Volume 2. Game Update in Progress
The humanoid form, which had already been unstable, began to stretch gradually, and my entire body started to exhibit a scorched-black color.
Just like that, I became an Evil Spirit Form, and the events that followed began to unfold.
Now here comes the key point...
What kind of unbelievable chemical reaction occurred between my soul and Liu Yunyan’s soul?
Why did it result in this situation?
If the one who went berserk at the beginning wasn’t me, but Liu Yunyan instead, and she devoured me first, would the same chemical reaction have occurred?
In any case, no matter what, in the time that followed, the Evil Spirit Form didn’t go through any major changes, only gradually became stronger.
Other than the initial transformation into the Evil Spirit Form after devouring Liu Yunyan’s soul, there was nothing particularly strange.
Forget it... the existence of something like a strange entity was never logical to begin with.
Trying to calculate it with human logic is just nonsense.
But one thing was certain: my soul probably wasn’t solely my own.
This three-meter-tall soul looked more like a fusion of Liu Yunyan and Zhang Yiwei.
And whoever devoured whom, determined who took dominance.
If I looked at it that way, it became somewhat clear why I found it extremely difficult when trying to control other people’s bodies.
Because my Evil Spirit Form originated from two different bodies.
And no matter which body this Evil Spirit Form inhabited, it should’ve been able to move freely.
But other bodies couldn’t integrate with it perfectly.
That’s also why I could use Liu Yunyan’s body without any hindrance.
“So according to this, I can’t delete Liu Yunyan’s memory?”
I furrowed my brows slightly.
To confirm my guess, I tried to delete a small portion of Liu Yunyan’s useless memories.
However... something unimaginable happened.
Just as I erased that completely inconsequential bit of memory, the entire body suddenly trembled violently.
This inexplicable muscle spasm instantly affected the whole Evil Spirit Form.
“Gaaaahhhhh!!!”
A powerful... soul-ripping pain made my entire body tense up uncontrollably.
My head jerked upward unnaturally, my facial features twisted by spasming muscles.
All my muscles convulsed wildly.
At the same time, the Evil Spirit Form was forcefully separated from the body.
It too felt that intense tearing sensation.
In a half-detached state, it suddenly howled miserably toward the sky.
Muscles began tearing the skin.
My whole body bled as if hemorrhaging.
From the torn skin all over, fresh blood gushed out.
My eyes, ears, and nasal cavity continuously oozed blood.
The pain from the Evil Spirit Form nearly drove me insane.
Even the eerie grin on my face could no longer be maintained.
It turned into an expression of immense agony as I roared toward the sky.
The physical body rolled its eyes back, its muscles constantly contracting and tearing at the skin.
The blood soaked through the clothes instantly.
The light bulb above my head suddenly began to flicker nonstop.
Eventually, accompanied by the Evil Spirit Form’s sharp scream, it exploded with a ‘pop’.
At the same time, sparks and crackling noises erupted from all the surrounding power outlets.
“Gaaah!!!”
‘Clang!!’
Finally, at the moment the pain ceased, the Evil Spirit Form was involuntarily pulled back into the body.
At the same time, the deleted memory was rapidly restored to its original state.
The once-tense body abruptly regained feeling, but instantly collapsed to the floor.
The physical body made no sound.
And the Evil Spirit Form’s voice couldn’t be heard by others.
So... the noise in my room didn’t attract anyone’s attention.
“Cough cough...”
Blood and saliva kept flowing uncontrollably from my mouth.
A wave of heat surged from my eye sockets.
Lying on the ground with great difficulty, every part of my body was bleeding profusely.
The pain of having my skin torn apart by muscle almost drove me insane.
“Looks... looks like it’s real.”
My breathing was rapid.
Blood continuously gushed from the capillaries in my mouth.
The corners of my mouth were torn.
My eye sockets were ripped open.
The whites of my eyes were flooded with bloody water.
My body was now riddled with wounds, and nearly every pore on my skin was bleeding.
However, as the Evil Spirit Form returned to normal and the memory was restored, the self-destruction of my body began to stabilize.
Under the powerful rebound ability of the Evil Spirit Form, my body began recovering rapidly.
The spots where the skin had torn open and exposed muscles and blood vessels began to seal up.
The burst capillaries in my eye whites also started to heal.
In just a few breaths, my body had almost returned to its original state.
Although the wounds were healing, the lost blood couldn't be replenished immediately.
And the floor was now covered in bloodstains.
To avoid being discovered, I could only grit my teeth and force myself to stay conscious through the dizziness caused by blood loss.
I walked to the bathroom and grabbed a mop to start cleaning the floor.
“Huff~ huff~ looks like... my soul really did merge, merged... with Liu Yunyan’s soul.”
To keep myself from passing out, I kept talking to myself.
But due to severe blood loss and the lingering fear brought on by that overwhelming pain, my breathing was far from steady.
“And also because... because Liu Yunyan and Zhang Yiwei’s souls... are the main components, so... once injured, the Evil Spirit Form is also... strongly affected...”
By now, there was already a commotion outside the door.
It was probably because the Evil Spirit Form’s earlier scream caused a blackout in the entire villa, right?
Thankfully, the tap water wasn’t dependent on this place’s power supply, so it hadn’t stopped.
I quickly cleaned everything up.
After making sure there wasn’t a single trace of blood left on the floor, I went into the bathroom.
Even if it was cold water, I had to wash off.
Otherwise, there’d be no way to explain all the blood on my body.
I took off all my clothes, placed them in a nearby basin, and held them under the tap, letting the running water wash away the blood.
At the same time, I scrubbed the blood from my body.
The wounds that had just torn open were already gone.
My skin had healed with incredible speed.
But the pain didn’t fade as easily.
At the very least... the soul-tearing pain was beyond comparison.
A wave of dread rose in my heart.
Fortunately, I had only deleted a small, unimportant piece of memory.
Otherwise, who knew what might have happened.
But even those deleted memories had been restored.
Perhaps in the midst of that agony, the Evil Spirit Form instinctively repaired it.
My guess was correct... when I deleted other people’s memories, I had never felt such soul-ripping pain.
But with Liu Yunyan—even the slightest deletion—left me in unbearable agony.
It even felt like... if I were to delete all of Liu Yunyan’s memories, the Evil Spirit Form might vanish completely.
