"Hmm..." Lin Feng nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know where those two people in the car went to have fun?"

The driver quickly replied, "I know, I know, my friend took them to a hotel near Shilin Night Market!"

Essentially, when choosing to enter a mission world, everyone aims to earn Nightmare Points with minimal risk. Under this mindset, when faced with adversarial missions, they often selectively abandon them based on resistance and conflict, thus ensuring that they can still obtain some benefits.

The fact that these two people left the team early suggests either that they recognized their own abilities or that something unexpected happened during the mission that caused them to abandon it.

Furthermore, it can be confirmed from the driver that the three tattooed participants had been to this mission world before, and were even planning to use the method of raising fierce ghosts in haunted houses and polluted water to enhance their strength.

If one can return to the world they've visited in previous missions, they will return to the same world more often, using the time difference between mission worlds to raise sufficiently ferocious demons...

It truly makes the best use of resources!

"Come on, take me back to Xiushui Lane."

After a long silence, the driver didn't dare to ask any more questions and waited obediently until Lin Feng spoke. Only then did he turn his wandering gaze back and put on a smile: "Okay, boss."

The two got into the car, and the scenery outside began to rush past. A soft breeze kept blowing in from the car window, prompting Lin to close his eyes and start to review the details of this mission again.

In Mission 1, he has already obtained 80 Nightmare Points, 30 from Ye Qidong and 50 from Dongmu. He needs to find a ghost with sufficient strength to get the remaining 20 points.

The second task is to find the source of the ghostly threads. Presumably, the mother and child ghosts are in that unfinished building, and they are being raised by those people.

He only completed 2 of the 3rd task of clearing out ghosts. It is estimated that the schoolgirl killed at least 5, and the old man probably killed one more than him.

The total reward is 500 points. If he completes this mission, he can get at least 600 Nightmare Points. Whether he uses them to improve his physical body or enhance his demonic power, it is an irresistible choice.

Currently, there are four people involved in the unfinished building incident, and a conflict has broken out with them. It's highly likely that the remaining three will receive the news and come to their aid...

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes. A gentle breeze blew outside the car, and an extremely thin thread floated out from his chest, shining through the light and becoming exceptionally clear in his eyes.

Aside from the participants' issues, there's the sinister connection that's been there from the beginning. This connection isn't just for show; eventually, two ghosts will definitely come knocking...

Wait, something's not right!!!

Lin Feng suddenly realized something, his eyes widened, and he stared intently at the eerie silk.

He overlooked a possibility, a possibility that had been presented to him from the very beginning.

Nightmare Space does not have any missions that are guaranteed to kill you. In other words, even if Nightmare Space sets two teams as enemies, there is no requirement for them to complete the missions against each other.

However, the monstrous silk connecting them is a death countdown, meaning they were on the verge of death from the very beginning.

If this isn't part of the Nightmare Space setting... then it's highly likely that the ghosts made their own decision to... lure another team over there!

The best way to find the source of the eerie threads in the second task is to follow them. However, after realizing that the task had long since deviated from the original plot, Lin Feng dismissed the idea from his mind.

Now that I think about it again, the ghosts aren't NPCs. They're being controlled, and they might make choices to save themselves based on the changes!

Just then, Lin Feng, who was staring blankly at the strange silk in front of him, suddenly received a series of blood-red mission prompts.

"Mission Four: Rescue Chen Yaoxi and his mother. Mission Reward: 300 Nightmare Points."

"Killing any member of an opposing team will reward you with 10 Nightmare Points."

"Shared tasks".

Bang!

Lin Feng's mind exploded with thoughts. Looking at the mission prompt that popped up in front of him, everything connected into a single line in his mind.

The real key to this mission was actually the Ghost Silk. Chen Yaoxi and his mother knew they wouldn't attack first, so they used the Ghost Silk to put pressure on them. The ghosts that attacked them were also used by the mother and son to muddy the waters.

No... it could also be a test, a test by the mother and son to see if there are any skilled participants in the other team!

And ultimately...

A glint of light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

Soon, he returned to the old building, had the driver park the car on a street corner away from the old building, and walked back alone.

As Lin Feng entered the building, he pushed open the half-open door. The student girl, who was sitting quietly on the old sofa, turned her gaze toward him as the door opened.

Where's the old man?

Lin Feng glanced at the old man's location, walked to the student's side, picked up his water bottle, took a sip, put it down, and turned to ask, "Did the old man go out?"

The student girl's gaze followed Lin Feng the whole time, and she nodded after Lin Feng asked her a question.

Is he unwilling to speak, or is he mute?

Lin Feng sized up the schoolgirl but didn't voice his doubts. Ghosts are taciturn, like the Red Spirit Ghost; they only react when asked the crucial questions.

Fortunately, Louis gave him a ghost training manual, which recorded some things about Red Ghost, allowing him to gain Red Ghost's trust more quickly.

Did he say where he was going?

Lin Feng tried asking, and the schoolgirl pointed to a note on the table, indicating that Lin Feng should look at it himself.

Reaching out, I picked up the folded note on the table. As soon as I unfolded it, the few lines of text brought to mind the old man's smug face.

"Kid, this old man's hiding, hehe~"

The note still had fingerprints left by oil stains, which made Lin Feng's eyes twitch. He even pictured an old man eating a chicken leg and writing or drawing on it with a pen in his mind.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Lin Feng tossed down the note and looked up to ask the female student.

The student girl didn't react; she just stared straight at Lin Feng with a smile that held an unsettling meaning.

After waiting a moment, Lin Feng raised his hand and shared the four missions with the student girl. The bright red text gradually appeared as the student girl's gaze moved, until all the Nightmare Points rewards appeared. The student girl's eyes immediately became burning.

300 + 500 + 100 + 7 * 10 = 970.

The gains from this mission will definitely boost her strength significantly!

The schoolgirl's aura immediately became restless. She stood up abruptly, staring at the strange silk in front of her, ready to chase after it.

“There were seven of them. Two left, one is in contact with the government, and the remaining four are probably raising ghosts. If you go alone... you'll die a horrible death.” Lin Feng said, word by word, picking up the note left by the old man, restoring it to the way it was folded before the old man left, and throwing it in the middle of the table.

"There are only two of us. If we go like this, I'm afraid we have no chance of winning."

The female student stopped and turned her head. Her restless eyes gradually calmed down, and she looked at Lin Feng with a hint of expectation.

Ignoring the student girl's gaze, Lin Feng leaned back, sinking his entire body into the worn-out sofa.

The rusty springs inside the sofa creaked and groaned under pressure. After a while, sunlight gradually streamed in through the window, dispelling the lingering chill in the building and bringing warmth.

The schoolgirl gracefully dodged the sunlight, standing in a dark corner where the sun couldn't reach her, as if she didn't exist, without making a sound.
