Chapter 348: When You Die, Don't Blame Me for Not Stopping You

"This is your last words? Hehe, how unfortunate. I don't like to complicate matters."

Faced with this Nightmare Demon's wild fantasy, I directly gave her a sneer.

This Nightmare Demon was truly a competent good sister.

For a Nightmare Demon to be here and still be thinking of her good sisters, how touching.

But as I just said, I don't like to complicate matters.

Even if I am confident that if the Nightmare Demons summoned later are all of this strength, not a single one will be able to leave alive.

"I'm not saying my last words, but declaring!"

At this moment, this Nightmare Demon lowered her head, her hand holding something that was faintly visible.

But since she took this out, even the tone of her voice when speaking to me had changed.

"I admit that your strength and methods are stronger than mine. So you come and kill me. Guess what this is?"

"The... anchor that Ninglan Qiuyu originally obtained?"

I looked at the small statue, not knowing what material it was carved from.

A pure and extreme power lingered on it.

It gave me the illusion that if I destroyed it, it would cause some kind of energy imbalance.

"That's right. Give me a chance. Give me a chance. Whether you give me this chance or not, whether you kill me now or not, I will crush it. This is an anchor. After it is crushed, it will absorb energy to create a summoning channel. I admit that you are very strong, but you cannot contend with space. Even if my sisters come over to die, they can also cause you great losses..."

"Then why should I agree? If I don't agree, won't I minimize my losses?"

"A gamble! Let's have a gamble! No matter who wins or loses in our joint effort in the end, I will tell you a secret about your world!"

"A secret about the world..."

Hearing her words, I instantly reacted.

I thought of the Nightmare Demon before who had unhesitatingly revealed the truth that Ninglan New City was once a part of the main world.

The secret she was talking about now was most likely related to Destiny and the script.

I subconsciously looked at Tan Han, because this seemed to be the answer that Tan Han was looking forward to.

And at this moment, after her eyes met mine, Tan Han also instantly reacted.

It wasn't that she couldn't understand the hint, but the trace of excitement that flashed in her eyes was instantly suppressed by her.

This was not the time to be willful.

God knew what the Nightmare Demon's backup plan was, whether the so-called sisters would be a royal flush.

If Little Han lost, then this would be equivalent to squandering the great advantage she had now.

No one could bear such a price.

This was a mindless adventure, and also not something she alone could decide.

At this moment, I also moved my gaze away from Tan Han.

After all, this was just a hint, a hint of a chance for her to get the answer.

The rest depended on her obsession with the answer and whether she could persuade others herself.

In short, it depended on her own operation.

I just didn't know... what the academy's attitude towards this kind of behavior was.

But last time, that Nightmare Demon had leaked that this place was also a part of the main world and historical secrets, and the academy didn't make any move.

Even the Academy Head had deliberately explained it to me in detail.

But the Academy Head didn't seem to care whether Tan Han knew the truth.

But Tan Han was not the only Child of Destiny gathered here!

Even those from other academies were here!

If this got out, the struggle for Destiny would be like playing poker with all the cards on the table.

So I couldn't take the blame for this myself.

After all, even if the Academy Head could understand me, what about the other teachers?

For example, Lina.

Teacher Ji Niang might not say anything about me, but if those Transcendent Witches who had their own ideas about the script had an opinion about me because of this, then my life in the Witch Academy would not be very easy.

So, to get the answer, you have to have the determination to be the bad guy.

But I won't take the initiative to be the bad guy.

As I was about to make a move, my gaze quickly swept over those guys with the Seeds of Destiny.

I found that almost all of them were looking at that Nightmare Demon with curiosity and exploration.

At this, I also had some understanding in my heart.

And I also put on a posture of swinging my fist, and mercilessly swung a punch at the Nightmare Demon.

This blow was without any reservation.

Even that Nightmare Demon had an incredible expression, not knowing why I would make such a decisive choice.

"Stop!"

"Stay your hand!"

"Show mercy!"

As several voices sounded, I was also subconsciously distracted for a moment.

With a swing of my fist, the Nightmare Demon entered the dream and barely dodged this punch.

The wind from the punch in reality made a popping sound.

Even the Nightmare Demon who had hidden in the dream was still shaken by this punch.

"What? You all want to know the secret? Then are you all decided to bear the price for such a choice?"

I looked at those who had spoken with an impatient look, as if I had been disturbed by these people and hadn't killed this Nightmare Demon with one punch.

If these people who had spoken would even shrink back from my questioning, then they were simply not qualified to bear the price of such a choice.

At least... the acting on the surface had to be like this.

