Doomsday Jigsaw Puzzle

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Transforming into Evil Fallen Again

After entering the third floor of the office building, those black veins became even more massive, and as the blood flowed within them, it seemed as if countless pythons were intertwined, writhing and crawling.

It was not only these tentacle-like black veins that grew but also the eyes on them, which were larger than before.

However, these eyes were not very agile. Bai Wu noticed that their gaze was scattered, as if they were in some sort of transformative process.

This process required a long time for the eyes to react to prey entering their range, but by the time Leviathan’s Eye was ready to take the life essence of its prey, Bai Wu had already evaded it.

"These eyes seem much more dangerous than the ones below," Jiang Yimi said.

"Yes, based on the information from the third floor, they’ve entered a transformative state. They are clumsy at this time, but they possess certain lethality."

"Shall we go directly to the fourth floor?"

"Yes, although the third floor seems to be hiding many secrets, our goal is to only kill the principal. Maybe at another time, once all enemies are dealt with, I can slowly go through the story. But now, I just want to quickly collect all the puzzle pieces."

Jiang Yimi did not understand Bai Wu’s excitement.

The campus is a complete area, from the blue to the purple and even to the red zones. freewebnovёl.ƈom

It’s like another area outside Baichuan City, with a circus, amusement park, zoo, haunted house.

These zones are also a whole.

Bai Wu currently held several fragments, but none formed a complete picture. Now was his first chance to possibly collect all the patterns of a single area.

He had gradually figured out the rules of the entire Doomsday game.

The teachers with Peeping Eye might have foreseen some brutal future related to High Tower, and before it came to pass, humanity should collect enough complete Doomsday Puzzle fragments of an area.

In doing so, a refuge could be established.

Then, by continuously collecting Doomsday Puzzle fragments, the scale of the refuge could grow larger and larger.

This time, it was very likely the first time to collect all four pieces of a puzzle from a single area. It was also the first time in human history to collect all the pieces of a single area.

Bai Wu arrived on the fourth floor.

The first three floors at least had visible office doors, but the fourth was completely covered by black veins.

This scene was eerily similar to what he saw when he traveled to the heart of Jing Si, where all scenes were covered with black lines.

But here, it looked even more disgusting and eerie.

Because many huge eyes sealed off each area, Bai Wu and Jiang Yimi hid in the corner of the staircase landing. The moment they stood up, they would enter the range of sight of Leviathan’s Eye.

The dangerous nature of a perfect-level Mutation Entry made Bai Wu cautious not to rush in.

"It seems like we can’t get out... These eyes can move, as if they know we have arrived."

"They must have known we entered this area right from the start."

"What should we do then? We can’t force the doors open."

Bai Wu smiled mysteriously and said:

"Indeed, we can’t open the doors, but we can use bait to make them open the doors themselves."

"How... how do we bait them?" Jiang Yimi asked, puzzled.

"I have my ways. By the way, in the past seven hundred years, have you had any outbreaks of your fusion disease?"

Bai Wu was already concocting a battle plan.

Jiang Yimi shook her head and said:

"No, it hasn’t happened... It seems related to my emotions, only when I feel very distressed, do I sense the Power of Calamity going out of control."

Calamity was the ominous substance that clung to Jiang Yimi’s side.

Though not as powerful as Equality of All Beings, under Jiang Yimi’s will, this black substance had now been compressed to the extreme.

Bai Wu, like a true Masked Strange Person, earnestly instructed Jiang Yimi:

"You have a Semi-Evil Fallen physique. In my homeland, the hybrids in various myths were often more fearsome than the purebreds. You’re the same. You have the perfect physique that all Evil Fallen yearn for, and your base strength is at level nine mutation. This means you possess strength that is not at all inferior to that of the principal."

"What should I do?"

"The battle will begin soon. The reason I’m not exploring the third level is that I’m confident I can draw all of them out. At that moment, I need you to do everything you can to shroud all of the eyes in misfortune."

Hearing Bai Wu’s words, Jiang Yimi envisioned the battle scenario in her mind.

It was as if Bai Wu held a switch in his hand, and by pressing it, the battle would suddenly erupt.

