Chapter 198 Under the Night
Sunset and moonrise.

A waning moon hung high in the sky, and the stars shone exceptionally bright. Even with all their light shining, the earth remained dark without the moonlight.

Mo Yu stood atop the dilapidated building, looking down at the ruined city.

Unlike the tranquility of the daytime, the city begins to riot after nightfall. Blood-red characters flow continuously, and pollutants hidden in dark corners emerge and walk through this abandoned city.

Various eerie and painful growls and cries echoed throughout the city.

It's like hell.

"Kill me...kill me...please, kill me..."

A muffled, hoarse voice came from behind.

Mo Yu glanced back.

A deformed, 2-meter-tall mass of flesh appeared in the elevator lobby, barely recognizable as a human form.

Half of his face melted and drooped, while the remaining half was twisted, dripping with blood and tears, and extended a huge claw, staggering towards him.

Mo Yu pushed the handle with his thumb.

The Miao sword revealed a glint of light, reflecting a dazzling brilliance in the darkness.

A thousand shadows overlap the waves.

His figure flashed, and the Miao sword was sheathed again.

Puff puff……

The ball of flesh was dismembered by hundreds of blades, turning into a pile of minced meat spread across the ground. Then the corpse turned to ashes and vanished without a trace.

Unable to kill.

There are no kill notifications on the screen.

Mo Yu sighed softly.

He was heartbroken to lose his valuable attribute points and decided to raid the nearby insect nests after leaving the area.

Suddenly, a hysterical scream erupted.

It's right in the stairwell.

Mo Yu turned around to be on guard.

Elise, who was flying in the sky, also landed. She looked scared and snuggled up behind Mo Yu, gently pinching his clothes with her small hands.

The screams quickly subsided.

The same sound came again.

"Kill me...kill me..."

Mo Yu frowned.

The fleshy ball reappeared at the bottom of the stairs.

A thousand shadows overlap the waves.

He struck again, swiftly and cleanly killing him, then quickly walked to the stairwell.

Then, he witnessed a miraculous scene.

Countless particles emerged from the void and quickly formed a middle-aged man dressed in a security guard uniform, standing blankly at the stairwell.

The next second, the man let out a hysterical scream.

His body writhed violently, as if some worms were wriggling inside him. His body mutated, its size began to expand, and within seconds, he transformed from a normal person into a bloated, fleshy monster.

"Owner……"

Elise clutched Mo Yu's clothes tightly.

Mo Yu sighed and said, "Let's go, let's leave this place."

Killing this thing would be a waste of energy, so the two retreated back to the rooftop.

"Let's go down and check it out to verify my guess."

Elizabeth's ribbon flies away.

The two entered the abandoned building.

There are many pollutants lingering here.

Mo Yu made a move and instantly killed the five pollutants.

They turned to ashes and vanished. Then, particles appeared in several areas of the hall and reassembled into normal people, all white-collar workers in suits.

What followed was hysterical screaming as these people rapidly mutated.

The female secretary plunged headfirst into the water dispenser, becoming one with it. Two men in suits were pulled together by a strange force, colliding and their heads burying themselves in each other's buttocks, forming a bizarre ring. Others began to burn, shattering a virtual pane of glass as they ran around; glass shards covered their bodies, and their skin was replaced by transparent glass.

Five animals were born with contaminated weight.

"Come here."

Mo Yu turned around, hugged Iris, and jumped off the rooftop with the vampire girl, disappearing through the window.

This is the process by which pollutants are formed.

They are mutated humans; they can mutate themselves and merge with their surroundings, becoming neither human nor ghost.

After they die, they will be reborn in the place where they mutated, and then experience the pain of mutation again.

This... is an immortal curse.

The two found a quiet rooftop on a building and sat on its edge. Iris whispered, "Master, do you think they... will retain their memories?"

"Probably not. If they knew they wouldn't die, they wouldn't seek death and would be trapped in despair forever, endlessly cycling through despair," Mo Yu replied.

Elise rested her little head on Mo Yu's shoulder, and asked somewhat frightenedly, "What exactly happened here...?"

Mo Yu was deep in thought.

He felt like he had missed something.

"Where are those Void Specters? This is the birthplace of the Corruptions, so where do the Void Specters come from?"

Mo Yu raised a question.

Elise suggested, "Shall we go take a look at the cemetery?"

"Let's go."

The two took off again, their destination the distant cemetery.

Even after dark, the sky over there remained bright, with the light clearly visible.

Mo Yu looked down at the earth.

He doesn't need to use his mind to search; as soon as the Void Specter appears in his field of vision, the panel will immediately give him a notification.

but.

The cemetery was completely silent, except for the sea of ​​dream flowers that radiated a dazzling light.

The two arrived at the edge of the cemetery and hovered in the air.

Mo Yu said, "Not here, let's go somewhere else, over there."

He pointed in a more distant direction.

Elise responded, flapped her bat wings, turned around, and rushed toward the distant place that Mo Yu pointed to.

After flying for a distance, Mo Yu saw the Void Ghost.

At first, there were only a few scattered ones, wandering around the fields, but then their numbers increased.

"Elise, fly towards 10 o'clock."

"it is good."

Mo Yu looked down to observe the density of the Void Ghosts in order to determine their gathering place, and kept rewinding to fine-tune Elise's flight direction.

As the density of the Void Ghosts increased, the area ahead became pitch black.

Something was clearly wrong here. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a black spiral appeared overhead, twisting and spinning, absorbing the faint starlight and plunging the earth into a deathly darkness.

Mo Yu activated night vision.

Elise also possesses night vision.

The two of them were unaffected.

As the skill was activated, Mo Yu's vision brightened again. In such a completely dark place, night vision would only show black and white outlines, allowing him to identify objects, but not to see colors.

The Void Specters emitted a faint glow, densely covering the entire area, both in the sky and on the ground.

These void ghosts are all fusions of the spirit rabbit.

Mo Yu also witnessed a magical scene.

A group of Void Specters surrounded several Corrupted Bodies, constantly extending black spikes and transforming them into claws, tearing them to shreds.

The two sides are not in the same camp.

Mo Yu's gaze fell into the distance, where the outline of a massive building appeared in the darkness.

He saw the high wall.

I saw the watchtower.

That enormous thing looked like a castle.

As they drew closer, Void Specters appeared in the air to block their path. Elise unleashed Crimson Thorns, scattering them before they could get any closer.

She hovered in the air, somewhat frightened, and asked, "Master, should we continue? I feel a chill ahead, it's really unsettling."

"Keep going, don't be afraid, Elise. I'll stop any danger before it happens."

Mo Yu encouraged Elise.

The vampire girl is perfect in every way; lacking normal biological metabolism, she's like a meticulously crafted, large-scale figurine. In terms of strength, as a future emperor, she's incredibly powerful, but her personality... well, she's overly cautious and too timid.

It must have been difficult for Elise to come to such a place filled with unknown fears.

The vampire girl's flight speed decreased, becoming somewhat sluggish, clearly indicating her strong resistance.

Fortunately, the education provided during this period was appropriate.

Elise trusted and relied on his words completely. Although she resisted, she continued forward, then swatted away any approaching Void Specters, preventing them from getting within 50 meters of her.

After floating for a while, the two successfully arrived above the castle.

Looking down.

This was a cluster of buildings surrounded by high city walls. Mo Yu's first thought was that it was a castle. But after walking around for a while, he sensed something was wrong. Some architectural details clearly indicated that it was designed for internal defense but not external defense.

Mo Yu said, "This doesn't look like a castle, it's more like..."

Elise answered quickly: "Prison."
