"Going alone to carry out the plan?"

Xu Ran never stopped talking until he made something shocking. The headmaster, Li Qinghong, tutor Lin Chang, Aunt Lu... all fell silent.

The headmaster waved his hand: "Xiao Ran, although you have a natural talent for understanding, and I believe in your intelligence, you are only six years old. Under no circumstances can you take any risks!"

Aunt Lu: "Yes, children under the age of eight, who haven't started practicing yet, have bodies as fragile as paper and can die if they're not careful. You just need to tell us the plan and we'll execute it!"

The headmaster frowned. "Besides, does the plan we come up with guarantee that it will be implemented? Will it definitely succeed?"

"We just thought of a few options, like just transporting the child out of the city—this option seemed feasible, but when the investigation team tried it, it simply didn't work."

"Then Qinghong suggested that we have illusionists create illusions for the Nightmare Mother, and then we can use the illusions to buy time and transport the children from the Demigod Kindergarten. But this plan also failed! Several illusionists fainted."

"Even the isolation formations created by Huang Liang, Zhao Ying, and Gao Yuan couldn't stop the Nightmare Mother..."

"This shows that the Nightmare Mother is extremely difficult to deal with. No single plan will be successful... Is your plan truly feasible? Are you sure it has no flaws?"

The headmaster had a serious expression, spoke earnestly and earnestly.

Xu Ran's features shone with confidence. "...There are almost no flaws. There's a slight risk factor, but not much."

what?
So confident?

Everyone was shocked.

But soon, the instructor Lin Chang shook his head seriously: "No, no, no, what if your plan has a fatal flaw that you haven't even noticed?
"Son, why don't you tell us your plan first? Let's discuss it together and improve it together. If we think it's feasible, we'll go ahead and implement your plan! Let us handle the dangerous things!"

Mentor Lin Chang's procedure is the safest. After proposing a plan, he will first discuss it several times, try to make up for the deficiencies, and then implement it. This is the right way.

However, facing the concerns of a group of elders.

Xu Ran shook his head confidently: "First of all, walls have ears. Once the plan is spoken out, it becomes invalid."

"Secondly, my plan, once I came up with it, was already very complete and didn't need any improvement."

"As for safety issues, you can ask Uncle Ye. Are my self-protection methods okay?"

Principal: “Really?”

Instructor: "... Pingzi, you tell me."

One gaze after another fell on Ye Ping.

Uncle Ye: “…”

He had actually seen Xu Ran's methods before. His speed far exceeded that of a cultivator in the early stage of the Qiu Realm. He could instantly kill a crystal beast with 40000 points of Qi and Health, and he could even become invisible! He was not six years old at all.

With Xu Ran's omnipotent level of understanding and talent, perhaps he also has other strange abilities...

but……

but……

Ye Ping took a deep breath: "Xiao Ran, I know you have a trump card, but do you really not need protection?"

Xu Ran smiled faintly: "Really, there's no need. Don't worry, just wait for my triumphant return!"

My mom reacted fiercely: "You little bastard, don't set a plan before you leave! Also, can't you choose a safer option? You have to go alone?"

Xu Ran shook his head. "Time is running out. We've already tried over a dozen plans and they've failed. Now that I've come up with a plan, I have to give it a try. I can't just sit there and watch the nightmare mother jump all over my face, can I?"

Mom hesitated to speak: "..."

Xu Ran: "By the way, Uncle Ye, come with me..."

Seeing Xu Ran turning to leave, Hu Niu suddenly jumped in front of him, staring at him with sparkling eyes: "Brother Xiao Ran, give me your hand."

Xu Ran was curious: "What's wrong? Are you going to draw a little red flower for me?"

Hu Niu said mysteriously: "It's not a little red flower, give me your hand~"

"All right……"

Xu Ran obediently stretched out his hand, and Hu Niu immediately grabbed his palm. Strands of golden light followed his palm and went straight into his heart.

Xu Ran was surprised: "What is it?"

Hu Niu said mysteriously, pointing at the Nightmare Mother in the sky: "To protect you~ If you don't tell it, it won't know!"

Xu Ran laughed dumbly: "Thank you, Hu... Thank you, sister Liuli. After I kill the Nightmare Mother, I will take you out shopping."

Hu Niu: "Okay, okay. Come on! I'll wait for you to come back!"

Zhu Yuheng walked to Hu Niu and said, "Xiao Ran... I... I have one too."

"you also have?"

Zhu Yuheng: "Yes... yes."

Xu Ran stretched out his hand, and Zhu Yuheng's cold little hand held him tightly. Ripples spread along his arm and merged into his eyebrows.

"Thank you!"

Zhu Yuheng: "No...you're welcome!"

Xu Ran smiled brightly: "Alright, thank you Sister Liuli and Zhu Yuheng for your magical blessings. Don't worry, I will definitely be safe and sound and return triumphantly!"

"By the way, Uncle Ye, let's go talk over there."

