Fear of food

In Chen Qi's eyes, all he saw was his three employees colliding and fighting against invisible energies.

The situation was chaotic, and he couldn't even distinguish which faction these Nightmare Clan members were on.

However, once the safe house was in place, everything before his eyes changed instantly.

The hidden Nightmare Clan members have all revealed themselves!
For Chen Qi, the safe house is his domain; within its boundaries, he can sense even an ant urinating.

Therefore, even with his eyes closed, he could clearly know the location and movement of each Nightmare Clan member.

Moreover, he also has certain authority within the safe house; for example, he can simply dye these energy entities a certain color with a thought.

Swipe...

Each Nightmare Clan member was stained with various colors, and in Chen Qi's eyes, they all became colorful energy clusters.

The buses in the amusement park started moving instantly and crashed into the orbs of light.

The ball of light tried to dodge, but a giant teddy bear blocked their path from behind, and water from both sides forced them to stay within the bus's route.

bang bang bang...

One after another, the sounds of impact rang out. Chen Qi didn't care what kind of nightmare it was, and treated them all the same, knocking them all away.

Normally, the Nightmare Clan, being invisible creatures, are immune to all physical attacks, but Chen Qi's bus is no ordinary object; it can penetrate all matter and specifically targets the Nightmare Clan.

Even the Nightmare Clan, which parasitizes human bodies, can be forced out.

On the other side, the roller coaster derailed and flew off course, catching all the Nightmare Clan members that had been knocked away.

After circling twice on the track, the claw machine's metal hooks will send them into the Ferris wheel.

These are all first-generation Nightmare Clan members. Even if Chen Qi eats them, it won't benefit him much. It's better to turn them into employees.

Even in the Nightmare Clan's world, these Nightmare Clan members were still powerless against Chen Qi, but there was an exception: Feng Bin.

Despite being hit by Chen Qi's bus, Feng Bin managed to break through the surrounding water flow and escape unscathed.

Immediately, a blood-red domain erupted, attempting to forcibly seize control of the domain's area.

At this moment, the surrounding area was covered by Chen Qi's safe house. It wasn't that those first-generation Nightmare Clan didn't want to use the domain, but that they simply couldn't.

This is Chen Qi's home turf; their domain is suppressed and they cannot unleash it at all.

But Feng Bin broke through the restrictions and began to compete with Chen Qi for control of this area.

"It seems that even in the Nightmare Clan's world, parasitizing humans still enhances the Nightmare Clan's strength."

The Nightmare Clan parasitizes humans, which seems to be a helpless act for the Nightmare Clan in the human world, as they need to rely on human bodies to move.

However, in the Nightmare Clan world, Feng Bin, despite being a member of the same generation of Nightmare Clan, displayed even greater strength than other generations of Nightmare Clan members.

This can also be seen from Chen Qi's three employees; in the recent confrontation, the three of them were stronger than the other Nightmare Clan members.

But his strength isn't that obvious, and he's still not quite on par with Feng Bin.

The reason for this difference probably lies with the "host".

Feng Bin is capable of creating a vortex of erotic energy, and is himself a gifted individual with immense potential, far surpassing that of ordinary ability users.

Feng Bin, relying on his domain, was vying for control with Chen Qi when a giant teddy bear rushed into Feng Bin's domain, raised its giant paw, and slapped Feng Bin down.

But at that moment, within Feng Bin's territory, a giant teddy bear that was exactly the same size and looked exactly like it appeared out of thin air and blocked Chen Qi's teddy bear henchmen.

Two giant teddy bears wrestled together, starting a monster battle.

The only difference between the two giant teddy bears is their color; Chen Qi's inflatable teddy bear is brown, while the one summoned by Feng Bin is blood red.

"It's a mirror image!" Meng Yi reminded her. "Look at the logos on the chests of the two bears!"

Chen Qi's teddy bear henchmen wore clothes with a logo on the chest, but on the blood-red giant bear, the logo appeared in the opposite position.

As Meng Yi said, Feng Bin's ability may be related to "mirror image".

The two giant bears were almost identical in all aspects, making it difficult to determine which was better.

Feng Bin calmly stepped forward a few steps and chuckled, "You are very strong, but my body is also a top-grade vessel. If you were to accept the power of our Nightmare Clan, I might be a little afraid of you, but you are just a human."

"I don't know how you managed to subdue these three Nightmare Clan members, but you can't defeat me!"

