Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

At this moment, three figures dressed in black uniforms arrived downstairs at Fengyuan Hotel. There were two men and one woman, and their expressions were all extremely solemn.

"Damn it... is the intelligence really accurate? A highly dangerous and bizarre entity appearing in this kind of grand hotel?! Is this something we can handle? Can our team of two mid-level and one high-level fighters hold their own?!"

The girl in the group gritted her teeth and said, her body trembling slightly.

They were all official agents of the Special Operations Bureau for the Strange and Mysterious, and they were in the vicinity of the Golden Phoenix District when they received the report of the "Midnight Student Ghost," so they were the first to arrive.

"Control your emotions, Xiaoying. The more panicked you are when facing something strange, the faster you'll die."

The man at the front also looked rather grim, but remained calm.

"We don't need to confront that thing head-on. Evacuate the surrounding crowd and rescue as many people as possible who are still in a safe area. If we unfortunately run into that demon, you and Pengzi stay behind me and support me. We'll escape if we can, and if we can't, we'll fight to the death to hold it off while we wait for other teams to come to our aid..."

"Captain, you...don't use that thing...your wife is waiting for you at home..."

The male team member known as Pengzi pursed his lips and said hesitantly.

The leader didn't say much, but simply sped up and rushed forward.

The three moved swiftly, and soon the Fengyuan Hotel appeared directly in front of them.

He immediately noticed Li Song and his younger brother standing downstairs.

"Official report! Which official announcement is this?!"

The captain spoke first to avoid misjudging the situation and arousing unnecessary alarm or attack.

"It's me! Li Yong!"

The younger brother raised his hand and said.

"What's the situation now? Do you know where that evil spirit is?"

The situation was urgent, so the team leader wasted no time and immediately began to investigate.

Li Song shook his head and said:

"The last time it was seen was on the 18th floor; we don't know now."

The captain frowned.

The unknown location means a greater chance of running into a demon.

This is not a good thing.

Pengzi looked around, observing his surroundings, and suddenly noticed Di'ao lying in the distance. He was taken aback and pointed at Di'ao, saying:

"Who is that? Did you rescue someone who was attacked?"

Li Song: "Those were our companions. We were attacked by the 'Midnight Student Ghost' when we escaped together."

"Wait a minute? You mean you were hit head-on by that thing?"

Xiao Ying discovered the blind spot and exclaimed in surprise:

"After being subjected to a highly dangerous and bizarre frontal attack and pursuit, two of you managed to escape unscathed? Are you high-level cultivators?"

"No,"

Li Song hesitated for a moment:

"I'm a beginner, and he and my brother are intermediate. The main reason we were able to escape was that someone stopped that evil spirit."

"Did someone stop that evil spirit?"

The official three-person team looked at each other in disbelief, and Xiao Ying said incredulously:

"One person? Stopped a highly dangerous and bizarre entity? Are you sure?"

"..."

Li Song opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

He wasn't confident that Qi Xie could defeat a dangerous and bizarre monster by himself.

After all, this was too unbelievable—the other party's last dungeon run was only at the restricted level.

In his opinion, Qi Xie might already be dead.

"Is it true or not? Don't waste everyone's time by saying things like that!"

Xiao Ying frowned and said:

"Time is of the essence now. What if that evil spirit bursts out of the hotel..."

boom!!!!

Before she could finish speaking, a loud crash came from not far to the side of the group, as if something had fallen from the sky.

Everyone instinctively turned to look.

Smoke and dust billowed.

The next moment!

A figure suddenly shot out from the smoke and dust!

The figure was covered in blood-stained scraps of paper and wore a tattered school uniform.

His head was split in two as if cleaved by a sharp weapon, half of his chest was completely gone, and blood-red paper scraps were flying around and trying to get into the gap.

It was that "Midnight Student Ghost"!!!

The evil spirit rushed out of the hotel!

All five people present tensed up instantly, their hair standing on end.

"Ughhhhhh!!!!"

The student ghost roared and charged towards the crowd, its expression ferocious.

"Me, rough?!"

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!!!!"

"Don't panic! Keep formation!!"

"Captain, watch out!!!"

Amidst the chaos, the three officials, with their exceptional composure, maintained their formation, gritting their teeth as they stared at the student ghost.

The student ghost was getting closer and closer...

The three of them got into position, their heart rates soaring, feeling as if their hearts were about to shatter their ribs!

Then the student ghost darted through the three of them without even glancing at them.

The official trio: ...

Eh?

The three of them turned their heads and looked at the student ghost running away with blank expressions.

Pengzi: "Isn't that... looking down on us so much? That's a bit too arrogant, isn't it?"

Captain: "What the hell...?"

Xiao Ying said hesitantly, "I feel...it seems like...it's fleeing?"

Click, click...

Just then, another sound came from behind.

The three of them were startled and turned to look at the large crater that the student ghost had just created.

Their attention was completely drawn to the student ghost!

I didn't expect that there was more than one creature that just crashed down!

gurgle gurgle...

A slippery, creepy sound rang out.

Then suddenly!

Several pale, illusory tentacles emerged from the bottom of the pit, clung to the edge, and then, with a powerful push, pulled a creature that appeared to be humanoid out of the pit.

"Alas!!!!"

The trio gasped in unison, feeling a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.

What is that thing?!

A broken humanoid creature crawled out from the bottom of the pit, its body and limbs covered in countless cuts and breaks.

What emerged from the breaches and fractures was not flesh and broken bones, but countless wriggling, slippery, grayish-white tentacles, each bearing an eerily sinister pattern that would make anyone lose sanity at a glance.

The creature held a sharp, blood-red axe in its right hand. Its elbow appeared to have been shattered in the fall, leaving several slippery tentacles connecting its right hand and arm.

The tentacles that had just gripped the edge of the pit were its left arms.

Oh right.

Its right eyeball also appears to have popped out.

Now a tentacle is extending from the eye socket, connected to the eyeball like a nerve.

Its eyes, like periscopes, rose up and spun around in mid-air twice before finally locking onto the three people.

I was only stared at for that one glance.

The three of them felt as if their souls were about to leave their bodies and ascend to heaven.

next moment!

The creature suddenly swung its blood axe, charging towards the three men with murderous intent, and grinned maliciously:

"Hehehehe!!! Run!!! Let's see where you can run to!!!"

Three people: Σ( °Д °;)！ ！ ！

The three students managed to barely maintain their sanity in the face of the midnight student ghost.

When the thing came straight at them, the three of them didn't hesitate at all, turned around and ran away as fast as they could.

Don't come any closer!!!

The student ghosts frantically fled in the direction where there were fewer people.

The three people behind him ran for their lives.

At the very back, a blood-covered, seemingly humanoid creature wielding a blood axe chased after them, laughing maniacally.

"Run faster! Run even faster like this! Otherwise, if I catch up with you, you'll be in big trouble, hehehehehe!!"

Li Song and his younger brother watched in utter bewilderment as the four people and the ghost disappeared from sight.

After a long pause, Li Song hesitantly said:

"That last thing...doesn't it look a bit like Qi Xie?"
