"Meow."

The white cat gently swayed its tail and lifted its head, its emerald gem-like vertical pupils looking at Chen Lusi with an inexplicable emotion.

Chen Lusi didn't notice, seeing the white cat still standing motionless behind him, he could only take a deep breath, forcefully suppress his irritable emotions, and continue forward, coming to the next dorm room door.

But this time.

He didn't have time to kick the door.

Because inside... came a familiar voice.

Chen Lusi heard the voices of the two sisters, suddenly paused, and his flesh twisted into a blade on his right arm trembled slightly.

He took another deep breath and then gently pushed open the door.

The two sisters stood in the dormitory, noticed the door opened, immediately turned their heads, and happily pounced towards him.

"Chen Lusi."

"..."

Chen Lusi looked at the two, and his pupils shrank. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Then, the next second.

Accompanied by the shock of spiritual power.

Chen Lusi's figure disappeared and reappeared behind them.

And the previously beautiful and lively two sisters stopped in place, their figures twisted, suddenly transforming into apparition women clad in pale long dresses.

Immediately.

Their heads fell off.

Chen Lusi slowly turned around, looking down at the two unidentified creatures in pale long dresses on the ground, slightly bowing his head.

Darkness obscured his face, with moonlight outlining his silhouette from behind.

At the same time.

Catherine saw Chen Lusi decisively slay the monster resembling the two sisters, and it still had no effect, causing her eyes to widen.

But her annoyance just arose, and it was interrupted.

Because an enormous, almost tangible fear seeped into her body.

"Ah..."

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then closed her eyes, face flushed, letting out a long moan like an addict being gratified.

At the same time.

Wrinkles on her face began to gradually fade away, her appearance regained its beauty, and her full head of silver hair instantly transformed into soft golden locks.

As if reborn.

Baba Yaga.

This Authority Ability, due to Source Canon, is very special, and the source of power driving it is also unique.

Apart from the conventional spirit, there's also... fear.

This is the reason Catherine joined the Inquisition.

Because besides being suitable for her Authority, it's indeed the best place to capture fear.

Fear, trembling, worries, cries... these emotions can all become the source of her power.

Especially fear.

She created this terrifying school not only to utilize the students' identities and names to avoid being suppressed by the Yellow Springs Mainstream, but more importantly, to capture fear, providing enough nourishment for the constantly breeding and splitting clones outside, letting chaos unfold smoothly.

But Chen Lusi kept breaking in repeatedly, disrupting her carefully designed horror story time and time again.

Making the obtainable fear decrease more and more.

This made it even impossible for her to maintain her youthful appearance.

Yet...

Just now!

She obtained an enormous fear again...

That fear, compared to all the fear she received during this period, was exaggerated and pure! And vast!

And such fear... Catherine encountered it for the first time.

That was the kind of fear like an infant newly born, experiencing light for the first time... but much stronger.

Because the baby thinks of nothing, but adults do.

Theoretically, the two are conflicting.

But at this moment, Catherine actually felt a pure and powerful fear from an adult!

"Unbelievable... truly unbelievable."

Catherine looked at Chen Lusi standing in the darkness at the moment, both excited and surprised.

Originally, she just wanted to obstruct Chen Lusi's steps, then consider whether to kick him out, leaving the cat behind.

But unexpectedly.

Such a surprising delight!

Such fear... is more valuable than everyone in the entire school combined! A few more times, maybe even enough to elevate her Tier!!!

Catherine thought as she recalled the almost transcendental pleasure she had just experienced, her breathing slowly became heavy, and her face twisted.

In an instant, she made up her mind.

... Exhaust him!

No matter how special his Authority is, he's essentially just a fool! Being so worried and fearful about killing a replica! Then use those two sisters to drain him dry! Destroy him!!!

"..."

At the same time.

Elsewhere.

Chen Lusi lowered his head to look at the ground, endlessly taking deep breaths.

He tried to adjust his heartbeat and breathing.

But no matter how he adjusted, his heart still pounded like a drum, crazily beating.

An inexplicable emotion began to spread.

His breathing became rapid, and his fingertips started to slightly numb, forcing him to clench his fist.

And at his heart, the semi-illusory Stone prototype suddenly trembled lightly.

Along with it, the Spiritual Power Group swirling around also accelerated significantly.

And just at this moment...

"You're going to die, oh."

Catherine's charming voice suddenly sounded, coming from all directions: "Are you looking for a pair of sisters?... They're going to die, oh."

Chen Lusi stiffened upon hearing this, slowly lifted his head, half of his face emerging into the moonlight.

"You've looked in the wrong place."

Catherine's voice continued: "They're elsewhere, at this moment... Oh, right now they're curled up in the dorm, anxious, warming each other, calling your name.

What a shame, such beautiful girls.

Oh, it sounds like footsteps are coming from outside, do you hear it?... Tap, tap, tap."

Finally.

Catherine mimicked the dull sound of those footsteps vividly.
