With the issue of the Dark Curse temporarily resolved, Lin Feng turned his gaze to the digital egg on the table.

After a moment's thought, he placed the fist-sized digital egg on his chest, then stored it inside his surging nanotech combat suit, close to his chest skin.

Let the digital egg absorb the dark curse and demonic power.

As for the remaining problems, Lin Feng was no longer worried. As long as he had enough Nightmare Points Curse, he could take his time to exchange for Gene Potions and Gene Locks.

"Enter the rated mission world first, then go to the Corpse Curse mission world."

Having finalized his plan and replenished some medicine and supplies, Lin Feng opened his personal information interface.

"Participants have activated the basic strength rules, which can improve their personal rating."

"Individual ratings can be improved, but rating tasks must be completed independently."

"Currently activated rated mission worlds: Any corrupted world, any demon world."

Demon World?

Without hesitation, he confirmed it, and a line about the world of demons appeared before his eyes.

"Selection complete, matching in progress, matching complete."

"Dark Crusade, Castlevania, Devil May Cry, Demon's Soul, Blasphemy."

"Randomly entering a mission world."

Before he could examine them closely, the names of the five mission worlds began to change rapidly, then suddenly stopped, and the three large characters "Castlevania" appeared before his eyes.

"Match successful, Castlevania: Lord of Shadows."

Just as Lin Feng's curiosity about this mission world began to stir, his vision suddenly went black, and he was pulled into a dark space.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... He felt as if he had breathed a million times in this area, until he suddenly heard the sound of pages turning rapidly in his ears. Only then did he realize that deep in the dark space he was in, there was a crimson book that was constantly turning its pages.

The books kept enlarging in front of him, the pages filled with various words and patterns, but all he could see were a pair of bloodshot eyes.

The next instant, his body seemed to be embedded in a crimson ocean, washed by the boundless blood-red seawater to the front of a dark city.

Castlevania!

A vast city interspersed with countless modern buildings and towering Gothic-style spires.

A moon, magnified many times, hung in the sky behind the city. Countless tiny black dots flew across the city under the moonlight and disappeared into the boundless black clouds.

Lin Feng slowly stood up from the seawater, and the sticky water droplets dripping from his hands quickly formed a line of text on the beach.

Location: Castlevania

"Task: Learn any Demon-type skill (0/2). You can return to Nightmare Space at any time after completing the task."

"Unable to use escape items."

"Mission begins."

Whoosh!

The seawater surged in again, and Lin Feng's body was slowly propelled forward. He suddenly smelled the salty, damp scent on the tip of his nose as he stepped onto the sand.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

A cacophony of horn blared from behind the rocky coastline, and in the distance, a beam of light shone from the shadows beyond the moonlight's reach, followed by several muffled gunshots.

As the sea breeze blew by, the echoes of gunshots reverberated in Lin Feng's ears. He turned to look at the sea.

The ocean, which had previously been filled with thick, bloody water, had returned to normal, but the surface under the moonlight appeared even deeper, exuding a chilling sense of dread amidst its calm.

The sound of the waves rising and falling, and at a glance, it seemed that something was hidden underneath, ready to emerge at any moment.

Bang bang bang!

As the gunshots drew closer, Lin Feng glanced around casually, then quickly walked behind a rock to conceal himself, looking in the direction of the gunshots.

A man and a woman climbed out of a rock one after the other. The man, holding a knife, quickly jumped down from the rock. The woman, holding a shotgun, turned around and fired two shots before jumping into the man's arms and running away together.

"Walk!"

The two men forced themselves to remain calm, their throats gurgling as they ran towards the rocky outcrops along the shore.

Lin Feng peeked out and watched the two figures disappear among the rocks. His gaze was immediately drawn to the rock where they had just stood.

A twisted, horned head emerged from the rock, bearing some human-like features. A curved, pointed horn adorned the left side of the head, and its protruding eyes emitted a faint yellow glow. The area below the nose was elongated, causing the chin and sharp teeth to protrude from the lips, somewhat resembling a sheep's skull with the flesh scraped off.

"The Goat-Headed Demon Who Failed to Mutate"

The goat-headed demon crawled out of the rock, its huge palm revealing rows of holes pierced by blood. Then, it frantically sniffed the scent left by the two people and continued to chase after them in the direction they had fled.

However, he soon discovered another peculiar smell. On this beach, there wasn't just the two humans, but something even more unique...!

The goat-headed demon stopped in his tracks. The scent excited him even more than if he had discovered humans. Uncontrollably, he took two backward-bending steps and rushed toward Lin Feng.

Have you ever seen a monster like this?

"No."

"What about the West? Demons, vampires, werewolves, or the like?"

"without."

After Lin Feng finished asking Gui Ke in his mind, the goat-headed demon appeared in front of him. Its mouth, which had countless sharp teeth, opened to its limit in an instant and bit at his head.

At this moment, Hong Linggui's hands slowly approached, radiating a bone-chilling cold, and grabbed the ram-headed demon's mouth.

The ice instantly trapped the goat-headed demon's head, but its hand still managed to grab it.

With the blade drawn and the dragon's tail lashing out, the ram-headed demon's head immediately fell from the empty space above and rolled to Lin Feng's feet.

Nightmare Points +2

Two points... A failed mutation of a goat-headed demon. In comparison, a successfully mutated goat-headed demon might have 5 points. A monster with 5 nightmare points is one that he needs to take seriously.

Looking at the dying sheep's head at his feet, Lin Feng raised the tablet in his hand and turned to Ironclad 99, who was frantically processing data beside him.

"Commander, data processing complete!"

Ironclad 99 emitted a crisp sound, sending all the data at once.

First, there was the mission world data. After reading the names and general backgrounds of the Ironclad 99 placed at the top, Lin Feng immediately felt a pang in his heart.

The appearance of any one of Dracula, Death, and Satan would be a disaster, let alone the three of them in one play. Even when Dracula is weakened, mortals are still mortals in his eyes.

"Commander, we have successfully infiltrated the Castlevania city network. A poison gas leak has occurred within the city, causing 70% of the human population to mutate. Currently, about 5% of the human population has fled the city, and the remaining population is expected to be affected by the poison gas in 20 minutes."

The tablet displayed images of the city, with countless mutated goat-headed demons wreaking havoc, while human soldiers wearing strange exoskeletons tried to stop them from escaping the poisonous gas.

After quickly swiping through the screen, Lin Feng's gaze settled on a towering black spire that seemed to reach into the clouds.

If you only look at the shape of this spire, you might not feel anything special, but when placed among other buildings, you can clearly feel a kind of minimalist luxury.

To be specific, it means painting the cyberpunk tower Arasaka black and placing it among a bunch of Gothic buildings.

The lair of Death God Zobek.

Death is constantly watching Dracula, and behind Dracula is a son who guides him at all times. Satan, the only one who fights alone, has not yet been summoned, but he is not someone to be trifled with.

Getting close to any one of them means risking your life.

In addition, there is a God who hides his face and never appears.

Lin Feng simply sat down on a rock, watching the various images gradually appear on the tablet, and his mind gradually shifted away from completing the task.

You cannot use escape items; you can only escape by learning demon-type skills...

According to the surveillance footage, there were no changes outside the plot; this world seemed to belong solely to him, unaffected by the other participants...
