Male Succubus Apocalypse

"After that, we opened more channels. At that time, everyone was filled with joy at discovering a 'new world' and the enthusiasm to 'impatiently' start exploring it. There was not the slightest awe or caution towards the unknown.

But looking back now, even if we were more careful and prepared, the moment we used the Star Key to open the passage, the outcome was already determined."

Xiaobai looked at Xiaohei, who was already very weak. However, Xiaohei still stubbornly refused his help and walked to the platform outside the "maze" on his own. He exhaled more than he inhaled, looking at the "starry sky" with a reluctant but relieved expression, and told him everything.

In fact, I already had a bad premonition in my heart, but it was just an unforeseen premonition.

Xiaobai didn't say anything because Xiaohei didn't give him any chance to speak. He just kept to himself, as if he was performing a one-man show.

"The starry sky is alive. Those red dots that we think are beautiful are probably its eyes. It has long been lurking outside those 'materials'. When it peeked at us through the channel we opened, it knew it was time to 'feed'."

Xiao Hei has never been black, whether it's hair color or clothes...

One day, some "architects" woke up and found themselves with black hair and black clothes.

However, these architects did not care about this, but found it novel. In addition, their abilities became stronger and they could make black Rubik's Cubes with better controllability, which could open the "channel" faster.

Suddenly it became an unattainable fashion.

But as more channels were opened, more and more architects woke up with black hair and black clothes. They quickly found connections, and the new generation, who had more expectations for the "starry sky" that was closer to them and right in front of them, accelerated the construction of the "Star Key" on their own.

As the leader at that time, Xiao Hei had already moved the maze to the inside in order to facilitate communication with the old-school architects, build models together, and convey public opinion.

This unintentional act was both fortunate and unfortunate.

Soon, the first unexpected thing happened.

A "maze" outside the "Star Key" turned black, and the architect who belonged to it disappeared. According to his neighbor's companions, he went back to "rest".

Moreover, because his cooperation was needed in the work, other people who had entered the architect's "maze" and were familiar with it opened this black "maze" and went to look for people.

But he didn't come out for a long time.

This was then notified to Xiao Hei and the Old School. Due to the risks and unknown situations, they needed to completely open the "maze" to see what was inside. However, it was part of the "Star Key". If they wanted to open it completely without permission, they would have to ask the opinion of the "designer" who built the overall model.

Designers are the name given by architects to those who direct them on how to act, who act as the "brain" and build the "Big Rubik's Cube" model.

"That day, after the opening of the Black Maze, it infected the three normal Mazes, turning the two people standing in the front into black shapes. The owners of the Maze and the others who entered it have turned into surging red dots. Yes, the red dots on the Starry Sky are my compatriots."

However, this was just the beginning. Like a plague that had been accumulating for a long time and suddenly broke out without warning, more and more "black mazes" appeared on the second and third day.

The only instructions the "designers" can give are to cut through these "black mazes" and send them out.

But what was misjudged again was that these "black mazes" would "collapse" on their own even if they were not opened by the "magic cube". The products of the collapse would then contaminate all the protection chains of the "dead mazes" around them.

They then discovered that it was the "maze" that was infected first, and then they themselves.

The "starry sky" appeared completely in front of him, and the disintegrating "black maze" revealed floating red dots. As Xiao Hei observed, they became denser day by day.

Is it proliferating? Xiao Hei didn't think so. He thought that it was the larger "starry sky" that spread in through the channel. They were different from the "maze" and were a soft thing.

Then, facing an increasingly worse situation, emergency measures must be taken, such as isolating those who have not yet turned into "red dots", dividing up a separate area, and then shrinking the "maze group".

But differences arose, not just the inevitable dispute about "why should the designer be at the innermost part" - the "Star Key" began to turn black from the outside, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that this plague was related to the distance to the "starry sky".

Another reversed viewpoint also appeared: "We should accept turning black and becoming a red dot. Perhaps, turning into a red dot is the starting point of a new world."

Then some people actually ignored the arrangements, disintegrated from the "maze group" on their own, crashed into the "starry sky", and were swallowed by black and red.

Fundamentally, it's a mess. Every day is filled with endless arguments, emergencies, and fear of the unknown - now I know what fear is.

As for Xiao Hei, he is actually the least affected by the daily changes in the situation, because he is the idol of all the new generations, the leader who speaks out their ideas at the time, and the one who has mastered the general "model structure" of the old generation and can truly lead them to re-change the current incomprehensible "big Rubik's Cube".

That’s right, without the guidance of a “designer”, architects cannot operate the “Big Rubik’s Cube” at will, which will cause various consequences such as damage or even disintegration.

