Chapter 177 The Return

Not long after, Chen Ge and the other vengeful ghosts walked out of the school. He didn't see any female ghosts stronger than Red Specters by his side, but the men with the black and white masks looked at his shadow and seemed to see something extraordinary within.

"When do we leave?" Chen Ge didn't mention Zhang Ya. Although the other party had trapped Zhang Ya in this school, they hadn't actually hurt her. Moreover, given their strength, it wouldn't have been difficult to keep them here if they really wanted to. Now wasn't the time to fall out with them.

"Anytime is fine." The man with the black and white mask glanced at his shadow. He also didn't mention the matter, after all, neither side knew about it beforehand, otherwise this misunderstanding wouldn't have happened.

And if Chen Ge dwelled on it, they wouldn't bother saying more. After all, they weren't afraid of a *Xiong Shen* (Evil God) either. Even if they couldn't cooperate and became enemies, there was nothing to fear.

"By the way, we haven't introduced ourselves yet." On the other side, the man with the beast-face mask also slowly walked over. The man with the black and white mask glanced at him, then slowly placed his hand on the mask and gradually removed it.

"My name is Gao Jian, and I'm a streamer." The man before them had a firm expression. His eyes were the most special, as if he had experienced endless reincarnation and seen countless partings of life and death.

Chen Ge and the others exchanged glances and slowly spoke, "Chen Ge, currently running a haunted house."

"Jiang Xuan, used to be a psychologist." Seeing Gao Jian looking at him, Jiang Xuan had no choice but to give a casual self-introduction.

The man wearing the beast-face mask also took off his mask at this time, revealing a young face. He had a contradictory air about him, "Han Fei, a comedian."

"It's you!"

His appearance surprised Shen Luo and the other two the most, after all, their last memory of Han Fei was still when he had seven wives in the game. Who would have thought that he had a hidden identity?

Han Fei looked at them with a smile on his face, but in the eyes of Chen Ge and Gao Jian, this smile seemed very fake, as if it was acted out.

After him, the others also gave brief self-introductions. After that, they began to search for Jiang Xuan's true body. With the Dream Wing Butterfly (Meng Yi Die) present, even if Jiang Xuan's true body was at the *Xiong Shen* level, they could still find a vague direction.

"The darkness in the deeper dream realm has many taboos. We only control one percent of the territory, but your true body has exceeded that range. You will encounter many unknown dangers later. It is best for everyone to be careful."

Gao Jian reminded them that they had been planning in the deeper dream realm for a long time, and completely controlled one percent of the deeper dream realm's territory. This was their foundation, so they were naturally the most familiar with it.

But beyond the scope of their control, even they had to be careful. In this dream world, there was no shortage of all kinds of strangeness. The *Xiong Shen* level wasn't uncommon in the deeper dream realm, and they had fought against evil beings of this level before.

But all in all, their strength this time wasn't weak. As long as they were careful, they could still come and go freely in the deeper dream realm.

It was precisely for this reason that they directly followed the Dream Wing Butterfly (Meng Yi Die) and searched in a certain direction.

When they walked out of the area controlled by Gao Jian and the others, they immediately noticed the difference. The monsters here were different from before. Each one was entangled in sin. Although they were only the size of real people, their aura made people shudder.

"Those are 'Karma' (*Nie*), they feed on evil thoughts, and carry the world's evil consequences. Like the 'Nightmare' (*E*) that we control, they are both top monsters in the deeper dream realm."

Gao Jian explained that *Nie* (Karma) and *E* (Nightmare) were both native monsters in the deeper dream realm. They were all formed from abandoned obsessions and memories in the deeper dream realm. They were pure malice and pure evil.

Once *Nie* (Karma) and *E* (Nightmare) were born, they could be compared to ordinary Red Specters. It was even rumored that some obsessions were mixed together, forming a new will, completely breaking the shackles, and reaching the *Xiong Shen* level.

Those monsters were also the deepest darkness in the deeper dream realm, the true embodiment of evil in the world. Once encountered, there was no need to think much, they could only choose to kill them.

