Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Do You Like Me, Too? All of You Should Like Me, Right?

Such bloody and cruel scenes spread from street to street.

Chu He had scattered an immense number of photos of the Shy One this time.

He had specially arranged for people to do this before he arrived.

The people he sent were blindfolded the entire time to avoid seeing the Shy One’s face in the photos and triggering the death rule.

They completed their mission almost purely on instinct.

Fortunately, they fulfilled their mission in the end.

But even those who had never seen the photos would be forced to witness the Shy One’s face amidst this feast of slaughter, thereby triggering its kill-on-sight rule.

Most critically, the Shy One was an Evil Spirit. It knew no fatigue and feared neither death nor injury.

Chu He had previously unleashed this Evil Spirit upon the White Elephant Empire. After that was over, he had brought it back.

Now, it was being put to use once again.

With a slight movement of his finger, a sliver of Mysterious Power, compressed into a bead, quietly materialized at his fingertip.

The moment the strange bead appeared,

the cries and screams of countless young women echoed out,

mixed with the murmur of their sweet nothings.

The jumble of sounds made even Chu He’s brow furrow slightly.

He withdrew the Thunder Power that was suppressing the bead.

The strange bead instantly expanded at an extreme rate, rapidly transforming into a young man in a fine suit, sprawled on the ground.

The face was still that of Si Haowen. His handsome features were twisted into a pale, eerie smile.

He stared intently at Chu He.

Although it was a mindless Evil Spirit, it could still sense the mortal threat emanating from Chu He.

So, after a brief hesitation,

the Evil Spirit didn’t rashly attack Chu He. Instead, it opened its mouth and asked, "Do you like me, too? Do you want to join me, to follow me?"

"Get lost."

Chu He lifted his foot and kicked out. The immense force slammed heavily into the young man’s body.

The young man flew out straight as an arrow, like a worn-out sack.

As he flew,

the young man’s face showed no sign of pain,

only the same eerie smile as always. He continuously repeated, "Do you like me, too? All of you must like me, right?"

The immense force of the kick

sent the young man flying for more than ten kilometers.

’The Shy One is already slaughtering people nonstop in this area. There’s no need to keep this young man here; it’s better to expand the kill zone.’

This was Chu He’s plan. On the soil of the White-Red Empire, he intended

to cultivate... a super Evil Spirit whose growth potential could reach some yet unknown, astonishing height!

’As for the threat from other Empires...’

’The best defense is a good offense.’

’Wiping them out completely is the only way to solve this problem once and for all.’

「On a street more than ten kilometers away.」

The handsome Si Haowen fell from the sky, smashing through the roof of a dessert shop and landing heavily on a table.

The scene terrified the many young women from the White-Red Empire inside.

Some were dressed in schoolgirl uniforms, some in Lolita dresses, and others in trendy, fashionable outfits.

The young women’s faces paled in terror. They scrambled to their feet, some cowering in corners while others bolted for the door.

Si Haowen slowly and deliberately got up from the floor.

He straightened his black suit and flashed a smile at the surrounding young women. "Do you like me? May I keep you company?"

"He fell from so high up but he’s completely fine."

"He’s so handsome, but his face is a little too pale."

"Sir, may I ask your name?"

It had to be said that Si Haowen’s face, combined with his perfectly trim figure,

was devastatingly effective against these young women.

The young women quickly forgot about how Si Haowen had appeared in the dessert shop.

Mustering their courage, they stepped forward out of curiosity.

In the bustling city, there was a cozy dessert shop.

Si Haowen’s gaze fell on the young woman in the schoolgirl uniform at the very front.

He slowly extended a hand, his voice gentle yet tinged with a hint of mystery. "Beautiful girl, would you like to be my fan?"

The girl from the White-Red Empire, her cheeks flushing crimson, shyly reached out her own hand.

Her eyes were full of curiosity. Although the handsome young man before her spoke a bit strangely,

his impeccably handsome face and the inexplicable, captivating aura he exuded

were impossible for her to resist.

Si Haowen said no more. Instead, he suddenly gripped the girl’s hand and pulled her into a tight embrace.

Gasps erupted from all around. No one had expected Si Haowen to be so bold.

However, his bold move also thrilled the onlookers.

"If you like me, then let’s be together forever."

Si Haowen said, a faint smile on his face.

Before the girl in the schoolgirl uniform could even grasp the deeper meaning of his words,

she felt her body uncontrollably begin to merge into Si Haowen.

Black mold spots began to bloom on her arms, once as delicate as lotus roots.

Her body started to give off the foul stench of a corpse, but an even stronger stench of death emanated from Si Haowen.

Si Haowen’s face still held that same eerie smile.

In an instant, the dessert shop fell deathly silent.

Everyone watched in horror as the girl in the schoolgirl uniform was slowly absorbed into Si Haowen’s body.

Then, after a horrifying squirming in his leg, the two actually merged into one.

The girl’s face was no longer lively and animated,

only a pale, eerie smile identical to Si Haowen’s remained.

"I’m so happy. Everyone, come join us."

The girl stretched out two arms covered in mold spots. With unimaginable strength,

she swiftly and violently dragged two young women toward her.

The black mold spread rapidly, soon consuming the entire dessert shop.

The windowpanes and the shop door were all covered in the sickening black mold.

Everyone was plunged into absolute panic, discovering they could no longer escape the terrifying place.

A few minutes later, the dessert shop seemingly returned to its former cozy appearance.

The shop door slowly opened, and Si Haowen squirmed out. Fused beneath him were the bodies of more than ten young women.

They moved on all fours, crawling like a terrifying human centipede.

...

WOO WOO WOO—

A sharp, piercing alarm echoed continuously over the island city.

Strangely shaped aircraft conducted tracking patrols in the sky.

A constant stream of real-time footage was transmitted to the Defense Command Headquarters.

"Xinwudao City has been invaded by an Evil Spirit! Nearby defense units are rushing to the city at full speed."

"Why wasn’t there any advance warning of an invasion in Xinwudao City?"

"Could someone be pulling strings behind the scenes?"

"Quick, get Lord Ootakemaru! That might be our safest bet."

"He’s already been notified. Lord Ootakemaru demands a thousand boys and girls."

"Done."

The entire Defense Command Headquarters quickly made its decision and began deployment.
