Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 407 Nightmare
When he opened his eyes again, Zhuang Boshi had arrived in another place.

The world was dark and oppressive, filled with a chilling atmosphere. It was empty, with only a large European-style castle standing in front of it.

The castle was dilapidated and desolate, with empty, dark windows that resembled gouged-out eye sockets, exuding a sense of deathly stillness.

Bosch was standing in front of the castle gate at that moment.

The iron gate was half-closed, covered in rust and tangled with weeds and vines, as if it hadn't been cleaned for years.

Zhuang Boshi looked out and saw that the sky outside the castle seemed to be writhing, and dark clouds were beginning to approach. It seemed that some kind of supernatural force was interfering with the dream, trying to force those who entered here to move closer to the castle.

“It really is Nightmare Castle,” Zhuang Boshi said, his eyes turning cold.

The reason was simple: the King's organization's scheme genuinely surprised him.

This attack by the King's Organization finally revealed the true strength of the strongest organization in the original work.

Using the wishing ghost as a trap, he first sealed off his own spatial abilities.

Immediately following was the ghost voltage control.

The demon scissors, Pinocchio, and a dozen or so remotely cursed ghosts constantly suppressed his regenerative abilities, pushing his [Infinite] adaptive slots to their limit.

At the same time, he arranged for hundreds of cannon fodder ghost riders to block his way and guard against the coffin nails.

Finally, the nightmare and the wishing ghost worked together perfectly, forcibly pulling him into the dream.

That's top-tier teamwork; even a human demon tamer might not be able to pull it off.

If all vengeful ghosts are this cooperative, then humanity's hopes are truly slim.

Moreover, the vengeful ghosts do not engage in infighting; each ghost is dutiful and fearless of death.

He wouldn't believe it even as a ghost if you said it had nothing to do with the source of evil spirits!
Having just obtained the information from the parchment, he was soon surrounded and attacked by hundreds of vengeful ghosts and a dozen remote curses orchestrated by the King's organization.

Do you really think top-tier vengeful ghosts are like cabbages, buy one get one free?
If the captain had the ability to directly raise an army of S-class ghosts, why would he need to engage in infighting among humans? Wouldn't it be more convenient to simply sweep through with his army?

It seems that the source of the evil spirits has already begun to target the Central Plains team.

why?
Has the Zhongzhou team already touched upon the core interests of the source of evil spirits?
Or is it that the two forces in this world are about to determine a victor?

Zhuang Boshi looked around. The dark clouds were approaching the castle. They weren't dark clouds at all, but ghostly spirits floating in the sky.

Now is not the time to consider the root cause; breaking free from the nightmare lock is the top priority.

Zhuang Boshi tried several ways to wake himself up, but he didn't know if the wishing ghost was still casting a sleep curse on him.

His mind was clouded and he remained unable to regain consciousness.

Bosch could only focus his attention on the castle in front of him.

"Crench!"

The castle gates opened at that moment, and Bosch walked in confidently.

He knew the mechanics of the Nightmare; he could leave this place as long as he found a Nightmare Master.

Like the Ghost Dream of Dogs, Nightmares have the ability to pull people into dreams. Once a Ghost Master enters, he will lose all supernatural abilities and become an ordinary person.

Ghost dreams pull people into their dreams and have a certain range of influence, but nightmares ignore distance and directly invade other people's dreams.

Zhuang Boshi clenched his fist. Compared to the ghost tamer who had become an ordinary person in the dream, while his own body was still struggling against more than a dozen killing patterns, he still retained some fighting power due to his spirituality.

It's roughly at the second-order genetic lock stage, meaning it can probably only kill a thousand ordinary people with its bare hands.

If the king dares to appear before them, they will be taught a lesson about what a righteous duel truly is.

Although the castle was old, it was not dilapidated. The floor was covered with a bright red carpet, and dim candlelight flickered on the walls. Although the air was filled with a musty smell, there were also traces of life.

"Come out, stop hiding. You went to so much trouble to pull me into this dream, and now you're hiding away? That's a bit impolite," Zhuang Bo said.

The sound echoed within the castle, extending deep into its heart before finally disappearing.

The empty castle was deathly silent, and no one responded.

Zhuang Boshi sneered again: "If you can't understand human language, do you need me to speak ghost language?"

The sound continued to echo.

At this moment, there was a response.

From deep within the castle, a voice, neither clearly male nor female, echoed.

"Even in a dream, it's better to be careful."

"Who are you?" Zhuang Boshi raised an eyebrow.

