Silence enveloped the surroundings. The ghost woman stood there, rigid. The crisis level, which had shot up to 99%, abruptly dropped to 50%.

"Eh?" The ghost woman appeared stunned.

Lynne cleared his throat with a hint of embarrassment, "My apologies, but when you suddenly approached like that, I couldn't help but want to give you a kiss. Please forgive my rudeness. It's just that you truly fit my aesthetic."

The ghost woman, in her daze, muttered, "Fit your... aesthetic?"

Viscous droplets seeped from the cracks in her face. Her foul-smelling tentacles and sharp spines seemed like a scene from a horror movie.

Lynne, his face turning slightly red, clutched his racing heart, "Indeed... ever since I was a child, I've had a deep admiration for girls with great sets of teeth and tentacles..."

He reached out, gripping two of the viscous tentacles hanging from her split face, caressing them along with the sticky liquid.

"Especially the sticky types like you, dear Miss. You're akin to the radiant moonlight in my eyes."

The ghost woman hesitated, "Um..."

Something's not right! There's something off about this human! Why did he remain so calm when she showed her real face? And when she revealed her terrifying visage, he seemed even more excited?

Lynne, by her side, affectionately caressed the sticky tentacles (*๓´╰╯`๓).

Time seemed to stand still. However, in that frozen moment, Lynne suddenly halted his actions, furrowing his brow.

The ghost woman immediately reacted, her eyes narrowing in a sneer, "What's wrong? Don't you adore sticky, well-toothed woman like me?"

[Crisis Level 70%]

Lynne said gravely, "I've noticed something concerning. Miss, don't you pay much attention to oral hygiene?"

The ghostly woman, once again bewildered, retorted, "What's it to you?"

Lynne rose abruptly, declaring, "How can a beautiful lady like yourself allow any imperfections? I believe, dear lady, you're in dire need of exquisite care! And I'm exactly the kind of professional skilled at providing such care."

The ghost woman was once again taken aback, "Um..."

...

Several minutes later.

Lynne, satisfied, gazed at the ghost woman before him who now had gleaming, spotless teeth. He then took out a small bottle of breath freshener and sprayed it liberally over her teeth.

"Do you feel a sudden freshness in your breath now?"

Lynne took out a mirror, his smile broad and animated, and held it before her.

Seeing her own radiant, split-mouth with its sharp spines and refreshed tentacles in the reflection, her expression froze.

In fact, for the past few minutes, her brain had essentially been in a state of shutdown. Because this wasn't right! This development was absolutely not what she had envisioned! It was one thing for him not to be afraid, but to actually look thrilled while providing her oral care...

Was this a normal human reaction? By the usual conventions, shouldn't he be screaming in terror and then fleeing in utmost fear? Something's not right! This human is not right!

Crack, crack, crack—

The woman reached out, forcefully closing her split face, reverting to her previous charming, sophisticated human appearance.

Smack—

She slapped the counter, coldly stating: "Stop buttering me up. I'm here on serious business. Speak! Did you perform surgery on a pigfolk yesterday?"

[Crisis Level 71%]

Lynne pondered for a moment, "Yes."

The ghost woman narrowed her eyes, sneering, "You operated on him, and you even extracted a baby from his belly, didn't you?"

The image of the ghost baby immediately floated into Lynne's mind.

"May I know who you are?"

The ghostly woman's voice was deadly, "I am her mother."

Lynne: "!!!"

...

This was beyond anything Lynne had envisioned. For he absolutely couldn't associate the ghost infant, one that reveled in decay, with the ghost woman before him.

Lynne, eyes wide, exclaimed: "Patience, patience. I'm merely perplexed. How could a lady as beautiful as yourself fall for that pigfolk? And even if so, shouldn't it be birthed by you?"

The woman scoffed coldly, "Do not feign confusion. You must know the circumstances; he must have told you. A month ago, he consumed a little ghost. That little ghost was a part of me. Since it has taken form, I am its mother."

Lynne: "!!!"

Lynne struggled to maintain his composure, inquiring tentatively, "So, madam, you are here to..."

The woman, with a cold laugh, licked her crimson lips and said, "Naturally, to retrieve my child. If I'm not mistaken, my child should have morphed into a catastrophe by now, hasn't it?"

Lynne, eyes wide, retreated step by step.

"Uh, how should I put it..."

And then, the woman's face once again split open in an instant, her entire body continuously oozing foul-smelling slime. Countless tentacles writhed out from her hair, slender hands sprouting one eye after another with a crackling sound.

