Chapter 513: Chapter 238: Personality Regression_1

"Holy shit!"

The luxury man shuddered at the sight, almost peeing himself in fear, and the others were no better off. The transformation happening to the Nike youth was too horrific, too visually shocking.

The Nike youth was just a normal person, whose skin was neither too pale nor too rough—just normal. But now, an abundance of feathers visibly sprouted from his pores, rapidly growing in size, and they were not just coated with a slick mucus but also streaked with blood.

The process didn’t seem to hurt, but it must’ve been extremely itchy, because the Nike youth couldn’t stop scratching all over his body.

"God Lin, what’s happening here?"

The Nike youth was desperate, his face showing an expression of utter panic as he stumbled toward Lin Baici, "Save me!"

Because he had a bird’s egg in his mouth, his words were somewhat muffled.

Whoosh!

Seeing the Nike youth heading their way, everyone took a step back, scared.

What if growing feathers was a disease and they all got infected by him?

Lin Baici didn’t move. He thought it must have something to do with the egg in his mouth.

Could it be that now was the time to spit it out?

Lin Baici’s brows furrowed, but recalling the Eater God’s review was ’holding a bird’s egg’ with no further instructions, he decided to wait and see.

"Qin Qin!"

Zeng Guoxue, dragging Little Fairy with him, retreated to keep a distance from the Nike youth.

"Let go of me!"

Little Fairy shook off her ex-boyfriend’s hand with force. She planned to stick with Lin Baici, but then she noticed that Lin Baici had no intention of backing down.

Isn’t he too brave?

Looking at Lin Baici’s towering stature, standing firm as a deep pool or a great mountain, she felt incredibly safe.

Little Fairy wanted to scream ’Daddy’ at Lin Baici!

Alas!

Such a great man, and not my boyfriend.

The feathers on the Nike youth were dense and flourishing, even sprouting on his head, and soon they covered his entire face, almost obscuring his eyes.

When he was four or five meters away from Lin Baici, the Nike youth suddenly flapped his arms like a giant bird swooping for prey and fluttered toward Lin Baici.

Screech!

The Nike youth roared, but the sound that came out wasn’t a human’s—it was the call of some bird species.

Lin Baici stepped forward with his left foot, bent at the waist, swung his arm, and like a heavy cannon, he hit the face of the oncoming Nike youth with his right fist.

Bang!

The bird-man Nike youth was sent flying, blood spraying from his mouth and nose, staining the feathers on his face red.

Thud!

He fell to the ground, screeching, for Lin Baici was too strong. Fearing another attack, he turned his aggression toward others.

"Does he seem to have lost his human memory?"

Gu Qingqiu was curious as the youth seemed to have changed not only in appearance but also in mentality; he had become a bird-man: "Also, the bird’s egg in my mouth seems to be hatching!"

"So is mine!"

Hua Yue Yu was worried; the egg in her mouth was jumping, making her very uncomfortable and drooling.

The youth in the denim jacket who had previously clashed with the Nike youth over feathers on the rooftop didn’t take pleasure in Nike youth’s plight; instead, he looked as mournful as a mourning fox.

Could this happen to me too?

The youth in the denim jacket trembled, afraid to look down at his skin, fearing he’d see feathers emerging. But this wasn’t something that would change with a person’s will.

He began to feel itchy on his skin, a slight stinging sensation, followed by feathers starting to sprout.

Could it be because of the bird’s egg?

The moment the thought hit the youth in the denim jacket, he immediately spat out the bird’s egg from his mouth, but it was futile; the feathers continued to grow.

Lin Baici took several quick steps forward to check the eggs on the ground.

They were intact!

It must be a new phase of rule contamination. Not just Nike youth and denim jacket guy but seven or eight other people too began to grow feathers, turning into bird-people.

The scene was too horrifying, truly a test of everyone’s ability to handle stress!

Unsure of what to do next, everyone looked to Lin Baici.

Zeng Guoxue spit out the egg in his mouth and even urged Little Fairy, "Qin Qin, quick, spit out the egg!"

Little Fairy didn’t listen to him, her eyes fixed on Lin Baici.

Zeng Guoxue was not only condescendingly self-righteous but also angered upon seeing Little Fairy hesitate and ignore his advice.

"I’m not going to hurt you; you have to trust me!"

Zeng Guoxue explained loudly, actually reaching out to pick at Little Fairy’s mouth, intending to brute force the egg out: "We would have been killed by that bird monster if we hadn’t shouted while holding the egg, but now that the bird monster is gone, holding it in will turn you into one!"

"You’re all such idiots, not spitting out the eggs—just wait and turn into monsters!"

Zeng Guoxue sneered.

Everyone hesitated, after all, Zeng Guoxue was still alive and well after spitting the egg out.

"Qin Qin, look at me, I am fine, right?"

Zeng Guoxue persuaded, "Trust me, don’t be afraid, even if we die, you have me to keep you company!"

Little Fairy wanted to live, she was struggling with the decision, but upon hearing the words ’keep you company,’ she immediately started to resist.

Go to hell!

Haven’t you hurt me enough?

Seeing Little Fairy’s resistance angered Zeng Guoxue further, and he could no longer restrain himself, slapping her across the cheek.

Slap!

Little Fairy was stunned by the slap.

"Listen to me, I won’t hurt you!"

