I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 53 First Encounter with the Spirit Infant
The thought had barely formed when a wave of dizziness washed over me, accompanied by sharp pains.

Previously, when reading Li Hongxi's box, there wasn't such a strong reaction.

It seems there's a significant difference between three black bars and four black bars. The more information you read from the black bars, the greater the mental workload.

Chen Mo gritted his teeth and persevered. After a while, he felt the pain in his head subside, and the subtitles in front of him changed.

This was the first time Chen Mo had read about his own madness, so he was both very nervous and full of curiosity.

Chen Mo had expected the name to be some kind of curse, but the name the reader gave him really startled him.

【Name: A Drop of Cursed Blood】

[Type: Evil Infant Ghost Curse Blood]

[Characteristics: It will devour and absorb evil spirit energy to strengthen its demonic blood. However, it will also gradually devour your life force and soul until it drains you dry.]

[Description: This powerful ghost blood carries the power of demons and evil spirits. If used properly, it can have unexpected effects. However, with each use, the ghost blood will devour you more quickly.]

[Note: Your curse has materialized into ghost blood and is now integrated into your flesh, making it very difficult to remove! Accepting the cursed blood can alleviate the pain and extend your life.]

Perhaps due to the overwhelming power of the Ghost Curse Blood, which was, after all, composed of four black rods, the information gleaned was not as detailed as Li Hongxi's, but it still highlighted all the key points and precautions.

Chen Mo looked at the information on the panel again and again, his whole body sinking down.

It will gradually devour your vital energy and soul until it drains you into a dried-up corpse.

For the past three months, Chen Mo has been working day and night, conducting various research experiments. All of this is in an effort to cure his mental illness and return to a normal life.

And now... his madness has worsened!
The desire to return to being a normal person seems like a mirage, a dream unattainable...

—Your curse has materialized into ghost blood, which has become part of your flesh and blood, making it very difficult to break! Accepting the blood of the cursed ghost can alleviate the pain and extend your life.

It's one thing if the curse can't be lifted, but it also forces me to accept it?
It means being raped and not being allowed to resist?
"I……!"

Even though he had lived two lives and life had worn down his edges, Chen Mo still almost swore at this moment.

Even a clay figure has a touch of fire, and even the Buddha has moments of anger.

Let alone an individual?

After adjusting his mindset, Chen Mo decided to try and see what would happen if he didn't accept the blood of the ghost curse. He then bit down hard on the piece of wood in his mouth and resisted.

"Hey, it hurts!"

Chen Mo soon realized that the golden finger was absolutely right: the more you resist, the greater the pain will be.

At last……

"Forget it, there's no need to suffer like this for nothing..."

When Chen Mo gave up resisting... the pain indeed disappeared, and the abdominal contractions stopped.

everything is normal.

This left Chen Mo speechless.

So you really can't resist?

With the pain gone, Chen Mo began to think about how to resolve the issue.

We can't just wait to be drained of blood by the cursed ghost and turned into a dried-up corpse, can we?
Faced with this incredibly bizarre cursed blood, Chen Mo still felt he needed a cheat code to find a solution.

In terms of the sheer value of this "golden finger" (a term used to describe a powerful, influential figure), the information it provides is beyond question...

and many more……

Chen Mo suddenly realized: the golden finger said it was "difficult to remove".

I can actually accept the blood of the cursed ghost, but what I can't accept is being sucked dry by the blood of the cursed ghost and turned into a dried corpse.

Therefore... it is not necessary to lift the ban.

What about making changes?
Doesn't the cheat system include the ability to modify things? It allows you to modify yourself, your cultivation techniques, and your items...?

What if we modified the Blood of the Demon Curse?
Isn't it easy to handle?

After careful consideration, Chen Mo felt that this method was feasible.

"I'll kill another evil spirit later, get some original essence, and try modifying the Blood of the Demon Curse..."

Thinking about it this way, Chen Mo felt much better.

