A year ago,

Under the guidance of a certain being, Teacher Guo came to the edge area of the Middle Layer to determine the location of Vortex Town.

At that time, there were only three students by his side, all of whom he encountered on the road and who managed to control the comics within them thanks to Teacher Guo's guidance.

Eternal Dream. Dormo

June 6th. Jin Zho

Fashion Model. Song Huiwen

Back then, Miss Song was completely different from now.

She inherited her previous profession, bringing her figure, temperament, and appearance into this too. She was adept at disguise, showing no trace of a monster's features.

This appearance brought her quite a bit of trouble, but she was very clever, always able to use others' infatuation to counterattack.

She even received a business card from the "Screaming Inn."

Unfortunately, after having contact with the comic store, she couldn't join such a formal organization, and most importantly, she couldn't fully master the comic itself.

It wasn't until she met Teacher Guo that she finally stabilized,

Her source of fear was simple. As a child, her house was filled with many brothers and sisters who played a very niche monster movie.

The production was rough, using a lot of blood and various ripping scenes. Even slightly older children could see through its falseness,

But at just five years old, Song Huiwen was able to imagine incredibly realistic scenes, and the monster images took deep root in her brain.

When she became a professional model, and discovered that she was treated by "the rules" yet couldn't attain the status she deserved, the monster inside her emerged, wiping out her entire company.

...

Teacher Guo led the three earliest students to Vortex Town, beginning the creation of the organization, with newcomers such as Katayama, Black and White, and Wu Wen joining during this time.

Meanwhile, Teacher Guo came up with a "plan."

Besides the obvious need to gather enough students for a dungeon exploration to meet the organization's standards,

He also needed to conduct "early" exploration and research on the Outer Realm.

The main influence area of the Outer Realm is in the "Corner's Deep Layers," but right now they simply can't reach it, so there is only one path available.

This path lies within the Abyss inside each comic holder's pituitary gland.

The Abyss is something that comes after acceptance of the comics, a kind of connecting passage.

Influences from the Outer Realm continuously surge out from the depths, affecting the Corner System, constantly pulling at the individuals' subconsciousness, and without caution, one might fall into it.

Teacher Guo's "methods" can minimize the Abyss's influence, ensuring students won't fall into it.

Now,

To explore the secrets of the Outer Realm, someone needs to maintain their stance within the Corner while actively approaching the Abyss and venture as deeply as possible to see what lies on the "other side."

Teacher Guo cannot be this pioneer,

As the organization leader, he has many responsibilities, and he doesn't rely on comics. For him, comics only serve as a tool, and the vortex is his innate ability.

Therefore, he needs to choose a student.

A student with the highest affinity for the comics, whose fear ability complements it, and who remains steadfast in their stance... this was Miss Song.

Her monster form has become increasingly perfected under the comics' influence.

After an entire night of conversation, Miss Song accepted the task, largely out of gratitude and trust in Teacher Guo.

She understood the dangers better than anyone.

Teacher Guo had also clearly stated that if Miss Song completely succumbs to it and cannot be saved, the organization would directly remove her.

Despite this, she still decided.

From that day, Song Huiwen devoted her energy to descending into the Abyss, her consciousness reaching the depths of the pituitary space, coming to the edge of the Abyss.

Without carrying any equipment.

Becoming an avatar of a monster,

She inserts her claws into the wall, descending a certain distance each day.

During her breaks, she returns to reality to report the details of her descent and the influences she experienced to Teacher Guo.

Bit by bit, time passed,

Her mental state deteriorated during this process,

One day, she became unable to distinguish between "humans and monsters," her model appearance gradually leaning towards monstrosity.

Beauty and temperament, her innate traits, were erased by the Abyss, turning her into a monster that others fear upon sight.

But she persisted in going to Teacher Guo's office, detailing the voices she heard, her changes, and the pituitary anomalies to be used as research material.

After each report, Teacher Guo would ask if she wanted to stop the deepening journey.

And Song Huiwen always had one reply,

"When you feel I'm nearing the brink of collapse, let me stop then... stopping now would make me feel unfulfilled... I've persisted for so long."

...

Currently,

A large amount of exploration and research reports on the Abyss are piled up in Teacher Guo's office drawer, the subsequent achievements are evident.

It is precisely these achievements and the performance in the Mutated Dungeon that led the Corner to grant the permissions of a [Special Organization], establishing Vortex Town as a critical strategic location against the Outer Realm.

Song Huiwen stopped exploring the Abyss four months ago; she had reached her current limit, having blurred the lines between human and monster.

At the same time,

She also bears a special title.

[The Student Closest to the Abyss]

Upon Yu Ze's arrival, he immediately spotted her problem and proactively engaged with her, which Teacher Guo endorsed.