At that moment, she needed to unleash the Power of Calamity, using the properties of the black substance to block all of Leviathan’s Eyes.

After a brief pause, Jiang Yimi nodded:

"I can, I can do it."

"Mm, just stay calm because no one can hurt you. You are the strongest in this area. Our goal is to block their escape routes with your misfortune when they have no time to react and then kill them efficiently."

"Okay!" Jiang Yimi’s eyes became fierce.

Although the "Masked Strange Person" had revived after seven hundred years, she constantly thought about settling the scores from these past seven centuries with the principal.

"So get ready, they are about to come out. You will face a lot of interference momentarily, but no matter what I do, no matter what happens, remember to just do your job. You’re a Semi-Evil Fallen, your rationality is stronger than any Evil Fallen, you must restrain yourself and act according to the plan."

Jiang Yimi didn’t know what Bai Wu was going to do, only seeing him take a bottle filled with black liquid out of his backpack.

Unsure of the bottle’s purpose, she watched Bai Wu in confusion, but the next second, her eyes suddenly lost focus.

The moment Bai Wu opened the bottle, Jiang Yimi felt as though she was struck by a violent blow, a certain craving suddenly surged within her.

She suddenly wanted to snatch the bottle from Bai Wu’s hands, and even thoughts that should not have emerged appeared in her mind.

At that instant, not only did Jiang Yimi feel it, but Bai Wu saw the blood flowing through the black veins begin to speed up suddenly.

It was as if the entire building had become a living creature, in a state of high excitement.

Bai Wu had already anticipated the temptation of the "Well Water," Prayle’s Eye had mentioned its lethal allure, and now he realized that description was no exaggeration.

Had Jiang Yimi not possessed human rationality, she might have already attacked Bai Wu by now.

She was like a wolf that hadn’t eaten in a long time, suddenly smelling fragrant food. Or like someone about to die of thirst in the desert, seeing a lake.

Jiang Yimi forcefully suppressed the impulses inside her, thinking of the myriad grudges she held against the principal.

For seven hundred years, she had lived under the names "curse," "jinx," "monster," suffering immense guilt and pain every day and night.

Recalling the sorrow and grievances deep in her heart, and the despair and rage she felt at the Masked Strange Person’s tragic death, her mind sobered up considerably. At this moment, Jiang Yimi sensed many Evil Fallen rushing out from the rooms on the floor.

Well Water carries a scent, and the spread of the scent takes time, but the principal and Jiang Yimi were definitely the first to sense it.

Bai Wu had taken all of this into account; the timing was enough for Jiang Yimi to suppress her desire, and sufficient for these black veins to relay some fatally tempting feedback to the principal.

The blood in the veins seemed as if it would burst out at any moment.

Feeling the lethal temptation of the Well Water, Jiang Yimi’s eyes turned completely black.

"What... what is this? Why do I so badly want to snatch it away?"

"Stay in control. Remember, you possess the power of Evil Fallen, but you are human."

Jiang Yimi nodded with difficulty. Maintaining clarity was not easy. With the centuries-old hatred for the principal, she could gain brief moments of lucidity, but if the principal and others didn’t show themselves soon enough, staying near the Well Water was a massive test for her.

As for Bai Wu, he was quite composed and had high hopes for Jiang Yimi, since if the first wave of temptation was suppressed, with his help, it would get easier afterward.

Jiang Yimi indeed restrained herself.

But after a slight struggle, the other Evil Fallen couldn’t resist and ran out.

After sensing an extremely evil presence, the pitch-black in Jiang Yimi’s eyes faded somewhat, but the black substance behind her violently lashed out.

This girl, who supposedly couldn’t fight, still didn’t know how, but she understood how to destroy her opponents.

The black misfortune spread like dust exploding after extreme compression, sweeping through in an instant.

Bai Wu had originally intended for Jiang Yimi to block all of the eyes, leaving the beheading and the defeat of the principal to him.

But Jiang Yimi apparently misunderstood the word "block," possibly because only sheer hysteria and exerting all her strength could suppress her craving for the Well Water. Her "block" swept through the entire school building.