Xu Ran pulled Uncle Ye to a small wood in the distance. In the darkness, the paper substitute with a soul restrained appeared, while Xu Ran's real body quietly disappeared and lurked in the darkness.

"Uncle Ye, I'm going to enter the dream world to kill the Nightmare Mother. Please help me take care of my body."

Ye Ping: “……???”

Look after your body? It's clearly a paper substitute, okay? I saw it clearly from behind!
Although he didn't know why Xu Ran lied, he didn't ask any more questions.

Xiao Ran must have had his reasons for lying.

He just acted like a tool, picked up the paper substitute that fell to the ground, and glanced in the direction where Xu Ran disappeared.

"I have to say, in just two days, his invisibility skills have become even more refined. I have to use my mental power to scan him two or three times before I can detect his presence."

"As long as you're careful with this hidden trick, there's basically no danger, huh!"

Uncle Ye praised him in his heart.

He carried Xu Ran back to the crowd, put Xu Ran behind him, then sat down cross-legged and continued to play the jade flute.

Petals of spiritual power fell onto the children's brows, and the white light spread along the nightmare threads, resisting the invasion of the purple-green nightmare.

Xu Ran dodged the petals, activated Three Thousand Thunders+ and leaped into the clouds, jumping on top of a tall building.

"Cleanup Team! All members of the regular teams, stay together and guard the sewer entrance. Purify the black energy emanating from there. It's the ghost energy that gave birth to Guhuo's angels."

"The first twenty combat teams of the Clearance Regiment, you will be instructed to move around the city and sweep away those accomplices born in residents' homes! Quickly!"

"Killing Guhuo's minions isn't difficult at all. The key is the super monster overhead!"

"It's counting down..."

"Help...wuwu..."

"Damn it! We're too late! This Guhuo minions has gone insane! Damn it! Damn it! The little girl had been dead for over ten minutes when we arrived."

The eyes of the practitioners in the cleaning team were red.

The body of a little girl was carried out by the clearing team. Her heart had been pierced. She had been manipulated like a puppet, but before she died, her eyes suddenly widened and refused to close.

"That is……"

Xu Ran frowned, "On the bus... the little girl who gave me a red flower..."

"died?"

Xu Ran's heart ached for no reason.

Although they seldom interacted with each other, and it could be said that they were just casual acquaintances, Xu Ran didn't even know the little girl's name, but... the little red flower that the little girl rewarded him with left a deep impression on him.

Xu Ran took out a stack of papers from his pocket.

There were also over thirty small red flowers painted on it, each one a big smiling face. "Yesterday's kind and lovely little sister, today reduced to a corpse..."

"Nightmare blames mother... Nightmare blames mother. Nightmare blames mother! Haha."

Xu Ran looked at the little sister's body quietly, the coldness in his eyes seemed to have melted into an iceberg.

He took a deep breath, his expression cold, and landed lightly on the side of the street.

Not far ahead, there was a sewer with a manhole cover that had been blown open, and black smoke was billowing out, which was the breath of ghosts.

The practitioners were squatting near the manhole cover, some were on high alert, and some were sweating profusely as they cast purification spells.

Xu Ran walked quietly behind them and threw Bee No. 1 in.

The extremely concealed Little Bee No. 1 spun in a spiral and flew into the sewer.

"Perspective shift."

With a thought, Xu Ran saw the scene underground.

The little children, with purple-green nightmare strings connected to their heads, became puppets, their eyes closed in pain, their bodies curled up, and they floated in the air.

They were tied together with purple-green silk threads, forcibly used as human shields. If they wanted to find the Nightmare Mother deeper in the world, they had to destroy the "human shields" and kill the children.

Besides.

Pools of dark oil were wriggling and emitting black smoke, which drifted towards the high sewer manhole.

And in the dark oil, from time to time, a Guhuo minion with bulging eyes, bird heads, bird beaks, and skinny monkey bodies would pull its body out from a pool of oil, like a chicken being pulled out of silk thread.

They rolled in the black oil, devouring the ghost energy bit by bit, and their deep blue skin became darker and darker, as if they were evolving into a more powerful being.

"You have so many tricks up your sleeve! On one hand, you're holding three hundred thousand children hostage, and on the other hand, you're releasing the Guhuo minions to disrupt order... But no matter how many tricks you have, I'm going to crush you today. Avenge my little sister!"

Xu Ran stared intently. He crawled into the sewer in stealth mode, his back pressed against the wall, and magnetically attached himself to Guhuo's head.

He took out the origami and stared at the little red flower for a few seconds.

"Xu..."

Xu Ran's slender fingers quickly folded the little red flower paper into a human shape.

Subsequently.

He bit his finger and smeared blood on the origami figure.

The magical energy blew up the origami, as if giving it a soul, and the origami turned into a chubby little child.

I have to say that the third sequence of origami is simply a god-like skill. The children folded out, with the blessing of blood... are lifelike and vivid, to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.