By drinking large amounts of special talismanic water,

And sticking a Clearing God Talisman every night while sleeping on sunlit earth with high yang energy,

Various methods stabilized Song Huiwen's mental state considerably.

However,

This stability was shattered by a pumpkin.

...

While savoring a pumpkin pie, Yu Ze telepathically asked, "Teacher Guo, should we stop her? If Miss Song continues like this, she might completely fall."

Teacher Guo was utterly unconcerned, "If she would fall from this extent, I would have killed her long ago. Her understanding of the Abyss is far deeper than ours; she knows exactly what she's doing."

"Alright."

[Pumpkin Field]

Completely scarecrow transformed, the forbidden punishment has already been completed, which should have been irreversible.

The elder responsible for carving the pumpkin head was suddenly murdered.

A terrifying scream completely shattered the pumpkin on the scarecrow's head,

revealing a peculiar skull. Although the edges were full of straw, the center showed an abyss structure.

Inside that abyss, something was slowly crawling out.

The residents grabbed hay forks, ready to fight.

At this moment,

a "hand" stretched out.

Before the hay forks could attack, this "hand" had already swept across, slicing dozens of residents into minced meat.

The arm dangled to the ground, measuring over seven meters long.

The fingers and the back of the hand were covered with chaotic, razor-sharp claw structures, neither resembling metal nor nails... but a kind of abyssal rock.

Immediately after,

a second hand stretched out,

a third,

a fourth,

each arm exceeding seven meters in length, the longest reaching ten meters, with varied and twisted forms, yet all possessing significant destructive power.

Currently,

four arms clutched the face's abyss edge, trying to pry the exit open.

So that her true form could slowly crawl out.

A monster head without eyes,

with an exposed brain emerged first,

the surface of the brain astonishingly covered with talismans, connected by red chalk lines, which were maintaining the stability of her consciousness.

The finally squeezed out bloated body was nearly thirty meters long, its stabilizing tail heavily landing on the field, crushing mature pumpkins around.

It seemed it had been long since such a form was exhibited.

Miss Song herself was unwilling to present this ugly form.

The psychic pain made her open her mouth wide. In the depths of that gaping mouth, a woman sculpted like jade could be faintly seen, in great pain but helpless.

Currently,

due to the mass killing of residents, a severe violation! Countless pumpkin vines surged from the ground, attempting to bind the monster's body. There was also a large amount of straw conjured within the monster.

However,

Ah!!!

Abyssal shriek,

the waves of sound spread, shattering every pumpkin vine, and turning the straw inside into dust. Through a powerful metabolism, the impurities were promptly expelled.

The entire pumpkin field was destroyed under this scream.

The monster sniffed the air and headed towards the town, which was the most important area, with teachers and students dining in the city.

Upon seeing the somewhat out-of-control Miss Song approaching the town, everyone was at least a bit anxious.

However,

Lebeite was quite excited. He hadn't had enough fun, never expecting such a powerful monster hidden among the students.

Such physique, such strength, such mutation,

it's undoubtedly the influence of the Outer Realm.

He was ready to intervene, as soon as the monster approached, he would act.

However.

Just as the monster was about to approach the town, it smelled another scent and suddenly halted.

In the pumpkin field she had destroyed, some transformation was occurring.

All the crushed delicious pumpkins were gathering towards the bodies of the slain residents under the influence of pumpkin vines,

soon,

a perfectly pumpkin-shaped head of [Frank] appeared,

holding a dinner knife, he carved a human face on his pumpkin head on the spot, a slightly accented youthful voice came out:

"Is this the power of the Outer Realm? You seem to have fused well, yet you are very troubled... Although I can't beat you, you also can't go to the town.

People are currently savoring the pumpkin I'll make, and this delicious appreciation cannot be disturbed.

Do you want to taste it?"

The abyss monster that Miss Song had become immediately locked onto the pumpkin man as the ultimate target,

kicking off with both legs, her enormous body sprung over a hundred meters high, descending from above, aiming to crush the pumpkin man directly.

Boom!

Upon falling,

it felt like the entire land was sinking!

Sadly, what was crushed was just an ordinary scarecrow.

Frank's true body stood right in front of the monster, facing its big, tooth-exposing mouth.

Without panic, he retrieved a pumpkin candy from his waist that he had prepared in advance.

It was still labeled - "Very fresh! Very delicious!"

Crack!

The monster decisively gulped it down.

The pumpkin candy was swallowed as well.

When the warming candy center oozed out, the deliciousness roused Song Huiwen's spirit to reminisce about the past, childhood memories came flooding back.

The once-raging monster gradually calmed down,

the monster's abdomen was also cut open with a dining knife,

Frank, heavily corroded, arduously crawled out, quickly raising his hand to signal, "I forfeit, forfeit! Can't beat it, really can't beat it!"