"Please allow me not to introduce myself, after all, you have the ability to kill missionaries with a long-range curse, and I dare not take the risk," the voice replied.

"Your King's Organization is just like a stinking rat," Zhuang Boshi said coldly.

"You set up this whole scheme just to kill me, didn't you?"

The voice chuckled, "Even though we have complete control, we still lack the confidence to kill you."

“You are an outsider who has killed eight kings in two days.”

“We have no chance of winning a direct confrontation. After all, even the manor lord died at your hands. He was one of the top kings among us.”

"You activated the ghostly phone call, the ghostly scissors, the puppet, and a dozen or so other random remote curses. You must have paid a heavy price," Zhuang Boshi said.

"And the wishing ghost, you should have found it long ago and helped it gain the ability to move freely without a host."

"They're still harassing Zhao Kaiming to this day, just to trick me into joining their scheme."

"Hahaha, that's right, we paid a heavy price, but it was all worth it." A second voice rang out, laughing shrilly.

"Mr. Zhuang, you have no idea how much preparation we made for this attack!"

"The overall plan to unleash the vengeful spirit is merely a facade."

"The most crucial thing is to formulate a battle plan based on your killing patterns."

My killing pattern?
They're treating me like a vengeful ghost!

The shrill voice said smugly.

"The first rule of killing is the invisible strike from a distance."

"It can tear apart the body of a ghost tamer. For a ghost tamer without a ghost domain, dealing with it is even more troublesome than the killing pattern of an A-level vengeful ghost."

"The second rule of killing is the ability to freely combine and manipulate gold to shape it."

"You used this ability to imprison thousands of vengeful ghosts in the haunted apartment. This ability is very effective against vengeful ghosts, but we are still half-human, so it shouldn't be that difficult to open your golden shell with a weapon."

"The third rule of killing is a vicious curse with an ultra-long range."

"You used this ability to curse and kill the missionary. Anyone who knows the real name or nickname can use it. Those who lack consciousness and are supernatural beings cannot stop it."

"The fourth rule of killing is the ability to teleport through a ghostly domain of a certain intensity."

"This is not the teleportation within the ghost domain of an ordinary ghost tamer, but the ability to traverse any node in space. However, according to our calculations, you will be unable to use it when the strength of the ghost domain reaches an extremely high level."

"The fifth and most crucial rule of murder is the ability to be immune to the murder rule of vengeful ghosts."

"Therefore, we have prepared more than a dozen terrifying curses for this purpose."

"Unfortunately, I forgot about your strange knife; you almost escaped."

Surprisingly, he didn't have the Samadhi True Fire that could kill the vengeful ghost, nor the Magic Cannon that could pierce through the manor owner.

Zhuang Boshi was somewhat speechless: "Is this all you've collected?"

"This is all the information we have. You are too powerful. We had no choice but to resort to such methods. Even now, we cannot imagine how many vengeful spirits you have controlled!" the voice exclaimed.

These guys actually think they're ghost tamers!
It was obvious that the captain, that man-controlling demon, had concealed the information.

The King's Organization is nothing but a bunch of pathetic wretches who are unaware of their role as the king's vanguard.

"You're all just pawns. You still think of me as a ghost tamer? It seems the captain has been hiding a lot from you."

The first voice rang out: "The captain may have been hiding something from us, but we have still completed the mission very well."

"I will ask the captain for clarification on the relevant questions."

Zhuang Boshi saw that these people were only talking and not showing their faces, and sneered: "No one is so afraid of death."

"This is the territory of your King's Organization, don't you dare to stand up?"

"No wonder you only know how to use dirty tricks that can't be seen in the light of day."

"You brought me here to get rid of me, not to chat with me."

"How can you get rid of me without taking action?"

The voice rang out again: "Mr. Zhuang, we have no intention of eliminating you."

"It's just that you chose to launch the Great Flood Plan, so we have no choice but to fight back."

"If you stay here, that would be the most optimistic outcome for both of us."

"It is much safer to trap a strong person than to kill one."

"You are too powerful. Even in this nightmare world, we cannot turn you into a real ordinary person."

"If we show up, you might kill us instantly."

Zhuang Boshi said calmly, "Interesting, but don't forget that every supernatural event has a source, and the Nightmare World is no exception."

"Coincidentally, I know where the Nightmare World originates."

The unfamiliar voice continued to echo from the depths of the castle: "Mr. Zhuang, rest assured, you will only remain lost in the castle forever, and will never find the source."

"Because in reality, you won't wake up."

"Furthermore, we won't inflict fatal damage on you. Someone like you might even have a way to be reborn or resurrected."

