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

Chapter 228 Zhan Lan: This is my dream!

It was a five-colored power, extremely dazzling, coming from all directions and landing in front of Su Bai and Chu Xuan.

Within that multicolored power, there was the vibrant energy of swords, the extreme heat of yang, the extreme cold of yin, the power to manipulate machinery, the power of alchemy, and the power of holy angels, among other things.

Various forces flew in, coalesced, and spun endlessly.

As it spun, a man soon appeared wearing a red and green striped sweater, a black top hat, and a steel claw glove on his right hand.

The man's body was covered in burn scars, and his face was extremely ferocious.

He smiled, removed his black top hat, and gave Su Bai and Chu Xuan a gentlemanly bow.

However, his movements were clumsy and somewhat awkward.

Freddy Krueger, the big boss of the Nightmare on Elm Street universe, has appeared.

Su Bai and Chu Xuan hovered in mid-air, looking at Freddy. Just as the two were about to look for Freddy, he appeared on his own initiative.

This means Freddy has gathered his strength!
"Is this the real thing?" Su Bai carefully examined Freddy.

He looked at Freddy in front of him; this Freddy, surrounded by multicolored power, seemed more real than any Freddy he had ever seen before.

Especially the aura he exuded at this moment, at first glance, was no weaker than theirs.

Freddy put on his black top hat, a sinister smile on his face, opened his arms, and said, "Let's end this fight."

He pointed to the side, and the multicolored power on his body surged and fell along his outstretched finger.

Five-colored powers intertwined, with mysterious runes flowing within. In the end, the five-colored powers and runes combined to form a... Magic Cannon!

Just like the four-legged dragon cannon that Chu Xuan manifested before.

It's just a smaller version of the Magic Cannon.

It's somewhat like using an elephant's body, except the elephant's head has been modified into the shape of a cannon barrel.

“Even if it’s not the original body, it must be most of Freddy’s power,” Chu Xuan said calmly.

Su Bai was very curious and found it interesting.

The multicolored power emanating from Freddy was none other than the combined power of the entire Middle Continent team.

He saw his own swordsmanship power, the Overlord's mechanical control power, and Zero's alchemical power.

I also saw some familiar forces, but I couldn't remember whose they were.

He also saw Chu Xuan's power.

Chu Xuan said, "Freddy has the power to draw out the vulnerabilities in everyone's mind, and he secretly seizes the power of those vulnerabilities, thus gaining our abilities."

“My inner demon body was never possessed by him, so it seems he also found a way to obtain my power.”

The Magic Cannon was a power that Chu Xuan had just used not long ago, and it was now in Freddy's hands.

"Hehehe." Freddy let out a wicked laugh. "Your strength is wonderful, much stronger than the teenagers on Elm Street that I killed before."

"Those I killed before were all ordinary people, nothing challenging."

"You all make me feel so excited!"

Freddy is the demon of dreams, the king of dreams.

He can kill ordinary people and teenagers, or anyone who hasn't overcome their inner demons.

This bizarre span is all due to his special abilities.

He can exploit the target's psychological vulnerabilities, dragging the target into despair.

He can absorb the despair of his target to become powerful.

Furthermore, he can acquire the other party's abilities through usurpation!

Those who haven't overcome their inner demons vary in strength; some can play with water, some with fire, and some even possess strange abilities.

How is Freddy able to control all these people without being restrained?

It is precisely because of this encroachment and acquisition!
Everyone has inner demons, and after encountering Freddy's power, the first thing to do is to fight against one's own inner demons.

Almost everyone dies here, becoming nourishment for Freddy's power.

Once someone has finally overcome their inner demons and returned to the safe dream world, they will have to face Freddy, who has been secretly developing for a long time.

While the target was battling his inner demons, Freddy stayed in the shadows, absorbing the power of fear and gaining the target's abilities through usurpation.

No matter what kind of power it is, it is difficult to defeat the power above it.

Those who play with fire can't beat those who play with fire even more powerfully.

The one who plays in the water can't beat the one who plays in the water even better.

With his fully developed physique, Freddy naturally rose to a higher position with the same power.

A person who emerges from a dream of despair will naturally fail when facing Freddy, who wields the same superior power as him.

