In the small, dark basement, a thin ray of light reflected on the woman like an apocalypse piercing the dark clouds.

The dust of the basement mixed around the pillar of light, like pale ashes, rendering a dull and dead air. In Bai Xiao's field of vision, the only light seemed pale and mean, because it left a black and white border line as sharp as a blade on the woman's withered and withered body.

This is a frail woman who is like the light and shadow on her body, on the "edge".

This weakness has made her lose all the luster that a woman should have, and she only barely maintains the human contour, under which all concepts of beauty and ugliness have lost their meaning.

Bai Xiao could see at a glance that the fire of her life was crumbling, and at the same time, the fragments in her mind were surging like storms and angry waves.

She should have had an incomparably outstanding face, in the middle of countless lights.

She is Hui Bailian's mother.

The woman who gave birth to him in the slums and raised him, but unfortunately died when he was enlightened by the devil.

It is also a woman who has influenced Xu Bailian's life and completely distorted the outlook on life of this great master of the Demon Dao.

The surging memory made Bai Xiao dazed for a while, and in his astonishment, the world began to operate.

When the woman saw Bai Xiao, she slowly turned her head, and with her weak movements, the shadows that spread on her body squirmed like countless black reptiles, gnawing and sucking her vitality...... Even with all her might, the thin woman could only barely pull the corners of her mouth and reveal a stubborn smile.

"Coming back?"

Bai Xiao nodded subconsciously and responded vigorously: "I'll cook." ”

After that, Bai Xiao followed the trajectory of his memory and turned out a gray pocket in a small cabinet made of broken bricks and wood and stone, and then ......

"Mother?"

Half of the food that should have been left is empty.

The woman's smile also collapsed, and her hoarse voice was dyed with strong self-blame and even humiliation: "Sorry, black dogs, they ......"

"I see, it's okay. ”

The "Xu Bailian" in his memory did not let his mother continue to talk, because this was simply a self-evident thing.

Born in the slums, abduction and abduction are commonplace, and the weak have no right to survive...... Just losing half a bag of grain is already a good result.

Xu Bailian did not complain about his mother, because it was meaningless to complain, on the contrary......

"You...... Didn't get hurt, did you?"

Xu Bailian turned his head and looked at the woman on the bed again, in the dark environment, he didn't see any obvious wounds on his mother's body, but the group of black dogs were ruthless, and many times the injuries could not be judged by the naked eye......

The woman shook her head: "It's okay, they didn't embarrass me." ”

"Well, then I'll go find some food. Xu Bailian was also very decisive, he didn't complain, so he turned around and went out to think of a new way.

"Wait a minute, let me ...... Look at you. ”

His mother's request made Xu Bailian hesitate for a moment, and finally walked to his mother's side.

A withered, thin hand gently stroked Xu Bailian's forehead, and the woman made a heart-wrenching voice: "You were bullied by them again?"

At the same time, Bai Xiao felt a slight pain on his forehead as if the wound had been touched...... Obviously, although in the previous world, he crushed Xu Bailian's desperate logic with a sharp counterattack, in the new world, he still inherited the wounds on Xu Bailian's body.

At the same time, he also inherited his complicated feelings for the woman in front of him.

Bai Xiao couldn't tell why, when the last world was shattered, he actually had a chance to get out of this illusion - Bai Xiao at this time, after all, was not the snowy mountain savage who didn't know anything about the Demon Dao at the beginning of the year, and a year of hard study had made him worthy of the title of "Excellent Demon Daoist" in all aspects. Even in the face of the Demon Dao Grandmaster, in the case of the other party exposing such a huge flaw, he has enough ability to break free.

But at that moment he hesitated.

It's hard to explain why, or whenever Bai Xiao subconsciously thinks about it, instinct will stop him from going deeper.

So he willingly stayed in the illusion and played the role of Xu Bailian.

Different from the feeling of being forcibly stuffed before, in this world, Bai Xiao has enough dominance, he can control this body in memory at any time and do actions different from memory.

But when he met the frail woman's eyes, everything that followed seemed to fall into place.

"I'm fine. He shook his head, so that his dusty hair covered the wound...... But when the dust entered the wound, it caused even more intense pain.

Xu Bailian's physique is actually naturally sensitive to pain, even if he is bullied in the slums, he still can't get used to the feeling of pain, and the wound on his head is at risk of infection at this time, and his whole body can't help but tremble.

