Shadow Within the Shadow

"I don't know either!" The Octopus Monster's words brimmed with excitement, and its eyes shone with the same fervor. "I want to stop too, but I just can't control myself."

After saying a few words to Luo Chuan, it seemed to lose control again and began circling around the beach.

This fellow seemed to have been mentally affected by something.

Luo Chuan glanced once more at the patterns on the sea demon girl's fish tail. That should have been the reason.

But the effect did not seem negative. Couldn't he see how exceptionally energetic the Octopus Monster was?

What should he do next?

After thinking for a moment, Luo Chuan took out a grape.

Then, he suddenly thought of something.

"System, hasn't this thing been priced yet?" Luo Chuan asked the system in his mind.

"Special item. The owner may decide how to use it." the system replied.

So it was telling him to use it as he saw fit.

After giving it some thought, Luo Chuan stopped thinking about it.

Forget it. He would save this group of sea demons first.

Luo Chuan pried open the sea demon girl's mouth and stuffed the grape inside.

It had to be said, anything produced by the system was guaranteed to deliver.

The sea demon girl instantly opened her eyes, letting out bursts of agonized sounds that carried no clear meaning.

Luo Chuan clearly saw that those eyes had turned completely pitch-black, filled with endless madness and destruction!

"...It's here... It's here... It's here..."

The sea demon girl's mind was unstable, perpetually trapped in some strange state.

But judging by the scene where she had transformed into a storm earlier, this state was hardly surprising.

Luo Chuan suddenly saw that within the shadow beneath her, some strange thing seemed to be churning.