Zeng Guoxue muttered incessantly, continuing his attempt to remove the egg, when Lin Baici’s right hand reached out, grabbed his wrist, and twisted it forcefully.

Ah!

Zeng Guoxue screamed in agony.

"Get lost, don’t bother her anymore!"

Lin Baici felt that this Zeng Guoxue had a pathological mindset, it wasn’t clear whether he loved Little Fairy or not; he would fight desperately for her, yet he also hurt her severely.

"You already have a beautiful girlfriend like Hua Yue Yu, so why do you keep pestering my girlfriend?"

Zeng Guoxue shouted loudly in protest, but Lin Baici was too strong, so he did not dare to act rashly.

"What do you mean by that?"

Little Fairy was about to explode in anger, are you saying that I am inferior to Hua Yue Yu?

Even if that were true, you are not allowed to say it out loud.

There was nothing good to say to someone like Zeng Guoxue, so Lin Baici directly kicked him, striking his shin bone hard.

Writhing in pain, Zeng Guoxue fell to the ground on one knee and then took another kick to the chest, sending him flying more than ten meters away.

"He has no feathers on him!"

Gu Qingqiu reminded everyone, keeping an eye on Zeng Guoxue. Her implication was simple—if Zeng Guoxue had no problem, then this meant that after spitting out the bird egg, one could avoid transforming into a bird-person.

"Wait!"

Lin Baici was succinct, "Of course, everyone’s life is their own. How you want to deal with it is not for me to intervene!"

Everyone was still hesitating, watching on as these people lost their humanity and turned into bird-people.

"Qin Qin, hurry up and spit out the bird egg!"

Zeng Guoxue shouted desperately, "Would I really harm you?"

"You wouldn’t harm me, but you’re too naive."

Little Fairy hesitated for a few seconds, looked at Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu, and especially Hua Yue Yu, who was completely looking to Lin Baici for guidance, she also decided to trust Lin Baici.

"Little White... urgh!"

Hua Yue Yu was halfway through speaking when she suddenly started to vomit. Her mouth was forcibly opened, and a wet chick covered in egg fluid and saliva crawled out from her mouth.

Once the chick touched the ground, it hopped a few times and then fluttered its wings, flying onto Hua Yue Yu’s head.

The others were stunned by this scene.

What’s happening?

The bird egg in her mouth hatched a bird?

Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu’s eyes lit up as they immediately began to check their surroundings, and sure enough, the remaining survivors’ mouths were swollen, obviously because the bird eggs were hatching.

Those who had turned into bird-people were just unlucky to have held a bad egg in their mouths.

They guessed right; the chicks hatched from the bird eggs in their mouths were indeed the key to using the altar.

The eggshell in Lin Baici’s mouth was completely shattered, and he could feel a chick wriggling, struggling, and pushing its way out of his mouth, jumping out.

Lin Baici caught the chick with his hand and placed it on his head.

The chick settled in Lin Baici’s hair as if it were a nest, sitting there, with one wing pointing toward the altar, chirping away.

"Is it trying to guide us to the altar?"

Gu Qingqiu guessed.

Lin Baici flipped over the railing, standing in the very center of the altar.

That straw bird suddenly began to sing, and as it did, the chick on Lin Baici’s head started to grow rapidly, becoming as large as a yak within seconds. Then, grabbing Lin Baici’s shoulders with its claws, it flapped its wings and took to the sky, flying eastward.

"Come on!"

Lin Baici yelled.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

Xia Hongyao urged.

Everyone ran to the center of the altar. All the chicks they owned quickly grew larger and then carried them away as they flew off.

"What about me... what do I do?"

Zeng Guoxue was dumbstruck, sweating profusely. Then he ran to the bird egg he had spat out, regardless of the dirt stuck to it, and quickly picked it up and shoved it back into his mouth.

One second, two seconds, and just as Zeng Guoxue was anxiously wondering when the thing would hatch, feathers started to grow on his body, morphing him into a bird-person.

Lin Baici, up in the sky, couldn’t help others. When he saw Zeng Guoxue didn’t have time to drag others down with him, he was relieved.

Riding their chicks, they flew off just like that.

"Where are we going?"

Xia Hongyao shouted.

"I don’t know. The less we find, the less we talk!"

Lin Baici looked down from above. The chicks flew higher and higher, the scenery on the ground becoming increasingly blurred. Suddenly, the chicks loosened their grip.

"..."

Lin Baici wasn’t frightened; he had been closely monitoring the chicks’ condition. The instant they released their grip, he immediately activated "Lightning Fast."

Whoosh!

Everything slowed down, and Lin Baici reached out, grabbing the chick’s claw, but aside from Xia Hongyao, Hua Yue Yu, and Gu Qingqiu—those people didn’t have the readiness to react—they all fell.

"Little White!"

Hua Yue Yu shouted.

Lin Baici hesitated for a moment, then let go of the claws, and Xia Hongyao quickly followed suit.

The group was falling from the sky.

As Xia Hongyao contemplated how to save herself, everything went dark, and she couldn’t see anything. Then, with a thud, she felt as if she had fallen into a pile of cotton.

By the time Xia Hongyao could see again, she realized she had landed in a small mountain made of feathers and immediately started to climb out, using both hands and feet.

"Little Linzi! Small Fish!"

Xia Hongyao shouted, crawling out of the feather mountain, and then she saw a golden iron net ahead of her.

What’s this?

A birdcage?
