Chapter 258 Countdown



Countless upside-down humanoid creatures hung eerily in the sky, layer upon layer, obscuring the entire space.

In this psychedelic world, a bride in a Western fantasy castle can transform into a dilapidated and terrifying hospital in an instant, with all sorts of scenes changing aimlessly.

"This is the location of the evil god known as Nightmare, the dream world. Unlike other evil gods, Nightmare is extremely weak when he descends..."

"So humans were unprepared?"

Chu Yunfan, who had been interrupted, nodded and sighed softly:

"His power comes from a very special source. In the beginning, it was just an extremely beautiful butterfly flitting about in a dream, like Zhuangzi dreaming he was a butterfly."

"Initially, the nightmare will bring the dreamer a good dream, and the dreamer can get everything he desires, such as wealth, beautiful women and fine wine, enough to make him drown in the dream."

"Slowly, the wings of nightmares enveloped countless humans who were trapped in their dreams and unwilling to wake up."

"As far as we know, at this point, the nightmare no longer uses pleasant dreams to deceive, but brings nightmares."

Chu Yunfan recalled the horror he felt while reading the documents, and a cold sweat broke out on his back:

"Human imagination is boundless, and the nightmares they have are bizarre and varied, sometimes being chased by monsters, and sometimes being unable to resist natural disasters."

“After dying in their dreams time and time again, these people’s dreams will become reality.”

"Monsters attacked pedestrians in the streets, swarms of snakes invaded like a tide, and there were also erupting volcanoes and continuous torrential rain."

Chu Yunfan couldn't continue speaking; the impact of those scenes that could only exist in his imagination becoming reality was immense.

When you're asked to create entertainment works, you keep complaining about a lack of inspiration. But when you have nightmares, you come up with all sorts of creative ideas!

"This nightmare is quite ingenious. It first feigns weakness and then slowly develops, so that the world consciousness and you humans will not focus their attacks on it, or even ignore it."

"That's a good idea, write it down."

The demon god nodded thoughtfully, Chu Yunfan's face stiffened, and then he smiled bitterly.

Given what I was thinking, shouldn't His reaction have been expected?

This person was only "temporarily" recruited.

The Nightmare of Evil Gods has killed the most humans and had the greatest impact to date. The time of its arrival is unknown, but it was at least one of the first two batches of evil gods to enter Earth.

Three hours after his encounter with the "savior," on June 1, he was confirmed to have died at the hands of the "savior."

The son of the evil god of desire... He was confirmed to have died at the hands of the "savior" on June 15th.

The evil god, with a million followers and his "angelic" offspring... was confirmed to have died at the hands of the "savior" on June 18th.

The evil god... June 20th... hand.

...

After writing the last line, Chu Yunfan put away his carbon pen and leather notebook.

The shadow twisted, and the eerily beautiful woman looked at him with a complex expression, biting her lower lip as she murmured:

Did you notice?

"The time intervals between each of His hunts of evil gods are getting shorter and shorter."

Seemingly a bit cold, the woman hugged her arms, lowered her head, and let her black hair fall down, enveloping half of her slender body.

Chu Yunfan nodded. This was easy to deduce. It had gone from once every ten days or half a month to once every seven or eight days, then once every four or five days, and now it was approaching once every two or three days.

This is strange.

Because the demon god's hunting of evil gods is not as simple as crushing an ant; it can also be injured or even die.

When hunting down the "Holy Lord," He was severely injured and almost died. Chu Yunfan even felt that he could kill this arrogant demon god with a single blow.

At that time.

Amidst a sea of ​​blood and corpses, the "girl" lay dying, her crescent-shaped eyes smiling as she looked at Chu Yunfan, softly saying:

"If you want to kill me, you'd better find a fatal spot."

As He spoke these words, half of His head was severed, a milky, viscous liquid mixed with bright red blood flowed out, His heart had long since vanished, and three of His limbs were gone…

Chu Yunfan realized with despair that he dared not gamble on where His fatal weakness lay.

If you take action but fail to eradicate the root of the problem, the consequences will be disastrous.

In the end, Chu Yunfan did not take action, but instead took the injured "girl" to a safe place to recuperate, and "luckily" obtained a healing elixir.

The eerie woman's voice, tinged with barely concealed anxiety, pulled Chu Yunfan's thoughts back from his memories to reality:

“This is not right, it is very wrong, He seems to be in a great hurry.”

"He is chasing time, no, being chased by time."

Chu Yunfan suddenly realized that the demon god's abnormal behavior was very similar to a human buying an expensive buffet with a time limit and eagerly wanting to eat a big meal.

But as the event drew to a close, there were still many delicious dishes left to eat. In order to eat as much as possible, we had no choice but to stuff ourselves, even if it caused us stomach pain.

With such a feast before us, what does a little harm matter?

Having figured this out, Chu Yunfan murmured:

"He doesn't have much time left in this world, which is why he's hunting evil gods like crazy."

After he finished speaking, he saw the eerie woman's pale face and her eyes filled with fear as she looked at him "helplessly".

Chu Yunfan neither dodged nor avoided, but instead gave a sarcastic sneer:

Are you scared?

"That's right. It's so easy to have an extra snack before leaving, especially since it's readily available."

"Enough! How dare you!"

The woman flew into a rage, and invisible black energy emanated from the surroundings. A hint of madness flashed between Chu Yunfan's brows, and his mockery intensified.

"What am I being presumptuous about? Oh, I misspoke. You're not a snack, you should be... a reserve of food."

The last three words had barely left his lips when Chu Yunfan groaned and collapsed to his knees. He raised his face, revealing black veins twisting like earthworms, and was drenched in sweat.

It's easy to imagine how unbearable this pain must have been, yet Chu Yunfan insisted on forcing a smile.

He's had enough of this messed-up world where everyone wants to control him.

"If you... have the guts... then just kill me."

The enchanting woman frowned, suddenly realizing the situation was getting tricky. Of course, she dared not make a move; killing him would be easy, but she herself would likely have to pay with her own life.

Why has this usually carefree guy suddenly become so unreasonable?

"Hmph, why bother arguing with a madman?"

After saying this, the woman leaped into the shadows. Ashamed to tell anyone, she dared not expose herself to the outside world for long, fearing that she would be eaten at will.

"Pah, pah, pah, coward."

Even while lying on the ground, he stubbornly spat out a mouthful of saliva to show his contempt, so Chu Yunfan simply changed to a more comfortable position to lie down.

The lingering pain throughout his body had not yet subsided, and he thought about many random things.

Until a pair of fair legs came into view.

He tried to get up, his bones and muscles creaking in protest, but his shoulders were pinned down by canvas shoes.

Chu Yunfan froze, then suddenly spoke as if deflated:

"You just heard everything, right? Are our guesses correct or not?"
