But faced with Cheng Li's almost interrogative words, Gu Xinghe had no intention of answering.
He simply used the spider silk to control Cheng Li's body once again.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe and Serena were practically using Cheng Li's body as a battlefield, vying for control over her.
But after sensing that Gu Xinghe had no intention of paying attention to her, and now this firm rejection.
Serena, however, became even more agitated.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Serena's desire for a "reward" stems from her brother's indifference, rejection, and toughness.
But this time, Serena's agitation did not make her resistance more intense.
On the contrary, in this final counterattack, she acted as if she had simply given up resisting.
"Yes! That's exactly what my brother would do!"
As if relieved, the last remaining consciousness of Serena in Cheng Li's mind also disappeared completely.
And just as Gu Xinghe successfully seized control of Cheng Li,
He saw cracks begin to appear in the space before him, and then, as these cracks grew faster and faster—
With a "bang," the space they were in shattered.
Perhaps it's because the storyline in this fictional town has already come to an end, or perhaps—
At this moment, the true appearance of the insect hive house was presented to Gu Xinghe.
After experiencing this series of events, he finally saw what Serena, the person behind it all, looked like.
She is the manipulator of the insects, the mastermind behind countless fabricated illusions and memories of her brother's past.
She is the swarm itself.
This is the information Gu Xinghe gleaned from Serena the moment he saw her.
Or perhaps—because the real Serena, who was hiding behind the scenes, wanted to see him.
Although Serena seemed to have disappeared at the end of that subspace.
But as the true mastermind, she is naturally not dead yet.
What disappeared before was merely the memory that had been implanted into Cheng Li's mind, along with some remaining consciousness.
Therefore, the Serena who appeared in front of Gu Xinghe at this moment was clearly her true form.
The Serena before them could no longer be described as human.
She had long white hair and a pair of crimson eyes.
At the same time, this also made her pale skin, which was almost the same color as her hair, and her thin body even more endearing.
But if that were all, Gu Xinghe would never have used the term "not human" to describe Serena.
In contrast to her pitiful and endearing upper body, her lower body was disgusting, grotesque, and terrifying.
If Serena's upper body is described as a cute, slender, and childlike woman...
Her lower body, from her abdomen down, was undoubtedly in the form of a black worm.
At first glance, they look no different from the black beetles that Gu Xinghe found in the town.
Because of its effect, which is similar to a proportional magnification, it can even induce a kind of megalophobia in people.
Several black feet extending from beneath her supported her enormous body.
At the same time, one can see a continuous stream of white maggots emerging from beneath her as larvae.
After she saw the group of people appear in front of her, the white larvae beneath Serena began to grow even faster.
His morbid appearance made everyone present feel nauseous.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe stopped observing Serena's thoughts and turned to check on Chu Liang and Cheng Li's condition.
After the three of them were teleported back to the insect hive house in the real world.
Gu Xinghe saw that Cheng Li and Chu Liang, who had been separated, were now safely beside him.
And when using mind-reading skills to read Chu Liang's past experiences.
Gu Xinghe further learned that as he and Cheng Li, who was influenced by Serena's memories, were developing various dramatic and unpredictable events.
Chu Liang, on the other hand, was sitting peacefully at home in the house next door as an innocent neighbor, and did not encounter any danger.
But then, after safely returning to the real world and realizing the consequences of his actions.
Chu Liang's expression kept changing.
If the circumstances allowed, Gu Xinghe would even like to describe to him the scene when he was actually dressed as a woman before.
But even without Gu Xinghe's assist.
At this moment, Chu Liang was experiencing a series of negative emotions, including embarrassment, shame, and despair.
Fortunately, the three of them are now facing Serena.
At this point, Chu Liang was able to force himself to survive the immediate dangers and difficulties.
"Selina?"
At this moment, Gu Xinghe spoke up as if to confirm something, asking Serena a question.
"It's me, brother."
However, upon returning to reality, and even realizing that Gu Xinghe had not been affected by Camos's memories at all, he was still in a state of mutual understanding.
Serena was still calling Gu Xinghe "brother".
Or rather, the reason for this outcome should be because before Gu Xinghe and his group were pulled into that fictional town from ten years ago.
Serena has already drawn many people into that place, repeatedly enacting the script where the brother is destined to fall in love with his sister in the end.
This is likely the reason why everyone who entered the insect hive house disappeared at the time.
After Serena implanted memories about Camos into those people, they naturally followed the "plot" based on those memories in their minds.
However, this approach clearly failed to satisfy Serena, who had been rejected by her brother in the real past.
Because according to her script, the brother who is destined to fall in love with his sister in the end is obviously not her real brother.
Therefore, now, faced with Gu Xinghe's rejection and resistance, Serena feels that this is the true image of her brother in her memory.
Serena, who has a strange constitution, clearly mistook Gu Xinghe, who had been rejecting her, for her brother Camos.
The key point is not about appearance or memory.
Rather, it is the most profound impression of being "rejected" that remains in the memory that has been worn away by time.
Perhaps, during this long process of pollution and bizarre erosion, the real Serena had already died long ago.
She is now in this half-human, half-insect state only because she is influenced by the last bit of Serena's memory.
All that remains is Serena's memory of her brother.
Because she can manipulate others at will, she now feels that Gu Xinghe, who has always rejected her, is her brother.
After all, in her last remaining memory, her brother had always rejected her existence.
"Since you consider me your brother, how about I devour you?"
However, looking at Serena, who was clearly completely broken and collapsed, Gu Xinghe obviously had no intention of replacing her.
