Throwing a steel coil at supersonic speed with one hand, you let me travel through the heavens!

Wei Qingzhou replied, "My DIY star projector is made by using a plastic sheet to form a sphere, and then using a hot needle to poke tiny holes in it to simulate a galaxy. I then use a light to project the light onto the roof."

Yang Xi carefully examined the somewhat rudimentary star projector, chuckled, and said, "Is this what they call the romance of science students online?"

Wei Qingzhou shrugged: "It's a pity that what I made myself is crude and not as nice as the finished products sold online."

"It's already very good-looking."

"I was truly amazed."

As Yang Xi spoke, she sat down next to the giant long-legged bear plushie, patted its leg, and smiled, "Iceberg, watch the stars with me for a while."

Wei Qingzhou hesitated for a moment.

He had planned to continue leveling up his mental attributes tonight.

but……

It doesn't seem like a big deal if I don't browse the internet for one night.

"it is good."

Wei Qingzhou walked over and sat down next to the long-legged bear.

"Why are you sitting so far away? Are you afraid I'll eat you?"

Yang Xi raised his hands, spread his fingers, and made a threatening gesture at Wei Qingzhou, while also making a "woof" sound.

"..."

The boy moved closer to the girl.

The long-legged bear's body tilted to the side.

Then, he felt a pair of cool, slender arms wrap around his arms and gently hug his arm.

Yang Xi rested her head on his shoulder and said softly, "I'm a little sleepy, can I borrow your arm?"

"..."

Wei Qingzhou's body stiffened slightly.

His left hand was completely held in the girl's arms, and through the thin fabric, he could clearly feel the touch of her youthful body.

There was also a faint scent of gardenias lingering around my nose.

Wei Qingzhou recalled the novels he used to read, which often described the fragrance of virgins. He thought this was mostly the author's imagination, but now, he could indeed smell a very pleasant fragrance.

"It must be the smell of shampoo."

The boy gazed up at the "starry sky," pondered silently, and then whispered, "Okay."

The girl did not respond.

She had fallen asleep, her breathing gradually becoming even and long, her brows slowly relaxing, and a faint smile playing on her lips.

This was the most peaceful sleep she had ever had since the apocalypse.

……

……

Bacheng University Town.

A pinkish-white drill flagellate emerged from beneath the cracked cement floor, its long, thin flagella flailing wildly, before it swiftly climbed up the outer wall of the teaching building like a centipede.

After it climbed over the wire mesh railing of the rooftop, it was caught steadily by a clean, white hand.

The owner of the hand was a beautiful young girl with delicate features, pale skin, and countless fine hairs.

The drill flagellate crawled up her palm, down her arm, up her shoulder, and finally stopped next to her earlobe, where it burrowed into her ear canal.

The girl closed her eyes, as if listening to something.

A few seconds later.

A playful smile curved her lips, and she let out a soft "Eh."

"The leader of the Steel Coil Cult... So there really is such a person. I thought it was just something the Holy Maiden made up to deceive people."

The girl suddenly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were completely different from human eyes; they had no whites or pupils and were composed entirely of countless tiny, regularly spaced "honeycombs".

Just like the compound eyes of insects!

"Interesting. I wonder if this cult leader is a real human, or a demon disguised as a human?"

"If he's just a high school graduate like he looks, then he's nothing to worry about, don't you think, my good kids?"

She walked lightly to the edge of the rooftop and looked down.

The scene below the teaching building was terrifying enough to instantly deplete anyone's sanity.

A dozen or so enormous evil spirits were seen crawling around the building, quiet and obedient, like a pack of tamed giant hunting dogs.

Among these evil spirits was a giant bear with rotting wings. The wings had no feathers and were made up of tightly pieced-together human hands. The skin of the hands was ulcerated, and some exposed flesh and bones, making it look extremely bizarre and creepy.

There is a lion with nine human heads on its head, and there are men, women, young and old. The nine heads turn at the same time, looking towards the eight directions and six realms.

There was also a silverback gorilla that was ten meters tall, with eight thick arms growing out of its body, which was quite different from the eight-armed Vajra in fantasy novels.

Further away, hundreds of mutated humans were gathered on the playground. Some of them had grown extra limbs, some were covered with eyeball-shaped growths, and some had half of their faces still human-shaped while the other half had collapsed into a mass of octopus-like tentacles.

Surprising!

terror!

evil!

Besides these, no other words could be found to describe the scene before my eyes.

"Mmm~ Hey yo oh~~"

The girl hummed a song, took a step, and began to fall freely from the rooftop. Just as she was about to be smashed into a pile of flesh, a huge ape hand caught her and gently placed her on its shoulder.

The girl, barefoot, stepped on rough ape fur, spread her arms, and looked up at the sky, where a chasm stretched across the black curtain of the night sky.

At this moment, the Heavenly Rift no longer had the Tongue of Descent or the Giant Eyeball; instead, it consisted of colorful, iridescent vortexes, like the closed eyelids of an evil god.

The evil spirits all looked up, and together with the distorted humans, they gazed at her with their eyes or eye-like organs, displaying a kind of humanized fanaticism and piety.

"Alienation and mutation are also forms of evolution!"

The girl's voice, ethereal and melodious, echoed through the deathly silent campus, like a sermon.

"Thank the gods for bestowing upon us divine power, allowing humanity, which had been stagnant, to evolve once again!"

She lowered her head, her gaze sweeping over the devout evil spirits and demons, a smile playing on her lips, but her voice suddenly turned cold: "It's time to eradicate those heretics of the Steel Scroll Cult!"

"They actually rejected the blessings of God; they don't deserve to live in the 'New World'!"

"And that cult leader who calls himself 'the one descended from heaven,' I'd like to see what abilities he has and what his connection is with the steel coil!"

at the same time.

A detached villa, with a bedroom on the third floor.

Wei Qingzhou was wide awake, and his arm was almost numb, but he dared not move for fear of waking the sleeping girl.

He glanced at her sideways.

The girl was sleeping soundly, her pretty face serene and beautiful in the starlight.

The boy suddenly remembered a poem:

The west wind ages the waves of Dongting Lake, and overnight, the Xiang River Goddess's hair turns white. Drunk, unaware that the sky is reflected in the water, a boat full of sweet dreams presses down on the Milky Way.

"If my name were Wei Xinghe, she would be the one suppressing me." This thought inexplicably popped into Wei Qingzhou's head.

Just then.

The still air suddenly rippled, and lines of text formed a window, silently appearing before his eyes.

Hidden Quest: Cult Conflict

[Mission Details: The hostile force "Deification Cult" will launch a full-scale attack on the Steel Scroll Cult in three days. Host, please organize the Steel Scroll Cult for defense, or take the initiative to eliminate the Deification Cult!]

[Task Rewards: 10 Reincarnation Points, 10 Free Attribute Points.]

Wei Qingzhou, who had just been lost in thought, suddenly had his pupils contract.

A religion of deification?

He had never heard of that name before.

The black notebook contained no information about the Deification Cult.

"The butterfly effect?"

Wei Qingzhou frowned slightly.

He didn't think his "future self" would miss such important information.
