Infinite Terror: All members of the Zhongzhou team are wheelchair-level enhanced

Chapter 222 Zhan Lan's Inner Demons, Desperate Dreams, and the Powerful Freddy
Zhan Lan established a mental network for the exchange of intelligence.

"The main god is Zhang Jie's inner demon, so what's the situation with the 'us' that's appearing now?" Zheng Zha asked, staring intently at his other self.

The other version of himself stood expressionless on the opposite street, his gaze fixed on him, radiating a powerful fighting spirit.

It's clear that the two are about to go to war.

Zhang Jie said, "Since my inner demons can appear in a materialized form, then the 'us' that appear must also be a materialized form of my inner demons."

Su Bai readily admitted, "It's my inner demon. I wanted to create an extremely strong Central Continent team, and over time, it became my inner demon."

"They are controlled by my inner demons; they are the enemy."

Zheng Zha pursed his lips and said, "Ah Bai, you really care about the Central Continent Team, you've even reached the point of developing inner demons."

He trusted Su Bai even more. Starting with the first Resident Evil movie, he joined Su Bai in horror films, and Su Bai always managed to convince him.

Even his inner demons were ultimately for the sake of the Central Continent Team.

This captain is just too good!

In a sense, Zheng Zha is right.

Su Bai may use some cold-blooded and ruthless methods, but his goal is to build the strongest Central Continent team.

Therefore, as long as they don't fall behind as members of the Central Continent Team, Su Bai will always be their support.

Chu Xuan said, "Now we can be sure that we are dreaming right now."

"Freddy's methods are truly amazing; he can pull us into a dream world without us even realizing it."

"Moreover, we are all having a lucid dream."

"Since it's a dream, it must have a subject. This is most likely Zhang Jie's dream."

Freddy used the technique of 'pulling people into dreams' to draw everyone into Zhang Jie's dream, creating a multi-person joint dream scene with Zhang Jie's dream as the theme.

Therefore, for others to wake up, all they need to do is decipher Zhang Jie's dream and defeat Freddy, who is in charge of everything.

"That giant orb of light from the main god is Zhang Jie's true nightmare."

"As long as we shatter that giant ball of light, this dream world will inevitably change."

"There's a high probability that Freddy will come to stop us."

"Only by killing Freddy in our dreams can we wake up."

“But before that, each of us needs to confront our own nightmares,” Chu Xuan said calmly.

Freddy has the ability to pull people into dreams and then exploit their psychological vulnerabilities to attack them.

Coincidentally, to overcome inner demons, one needs to confront the vulnerabilities in one's mind and undergo repair and transformation.

And that is also the purpose of their trip.

Su Bai reminded him, "The manifestations of inner demons that we can see right now are only mine and Zhang Jie's; the inner demons of the others haven't been seen yet."

"There is reason to suspect that they are lying in wait."

"You should be careful in your actions."

Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Zhang Jie, and Chu Xuan all said "yes".

"Let's start the war, find our respective opponents, kill our inner demons, then gather under the great orb of the Supreme God, destroy the Supreme God, force Freddy to show himself, and end all of this," Su Bai said.

Since the 'Wheelchair-equipped Central Continent Team' has appeared and attacked them, they are Su Bai's inner demons.

Su Bai immediately used his 'Light of the Mind,' a power that could be called 'absolute domination,' to weaken the 'wheelchair-enhanced Central Continent Team.'

This will widen the real gap between them.

Su Bai confronted his inner demons.

Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Zhang Jie, and Chu Xuan also faced off against their wheelchair-enhanced counterparts from the Central Continent Team.

Meanwhile, the rest of the wheelchair-assisted Central Continent team provided support.

……

Beneath the great sphere of light of the Supreme God.

There are also four inner demon bodies.

It was the inner demons of Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Zhang Jie, and Chu Xuan.

At this moment, Su Bai and his five companions were fighting against the wheelchair-enhanced Central Continent team, but that was merely the power of Su Bai's inner demon.

Su Bai, the inner demon, became the main fighting force of the inner demon squad and launched a full-scale attack.

The remaining four inner demons were waiting for their chance to strike.

With a calm expression, Inner Demon Chu Xuan said, "Inner Demon Su Bai has started. I have to admit, he truly lives up to his reputation as our captain."

