After the Clash of Metal began, the Magician snapped his fingers.

The entire amusement park world became bizarre and surreal. Everyone you had ever killed, despised, or loved began emerging one by one from the dark shadows.

No one knew where they had come from, nor why they had come.

The moment they appeared, your world was turned upside down between illusion and reality.

Cao Wei, Kamiyo Yunhe, Duke of Silver, the Black Knight Order—one lingering figure after another blocked Qing Chen's path.

Their faces were deathly pale, while their eye sockets were deep black. They looked exceptionally terrifying, as though they had just crawled out of the underworld.

"Why did you kill us?"

"Because you deserved to die," Qing Chen said calmly. "Even if I lived this life over again, even if I lived it ten thousand times over, you would still die. I thought there would be some new trick. I thought you would be as difficult to deal with as Heart's Inquiry. You think you're worthy of being compared to Heart's Inquiry? Get lost!"

Qing Chen walked straight through them as if passing through emptiness, but he discovered that the Ghost Child could not pass through the wall of people. So he turned back and used his already broken body to forcefully push apart every ghostly figure. "Excuse me, make way."

Cao Wei and the others actually moved aside.

Qing Chen carefully instructed the Ghost Child, "Stay close. There are a lot of bad people outside, so don't let anyone kidnap you. Human traffickers are pretty rampant these days. Every last one of them should be arrested and thrown in prison."

Usually, Qing Chen was a man of few words. But now, he was the complete opposite—a chatterbox.

He looked overhead. "The moon is really round tonight."
