Chapter 376 The Fear Deep Within



A mental imprint struck Yuri's brow. Ye Ye took a few steps back. The mental imprint had extremely strong control, and an ordinary person like Yuri would have absolutely no chance of breaking free!

Yu Cheng was still immersed in the enormous energy expenditure, which made her vaguely sense that something was wrong!

"Is everything alright?"

"Don't worry, aside from the high energy consumption, the control effect of the mental imprint is still top-notch!"

Yuri's talent was indeed strange, but in Ye Ye's opinion, it wasn't very effective. Although there were many monsters inside, they were all weak and didn't have any strange or unpredictable abilities.

This is consistent with the level of an SS-rank talent.

"Perhaps we should throw it into the stinking ditch and let those weird rats gnaw it clean, so that it won't be judged that we did it."

Ye Ye sensed the killing intent in Yuri's eyes. If this person wanted to kill him, then he wouldn't hesitate to do the same!

But at that moment, Ye Ye felt the mark planted in Yuri's mind being pried open by something! Then a large hand reached down from the sky, wearing a white and yellow robe with mysterious patterns engraved on it.

That hand ripped the spiritual imprint to shreds!

"Cough cough!"

Yuri sprang to his feet with a somersault, and the black mist spread once more!

"Damn it, to have His Holiness the Pope personally handle such a trivial matter for me is a disgrace!"

This shame must be washed away with one's life!

This is a miracle born from fear!

That Taoist priest is difficult to deal with! And that woman is almost an omnipotent support. No, we must fully activate the [Miracle] to have any chance of victory!

The black mist enveloped them again, and Yu Cheng tried to use the same trick again, but he failed when he tried to create the item!

She failed! This means that her current physical strength is insufficient to create the item to dispel the black mist, indicating that the power of the opponent's move has increased once again!

"Just who exactly is this Yuri?"

The black fog was thick. Yu Cheng turned her head, only to find herself alone. She called out Ye Ye's name, but there was no response!

Ye Ye on the other side was in the same situation, which made him frown, but he dared not make any rash moves. He could not remove the influence of the black mist by silently reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra.

When we are with others, it seems to trigger a group effect, which makes us humans much braver. In contrast, when humans are alone, fear is amplified infinitely!

Yuri used the black mist to divide the battlefield, which is actually a very mentally taxing technique. If he can't finish the battle quickly, he will definitely be the first to fall!

What are these two guys afraid of?

A figure stood in front of Ye Ye, and he had the exact same figure and appearance as Ye Ye!

"After I kill you, I will be you!"

Ye Ye simply closed his eyes and ran his fingers along the blade of the wooden sword! The Xuanhuang Flame instantly ignited on it!

"I am a Taoist priest, and I am most skilled at dealing with evil spirits!"

Yuri's entire body was enveloped in black mist. He gritted his teeth, even drawing blood. The black mist surged, and then he burst into a strange, loud laugh!

"I really don't know what you're all afraid of, so let me just look into your hearts! You two have died a worthwhile death, making me pay such a heavy price!"

After this battle, Yuri's mental energy will probably be exhausted, so he must go somewhere to rest and recover his mental energy before going to Bates to ask about the location of the remaining people.

He had to use the deepest level of [Fear] to directly draw out what these two guys feared most! Because he genuinely didn't know what the Taoist priest was afraid of!

Sure enough, in just a few seconds, the illusory image that had conjured up of him was slashed down by a single sword!

Yu Cheng walked in the light rain. She didn't know why she had come to this place. It was a remote road with no one around. Occasionally a car would pass by, but it would never stop for even a moment.

A faint crying sound came from ahead. Yu Cheng ran up quickly and saw a little girl squatting by the roadside. She was wearing a somewhat worn cotton coat and had her head buried in her arms. She just squatted there, as if she didn't want to disturb the world.

"you--"

Yu Cheng reached out his hand, but felt a sharp pain in his head!

Why are you here all alone?

Why am I here alone...? Why am I here alone...?

The sound echoed in the rain, causing the little girl squatting on the ground to look up. The two looked at each other, and Yu Cheng, as if she had seen something incredible, quickly took a few steps back, wanting to run away but then stopped in her tracks.

Why am I still alone?

The little girl stood up and walked closer step by step, retreating until she bumped into a tree. Her body was like a bound person, unable to move, and her whole body was ice cold!

"Why am I still single? Because being abandoned is our destiny."

"I didn't want to! I didn't want to! Don't come any closer!"

"Abandoned by parents, abandoned by teammates, and even—abandoned by the whole world!"

Yu Cheng recalled what Ma Dapao had said back then: the whole world is fake, nothing is real, everything is fiction, including her!

"When everything no longer needs you, you will be all alone again. No one will remember who you were, and no one will want to know who you were."

Once this world completes its mission, like other ghost stories, will they all be abandoned and rendered as if they never existed?

"No!" Yu Cheng roared, "I'm already an SS-rank Ghost Storyteller! I have my own abilities! I can help others, I can be needed!"

"In the eyes of the gods, this means nothing."

"Your power is so weak that only you can feel it, like a candle flame flickering in the wind, which can be extinguished with a single breath."

The little girl stood in front of Yu Cheng and rubbed her chest a few times. Yu Cheng felt empty inside, as if something had disappeared. The little girl opened her palm, and inside was a bright red, beating heart!

Yu Cheng slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the bright red thing. She felt her body growing weaker and weaker, as if her soul was about to leave her body and she could no longer control it.

"Since I'm destined to be abandoned, since the ending is destined to be a tragedy, why should I keep moving forward?"

The little girl opened her mouth wide and bit off a corner of her heart, bright red blood flowing down her lip and into her neck.

"Why don't we stop here?"

"Stop here..."

Yu Cheng's hands and feet were ice-cold, and then she closed her eyes.