"His inner demon power is equivalent to the combat strength of a Central Continent team. Even if the members of that team are not as strong as their respective true forms, they can still greatly reduce the energy of our true forms, thus giving us inner demons the opportunity to truly kill our true forms and take their place."

The inner demon Zheng Zha chuckled, "If you want to use the main god's great light sphere for the exchange, you need to defeat the main body."

"This place is equivalent to the inner demon space."

"With every second that passes, our power increases while the power of our physical body decreases."

"If we defeat the main body multiple times, we will become stronger and stronger, while the main body will become weaker and weaker."

"In this process, resources can also be generated that can be exchanged at the Great Sphere of the Main God, making us even stronger."

"I can't wait to find my original body!"

Those possessing inner demons need resources similar to side quest rewards and points to exchange for the divine orb above their heads.

Because the main god's great sphere of light was born from Zhang Jie's inner demons, the energy it needs is the power of those inner demons.

By defeating the original body with the demonic form, one can obtain the demonic power, which can both make oneself stronger and be used for exchanges.

The reason why the inner demon Su Bai was able to exchange for resources from the beginning was because Su Bai had fought against the inner demon Su Bai once and accumulated a lot of exchangeable resources.

So this time, the wheelchair-level enhanced Zhongzhou team almost reached full configuration.

The inner demons of other people appear first, which is why they cannot be directly exchanged.

The inner demon Zhan Lan is in the form of a dark angel, with her white wings turned black and possessing a kind of broken beauty.

"My true form is the nemesis of inner demons, but I am her inner demon. I know her mental vulnerabilities, and I will target her properly so that she has no time to deal with you."

The four inner demons each transformed into a wisp of black smoke and flew off in four different directions.

……

Su Bai battles his inner demon, Su Bai.

He used the power of 'Absolute Domination' to weaken the strength of each member of the wheelchair-bound Central Continent Team.

He tried to contain the power of the wheelchair-bound Central Continent Team as much as possible, but he couldn't.

Using the power of 'absolute dominance' is extremely taxing on one's energy and spirit, and disrupts the body's energy circulation.

If he could suppress him to that extent, he would have no fighting power left to face the inner demon Su Bai.

Therefore, he can only weaken his own forces while maintaining his own combat strength.

Su Bai remained calm as he battled his inner demons, unleashing either a black smoke tornado or a nuclear fusion flying sword.

Or perhaps it's one of the two ultimate sword techniques: 'Refining Sword into Silk' and 'Sword Qi Thunder Sound'.

The inner demon Su Bai can use the exact same moves, which cancel out the power of Su Bai's moves.

"You are me, and I am you; everything you can do, I can do too!"

"In the true inner demon space, you and I can only use our respective Central Continent teams to fight each other."

"But here, under Freddy's dream rules, you and I have the possibility of direct combat."

“We are evenly matched in combat strength, and I also have a wheelchair-level enhanced member of the Central Continent Team by my side to assist me. What do you have to fight me with?!” The inner demon Su Bai grinned maliciously.

"Last time, I let you escape by sheer luck. This time, I'll drag you completely into the abyss and turn you into a demon!"

Su Bai and the inner demon Su Bai clashed with each other, almost simultaneously canceling each other out.

Beside him, the steel winged cone formed by the combined power of Ba Wang and Mu Gang awaits an opportunity to attack Su Bai.

Although neither Ba Wang nor Mu Gang possessed a powerful weapon like the 'Plasma Cannon,' their sweeping attacks with the Vascular King Spear still caused Su Bai some trouble.

The power of the Vascular King Spear was too great, and there was also interference from the inner demon Su Bai.

With two approaches combined, Su Bai found himself stretched thin for a time.

"The demon within me, I defeated you last time, and it will be the same this time," Su Bai said calmly.

Since he brought the Zhongzhou team to actively overcome his inner demons, how could he not be on guard?

The inner demon Su Bai sneered, "Your reliance is Zhan Lan, isn't it?"

"Zhan Lan is a spiritual being with angelic blood and possesses the power of faith, which can indeed exert a strong suppressive effect on us inner demons."

"You beat me in the same way last time."

"But she has her own inner demons too."

"Let me tell you, she can't even protect herself!"

……

The real Zhan Lan will fight against Zhan Lan of the wheelchair-equipped enhanced Zhongzhou team.