The new generation opposes the privileges of the old generation, but cannot really resist them. The only breakthrough is Xiao Hei.

Therefore, just because he was the proposer of the "Star Key" plan, he was not thrown out of the "maze group" by the new generation who had lost their constraints in order to "survive".

Often, he would look at the "starry sky" that was getting closer every day, wondering how he had gotten to this point and why it was like this.

No one offended him, but no one believed him anymore, because he was both a designer and a new generation. Because of this, he understood the thinking of these two groups, or the characteristics of these two groups of people.

He had seen the "starry sky" up close, had once had the desire to explore, and had also closely felt the mystery of the "Pale Source".

Under such circumstances, Xiao Hei had his own terrifying "thoughts" about the current strange situation.

Is it possible that "Starry Sky" is keeping "Pale Source" in captivity?

Because it's very simple. The "Starry Sky" is assimilating them just like they are expanding the "Maze Group", but why didn't it do that before? It clearly surrounds the periphery of the "Pale Source".

It is the "red dots". The "starry sky" needs more "red dots", which is their lives. Perhaps, the "starry sky" has never been for any "maze", but for them.

So where did they come from? It is very likely related to the "Pale Source". Everything makes sense. When architects completely turn all "materials" into "mazes", it means "maturity".

After harvesting this wave, there will probably be another wave, but this is just a hypothesis.

Or... is the colorful world they saw before the inside of the "Pale Source"? They themselves are a larger "Pale Source"? And the "Starry Sky" is also the architect.

It accidentally discovered that its "source of something" was opened, so it invaded.

During those days, Xiao Hei was quiet and more rational than all the other anxious and arrogant architects, but in fact, his mind had gone completely crazy.

"I don't plan to tell anyone, because it will only cause more panic, and what will it change? What's more, no one believes anything I say. The old guys think I'm making excuses for the new generation.

The new generation felt that I was protecting the old generation and that everything was over, so I made a plan that was completely different from theirs. ”

Xiao Hei secretly went to the quarantine area and, under the pretext of doing it for their benefit, asked them to make a "Black Rubik's Cube" for their own "maze".

That’s right, after verifying the “Black Cube”’s control over the “maze”, he wanted to see whether the “maze” would also be infected.

The fact is, it is true.

And he successfully turned himself into "Xiao Hei" under everyone's eyes. Xiao Hei, the innermost "Xiao Hei" in the entire "maze group", did something special. He wanted to use his own "maze" to try to infect the "Source of Paleness".

Xiao Hei just wanted to know the result, the final outcome of "Starry Sky" and "Source of Paleness". He was powerless to change the reality.

What awaits him is the "darkening" that happens faster than the result, but it doesn't matter anymore. Although it is selfish, it just proves that the "Source of Paleness" cannot resist or affect the infection of the "Starry Sky".

Then the ending was already determined, he just brought it forward.

He fell into a void ahead of time. But this was the result, and Xiao Hei was aware of it and could accept it with pleasure.

But he woke up again, on an extra platform in the "Pale Source", and his "maze" was nowhere to be found, but he was still alive.

And everything, the "Big Cube", or other people, have disappeared without a trace. This is the result that Xiao Hei expected.

Because he is the one who has turned evil in the innermost part, and other "mazes" bordering him will inevitably be infected. Once the "core" area is contaminated, the "Big Rubik's Cube" will inevitably go out of control.

It is impossible to open the Rubik's Cube immediately and reorganize its structure quickly to isolate the core area. If one part of the core is damaged, all parts must be mobilized. However, in the process of mobilization, it is impossible to avoid "infection".

Unlike directly cutting off a large part of the external maze group, the internal parts are interconnected and form a system. To remove them, they must be filled. This requires moving one area at a time. The more you move, the more "mazes" you touch.

But if you don't move, it won't work either.

If it is separated, the Rubik's Cube will fall apart and enter the end of "death" sooner.

This is also the reason why the new generation and the old generation have never done this experiment. The risks are devastating, but even if they don’t do it, the final outcome is inevitable.

However, Xiao Hei survived, most likely because he was bordering the "Pale Source". If that was the case, what about the other bordering "mazes"?

Moreover, why did the "labyrinth group" being harvested by the "starry sky" as the captive, not the original colorful world appear? Instead, it was just a black and red world.

Too many questions.

And the deep loneliness that followed accompanied Xiao Hei for a long, long time, so long that he wanted to jump off the platform to see what would happen.

Xiaobai's mumbling came from the "Pale Source" - Xiaohei did not expect that the "Pale Source" would actually produce its own "architect", and this seemed to be related to the fact that his own "maze" was assimilated by it.

