[Metamorphosis]

[The sinking dancer revealed a deceptive smile, but then what in this world is truly authentic?]

[The dancers of the Abandoned Capital sometimes hold various meanings, yet their origins as one of the oldest professions of humankind always come with tragedy and pain.]

[Despite this, the dancers, who acquired extraordinary powers, still attempt to fight against fate.]

[Her smile could make all threats vanish into thin air, bewitching any creature, whether they possess sanity or are devoid of it.]

[“Spin, jump, I close my eyes.”]

[Price: 1,111,111 Silence Points]

This item was a pale purple veil, and it was clear that it took effect as soon as it covered the face.

The effect was like “Cat Addiction”, charming enemies, and moreover, this charm was evidently a higher level, able to ignore the sanity of the opponent.

In critical moments, just covering with this light veil could confront the swarming monsters, and perhaps even the influence of the Ancient Overlords could be dissolved.

Lu Ban felt this item was also rather good.

The three items he had chosen all lent towards protecting himself; after all, in the Foreign Domain, staying alive meant being able to fight back. Lu Ban himself possessed “Testament”, which made him barely fear the attacks of those monsters for the most part, and so far, the most dangerous situation he encountered was the kind where he faced a sealed Ancient Overlord right after opening a door.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ban eventually chose “Dancer’s Smile”.

This wasn’t because it was the cheapest, but because Lu Ban intended to undertake a mission in the Abandoned Capital.

This “Dancer’s Smile” seemed to be the product of a mutation of the people from the Abandoned Capital, and Lu Ban believed it could be put to good use in the next mission there.

Besides, perhaps Lu Ban could extract some knowledge about the Abandoned Capital from this item.

Thinking this, Lu Ban decisively exchanged for “Dancer’s Smile”.

Silence Points instantly decreased by a million, and even Lu Ban felt a twinge of pain.

However, considering he could probably earn back most of it after one mission, and if lucky, could even pick up some polluted items to sell and trouble others, he let go of his reluctance.

He was now a qualified Chosen by Gods, and it was important to have higher aspirations.

Lu Ban glanced at the veil that had appeared in his hands.

It was the kind of light veil commonly seen on dancers to cover their faces, pink, thin, like a mist, and could easily be worn over the face.

In the Abandoned Capital, dancers did more than just dance; like the ones Lu Ban had encountered during the “Glass Flower” mission, some performed other tasks, trading their bodies for money.

Seeing this veil, Lu Ban suddenly felt a familiar sensation, although he had never seen the dancers of the Misty City flutter in their dance, this veil made him feel as though he had met an old friend.

He quickly thought of a Chosen by Gods he had once met briefly, the woman from the Abandoned Capital whom he saw in the Horror Cinema, named Zi Tang.

People like her, who lacked combat abilities and could only see some extraordinary and bizarre things, would find it very difficult to survive many missions without some fortunate encounters.

Perhaps in this time, she had already encountered misfortune.

With this thought in mind, Lu Ban decided to try out the effect of this item.

“Laika, come here.”

Lu Ban called out, and the chubby Corgi immediately waddled over, sitting in front of him.

He then donned the veil.

The instant he put on the veil, Lu Ban felt his vision become odd, as the surroundings distorted, changing, presenting unusual colors, and soon, he could discern these colors represented different things, such as the sofa beneath him and the coffee table in front being green, indicating they were safe and posed no danger, while the cars outside the window were blue, signifying a certain degree of danger.

Lu Ban looked towards Laika, whose color displayed a multicolored texture, yet all the colors were enveloped in a faint black light, like a colorful array of black.

This represented extreme danger.

This “Dancer’s Smile” seemed to be able to perceive threatening things in its surroundings.

Compared with Lu Ban’s True Sight, this vision was of a different dimension. After having understood the relevant knowledge, Lu Ban’s True Sight could see through disguises and reach the essence of things, while this veil simply marked out threats, even those that Lu Ban did not understand, revealing their level of danger.

It couldn’t be better for avoiding the Pollution of the Ancient Overlords that might appear during missions.

Lu Ban looked toward Laika.

The Corgi suddenly rushed towards Lu Ban.

It stuck out its tongue, attempting to lick Lu Ban’s face but was quickly stopped by him.

“Is this charm?”

Lu Ban thought about it; although the ordinary Laika seemed to resemble a dog, it normally didn’t show affection or seek favor from its master like a real dog would. Most of the time, it would merely rub against him or wag its tail.

He had never seen it behave like this before.

Moreover, Lu Ban thought, regardless of its docile and naive appearance, Laika’s true nature was a Hunter from a Foreign Domain, a monster hunting down those Chosen by Gods. The fate of most who encountered such a Hunter was to be devoured, and their level of Pollution was undoubtedly high.

Even such a creature would be charmed by the “Dancer’s Smile,” showing the effect of this item.

“Not bad at all.”

Lu Ban felt satisfied with his purchase and was about to take it off.

The next moment, Lu Ban heard layers upon layers of ethereal whispers in his ear.

“Please, please don’t do this, I can do anything…”

“It hurts, it hurts, my whole body is in pain…”

“What is that, no, don’t, what is this thing, don’t come closer!”

“I can’t feel my legs anymore, my hands, what is this, this isn’t my hand, this isn’t!”

“Ah, how comfortable, this feeling, it’s wonderful!”

“Do you also want to arrive at the shore of bliss with me, do you also want to experience that supreme ecstasy?”

Voice filled with pain, sorrow, regret, and temptation echoed in Lu Ban’s mind, as if emanating from his own will, impossible to disperse or block out.

At the same time, Lu Ban saw his skin beginning to change. From underneath it, worm-like monsters tried to break out, his organs started sprouting green fuzz, and his bones began to loosen and break.

Feeling this Mutation, Lu Ban immediately melted himself.

In an instant, all the Mutations vanished along with Lu Ban’s dissolving body.

For a moment, Lu Ban reverted back to human form.

If the situation had continued, Lu Ban estimated that his entire body would have been reshaped into that of the dancer.

As for his consciousness, he was unsure.

“Items with the [Metamorphosis] quality seem to have this tendency to make the user become more like themselves.”

Thinking this, Lu Ban was almost certain that products with the [Metamorphosis] quality were the remains of Chosen by Gods who had failed their missions.

And this “Dancer’s Smile” — if Lu Ban was not mistaken — was indeed the remains of Miss Zi Tang.
