Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

Upon hearing Su Lingbai's words, Xu Wan subconsciously looked down at the doll in her hand and froze.

A portrait of the deceased?

But she looked at it over and over again, and what she was holding was clearly a tattered rabbit doll, which had absolutely nothing to do with the portrait.

Eh?

wrong……

Xu Wan's pupils suddenly contracted, and she finally realized that something was wrong.

The old rabbit doll in her palm was twisting itself in a strange way.

Like a drop of clear water splashed into a calm lake, the outline of the doll rippled outwards in circles of tiny, strange waves.

The originally dirty brown downy fur faded to a deathly gray-white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The soft, fluffy fur, which was originally warm, instantly became stiff, icy, and bone-chilling.

The sensation was exactly the same as pressing down on a cold glass picture frame with your bare hand.

Xu Wan stared intently at the object in her hand, motionless, completely lost in thought, as if her soul had been ripped from her body.

Su Lingbai glanced back and forth at the dazed Xu Wan and the strange object in her hand, her gaze finally settling on the gray portrait.

The picture frame shows a young woman.

Her long, smooth, black hair cascaded over her shoulders; her eyes were bright and clear; her smile was gentle; and her expression was full of tenderness.

He looks to be in his early twenties; you could easily believe he's a college student.

Such a person in the prime of life, in the end, turned into a cold and lifeless portrait.

Su Lingbai didn't care who this woman was or how beautiful she was.

She only caught one chilling detail—

The woman in the portrait bore a striking resemblance to Xu Wan, almost identical, with seven or eight points of similarity. They were practically identical, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were sisters.

even……

Su Lingbai raised her eyes, looked at Xu Wan who was still in a daze, and slowly spoke.

"Xu Wan, the people up there—"

"It's your mother, isn't it?"

The moment the words left his mouth, the whole world came to a complete standstill.

The wind suddenly stopped, and all things fell silent.

The vehicles running on the street, the pedestrians crossing the street, and the birds flying in the sky all froze in place, completely still.

In this dream world dominated by Xu Wan's consciousness, only Su Lingbai is free to move around.

Xu Wan herself stood frozen in place, like a cold sculpture, completely still.

Time passed slowly, second by second, and a deathly silence enveloped the entire world.

After an unknown amount of time, a soft murmur, filled with confusion and deep doubt, broke the stillness of the world.

"……Mother?"

As the sound rang out, a sense of fluidity returned to the world.

The sounds of wind, cars, and people returned, and everything that had been frozen in time resumed its normal operation.

Xu Wan stared intently at the fully formed portrait in her hand, her mind a complete mess.

The face in the photo was so unfamiliar that it made her uneasy, yet deep down, she felt a faint sense of familiarity.

"Mommy...Mommy..."

She unconsciously kept repeating those two words.

Deep within my mind, in a long-sealed area of ​​memory, something seemed to have cracked open, and something... was surging wildly outwards through the crack.

"ah--!!!"

The heavy portrait slipped from her limp hands and fell to the ground.

Xu Wan clutched her head tightly with both hands, screaming wildly as excruciating pain instantly overwhelmed her consciousness.

"My head hurts so much! My head feels like it's going to explode!!!"

A sharp pain swept through her entire body, and she uncontrollably pounded her temples with both hands, again and again, trying to relieve the tearing pain in her mind.

But it was completely useless.

The extreme pain caused her to lose control, and she dug her fingertips into her scalp.

Sharp fingernails dug deep into the flesh, and warm blood dripped continuously from between the fingers, hitting the ground with a crisp thud.

The pain not only did not lessen, but became even more intense.

Xu Wan's features were contorted in pain, her entire face scrunched up, looking ferocious and terrifying.

"pain!"

"It hurts so much!"

Pinching her scalp didn't work, so she started frantically tearing at her hair.

He grabbed a strand of hair from the top of his head and pulled it hard with all his might.

Sizzle—!

A piercing sound of flesh tearing rang out.

Large clumps of hair, along with bloody patches of scalp, were ripped off by her.

She flung her bloody scalp and hair to the ground, but the excruciating pain that penetrated to the bone marrow still did not subside.

"It hurts...it still hurts..."

"Something's coming out of my head! Something's going to take my place!!!"