The two women were almost identical. Flying in mid-air, they transformed into pure and innocent angels, facing each other.

The two women's battle had no fancy moves or dazzling lights; they simply stared at each other, their eyes turning silver.

They are engaging in a clash of mental strength.

An invisible, ocean-like spiritual force unfolded between the two women, resulting in a head-on clash of spiritual power.

"You seem... a bit weak." The real Zhan Lan sensed that her wheelchair-level enhanced version of herself in the Central Continent Team was somewhat weak. That Zhan Lan was the manifestation of Su Bai's inner demon. The real Zhan Lan stuck out her tongue, "Ah Bai, the me you imagine isn't so great."

However, she then remembered that Su Bai had released the power of 'Absolute Domination' to weaken the entire power of the wheelchair-enhanced Central Continent Team.

Moreover, this is, after all, a manifestation of inner demons. It may look exactly like her, but in reality, it only reaches ninety percent of her level.

It's the inner demons that are getting in the way.

Therefore, it's not that she's incapable, as Su Bai imagined.

The real Zhan Lan thought, "You are fake, I am the real one. I am the real Zhan Lan created by Ah Bai. It's normal that you fake ones are not as good as me."

Suddenly, the sky above her changed color, and darkness obscured all light.

Zhan Lan looked up warily around; it was pitch black.

This was absolute darkness; even her mental scanning was ineffective.

"Uh..." Zhan Lan suddenly felt her emotions fluctuating, becoming very emotional, and her strength was declining at a visible rate.

If she could see, she would find it.

A large amount of black energy appeared around her and was drilling into her body.

As Zhan Lan grew weaker, the Zhan Lan who was fighting her maintained her combat strength, which in turn strengthened her.

Meanwhile, at the edge, the inner demon Zhan Lan watched with a smile as the real Zhan Lan succumbed to depravity—this was all her doing!

"My true self, while you were fighting the fake Zhan Lan, I launched a sneak attack and corrupted your spirit."

"Your real inner demon is a lack of self-confidence!"

Zhan Lan is a highly talented spiritual user in the Reincarnation Space, and her current achievements prove this.

However, Zhan Lan has significant personality problems.

She is prone to going astray.

For example, even though she lives in a struggling environment like the God Realm, she would rather grow flowers and read books than train.

She pursues quality of life, and only when faced with a life-or-death crisis will she fight desperately.

Under Su Bai's deliberate guidance, Zhan Lan's ambition was ignited, prompting her to start working hard.

As Su Bai invested more and more in Zhan Lan, and his expectations grew, Zhan Lan indeed played a significant role.

But this investment and expectation slowly became Zhan Lan's inner demon.

Zhan Lan wanted to become exceptionally outstanding, to live up to Su Bai's expectations and dedication, and even more so, to live up to the trust of the Zhongzhou team members.

She is also working hard to become stronger.

The inner demon Zhan Lan's ability is to weaken the real Zhan Lan.

The more insecure Zhan Lan was, the faster her strength was stripped away.

Right now, the real Zhan Lan's strength is being rapidly weakened, and she is becoming increasingly panicked.

"Hehehe..." A sinister laugh suddenly echoed in the surrounding darkness.

"Zhan Lan, you are too weak. You are not worthy of Su Bai's expectations at all. You have wasted the investment of the Zhongzhou team."

"I am your inner demon, I know you too well."

"You're all bark and no bite. You look strong, but you're just putting on a brave face!"

The words of the inner demon Zhan Lan pierced the heart of the real Zhan Lan like a sharp sword.

Her strength declined rapidly, and she became increasingly powerless against the fake Zhan Lan, which once again proved her weakness.

The inner demon Zhan Lan and the fake Zhan Lan join forces to attack the real Zhan Lan, causing the real Zhan Lan to fall into self-doubt.

"I am you, and you are me. What are you denying?"

Do you think you're very powerful? I don't think so.

"Face your own heart; you are very weak."

"You will definitely disappoint Su Bai!"

The real Zhan Lan's expression changed drastically, and she panicked. "No... that's not it! You're just my inner demon. You're disturbing me. I'm already at the fourth level. I'm very powerful!"

The inner demon Zhan Lan said, "Why are you deceiving yourself? Don't you know how you acquired your strength?"

"Look at Chu Xuan, look at Zheng Zha, or look at Zhang Jie."

