“Did you see today’s headline? The seawater turned purple. It’s so romantic!”
In the coffee shop, his girlfriend waves her phone, then glances at Lin Yuan with a sneer. “You can’t even afford a sea-view apartment. How are you going to marry me?”
Lin Yuan looks out the window at the dazzling purple clouds, which reek of death. Without hesitation, he splashes the ice water in front of him in her face and walks out.
Romantic? Before long, this purple fog will engulf Blue Star and trigger a global psychic storm! Humanity will go mad, while insects mutate into “parasites” capable of infesting human bodies!
Reborn on the eve of the disaster, Lin Yuan maxes out every credit card he has, frantically fortifies his stronghold, and stockpiles supplies. He even clears out every insect-pet shop in the city!
When the apocalypse arrives and all humanity wails in despair beneath the energy of Cthulhu, a string of frantic synthesis notifications rings out from Lin Yuan’s safe house:
[Ding! Explosive Parasite + Regeneration Parasite + Shooting Parasite… mixed-use recipe detected!]
When the Old Ones’ minions tear through the defenses, Lin Yuan raises his right arm, inlaid with the Nine Immortal Gu, and snaps his fingers with a smile. “Witness what it means for flesh to be weak and the Immortal Gu to ascend!”