The woman's gaze suddenly darkened: "It's all useless ...... me"

"It's none of your business. Xu Bailian interrupted his mother's self-pity, reached out to wipe the blood that reappeared on his forehead, and grinned, "When I come back with food, we will have a full meal!"

"But ......"

"Believe me, it's just a little food, a trivial matter!" Xu Bailian patted his thin chest, but made a powerful sound.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then moved the corners of her mouth again, but she showed a sincere smile.

"yes, you're his child, after all......"

Before the words fell, Bai Xiao felt that a monstrous black tide was brewing in his mind!

Hatred, pain, low self-esteem, shame...... All the negative emotions that human beings have named for them are surging together, and under the huge emotional impact, even the vision is distorted, and the woman in front of him no longer has an amiable face, and in a trance, Bai Xiao saw another face.

It was a girl in her prime, in the prime of her life, with shiny skin, a full body, thick hair, and a sunny smile.

However, under the bright exterior, there is a nervous and humble heart that clearly inhabits.

In the girl's pupils, the figure of a hearty and generous young man was clearly reflected, with a broad back, a thick chest, a strong physique, and the same sunny smile, and the light was so brilliant that the girl would be dwarfed and hide herself in the shadows.

Suddenly, Bai Xiao realized that it was "his" father.

And the moment this enlightenment rose, more black mud surged over, and it was injected into his mind in an instant, rendering the bright young man into a mass of molten sludge.

In Xu Bailian's impression, his father is such an unworthy human being, a sludge-like thing.

This strong emotional impulse once again stirred in Bai Xiao's heart like a twilight bell, washing away all distractions, leaving only pure hatred.

Bai Xiao had never hated a person so purely...... No, not never, on the contrary, this emotion is actually more of a resonance.

"Enough!"

With an angry roar, Bai Xiao interrupted the woman's muttering.

In the other party's surprised gaze, Bai Xiao turned around and left this small home without hesitation.

Outside the door, however, was an even darker abyss.

The moment the door was closed, the world in front of Bai Xiao began to distort.

He saw more fragments of memory, and the taunts and curses of the miscellaneous echoed in his ears.

"Bitch Dog Hybrid ......"

"I don't know the sky and the earth is thick and rotten, do you really think that you are the daughter of a nobleman?

"If it weren't for the birth of you, your mother wouldn't have fallen to this point......"

These voices lingered for a long time, and then they were gradually forcibly suppressed by Bai Xiao, and when he raised his head, the foul and dark alley was still in front of him, without any change.

Bai Xiao stood in front of the door for a while, further calmed down his mind, and then let out a sigh.

"I see......"

After all, he is a hunter born in the snowy mountains, and his keen insight is an instinct rooted in the depths of his bone marrow. Having been in the illusion for so long, he had instinctively seen everything.

"Mother's Love...... That's my weakness?"

A person who calmly examines his weaknesses is no less painful than scraping bones to cure poison. When Bai Xiao raised this thought, he felt as if his heart was being gnawed away, and countless warnings from instinct prevented him from continuing to think, but he was not afraid and ignored all the warnings.

"It turns out that I have a peculiar resonance with Xu Bailian in this aspect, can this be regarded as his crooked attack? No, since there is a weakness, it is only a matter of time before someone is used, it is I who is too careless, in fact, Bai Wuya's bastard has been taking advantage of this for a long time...... However, since you're here, you might as well keep watching, what's going on with that woman?"

Just thinking about it, suddenly Bai Xiao moved the whole world and shook again, and the alley in front of him once again turned into pieces, and fell down like a waterfall.

"Again?"

The last time the world was shattered, it was because Bai Xiao destroyed Xu Bailian's confident despair logic network, but this time...... Bai Xiao didn't feel that he had broken anything, on the contrary, he was almost completely dragged into the abyss by Xu Bailian because of his weakness.

"Could it be a deeper deploy?"

Bai Xiao immediately raised his vigilance, but then he saw a dazzling light.

It was a far cry from the rotten glow of the slums and basements, full of life and hope.

It was something that felt so familiar and familiar to him...... Sunshine in Red Hill City.

However, seeing this familiar light, the vigilance in Bai Xiao's heart was even greater.

Obviously, his illusion was forcibly broken by an external force, and the appearance of an external force mostly means ......

The next moment, Bai Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly to adapt to the overly strong light, and then saw everything around him clearly.

Zhu Junshi stood in the middle of the arena with a solemn face, and slowly lowered his right hand, as if he had cut off something.