"So it's better for us not to meet. You can stay here quietly, and those of you outside should rest and get some deep sleep for a few weeks. I'll come to see you after the Ark Project is over."

Zhuang Boshi frowned, not expecting these kings to be so cautious.

They didn't even dare to show their faces, intending to trap him in this nightmare world, keeping his external body in a deep sleep, unable to wake up.

That's a good method.

But to confine him for an extended period of time would be somewhat naive.

In his eyes, the phantom of bronze gears spun continuously.

In the real world, in a building on the outskirts of Koizumi City, five strangely shaped demon tamers gathered together.

The King, the projectionist, the clown, the astrologer, the assassin.

And the newly added King [CEO] Fang Shiming.

“This is an opportunity. I think we should take this chance to kill him in the nightmare world,” Fang Shiming said, tapping the table in a low voice.

"If we succeed, we can take down the strongest member of the Emperor Organization. We shouldn't miss this opportunity."

Although Fang Shiming was initially forced into thievery against his will, after joining the King's organization, it's unclear whether his mindset changed or he was influenced.

He not only supported the King's Ark Project, but also took the initiative to offer advice and strategies to the King's Organization.

He is in good condition now. With the help of the King's Organization, he has successfully completed the Alien Project, using the suppressed dead machine, which has been hiding the fourth ghost, as his body, and sealing his consciousness inside the camera.

He instantly became a top-tier anomaly who could control four ghosts and was unafraid of their resurrection.

The moment he became an outcast, he felt a surge of pride, as if all the heroes of the world were mere clay chickens and earthenware dogs, and Ye Zhen was no different.

Until he saw the performance of the leader of the Emperor's organization, he was hit with a stick so hard that he saw stars and his momentum vanished.

“We’ve already spent so many resources. If we don’t kill him now, we’ll be the ones who die when he escapes.” The assassin also strongly supported Fang Shiming.

“That’s right. Since we’re going to make a move, we should go all out,” Fang Shiming said grimly.

Although he has become an anomaly, to be fair, the ghost's sealing of the ghost realm and the inevitable death caused by the ghost's call are basically enough to cripple him.

But the leader of that emperor's organization bravely endured more than a dozen death curses, fought his way through the encirclement of hundreds of vengeful ghosts, and fought his way through the nightmare to reach the wishing ghost.

What a joke!
Even vengeful ghosts aren't that exaggerated!
Fang Shiming looked out the window at the dimly lit ghostly realm, which was a terrifying vengeful ghost. Even he, in his current state, could not penetrate that ghostly realm.

"If we're going to kill him, we need to find a way to do it!" the projectionist said helplessly.

"He was attacked by a series of terrifying and deadly supernatural phenomena, including a ghostly phone call, ghostly scissors, and the evil spirit Pinocchio. Yet, none of them could kill him."

"Are we supposed to rush over and smash him to death with those bricks?"

Fang Shiming gripped the ghost scissors tightly in his hand and remained silent.

He just cut into Zhuang Boshi's photo more than a dozen times.

But instead of killing the man, he couldn't even cut with the scissors in the end. The curse backfired completely, and seven or eight terrifying ghosts attacked him.

If it weren't for the presence of the other four kings, he might have become the first short-lived outlier.

The projectionist tapped the table: "I think we should just ignore him and keep him trapped."

"As long as he doesn't show up outside for a short period of time, our plan will succeed. And don't forget, he still has teammates."

"That terrifying demon is also a monster that cannot be killed by the curse of certain death!"

"If we try to take him down now and fail, the consequences for us will be enormous. We should wait until Project Ark begins before we take any action," the projectionist said.

The clown chuckled: "The old woman has already taken care of him; the devil doesn't have that many tricks up his sleeve."

He looked at the astrologer: "What can you see?"

The Joker's invasion of the future was interfered with by Qin Lao, causing it to be unable to see any fragments of the future recently.

Stared at by the clown's strange gaze, the astrologer felt a little scared. She lowered her head and took out the crystal ball: "The old woman has gone to contact the demon."

"The others are in a room."

"Wait, who is that?" the astrologer suddenly asked in disbelief.

Suddenly, she saw a pair of cold eyes in the crystal ball.

Seemingly sensing that he was being watched, the person looked up.

She screamed, "Impossible!"

Click————

The crystal ball made a cracking sound.

The next moment, a terrifying ghost stood beside the astrologer.

Gala.

The newly appointed royal astrologer had his head ripped off by a vengeful ghost right under the noses of the four kings.