At the same moment, all of the black blood vessels began to swell, and the space in the stairwell shared by Bai Wu and Jiang Yimi was rapidly compressed.

"One, two, three, four... seven! Ah ha, the masterpiece of the little swindler has, over these seven hundred years, undergone transformations by some mediocre doctor and has merged into a new Fragment Guardian. We may as well call it the weakened Leviathan!"

Ninth level mutation, rare Mutation Entry: limb regeneration, Stitched. Perfect level Mutation Entry: Leviathan’s Eye, Brute Strength, sickly hatching.

If given another fifty years, the sickly hatching would allow it to grow full of Leviathan’s Eyes, and by then it would be capable of devouring the entire school.

Ho ho ho ho ho, heh heh heh heh heh, but sadly, the fate of not achieving its desire will not let it go unless you plan to let it go?"

A gigantic blue hand stretched out from a room on the fourth floor, and at the same time, Jiang Yimi, as if she had predicted her opponent’s move, created several similar arms through Grudge Manifestation.

Bai Wu screwed the lid back on and, without hesitation, put on the wristwatch.

In absolute darkness, Bai Wu said:

"Use Grudge Manifestation to seal all the ways back, give me four seconds."

"Three seconds."

The silver hair began to grow wildly, the tattered bone wings sprouted again, and in the cramped space, the black blood vessels were trying hard to obstruct a monster that was taking birth from spreading its wings.

"Two seconds."

As a wave of air, sharp as a blade, blew past, in the stairwell the Bone Demon finally spread its wings, shielding a girl with its body.

"One second."

In the darkness, the countless eyes on the blood vessels all opened at once, only to be obscured by the substance of calamity. Their pupils moved around, but they could see nothing.

But on another white bone body, numerous eyes also opened up.

"Done."

Jiang Yimi looked in shock at Bai Wu, who had become much more burly and covered with bone and Xie Mo Corner.

The surrounding black blood vessels were all punctured by white bones, and before the stinky black blood could corrupt them, Bai Wu already picked up Jiang Yimi and charged towards the gigantic blue hand.

He used the bone wings as a shield in front of him, and his legs suddenly exerted force. Because the scenery could not be destroyed, the stairwell, although very narrow, could withstand the tremendous force.

In this instant, Bai Wu held Jiang Yimi with one hand, while the other hand seemed to hold up a shield.

He charged towards the blue giant hand with the force of thunder, while Jiang Yimi, relying on Grudge Manifestation, replicated two black giant hands that pulled from both sides.

The two didn’t speak, each just thinking about protecting the other, and they managed to execute a perfect coordination.

Under Bai Wu’s charge, the blue hand developed a crack, and this crack widened as it was pulled apart by the black giant hands on both sides.

After a mere second, Bai Wu, holding Jiang Yimi, burst out of the stairwell!

Dozens of mature Leviathan’s Eyes should have sucked the life out of them in that instant, but the black substance that swept the entire building plunged everything into darkness.

The spiritual power of the principal and others was being devoured madly, and it let out an angry cry.

It was like a rat, lured out of its hole by food, trying to scurry back when it realized a trap lay next to the bait, only to find the exit sealed off.

In the darkness, all the eyes could no longer see the scenes before them, and they were furious, attacking their surroundings frantically.

For seven hundred years, in order to retake the school and under the doctor’s modifications, it had gained countless eyes, hiding nothing from any opponent. It only needed to endure a little longer to regain control over the school once more.

But this scene was so similar to that of seven hundred years ago!

Seven hundred years ago, that man who constantly thwarted it had completely sealed its Leviathan’s Eyes, rendering them useless.

Seven hundred years later, under the girl’s towering resentment and the covering of calamity, all the eyes could not see a single speck of light.

"Why! We have been at peace for seven hundred years! Why do you choose now to confront me?"

"At peace? For seven hundred years, under your lies, I am a curse bearer, a person of ill omen; wherever I go, countless people will die of calamity, and those whom I love or who love me are bound to die because of the curse."

