After the fear swept away, what was left was devastation and corpses with distorted faces everywhere.
Ming Xiao didn't know why he didn't die, and he didn't care about it. He stayed with his mother, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.
I cry because of my mother, and I laugh because of my mother.
He cried because he never understood his mother's intention. He laughed because his mother asked him to laugh like this forever.
This is why his mother gave him this name.
One day and one night later, Ming Xiao was in a daze and walked out of the house holding her mother's body.
However, before he could bury his mother's body, countless black shadows suddenly appeared across the sky and stood in front of him.
A bone-chilling chill hit him. Standing in front of these black shadows, Ming Xiao felt as if his heart had been grabbed, and even his breathing became sluggish.
"The ninth adaptive species, take him away!" At this time, the leading black shadow spoke.
As his words fell, Ming Xiao suddenly felt an invisible force lifting him up into the sky.
Ming Xiao wanted to grab his mother, but this power controlled his body, making him unable to resist.
He watched helplessly as his mother's body slipped from his hands and drifted away.
In the days that followed, Ming Xiao was taken into a huge city.
There are fearful creatures everywhere here. Although their shapes are different, their bodies are all condensed from black mist, and their characteristics are obvious.
There were eight other people brought here like him.
As for why they came, they already knew.
According to what the fear species creatures who brought them here said, they are adaptive species and there is a chance to become one of them in the future.
It turns out that after the aura of this world is transformed, there is a very small probability that adaptive species will be born. They will be able to adapt to the special fear aura at birth and will not be affected.
This is also the reason why Mingxiao is different from other creatures.
According to the description of the fear species that brought them here, as long as you can successfully transform your body here, you can join them and become a member of the fear species.
This is their only chance to live.
In the days that followed, Ming Xiao and the other eight people were forced to drink fear liquid every day to transform their bodies.
This process is extremely painful, the suffocating fear lingers in my mind, and the feeling of helplessness is despairing.
During this period, the liquid swallowed into the body continued to corrode the physical body, transforming them into elemental bodies.
In the days that followed, there were more and more "adapted species" in the city.
Some of them are willing to endure the feeling of fear and suffering in order to survive, but there are also some who resist the transformation of this force like Ming Xiao.
But the result is the same. They cannot choose life or death, and are imprisoned underground in the city, enduring the despair caused by fear.
Ming Xiao was an exception during this period.
The faces of all the adapted creatures that were brought here were full of hesitation and nervousness, but he was the only one who smiled.
Even if the pain is extreme, he will still laugh, using hysterical laughter and unyielding will to fight against the power in his body.
Every time they were forced to swallow the "fear ectoplasm", all the adapted species would lie on the ground struggling and trembling. At this time, there would always be laughter ringing out in this dark place, which seemed out of place.
This is Ming Xiao's promise to his mother, to continue laughing, no matter what he faces.
His abnormality aroused the curiosity of the fearful creatures, and the smile on Mingxiao's face aroused their disgust.
As fearful species, they hate smiles and long to see faces filled with tension and hesitation.
Although Ming Xiao might become one of them, they couldn't bear it anymore and took action against Ming Xiao.
After drinking the "Fear Spirit Liquid" that day, while Ming Xiao was laughing in pain, the "inspector" of the fear species arrived early to check on their physical condition.
He cut Ming Xiao's cheek mercilessly, peeled off Ming Xiao's entire face, and sealed Ming Xiao's mouth with flesh and blood.
Because he hates smiles, and even more hates the twisted smile Ming Xiao shows in pain.
But after peeling off Ming Xiao's face, he knew that Ming Xiao could never smile again.
But what Ming Xiao did next shocked the inspector.
Ming Xiao used his fingers to carve a blood mark on his bloody face, forming a wide arc smile.
Although this smile is ugly, even disgusting and scary, Mingxiao just wants to keep laughing, and no one can stop it!
The former Mingxiao, his smile was like a spring breeze and brought a lot of joy to the tribe members.
But at this moment, Ming Xiao's smile looked extremely ferocious, like a demon.
His struggle was not only in action, but also in spirit.
There were constant adaptive species around him who died because they could not bear the increasing pain, but Ming Xiao did not. He continued to laugh and live strong with his terrifying smile.
The body gradually turned into black mist, but Ming Xiao's performance attracted the attention of the inspector.
After examining Ming Xiao's physical condition, the examiner was surprised to find that Ming Xiao's transformation did not seem to be a complete transformation into a fear species, but a situation that had never occurred before.
Fear species feed on fear, and their bodies are also made of special fear sources.
The process of transforming the bodies of all fear species into fear species is the process of transforming the body into elemental bodies. During this period, the body is eroded little by little, and is eventually replaced by the source of fear, forming a source of fear in the heart, becoming a new source of fear.
of life forms.
But Mingxiao's elemental body is different. In addition to the basic source of fear, it also has a spiritual obsession.
He did not condense the source of fear, but instead condensed a spiritual power. This spiritual power was like a thread, wrapping around the source of fear, binding him to Ming Xiao, allowing his body to complete
Convert.
