The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 1036 A Completely Different Person
Zhu Lin's house was pitch black.

The lights are not on, nor are they necessary.

Because the person who was originally inside the house can no longer see anything.

But you can hear footsteps coming in.

And it can identify whose it is very accurately.

"Sheng Sheng, you're back?"

"Ah."

"There's still a strong smell of blood... Are you alright?"

“It’s alright, because I told Zhou Yi to keep his head clear and not let Dr. Liu take over.”

Will he accept it?

"He was reluctant to accept it at first, but he eventually did."

"It seems you have a lot to say."

"...So be it."

Liu Sheng certainly couldn't say that his fists were the only reason to be right.

Now she understands—

Although many techniques cannot be used due to concerns about "out-of-character" (OOC) content, she still possesses the ability to do so...

It seems like I can already "reason" with many people!
Of course, this only applies to "people".

If it is a supernatural being, because it possesses special abilities and its thought process is abnormal, it is sometimes impossible to subdue it with reason.

However, there are still ways to solve this problem.

"Then... can everything finally end?"

Zhu Lin's voice was as faint as a whisper.

The hidden hope was like a faint candle flame, about to be extinguished with the slightest breath.

"Hmm...it will take a little more time," Liu Sheng replied.

"Anything else to do?"

Zhu Lin's voice carried a hint of urgency.

Liu Sheng spoke up to persuade him:
"Don't be impatient yet."

She gently placed the food box she had been carrying on the table. "I also got you some medicine from the pharmacy. It should help you feel clear-headed and alert. You might want to give it a try."

"Really? Sheng Sheng!"

"Hmm, let's give it a try first."

Zhu Lin's soft laughter echoed in the room. "Sheng Sheng, you studied biology, which is equivalent to studying medicine! I believe you!"

The laughter subsided and gradually faded away.

"You...you're so good to me..."

"I've tried so many methods... I've used everything my mother taught me... but it still doesn't work..."

"Don't overthink it," Liu Sheng interrupted her thoughts. "I've already brewed it for you, or... how about I take it inside for you to drink?"

The last laugh stopped as if a marble had hit a barrier.

"W-what?"

"Oh no! Sheng Sheng! I don't want you to see me like this!"

"It's okay, we've seen it all before."

"Have you forgotten what Tiezhu looks like? And Aunt Qiuju's wound? Didn't Sister Niu next door ask you for help too? She looked... truly astonishing. So no matter what you become, I won't care."

"But...but I'll care!"

The sounds coming from inside the house suddenly became shrill.
His voice, choked with sobs, conveyed a sense of agonizing fear.

Liu Sheng paused for a moment, then softened his tone:
"Okay, I'll leave the medicine by the door. Come and get it yourself."

A cautious voice came from inside:
"Then...you're not allowed to look!"

"Hmm, I won't look."

"You should leave first."

"Row."

Liu Sheng put down the food box in her hand and stepped out the door.

Until the door clicked shut.

"You...really went out?"

A weak voice came through the two doors.

Distant and adrift.

Liu Sheng answered loudly, "Yes, I'm outside."

She was looking at the soft, dim light in the village.

Like a lazy afternoon that never fades away.

After a long while, rustling sounds came from inside.

It was the sound of flesh being dragged along.

The clothes rubbed against the ground as it slowly crawled.

With a creak, the bedroom door opened. After the door closed again, Liu Sheng stepped back into the room.

The food box by the door sat quietly, with only a thin layer of medicine remaining in the white porcelain bowl.

"Is the medicine bitter?" Liu Sheng asked.

"...Thank you, Sheng Sheng."

The sound inside seemed hoarse and tired from all that work, as if it were coming from an old player.

"I'm a little tired... I'm going to sleep now, Sheng Sheng, you don't need to worry about me..."

The voice gradually faded.

Ultimately, it was swallowed by darkness.

Liu Sheng listened quietly for a while before walking step by step toward the door, raising her hand to push it open.

But she paused.

The room was unusually quiet.

Even the breathing inside couldn't be heard.

It seems the people inside aren't asleep...

But -

gone!
Right now!

call out!
A sharp gust of wind swept past my ear.

Liu Sheng tilted her head slightly.

A glint of silver light brushed against her temple.

Puff!
The incredibly sharp blade pierced straight into the door panel in front of him, leaving only the hilt trembling slightly.

This sword hilt is exactly the same as the hilt of the peach wood sword that Zhu Lin used to carry with him.

"So there was a sharpened sword inside," Liu Sheng said calmly. "But Zhu Lin probably didn't know that, did he?"

Turning around, in the shadows of the corner of the room, a figure was hanging upside down, lying prone on the ceiling.

It's Zhu Lin.

Her head hung limply, as if she had fallen into a coma, and a pair of hands reached out from behind and tightly covered her eyes.

It was clearly a human, yet its limbs were bent backwards, its joints were dislocated, and it had six legs, lying there like a spider with its claws outstretched.

It turned out that another body was pressed against Zhu Lin's back.

Long strands of hair fell down, weaving into a huge net in the room.

"Was that some kind of recording in the room just now?" Liu Sheng asked.

"Heh, actually, this wasn't necessary... I never wanted to confront you directly. You forced me to!" The shadow behind Zhu Lin said coldly. "She's really stupid; she didn't even suspect the medicine you gave her."

“Yes…” Liu Sheng said calmly, “Even if you already know it’s not some kind of ‘eye medicine,’ so what? You still can’t dissuade her, can you? Because you don’t want her to know you exist.”

"Hehe, you were right."

"But I thought about it and it's fine this way, anyway I don't want her to get involved."

The hands that had been covering Zhu Lin's eyes slowly lowered, and strands of hair wrapped around Zhu Lin, sewing his eyes shut with the hair, making it impossible for him to see anything.

"I don't want her to see what happens to you either."

What will happen to me?

"You should have guessed it long ago." The shadow's tone suddenly sharpened, laced with malice. "That's why you're so uncooperative! You've never truly immersed yourself in life here!"

Liu Sheng smiled slightly: "You could tell."

“Of course I can see that! But if you think about it carefully—be more compliant, more involved, and Zhu Lin wouldn’t be like this now! Instead, she would have transitioned smoothly…”

Liu Sheng interrupted her: "And then what? I'll become like Zhou Yi? Living in this village oblivious to everything that's happening, turning a blind eye to everything that's wrong?"

"Isn't this good? Everything here is part of a cycle. Although everyone gets sick and dies, when the cycle begins again, everything will be back to normal!"

"This is an immense blessing! Eternal existence! To live consciously is a curse!"

The sound gradually became shrill.

She was smiling, but it looked like she was about to cry.

"No, no."

Liu Sheng kept shaking his head.

He ignored the black hairs that were approaching him.

"Something's wrong!"

"If it were really as good as you say, you wouldn't have gone to such lengths to keep me here, much less try to take my body and replace me to go to Longhu Mountain, would you?"

The room fell silent instantly.

The shadow stood there stunned for a long time before slowly peeking out from behind Zhu Lin.

His face was pale and swollen, and his eyes were filled with resentment and hatred.

It's the face at the bottom of the pond.

However, this time Liu Sheng understood.

It quickly compares with an image in my mind.

He said with a half-smile:
"You've changed quite a bit."

"Zhu Lin's mother."
