Cthulhu: I Created the Monster Sequence

Several days later, the undercurrents in Beiling City quieted.

Li Yuan and the raven entered a café where an elegant middle-aged man packed luggage.

The Wall-Walker turned. "The Master granted me a month's leave. I'm preparing for... an exhilarating journey."

"A journey of romantic encounters! Young maidens await a gentleman's arrival. Imagine—eighteen-year-olds, brimming with curiosity, yearning for mystery and drama!"

"Ah, reborn and refined, I shall captivate their hearts! *Romantic encounter!*"

"And you two?" the Wall-Walker asked.

"We seek Master Os," the raven replied.

"Too late. The Master's gone—vanished without a trace. A spontaneous adventure, matching my own refined tastes!"

"Did he leave any instructions?"

"Hmm... He said you're like freshly glazed porcelain: shiny but worthless. True value requires time and trials."

"Seek breakthroughs—physical and spiritual!"

Li Yuan frowned. "The Master's exact words?"

"Of course! Oh, No.001—check his room. He left something for you."

After shooing them out, the Wall-Walker departed. "People live for beautiful women!"

Alone, the raven-girl transformed and flew through Chen Ye's window. Inside, an enormous sunflower-like plant dominated the room—its petals studded with eyes.

Vines lashed out, ensnaring her. Thorns pierced her legs as she screamed. "Release me! I'm the Master's pet!"

Desperate, she mimicked Chen Ye's voice. The plant recoiled, vines loosening.

"Close call..." She eyed the monstrosity. "Should I uproot it?"

Exploring further, she found a cabinet of labeled potions. A black vial caught her eye—**Secret-Stealer**.

*Master knew I love black!* She sipped the sweet, minty liquid.

Agony seized her. Her vision darkened—eyes now pure obsidian. Naked and disoriented, she heard whispers:

Transforming into an eagle, she soared toward the desperate plea.

The Secret-Stealer Elixir!
