"Inspector Chen, these forty minutes aren't as long as you think. If you don't try harder..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Huijie's expression changed. She forced herself to stand up and then pushed Jiang Qiu to the ground.
Since there's no way to avoid it, then let's go all out!
Chen Huijie stared intently at the wicked face before her, as if trying to etch this deep-seated hatred into her heart.
In real life, it's one thing, but if I ever run into this guy in my dream again, I'll definitely twist his head off and kick it like a ball!!
But now, in order to save lives, we have no choice but to make the necessary sacrifices!
With this in mind, Chen Huijie no longer hesitated and decisively activated the Sacrifice Seal, attempting to suppress and seal the most evil nightmare in this dream.
But just as he was about to crush them with a death wish—
Poof! ! ! !
Chen Huijie's brain suddenly went blank for a moment without warning.
Without a cry of pain, without a struggle, it collapsed at the slightest touch, passing away silently, its entire body powerless as it fell backward.
If Jiang Qiu hadn't caught her in time, she probably would have died.
This guy has high resistance, but such low defense?
Even though Jiang Qiu hadn't expected the opponent to lose so quickly, she still gave an order to the other end of the earpiece—
"Inspector Chen couldn't take it in the first round, let him fall down."
"learn."
Upon receiving the order, Kaguya waved her hand, and Mikasa immediately cut another rope.
Paji
The moment the little tiger crashed to the ground, she couldn't even make a sound. Her pretty face showed a completely lost expression, as if she had fallen into an abyss.
Meanwhile, Chen Huijie, who had recovered from the brief system outage, also gradually sensed that something was amiss.
What's going on with this strange match rate?
And there's this inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Is that him?!
Or perhaps the impression of being attacked in reality was so profound that it was directly reflected in the dream?
Chen Huijie propped herself up with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, the shadow in her heart gradually growing larger.
In either case, her intuition told her that she was doomed.
This was the only thing she had no chance of winning against; all that awaited her was an even more terrifying and bloody suppression and slaughter.
"Wait, wait! I admit it—"
Before she could even utter the words of surrender, Jiang Qiu covered her mouth.
Under Chen Huijie's terrified gaze, Jiang Qiu revealed an increasingly kind smile.
"Inspector Chen, you are their last hope. How can you surrender?"
"Come on, show your unwavering will and fight to the death. I will give it my all from now on."
"Ugh!!! Ugh-ooh—Goo-ooh!!!"
Even though Chen Huijie cried and begged for mercy frantically, she still couldn't stop the moment when she would truly fall into the abyss.
Within a few breaths, the mournful cries of the lost echoed throughout the entire secret chamber.
Meanwhile, Kaguya, listening to the sounds from the other end of the earpiece, blushed and called out again—
"Let's throw one more. Inspector Chen seems even weaker than these executed ones."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mokou fell heavily to the ground with a thud, groaning and already somewhat dazed.
The only two remaining, Shino and Asuna, stared blankly at the corpses scattered on the floor, their faces inevitably showing despair.
Why is it being delivered faster and faster?!
Inspector Chan, you better step up!
Chapter 106, Section 107: Kai Cat recommends Dr. Komeiji Satoru.
Congratulations to the bandit forces for their final victory!
The dream game will end in three minutes. Winning players, please fill in your wishes during this time.
[Looking forward to seeing you all again in the next dream. (Tooth VII Lu Jiu Yishan*, Ba Qun Du)]
As the amusement park system's notification sound echoed throughout the dream, time seemed to stand still in the entire world.
When the familiar mission screen reappeared in front of Kaguya and the others, no more text appeared on it.
Instead, whiteboards and pens for filling in wishes emerged from them and fell into their hands.
"Wow, it looks pretty good."
Kaguya examined the whiteboard in her hand with great interest; it felt like parchment used to make contracts.
"Do you have any wishes you'd like to fill in?"
"Hey, this thing seems to only grant small wishes, I can't really think of any right now."
"Xiao Shi, what are you planning to write?"
"I want my sister to vent her anger, extend my godfather's campus card validity period, have a crazy string of lucky draws, and pass all my exams—that's all I want to achieve."
Fu Shi muttered to herself, her pretty face full of conflicted expression.
If only one can be achieved, it's a bit of a dilemma.
Compared to the conflicted Fu Shi and the others, Jiang Qiu was much more decisive when writing down her wishes, even fearing that if she wrote them too late, Chen Huijie would come and settle accounts with her.
[Hopefully, Chen Huijie won't be tempted to kill after discovering the truth about the Holy Grail.]
The moment the wish was written down, the wishing board instantly turned into starlight and disappeared on the spot.
After confirming that the wish was within sight, Jiang Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With the deadly threat eliminated, there's nothing left to fear.
Snapped! ! !
With the merciless suppression of the Dragon Subduing Palm, Chen Huijie, who was struggling to get up, was instantly forced back into the pool of blood.
