Wu Heng stood quietly in the dark sewer.

Feeling Corey's approaching terror, listening to the sounds outside the sewers.

"It Comes!"

He turned his head slightly and looked at the flashlight beam shining from the cave entrance.

Then a thought struck him.

Swine Two's cunning wall enveloped the sewers, quickly concealing its presence.

Corey felt like he had seen a savior. He wiped the blood from his mouth and limped into the sewer.

The passage was deathly silent, devoid of even a single insect.

Only Corey's heavy breathing and footsteps echoed.

"Corey, is this the grave you chose for yourself?"

"Little mouse, you'd better hide well. The cat-and-mouse game is officially starting."

A burst of laughter It Comes the opening of the hole, and four faint cell phone lights simultaneously illuminated the sewer opening.

Corey grew even more anxious. He didn't say anything, but instead shone his flashlight around randomly.

He was searching for Wu Heng's whereabouts.

"No one's here. Nobody's here!"

"Why isn't he here? How could he not be here?" Corey muttered to himself as he couldn't find Wu Heng.

Despair slowly crept onto his anxious face. He felt that if the four school bullies behind him caught him this time, they might really kill him.

"Come out! Come out! Someone It Comes! Come out!" Corey shouted loudly.

The sound startled the four people who were approaching, making them think that there were others lurking there.

But after waiting a moment,

But no sound came from him; only Corey's footsteps and voice could be heard.

"Playing tricks!"

"It seems the little mouse is terrified; it's squeaking incoherently."

"Hahaha, grab him!"

Startled by Corey, the four men, enraged and embarrassed, rushed over, surrounding the pale-faced Corey.

"This is a misunderstanding!"

Corey looked at the four men wielding weapons in a panic, waving his hands and speaking urgently.

"Misunderstand?"

The rich kid in the lead snorted and swung a baseball, hitting Corey on the right knee.

Boom!

Corey let out a scream, and in pain, he knelt on one knee.

"It's really a misunderstanding. Allyson took me to the bar because she saw I was feeling down. There's nothing between us!" To survive, Corey had no choice but to temporarily distance himself from the girl he liked.

Feeling down?

On the other side, the blond youth with a small braid delivered a knee strike to Corey's temple, knocking him to his side.

Corey felt a wave of dizziness and a buzzing sound in his head.

Seeing this, the leader of the rich kids continued to swing the baseball bat, repeatedly hitting Corey, and said menacingly:

"Shoot him! This place is conveniently hidden; even if we kill him, no one will know!"

Immediately following was a series of sharp, slapping sounds, like raindrops, coming from Corey's body.

"Where are you? Help me!"

"Please, please help me!"

As the dizziness in his head gradually subsided, the pain from all over his body suddenly surged towards his brain, causing Corey to keep shouting.

"Hey streamer, get a closer shot! They're It Comes. Zoom in, okay?"

When the two online influencers, who had been trailing far behind the car, caught up,

Corey was already surrounded and beaten by four people.

And in their live stream room

By this time, the number of viewers had exceeded 10,000, and the live chat was flooded with comments.

"Oh my god, this boy is going to be beaten to death! You two go and help him!"

"Yeah, anchor, hurry up there! What are you two grown men afraid of? Help that boy and save his life first."

"I've already called the police, and they said they'll be there within ten minutes!"

"What are you waiting for? Go help him, and I'll give you a tip!"

Then another banner, worth $999, floated by.

This internet celebrity couple, both white men, looked at each other.

"Four against two, what do you mean?"

"We should be able to hold out for ten minutes, shall we?"

"Superior!"

At this point, Corey's voice had lost its strength, and only a muffled whisper remained.

After all, even the four men who beat him were panting heavily.

The two livestreamers, who were hiding in the corner, rolled up their sleeves, fixed their phone stands in place, and were about to get up and make a move, but then immediately shrank back.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they even felt a sense of relief.

Because at that very moment,

Wu Heng appeared like a ghost.

At this moment, he felt the time was almost right.

He then untied the wall of illusion and emerged from the shadows in the corner. The shadow of his body, illuminated by the flashlight that had fallen to the ground, was reflected on the wall like a giant roc that blotted out the sky.

