Yharnam Running Man, Awoo

It's hard to describe what You Fei saw that made her so distraught.

Since leaving the deep mountains and forests where she grew up to venture out on her own, she has seen all sorts of demons, monsters, and ghosts, so she should have a very strong psychological capacity to accept them.

Mad Lich, Ghoul, and stitched-together monsters are commonplace for her. Unspeakable Sludge and tentacles summoned by Magic Array are also a piece of cake. She has even fought against Ancient Hero who inexplicably crawled out of their graves.

You Fei, whose goal is to leave behind even more and more legendary stories than Jia Paer in his youth, has traveled to all the places her father visited in his youth, and even glimpsed places he never went to. At such a young age, she has already accumulated a wealth of life experiences and has finally made a name for herself.

It wasn't until this year, when she was tired of wandering around, that she finally found a job in the Warrior Country that included room and board and allowed her to slack off.

Originally, she felt that her years of travels had at least brought her to par with Jia Paer, if not surpassed it. But what happened? Not long ago, Jia Paer pulled a fast one, being killed single-handedly by some Demon King Bloodline. This instantly fueled his already high profile, making it burn even brighter.

You Fei has worked hard for so many years and has finally gradually lifted people's impressions of her out of the shadow of her father. But then Jia Paer pulled this stunt, and now people's evaluation of her has changed back to "No wonder she is the daughter of the Sword Saint".

Oh no, years of hard work have been ruined in an instant.

It is said that Jia Paer was able to experience a second spring in her old age because of a dungeon called Saine. Although she knew that if it weren't for the magic and items her father obtained from the dungeon, he might have been seriously injured or even killed in the battle against the Demon King Bloodline, she should thank Saine for both reason and emotion.

But Jia Paer is fine, so You Fei felt she had a little reason to act out a bit, something she'd rarely done before, and it was understandable that she harbored some resentment towards Sain.

Sooner or later, she'll come and challenge the gates of the Zane Dungeon!

Show me how to solo the Zane Dungeon in one life!

However, before she could put this grand plan into practice, she heard that a parasitic monster disaster had broken out in Reid's area.

Firstly, she was quite worried about the safety of the people of Red; secondly, she really liked the dried fish produced in Red; and thirdly, saving a country from disaster seemed to boost her fame. So, with all these factors in mind, she put the challenge of attacking the Zane Dungeon and rushed to Red with the rescue army.

Then he ventured alone into Savis City, where he bumped into the siblings, Van Eysa and Isa, in the museum, and then...

I saw something strange.

You Fei has developed her Unique Talent, empathy, quite well. When she empathizes with the feelings of others, she can choose what she wants to see and avoid seeing strange things or things she shouldn't see that pollute her pure mind.

This time, she used Empathy on Fan En simply to learn his triple spinning attack and his peculiar human-beast-like aura. However, for some reason, this time Empathy did not give her the opportunity to choose what she wanted to see; a whole host of things flooded into her mind.

Not only did she not see what she wanted to see, for a moment, she felt as if she had entered the brain of someone unknown. Deep inside that person's brain, there seemed to be some runes that she could not understand. They were clearly abstract lines, but she felt that they had the feeling of "eyes". She involuntarily made eye contact with those "eyes".

The next second, she felt dizzy and was transported to a cold and austere city she had never seen before. The streets were deserted, but she felt that she was surrounded by something invisible, as if she were being watched by a great being above her. That being had no form and was incomprehensible, yet it seemed to be everywhere.

The rustling of the wind and grass on the street, the soft friction of the fabric of her clothes—every sound seemed to be a vessel for that invisible being. Yet, You Fei felt a strange sensation in her body, as if that invisible being resided within her, or more precisely, as if it lived in her blood!

This feeling of not being able to see the other person yet knowing that they are everywhere, even inside her own body, can drive a person crazy. For a moment, she even wanted to tear open her skin and let the blood flow freely, forcing out that invisible Great One.

But this feeling vanished without a trace after only a few seconds; the invisible presence seemed to disappear from her side as well, as if it had lost interest in her.

Just as You Fei was about to quickly turn off the "Empathy" feature while she was still lucid, an enormous, exaggerated moon suddenly appeared before her eyes in the blink of an eye.

The cold, desolate, enormous full moon stood before us, its stark contrast in size causing us to involuntarily hold our breath—a primal human reaction when faced with something larger than ourselves.

The next instant, the pale silver moon suddenly turned blood red. Her vision was stretched back infinitely, as if she were traveling through interstellar space. But no matter how she looked back, her gaze was forced to be fixed on the Blood Moon until she saw an indescribable figure slowly emerge from the Blood Moon. The figure was shrouded in a thick fog in her eyes, making it a blurry image.

"Ah!"

