Dreamscape Contact

Regardless, it's an undeniable fact that ferns and algae have two different "Profession".

The function of the [Magical Artifacts] is to ensure that monks receive additional "blessings" when they pray, and these "blessings" will also apply to the [Magical Artifacts].

Lin Yu was originally planning to ask about the effects of the [Scepter of Discipline, but he soon witnessed its effects firsthand.

As the chanting, which sounded like singing or reciting scriptures, faded away, the entire longsword shone as brightly as a lamp stick with 100,000 lumens.

Under the bright light, wisps of white smoke rose from the pitch-black Nightmare Substance and the eerie gray-white human hand!

Clearly, this intense light has a purifying and dispelling effect—it's almost particularly effective against things that look like "evil or heretical" practices.

For a moment, even Nian was somewhat dazed.

As a "Detective" and a renowned "crime mastermind," he frequently helps various Player utilize their abilities to devise all sorts of schemes...

As for Nian, he was also very familiar with various "Profession" and [Item].

Similarly, he also recognized the "monk," the [Magical Artifacts], and the [Scepter of Discipline]...

Even though Nian was wary of the other party having changed his "Profession"—although he felt that this guy might not be the Lin Yu he was looking for, Nian still planned to assume that this guy really was Lin Yu.

But I really didn't expect this...

The opponent not only changed their "Profession," but also has two "Tier 2" [Professional Item]!

"This is really not right!"

Twenty felt that he had never encountered such a chaotic situation or current state before.

Even though he mostly works as a "crime consultant," he is, after all, a "Detective."

I've never thought there were so many mysteries surrounding one person!

If the other party is Lin Yu, how could he have created two "Tier 2" beings?

If the other party is not...

Why did this guy appear here at such the perfect time?!

It was less like she had followed Lin Yu in, and more like she had been deliberately ambushed by him.

"What a nasty feeling."

Watching the Nightmare Substance dissipate, Nian gritted his teeth and withdrew the grayish-white human hand.

However, judging from the even more blurred shape of the hand, this thing will not last long either.

The only saving grace was that the strange woman in front of them was also seriously injured.

Blood gushed from the wound on her lower abdomen, and blood also seeped from her mouth and nose.

But she still dragged her gleaming heavy sword and walked step by step toward the direction of Twenty.

"You are indeed troublesome... but I will still kill you."

She offered another, ill-timed explanation.

Twenty's expression grew increasingly irritable.

"What a huge loss! Taking on this 'Diviner' job has led to this mess!"

"I knew things would turn out like this when it involved those guys who were about to become gods."

He spoke impatiently, pressing his hands forcefully against his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, both of them had turned completely grayish-white.

But rather than looking blind, it seemed more like... his eyeballs reflected a grayish-white world.

Behind Nian, a thin, blurry, grayish-white humanoid Wraith crawled out, as if it were Parasitism his body.

The thing's long, thin head had no facial features, only a gaping "mouth" with sharp, serrated edges.

Lin Yu confirmed once again that this thing should have some kind of kinship with the "Shadow-Type Pseudo-Human" he had seen before—because the shape of the "big mouth" that the Shadow-Type Pseudo-Human opened when it was eating was somewhat similar.

"Eat her."

Twenty gave the order in a deep voice, and the grayish-white Wraith immediately pounced on the algae.

Algae raised her gleaming greatsword—the two did not actually collide, but rather the blurry edges and blazing white light swirling around the gray-white Wraith figure were mutually engulfing each other.

In the short term, it seems that algae have gained the upper hand.

Because the grayish-white Wraith could not stop her from moving step by step toward the direction of 20.

However, as more and more blood flowed from Zao's body, her face became noticeably pale.

But she didn't say anything, she just swung the heavy sword in her hand faster and faster.

Old Zheng sighed as he watched this scene unfold.

"What a pity... Although the process was a bit bumpy, the result was roughly the same as I expected."

"And this kid didn't even use his [Exclusive item] in the end... But let's be optimistic, maybe his [Exclusive item] just didn't provide any direct Combat Power."

This time, Lin Yu did not refute it.

Although the situation appears to be deadlocked, the outcome is indeed decided.

Perhaps Zao, who was completely absorbed in the fight, had overlooked this point, but Lin Yu and Old Zheng, who were watching from the sidelines, had never forgotten it...

In this duel, a stalemate means the algae will lose.

From the very beginning, Zao had a "time limit"—she only had five minutes.

And now, the time is almost up.

At Nian's feet, the Black Cat stretched.

"Just to confirm one last time, Nightmare doesn't have any large-scale destructive abilities, right?"

Lin Yu inquired.

Old Zheng shook his head. "Of course not, and even if there were a price... it wouldn't be as simple as losing three days' worth of perception and sleep."

"Then I'll stay and observe," Lin Yu nodded. "If I'm not mistaken... this might actually be a good opportunity."

He stared at the Black Cat, silently counting down in his mind.

Five minutes remain...

The final few seconds.

Five, four, three, two...

One!

Just as the countdown ended, the Black Cat flicked its tail and gently patted the ground with its paw.

The next moment, Lin Yu saw the "Black Cat" begin to "melt".

It melted into a kind of flowing, expanding "darkness".

Unlike your previous pitch-black "Nightmare Substance," this darkness is pure "darkness."

Like a tangible "night," it quickly spread out, covering a distance of about three meters.

Within this range, the algae, touched by the darkness, had no time to react and collapsed to the ground, as if they had fainted.

However, as the creator of this "darkness"... Twenty was not exempted either.

He too collapsed to the ground, and the Wraith behind him vanished.

Seeing this, Lin Yu was not surprised.

"So it really is that Entering Dream technique."

He then pulled out [BBE-300] and the spear he had found, and activated [Prayer Water Necklace] to draw out some blood, attempting to use these methods to attack "Twenty".

However, just as Lin Yu had predicted...

These attacks were ineffective against "Twenty" in his Dreamscape —although his body still existed, it seemed as if he had gone to another dimension.

Those attacks all penetrated him and the darkness that enveloped him.

But Lin Yu was just trying it out casually.

"Alright, since it really won't work, let's stick to the original plan!"

"Hannah, Old Zheng, remember to smooth things over for me later."

Lin Yu continued speaking, and then...

He jumped right down.

Upon encountering that darkness, Lin Yu slumped to the side and fell asleep.