"Ugh, you're already done! The duel is over, don't be so cocky."
Chen Huijie gritted her teeth and warned him tremblingly, as blood gushed from her wound, constantly stripping away her strength to resist.
Before she could get up again, another palm strike came down, even triggering her conditioned reflex.
As the familiar sense of connection swept over him once more, it also caused his consciousness to become disordered and scattered, and Jiang Qiu's voice followed closely behind—
"It's still a little while before we're completely separated. Let's hurry up and practice some more to gain more experience and develop better teamwork."
"That way, if we ever face off again, you won't be defeated so quickly."
"No!!!"
Before Chen Huijie could finish speaking, Jiang Qiu lifted her up and plunged her into the abyss. In that instant, her soul left her body for a moment.
But under that terrifying high-frequency resonance, at the cost of consciousness, the soul was forcibly pulled back into the body.
Blood and sweat rained down relentlessly, continuing to write the tragic chapters of the fierce battle.
As the countdown gradually ticked away, until the moment the time reached zero, everyone was jolted awake from their sleep.
Chen Huijie, on the verge of death, sat up in shock, but before she could sit up straight, her waist went limp and she collapsed back down.
His unfocused eyes scanned the all-too-familiar surroundings, and only then did his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settle down.
Thankfully, it really was just a nightmare.
Chen Huijie tried to calm her disordered breathing, her trembling hands touching the familiar bed. Unsurprisingly, the entire bed was soaked with sweat.
Everything must be cleaned up before dawn, since Hoshiguma and Chashu Cat have been staying in the house for the past two days.
If they saw this, I probably wouldn't be able to explain myself.
But as she struggled to get up, her body suddenly jolted, and she tumbled off the bed.
As it crashed heavily to the ground, sweat poured out uncontrollably.
That unknown attack has come again!
While Chen Huijie was biting the bedsheet to suppress her cries, Jiang Qiu was silently testing the rewards of the hidden mission using the Holy Grail.
The amusement park system claims to have increased the upper limit of ammunition storage, but the exact extent of the increase remains to be seen and will require testing.
If the enhancement is sufficient, future battles will be free from the need for healing recovery, making one-on-one combat much more secure.
In addition, he could also feel that the compatibility between Chen Huijie and him had increased to an unprecedented level.
If he were to practice a few more times, he would probably be able to guess the other person's thoughts just by observing the slightest changes in their behavior!
While Jiang Qiu was immersed in testing his abilities, Hoshiguma and Swire, who had already awakened, continued to feign death.
The two people who shared a bed at Chen Huijie's house could both feel how much the bed had been soaked with sweat.
However, both of them thought that it was only their own fault, and neither dared to make any rash moves, for fear that the other would notice their embarrassing side.
The situation reached a stalemate.
Just then, the two seemed to hear some vague noise, and their ears immediately perked up.
It seems Old Chen has been attacked again?
It seems the impressions from reality were too profound, to the point that I actually imagined such an absurd scene in my dream.
I feel a bit bad about it, so I'll treat her to a nice meal later.
As the two quietly savored their dream, Chen Huijie on the other side was already on the verge of collapse.
While struggling to maintain her collapsing consciousness, she shakily gripped her phone and sent a message for help to someone—
"Dr. Kal'tsit, is there any medicine that can effectively suppress evil thoughts and, incidentally, isolate one's own senses?"
""
Kai Maomao, who was drinking coffee and working overtime, stared at the strange message and her eyes widened in surprise.
Did Hoshiguma and Swire give this guy fake alcohol?
Her fluffy cat ears twitched, and then she expressionlessly typed a message to inquire about the situation—
"Has another special circumstance occurred?"
"This time it's even more serious; I can even dream about it."
Kal'tsit remained silent. He had been examined at the hospital before, and there was indeed nothing wrong with the guy's body.
Clearly, Chen Huijie needs to see a psychologist more.
Perhaps the high-pressure work environment has begun to seriously distort her mental state.
After hesitating for a moment, she sent a special address to Chen Huijie.
"You can go here to inquire about the situation; it should be very effective."
"here it is?"
"Earth Spirit Palace Psychological Counseling Center".
"Excuse my bluntness, but your condition is very likely due to some psychological or mental abnormality. Dr. Komeiji Satoru over there should be able to help you."
Chapter 107, Section 108: We've caught a traitor's scent!
"Let me tell you (chew chew chew), I think I had a very strange dream last night (chew chew chew)."
The next morning, Fu Shi, who was squatting by the food plaza at the school gate, was vaguely telling Gouzi Mozai about what had happened the night before.
"I can't remember the specifics of the dream, but I vaguely remember becoming like Superman, practically invincible."
"Even amidst a hail of bullets, I remained unscathed, rendering my opponents utterly helpless."
Lappland and Mordred were both taken aback, and their gazes toward each other became somewhat subtle.
This guy's gotten a bit cocky lately.
