He Ming's behavior was vastly different from the Ghost Tamer had chased him in the dream. Seeing that He Ming was actually chasing him on foot, Chu Shan instantly realized that she had mistaken him for someone else. The person who had almost driven her to the brink of death in the dream was someone else!
While thinking about something, Chu Shan ran outside when suddenly a tremendous force grabbed her neck and dragged her backward.
"Well--"
A low groan escaped her lips, and Chu Shan was forcibly dragged back to her dormitory.
Because his dormitory was in a remote location, the commotion went unnoticed by others. Chu Shan fell heavily to the ground, and when he looked up, he saw He Ming's eyes filled with rage.
Standing beside He Ming was another unfamiliar young man. The man pointed lightly at Chu Shan, and Chu Shan found that she could no longer move her body.
Chu Shan struggled for a while, covered in sweat, and tried to activate the Fierce Ghost Supernatural within her body, but all her efforts were in vain.
Nightmare is Fierce Ghost that affects the realm of consciousness. He hasn't yet developed this Fierce Ghost to the point where it can wreak havoc in the real world. Meanwhile, the other spirit he controls is also being suppressed. Only now does he realize that he has truly failed this time, and he can only secretly pray that reinforcements will come to his rescue!
Hu Jiu dragged a chair over and sat down in front of Chu Shan, looking down at him. He Ming stood beside Hu Jiu with his arms crossed.
"I have some questions that I need you to answer. Please cooperate." As Hu Jiu spoke, he pulled out paper and pen from somewhere.
"Okay." Chu Shan agreed without hesitation, a fawning smile on her face, like a cute and strong little puppy.
"Tsk~, with such good looks, why does she have to do such bad things?" He Ming blurted out, only realizing something seemed off afterward.
Chu Shan tried his best to put on the kindest and most innocent expression, Hu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Does it look good? I don't think so."
He Ming turned his gaze to Hu Jiu, his eyes seeming to say: You're not jealous, are you?
Chu Shan probably thought so too. He was quite confident in his looks and physique, and he could easily outshine all the young male celebrities in the entertainment industry. Being envied was his fate, and he had always known that.
Hu Jiu only said, "You haven't been with Headquarters long enough to have seen a Ghost Tamer who possessed a transcendent appearance and charm. Once you've seen one, everyone else seems ordinary."
"Alright, enough of this boring stuff. My first question—did you create this Nightmare Game that's plaguing the students of this school?"
Two pairs of eyes stared at Chu Shan Chu Shan, who nodded generously. "That's right, I created the Nightmare Game."
Hu Jiu asked again, "What is your purpose in doing this?"
Chu Shan replied, "To give myself some fun and to test the ghost's abilities, the Fierce Ghost spirit I control is codenamed Nightmare."
"For such an absurd reason, you would hurt innocent college students? Have you lost your conscience?" He Ming angrily rebuked.
Chu Shan, however, didn't take it to heart. "We're all Ghost Tamers, why are you putting on such a show? Which Ghost Tamer doesn't have a few lives on their hands? Besides, I was just scaring people; in the Nightmare Game, not many people actually die."
He Ming sneered, "Don't assume everyone is like you!"
He Ming is a Ghost Tamer morality and conscience have not yet collapsed, but Hu Jiu beside him is not, so he doesn't want to say anything more.
Hu Jiu raised a question, "I think you're lying. If you're just having fun or testing the abilities of Fierce Ghost, there's no need to go to such lengths to create a Nightmare Game. Your attitude towards the chosen students doesn't seem like you're just having fun. There must be a deeper meaning behind the existence of this game, or rather, this organization, right?"
Chu Shan pursed her lips, looking somewhat conflicted. Hu Jiu started writing and drawing on the paper, seemingly recording information. He Ming glanced at the paper but found that there were no words on it.
Chu Shan's expression shifted several times before she finally spoke, "The Fierce Ghost [Nightmare] that I control can grow and develop by exploiting human fear. That's why I created the Nightmare Game, using various missions to scare those students."
"I see, that explains it." He Ming suddenly understood.
"Anything else? There's no need to make the Nightmare Game so formal when it comes to harvesting fear, is there?" Hu Jiu pressed.
"At first, I really just treated it as a game to harvest fear. Later, as my Nightmare abilities strengthened, I felt that I could use this method to cultivate a secret organization of my own, to communicate or exchange information in dreams, making it difficult for outsiders to discover." Chu Shan smiled bitterly. It was a good idea, but unfortunately, it died in the womb.
Hu Jiu's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he was sighing with relief. Fortunately, he had the advantage of being reborn, allowing him to grow up much faster than Chu Shan. One step ahead leads to another, and if Chu Shan's Nightmare Game really grows bigger and stronger, his overall strength in the future will definitely not be inferior to his own.
Hu Jiu: "Next question, let's talk about the changes in Langzhou City. The city's leaders and government officials are colluding to deceive their superiors and subordinates. Who gave them the audacity to do such things? Has the person in charge Chu Yan, become so powerful that he can ignore Headquarters? Or is he backed by some organization? Chu Yan also has the surname Chu. What is your relationship with him?"
"You've asked too many questions at once. Where should I begin to answer?" A hint of struggle flashed across Chu Shan's face.
Hu Jiu scribbled on the blank paper again. "Let's start by talking about your relationship with Chu Yan?"
"He's my bodyguard!" Chu Shan blurted out, then frowned, seemingly not understanding why she had involuntarily revealed the truth.
He Ming, who was standing to the side, was very surprised. He had thought that Chu Yan would be a relative of Chu Shan or something, but he didn't expect that he was just a bodyguard!
"Just what is your extraordinary identity? How come you have the ability to have the head of a city as your bodyguard?" He Ming couldn't help but interject.
"I'm very curious about that too," Hu Jiu said.
Two pairs of eyes were fixed on Chu Shan Chu Shan, making him feel increasingly pressured. He realized that something was wrong with his current state; the person in front of him must have done something to make him more likely to reveal the truth.
"Hurry up and tell us!" He Ming urged, "If you don't tell us soon, don't blame us for being impolite!"
A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Chu Shan's mouth. When he opened his mouth again, he spat out a piece of flesh and a large pool of blood. His face was contorted and he was covered in cold sweat, clearly in great pain. Yet, the look in his eyes was unusually firm.
