Meanwhile, in the real world.

The piercing air raid sirens echoed wildly over the headquarters of the Human Federation.

Long Zhanye slammed his fist on the metal conference table.

The specially made alloy tabletop was smashed into a deep dent.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

The intelligence officer, carrying a thick stack of documents, strode forward.

The paper rustled between trembling fingers.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief: Spatial distortion has been detected simultaneously in all thirty-seven top-tier cities across the country. Over five hundred areas have been forcibly pulled into unknown instances, and the energy sources of all instances are pointing to the same coordinates!"

Long Zhanye stared intently at the blinding red moon on the big screen.

"Is it that Red Moon Castle again?"

The intelligence officer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling.

"Yes, and this time it's not an ordinary projection, it's the real body descending."

"Our advance team didn't even last ten seconds; the last images they sent back were all of those mechanical maids with eyeballs."

Long Zhanye gritted his teeth, his knuckles cracking.

"According to the think tank's analysis, the rules of Red Moon Castle are absolutely mandatory."

The intelligence officer opened another document and pointed to the red text on it.

"In any area covered by the red light, all modern weapons become ineffective."

"Whether it's firearms or missiles, once they enter the Red Moon Domain, they become harmless plastic toys."

Long Zhanye smashed the coffee cup next to him with a punch.

"How did our men die inside?"

The intelligence officer swallowed hard and pulled up a blurry surveillance video.

"He was scalded to death by tea."

"The video shows that after the advance team entered, they were forced to sit at a huge tea table."

"Anyone who breaks the rules set by that white-haired loli will be forced to drink scalding black tea and turn into a mindless puppet."

Long Zhanye stared at the team members screaming in agony on the screen, his face turning ashen.

The conference room door was kicked open.

Hongye strode in, dressed in combat gear.

"Director Long, sending people in now is suicide. The rules of that castle are completely beyond the scope of the Human Federation's analysis."

"Jiang Luo's current strength is probably such that even an SS-level character can't stop her."

Hongye sneered and slammed the silver longsword onto the table.

"In her territory, she is a god whose word is law."

Long Zhanye pressed his hands on the table, his eyes bloodshot.

"Are we just going to stand by and watch her devour our cities one by one?"

Hongye pulled out a chair and sat down, tapping her fingers on the table.

"I went to talk to her, and since she didn't start a massacre immediately, it means there's still room for negotiation."

……

At the same time, at the Shanhe No. 2 Middle School examination site in Shanhe Province.

The cicadas chirping outside the window were so loud it was annoying.

Lin Meng sat by the window, her black pen moving quickly across the science exam paper.

The pen tip made a soft, scratching sound as it rubbed against the paper.

"There are 15 minutes left until the end of the exam. Please be mindful of your time."

The proctor was patrolling the aisle with a thermos in his hand.

Lin Meng had just finished writing the answer to the last physics problem when her fingers, holding the pen, froze in mid-air.

She looked up at the window and saw that the once clear sky had been stained a dark red.

A strong smell of rust filled the air.

"Why did it suddenly get dark?"

A boy in the front row muttered something and looked up at the window.

A huge, scarlet crescent moon was reflected in the windowpane.

The surrounding space began to distort violently, like ripples on water.

Black mist surged wildly into the classroom through the cracks in the door and along the windowsill.

"Students, don't panic, stay seated and don't move!"

The proctor threw down his thermos and reached for his communicator at his waist.

All that remained in the communicator was a piercing static sound.

A series of heavy footsteps came from outside the corridor, accompanied by the harsh scraping sound of something dragging on the floor.

The classroom's iron door was forcibly torn apart by a tremendous force.

Several strange creatures dressed as black maids swaggered in.

They carried giant scissors covered in eyeballs, with black blood dripping from the blades.

"Welcome to the temporary examination hall at Red Moon Castle. Are all candidates ready to hand in their papers?"

The cold, mechanical voice echoed throughout the entire teaching building's loudspeakers.

The students in the classroom screamed in fright and shrank into the corner.

Desks and chairs were knocked over and scattered all over the floor.

Looking at those familiar eerie auras, Lin Meng helplessly reached out and rubbed her wildly throbbing temples.

"I knew it..."

She folded the test paper and stuffed it into the desk drawer, looking out the window at the dark red castle that was expanding wildly in the real world.

"The college entrance exam I've been waiting for is over just like that?"

……

On the top floor of Red Moon Castle, on the luxurious lord's throne.

Jiang Luo swung her two legs, which were clad in white stockings, while peeling a White Rabbit milk candy in her hand.

The panic level on the system panel is jumping wildly at a rate of tens of thousands per second.

"That shabby tin box, Lolo has really wrecked the human world this time, hasn't he?"

The system's mechanical electronic voice carried a hint of barely concealed excitement.

[The Red Moon's descent has successfully covered thirty-seven top-tier cities. The host's current domain has reached the initial standard of an ancient god.]

[As long as you keep reaping fear points, you can completely turn the real world into your backyard.]

Jiang Luo stuffed the milk candy into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out like a little bun.

"What's the point of the back garden? What Lolo wants is for them to obediently hand over all the high-purity soul crystals."

She turned her head and looked at the Thousand-Eyed Demon God standing respectfully to the side.

"Big sister with horns, go keep watch at the entrance. If any old men from the Human Federation dare to bring their troops in, have Lolo tear them all apart and burn them for firewood."

The Thousand-Eyed Demon God knelt on one knee, his enormous black horns almost touching the bronze floor.

"Yes, my great master. Any ant that dares to look directly at the crimson moon will become nourishment for the abyss."

……

On the other side, in the highest council chamber of the Senate.

A hundred-meter-long obsidian round table was surrounded by abyss lords exuding a terrifying aura.

The atmosphere in the hall was so oppressive that the air felt almost frozen.

"What exactly happened in the North District?"

An old monster covered in green scales stood up, slamming his hand on the table.

"That aura of the crimson moon has already penetrated the barrier, and it's even beginning to forcibly assimilate the edges of my territory!"

The one-eyed old woman sitting opposite him sneered and slammed her cane heavily on the ground.

"What else could it be? That upstart girl from the North District, they went looking for her a while ago but couldn't find her, so Satan took his anger out on that clown. Now she's retaliating!"

"What do we do now? This aura is completely beyond our ability to withstand; her domain has even spread into the real world!"

"That's a forbidden realm that only gods can touch. What kind of monster did that white-haired loli swallow?"
