Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Meng Ghost Eternal Daylight, a High-Level Evil Star, Also Has to Kneel and Beg Gu Yuan?

At this sight,

the Dragon Country audience wore strange expressions.

To be honest, they all felt a little sorry for this old geezer.

If you’re going to use your powers, then use them. What’s the point of sticking your fingers in your eyeballs?

These people are a group of Evil Stars. Are you putting on a circus act for them?

This whole journey, where was the slightest hint of a search for a final boss?

It was more like a leisurely field trip.

It was like they were going home for a meal, so self-assured about everything.

Anyone who didn’t know better would think Yun Zhenyue was the boss!

And that ghost in the blood-red space should just come on out!

Fry up a couple of dishes, find some booze, and drink a toast to its own punishment. Then this whole thing would be over.

[Damn, I was just watching the stream in my room, and my mom came in and said I’m all grown up now.]

[You can even make a dirty joke out of this?]

[I’m getting so bored I’m about to fall asleep. Can we fast-forward a bit?]

[Every time I watch Yun Zhenyue’s stream, I get this weird feeling, like she’s just going home. There’s zero tension, while the streams from other countries make my heart pound!]

[What boss? All I see is a lioness patrolling her territory.]

...

Under the old ghost’s despairing gaze,

Yun Zhenyue and her group couldn’t be bothered with him.

One by one, they formed a line. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

And matter-of-factly entered the blood-red space he had been guarding.

He was like an impotent husband,

unable to protect this private place no matter how hard he tried.

Finally, a Nightmare Hunter member bringing up the rear instructed, "Stop crying, old man."

"My Lady didn’t say she was going to kill you. What are you crying for?"

"If you really can’t stand it, you can be the last one to go in. It’s not like anyone’s stopping you."

Hearing this, the old ghost’s eyes welled with even more tears.

If he could, he would rather die here.

’This is worse than killing me!’

’This is psychological torture!’

He collapsed onto the ground, dejected.

He could only pray in his heart that his master wouldn’t blame him.

...

Inside the blood-red space,

Yun Zhenyue looked up, her brow slightly furrowed.

She saw a bizarre and curious world.

They were standing in a city center.

Skyscrapers towered around them, pedestrians flowed endlessly, traffic lights blinked, and cars passed over the crosswalks, their horns honking. BEEP BEEP.

It was as if they had returned to reality.

But on closer inspection, the surroundings were exceedingly strange.

The sun overhead looked as if it had been drawn with a crayon.

It had a smiling face with gentle features, gazing tenderly upon everyone in the city.

There was money lying on the ground, and more of it appeared with every step forward.

Countless tall trees lined the road, but instead of fruit, they bore laughing babies.

A few crows with human heads flew past the telephone poles, staring blankly at them.

"This place is..."

Yun Zhenyue tried to take a step forward!

But suddenly!

A sense of weightlessness abruptly struck her!

It was like jumping from a great height!

Feeling dizzy, Yun Zhenyue immediately stood still. She understood what this place was.

"My Lady... this seems to be a world constructed from dreams,"

Yu Honghui said, his expression grave.

"There are so many Dream Catchers here..."

His gaze swept to the corners of the area.

On the treetops, beside street corners, behind lampposts...

were hidden bizarre, circular objects.

Black beads and blood-red feathers hung from them, emitting waves of fluctuations that seemed to maintain the world’s balance.

Many of the pedestrians walked past with joyful expressions and smiling lips, but their pupils were dim and lifeless. They were like walking corpses, seemingly long dead.

"I know who has this ability."

Yu Honghui took a deep breath.

"Dream-Weaving Ghost Perpetual Daylight, a former Larva Level member of the Nightmare Hunters, capable of absorbing the power of dreams."

"We’ve entered the dream he has woven."

"A Larva Level member, Eternal Daylight?"

Yun Zhenyue murmured under her breath.

She looked at the people around her in disbelief.

Those pedestrians, they all seemed to be from the Dragon Country, maybe a hundred of them.

’These people... they all died in this dream?’

A surge of anger welled up in Yun Zhenyue’s heart.