This is one of the reasons why Freddy can win over anyone who hasn't overcome their inner demons.

He is undoubtedly the undisputed king below the fourth-ranked school!
Su Bai looked at Freddy and said, "He has our power, which is flashy but also very smart. When facing you and me, he doesn't engage in hand-to-hand combat, but uses magic cannons."

Chu Xuan nodded, "Indeed very clever, but still not enough."

Freddy saw the magic cannon beside him fully formed, touched the cannon's body, and immediately channeled his multicolored power into the magic cannon.

The blinding light was born inside the cannon barrel, containing a terrifying aura.

"It's coming!" Freddy chuckled.

He dared not use Su Bai's power against Su Bai, nor did he dare use Chu Xuan's power against Chu Xuan.

Su Bai was someone who had almost overcome his inner demons. He suppressed his inner demons within the sword and refined them, making them one of the materials for the flying sword to awaken its consciousness.

Chu Xuan also overcame most of his inner demons, and even reversed the Heavenly Gang, mastering a part of the rules of the dream.

For Freddy, these two men were formidable and unfathomable.

If he were to use swordsmanship to fight Su Bai, Su Bai would likely have gained new insights and could take it a step further, turning the tables and overwhelming him.

The same applies to Chu Xuan. He doesn't have Chu Xuan's inner demons, so he can only use the rules of dreams to deduce and imitate them.

He simply doesn't have Chu Xuan's brains. Trying to use Chu Xuan's power to fight Chu Xuan is suicidal.

These two men made Freddy wary.

Fortunately, with the existence of the 'Magic Cannon' ability, he was able to fully unleash the power of the entire Central Continent Team.

This gave him the confidence to possess formidable combat power!

The main reason he possessed the full power of the Central Continent Team was Su Bai's inner demons.

Su Bai's inner demons control the wheelchair-level enhanced Central Continent Team, which is a feast for Freddy.

He gained the power of every member of the wheelchair-equipped Zhongzhou team by possessing the inner demon Su Bai.

That's what caused Freddy's five-colored power at this moment.

Facing the imminent activation of the magic cannon, Su Bai, wielding a dark red flying sword, slashed at Freddy with eyes like swords.

This strike possesses the power to cleave heaven and earth, and its target is the Magic Cannon.

As soon as Chu Xuan had a thought, a pseudo-fifth-tier Zhao Yingkong appeared in his dream. Although she was not as powerful as the real pseudo-fifth-tier Zhao Yingkong, she still possessed some of the abilities that Chu Xuan imagined Zhao Yingkong should have.

The pseudo-fifth-tier Zhao Yingkong appeared out of nowhere, arriving behind Freddy and using the Grim Reaper's scythe in her hand to reap Freddy's head.

The two worked in perfect harmony; one slashed the demon cannon with his sword, while the other attacked Freddy.

Slide~
The imminent magic cannon was cleaved in two by Su Bai's sword light, and the multicolored power within it split into several streams, returning to the world.

At the same time, Freddy's head was severed by the Grim Reaper's scythe, the Grim Reaper's scythe that cuts away life.

Freddy's energy quickly waned.

The dead Freddy showed no fear or terror; instead, a smile appeared on the face of his head. "I am immortal!"

In the blink of an eye, both Freddy and the shattered magic cannon transformed back into multicolored power, separating and then reuniting to form Freddy's figure once more.

Freddy's return has made him even more formidable!
He became powerful because of death.

Su Bai: "He has obtained the power of our attack just now."

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses. "It's confirmed now. He's not the real Freddy, but rather a manifestation of most of Freddy's power."

"So we kill him so that he won't really die."

"There is no such thing as absolute immortality in the world. It's just that we haven't found the right way to kill it."

"If he is the real body, our combined attack will kill him and render this dream harmless."

Su Bai acknowledged this point: no matter how strong one becomes, even if one becomes an immortal or a saint, death is inevitable.

If the two want to truly kill Freddy, they need to find his true form.

But they had no idea where to start, couldn't find the target, let alone kill it.

Freddy, now resurrected, was incredibly excited. "Delicious, so delicious! You can't kill me. Every method you use to kill me becomes nourishment for me to become stronger again."