Chen Qi didn't waste any words with him. A metal grappling hook descended from the sky and grabbed at Feng Bin.

But then, a blood-red metal claw extended from the ground beside Feng Bin's feet, reaching towards the sky.

boom!
The two metal claws collided in mid-air, clamping each other, neither able to pull the other, thus forming a dead knot.

Chen Qi waved his hand, and the next moment countless claws descended from the sky like rain.

Correspondingly, metal claws sprang up from the ground, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

One against one, each metal claw has a corresponding crimson claw that collides with it, mutually restraining each other.

"It is indeed a mirroring ability." Chen Qi could see it clearly; Feng Bin had replicated all of his methods one-to-one.

Chen Qi's heart stirred, and all the metal claws disappeared.

The blood-red claws also disappeared.

boom!
The bus suddenly made a U-turn and roared toward running over Feng Bin.

Feng Bin tried to dodge using the same trick, but suddenly many claws descended from the sky, and corresponding blood-red claws emerged from the ground. The claws in the sky and on the ground collided, clamped and connected, forming a cage that blocked Feng Bin's escape route.

His left, right, and back paths were blocked, leaving him only able to face the bus directly.

But just as the bus entered Feng Bin's blood-red domain, an identical blood-red bus suddenly appeared.

The two cars collided head-on, with the front of one car sinking into the other, the other car body shattered into pieces, and various parts and glass scattered all over the ground.

Feng Bin stretched and said, "It's no use. No matter what abilities you have, I can replicate them. Even if I can't beat you, you can never beat me either. At most, it'll be a 50/50 chance."

"You are very confident."

Chen Qi remained calm. Although the bus appeared to be totaled, the safe house was essentially a dream, and the bus, being part of it, could be repaired immediately by resetting the dream.

The exchange just now was also Chen Qi's way of testing Feng Bin's abilities; he was observing and analyzing Feng Bin's capabilities.

It is now confirmed that Feng Bin's ability is mirror copying. However, he can only copy things that enter his domain.

The teddy bear and the bus only appeared as mirror copies after they entered his territory.

So dealing with him is quite simple: either break his domain or attack him directly from outside the domain.

The difficulty with the first method lies in the fact that Feng Bin's domain is very solid and difficult to break.

Feng Bin's domain strength far surpasses that of a typical first-generation Nightmare Clan member; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to maintain his domain within Chen Qi's safe house.

At most, Chen Qi could only suppress his domain and continuously compress its scope, but to completely defeat him, he would need to spend time slowly wearing him down.

The difficulty of the latter method lies in the remote attack method, as any physical attack will be copied.

For example, if you stand outside Feng Bin's domain and fire a shot at him, once the bullet enters the domain's range, it will be mirrored and copied, causing the two bullets to collide and thus not harm Feng Bin.

But this was not a difficult task for Chen Qi.

He has been using the abilities of the Dream Thief, but has not used the abilities of the Alien Eater until now.

Seeing that Chen Qi stood there motionless for a long time, Feng Bin couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth:

"Give up. Go back to where you came from. This is the territory of my Nightmare Clan. It is not a place for you humans to set foot in."

Chen Qi stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face, and asked, "Have you ever considered what the meaning of your Nightmare Clan's existence is? Or rather, what is the purpose of your lives?"

Feng Bin was taken aback, then sneered, "Living is just living, what's the point? What purpose do you humans have in living? What significance does your existence have for the universe?"

"Any life is insignificant in the face of the universe; their life and death, all their experiences, are meaningless."

Chen Qi nodded: "Perhaps, but in our human world, any life, even an insect with a lifespan of less than an hour, will complete its next generation within that short period of time."

"To reproduce and continue life is an instinct ingrained in the bones of most organisms."

"But you Nightmare Clan have no reproductive ability, and you can't even die. You can be resurrected after you die. So what is the meaning of your existence?"

"Can people like you even be called living beings?"

Feng Bin opened his mouth, wanting to say something. He knew what Chen Qi meant and what Chen Qi wanted to say, but he didn't want to admit it or refute it. In the end, he remained silent.

That was a fact that many Nightmare Clan members understood after learning about the human world, but were unwilling to admit:
The purpose of the Nightmare Clan's existence is to serve the human world and digest the "desire garbage" of the human world.

Calling them biological entities is an understatement; they are more like the world's supporting machinery.

