Yi, Turn Around Quickly

Yi, quickly ■■, ■■■ turn around

Before her was a cozy room. A few cosmetics sat on the table, while several compact everyday Soul Tools rested by the bed. Fan Yu and Zhou Yi were legally married in Shrek, so naturally they lived together.

Gently placing his wife on the soft bed, Fan Yu patiently removed her shoes. Sitting beside her, he comforted her softly, "Yi Yi, feeling better? Don't worry. With the dean personally taking action, the assassin will definitely be caught. Maybe when you wake up tomorrow morning, you'll get to teach that bastard a lesson yourself. We'll give him a mixed doubles beating."

Zhou Yi seemed amused by her husband's words and could not help but smile. "Mm, I'll listen to you, hubby."

Fan Yu kissed her forehead again, the heat in his gaze growing ever more intense. "I'm going to take a shower. Wait for me~"

"Mm..." Zhou Yi lowered her head and pulled the covers up over half her face.

The water heater came on, followed by the sound of splashing water. Normally, Fan Yu showered quickly, usually taking around five minutes. Yet this time, Zhou Yi waited on the bed for ten minutes without seeing her husband emerge from the bathroom.

Maybe he was getting ready for what would happen later.

Zhou Yi's heart raced, but with nothing else to do, she began fiddling with the little gadgets her husband casually invented and left by the bed, passing the time.

Everything seemed peaceful.

Even as the lights gradually dimmed, Zhou Yi noticed nothing, until...

"Yi■..."

"!!!"

That voice again.

Before Zhou Yi could react, the small mirror in her hand inexplicably turned crimson!

Crash!!

Zhou Yi flung it away in one motion. The sound of shattering glass came from outside the window. Standing beside the bed and staring toward the bathroom door, she began shouting in terror again, "Fan Yu, Fan Yu!!"

"■Yi, quickly ■■, ■■■ turn around..."

"■Yi, quickly ■■, ■■■ turn around..."

The voice continued to surround her, calling out more and more often, growing louder and louder.

Turn around? Did she really need to turn around?

Zhou Yi vaguely caught hold of a key word.

But wasn't there just a wall behind her?

Thump... thump... thump...

The scene in the room changed in an instant. Zhou Yi felt her consciousness blur, and the next moment, she was in pitch-black darkness. Around her, faint squirming sounds of electric current were gradually drawing nearer.

"Th-this..." Aunt Zhou's legs trembled violently. She already felt unable to breathe.

"■Yi, ■don't■..."

This time, the voice changed its words. It was no longer telling her to turn around, but it sounded agonized.

Should she turn around again?

Aunt Zhou recalled the words that voice had repeated so many times before.

There was no choice left. She had to try anything!

Though her limbs seemed unable to move, she could still turn her neck.

In her view behind her was Fan Yu, approaching her step by step.

"Hubby, save me, save me quickly!"

Zhou Yi was overjoyed, completely failing to notice that her head had turned a grotesque, inhuman 180 degrees.

"My, my~ Yi Yi, why did you run away? Am I really that scary?"

Fan Yu sighed softly, his eyes full of careless mockery. With his hands behind his back, he bent forward and tilted his head slightly.

Drip, drip.

Aunt Zhou was so frightened that she lost control of her bladder and bowels.

"You... you're not Fan Yu at all!! Who are you?!"

"Fan Yu" looked confused. Pouting, he pinched his chin. "My~ We haven't seen each other for only a little while, and you've already forgotten me? Yi Yi is so heartless. I'm so sad~"

"No, no... Let me out. Give Fan Yu back to me!"

"Fan Yu" chuckled. Then, his body began twisting at an exceedingly bizarre angle, his voice echoing through the dim space. "Mwah... Why are you getting angry so quickly~ How strange. I'm clearly using a face you know and calling you by the name you like, so why aren't you happy at all?"

"Ah~ Since Yi Yi is so lacking in romance, I don't feel like keeping up the act anymore."

Amid intertwining crimson and dark blue, the darkness stopped twisting, and Qian Mu's figure appeared before Zhou Yi.

"Qian Mu?! You!!"

Shh—

Qian Mu placed her index finger between her lips and smiled. "Yi Yi, don't be so fierce~ It would be bad if you disturbed your dear husband."

"Fan Yu? You... what did you do to ■him?! You... who ■are you!!" Aunt Zhou's speech was already becoming unclear.

Qian Mu put her hands on her hips, looking somewhat proud. "Let me introduce myself again. My true name is the Herrscher of Erosion. Yi Yi, you have to remember it~"

"As for that uncle... I'm very sorry, Yi Yi. He really showed no tenderness toward a lady~ In the end, I could only defend myself. But you should know, Yi Yi, I never intended to harm anyone, much less your beloved? And that is indeed the truth. Your husband is still alive and well. Though he no longer exists in the form you know, he is right beside us now."

Zhou Yi's weakness grew ever stronger, and her knees had already buckled. "■Where? ■I want to see him..."

The Herrscher of Erosion smiled faintly and pointed at her own forehead. "Here."

"Your unromantic dear husband has already become a part of me. In turn, I have also become a part of him. It is precisely because I was a blank slate that I could accept him. Your husband should feel honored—he was the first human to become mine."

"I obtained Fan Yu's data, Fan Yu's experiences, Fan Yu's emotions and will. So, Yi Yi, you can completely regard me as the continuation of Fan Yu's life. Does saying that make you feel a little better?"

Under the Herrscher of Erosion's barrage of silver-tongued persuasion, Aunt Zhou's will was nearly shattered. "■... Give ■him back to ■me..."

Shi Bao looked dejected. "Fine. It seems that no matter how I explain myself, I'm a bad person in Yi Yi's eyes. So..."

At last, the Herrscher of Erosion revealed her vicious fangs.

Those squirming sounds of electric current within the space were actually thick, mimicked threads. Blood, electromagnetism, water, fluids—inside every thread were symbols representing different forms of life, whether inorganic or organic.

"Become a part of me. You will live forever, forever, Zhou Yi... So will he."

"Heh... hehehe... hahahahaha!"

The Herrscher of Erosion successfully eroded the first and second targets, absorbing negative emotions such as fear and despair toward Honkai. A total of approximately 500 HW of Honkai Energy has been obtained for the host.

Far away in the Sun Moon Empire, Lu Xueling received a notification from the Honkai God Simulation System.