“Every time you kill me, I will become stronger, until… you can no longer kill me.”

"My dominion over both of you will be the end of your lives!"

As he spoke, he channeled the five-colored power within his body into the magic cannon beside him, activating it to bombard Su Bai and Chu Xuan.

Su Bai and Chu Xuan immediately took action, and Freddy died once again.

The next moment, Freddy returned, even more powerful, and continued to activate the magic cannon.

This is an unsolvable situation!

In other words, Su Bai and Chu Xuan broke through the limitations of their inner demons and surpassed Freddy's power control, making Freddy wary.

This forces Freddy to continue strengthening himself through endless resurrections.

Anyone else would have been killed by Freddy long ago. Freddy is truly incredibly powerful; "A Nightmare on Elm Street" no wonder it's a horror film with a very high rate of character deaths.

However, Su Bai and Chu Xuan remained unafraid.

Su Bai asked, "How are you?"

Chu Xuan calmly said, "The analysis is almost complete. What about you?"

Su Bai smiled and said, "I've almost figured it out too."

The two of them had clearly come up with another solution.

……

In a desperate dream.

Zhan Lan curled up like a helpless young girl, her hands tightly hugging her legs.

She buried her head between her legs, hiding in the dark corner, terrified.

The inner demon Zhan Lan is incredibly powerful and looks exactly like Zhan Lan, except that she is dressed in a dark style with black eye circles and black lips.

She stood in front of the real Zhan Lan, looking down at her, and attacked Zhan Lan with words and force.

"Give up, give up, you're just not good enough."

"Give me your body, give it to me, and you'll relax. I'll help you realize your long-held dream."

"I am better than you."

The inner demon Zhan Lan possesses a magical power, stirring up Zhan Lan's heart.

At the same time, the inner demon Zhan Lan reached out, seemingly to touch the cheek of the real Zhan Lan.

But before they even get close, a layer of holy light will appear, blocking the hand of the inner demon Zhan Lan.

Not only did it block it, but when the inner demon Zhan Lan's hand touched the layer of holy light, it would ignite as if on fire.

The inner demon Zhan Lan pulled back in pain, her palm steaming.

Enraged, she was enveloped in black mist and shouted, "Genuine body, give up! You're so weak, you don't deserve to be on the Central Continent Team. There's no point in you living! Don't you understand that?!"

The real Zhan Lan, who was hugging her legs and leaning against the corner of the wall, was really about to break down.

The inner demon's attacks specifically target her weakest points, and can even create the illusion of turning her into an ordinary person, forcing her into a corner to helplessly await death.

If it weren't for the lingering thought of resistance in my heart, which automatically activated the power of faith within me to protect my Lord.

She had already been completely corrupted by evil, and there was no turning back.

"Zhan Lan, cheer up! Cheer up! You can't listen to your inner demons! You have to be strong!" The real Zhan Lan shouted in her heart.

She was aware of her situation and knew that she was struggling with her inner demons.

But knowing is one thing, actually wanting to resist is another.

Zhan Lan is sinking deeper and deeper into despair unless she can find her 'pillar of faith' that allows her to truly confront her inner self and stand up to face her inner demons.

Otherwise, if she continues, her last thought of resistance will eventually be wiped out.

At that time, there will be no more true Zhan Lan in the world, only the demonic Zhan Lan.

From the very beginning, Zhan Lan had something that set her apart from others: she could subtly sense the situation of her teammates.

For example, Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie, Su Bai and Chu Xuan.

In her perception, Zheng Zha was the clearest, while Su Bai and Chu Xuan were the most distant.

She knew that Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie were both trapped in a dream of despair, while Su Bai and Chu Xuan were still in their shared dream.

That's why.

She tried to communicate with Zheng Zha, but to no avail. It would take a lot of strength for her to reach Zheng Zha across the despairing dream.

But she doesn't have that now.

She could only sense the status of each of her teammates.

Then, she slowly discovered a fact.

"Only I can sense the situation of others. Zheng Zha, who is also trapped in a dream of despair, cannot sense me at all!"

"Zhang Jie, who came in later, also never did anything like me, showing empathy for others."

"Even Ah Bai and Chu Xuan, who are in the same dream, do not possess this ability."

