Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

Watching Chen Shu leave, Hong Ying asked in confusion, "That little Shu, going out so late at night, I don't know what he was thinking."

Wen Qimo calmly asked, "What's wrong so late at night? Didn't Qi Ye go out too?"

Hongying shook her head. "It's different. Qiye went to see his friends. What can he do when he goes out?"

Wen Qimo stood up from the sofa. "Should I go and see?"

Hongying thought for a moment, then turned around and went to her room to get the black box. She walked towards the door and said, "I'll go. You stay here with Xiaonan."

"Sister Hongying, be careful."

Si Xiaonan instructed.

"Know it."

……

Chen Shu went out and ran towards the Kailanski Hotel.

We need to be quick, or we won't be able to get our hands on the Forbidden Ruins.

Thinking of the forbidden ruins, Chen Shu ran even faster.

As Chen Shu ran, he looked at his surroundings and gradually slowed down.

Logically speaking, the closer you get to Baili Pangpang's hotel, the more people should be on the street.

However, the situation is quite the opposite now; the surrounding shops are still open, but there isn't a single passerby in sight.

What Chen Shu didn't notice was that there wasn't a single person around.

Even the clouds in the sky and the clocks hanging on the walls of the surrounding shops were frozen in place.

"...Oh, I really didn't expect you to notice so quickly."

Chen Shu's gaze was fixed on the distance ahead. At the far end of the street, a figure appeared out of thin air and slowly walked towards them.

A black tuxedo, long hair casually draped over her shoulders, a purple iris brooch on her chest, and a faint smile that always graced her lips.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Shu's eyes, but he said calmly:

"Sigh, I should have been the one who didn't expect it. My little mystery has actually attracted the famous [Dreaming]."

The murmur stopped not far from Chen Shu and said with a smile, "Not bad, such superb disguise skills. If you hadn't used this dog's body before, I wouldn't have been able to find you."

Chen Shu shook his head and laughed, "It's not really a disguise, I'm just borrowing its body for a bit."

"Did Lord Yiyu come here to recruit me... or to kill me?"

Yiyu smiled but didn't answer the question. "...Didn't you give the Night Watch a big gift a while ago?"

Chen Shu said in surprise, "It seems I underestimated you. You even know this."

The murmur spoke again, "Five months have passed. Do you think the Night's Watch has fully trusted you?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Shu didn't understand what the rambling was trying to express.

Yi Yu smiled without saying a word, only looking in a certain direction behind Chen Shu.

Chen Shu looked at Yiyu's smile and felt a chill run down his spine, as if something terrifying was about to happen.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to look behind him, his pupils suddenly contracting...

"Sister Hongying?!"

At the far corner, Hongying stood there, quietly looking in Chen Shu's direction, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Those emotions, reflected in Chen Shu's eyes, converged into two words—"disappointment."

Judging from Hongying's appearance, she also seemed to be trapped in the nightmare created by her delirium.

Just like Chen Shu, this was the scene in Hong Ying's eyes at this moment.

Chen Shu and Yiyu chatted amiably, occasionally bursting into laughter together, as if they were old friends.

"Holy crap! Talking nonsense! Are you trying to sow discord between me?"

Chen Shu turned his head and glared angrily at the delirious speech, unconsciously uttering profanities.

Yiyu calmly looked at Chen Shu, smiled, and spoke.

"For five months, the Night Watch instructors have always given you special 'care,' and I have always believed that your emotions have been unusually stable."

"...It seems that he is more stable than the average person now, and he did not take direct action. However, it is still not ideal. It is not good to curse."

“Dreaming! I ***…”

Chen Shu cursed, "You better not touch her! Otherwise, don't blame me for not leaving you a whole corpse when I see you again!"

She took two steps back, maintaining her composure, and said, "It seems that girl is quite important to you, I..."

"Stop your damn nonsense. You like playing the divide-and-conquer game, huh? Let me tell you, even if you succeed, I won't join you!"

Chen Shu interrupted his ramblings directly.

If we weren't already outmatched by this guy, and if he weren't already talking incoherently, he'd probably just be a nightmare projection.

If he could defeat him, and if he were still in his original form, Chen Shu would want to devour him alive.

Having persevered for five months, if I could just hold on a little longer and change the Night's Watch's preconceived notions about mystery, I would have accomplished something truly remarkable.

Now, this guy has broken it all.

...No, if it were Hongying, there would still be a chance to mitigate the situation...

"Old man, just say the word, will you kill me or not? If not, then get lost."

Chen Shu put on an air of righteous indignation, ready to face death.

"What, now that an ancient 'god' from the Church of the Ancient Gods is standing right in front of you, you don't even have the slightest desire to have a chat?"

As she spoke in her delirium, her eyes met Chen Shu's, as if trying to see right through him.

"...Stop with your silly little schemes. Since you're here, you must have come prepared. One 'witness' isn't enough."

As he murmured, his gaze shifted again.

Chen Shu stood there stunned for a long time before slowly turning his head.

A hundred meters away, on a rooftop, Leng Xuan set up a sniper rifle and looked over with a cold expression. Chen Shu could vaguely see the anger he was suppressing in his eyes.

It was as if he would shoot Chen Shu at any moment if he could.

In Leng Xuan's eyes, the scene presented was exactly the same as Hong Ying's.

Chen Shu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and a bone-chilling coldness assaulted him.

However, in the blink of an eye, the chill turned into anger.

The black liquid instantly covered Big Yellow, transforming it into a ferocious lava hound.

The gaping maw lunged straight at the whispering maniac's head...

Yiyu calmly took a step back, and Chen Shu immediately missed his bite.

At the same time, the surrounding shops, buildings, and utility poles began to shake violently.

Despite her murmured words, she remained elegant, saying, "Taking action is useless unless you want them both to die right now."

"...Oh, right, besides the two of them, there are many innocent people around here."

Chen Shu stopped what he was doing and quietly looked at the delirious voice. "If you let them go, I will consider joining the Church of the Ancient Gods."

"I look forward to seeing the birth of a new 'god'."

After bowing deeply, the man in his murmured voice slowly vanished into nothingness.

"Pah, a new 'god'? See if I'll add you guys or not."

Chen Shu turned to look at the corner in the distance, but Hong Ying's figure had already disappeared.

Looking at the rooftop a hundred meters away, Leng Xuan had already moved.

This is terrible. It probably won't be long before the news spreads that I'm an undercover agent for the Church of the Ancient Gods.

What's done is done; the important thing now is to improve my own abilities.

He took off at top speed and rushed towards Lin Qiye and the others' location.

In the nightmare created by the delirium, Chen Shu couldn't even share the vision of the [symbiotic offspring].

This ability returned to normal after the babbling left. According to the observations of the [Symbiotic Offspring], it should be possible to obtain [Body Reconstruction] now that the time has passed.
