Upon hearing these words.

Thinking of the slit-mouthed woman who just wore the faces of the two sisters.

Chen Lusi seemed to see the two sisters curled up in the dormitory, huddled in the corner, helpless, while the heavy footsteps outside the door gradually approached...

In that instant.

Chen Lusi felt an invisible hand gripping his heart tightly, his breathing becoming more rapid, almost gasping.

"Tap, tap, tap... tap, tap, tap... tap, tap, tap..."

Catherine's voice sounded again, mimicking the footsteps, further fanning the flames, and then suddenly teasing, "Ah, it seems like the two sisters are crying."

Crack—

Upon hearing these words.

In Chen Lusi's heart.

The semi-real and semi-imaginary stone prototype suddenly cracked open a fissure.

But this sound, only he could hear.

On the other side.

"Ah..."

When a huge amount of fear flooded back into her body.

Catherine closed her eyes once more, her face flushed, and let out a long moan.

Wonderful!

Absolutely wonderful!

This fear... absolutely wonderful!!!

Her expression became increasingly twisted as she looked at Chen Lusi like prey. The initial suspicion, vigilance, and bewilderment had long since disappeared.

Meanwhile, Chen Lusi still stood in place, seemingly lost in thought.

At this moment.

"Meow."

A white cat walked over and suddenly rubbed against Chen Lusi's pant leg.

Chen Lusi snapped back to reality, looked down at the cat, and met its emerald gem-like vertical pupils, suddenly realizing.

The inexplicable emotion just now... was called fear.

He had experienced it once when he met Lan at the foot of the mountain.

Only this time, it lasted too short. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

And as soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, that feeling vanished without a trace, not even leaving him time to savor it.

So just now, he couldn't understand what it was.

It was really quite simple.

He was just feeling scared... scared that something would happen to the two sisters.

Extremely scared.

"Truly pitiful."

Catherine's voice rang out again, impatiently: "The door keeps being knocked, and the two sisters are still pleading for someone who can never save them to show up, not even noticing that something even more terrifying is emerging from the toilet behind them, tsk, tsk, tsk..."

"..."

Hearing these words, Chen Lusi withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the cat, and instead walked directly towards the door.

And with his movement.

The sound of breaking, more intense, erupted from within him.

Soon.

The stone prototype in his heart became riddled with cracks, full of holes, and the spirit enveloping the stone prototype spun wildly.

The white cat stood in the shadows, seeing Chen Lusi move forward, it didn't follow him... but slowly stood up on two legs, transforming into a little girl in a white dress, sculpted from jade.

She watched Chen Lusi's back, slowly raising her pale arm... activating her Authority Ability.

The flesh and blood on her arm began to twist, wrapping upwards, gradually transforming into a thin, sharp blade, glimmering with a cold, eerie light in the dark.

On the other side.

Chen Lusi reached the doorway, leaving the darkness, stepping into the moonlight.

...As if returning from the Yellow Springs.

As he stepped into the moonlight.

The sound of breaking rang out again!

The stone prototype within him! Suddenly shattered! Disappearing without a trace!

And at the same time! The sound of a blade slicing through the air! Suddenly erupted!

A cold light suddenly appeared.

Crack—

The piercing sound of a blade striking metal suddenly echoed through the entire Anomaly Realm.

Chen Lusi's waist and chest suddenly dislocated, and the finally completed soul... was directly split in two!

Immediately following.

All the spirits within him instantly converged, gathering into a single point.

And ultimately transformed into a small stone.

Or rather... a Divine Format.

Catherine, still savoring the "fear" that belonged to Chen Lusi, was suddenly jolted by the sound of metal clashing, quickly coming back to her senses, looking towards Chen Lusi, and then was stunned in place.

Because... Chen Lusi suddenly became an ordinary person.

There was no longer the slightest ripple of spirit from him.

"?"

Catherine stared at Chen Lusi, bewildered: "...What is going on?"

At this moment.

Chen Lusi suddenly lifted his head, looking towards her.

This time, he wasn't following the cat's gaze; it was as if he truly saw her.

Catherine was slightly startled, not having time to react.

Thud—

A dull sound, like a heartbeat, or a drumbeat... reverberated through the entire Anomaly Realm!

Once again, the spirit wave appeared around Chen Lusi.

"No... it's impossible."

Catherine's eyes widened sharply, thinking of a possibility, her mouth falling open.

On the other side.

Chen Lusi looked in the direction Catherine was in, suddenly raising his hand, quickly drawing in front of himself.

If the four Daoists were present, they could probably tell at the first moment.

Chen Lusi was drawing a Shrinking Earth Talisman...

But Catherine was not a Daoist, and couldn't possibly know what this was.

She remained immersed in shock.

Until.

Chen Lusi finished drawing the pattern in front of him... a majestic talisman slowly floated in mid-air.

Catherine suddenly snapped back to reality.

But it was too late.

Chen Lusi suddenly swung his right arm.

The flesh twisted.

A cold gleam suddenly appeared.

Then.

He raised his right arm, directly slashed towards the talisman in mid-air.

Crack—

A series of clear sounds, like glass shattering, rang out.

The space shattered like fragile glass.

And Chen Lusi appeared in front of Catherine.

"..."

Catherine looked at Chen Lusi standing in front of her, and the space behind him that had been slashed to pieces, her pupils widened sharply, then she screamed, "What kind of joke is this!!! Advancing in place—"

The next moment.

Catherine's scream suddenly stopped.

Chen Lusi directly grabbed her neck, lifting her up, while her scream choked, he snarled, "Bastard! Tell me right now! Where are they?"
