The Eternal Tower, tenth floor.
The ancient castle that never sleeps, deep within the dungeon.
Splash splash—
The chains clanged together repeatedly, and a dark figure lay prostrate at Ye Bai's feet, its body trembling.
"You were sent by Lord Nightmare, weren't you!"
Ye Bai squatted down, helped the other person up, and asked curiously, "Do you know my older brother?"
"Lord Nightmare is your elder brother... That's wonderful... That's wonderful..."
The shadowy figure raised its head, and Ye Bai was able to see the other person's face clearly.
The Western middle-aged man's face was sharply defined, with a angular, angular appearance. His bright blue pupils were bloodshot, and he looked to be in poor mental condition.
He spoke again, his voice pleading.
"Do you have a way to get us out of here?"
"Before I came, cough cough, my brother didn't explain things very clearly, he just told me to come here."
Ye Bai coughed twice, wanting the other party to explain more clearly.
Nightmare... Ye Bai had never even seen one.
I've privately recognized Nightmare as my older brother. Won't my second brother be angry?
Ye Bai was quite certain that Third Brother had no objections.
Hearing Ye Bai's words, the dark figure nodded tremblingly, about to say something.
A young werewolf nearby suddenly spoke up, his voice laced with sarcasm.
"Ignore that old geezer, he's insane."
As soon as these words were spoken, many people responded.
"That's right, he's been acting strange since this morning, constantly muttering 'Lord Nightmare, Lord Nightmare'..."
"If you ask me, nightmares are utter nonsense, no, not even..."
What followed was abruptly interrupted.
Because a staff pierced his throat, pinning his entire body to the ground, and blood slowly seeped from the wound, taking his life away bit by bit.
The owner of the staff stood beside the corpse, expressionless and indifferent.
The eyes of a werewolf killer cannot be hidden.
brush--
Most of the werewolves began to retreat, distancing themselves from Ye Bai, while threatening growls emanated from their throats and sharp claws appeared, as if facing a formidable enemy.
On the contrary, a small group of 'werewolfs' surrounded Ye Bai in the center, forming a circle around him.
They are not werewolf NPCs, but players from the human race who simply chose the werewolf faction.
They had witnessed everything that had just happened, and they had naturally heard the conversation between Ye Bai and the shadowy werewolf.
He addressed the supreme expert [Nightmare] as "Big Brother," and today appeared on the tenth floor, instantly killing the werewolf who dared to speak disrespectfully...
All these factors combined lead to only one answer—Shura!
They encountered Shura!
However, due to the special nature of the tenth floor,
Everyone here wears a mask, and all their voices, body shapes, and physical characteristics are slightly altered.
Even if they encountered the true form of Asura, they would not be able to recognize Asura's true identity in the real world.
After figuring this out, they all made the same choice: to protect Shura.
Earlier, a werewolf offended Nightmare with his words, and Shura took action directly, which meant he made an enemy of all the werewolves present.
In an instant, the battlefield became clearly divided, and the situation became extremely tense.
Only the strong smell of blood permeated the air.
"Clean up the filth. I'm a coward and can't stand the sight of blood."
Ye Bai raised his foot and kicked the shadow of Cerberus.
"Gurgle—"
The three-headed hellhound swallowed the werewolf's corpse whole, then licked up the bloodstains on the ground as well.
The smell of blood instantly faded considerably, replaced by a faint cumin aroma.
"Where were we? Oh, right, what's your name?"
Ignoring the tense situation, Ye Bai turned his head and asked.
The shadowy werewolf said tremblingly, "My name is Jack."
"Xiao Jie, can you tell me what exactly happened here?"
Ignoring the enraged werewolf NPCs, Ye Bai focused on talking to Jack.
"A hundred years ago, Lord Nightmare arrived at the castle. He was among the castle's first guests, and also the beginning of all the nightmares..."
Through Jack's narration, Ye Bai roughly learned the ins and outs of the story.
One hundred years ago, the Eternal Tower descended.
With the Nightmare Awakening SSS-level talent, the clearing speed is also the fastest, reaching the tenth floor first.
Just as Ye Bai had expected, Nightmare chose the werewolf faction, achieved an SSS-level rating, and then left.
That's where the problem lies.
The storyline of the tenth floor is an infinite loop of one day, during which everything is reset.
After the nightmare left, one of the werewolves went mad—Shadow Wolf Jack.
Resetting his memories is ineffective!
Each time Jack dies and comes back to life, he retains his memories, starting a new cycle...
This is by no means a blessing, but a curse.
Even today, Jack recognized Ye Bai by his cloak.
"So, what did my older brother promise back then?"
This is the issue that Ye Bai cares about most, even more important than passing the 5S level.
A 5S rating completion only gives you a small reward.
Nothing is more important than a nightmare-inducing dark history!
Nightmare's dark past is something that can get Ninth Master to handle!
Ye Bai knew which was more important.
"Lord Nightmare said..."
Shadow Wolf Jack had already memorized this passage and could recite it without any difficulty.
"In the future, a young man will help you break free from this endless cycle. The moment you see him, you will know that he has arrived."
Ye Bai frowned. This was too charlatan-like!
Is the nightmare a great prophet?
The nightmare seemed to have revealed a lot of information, but in reality, it said nothing at all.
