"The food in the villa is running out; we must go out and take a look."However, staying within the villa would only result in depletion of resources sooner or later. The Manor Lord spoke gravely, making the decision to select a group to venture out and assess the situation.
"Changkong, you come as well," the Manor Lord turned to Su Changkong.
"Yes."
Although Su Changkong instinctively felt that the mist was dangerous and should not be approached, he understood they must venture out to explore. Otherwise, the hundreds of people inside the villa would eventually be trapped and perish. He could only nod in agreement.
Including Su Changkong, the Manor Lord selected the robust men from the villa; a group of ten left the Bronze Villa under the watchful eyes of the young and old, heading towards the dark mist.
Upon contact with the black mist, Su Changkong felt a sense of disgust and repulsion, naturally repelling it.
"Where is everyone?"
What shocked Su Changkong more was that upon entering the black mist, he discovered that the Manor Lord, Zhang Tie, and others had vanished without a trace.
"Manor Lord, Zhang Tie!"
Su Changkong thought they had gotten separated; he called out, hoping they could hear him.
But his voice echoed emptily, and no one responded. In this black mist where he could barely see his hand in front of him, Su Changkong could only grope around, trying to find his way.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, Su Changkong’s ears twitched, hearing the sound of tree branches breaking, caused by footsteps on dry branches and leaves.
"Who?" This made Su Changkong’s gaze shift instantly, his hand on the hilt of his blade at his waist, looking towards the darkness not far away where a blurry shadow was slowly approaching.
"Zhou Pengfei?"
The blurry figure did not speak, drawing closer at an unhurried pace, and when ten steps away, Su Changkong finally saw the face clearly. He was somewhat astonished to recognize the person emerging from the mist as none other than Zhou Pengfei, who had died by his blade!
Zhou Pengfei gave him a mocking smile, "Su Changkong, you didn’t actually think you could kill me, did you?"
Su Changkong’s gaze turned icy. Despite the eerie scene before him, he knew the Zhou Pengfei before him was a foe, not a friend, and without hesitation drew his blade and struck.
"Thud!"
In a flash of the blade, Zhou Pengfei’s head was sent flying, instantly killed!
"Huh?"
But what astonished Su Changkong was that the severed head that fell to the ground still wore Zhou Pengfei’s smiling face as before.
Whoosh!
A thread extended from the fallen head, pulling Zhou Pengfei’s head swiftly back to his neck, and then it healed, leaving no scar behind.
"Demon… Monster?"
The term popped into Su Changkong’s mind, though he didn’t know why he was aware of it.
"Sss Sss Sss!"
Su Changkong successively sliced, chopping the grinning Zhou Pengfei into pieces, but it was all in vain. In this black mist, Zhou Pengfei possessed an Immortal Body; no matter how many times Su Changkong cut or chopped him, he would heal as before.
"Let’s… go back!"
Feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, Su Changkong no longer tangled with Zhou Pengfei but quickly retraced his steps back to the Bronze Villa.
"You… can’t escape!"
A sinister laugh came from behind, but Su Changkong turned a deaf ear.
Ahead, the gates of the Bronze Villa appeared before him; Su Changkong rushed inside and closed the gate.
"Manor Lord, Zhang Tie… you’re all right? That’s great!"
What relieved Su Changkong was that the previously missing Manor Lord and others had already made it back to the Bronze Villa before him.
But what astonished Su Changkong was the despair etched on everyone’s face.
"I…I saw it, the outside world has been destroyed. Demon Monsters… they are everywhere!"
Zhang Tie said, his face pale.
A sinking feeling hit Su Changkong’s heart. Under the envelopment of that black mist, it seemed everything and everyone had been corrupted, transformed into Demon Monsters.
"We… we should go out as well, then, there’s a chance to live. Hiding here brings us only a certain death."
Zhang Tie whispered, feeling it might be survivable to become one among them.
"That’s impossible. Turning into such monsters, how is that different from being dead!" Su Changkong immediately rejected the idea.
But as Zhang Tie said, hiding in the villa meant a certain death; with over a hundred people, food quickly ran out, leaving everyone starving and dizzy.
"I… would rather turn into a monster than starve to death!"
Under the despair brought by the waiting death, someone couldn’t take it anymore. Ignoring restraint, they opened the gates of the Bronze Villa and dashed into the darkness, vanishing without a trace.
Despair is contagious. Following the first person who disregarded restraint, leaving the Bronze Villa and entering the black mist, soon a second and third person followed.
Watching people he knew in the villa disappear one by one, Su Changkong felt inexplicably troubled.
"Brother Su... let’s leave together. Even as Demon Monsters, we can still live together, just like before," Yan Yan, who was extremely close to Su Changkong, pleaded with him.
"Yeah... this world is already full of Demon Monsters. To them, we are the anomaly. Joining them, what’s so bad about that?"
Zhang Tie also comforted Su Changkong.
Looking at those pleading eyes, Su Changkong’s heart softened. Indeed, if everyone in the world had turned into Demon Monsters, including his friends and brothers, why should he continue resisting? Starting a new life with them might not be such a bad choice.
