As panic spreads, this area of the far north has fallen.

After the fear sweeped, what was left behind was devastated and distorted corpses everywhere.

Mingxiao didn't know why he didn't die, and he didn't care about this, he stayed with his mother, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing.

I cry because of my mother, and I laugh because of my mother.

I never understood my mother's intentions, and laughed because my mother made him laugh like this forever.

That's why his mother gave him this name.

After a day and a night, Mingxiao walked out of the house in a trance with his mother's body in his arms.

However, before he could bury his mother's body, countless black phantoms suddenly pierced the sky and stood in front of him.

A chill hit her bones, and standing in front of these dark shadows, she felt as if her heart had been caught, and even her breathing became sluggish.

"The 9th adaptation, take him away!" At this time, the black shadow at the head spoke.

As his words fell, Silent Smile suddenly felt an invisible force float him and fly into the sky.

Laughter tried to grab his mother, but the force controlled his body and made it impossible for him to resist.

He watched as his mother's body slipped out of his hands and drifted away.

In the days that followed, Stygian was taken into a vast city.

This place is full of dreaded creatures, although they have different forms, their bodies are all condensed by black mist, and their characteristics are obvious.

Eight others were brought here like him.

As for why, they already know.

According to the feared creatures who brought them, they are adaptations and have 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 an adaptation species will be born, and they will be able to adapt to the special fear aura at birth without being affected.

That's what makes Laughter different from other creatures.

According to the description of the Dread Seed that brought them, as long as you can successfully transform your body here, you can join them and become a member of the Dread Seed.

This is their only chance to live.

In the days that followed, Stygian and the other eight were forced to drink the fear liquid every day to transform their bodies.

The process was extremely painful, the suffocating fear lingered in my mind, and the feeling of helplessness was hopeless.

During this time, the fluid that is swallowed into the body continues to erode the flesh, transforming them into elemental bodies.

In the days that followed, there were more "adaptations" in the city.

Some of them are willing to endure the feeling of fear and erosion in order to survive, but some of them resist the transformation of this force like Laughter.

But the result is the same, they can't choose life or death, and they are imprisoned in the city and endure the despair of fear.

The exception to this is Laughter.

All the adapted creatures brought in had hesitation and nervousness on their faces, and only he smiled.

Even in extreme pain, he would 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 Ichor", all the adaptants lay on the ground and struggled and trembled, and there was always laughter in this dark place, which seemed out of place.

This is what Silent Smile promised his mother, and continue to laugh, no matter what he faces.

His anomaly aroused the curiosity of the dreaded creatures, and the smile on Styx's face aroused their disgust.

As fears, they hate smiles and crave faces full of nervousness and hesitation.

Although Stygian may have become one of them, they can't bear it anymore, so they make a move on Stygian.

After drinking the "Fear Elixir" that day, while laughing in pain and laughter, the "examiners" of the fear species who checked their physical condition arrived early.

He mercilessly sliced Smiles' cheeks, peeled off Smiles' entire face, and sealed Smiles' mouth with flesh.

Because he hated smiles, and even more so the twisted smile that Dark Smile showed in pain.

But after peeling off Styls' face, he knew that Styxa would never be able to smile again.

But what Smile did next shocked the examiner.

Silent smile carved a blood mark on his bloody face with his fingers, a smile in a large arc.

This smile is ugly, even disgusting and terrifying, but the smile is to keep laughing, and no one can stop it!

Once a silent smile, his smile was like a spring breeze, bringing a lot of joy to the tribesmen.

But at this moment, the smile of the dark smile looked extremely hideous, like a demon.

His struggle was not only in action, but also in spirit.

There were constant adaptations around him dying because they couldn't bear the ever-increasing pain, but Silent Smile didn't, he continued to laugh, and lived strong with his terrifying smile.

The body gradually dissolves into a black mist, but the performance of the dark smile attracts the attention of the examiner.

After examining Laughter's physical condition, the examiner was surprised to find that this transformation of Laughter did not seem to be entirely in the direction of transformation into the fear species, but rather a condition that had never been seen before.

The fear species feeds on fear, and the body is also made up of a special source of fear.

The process of transforming the body of all fearful creatures into fearful species is the process of transforming into an elemental body, during which it is eroded little by little, and finally replaced by the source of fear, forming a source of fear at the heart and turning into a new life form.

But the elemental body of the laughter is different, in addition to the basic source of fear, there is also a spiritual obsession.

He did not condense the source of fear, but condensed a spiritual force. This spiritual power was like a thread of silk that entwined the source of fear, binding him to Smile's side and allowing his body to complete the transformation.

In other words, if this spiritual power disappears, it is equivalent to the withdrawal of all silk threads, then the body of the smiling will completely disintegrate.