Oh my god! It's a serial killer!

"My God, the legend is true, Michael Myers really exists!"

"What are you all saying? I don't understand."

"Look! There are still people who don't know!"

"The recent horrific deaths of seven people in Haddonfield were the work of this immortal killer. He's not human; he's a true monster!"

Wu Heng's appearance,

This instantly sent the viewers in the live stream into a frenzy, with the number of viewers already approaching 30,000.

Even police cars ten kilometers away stopped and began calling for backup.

Wu Heng only felt the supply of fear power instantly double.

He appeared silently beside the four of them.

The four men who were still beating Corey in the sewers suddenly froze, as if a pause button had been pressed. They remained motionless, frozen in place, still raising their feet, swinging their sticks, and throwing punches.

Wu Heng spoke coldly:

"Humans always repeat themselves like this, please help me, I don't know!"

His words, delivered with a chilling intensity, were eerie and menacing, as if etched directly into everyone's minds.

Viewers in the live stream could also feel this eeriness.

"Your cowardice, your timidity, your ignorance—you have created your own vulnerable personality, you have built your own hell!"

"This is the life you chose."

"You have abandoned yourself!"

Wu Heng's words, like nails, pierced Corey's heart and sank into his soul.

As Corey gradually regained some strength, he reflected on his unfortunate life, realizing he had never experienced family or friendship. He worked part-time while studying, only to be misunderstood by his neighbors as someone who had caused his death. Allyson, the girl he loved, was the only kindness in his life.

However, because of this, she was hated by the boys.

It was as if a cowardly man like him was committing a desecration by even touching the girl. They were clearly in love, so what right did these outsiders have to interfere?

"No, I don't want this, I don't want this!"

"This isn't the life I want!" Corey cried out, like a crippled, defeated dog.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, mingling with the blood on her face, turning into blood tears that fell.

Wu Heng said again:

"Yes!"

"This kind of life has clearly disappointed you!"

"That's why you've chosen to come here so many times."

Wu Heng bent down slightly, and with strong, mechanical arms, he picked up Corey as if he were a chick, handing him the chef's knife again.

"The only chance of survival."

"I've got it. I'll give you a place to stay. You're quite an interesting experiment."

"Cowardly, impulsive, timid, jealous, upright, cruel, full of desire yet utterly ordinary!"

After speaking, Wu Heng took two steps back. The four young people, who had been stiff, regained their mobility at this moment. Due to the inertia of their previous movements, all four of them slightly lost their balance.

Two of them even got leg cramps.

A ruthless glint flashed in Corey's eyes. The moment the four recovered, he used a chef's knife to swiftly slit the throat of the richest second-generation heir.

Immediately afterwards, he rushed towards the young man with the pigtail.

"Heh heh." The four who were originally arrogant and outstanding were stunned with fear. The rich second-generation covered his throat with both hands, struggled for a couple of minutes, and then fell to the ground.

Corey knew in his heart that he was already injured and that he had to strike first.

He absolutely did not want that kind of cowardly life filled with humiliation and suffering.

"Die! Die! Die!"

At this critical moment, Corey had a real realization: he believed that a serial killer like Wu Heng would not stoop to lying.

Four knife holes instantly appeared on the young man with the ponytail. The fear of death made him grip the chef's knife that Corey had stabbed him with both hands.

The two people next to them also realized what was happening.

They tried to turn and run, but found that the place they were supposed to return to had somehow turned into a wall, leaving them with no way out. They could only frantically rush towards Corey.

Despite the pain in his knee, Corey immediately kicked the young man with the ponytail in the stomach.

Grip the knife handle with both hands and pull it out forcefully.

As he pulled out the blade, it also sliced off two of the braid's fingers, like a saw.

The pain caused Xiao Bianzi, who had been stabbed four times, to collapse to the ground instantly, motionless.

Four opponents, and in the blink of an eye, only two remained.

Then, after a fierce battle with the remaining two, Corey killed all four of them, at the cost of losing an eye.

"Hehehe, hahaha. I won!"

Corey stood there listlessly, the chef's knife slipping limply from his hand to the ground. After catching his breath, he picked up the knife again, walked to Wu Heng, and respectfully presented it to him with both hands.