Their purpose is to keep the human world running smoothly, like a link in a chain of countless parts.

It was precisely because they understood this that the Nightmare Clan went mad and invaded the human world. They were unwilling to accept this fate; they wanted to rebel and become the masters of their own destiny!
They want to turn humans into their slaves!
Feng Bin remained silent for only a second or two before, not to be outdone, and said, "We Nightmare Clan are advanced life forms that you humans cannot comprehend..."

“Speak properly,” Chen Qi interrupted directly. “Your words may affect my judgment of your Nightmare Clan, or rather, the fate of your Nightmare Clan.”

"Haha, you overestimate yourself!" Feng Bin laughed. "My body is absolutely the best vessel among you humans. No matter how strong you are, you are still just a human. Without the blessing of our Nightmare Clan's power, you can never defeat me!"

Without saying a word, Chen Qi opened his mouth and inhaled, and suddenly Feng Bin's body appeared as a double image.

His body was like an ink painting soaked in water, as if something was trying to be drawn out of it.

Chen Qi's ability to devour groups within a certain range has undergone three transformations.

None of the Nightmare Clan members within the safe house's coverage area could escape; they were forcibly locked onto and devoured!
Chen Qi was unwilling to use this tactic because he had developed a "love for talent." Seeing that Feng Bin was quite capable, he thought of taking him on as his employee.

But since he doesn't know what's good for him, I can't care anymore.

Chen Qi took a bite, and Feng Bin immediately let out a scream.

He launched his attack from outside Feng Bin's territory, and this devouring ability was also invisible and intangible, devouring remotely. Feng Bin could not replicate it even if he wanted to.

He can't possibly replicate Chen Qi's mouth, can he?

After two bites, Feng Bin collapsed to the ground, unable to maintain his domain, and the crimson domain shattered with a crash.

Chen Qi could have eaten "three bites of a nightmare", but after thinking about it, he decided not to continue eating.

Without the protection of the domain, Feng Bin became extremely vulnerable and was directly captured by a grappling hook and delivered to Chen Qi.

"Now you should believe that I have the power to decide the fate of your Nightmare Clan, right?"

Feng Bin's face turned deathly pale, and he asked incredulously, "You're just a human, how can you be so strong?"

"I don't know either..." Chen Qi didn't answer him, and continued to ask, "It's the same question as before, what do you think is the meaning of your Nightmare Clan's existence?"

Chen Qi is now facing a choice.

If Feng Bin were in his hands, he could easily kill him or send him back to the human world.

At that time, the passage between the Nightmare Clan world and the human world will also disappear.

Currently, those Nightmare Clan members on Earth have lost their energy supply and have been cut off from their connection with the Nightmare Clan, thus becoming rootless and adrift.

At that time, all the polluted areas on Earth will disappear, and the Nightmare Clan will weaken due to the loss of polluting energy.

As long as Chen Qi sweeps them away one by one, he will eventually be able to eliminate those Nightmare Clan members.

Therefore, in the near future, it is foreseeable that the Earth will return to normal, pollution will be completely eliminated, and the Nightmare Clan will be completely eradicated.

It seemed perfect, but Chen Qi saw the hidden dangers within it.

Because he suspected that the Nightmare Clan was part of what kept the world running!
This operation nearly wiped out the Nightmare Clan. The Nightmare Clan world originally only had a few thousand first-generation Nightmare Clan members, and now the vast majority of them have gone to the human world.

Once the passage was closed, Chen Qi and the various local governments carried out a cleanup, and the Nightmare Clan was almost completely wiped out.

At that time, who will digest the various "desire garbage" produced by humankind?
If the energy of desire is not processed and continues to accumulate, what will be the consequences?
In their world, the Nightmare Clan plants "crops," which are actually sources of pollution. These sources of pollution absorb the desires seeping from the boundary walls and bear "fruit" for the Nightmare Clan to use.

Once the Nightmare Clan is gone, no one will grow "crops" or consume that energy of desire.

When a large amount of desire energy accumulates in the human world, it will be fine in the short term, but as time goes on, the consequences will become more and more serious!
Even a slight accumulation of desire energy can create an area like Spring Rain Street.

What would the world become if desire and energy accumulated in large quantities?

Chen Qi didn't even dare to think about it.

So, is there a way to both eliminate the Nightmare Clan's pollution of the human world and maintain its normal operation? (End of Chapter)
