Liang Jing's husband, Weng Zichen, is a famous artist in the city. He is thin and elegant, with a strong artistic temperament, and mainly engages in sculpture creation.

From the beginning, they seemed inappropriate. Liang Jing was a biological researcher, busy with work, staying in the laboratory all day long, with a strong, serious and cold personality, and no interest in art; while Weng Zichen had a bit of a crazy temperament, was a playboy, loved drinking, didn't care about anything when he was creating, and spent money without restraint. No matter how you look at it, these two people are the most incompatible couple in the world, but they came together because of various coincidences.

After getting married, faced with all kinds of family matters, the clash of their personalities became more and more intense, and soon the conflict escalated, leading to infidelity and domestic violence. The couple became enemies, quarreling or fighting every day. Liang Tian even had a fight with his brother-in-law. Seeing that their marriage was beyond redemption, they each hired a lawyer to file for divorce, but the divorce lawsuit was stuck on the division of property, and neither of them was willing to give in.

After Liang Tian passed away, Liang Jing's emotions collapsed. She simply lived in the dormitory of the Institute of Biology and stopped going home, trying to numb herself with work.

Now, the address Liang Jing gave was the Biological Research Institute, and she also said that Weng Zichen was also there. This could only mean that Weng Zichen couldn't stand her avoiding him anymore, so he went to the unit in person to talk.

The point is, how did Weng Zichen turn into a snake? According to Li Yuebai's speculation about the current situation, humans are at most possessed by dormant bodies and turned into vampires, so how can they turn into snakes?

Li Yuebai and Ye Qing rushed to the research institute as quickly as possible and found Liang Jing's laboratory.

When I pushed the door open, I saw snakes everywhere.

The biological research institute has experimental animals such as mice, rabbits, and pigeons, and it is as lively as a breeding farm. Liang Jing's laboratory specializes in the research of anti-venom serum. There are not only many snakes, but also a variety of species, such as spectacled cobras, five-step snakes, and bamboo-leaf pit vipers. However, these snakes are usually kept in glass cabinets. How come they are all out now?

It turned out that all the glass cabinets were broken.

Not only was the glass cabinet broken, but the test bench, swivel chair, computer, glassware... and other tools were also broken and fell over. The whole laboratory was in a mess, with bright red bloodstains on the floor. At first glance, it looked like it had been blown by a hurricane.

Two people stood in the middle of the laboratory.

One was Liang Jing. She was wearing a white coat. Her slender body stood upright without moving. Her expression was confused and dull, completely lacking her usual strong look. Her eyes stared blankly ahead, and she blinked only once in a long time, with her lips slightly parted.

Obviously, this is the expression of entering a hallucination!

Li Yuebai recalled the little girl who was briefly controlled by Countess Karnstein. Her expression was exactly the same as Liang Jing's now!

Not far away from Liang Jing, there stood another person.

Weng Zichen, a famous artist in this city, has a photo of him in Li Yuebai's memory. When comparing the photos, it is indeed the same person. But the closer he gets, the more he feels something is wrong - there seems to be a faint pattern of scales emerging on his exposed arm, and his whole temperament has completely changed, becoming cold and terrifying.

Weng Zichen had a crazy expression on his face, staring straight at Liang Jing - his eyes no longer looked like human eyes, but like snake eyes, with vertical pupils.

Li Yuebai finally understood what Liang Jing meant by "My husband turned into a snake."

“Hahahahahaha…” Weng Zichen suddenly laughed wildly, revealing his sharp teeth and a forked tongue. He pointed his scaly finger at Liang Jing and shouted in an unclear and cold voice, “Liang Jing, you vicious woman, I’ve been fed up with you for a long time. Now, I’ve finally found a chance for revenge!”

"Who are you?" Li Yuebai drew out his knife and held it across his body. Then he carefully avoided the poisonous snakes running around on the ground and walked towards Weng Zichen step by step, asking about the identity of the vampire.

"Lilith." Weng Zichen changed his voice and replied, "I am the snake demon Lilith."

Lilith?

Li Yuebai recalled the introduction he saw in the book "Blood Charm Examination".

After all, it is a book from the Ming Dynasty, and the translation of the name is different from now. "Blood Charm" mentioned a kind of vampire named "Snake Girl Li Lisi", which should be this one. She is half human and half snake, and has no special preference for sucking blood, but her illusion-making ability is stronger than other types of vampires.

In mythology, Lilith is also quite famous. She is rumored to be an evil god, a goddess, a devil, and Adam's first wife... She has played various roles in various races, so that the information is confusing and no one can tell exactly what she is.

There was a click, the sound of bullets being loaded, and the gun in Ye Qing's hand was already aimed at Weng Zichen.

"Want to shoot? Hahahaha, how dare you?" Weng Zichen laughed wildly again, making a hissing sound: "Don't you see that this woman has fallen into the illusion I created? If I die, she will also be affected and become insane, or even die with me!"

Li Yuebai had to admit that this was indeed possible.

