Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai Yu was a very decisive person.

After making up his mind, he no longer hesitated and began to climb up the mountain rope again. The distance between the two floors was not too far. In addition to the race against time, even he was surprised that he reached his room that quickly.

When he reached, he saw that the surrounding area was still and dark.

The abnormal being was busy killing other people in another building. As sad as it may sound, this was very good news for Bai Yu.

He held the potion tightly in his left hand while his right hand relied on his memory to find the flashlight in one of the cabinets.

“Tape, rope…

“I have to be quick. Who knows when she’ll come back.”

Bai Yu quickly found the tape and rope from the junk room and packed them in his backpack.

He wanted to make sure that when he went crazy later, he would not move around and create a big commotion. The tape was used to stick to his mouth, and the rope was used to bind his feet.

He was prepared for anything to happen.

Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, then picked up the large knife that weighed nearly twenty kilograms.

In this cold and strange world, only the hard handle of the knife could make him feel a little warmth.

The door of the next room was open. Technically, it was more half-destroyed than opened, and there were countless dense teeth marks on it, as if someone had bitten it off in a hurry for something.

Bai Yu stood at the door, popped the cap, and drank the potion in one gulp.

The rich smell of green tea filled his senses.

Immediately, a strange heat rose from his lower abdomen. His entire body was emitting a scorching temperature, and even his skin was now flushed red.

“F*ck there shouldn’t be other effects to this potion, right?”

Bai Yu kept feeling that this potion had other negative effects that were not mentioned. However, time was of the essence, and he did not have the luxury to over analyze it. 

Without hesitation, he flashed across the room.

The dark environment was filled with the rusty smell of blood.

The walls and the ground were painted with red paint, and all kinds of strange symbols were drawn. Among them, light swirled and emitted waves of evil and depraved aura.

Countless maddening whispers lingered in his ears, making his mind go crazy and his flesh loosen.

Bai Yu clearly felt that if he did not have the potion, the moment he stepped into the room, he would instantly become distorted.

Even so, his whole body trembled non-stop from the environment. Soon, blood spurted out from his palm and a mouth full of dense teeth split open.

“An ordinary person would definitely go crazy when they see themselves suddenly become like this. Fortunately, I’m already going crazy.”

Ignoring the change in his hand, Bai Yu walked into the living room.

Soon, he found something unusual. After all, the room was small enough to notice small changes, and the red light in the darkness was extremely eye-catching.

It was a piece of paper that was filled with words written in blood, a typical piece of paper students would use for school.

“It can’t be such a coincidence, it looks like a demon contract or something like that…”

Bai Yu walked forward.

There was a box beside the paper that was currently open. It was obviously the container of the paper.

“I want to obtain a beauty that surpasses all living things…”

There was only this sentence on the paper. The handwriting was that of the female streamer. It seemed that it was because of this piece of paper that she had become like this.

The aesthetic standards of these strange objects were completely different from that of humans.

Maybe she thought that having pink tentacles was cute. Either that, she just wanted to cause trouble to others.

Bai Yu looked at the time on his phone.

It had already been three minutes since he entered. There were still less than two minutes of being normal left.

Without any hesitation, he put the paper back into the box and slammed the lid on it.

The murmuring sound in his ears gradually weakened.

The strange, twisted, and depraved feeling in the room also quickly faded away. The words on the wall no longer emitted a dark aura, and the surroundings became quiet again.

‘As expected, the strength of the mutated body alone is not enough to cast the pseudo-world, but the effect of this d*mn thing.’

Bai Yu thought to himself.

At this time, the change came to nothing. The box made of an unknown material in his hand instantly disappeared and appeared in the white space in his mind.

Bai Yu’s expression changed from confused to shocked.

This thing that made people fall into madness and produce distortions outside is now stored in his mind?

However, he did not have much time to look into this pressing issue as well.

It had already reached five minutes!

The potion had reduced his intelligence by 50 points.

His thoughts slowed down rapidly. He had to try so hard to think of a logical thought. He was about to stop all thoughts in his mind to sing a lullaby.

In another minute, he would completely become an id*ot!

Time was running out!

Bai Yu hurriedly squatted behind the sofa and took out tape and rope from his backpack. He was prepared to bind himself so that he would not create too much of a commotion in a few minutes after he completely went crazy and attracted the abnormal being back.

Most abnormal beings acted on instinct. That was to say, their killing patterns were erratic and unpredictable.

However, unexpected movements, sounds, and even gazes could attract abnormal beings.

After the source becomes contained, the pseudo-world would decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye. He believed that the decision of the outside rescue team would soon be decided and they would enter the community to rescue him.

He only needed to hold on for a few minutes. When he moved, the palm of his left hand cracked open, and a monster-like sharp tooth grew out.

“Hey, hey, enough is enough. I’m going crazy, and you’re still bothering me.”

Bai Yu felt his scalp go numb, and his sanity value dropped rapidly.

After this mouth grew out, the restless feeling of his skin and flesh burning finally slowly subsided, but Bai Yu could no longer think about anything at all.

It had already been more than six minutes!

His intelligence had dropped to 70 points, and in a few dozen seconds, he would truly become an id*ot.

There were not many things that he could think of in his mind right now, and it was about to crash.

“B*stard, I swear that there’s something wrong with this potion!”

Bai Yu could not control his body any longer. His hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably at this moment. Not to mention sealing his mouth with tape, even the simple action of picking up the tape required his brain to react for more than ten seconds before he could give the order.

He had failed this plan!

Although he had successfully taken in the source of the problem from this extraordinary incident, he had already lost control of his entire body.

The consequences of the potion far exceeded his expectations. He did not know what he would do after completely going crazy.

Seven minutes had already passed!

Bai Yu stopped struggling and revealed a strange smile. He slowly stood up from the darkness and swayed closer to the wall. Like a gecko, he climbed up the wall.

Eight minutes!

The sharp teeth in the palms of his hands were tightly biting the wall. His entire body had completely turned into something like a reptile, and he was very agile as he walked on the wall. If this scene was seen by others, they would definitely be scared half to death.

The Madness Movement potion’s effects were causing him to turn into a lunatic.

From his actions to his thoughts, all of them made him look immensely ridiculous.

At this moment, the half-closed door at Bai Yu’s room was violently opened.

A slim figure walked in.

“The pseudo-world is slowly disappearing. Is it because I killed the mutated body, or is it because of other reasons?”

“The distorted aura that was being emitted is the strongest here. If I’m not wrong, the source should be coming from…”

Lin Shan looked around coldly. With the thermal night vision device being installed, even in the dark, it did not affect her movements at all.

“I sense heat signatures. There’s a creature moving around here. It didn’t take more than five minutes for it to come back. Is it a human? Or is there another mutant hiding here?” Lin Shan’s weary eyes shifted. As a senior investigator, she would never let her guard down.

“The heat signature approached the window sill from the living room and left its mark on the wall. Did it jump out from the window sill? No, the residual heat on the wall is… It’s too abnormal. It’s on the wall, it’s above my head!”

Lin Shan raised her head at lightning speed. To her horror, she saw Bai Yu pouncing on her and crashing into her body..