Of course, besides *Nie* (Karma) and *E* (Nightmare), there were many other monsters in the deeper dream realm, mostly existing in different areas, but no matter which type, their strength couldn't be underestimated.

But they had many trump cards, and as long as no one controlled them, they wouldn't encounter any danger.

During this period, there were also many unexpected gains. For example, the Mirror God found his memory fragments. In the past, he had fallen into the deepest darkness and transformed into the unspeakable. His memory fragments eventually fell into the deeper dream realm. After merging, his strength greatly increased.

In addition, Han Fei also successfully obtained Fu Sheng's memory fragments from the Shrine Mission and received a significant boost.

...

Time flew by, and after a few days, their Dream Wing Butterfly (Meng Yi Die) flew to an oddly shaped building. It was a distorted building, with each floor cluttered and staggered, like blocks stacked together.

And when they walked inside, they discovered something different. The interior of the building was actually the same as in the real world. Warm sunlight shone through the corridors, completely different from the black and white world outside.

Jiang Xuan's change was the greatest here. Looking at the scenes inside the building, he seemed to recall many things, his eyes filled with a gentle light that Chen Ge and the others had never seen before.

"You, come with me."

Jiang Xuan said softly, and then took the elevator. Clearly they were in the deeper dream realm, but this elevator had no abnormalities and quickly took them to the ninth floor.

There were only two rooms here. Jiang Xuan seemed to have been here hundreds of times, and walked directly to the right, slowly raising his hand, then paused in mid-air, before turning back to look at the others and saying, "Please wait here for a moment."

With that said, he knocked on the door, and then, with a "click," the door opened, but nothing could be seen inside the room. All that could be seen was a ball of black and white light.

However, Jiang Xuan stopped at the door for a long time, as if he saw a scene different from the others, and finally revealed a trace of a smile, and said, "I'm back."

Bang!

When Jiang Xuan entered the room, the building also began to change. The warm sunlight faded, the walls and floors were stained with blood, and a strong bloody smell constantly rushed out of each room. Cracks spread, and each floor began to be disordered.

In addition, one could faintly hear shrill cries for help, like lives being harvested one by one. Before their eyes, a purgatory seemed to appear, countless lives were dismembered and piled up like mountains, and a blood-colored figure stood in the sea of corpses and blood, merging with the endless blood.

Finally, he was reborn in the sea of corpses and blood, transcending the extremes of good and evil, transforming into a "God" (*Shen*), becoming the greatest taboo under the night.

"How many people did he kill?!" Shen Luo and the others were terrified. The seemingly peaceful Jiang Xuan along the way was actually an ultimate demon. The number of people who died because of him was countless. Just looking at the piled up limbs and severed arms made them feel cold.

Chen Ge and the others were also shocked. As expected, none of the vengeful ghosts who could become *Xiong Shen* (Evil Gods) were simple. The number of people who died in the hands of these monsters was already countless.

"Click!"

A sound rang out, and the scene before them dissipated in an instant. The entire building instantly calmed down, but it was no longer unusual. Instead, it was like other buildings in the deeper dream realm, divided by black and white, with unknown evil thoughts hidden in each room.

And Jiang Xuan also walked out of that room, but his image was completely different. His whole body was covered with dark red patterns, and wisps of black mist overflowed from his body.

His face still had a gentle smile, but now it looked extremely frightening, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood sinking and floating in his eyes, as if he could bury the entire world with a single thought.

"Your true body is really amazing!" Gao Jian couldn't help but frown. Jiang Xuan's aura at this moment had far surpassed ordinary *Xiong Shen* (Evil Gods). Even compared to the *Xiong Shen*-level monsters they had fought against before, he was definitely among the top.

"But compared to that one, I am just an ant." Jiang Xuan's voice was calm, but Shen Luo and the other two couldn't bear it at all. Just hearing his voice made their souls feel like they were about to explode.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuan immediately isolated them, otherwise they would definitely die here immediately.