Wu Heng reached out and took it without saying a word, then turned and walked towards the end of the cave, about ten meters away.

The two internet celebrities, who had been stunned, quickly focused their camera on Wu Heng's back after being reminded by the comments.

He slammed his fist into the blue brick archway, causing the stones to collapse and a large pile of gold coins to gush out.

Above the gold coin, there is a hooded mask and a tattered book.

Wu Heng handed the tattered book and the mask to Corey.

Corey took the cold book, feeling as if he were touching the skin of a corpse, and peeled back the thin, tattered pages.

"Fear manifested as seven masks, scattered across the land, each mask possessing its own unique power of fear, and the entire fortune of its former collector."

"Once all the masks are collected, the contents of the Book of Fear will be revealed, and the collector will gain ultimate fear!" Wu Heng continued, speaking with an air of terror.

These words were not only heard by Corey, but also by the 100,000 viewers in the live stream.

And it was imprinted in their minds.

Corey opened the book.

The first page depicts a white, hollow mask, the one Wu Heng wears, named ' Silence '.

The second page features a light green baseball mask titled 'Wail'.

The third page features a long, rectangular skull mask with a stretched-out mouth, named ' Scream,' and this mask is now in his hands.

Below the mask was written a message:

"The reader should recite the mask's maxims and sign their name inside the mask to declare themselves."

Having seen this,

With only his left eye remaining, Corey knew that the ' Scream ' mask must have been given to him by Wu Heng.

He immediately opened the inner layer,

He discovered the mask had a red lining, so he dipped his finger in his own blood and wrote his name inside.

Then, he read it aloud again:

"Ahead lies the beginning of the abyss; those who turn back will remain forever on the other side when fear descends!"

As Corey's voice continued to ring out...

At this moment, Wu Heng decisively took action, combining the power of the wall-breaking technique with emotional power to envelop the entire sewer.

The internet celebrity couple being filmed completely fainted, and their phones crashed.

Corey also collapsed to the ground.

Wu Heng then took out all seven ghosts and evil spirits he had captured in the past two days. The mask had no power, but he could grant them power.

Then they took It Comes a pair of frozen eyes.

The eye itself originated from Wu Heng, because the Seven Fiends Rebirth Ritual requires a spiritual being as the target, and Wu Heng can now regenerate a spiritual eye.

Therefore, he needs to repeat the previous operation.

This is an experiment!

Wu Heng used a curved hook blade to gouge out one of Corey's remaining eyes, then placed the two spirit eyes into their sockets and dripped a drop of parasite liquid into them.

Blood trickled from Corey's eyes, his whole body convulsed, and tentacle-like blood vessels emerged from his eye sockets, connecting with the roots of his new eyes.

As for rejection, it doesn't matter anymore, since it's only for temporary use anyway.

He then arranged the seven evil spirits in order and performed the Seven Fiends Ritual for Corey.

As the raging yin winds within the passage contracted, the seven puppets controlled by Wu Heng and possessed by evil spirits completely turned into decaying debris. Wu Heng then drew the evil spirit sword from Corey's chest.

It was retrieved into the Life Box; it was an important item, and its quality seemed to have improved as the ritual progressed.

Looking at Corey lying on the ground, Wu Heng could already sense the evil aura emanating from Corey. He glanced at the sewers; this place had become a hotbed of trouble, and it was time to move on to another location.

He then turned around and left the sewer without looking back.

Police officers outside the sewers were also lying on the ground.

After Wu Heng disappeared, Corey slowly woke up. He rubbed his eyes, not understanding why he had fainted.

He was immediately stunned!

He discovered that he no longer felt any pain throughout his body, and his eyesight had completely recovered.

What am I doing?

Corey carefully sensed the changes within himself and discovered that something had appeared in his mind. With a thought, he suddenly vomited a pool of abdominal fluid.

The abdominal fluid landed on the ground and instantly turned into swarms of flies.

Moreover, Corey discovered that these flies were under his control and could fly within a meter.

Not only that, Corey also found that his body seemed to have become very light, as if he had lost all feeling.

Meanwhile, the outside world was in an uproar.

The title of 'fear guru' is spreading.