Faced with the tragic deaths of her countrymen, she couldn’t remain calm.

’It seems Mengmeng’s parents must be trapped here too, along with the missing shopkeepers. They’ve all become a source of power for that Meng Ghost.’

’No wonder he didn’t want anyone near the underground garage!’

’So this is his lair.’

’He killed so many people from the Dragon Country. Even if he was a member of the Nightmare Hunters, I will not tolerate him!’

"Then... my mommy and daddy..."

Mengmeng’s voice trembled, her breathing shallow as she teetered on the verge of collapse.

"Calm down first," Yu Honghui said gravely. "These dead are all human. Your parents, being ghosts, won’t die so easily. We should still have time to save them."

"..."

At his words, Mengmeng bit her lip so hard that it broke the skin, drawing blood.

A Nightmare Hunter member asked in confusion, "Huh? Wasn’t that Meng Ghost kicked out by the Lord?"

"Yes, he was already a mid-level Evil Star a long time ago."

"But he was obsessed with power. Once, he had a mental breakdown and wove a dream within the Nightmare Hunters’ headquarters, trapping many new members and nearly killing them."

"The Lord was furious. He expelled him and struck his name from the records, forbidding him from ever setting foot among the Nightmare Hunters again."

"Now... he might be a high-level Evil Star, or he might not be. Everyone, be careful."

Hearing this,

the group of Nightmare Hunter members was shocked.

’A high-level Evil Star?’

’That’s not something we can handle.’

’And we’re on his turf, no less!’

’If not for Yun Zhenyue’s special status, that Meng Ghost probably wouldn’t be afraid of them at all.’

...

The global audience also found this unbelievable.

While Han Sumei and the others were still struggling desperately for a single gift,

Yun Zhenyue was already taking on a high-level Evil Star?

This bizarre world left them in a daze.

It was hard to imagine.

If Yun Zhenyue could complete this task,

what an incredible reward she would receive in the end!

[This time, it can’t possibly be a good thing.]

[This Meng Ghost is so terrifying. Even with eleven Evil Stars, he’ll probably be hard to deal with.]

[So he’s a traitor. Now, even if you’re Gu Yuan’s wife, giving orders won’t work, right?]

[Who knew the underground garage was hiding such a huge secret!]

[All these passersby were once living people.]

...

Just as the group was discussing

where to find the Meng Ghost,

a lonely figure slowly walked toward them from the end of the street.

BUZZ!

Yun Zhenyue felt the back of her hand suddenly turn ice-cold.

She looked toward the figure.

The man looked like an ordinary middle-aged man.

But he was draped in a huge Dream Repair Net, his body so thin he was nothing but skin and bones.

When he saw Yun Zhenyue, his expression suddenly turned excited and crazed!

He immediately broke into a mad dash toward them!

"Protect the Lord’s wife!"

Yu Honghui’s pupils contracted as he shouted.

But just as the group was on high alert, their nerves stretched taut!

The Meng Ghost ran right up to them and stared blankly at Yun Zhenyue.

Then, under her baffled gaze,

without another word!

THUD!

He bent his knees and fell to the ground, shamelessly kneeling!

Two streams of hot tears flowed from his eyes. Utterly crazed, he began to kowtow to Yun Zhenyue without pause.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Once he started kowtowing, he couldn’t stop!

The whole ground shook from the impacts, and his forehead was already blurred with blood.

Amidst these demonic movements,

the Meng Ghost cried and pleaded, "I’ve finally found you, My Lady!"

"I truly know my mistake now. Please, tell the Lord that I have sincerely repented!"

"I’ll pay any price! Take this mall, take this dreamscape, I don’t want any of it! I only beg you to let me return to the Nightmare Hunters!"

Silence!

Hearing these words,

the scene fell quiet.

The global audience was completely stunned.

What the hell?

Weren’t they here to fight a boss?

How come he started begging for mercy the moment they met?

Is Gu Yuan that terrifying?!

Even a high-level Evil Star didn’t dare to attack Yun Zhenyue, but instead begged her to petition Gu Yuan?

After all that build-up...

This is it?

What’s the point of playing anymore? This is more broken than using cheats!