If others possessed such sensory abilities, they would certainly try every means to establish a connection with each other.

But she was the only one who tried to do so; everyone else was facing their own enemies.

She also discovered something terrifying.

"I tried my best to sense Ah Bai in our shared dream. I tried everything, and I sensed him, but then I realized... he had forgotten me!"

"No, it's everyone trapped in a dream of despair who will be forgotten!"

"This is Freddy's power."

Zhan Lan suddenly realized that she was the only one who was special!
Within the Zhongzhou team, there is Su Bai, a captain-level figure, and Chu Xuan, a wise man.

All the planning and schemes do not require the participation of anyone else.

All everyone needs to do is follow Su Bai and Chu Xuan's plan and then give it their all.

However, Zhan Lan is essentially a micro-intelligence star whose analytical and planning abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.

When it comes to thinking about the same issue, her ability to acquire information and analyze data is greater than that of the average person.

She can use her skills even when there are no wise men in the team.

This power came in handy when she was overcoming her inner demons, when no one else could help her.

"This is my dream, not Zhang Jie's dream!" Zhan Lan suddenly realized.

The five members of the Central Continent team were pulled into Nightmare on Elm Street and then entered a shared dream.

There is only one master in the shared dream; others are forcibly pulled into it.

Everyone subconsciously assumed that the person in this dream was Zhang Jie.

Because only Zhang Jie had experienced the horror film "A Nightmare on Elm Street," he was someone who would definitely be targeted by "Freddy."

The identities of others are uncertain.

Therefore, everyone naturally assumes that this is Zhang Jie's dream, and that to escape the dream or defeat Freddy, one must start with Zhang Jie.

This is also why they previously targeted the 'Great Sphere of Light'.

But Zhan Lan discovered that they had been wrong.

She is the one who shares our dream!
Therefore, she is able to sense the state and situation of other people.

Even though she was suppressed by her inner demons and became like an ordinary girl with only some instincts, she still possessed this special sensory ability.

"I understand. The best way to build our shared dream is to understand the existence of all five of us."

"The one who knows the five of us best is Ah Bai, and the other is Chu Xuan."

“Ah Bai knows everyone in the team. He is the captain and has a comprehensive grasp of the team.”

"Chu Xuan is a scientist and he knows our physical data very well."

"Freddy, when building a shared dream, it would be best to choose either Ah Bai's dream or Chu Xuan's dream."

"But Ah Bai is very powerful, while Chu Xuan is too abnormal."

"Freddy didn't dare mess with them, so he chose me!"

"I am a spiritual being and also have angelic blood. Every time I build a mental network, it is because I invade the surface of the mental power of the team members with my own spiritual power."

"Although I didn't go deep into their lives, I was able to discern their true emotions and understand their true personalities and thoughts to some extent."

"I know my teammates very well too."

Freddy knew the principle of picking the softest persimmon.

Therefore, when Su Bai and Chu Xuan dared not choose, he settled for Zhan Lan, who was slightly less suitable but also very knowledgeable about the team.

Using Zhan Lan's understanding of the Central Continent team, he unleashed Freddy's power to exploit the vulnerabilities in everyone's hearts.

This place was never Zhang Jie's dream!

"No, I must pass this message on. The shared dream is my dream. I will wake up before the others do."

"Ah Bai and the others don't know that the real Freddy is right beside me."

"It's my inner demon!"

"If Freddy's true form is not defeated, he will only grow stronger until he becomes unstoppable."

Zhan Lan found her anchor of belief and saved the Central Continent Team.

She was indeed very insecure, believing that she couldn't keep up with the Zhongzhou team and that she was too bad at the game.

However, even someone as inept as her can still help the Zhongzhou team and even save it.

She never gave up trying, and she has been working hard all along.

She can't fail here; if she fails here, she's finished.

With this thought in mind, Zhan Lan, who was curled up in the corner with her legs drawn up and head down, suddenly raised her head and faced the inner demon standing in front of her.

"You are my inner demon, but you are also Freddy's true form!"

Suddenly, she radiated a strong holy light, her skin became crystal clear, and a pair of pure white angel wings appeared on her back.

"I, Zhan Lan, am no longer afraid of you. I will stop you!"