He just didn't understand what Weng Zichen's purpose was. Didn't he hate his wife? Why didn't he kill her directly, but dragged her into the illusion?

"Why?" Li Yuebai calmly sheathed the knife: "Lilith, or Weng Zichen, what is your purpose?"

"Purpose? Humph, I just want Liang Jing to admit her mistakes to me!" Weng Zichen's voice was a little out of tune, and he was emotional: "She has never respected me, and has never respected my art!"

Li Yuebai's head suddenly went into a state of confusion.

Although he taught Chinese, he never had the sentimentality that a scholar should have, and he was always an idiot when it came to emotional issues.

The two vampires he met before both had clear purposes, so he could see through and understand them.

But this time, he was too emotional! He was possessed and turned into a half-human, half-snake vampire, with powerful abilities, and what he wanted to do was to make his wife apologize? Aren't they already divorced because of a broken relationship and domestic violence? Wouldn't it be better for the ghosts to go their separate ways?

There are many kinds of artists, some are rational, utilitarian and practical, while others are emotional. Weng Zichen is exactly the latter, and his persistence in art makes this emotionality even more intense.

"I...Oh my God, what should I do!" Liang Jing's dull eyes revealed a hint of anxiety, as if the illusion in front of her was something she could not solve.

"I gave her a question in the illusion." Weng Zichen sneered, "As long as she answers correctly, I will let her go."

Judging from Liang Jing's expression, she had no idea what to answer.

Li Yuebai probably understood what this meant.

He had watched an anime before he traveled through time, and there was a scene in it where the gods used an illusion to test the hero. In the illusion, the hero held a gun in his hand, and three of his closest people appeared in front of him. He had to choose two of them to kill...

Few people can pass this kind of illusion test.

I wonder what kind of illusion test Liang Jing is facing?

Whatever it was, she was clearly desperate.

"System, come out, come out." Li Yuebai called the system.

"Hello, host. How may I help you?" The system's voice sounded fake.

"Let me enter the illusion as well." Li Yuebai said concisely and clearly.

Weng Zichen's emotional behavior brought Li Yuebai an excellent opportunity - there was no need to make a big fuss, as long as he could find ways to help Liang Jing solve the problem in the illusion, he would be halfway to success.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away. Please walk forward a few steps." This time the system agreed readily.

In fact, as long as you are close enough to Weng Zichen, you can be pulled into the illusion he created. All the system can do is to isolate Weng Zichen from his perception of Li Yuebai's actions, making him mistakenly believe that Liang Jing is the only one in the illusion who is solving the problem independently.

Li Yuebai made a reassuring gesture to Ye Qing and took a few steps forward.

Soon, he also fell into the illusion like Liang Jing, and there was a vast expanse of white all around him. After a while, the white mist dissipated, and the surrounding area revealed the appearance of an exhibition hall.

White walls, white ceiling, golden sunlight shining through the window, everything seemed so real. The only thing that reminded him that this was an illusion was the fact that the ground was still crawling with poisonous snakes, just like in the laboratory.

Maybe Weng Zichen didn't have time to transform the ground as well?

Thinking this, Li Yuebai walked towards Liang Jing, who was standing in the middle of the exhibition room, at a loss.

"Sister Liang, how are you now?" Li Yuebai walked up to her and greeted her softly.

Liang Jing was startled, but when she came to her senses and saw that it was him, she was slightly relieved. She sighed and said, "What should I do? Why did Weng Zichen bring me to this damn place? Shouldn't I be in the laboratory? What's going on? Where is this?"

"This is an illusion he created." Li Yuebai explained.

"Illusion? I'm a scientist, I can't believe this nonsense." Liang Jing said in disbelief.

"Is it scientific that your husband has become like this?" Li Yuebai sighed. In fact, he is also a materialist, but since he traveled through time, he can't help but believe in all kinds of unscientific existences.

"He... I don't know what happened to him." Liang Jing's tone was filled with fear: "First he came to the lab to argue with me and fought, and then he became like this..."

"I'll tell you the reason for the change later." Li Yuebai said, "The first problem now is to get out of this illusion."

"How can I get out?" Liang Jing looked around anxiously: "There is no door here."

"You have to solve the questions given to you by Weng Zichen." Li Yuebai said seriously.

"Topic? I don't even know where the topic is!" Liang Jing almost collapsed.

"Wait, I just got here and I need to observe it carefully." Li Yuebai looked around - the exhibition room was not big, with a few sculptures placed inside, and nothing else.

The sculptures are all made of white plaster, which makes them look particularly strange.

"Do these sculptures have any special meaning in your married life?" Li Yuebai asked.

"I'm not interested in sculpture, so I can't remember anything." Liang Jing replied: "Weng Zichen is an art madman, and sculpture is his life... Oh, right! I remember it now!"

"What?"

"I once smashed several of his sculptures when we had a fight!" Liang Jing said anxiously, "It was this plaster sculpture. I guess he still feels resentful about it..."