Having witnessed the transformation of a large number of adaptants in many worlds, it was the first time that the Dreadseed creature who was tasked with checking the transformation of adaptors had seen such a strange Dreadseed birth.

But even so, he didn't feel anything wrong.

Because as long as the transformation of the fear seed is completed, Stygian laughter will become one of them, and everything in life will be forgotten, turning into a complete fear seed creature, and opening a new path of memory.

At that time, the laughter was no longer a laughter.

But what he didn't know was that the memory of the smile had not faded in the slightest until this moment, and even though fear was rife all over his body, he had not forgotten what he was holding on......

……

The transformation process is long, and a hundred years are spent in the transformation.

By now, the body of the smile had completely turned into a flickering black mist, and the smile on his face had been lost again.

Now the fears call him: Companion!

The memory of the smile also became erratic after the elementalization, as if it was a cloud that could not be grasped, looming.

Even the memory of my mother has become very vague and is almost gone.

But there is one thing that has not been forgotten, and that is to keep laughing.

This is the blessing that his mother gave him when he was born, and it is also the last message that his mother left for him before leaving, and it is also the obsession and spiritual strength that was born when he transformed into a fear seed.

Other creatures that have been completely transformed into fears have become new beings, eager to devour fear, eager to see creatures struggling in the face of fear.

But Dark Laughter is different from other fears, he doesn't want to consume fear, he just wants to laugh......

However, how can the body that has turned into a black mist smile?

The anomaly of the smile caused displeasure among the examiners.

The other fears were already trying to devour their fears, only Silent Laughter practiced laughter in the dark room, trying to condense their own smiles from the black mist.

Angry censors begin to punish Dark Laughter.

Again and again, the power of fear invaded Silent Smile's body, causing him to feel pain, and he laughed back with wild laughter, but he could no longer smile.

But what the examiner didn't know was that his power only caused pain to Laughter, but it didn't do much damage to Laughter, and this power was instead entangled by the threads of spiritual power and remained in Laughter's body.

In the punishment, Silent Laughter begins to subconsciously devour the negative emotions produced by himself, and also tries to devour the anger generated by the examiner to grow.

After the elemental of the laughter is transformed, it is different, because his body is formed by the spiritual power to bind the source of fear, and it is not a complete fear seed at all.

All emotions can be bound by spiritual power in him and become a source of his strength.

So he doesn't just have one emotion to choose from, "fear".

The power of laughter continued to accumulate during this time, and he endured the anger of the examiner and the negative emotions of his own unwillingness to smile.

Finally one day he broke out.

Having completely turned into a monster, he pounced on the Inspector and began to devour the source of fear in his body, and his spiritual power turned into silk threads and wrapped around the Inspector's black mist body, helping Silent Smile to plunder the source of fear into his body.

That night, the sound of laughter resounded in the ground.

As if he were a natural nemesis, the source of fear would only be a tonic in front of the laughter, and could not cause him any harm, and the inspector's struggle was in vain.

He ate the examiner alive......

It was also on that night that Stygian Smile found that his body had condensed a lot.

At this moment, he suddenly realized one thing, it seemed that eating this kind of thing could slowly grow an elemental entity......

Thinking of this, Styl Smile set his eyes on those who were also underground, already trying to devour their fears.

The killing began, and Styl began to frantically gnaw at these Dreads in order to possess the entity and then smile......

A smile is not just an expression for Shen Xiao, but a source of his spiritual power, and an obsession in a vague memory!

By the time the dreaded creatures discovered the anomalies underground, Stygian had already eaten them all.

The source power of all the dreads in the underground gathered on the body of the Silent Smile.

He tried to condense the entity, but found that these source forces were simply not enough, and he still needed to continue devouring.

That day, the underground gate opened, and the smile 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 molded into a white mask by the laughter and worn on the face.

That should be a smile......

Looking at the outside world, he smiled and smiled, and at this moment he felt partially satisfied.

In the midst of all the frightened and astonished eyes, a dark smile in a white smiling mask pounced on them.

If the Dread Species is an evil demon that cannot be driven away from all the creatures in the Celestial World, then the Laughter is the evil created by the Dread Species for itself.

From the moment he was born, he was destined to reach the end of the twilight of the Dread Species.

On that day, Silent Laughter resounded through the city with hysterical laughter, and he frantically devoured every Dreadseed creature he saw to fill his elemental atomized body......

The white smile mask changed its smile in the midst of the killing, sometimes smiling, sometimes laughing wildly, sometimes laughing distorted...... It seems to be reflecting the mood of the laughter at the moment.

The Dreads have ushered in their own fears, the real demons!
