I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

The nightmare of the blood-red bus.

The Countermeasures Bureau's camp is located in one corner of this nightmare area, while the safe zone, which was only recently connected, is located in another corner of the nightmare.

The distance between the two places isn't particularly long.

but,

Inside the camp, the person in charge, Song Jianshen, looked out at the outside world with a grim expression.

Several eerie and countless dangerous figures surrounded the entire camp.

A blood-stained bus was parked not far away, and from it, a series of pale-faced, distorted figures disembarked.

These are all part of the strangeness of the bus.

However, these very "parts" are something that the vast majority of those who fall into dreams cannot overcome.

In the distance, there was also a butcher named Gui, wielding a large knife;

A shadowy figure riding the tide of shadows;

A paper doll, thin as if folded from sheets of paper;

Four eerie statues in total!

Outside the Countermeasures Bureau camp, orange-yellow candlelight burned brightly in the kerosene lamps.

A ring of eerie and repulsive light spread out.

Inside the camp, cursed objects made a cracking sound, followed by sharp bone spikes breaking through the ground, forming a ring of bone fences.

The base of the camp rotated, and the second enchanted object embedded in it emitted a black light.

In the blink of an eye, black lanternfish appeared, swimming in circles around the camp, forming a second line of defense.

Song Jianshen and the others were indeed Dream Fallers who were not very good at fighting, which is why they were assigned to the logistics team.

But thanks to this well-constructed camp, they weren't that vulnerable.

Even in the face of unexpected circumstances, there is still a chance to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

Just ...

"Old Yao and Old Chen are still outside!"

Old Chen, in particular, tried to escape back to the camp but was blocked by something strange.

There was no way to advance or retreat.

Team Leader Song clenched his fist.

Strange figures emerging from the blood-stained bus have already surrounded Old Chen.

Pounce and bite!

But at this moment, whispers echoed, and a surge of magical power erupted within.

"The curse, the eeriness has returned!"

……

Their voices were heard, but their faces were not seen.

The next moment, the world became damp, and a strange figure exuding a strong sense of foreboding and coldness appeared in the world.

No, it's not weird!

Instead, it is a cursed object that almost reproduces a bizarre appearance.

"He's a master of the Ghostly Flow!"

This is also the first innate spell developed by most Yuguiliu—a spell that resonates with one's own cursed object, causing the cursed object to reappear in its bizarre form from its previous life.

……

"Splash!"

A damp mist filled the air, and a strange figure emerged from it.

Her long hair was soaked and draped messily over her shoulders, with water droplets constantly dripping down.

Its face was withered and pale, and its eyes were sunken.

Its lower body was not human-shaped; it resembled murky sewage pooling together, blending into the damp mist.

This was like a real wet-haired ghost, eerily terrifying.

As soon as it appeared, the wet hair continued to extend, strand by strand, forming a long, soaked whip.

The wet-haired whip lashed out violently, tearing through the air with a chilling whistling sound.

"Bang!!"

Before the incredibly strong bus monsters could even pounce, their bodies were whipped into the air like spinning tops, crashing heavily several meters away and knocking away several other monsters.

More bizarre creatures emerged from the blood-red bus, pouring out from the doors and shattered windows.

"This appears to be a rare summoning-type anomaly!"

A magical flying eye hangs high above.

Shi An took in the entire battlefield. He saw the eerie interior of the bus, with strange creatures constantly emerging and rushing out.

They look like humans, but their limbs are twisted, and they run or walk on all fours at great speed, like a series of strange humanoid creatures.

A foul stench filled the air.

But they are merely bizarre appendages.

The wet-haired cursed object, under the blessing of the surging curse power, is almost equivalent to a living monster!

This is the complete form of the Yugui Style!

The wet hair kept spreading, spreading! Like giant pythons.

The monsters pounced and surrounded them, but now it seemed as if they were being hunted by a giant, wet-haired python.

They crashed into a tide of hundreds, even thousands, of giant pythons. Strands of wet, coarse hair spread out and entangled these monsters.

It gets tighter and tighter! It keeps contracting!

The squirming made the monsters creak and crack.

Until a certain moment,

"puff--!"

The grotesque humanoid body was dented, its bones broken, and its entire body was crushed.

A cloud of blood mist exploded with a bang.

Mud and bone fragments fell in a rustling sound from her wet, python-like hair.

This is the ultimate violence! Absolute ferocity!

"That's incredible!"

Team Leader Song in the camp stared wide-eyed. "When did our Baijiang produce such a powerful expert in the 'Controlling Demons' style?"

Old Cai's eyes widened even more.

This wet-haired ghost looks familiar, but... it can't be...

Upon seeing this, Old Chen, a Dreamer from the Countermeasures Bureau who was surrounded, did not hesitate and ran wildly towards the camp.

The bus was the closest thing to him.

But then the bus's two eyes lit up, its headlights piercing through with a blood-red light.

The engine roared, followed by a mist of blood.

The entire bus looked like a giant beast about to pounce.

But the wet-haired python stretched out wildly once again.

Five meters! Ten meters! Twenty meters!

The snake stretched across the sky and earth, passing through the frame of the bus, trapping this enormous creature in the damp mist.

Only then did Old Chen manage to escape to the front of the camp.

The bone spur parted to create a path, and he quickly ran into it.

"They survived."

The wet-haired ghost no longer engages in a bizarre struggle with the bus.

Its power dissipated, transforming into a pure cursed form. It turned into a wisp of ghostly light and flew into the camp, disappearing into the top of the ghost's head.

until this time,

Team Leader Song then noticed that a man in a suit had somehow entered the camp.

"Thank you for your help. We will give you a generous gift from the Policy Bureau afterwards."

Fa Gui nodded slightly.

He has little material desire now, and doesn't care much about the countermeasures bureau or the mission rewards.

He came over only because the store manager requested it.

He looked outside.

The crisis is not over; strange entities are still lurking and waiting for their chance to strike.

Team Leader Song was well aware of the terrifying and bizarre nature of these four figures, and even with the help of a mysterious expert, he could not afford to be careless.

"By relying on the camp for defense, we have a better chance of holding out until reinforcements from the bureau arrive."

But Fa Gui spoke again, "No, our reinforcements have arrived."

Reinforcements?

Are there other reinforcements?

In the distance, a dark sword light pierced the sky.

"In an instant... a single sword strike!"

The sword's edge tore through the black tide. Xuanjian did not enter the camp, but instead targeted the strangeness in the shadowy tide and slashed it one sword at a time.

Another direction.

The butcher was intercepted.

Around the corner, Xi Xue, wearing a wizard's hat and dressed as a witch, walked slowly towards them.

She walked very slowly.

The butcher ran very fast.

The butcher, as tall as an iron tower, contrasted sharply with her petite frame, until…

"Pfft—"

Silver hair coalesced into a sharp spear, tearing through the air and piercing the running butcher in an instant.

Further away,

A peach holding a heart-shaped staff.

Li Wei's eyes shone with a ghostly green light.

There were also groups of "ordinary dreamers" who arrived at the scene.

"We, the reinforcements, came at the store manager's call."
