"Ah--"
Surrounded by numerous deformed monsters, Liu Qingxuan screamed in agony. Although her body was not yet injured, her mind had already collapsed.
As the ghost slowly approached, Liu Qingxuan could no longer hold back and tore the yellow talisman to shreds.
"Brother Chu, come quick and save me!"
"Please help me, Chu Shan!"
As she wailed, a flurry of talismans suddenly fell from the sky. Just then, a golden light descended from the heavens, and a young man appeared before Liu Qingxuan in a fantastical manner. He was tall and handsome, and under the golden light, he looked like a god descending to earth.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here," the young man said softly, his voice seemingly full of warmth and strength. Liu Qingxuan instantly felt a sense of relief wash over her. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm tightly, as if she had grasped the last straw.
"Chu Shan, why are you so late? The talisman you gave me didn't work at all!" Liu Qingxuan complained, her voice trembling with tears, clearly aggrieved.
Chu Shan embraced Liu Qingxuan, gently patting her back, his expression showing a hint of doubt. The ghosts emerging from the thick fog had already surrounded the two of them, but Chu Shan remained calm and composed, as if the ghosts were just a part of their play.
Looking at the ghosts and monsters around her, Liu Qingxuan didn't dare to complain too much. She asked anxiously, "Brother Chu, what should we do now? You must have a way to solve this, right?"
Chu Shan nodded confidently, and Liu Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, her panicked emotions greatly calmed.
When she was first captured and trapped in the Nightmare Game, she was panicked and at a loss, thinking she was going to die in this terrifying place. Fortunately, Chu Shan stepped forward and rescued her at the critical moment.
In Liu Qingxuan's eyes, Chu Shan was not only good-looking but also very powerful. He seemed to be a successor of some mysterious sect. Although he never revealed his origins, Liu Qingxuan had already imagined a whole bunch of things.
Ever since Chu Shan entered her life, the Nightmare Game seemed to have turned into a real haunted house adventure. Chu Shan, seemingly possessing information from somewhere, acted as if he knew the walkthrough in advance, and Liu Qingxuan always performed perfectly. She enjoyed the feeling of being envied, admired, and adored. At the same time, her relationship with Chu Shan progressed rapidly. What were the sons of officials, the rich, or the domineering CEOs compared to Chu Shan, this master of metaphysics?
Even though there was a slight mishap just now, and the talisman Chu Shan gave her failed to ward off the ghost as intended, Liu Qingxuan still didn't have the slightest doubt. Maybe the ghost was just too powerful this time.
"Alright, sweetie." Chu Shan smiled indulgently. "Something seems to have changed here. I'll try to find a way to forcefully get you out of here."
"Brother Chu, you're amazing!" A hint of shyness flashed across Liu Qingxuan's face, then turned into a question, "Since you had a way to forcibly send me away, how come I've never heard you mention having such an ability before?"
Chu Shan touched his nose. "Because it's very difficult, and after we send you out, you have to keep a low profile and absolutely cannot let anyone know, otherwise you might be caught up in the Nightmare Game again and put under 'close surveillance'!"
Liu Qingxuan understood. This was a backdoor that Chu Shan had found a way to open for her, and such a thing was naturally something that couldn't be done openly.
Liu Qingxuan nodded, blushing. Then she saw Chu Shan take out a talisman, make a strange hand seal with his hands, and then the talisman burst into flames. Liu Qingxuan's figure gradually disappeared.
In dormitory 317, Liu Qingxuan, lying on her bed, suddenly opened her eyes; she had returned to the real world.
The entire dormitory building was quiet. She tiptoed out of bed to drink water, a sweet smile on her lips.
At this moment, Chu Shan, who had just seen Liu Qingxuan off, could no longer maintain his calm demeanor. He tried to use talismans to dispel the ghosts that emerged from the thick fog, but to his surprise, the effect was minimal!
This greatly alarmed him!
The second Fierce Ghost he controlled was named [Nightmare]. Everything in this Dream Space should have been under his control, so how could something have broken free of his control?
He initially thought it was some kind of Fierce Ghost invading his dream, so he calmly used the talisman. However, the talisman didn't work, which made him a little nervous.
Just as Chu Shan was wondering what was going on, countless White Sash suddenly fell from mid-air, swaying and surging towards him like a tsunami.
"Who!" Chu Shan roared angrily, his body suddenly dispersing into countless talismans that floated in the sky. Each talisman was engraved with extremely strange patterns, and the densely packed talismans flew upwards against gravity.
The White Sash touched the talisman paper, and it vanished and collapsed instantly, like snowflakes falling on burning coals!
Hu Jiu also felt a powerful suppressive force, which surprised him slightly. This White Sash was enhanced by various Supernatural such as Bronze Ancient Tree, Ghost Book, and Mirage Ghost, making it extremely terrifying. Ordinary ghosts simply could not resist it.
Chu Shan simply scattered a handful of talismans, and the White Sash disintegrated!
This is somewhat similar to the Talisman in traditional myths and legends; a light piece of paper, yet capable of causing immense harm to demons and monsters.
Yellow talismans rained down like flowers from a fairy maiden, and the White Sash was quickly and completely dispersed.
However, Chu Shan was not happy about this. He suddenly realized something unpleasant: in order to show off in front of Liu Qingxuan, he seemed to have put himself in a dangerous situation where "the enemy was in the dark and I was in the light."
He had already received word that investigators from Headquarters had arrived to handle the unusual phenomena at Langzhou University. He initially dismissed the investigators, believing that the two ghosts he controlled could easily defeat over 95% of Ghost Tamer in the country, making him the pinnacle of the Supernatural world. He thought the Headquarters investigators were nothing!
But I never expected to be proven wrong so quickly!
Nightmare was so easily invaded!
Although the enemy in the shadows has not yet shown up, Chu Shan suspects that the other party is an investigator sent by Headquarters. Otherwise, it would be unlikely that they would enter his Nightmare World at such a coincidental time to cause trouble!
For safety's sake, Chu Shan made his body disappear, replacing it with countless talismans. He refused to believe that the opponent could find a target!
Moreover, this is a dream world, Chu Shan's home turf. After careful consideration, he felt that "the advantage is on my side!"
The next wave of attacks came quickly. A large amount of foul water suddenly gushed out from the cracks in the floor of the teaching building. Like a living thing, water jets formed whips that lashed out into the air irregularly, each time striking large pieces of talisman paper.
At the same time, a faint smell of alcohol filled the air.
