This entry is suspicious.

[The Redundant One], [Level One Mystery], [Sensory Deception], [Cognitive Interference], [Indiscriminate Killing]

A blood-red entry hovered above the head of one of the seven people present, its color so thick it looked as if it were about to turn into blood and drip down from the sky.

Under the influence of the strange force, Zhou Ran couldn't tell who the extra one was, but he just needed to attack the person with the blood-red affix!

The blade, propelled by five layers of force, tore through the air, and with a flash of light, it pierced diagonally down from the figure.

Cut in two with one stroke.

The two dislocated body parts slowly fell to the ground, hitting the carpet with a dull thud. The cuts were charred black, and the edges emitted a dangerously hot red glow.

The mangled body twitched a few times, then fell into complete stillness.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the two severed body parts began to collapse and melt, eventually turning into a thick pool of corpse fluid that soaked into the stall.

In Zhou Ran's vision, the crimson words on the strange creature's body slowly dissipated, indicating that it had been completely annihilated.

Su Meilin stared at the slowly spreading bodily fluids on the carpet, instinctively taking a step back, and exclaimed in shock, "How did you know it was him?"

Everyone looked on in surprise, because Zhou Ran acted so decisively, without any hesitation, as if he already knew who the strange creature was.

Zhou Ran sheathed his sword, his face serious: "I've said it before, my intuition is very accurate."

"It seems you do indeed possess some kind of innate talent."

Fang Beichen glanced calmly at Zhou Ran, then said in a deep voice, "We've dealt with the one that infiltrated the group, but there's another one in the bathroom. We've already had two strange creatures enter the room, and there might be more coming, so stay alert."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed, and a long, jet-black sword appeared out of thin air in his palm. The blade was dark and dull, exuding a chilling killing intent.

"A storage artifact?" Cui Jin's eyes widened. "You actually have a storage artifact? Then why can't you pay off your loan?"

"I owe a lot of money, nearly ten million. Paying it back would be too much of a loss, so I might as well come here and clear out all my debts." Fang Beichen sighed. "Now it seems I was a bit too optimistic."

I never imagined that such a bizarre event would be so dangerous; even someone as strong as myself would find myself in trouble.

If I manage to get out of here alive, I promise I'll never get involved in any more strange events again.

Splash splash splash...

Just then, the sound of water spraying in the toilet intensified. Not only the faucet, but also the shower head and bathtub drain started spraying water at the same time. The water pressure was astonishing, and it made a loud splashing sound as it hit the tiles.

The water quickly overflowed the bathroom floor and spread into the living room.

The water was murky and yellowish, emitting a nauseating fishy smell, like rotting seaweed mixed with stagnant water.

Even more bizarrely, the water stains did not flow naturally, but rather spread in a meandering and twisting manner towards the feet of the crowd, as if they were consciously acting.

"Don't touch this water, Fang Beichen, burn it with fire magic!" Zhou Ran shouted.

"I'll do it, you should conserve your energy."

Cui Jin reached out to stop Fang Beichen, his long-dejected eyes suddenly becoming focused and sharp, and he quickly made a hand seal.

"Exploding Flame!"

Cui Jin let out a low shout, and a burst of blazing flame erupted from his palm, transforming into a fan-shaped wave of fire that swept towards the filthy water stain.

boom!

The collision of flames and water caused a boiling and explosion, like adding water to a frying pan. The murky water churned violently, releasing large amounts of dark yellow steam. The stench, amplified by the high temperature, became even more pungent, spreading out in a mingled with the smell of burning.

The filthy water stain, like a scalded snake, quickly retreated into the bathroom.

"They're really afraid of fire!"

Seeing this, Cui Jin dared not delay and controlled the flames to burn his way inside.

"Gurgle... gurgle gurgle..."

A strange, muffled sound came from the bathroom. The sewage, unable to withstand the heat of the flames any longer, began to gather in one place, eventually coalescing into a woman soaking wet.

Its skin was so pale it was almost transparent, as if it had been soaked in water for too long, with faint bluish-gray veins showing through. Its long hair was loose like seaweed, clinging to its cheeks and neck. Water droplets kept dripping from its body, but they were immediately evaporated into mist by the surrounding flames.

The drowned man slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of extremely venomous eyes, with grayish-white pupils and no black in his eyes, staring intently at Cui Jin.

But it stood motionless in the bathroom, its body constantly being burned and evaporated by the flames, and it was completely under control.

"It's working. Keep it that way until it's completely eradicated!"

Zhou Ran shouted, his eyes quickly scanning the room. Time was running out; he had to find a way out quickly.

"Wait...look at the paintings on the wall!"

Su Meilin suddenly cried out in surprise, her finger trembling as she pointed at the wall.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and their pupils suddenly contracted.

Two of the three paintings on the wall had undergone a transformation, changing from static to dynamic!

The first painting, depicting a cruise ship sailing in a storm, was originally just paint frozen on the canvas, but now it seems to have been infused with life. Giant waves begin to surge, one after another, and white foam bursts on the deep blue sea, emitting a silent roar.

Inside the portholes of the ship, the dim yellow lights began to flicker, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, and you could see figures moving back and forth behind the windows.

In the second painting, the molten lava inferno is also awakening.

The crimson magma was no longer still; it began to flow viscously, meandering forward along the scorched ravines. Thick smoke billowed above, and dark red lightning flashed continuously, illuminating the twisted human figures struggling in the magma.

They are struggling to stretch out their charred arms, as if trying to climb out of the picture frame.

The third painting shows that the empty living room remains unchanged for the time being.

"These paintings have come to life!" Guo Fan was so shocked that he sat down on the ground.

"It's eerie." Fang Beichen said with a serious expression.

Zhou Ran stared at the two paintings, his face turning completely grim.

[Cruise Ship at Sea], [Level 3 Eerie], [Space Within a Painting], [Drowning Soul Sea], [Crashing Giant Waves], [The Eerie Ship], [Invasion of Reality], [Fear of Fire], [In the Midst of Recovery]

[Gates of Purgatory], [Level 3 Weird], [Space Within a Painting], [Scorching Radiation], [Lava Splash], [Volcanic Eruption], [Invasion of Reality], [Fear of Water], [In Recovery]

Level 3 eerie!

These two paintings are actually rated as Level 3 eerie!

Zhou Ran felt his blood run cold. Even if Wei Si and Li Feng joined forces, they might not be able to survive two level-three strange attacks, let alone them.

A sense of powerlessness and despair welled up inside me, but it was quickly extinguished.

No, calm down! Calm down! There must be a way out!

Zhou Ran's eyes suddenly sharpened, his brain working at an unprecedented speed, and then he locked his gaze on the last painting.

Why is there no entry for this painting yet? Could it be that this is a more advanced form of the supernatural that hasn't recovered yet?

or……