"They are all very unique and very capable."

"Chu Xuan has already reached the fourth level of combat power without making a fuss, but he does not show it off and subtly influences the team."

"Zheng Zha is very talented, and his combat strength is second only to Su Bai. He is very strong and motivated, and has never given up on following in Su Bai's footsteps."

“Zhang Jie is already a fourth-level mental power user.”

"Once Zhang Jie overcomes his inner demons, he will be able to fully unleash his power as a mental power user. What do you have?"

"You're nothing but a pseudo-strongman created by the team's resources."

"Are you truly worthy of Su Bai and the Central Continent Team's expectations, and have you become a qualified mental power user?"

The real Zhan Lan covered her head with both hands, refuting the inner demon Zhan Lan.

But that's just how she feels.

She is insecure and lacks self-confidence.

Su Bai is outstanding, and the other members of the Zhongzhou team are also very outstanding.

Does Zhan Lan really deserve the expectations of the Zhongzhou team?

This is Zhan Lan's psychological weakness.

As the influence on the real Zhan Lan grew, her surroundings changed repeatedly, and the distance between her and Su Bai, Zheng Zha, and others widened.

The mental network she built is about to lose connection.

This isn't about growing further apart physically; it's about the real Zhan Lan about to leave this 'shared dream' and fall into a personalized, despairing dream!

Once you enter the dream of despair, your situation will be extremely unfavorable; it is the domain of your inner demons.

"Ah Bai, I...I'm sorry."

Before Zhan Lan fell into a despairing dream, she tearfully apologized to Su Bai through the mental network.

Before Su Bai could reply, Zhan Lan disappeared, and the mental network between everyone was severed.

Just as Zhan Lan was lost in a despairing dream, Su Bai, Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, and Zhang Jie suddenly lost all memories of Zhan Lan.

It was as if Zhan Lan had never existed.

The inner demon Su Bai sensed the power was even stronger and excitedly asked, "Is it Freddy's power?"

"As long as someone completely sinks into a dream of despair, we inner demons will indirectly become stronger, hahahaha!"

Su Bai, using a network communicator, confirmed that the situation of Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, and Zhang Jie was acceptable.

Confused, he asked, "Who has fallen into a dream of despair? We're all doing alright."

Su Bai, the inner demon, was taken aback, then suddenly realized and said, "Have you forgotten Zhan Lan? Hahaha, Freddy is indeed amazing!"

Su Bai immediately contacted Zheng Zha and others via communicator.

No one remembers Zhan Lan.

However, they are certain that they once had a teammate named 'Zhan Lan'.

Because 'Zhan Lan' was trapped in a dream of despair, they lost their memories of 'Zhan Lan'.

This is one of Freddy's abilities.

Even more terrifying is that their memories of all of this are slowly fading away.

It was as if some kind of rule was forcibly erasing everything about 'Zhan Lan'.

They can't remember.

Soon, Su Bai lost his memory of 'Zhan Lan' again, and did not remember that any of his teammates had fallen into a despairing dream and lost their memories.

He calmly looked at the laughing inner demon Su Bai, who in turn looked at the real Su Bai with mockery, "You don't remember again, hahaha, you don't understand, you are bound to lose!"

The real Su Bai was not affected by the words of the inner demon Su Bai, and only asked curiously, "I want to know, are you Freddy now, or my inner demon?"

"If I am truly defeated, will you take control of my body, or will Freddy appear and kill me?"

Su Bai's expression was very calm. "Just like you said, the inner demon within me is also me. This is a battle of our consciousnesses."

"Even if you defeat me, I will still live in reality. It's just that to outsiders, I will appear to have changed drastically and become demonic."

"This is also the mission and meaning of your birth."

"You don't want to kill me, you want to take my place."

"But Freddy's goal is to take my life."

"It seems that I am your common enemy, but you are also enemies of each other."

Are you still my inner demon?

Su Bai, the inner demon, was taken aback. "Of course I'm your inner demon..."

Just as he uttered those words, his body suddenly changed, and half of his body transformed into the shape of a scar from a burn.

That's clearly Freddy's body shape!
“This…this…” Su Bai, the inner demon, was shocked.

Unbeknownst to him, half of his inner demons had also been infected and invaded by Freddy.

It is no longer Su Bai's pure inner demon body!