But I still dare not relax completely.

He recalled the information in Master Xie's booklet, which mentioned the origin of the madness.

Now, upon closer reflection, Chen Mo felt that Xie Sanye's four predictions might actually be correct:

First: The reason why patients with madness go crazy and eat people after the onset of the disease is not the patient's own will, but the will of that baby face.

Second: If a patient's body and mind can fully withstand the intensity of the baby face, the baby face will eventually transform and grow, becoming a real baby within the patient's body, which we can tentatively call a spirit baby ghost fetus.

Third: In some place, there is an infant using madness to select a suitable host. Once a suitable host is found, the madness will disappear, and the true spirit infant will be born. Fourth: The source of the madness is in Li Village, Qinghe Town. Currently, Qinghe Town is sealed off by the Black Mountain Village, and outsiders cannot enter.

Combined with his own demonic curse, it evolved into a physical form of demonic blood.

Chen Mo had a strong intuition that he might have been chosen by that ghost baby.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine, and it took him a while to recover.

Since we can't avoid it, we might as well try to understand it.

"Powerful ghost blood, imbued with the power of demons and evil spirits... if used properly, it can have unexpected effects. Let me see what unexpected effects it might have."

Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the bed and circulated his inner energy.

Lacking true internal martial arts skills, Chen Mo was unable to properly regulate his internal energy. He could only follow the rudimentary methods of the Black Tiger's internal energy and simultaneously open his six senses to carefully perceive the changes in his body.

After a while...

"There were no unexpected results."

Just then, Chen Mo vaguely heard a peculiar crying sound coming from the backyard.

Ok?
I've never heard this sound before.

Chen Mo immediately stood up and listened carefully.

It's a baby crying!

The babbling sounds were quite frightening.

Having adapted to this demonic world for three months, Chen Mo was no longer so afraid. He put on a coat and went out.

Upon arriving at the backyard, they found Ma Tie still practicing his swordplay.

"Young Master, what brings you here so late at night?" Ma Tie was pleasantly surprised.

Chen Mo didn't answer, made a shushing gesture, and then walked step by step toward the room where the woman was being held.

He could sense that the baby's cries were coming from that room.

Upon entering the room, they saw that the woman, having eaten and drunk her fill, was fast asleep on a pile of straw, her body bound by iron chains.

But the baby's cry was so real.

Why couldn't I hear it before?

Could this be the unexpected effect brought about by the ghost blood?

He shook his head, snapping out of his reverie and focusing on the present.

'Could it be that an infant once died in the ground beneath this courtyard? Or was it wrongfully killed, and the infant's vengeful spirit cries incessantly?'

To verify this idea, Chen Mo pulled the sleeping woman up and went to the next room, where he was horrified to find that... the baby's cries were always accompanying the woman.

It is clear that the baby's crying came from the woman.

Could it be... the baby face on her abdomen?

Chen Mo pressed the woman down and then stared at her abdomen.

The square on the baby's face turned into three black bars.

The crying sound came from inside.

Chen Mo called Ma Tie over, "Ma Tie, can you hear a baby crying?"

Ma Tie looked around. "No, young master, you must be hallucinating."

Chen Mo ignored Ma Tie and, as if possessed, reached out his right hand, slowly approaching the baby's face on the woman's abdomen. The instant Chen Mo's hand touched the baby's face—

hum!
Chen Mo's brain was jolted, and his eyes were suddenly filled with the sight of an infant.

The baby was squatting on the ground, wearing a tattered yellow robe, with its back to Chen Mo, crying as it dug something out of the ground with its hands.

Suddenly, the baby seemed to sense someone behind it, abruptly stopping its crying and its digging motion.

Then, little by little, he turned his head and revealed his face.

That face and features were exactly like the birthmark on a baby's face.

It is laughing at itself.

He also said something sinister:

I saw you!

　The second update was at noon, and it still wasn't finished...