In other words, if this spiritual power disappears, which is equivalent to pulling away all the threads, Mingxiao's body will completely collapse.
Having witnessed the transformation process of a large number of adapted species in many worlds, this fear creature, who is specifically responsible for checking the transformation of adapted species, has seen such a weird birth process for the first time.
But even so, he didn't feel anything was wrong.
Because as long as the transformation of the fear species is completed, Mingxiao will become one of them, and everything in his life will be forgotten, turning into a complete fear species, opening a new path of memory.
Mingxiao at that time was no longer Mingxiao.
But what he didn't know was that Ming Xiao's memory had not faded at all until this moment. Even though fear filled his body, he had not forgotten what he was holding on to...
…
The transformation process is long, and hundreds of years have been spent in transformation.
By now, Ming Xiao's body had completely turned into fear, turning into a ball of erratic black mist, and the smile on his face was lost again.
Now those fearful species call him: companion!
Ming Xiao's memory also became erratic after being transformed into elements, like clouds and mist that could not be grasped, looming.
Even the memory of my mother has become very vague and has almost disappeared.
But there is one thing that Ming Xiao has not forgotten, and that is to keep laughing.
This was the blessing his mother sent him when he was born. It was also the last message her mother left for him before she left. It was also the obsession and spiritual power that was born when he transformed into a fear species.
Other creatures that have been completely transformed into fear species have become new lives. They are eager to swallow the emotion of fear and see the creatures struggling painfully in the face of fear.
But Mingxiao is different from other fear species. He does not desire to swallow fear, he only wants to laugh...
But how can we smile when our body has turned into black mist?
Mingxiao's abnormality caused dissatisfaction among the examiners.
Other fear species are already trying to swallow their fearful emotions. Only Mingxiao is practicing laughter in the dark room, trying to use the black mist to condense his own smiling face.
The angry inspector began to punish Ming Xiao.
The power of fear invaded Ming Xiao's body again and again, making him feel painful. He laughed wildly in response, but could no longer smile.
But what the examiner didn't know was that his power only caused pain to Ming Xiao, but did not cause much harm to Ming Xiao. Instead, this power was entangled with spiritual threads and remained in Ming Xiao's body.
During the punishment, Mingxiao began to subconsciously devour the negative emotions generated by himself, and also tried to devour the angry emotions generated by the examiner to grow.
Mingxiao is different after being transformed into elements, because his body is formed by binding the source of fear with spiritual power, and he is not a complete fear species at all.
All emotions can be bound in his body by spiritual power and become his source of power.
So he doesn't only have "fear" as an emotion to choose from.
Mingxiao's power continued to accumulate during this period. He longed to smile and endured the anger of the inspector and his own negative emotions of unwillingness to smile.
Finally one day he broke out.
Having completely transformed into a monster, he pounced on the inspector and began to devour the fear source in his body. His spiritual power turned into silk threads and wrapped around the inspector's black mist body, helping Mingxiao plunder the fear source and incorporate it into him. Oneself.
That night, Mingxiao's laughter resounded throughout the earth.
As if it were a natural nemesis, the source of fear would only be a tonic in front of Ming Xiao, and could not cause any harm to him. The examiner's struggles were in vain.
He ate the examiner alive...
It was also that night that Ming Xiao found that his body had become much more solid.
At this moment, he suddenly realized something. It seemed that eating such things could slowly grow elemental entities...
Thinking of this, Ming Xiao turned his attention to those similar people who were also underground and were already trying to swallow their fearful emotions.
The killing started, and Mingxiao began to crazily eat these fear species, just to have the entity, and then smile...
Smile is not just an expression for Ming Xiao, it is the source of his spiritual power, and it is also an obsession in his vague memory!
By the time the fearful creatures discovered the anomaly underground, Mingxiao had already eaten them all.
The source power of all the fear species in the underground was gathered on Ming Xiao.
He tried to condense the entity, but found that these source powers were not enough at all, and he needed to continue to devour them.
That day the underground door opened, and Ming Xiao, wearing a white smiling mask, walked out of the dark world that had imprisoned him for a hundred years.
All the source of fear was turned into a white mask by Mingxiao and worn on his face.
This should be considered a smile...
Looking at the world outside, Ming Xiao chuckled, feeling partially satisfied at this moment.
Amid the surprised looks of all those who were afraid, Ming Xiao, wearing a white smiling mask, pounced on them.
If the fear species is an evil that cannot be driven away for all creatures in the heavenly world, then Mingxiao is an evil demon created by the fear species for itself.
From the moment he was born, it was destined that the forces of fear would reach their final destination at dusk.
That day, Ming Xiao's hysterical laughter resounded throughout the city, and he frantically devoured all the fearful creatures he saw to fill his body that had been atomized by elements...
That white smiling mask changed its smile during the killing, sometimes smiling, sometimes laughing wildly, sometimes laughing in a distorted way...it seemed to be reflecting Ming Xiao's emotions at the moment.
The fear species ushered in their fear, the real evil!
