"She reached out and snatched a team member's face, then attached it to her own face. The team member, without a face, suffocated to death because he lost his mouth and nose!"
She seemed to dislike that face, and then kept attacking, taking away several more faces. Half of my team members were killed by her, and the rest of us escaped. She didn't chase after us, but kept fiddling with those faces.
That little girl was at least a B-level weird, maybe even an A-level weird; we were completely powerless against her.
During our escape, we encountered another bizarre humanoid creature with its head growing backwards, on its back. It snapped the necks of several people, and our attacks felt like mere tickles to it.
There was also a bizarre creature covered in red incense sticks; those dark red candles were stuck into its flesh, emitting red smoke... and that red smoke... was alive!
At this point, Yang Kunpeng's figure suddenly vanished, disappearing right before everyone's eyes.
But the next second, he reappeared out of thin air, still saying, "One of the team members accidentally inhaled that smoke and was in great pain..."
Whoosh!
Yang Kunpeng disappeared again, then reappeared, his movements intermittent, like a movie scene stuck in time.
Bai Qi and Wang Dehai exchanged a glance. They knew very well that Yang Kunpeng had lost control of his spirituality, causing him to go out of control. His ability was invisibility, which he couldn't control at all, which was why he disappeared and reappeared at different times.
"The red smoke wasn't smoke at all... it was tiny red flying insects... In the end, only the three of us were left alive."
"Thanks to the escape route Fang Xiu provided earlier...we saw Nightmare at the safety exit..."
Upon hearing the mention of nightmares, Yang Kunpeng's blinking frequency increased dramatically, clearly indicating his extreme fear.
"That nightmare isn't a C-rank anomaly at all! It's definitely not! It's A-rank! A-rank!! It has no physical form, no attack can harm it, it's invincible! It's immortal!"
Nightmare is impervious to any attack? Is it immortal?
As someone who had direct contact with the Nightmare, Fang Xiu was not surprised. The Nightmare at that time was indeed elusive and had no physical form. It was simply a pair of blood-red eyes growing out of black smoke, so it was possible that it could ignore any attack, but not die.
It's just a rather difficult-to-kill monster.
Perhaps, next time we go to Qingshan Mental Hospital, we can show him who is truly immortal.
"Dreams and reality are indistinguishable... Everything is too real, it's not an illusion! It's another world! Self-harm won't help, everyone has their own fears, even if you know beforehand it's fake... You can't overcome fear, fear cannot be overcome!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dehai and Bai Qi instinctively looked towards Fang Xiu.
The reason why Wang Dehai once classified Qingshan Mental Hospital as a Class C hospital was actually because Fang Xiu and Zhao Hao were both ordinary people, yet they were able to escape from the clutches of Nightmare.
Therefore, they subconsciously believe that nightmares are not strong, and as long as they know in advance that it is fake, they can be brave.
Now it seems he was wrong, terribly wrong.
It is really difficult for humans to overcome fear. It's not as simple as just yelling and blindfolding yourself when you're faced with fear. It requires you to truly be fearless.
Even if you know it's fake beforehand, so what? It's like watching a horror movie. Everyone knows it's fake, but it's still scary when you watch it. Nightmares aren't like horror movies; they're like real dreams.
Seeing Yang Kunpeng on the verge of collapse, Fang Xiu suddenly realized something was wrong.
"If you didn't overcome your fear, how did you get out?"
Upon hearing Fang Xiu's question, Yang Kunpeng was momentarily stunned. Strangely, he stopped disappearing and seemed to freeze in place. All the tension and fear on his face vanished, leaving only confusion.
"Yes, how did I get out?"
"Why am I able to get out? Aren't I dead?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dehai, an ordinary person, felt a chill run down his spine, and even Bai Qi frowned and became secretly on guard.
"Hahaha..." Yang Kunpeng suddenly burst into a hysterical laugh: "I remember now, I remember everything, hahaha... You no longer need to worry about my mutation, because I'm already dead!"
He laughed wildly, then veins bulged on his face, and he gurgled...
Something seemed to be surging inside his body. Suddenly, the skin on his face swelled up, and a huge red tumor grew out. As the gurgling sound grew louder, more and more tumors emerged on his body.
Click!
Bai Qi opened the iron gate and walked in coldly, stopping in front of Yang Kunpeng.
His right hand moved slightly.
The next second, Yang Kunpeng's head fell to the ground, blood gushing out continuously, and the mutation stopped.
Fang Xiu's pupils contracted slightly. He hadn't even seen how Bai Qi made his move, nor had he seen the other party's weapon, before Yang Kunpeng's head was chopped off.
Such speed! Is this what extreme speed is? No wonder he's the number one spirit master in Green Vine City.
He was almost certain that Bai Qi had likely reached the peak of the second tier, only one step away from the third tier. However, Bai Qi was not as lucky as Yang Ming, so he had not broken through for a long time.
"Alas, the Investigation Bureau has suffered heavy losses this time." Seeing Yang Kunpeng's tragic death, Wang Dehai seemed to age several years in an instant.
The number of bizarre incidents is increasing, but the Bureau of Investigation's manpower has not only failed to increase, but a small team has been wiped out, which is a heavy blow.
"Someone, dispose of Yang Kunpeng's body properly. Also, in accordance with the reward and punishment system, issue subsidies to his family and a martyr's certificate."
After Wang Dehai finished speaking, he turned to Fang Xiu and Bai Qi and said, "Let's go, let's talk in my office."
Fang Xiu didn't move, but kept staring at Yang Kunpeng's corpse.
Upon seeing this, Wang Dehai and Bai Qi stopped in their tracks.
"What happened to Fang Xiu?" Wang Dehai asked.
“Something’s not right,” Fang Xiu said calmly. “He never explained how he escaped from the nightmare before he died. He was clearly terrified, yet he managed to come out alive. There must be something wrong with that.”
"What's wrong?" Wang Dehai clearly realized something was amiss.
"It's highly likely that Nightmare deliberately let him out."
"What? Why would Nightmare do this?" Wang Dehai exclaimed in shock.
Fang Xiu did not answer, but instead took out a scalpel.
The Bureau of Investigation already knows that this strange artifact was taken from a mental hospital. They don't have the habit of asking spirit masters to hand over their weapons, but Wang Dehai repeatedly warned them to use it sparingly.
Although the artifact is precious, he is not the only one in the Investigation Bureau who possesses one. Leaving aside others, Yang Ming, with his maxed-out luck, definitely has one.