She advanced step by step towards Lynne, laughing coldly, declaring: "Slaughter! Malice! Resentment! Wickedness! My child possesses all the delightful qualities I possess. Since it has been born, it will undoubtedly become a qualified hunter, bringing catastrophe and nightmares to all!"

[Crisis Level 81%]

[Crisis Level 91%]

Lynne, trembling, backed away, the medicine cabinet behind him, leaving him no room to retreat.

"Madam, please wait a moment! How can you be so certain that the infant is your child? If you wish to take him, I think we should have the pigfolk confront you directly!"

Lynne hastily tried to stall for time.

The woman sneered, "Confront? Fine! I will have him confront you right away!"

With a gasp, she suddenly opened her enormous bloody mouth, accompanied by a series of regurgitations. A slime-covered pig's head immediately dropped from her mouth onto the counter.

Thump—

The nearly completely corroded pig's head stared straight at Lynne. Lynne recognized at a glance, it was the pigfolk he had operated on yesterday!

Lynne: "(ΩДΩ)!!"

[Sanity -20!]

[Sanity -20!]

Consumed! The pigfolk had actually been devoured by this ghost woman!

"Hand over my child immediately!" The woman approached step by step with a cold laugh, countless tentacles surging around Lynne. "Perhaps, I might consider sparing your life!"

Lynne, his back against the wall, said seriously, "I'll hand over! Definitely will! But… that… your child may be a little bit different from what you imagined…"

And it was at this moment, from behind the curtain, there came the sound of tiny footsteps.

Lynne's heart skipped a beat. The ghost woman immediately raised her head, sensing the presence; a cold smirk instantly appeared on her face, saying: "It seems, my child has heard and is coming, hehehe…"

The ghost woman no longer paid any attention to Lynne. She turned around, facing the curtain, countless tentacles writhing wildly around her, her smile growing more chaotic and distorted.

"I might as well see what my child has turned into now. An indescribable distortion? Or a forbidden evil ghost rolling in malice? I'm quite looking forward to it! Heeeee—"

Lynne swallowed, wide-eyed, "I think it would be better if you don't harbor any expectations, madam."

Because…

And it was at the next moment, the curtain in the backyard was slowly lifted. Then, a baby, all chubby and pink, yawning and in a daze, walked out from the backyard.

(っ ̯ -。)

A pair of fluffy ears drooped atop her head, hazy and confused. Pink and tender, fluffy and adorable. The expression of the ghost woman instantly froze in place, like a statue, unmoving.

"…"

An eerie silence brazenly spread around.

"Who is she?" The ghost woman asked, dumbfounded.

Lynne coughed and said earnestly, "She is the infant that the pigfolk gave birth to yesterday, isn't she cute?"

Hum—

The gaze of the ghost woman became hollow. Subconsciously, she extended a long tentacle from her body, slowly reaching out toward the little girl, and after getting close to her, she swiftly severed the tip of the tentacle.

Accompanying the falling tentacle, that tentacle quickly coiled around the little girl's leg like a little snake and penetrated almost without hindrance.

Perfect fusion. No signs of any rejection reaction.

The ghost woman shuddered, her gaze gradually becoming vacant, as this meant that this beast-eared, adorable baby in front of her was the fragment that had fallen from her body a month ago. That is to say, she is her own daughter. But what kind of joke is this?

She trembled. Because, according to normal development, the malicious fragment that fell from her should have transformed into an incredibly twisted monster even if it did manifest!

An evil spirit of chaos and destruction born from birth, an existence of extreme evil! Slaughter! Malice! Resentment! Evil! But how does it feel like this child is totally unrelated to evil and destruction?

Lynne, seeing the vacant expression and the crashed consciousness of the ghost woman, quietly asked: "System, explain."

[Ding! The Evil Spirit Blood Baby has completed the initial transformation and has adjusted the correct outlook on life and values according to the host's previous settings. The Evil Spirit Blood Baby is currently in its infancy.]

Then the introduction of the Evil Spirit Blood Baby appeared in front of Lynne.

[Evil Spirit Blood Baby (Infancy)]

[Level: 10]

[Alignment: Chaotic Good]

[Description: Originally a young spirit born of malice and hatred, but due to the interference of someone, it has changed its growth direction and does not seem so evil and destructive…]

[Current Taming Level: 351]

[Current Fear Level: 591]

Lynne: "…"

"Attention!"

Snap to! The little girl, who was still staggering in a daze, immediately reflexively straightened up (;oдo).