However, the sudden appearance of the children still startled the Guhuo minions. They all stared at the ten children in unison: "???"

Xu Ran immediately activated [Beast Language Mastery] + [Pressure Simulation] to imitate the language and breath of Guhuo's accomplice.

The thugs suddenly understood.

Oh...it turns out that the family members are throwing their spoils down?
Good, good! Looks like I have the advantage on the battlefield above!

The henchmen were feeling smug, and the next second, a strange dark blue figure pounced on the ten children.

"Hahahaha……"

"The loot's caught!"

The Guhuo minions laughed maniacally and walked towards the human shield wall in an extremely bizarre posture. In front of the human shield wall, they uttered a series of strange cries: "alalamimidadayo..."

Strange syllables echoed through the sewer, and the human shield wall quickly parted.

The Guhuo minions held their cubs high in their skinny arms, took chopstick-like steps, and jumped like strange scarecrows, running deeper into the cave.

Little Bee No. 1 followed closely behind.

Xu Ran observed the heavily guarded underground fortress the entire time: "As expected of the Nightmare Mother, she is extremely cautious."

How cautious?
Not only did it hide at a depth of five or six hundred meters underground, it also set up ten human walls!
You should know that the depth of defense against nuclear strikes is only fifty meters, but Nightmare is hidden six hundred meters underground. Not only can it defend against super attacks, but it also uses children as meat shields. It is insidious, cunning and cautious. No wonder Uncle Ye and others have a headache.

"Unfortunately, even the most careful planning can lead to loopholes! It could never have imagined that there was a child who could not only become invisible but also mimic the aura of Guhuo's accomplice... Haha. He's destined to die at my hands."

Xu Ran looked closely at the Nightmare Mother's flesh and blood nest!
The entire cave was disgusting and nauseating. Pieces of fat, greasy white fat particles formed a nest of flesh and blood, and purple-black blood vessels were wrapped around the nest, gurgling and wriggling.

A giant, bloated "sea cucumber" floated in the middle of the "cave." Tens of thousands of purple-rose umbilical cords writhed frantically like snakes and worms. Indigo-skinned infant zombies, with sharp teeth and claws, bloodshot eyes, and red tongues, crammed densely together. Tens of thousands of bloodshot pupils shone with a gaze of resentment that made one's legs weaken.

"Praise the Mother Goddess! The best baby is offered as a sacrifice to you!"

"Praise the Mother Goddess! The best baby is offered as a sacrifice to you!"

The henchmen shouted in anticipation and threw the ten "children" towards the nightmare mother.

"Ok?"

The purple-blue zombie woman's face suddenly opened her eyes, and threw purple-black umbilical cords into the air, biting the heads of ten children. The ghostly aura was injected into the children's bodies, and the little red flowers lit up.

next moment.

Joyful laughter echoed throughout the nest: "Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly what I need. Keep catching them! Keep catching them!"

"Yes, Mother Goddess!"

The thugs cheered and ran away like monkeys.

Six hundred meters away, Xu Ran, who had witnessed everything, smiled. "Sure enough, my guess was right. The Nightmare Mother has an almost insane obsession with young children."

Xu Ran didn't know where this paranoia came from.

Maybe the nightmare mother is the reincarnation of a priest?

All in all, judging by the results, tens of thousands of children were transformed into baby zombies by it! When it went crazy, it was also frantically calling out - "Children come back... Children, return to my body..."

If it wasn't so paranoid, Xu Ran would definitely not have come up with this killing plan.

But now, I can kill alone.

With a sneer in his heart, Xu Ran bit his finger. More and more "children" appeared in the sewer. After leaving behind a total of thirty children, Xu Ran quietly went to another sewer.

The henchmen waiting anxiously at the wellhead asked: "What's going on? Why aren't the family members up there throwing their spoils down?"

"Wait a moment!"

……

at this time.

At another well, Xu Ran skillfully folded paper and smeared blood on it. Then he threw the child into the sewer.

And imitate Guhuo's words and breath.

The evolving Guhuo minions couldn't help but let out strange giggles when they saw the child. "Great, great, the Mother Goddess is almost victorious. The advantage is mine! Hurry and present the spoils to the Mother Goddess."

They carried their young children and ran towards the mother nest of flesh and blood.

The nightmare mother was extremely happy.

Twenty minutes passed in a flash...

Forty minutes passed in a flash...

An hour later, Xu Ran had created three thousand origami children, an average of one per second.

Three thousand origami children were sacrificed to the Nightmare Mother's bloody lair...

The origami child was stained with Xu Ran's blood, and was so realistic that it was indistinguishable from the real thing. Nightmare didn't notice anything unusual. It thought it was a very good child, a very good child...

It enjoyed the unique offering with great pleasure...

In the pitch-black underground, Xu Ran worked hard for an hour.

I murmured slowly in my heart: "Three thousand origami children, is that enough?"