Bai Xiao frowned, guessing the meaning of this action.

It was Zhu Junshen who intervened and forcibly broke the illusion? The test of that Shengyuan person is over? I ...... Lost?

At this moment, Bai Xiao really did not have the confidence to win.

In the first world, he broke Xu Bailian's logic network with a counterattack full of tribal style, but in the second world, instead of breaking the game, he fell into it, if only from the perspective of "test", he did lose, so ......

But just as Bai Xiao was groaning, he heard an undetectable moan.

His gaze crossed Zhu Junshen and came to Xu Bailian's body.

Then Bai Xiao was surprised to see that the Demon Dao Grandmaster from the Saint Yuan had a genuine iron-blue color at this time! The flesh under the robe was squirming as strongly as boiling water!

Bai Xiao was inexplicably surprised.

Which one is this? I don't seem to have done anything, why did Xu Bailian react so much?

Zhu Junshen didn't wait for him to think about it.

"Okay, that's the end of this academic exchange! Please save the really wonderful content for both sides until after the main drama begins, and now, please take a break. ”

Zhu Junshen's voice forcefully ran through the audience. As the master of Red Mountain Academy, when he is serious, he will not encounter any resistance. And as he slowly raised his hands, Bai Xiao and Xu Bailian were excluded from the spherical court at the same time.

In this regard, even the most lawless original poem only shrugged his shoulders at this time, showing some interest.

"It's a pity that the old man still has too many concerns...... Why should you care if a mad dog lives or dies?"

Before the words fell, I heard Zhu Junshen's familiar reprimand ringing in my ears.

"Even if it's a mad dog or even a plague pig, as long as he still has the label of Grandmaster Shengyuan, he can't sit back and watch him die in Red Mountain City!

"The one with the most debts, of course!"

“......”

——

A duel between the grandmaster and the new student seems a bit anticlimactic. Despite the wonderful performance of the Shengyuan idol Li Na, people were still a little incomprehensible to the sudden interruption of the Broken Number Grandmaster, and naturally there were many discussions after the end.

"What the hell is going on, why did the Great Grandmaster suddenly intervene in it, what happened unexpectedly?"

"Did Bai Xiao suffer a dark loss, so he had to interrupt on the spot?"

"Not really...... I mean, Xu Bailian did not hesitate to be a grandmaster, and personally went out to do it to a first-year freshman, which is called a test, which is already very ridiculous. Even if Bai Xiao really suffers a loss, isn't it natural for him to lose to the Grandmaster as a teenager?"

"Maybe you lost badly?

"Don't talk about it, it's not like you haven't seen the situation at the scene, Bai Xiao is jumping around, and after the end of the game, he also fought with Lan Lan, who was entangled in the past, where are there any particularly miserable signs......?

"Was it plotted by the Great Grandmaster? Originally, there was a difference in strength between the two sides, if there was no intention or not, it was possible for him to hit the street on the spot. ”

"He deserves it, I heard that he is a mad dog at all, and he doesn't know how to restrain himself when he runs to someone else's territory, and he is to blame for being cleaned up......"

In the midst of people's confused discussions, this rehearsal designed for Xu Bailian and the entire Shengyuan finally came to an end.

Behind the curtain, there was chaos.

Xu Bailian staggered, and flashed into the spacious bedroom of Xinhu Restaurant, which was the grandmaster suite arranged by Hongshan Academy for him, the Saint Yuan Grandmaster, in advance, and it was also the place where Bai Xiao once lived.

The en-suite bedrooms are flooded with natural light, with warm and inviting light streaming in through the clear glass windows...... But it made Xu Bailian tremble, and he looked even colder.

He barely glanced at it, and suddenly the curtain on the window closed abruptly, blocking out all light, and the bedroom was suddenly pitch black...... This made Xu Bailian feel a little relaxed.

However, before he could catch his breath, he felt a torrent rushing up his belly.

He immediately activated his supernatural powers, flashed into the toilet next to the bedroom, aimed at the toilet, and opened his mouth......

A colorful waterfall.

Xu Bailian only felt dizzy, as if he had vomited out all his internal organs, and after a little relief, he opened his eyes and subconsciously glanced at the vomiting scene.

What caught my eye was an even more terrifying scene.

In the toilet, there are hundreds of worms crowded together.

Each worm was fat and plump, with a sparkling color, curled up into a round ball, leaving only a small gap in the center of the circle.

It looks like round eyeballs!