Patter—

Both little feet came together, her body straightened up, staring ahead, the little one perfectly stood at attention.

"Left face!"

The little infant⊙﹏⊙immediately turned and stood straight, facing Lynne. The little tail behind her was still swishing. Obviously, the psychological shadows and taming level from before her formation have already been engraved into her bones.

Lynne: "…"

[Such… a good girl…It seems this should be the situation where the taming level is maxed out. This is not good!]

The ghost woman watched this scene blankly, feeling her entire worldview collapsing.

Lynne walked over, picked up the little girl, brought her in front of the ghost woman, and seriously said: "Ma'am, she is indeed a very healthy daughter. If you are sure she is your child, you can adopt her from me at any time."

Then Lynne poked the little girl's soft cheek and said: "Little one, call her mommy."

"Mommy."

The little girl blinked, seemingly also feeling the wonderful connection between her and the ghost woman in front of her. She leaned over.

Slurp—

She stuck out her tongue and gave her a lick on her face(๑>︶<๑), leaving a small wet mark.

The ghost woman: "!!!"

[Sanity -10]

[Sanity -10]

"It's impossible! She can't possibly be my daughter..."

She murmured blankly. Feeling her worldview and outlook on life all being greatly shocked. Because she is an aggregation of evil spirits, a deformed evil spirit twisted by countless malice and hatred! The daughter incarnated from the fragment that fell from her can only be even more twisted and ferocious!

She shivered back to her senses and looked into the baby's eyes.

Crack—

She felt something inside her heart breaking.

Purity…

She actually saw purity in her eyes! There is such a terrifying thing as purity in the eyes of an evil spirit; this is absolutely not a quality that a normal dark creature should possess!

"It must be a disguise!" She murmured to herself, "Just as I often transform into a beautiful woman to seduce those prey, yes! It must be like this! Under this pure appearance, there must be hiding an evil and twisted soul!"

She murmured, finding reasons for herself.

Slurp—

The little girl tiptoed and left another wet mark on her face, her eyes full of sweetness. Clearly, she had also felt the intimate relationship between herself and the ghost woman in front of her.

The little girl raised her head and affectionately rubbed her forehead against the ghost woman.

"Yada——"

Buzz—

The ghost woman became blank, the cognition that had just been established with great difficulty shattered into pieces with a crack.

[Sanity -10]

[Sanity -10]

"This shouldn't be…" The ghost woman said blankly. "Normally, the evil spirit fragments that fall off from me would definitely form into a twisted existence, how could… how could…"

She suddenly turned her head, and the malicious and furious gaze instantly fell on Lynne. Countless tentacles pointed at Lynne.

"Is it your doing?!"

[Ding! Crisis Level 91%]

It seems she was about to attack.

Lynne widened his eyes, decisively lifting the cute ghost baby in his arms forward. In an instant, the ghost woman's eyes were once again filled with the swaying, adorable baby.

Slurp—

The ghost baby stuck out her tongue and licked the tip of a tentacle in front of her.

"Yada~~"

[Ding! Crisis Level 71%]

[Ding! Crisis Level 61%]

[Ding! Crisis Level 51%]

"Ah—ah—"

The ghost woman screamed, clutching her head, looking like she was about to break down.

"It's impossible! She can't possibly be my daughter! Absolutely impossible!"

This kind of breakdown is not something ordinary people can understand. It's like a soul that deems itself extremely ugly and filthy, having a child possessing purity, kindness, and other beautiful qualities—it's absolutely unacceptable for an ugly evil spirit!

[Ding! Host triggers mission: Evil Spirit Mother]

[Mission Introduction: Make the target accept that the baby is her daughter and eliminate the target's malice towards the host.]

[Mission Rewards: Skull Coinx300, Experience +100, Blood-clad Evil Spirit Favorability +50]

Lynne: "???"

This system really takes every opportunity to throw all sorts of strange tasks at him! However, whether this evil spirit can eliminate her malice towards her, indeed the only way is to start with this child.

Lynne cleared his throat, adjusted his monocle, and said seriously: "Ma'am, please calm down for a moment. Since you came to me looking for your child, it means that you must care very much about your own child. In that case…"

Lynne lifted the adorable baby in his arms.

"Shouldn't you feel happy seeing such a cute and healthy daughter?"

The ghost woman sneered angrily, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, and said: "Heh, let me ask you, if you see your own child turn into a ghost-like figure, would you be happy?"

Lynne was taken aback, and said: "Shouldn't I?"

"…"

"…"