It seems that the infection stimulated the "source of paleness" and produced "antibodies".

In other words, it is the will to resist.

Because, at the same time, Xiao Hei also received a call from the "starry sky", which wanted him to go back and to transform it into a unified will.

Sure enough, the "starry sky" is alive.

Xiao Hei's choice is to enter the "Source of Paleness", enter this "maze" that seems to be able to reverse the assimilation of the "starry sky", to resist the call of the "starry sky" to himself.

He also wanted a result, a result that he was betting all his compatriots on.

So a series of subsequent events happened.

In the "Pale Source", Xiao Hei could no longer hear the call from the "starry sky" and thought he was safe.

But it was not until Xiao Hei saw the "Pale Source" gradually collapse and disintegrate, that he realized that his "survival" might just be a trap set by the "Starry Sky".

Using him, the first alien to be assimilated by both parties at the same time, they set a trap for the "Pale Source" that could disintegrate it from within.

"Xiao Bai, in fact, I never survived. The 'red spot' has always been there. I should have realized it a long time ago. I just kept lying to myself." Xiao Hei turned around, smiled miserably, and lifted his clothes to reveal a large area of ​​scarred red skin underneath. "I wanted to live so much. I wanted to live with you and play with you. I was really happy... But I lied to you and hurt the 'maze lover' you loved. Now, it's time for me to leave."

"What do you mean by leaving?" Before Xiaobai could react and was overwhelmed by the truth, Xiaohei jumped off the platform and threw himself into the arms of the "Starry Sky".

This is the day when the truth is revealed after all the lies have receded and are forced to lie bare. It seems that the liars should be freed from their shackles, atone for their sins, and everything should return to the light, but in fact it makes the other party bear deeper shackles.

From the beginning to the end, Xiao Hei never considered Xiao Bai's feelings and thoughts.

……

"So, Xiaobai, in order for Xiaohei to continue to live, you disintegrated the 'Maze Parent' to feed the 'Starry Sky', just to let it go? But, is the thing underneath really still 'Xiaohei'?" Machi mustered up his courage, and with Xiaobai by his side as a guarantee, he moved to the edge to take a look. After understanding the situation, he peeked at Xiaobai who was squatting on the edge and said.

"I don't know... but, when I used the Rubik's Cube to arrange the places we've been to before, he still reacted..." Xiaobai said with a paranoid hope.

"Oh, what a touching story. Oh... I don't believe it! Hahaha! I have to say, Xiaobai, no matter how young or deceptive you are, you are still Brother Heng. You didn't tell me this story in detail, but to me, it contains a coherent logic, your usual 'education', and various conflicts. You probably even fooled yourself, didn't you? You wrote it so carefully.

If I wasn't an outsider and knew the rules of this world, I would have been fooled by you!" Machi walked behind Xiaobai, and his sad face suddenly burst into laughter. "No, it's because I'm an outsider that you dare to bring out this stuff."

"What, you..." Hearing this, Xiaobai was startled. He stood up and turned around. Just as he was about to say something, he was lifted up by Machi's armpit and interrupted loudly and forcefully.

"From the moment a lie is woven, it is full of selfishness. When it is told, a gambling game that may initially be just for some petty profits but can only be played with increasing stakes begins. Liars are like gamblers, and they always put themselves at the center." Machi stared at Xiaobai with a hint of anger. "Brother Heng, how much I want to say these words to the real you and expose your tricks, instead of arguing with you who defy the logic of the third rule."

The third rule: Remember that this is a spiritual world, it has its own "reality", but it cannot fight against "reality". And any "reality" is based on the "reality" seen by the target.

For example, a person cannot have so many "selves". In fact, what Xiaobai said greatly violated the fourth rule that Krolitz taught March.

With the code in hand, March can make all judgments based on the essence.

The reason why he listened to the end was because this was what the "self" of "Brother Heng" said. Assuming that Ma Qi's judgment was correct, then Xiao Bai was implicitly using lies to rebuke lies.

In fact, even without the rules, after Machi compared the two glimpses below and his different impacts on the "spiritual flow", he fully grasped the current situation.

Because, he gradually discovered that the reason why he was so hard to resist the first impact was that he felt too much empathy...

"Who is Brother Heng? Long legs! You're mistaken! What are you crazy about?" Xiaobai was about to move when he found that the person in front of him was holding him very tightly, to the point where it would hurt if he moved hard.

"Brother Heng, the real Xiao Hei in your story and the real Xiao Bai in front of me both like to tell stories... Shhh, you have told enough stories in reality and here. Now, it's my turn to tell a story. Although it's very short, it's real enough. It's a bedtime story that belongs exclusively to you, the little protagonist."
