Chapter 194 Approaching the Gods (XVI)
"Priest..." A trace of painful struggle flashed across the old lady's face, "If Gou Wa has already...Priest, please leave him alive..."

But her voice was trembling and she couldn't continue speaking. Tears ran across her face, which was full of fatigue and looked old.

Liu Sheng understood what the old lady was worried about, patted the back of her hand gently, and whispered to comfort her: "Auntie, don't worry, I will do my best."

"Give me the key." Liu Sheng spread out his palm.

Gritting her teeth, the old lady put a key in Liu Sheng's hand.

"Mother Earth is above." Liu Sheng chanted softly.

"Mother Earth is above." Somehow, the old lady couldn't help but recite it along, and it seemed as if she felt more powerful deep in her heart.

Liu Sheng turned towards the closed door, his eyes firm and calm, his face revealing no emotion.

[Yes, that’s the look! ]

[Even if you are panicking, your eyes cannot reveal it. 】

[We are the spokespersons for the Earth Mother. Remember, this situation is commonplace.]

[But, the kids inside are so scary, we are so weak...]

[Not that we are weak, don’t we have “mother”? ]

The little tentacles waved secretly, vowing to protect Liu Sheng.

The key was inserted into the copper lock, turned gently, and with a click, the lock opened.

A strong and strange aura poured out from the open door.

[The monster inside should have reached level B.] The world quickly came to the conclusion.

[Is there any way to recover?] Liu Sheng knew what the old lady really wanted.

It is common sense that once a strange thing is formed, it cannot be reversed.

Transforming from a weird creature back into a normal person is unheard of in the real world.

But in this world made up of data, maybe you can give it a try.

【Let's try it together. The key is to understand what the data structure of the weird things is like. 】

【I see. 】

"Gou Wa, I am the doctor hired by your mother. May I come in?" Liu Sheng's voice penetrated the crack in the door, trying to establish contact with the child in the room.

The room was quiet. After a while of silence, the noisy voice sounded again: "Doctor, can I not take the medicine..."

"You hate taking medicine?"

"Hmm... it's too bitter."

"Okay, then we won't take the medicine."

"Sister Doctor, you didn't lie to me?"

Strangely, as the conversation progressed, the voice, which was sometimes rough and sometimes shrill, gradually became clear, leaving only the original child's voice.

"Well, I won't lie to you." Liu Sheng would of course not lie to him. She couldn't prescribe medicine anyway.

"Then... come in." The child inside said hesitantly.

The old lady stood aside, clasped her hands together, and looked at Liu Sheng with tears in her eyes, with a pleading look on her face.

Liu Sheng nodded and slowly pushed the door open. With a creak, the twisted darkness inside the room came into view.

With the faint light coming through the window paper, Liu Sheng saw a figure with a very large upper body and a thin lower body, curled up on the bed.

"Doctor sister...is my illness serious?" the child asked timidly.

After struggling, he asked again: "Am I... ugly?"

Liu Sheng looked at the heads growing like fruits on the thin shoulders of the child in front of him, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

As if noticing Liu Sheng's hesitation, the heads immediately revealed tearful expressions, with tears filling their eyes.

【Hurry up and comfort the child! 】

[Can he still be called a child? The heads on his shoulders are those of a grandfather, a grandmother, an uncle, and many children.]

[But judging by his speech and expression, his mind seems to still be that of a child, and it is very likely that the real him has not yet been completely corrupted.]

Liu Sheng approached step by step, and the small tentacles quietly extended behind him, preparing for the next battle.

At this time, as Gou Wa's emotions fluctuated, the strange energy began to fluctuate, and the darkness in the room gradually deepened.

A small strange cave formed silently in the room, and the entire distorted space seemed to contain only Liu Sheng and the strange creature in front of him.

Gou Wa didn’t know what was wrong with him, he only knew that he had a contagious rash.

His parents said nothing, but just locked him in this endless darkness.

He couldn't go out to play or see his former playmates.

What's even more distressing is that he doesn't know how long he will be imprisoned.

Whenever he asked his parents, they would always answer him that it would be fine soon, and he would be able to get out if he took the medicine properly. But after hearing them too many times, he stopped believing them.

His heart has gradually become twisted in this suspicion, loneliness and fear...

Anyway, no one cares about him anymore.

Maybe he is too ugly.

Even his parents were unwilling to look at him. They always hurriedly put food and medicine at the door and locked it.

Now, finally a "sister doctor" is willing to come in. She is the first person to really set foot in this room.

But...she seemed to think he was really ugly.

Gou Wa felt bitter in his heart. If that was the case, why should he keep enduring it? Why not...

The evil spirit was surging violently, and the eyes of the heads were tightly closed, revealing expressions of pain. Only one was left, with a timid and sad look on his face.

Suddenly, Gou Wa felt a warmth on his head, a warmth that he had not felt for a long time, a warmth coming from another body.

A soft hand was placed on top of his head.

The eyes on all the heads opened at once, looked towards the hand, and their pupils vibrated at the same time.

"You're not ugly." Liu Sheng comforted.

Tentacles started from her hands and extended along her head to Gou Wa's neck.

"I'll help you adjust it, trust me."

Liu Sheng's voice was firm, gentle, and full of compassion, like a soft and warm hand above his head, brushing across Gou Wa's heart.

"Mother Earth will protect you."

A hint of surprise flashed across Gou Wa's eyes, and then warmth surged in his heart. The haze that had unknowingly spread in his heart showed signs of receding.

It seems that you can try to believe it.

The other heads growing on his shoulders began to calm down one after another. Their originally distorted and painful faces slowly turned into peace, and their eyes slowly closed again.

At the same time, the small tentacles drilled into Gou Wa's body from the neck, slowly penetrating into this chaotic and complicated soul.

From Liu Sheng's perspective, he could only see layers of flesh and blood.

So she needs the help of the world.

[Title: One Hundred Poems (Unfinished)]

[Analysis completion: 100%]

[Effect description: "I want more heads, so that it looks good." Based on this belief, you need to keep devouring to collect new heads as decorations. ]

[Influence level: B]

[Analysis and evaluation: Due to the forced intervention of a pair of parents, the journey of becoming beautiful was temporarily interrupted. ]

【Did you see it?】 Liu Sheng asked the world.

[I see. As expected, the data of B-level monsters has become very complicated.]

[Is his data still complete? ]

What Liu Sheng meant was whether Gou Wa’s true self had not been eroded yet.

[Complete, but unfortunately, it has been infected. ]

[Can we still separate? ] Liu Sheng asked with concern.

According to the world, in this illusion composed of data, the so-called "weirdness" is just a virus-like program.

Similar to "faith".

If so, can they be separated, that is, "killed"?

[Separation is only a partial solution, his data is already flawed.] The world said.

Liu Sheng understood that the world referred to the indelible fact that Gou Wa had become a monster and killed many people.

[But, he didn't intentionally become a weirdo. ]

[If you didn't intend to harm someone, but killed them, is this forgivable or unforgivable according to human moral standards? ]

Liu Sheng couldn't answer this very philosophical question. The world was not human and couldn't answer it either.

[I only know that, according to the deduction, he would commit suicide because of his twisted mentality and inability to forgive himself.]

[What should we do? ]

[Need to reset. 】

[Reset? Can it really be done? ]

[In this world's rules, you have already obtained the method of resetting. ]

Liu Sheng took out the small bottle of holy water from the bag, thoughtfully.