In the midst of endless calamity, Jiang Yimi’s voice became cold and harsh:

"If I am a curse bearer, then you are the person in this world I most want to curse! I curse you to never turn over in hell for eternity!"

At that moment, the principal tried to command the countless black blood vessels with his voice to attack Jiang Yimi.

But what it didn’t know was that standing in front of Jiang Yimi was an Evil Fallen even more powerful than itself.

Bone armor paired with Xie Mo Corner, Bai Wu used a shield formed from his own body, both sturdy and sharp.

Those blood vessels couldn’t harm him in the slightest, let alone injure Jiang Yimi whom he was protecting.

After witnessing Jiang Yimi’s monstrous strength, Bai Wu immediately changed his plan and, like Jiang Yimi’s Guardian, firmly protected her.

What pleasantly surprised Bai Wu was... his previous guess was correct, the Mutation Entry he had acquired from the casino was still there!

What he had lost was merely the Sequence and power of the original Vanguard Group members, but even if he wasn’t as overpowering as in the casino, with the enhancement of various entries, Bai Wu had become a monster with powers beyond the scope for Baichuan Middle School.

The moment he learned of the fusion of the seven disciples, he was determined not to let them go.

Collecting all four fragments was of paramount importance to Bai Wu, and he would not allow any mistakes.

So without any hesitation, Bai Wu used one of his last resorts again.

Temporary Save Device, with only two uses left. Bai Wu wouldn’t mind as long as he could purify Baichuan Middle School.

"Ready to face judgment?"

"Who are you?"

"I am an old friend of yours, you don’t think that you killed me seven hundred years ago, do you?"

The voice from the darkness sent shivers down the principal’s spine.

"Impossible... The doctor clearly said you were indeed dead!"

"Death is only the beginning of the next journey."

Bai Wu raised a hand, not knowing where the principal was in the darkness, but as long as the principal didn’t hide inside the scenery, he was confident he could kill the principal.

At the casino, because of the overwhelmingly powerful force, he didn’t need to use those entries, but now it was time to test the power of some entries.

Heartfire, Spear of Extreme Cold, Chaos Devouring, Waves of the Nether Sea...

Although he didn’t have Spiral Bone Spur, Oblivion Parasite, and Bizarre Invasion, those trump cards in the hands of the God of Wealth, the powerful elemental force was enough for Bai Wu to end this battle.

The icy waters of the Nether River seemed to be pouring down from the galaxy!

In the darkness, countless Evil Fallen let out painful screams, an eye for an eye, and the principal’s Leviathan’s Eye, which could devour life by gazing at his opponent, while the water symbolizing death of the Nether River could also take the life of the opponent in the process of sweeping them away.

The huge eye was the principal’s real body, although it had powerful destructive capabilities, and over seven hundred years, the proliferating increased this destructiveness manifold, but the real body moved slowly, which was its greatest weakness.

After feeling the terror of the waters of the Nether River, it ignored the other Evil Fallen, trying desperately to escape the office building area.

But it was no use, Jiang Yimi’s spiritual power, though not as good as Hong Yin’s, was enough to easily lock down the principal!

She vented all her resentment and sorrow.

No matter where the principal’s huge body went, no matter how those numerous eyes changed as they moved.

The darkness always followed like a shadow! There was not a glimmer of light in any of the principal’s eyes.

The endless darkness it experienced... was like an epitome of what the girl had gone through in her heart for seven hundred years.

Without any expectation, Bai Wu didn’t even want to obtain any information through the disciples; his thoughts were completely in sync with Jiang Yimi’s.

They had only one goal, to have this monster die a thorough death.

"Spare me! Spare me!"

"Save me... my lord!"

Bai Wu and Jiang Yimi would not forgive it, nor would anyone come to save it.

Under the tearing of the Power of Calamity, under the erosion of the waters of the Nether River, the countless black, tentacle-like blood vessels stopped moving, and numerous crimson eyes slowly closed.

Only the eye representing the real body was filled with terror and unwillingness, still trying to flee from calamity.

This process lasted for a few minutes, and finally—

The huge body, cornered by calamity, finally stopped moving; the most vile monster of the school, in a pain devoid of any light, slowly died.
