Level Six Death World
When Leng Zimeng reached the door of Huang Lingheng's room, she stopped.
She hesitated slightly before speaking to Shen Hui:
"Shen Hui... Although this whole thing started because of us, could you help Huang Lingheng get out of this mess?"
"Grandpa, the Lord of Night is about to abdicate, and then the organizations beneath the night will fight for power again."
"It should have been Huang Lingheng's father, who is also my adoptive father, who fought for it."
"But... my adoptive father had an accident before, which may have been done by the other Night Organization, but there's no evidence."
"Huang Lingheng is preparing to take on the responsibility of competing for our branch of Hong Ye, which is why he is so eager to become stronger..."
Listening to Leng Zimeng's story, Shen Hui could roughly imagine their lives as members of the organization.
Family ties aren't that important.
However, all of this was irrelevant to Shen Hui, who immediately interrupted her.
"This has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, Shen Hui pushed open the door.
A chilling wind swept over us, carrying with it a thin black mist and an aura that sent shivers down our spines.
Shen Hui looked inside; the room was pitch black.
Not a single ray of light penetrated.
Leng Zimeng turned on the light switch next to the door.
The soft light came on, but it wasn't very bright.
Because there is a thin layer of mist in the air.
The layout here is similar to the room where Shen Hui is, except that it's the same bed that Huang Lingheng is lying on.
There were large patches of black stains and watermarks on it.
Some black things, like tree roots, grass stems and leaves, clung to the sheets and bedding.
It appears to have originated from the bedding.
Zhiyue frowned, appearing somewhat uncomfortable, both physically and mentally.
Shen Hui didn't feel anything strange; on the contrary, he felt a sense of warmth, like returning home and seeing an acquaintance.
The three walked forward.
Huang Lingheng's body was covered by the quilt, with only his eyes closed and his extremely pale head exposed.
Leng Zimeng pulled back the bedding. Huang Lingheng was naked from the waist up, his skin was deathly pale, and he was also very swollen.
The surface was covered with dense bumps, and some of these bumps sprouted black root-like substances that clung to the sheets.
It looks both bizarre and disgusting, and incredibly strange.
"He's been like this for a short time since he came back yesterday; even his Creation World has been corrupted."
"He's very mentally unstable, especially when he sees us..."
Leng Zimeng recounted what had happened from yesterday to today.
Huang Lingheng seemed to sense that someone was coming.
He opened his eyes, his gaze strange and unfocused.
A strange yet blissful smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, but only on the lower half of his face.
The upper half of his face is like a sculpture, without any muscles involved.
He looked at Shen Hui, as if he had seen something that made him happy.
He burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Leng Zimeng and Zhiyue seemed to find it a bit unbelievable.
This is the first time they've seen Huang Lingheng actually smile since yesterday.
However, when Huang Lingheng saw Leng Zimeng and Zhiyue...
The smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by fear and panic.
He was uttering incomprehensible syllables, but one could tell that they were filled with fear.
Shen Hui realized that Huang Lingheng's perception had been distorted.
In his eyes now, Leng Zimeng and Zhiyue are probably those terrifying monsters.
However, Huang Lingheng calmed down after a short while.
His wandering gaze became focused, and he regained some clarity.
It seems that Huang Lingheng hasn't completely lost his mind, or rather, his SAN value is quite high.
Huang Lingheng looked at him, a hint of apology on his face.
I'm sorry, I lied to you before.
At this moment, Leng Zimeng spoke to Shen Hui again:
"Shen Hui, can you help him...?"
However, Huang Lingheng interrupted her at this moment, his voice weak and powerless.
"Zimeng, stop talking."
"Since people enjoy the fruits of success, they must also be willing to bear all the consequences of failure."
"That's what our father taught us, isn't it?"
"This is my own fault; it's the best outcome that you weren't implicated."
Leng Zimeng's eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips.
Finally, he said to Shen Hui, "I'm sorry, this is the result of our actions, and we still made such a request of you."
Shen Hui didn't say much, "Let's go, there's nothing to see."
Shen Hui came here simply to see what would happen after being contaminated.
Huang Lingheng closed his eyes and drifted back into his own mental world.
Shen Hui and the other two went outside and closed the door again.
"I'm getting ready to go back, Qingxue..."
Before Shen Hui could finish speaking, Zhiyue interrupted him.
"Qingxue should rest here; her mental state is actually quite poor."
"Don't worry, I'll be here too. None of us are feeling very well."
Shen Hui could understand that their rationality had diminished to some extent.
It will take some time to recover.
Shen Hui originally wanted to give it to Qingxue to take away, but he really didn't know where to take her.
Otherwise, the only option is to go find Ye Long and Xiao Xiangyan.
Now that Zhiyue would be here, Shen Hui felt relieved.
"Then I'll leave it to you. I have other things to attend to, so I'll have to go now."
"If she wakes up... never mind, I'll tell her myself then. Let me know if she wakes up."
Zhiyue and Huang Lingheng escorted Shen Hui to the gate.
This place is located in the suburbs and is very secluded, but a driver has already been arranged for Shen Hui.
As they were preparing to leave, Shen Hui asked Leng Zimeng.
"The Fool sent it back to us, but ignored Huang Lingheng?"
Leng Zimeng shook her head. "No."
Shen Hui paused for a moment, then said, "There's nothing I can do about Huang Lingheng's current condition, but as long as he can pull through, he'll be fine."
"So it all depends on his will."
After Shen Hui finished speaking, he got into the car that was leaving.
The car engine roared as it started.
Shen Hui sat in the back seat with his eyes closed.
Actually, I'm not in a very good state either.
Immersed in the Death World, Shen Hui immediately discovered that Death World had grown larger upon entering.
And it's more than twice the size!
The rules that constitute the world, as well as the World Will and the Star Core it nurtures, have become more solidified.
This is... the Death World has been upgraded from level five to level six!
Shen Hui immediately checked the feedback from the World Will.
[The Death World has been upgraded from Level 5 to Level 6]
[The diameter of the Death World has expanded to 4200 kilometers]
[Nurtured the World Origin Power: 5000]
[For the first time, a deity belonging to this world descends upon the Death World, granting it the World Trait: Miracle]
[The Deep Ones race gains the racial trait: Call of the Father of Sharks]