Xu Wan screamed almost in despair, her eyes filled with fear and madness.

Su Lingbai, who was standing to the side, witnessed this bloody and frenzied scene. His expression turned completely somber, and his heart became extremely heavy.

"Divine purification!"

A dazzling and pure divine purifying power erupted from Su Lingbai's body, transforming into a surging stream of light that swept towards Xu Wan.

But as soon as all the power approached Xu Wan, it vanished instantly, without even causing a ripple.

This dream world is controlled by Xu Wan; she is its master.

Without her consent, no external force can penetrate her body.

"Xu Wan! Don't resist! I'm saving you!" Su Lingbai shouted anxiously.

"It's not that I'm resisting!"

Xu Wan trembled all over in pain, her voice broken and hoarse.

"It's something in my head controlling me! It's really about to come out!!!"

"Quickly grab the blue light in your consciousness! Leave this dream immediately!" Su Lingbai shouted desperately.

"I can't do it! I can't control my body!!!"

As Xu Wan screamed in despair, she continued to frantically tear at her hair, ripping off chunks of scalp one after another.

Her features were completely distorted and deformed, her face was covered in blood, and her original appearance was no longer recognizable.

Crimson blood flowed down his cheeks, staining his neck and clothes red.

The voices, a mixture of blood and tears, concealed the utmost terror and despair.

"Su Lingbai! Run! Get out of here right now!"

"That thing is about to come out!"

"You'd better run! You're no match for it!!!"

"What on earth is that?!"

Su Lingbai refused to give up, continuously channeling her magic power. The purifying force surged towards Xu Wan like a raging wave, but all her efforts were in vain.

"I...I don't know!!!"

Xu Wan's voice grew increasingly eerie, her shrill roars now tinged with a chilling mockery.

She had torn off all the hair and scalp from the top of his head, revealing his bloody skull.

She didn't stop; she dug her fingers into her own face and squeezed hard.

The fingernails tore through the skin, and the entire face was peeled off, revealing the bright red flesh and blood underneath.

In her excruciating pain, she began to ramble incoherently, spewing out bizarre and obscure words.

"South Heavenly Gate!"

"Baiyujing!"

"Ascend to immortality!"

"Immortal and indestructible! Ineffable!"

"Blind folly! Above the ritual!"

"The source of the mystery! The river of time! The supreme Dao!"

"I saw it all!!!"

Looking at Xu Wan, who had completely gone mad, Su Lingbai's heart tightened suddenly.

Then, an extreme sense of crisis swept over her, instantly immobilizing her.

She finally realized that what Xu Wan said was true.

An incredibly terrifying and unknowable being is about to break free from the depths of Xu Wan's mind.

At this moment, Xu Wan had begun to frantically tear and peel off her skin, pieces of flesh falling off, a shocking sight.

Su Lingbai knew that she had no way to intervene or help Xu Wan in this dream world.

She immediately tried to break free from the dream, wanting to return to the real world and perform the purification in the real world.

No matter how much power Su Lingbai tried to unleash, her body remained firmly imprisoned in place.

An invisible, cold, and domineering eerie force completely separated dreams from reality.

This space is locked.

She can't get out.

"This is a huge problem..."

Su Lingbai was at a loss.

They couldn't save anyone, and they couldn't leave either.

He could only watch helplessly as Xu Wan peeled away his flesh and blood bit by bit, turning him into a hideous and terrifying blood-soaked figure.

Blood was everywhere, staining the entire ground red.

Just then, Xu Wan, covered in blood, suddenly looked up, gripped her skull tightly with both hands, and stiffly turned her neck to look at Su Lingbai.

"Su Lingbai!"

"What's wrong?!" Su Lingbai immediately responded, her heart leaping into her throat.

Even though Xu Wan had no face or features at that moment, Su Lingbai could clearly sense that she was showing an extremely eerie smile.

A cold, hoarse, frenzied voice, filled with endless bitterness, slowly emanated from the mangled flesh.

"it--"

"They're out."

next second!

The grotesque, fleshy humanoid figure suddenly exerted its strength, tearing its arms violently to the sides!

Sizzle—!

His body was forcibly torn in half from the middle!

Overwhelming darkness, evil, and eeriness instantly swept across the entire dream world!