Just one glance at the beast-like figure caused You Fei to let out a scream, and bloody tears streamed from her eyes. Only then did she realize that the mosaic-like fog was actually protecting her spirit. If she had looked directly at the creature that emerged from the Blood Moon, she feared that her spirit would have suffered a severe blow.

The scene before my eyes flickered again, as if I had returned to the beach where the tides rise and fall, the ground covered with rotten fish and shrimp that reeked of a fishy smell, and the fish's dead eyes gleamed with an eerie light.

You Fei hadn't had time to recover from the effects of the Blood Moon when she suddenly saw the beach again. Although she hadn't seen anything terrifying yet, her heart felt as cold as the seawater, especially since she suddenly realized that she couldn't undo the "I feel the same way" feeling.

She saw hundreds of people whose bodies had mutated into half-human, half-fish monsters kneeling and worshipping something. She didn't want to know what they were worshipping, but her gaze was forced to look over by an invisible force. She looked over with humiliation and reluctance.

"Aww!"

With a deafening scream that could pierce eardrums, a fleshy placenta slammed into her face, smashing her to pieces. The sensation was so real that she genuinely thought she was dead.

After an unknown amount of time, her consciousness gradually returned, and she finally uttered her first words since gaining empathy:

"Gu, kill me."

How could she possibly get her wish? The scene flickered again, and her vision shifted to the interior of a building filled with thick fog, where all sorts of skeletons roamed freely.

What is it this time?

She felt the presence of her body again after a long time, but unfortunately, her body seemed to have no control over her, like a puppet being manipulated by ropes.

In the thick fog, a man whose face she couldn't see suddenly appeared not far away. The man wore a tall cage on his head, locking his head inside. You Fei had never seen such a strange outfit before.

The man suddenly started running, muttering words she couldn't understand at all, and sometimes even screaming. You Fei was shocked to find her body inexplicably chasing after him, pulling out a weapon and hacking at him desperately, as if killing him would end everything.

But this man wearing a cage was clearly quite capable of escaping.

He fled while she chased, but he was not unable to escape.

No matter how hard You Fei tried to move her legs, she couldn't catch up with the man in the cage. Every time she was just a hair's breadth away from touching him, he would suddenly use a brilliant movement technique to dodge the attack and then run away.

An overwhelming sense of irritation welled up in You Fei's heart. Her volatile temper, coupled with the man's constant nagging, created a new level of torment. You Fei was running endlessly through this nightmare, her legs never getting a rest, just like her spirit!

Why am I even pursuing him?!

Why am I seeing these weird things?!

When will these weird things ever end?!

And so, she became addicted to the endless Running Man show.

In short, he won't wake up anytime soon.

"Do you have any leads on this white-haired Yi Sha?"

In the real world, Fan En stared blankly at You Fei, who was standing there like a statue, and couldn't figure out what was going on with her.

Just now, her eyes seemed to emit an incredible light, like some kind of powerful magic. Why did she suddenly stop moving?

Given You Fei's expert-like performance just now, Fan En assumed that her current state was a mysterious ritual before casting a spell, and dared not even touch her, only remaining on guard.

However, the next second, You Fei's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground with a "plop," as limp as a stranded squid.

Fan En blinked. Was this also part of a mysterious ritual?

"Brother! Are you alright?"

Yi Sha rushed over, her little face covered in snot and tears; she had been really frightened.

"It's okay, it's okay." Fan En patted his sister's back, comforting her while recalling how he had gradually descended into madness. He felt a little scared but also very relieved.

This kind of thinking is extremely dangerous.

"Did you subdue her?"

Looking at You Fei lying on the ground, Yi Sha couldn't help but look at Fan En with the eyes of someone looking at a stranger. When would her brother be able to beat this seemingly powerful expert to his knees?

Fan En's lips twitched slightly as he said, "No, I don't think it has anything to do with me. Do you have any more Healing Potion? Give her some first."

Although the other party had tried to disable his mobility, it was also for the purpose of protecting Yi Sha. Fan En thought that this white-haired girl should be a good person.

Moreover, the fleshy ball next to him moved again, and it looked like a new parasite was about to emerge. Fan En was now somewhat exhausted and felt that he could not exert much strength. If he could use the potion to wake up You Fei, he might be able to protect their safety.

Yi Sha obediently took out the Healing Potion, pried open You Fei's mouth and poured it into her mouth. She did not use Blood Vial on her because she felt that it might be incompatible.

As the salty, fish-flavored Healing Potion, a specialty of Red, was poured into her mouth, You Fei's tightly closed eyelids twitched, seemingly about to open, but the salty taste of the potion made her involuntarily want to close her mouth again.

Yi Sha tried her best to pry open her mouth, while Fan En, while keeping an eye on the surrounding fleshy masses, pondered his feelings from just now and was lost in thought for a moment.

In an instant, a parasite burst through the shadows and leaped into You Fei's mouth!

The entire museum trembled once again!