"Do you know how troublesome the Nightmare Demons are? Do you know how many Nightmare Demons she will summon? Do you know how strong the Nightmare Demons that will be summoned are?"

My series of questions silenced them all.

And taking advantage of this gap, several more of the sacrificial ritual pillars in the distance shattered.

The flesh and blood energy gathered above our heads had already shown serious dissipation under the damage of the ritual.

A thick smell of blood filled the entire underground city.

"Don't you want to know why you are here! If I tell you that all of this is not a coincidence, but someone has planned it from behind!"

Faced with my decisive blow just now, this Nightmare Demon had to throw out some more heavy information, trying to firm up those who had just been shaken.

And it was obvious that after her words were spoken, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Of course they wanted to know why they were here.

Was it just because of the Sleeping Curse?

How was that possible!

There must be something fishy in this.

They had died quite a few people along the way to here!

Watching their own classmates die in front of them like this, even those who had no interaction with the other party would feel a kind of inexplicable sadness.

Now, suddenly being told that all of this was planned by someone from behind, of course they wanted to know why!

Just a "why" was enough to firm up the determination of many people who wanted to know.

At this moment, the Nightmare Demon's statement was actually already very explicit, and Tan Han was also very sure that this seemed to be the answer she was looking for.

She felt as if she was being played with.

Whether it was the ethereal fate or a man-made arrangement, she was already in a huge scam, unable to help herself.

If before, these people had joined forces to deal with these enemies because they wanted to go back, then now that they found out they had been deceived, then sorry, they would really just quit.

This emotion would even be contagious.

This kind of rebellious mentality was what this Nightmare Demon hoped to provoke the most.

At this moment, I was facing all the students who were looking here.

I felt as if I were a cruel and tyrannical monarch.

They needed my strength, but they also needed to get an answer, and I had to bear the price.

In the past, I would have long since not given them a good face for this kind of moral kidnapping.

Even now, they were all silent, but they were still silently expressing their demands with their actions.

At this moment, each of them's curiosity about the truth had already turned into a collective demand.

...

Ninglan New City, on the surface.

Ai En Gailand followed the new City Lord in front of him, and carefully came to the unknown underground passage of the Ninglan Township Fortress.

He had never been here before, nor did he expect that there was actually a passage to the underground here.

But fortunately, he had an invisibility wizard tool, plus his powerful tracking skills, the other party had not yet discovered his existence.

He held his breath and followed the other party to the end.

It was a door, a very old-fashioned door.

Just as Ai En thought that this City Lord was going to take out a key to open the door, in the next moment, a low and heavy sound startled him!

The City Lord, whom he had always thought was weak and frail, at this moment, punched the lock of that door.

Then a second and a third time, until this old and dilapidated door was violently broken open.

Ai En Gailand, who was in the dark, was completely dumbfounded.

Was this really that City Lord?

Why did he look so fierce?

So this City Lord was still problematic, right?

Ai En Gailand subconsciously took out the wizard tool to contact his companions.

As soon as it was connected, the City Lord who had just violently opened the door discovered the anomaly.

"Who! Who is there!"

Hearing this angry shout, Ai En Gailand was even more anxious to transmit information with the wizard tool.

And he also directly chose to leave without any hesitation.

That guy was definitely not that City Lord.

If he stayed here any longer, it might be dangerous.

At this moment, that "Ninglan Qiuyu," after holding that white crystal surrounding the Seed of Destiny extraordinary item and walking out of this secret room, this was her purpose for this trip.

After getting the thing, she no longer concealed herself.

And just now, her actions seemed to have been seen by someone, so there was even less need to pretend.

At this moment, she transformed into a Nightmare Demon.

She couldn't be bothered to chase that little mouse who was following her.

It was fine as long as she scared it away.

Anyway, the thing was already in her hands, the extraordinary item that carried the Destiny of the entire Ninglan New City.

With this, then their trip was not in vain!

This was the Destiny of a city, and also belonged to the main world's Destiny.

After going back and giving it to that lord, even if they were at a disadvantage in the struggle for the Nightmare, it wouldn't matter.

And... their Nightmare Demons couldn't obtain the Destiny by killing the Nightmares.

The ownerless Destiny would be captured by Ninglan New City and eventually gathered here.

So getting this was equivalent to getting more than half of the Destiny of this trip.

Even if she encountered the worst outcome and her main body who had created her died, it would not have any effect.

She would inherit the will of the main body and complete the mission given to the Nightmare Demons by the lord.

They, the Nightmare Demons, were an abyssal species not recognized by life.

So they could only rely on more powerful demons and become their playthings.

This was their way of survival in the abyss.

The death of an individual was insignificant.

The continuation of the collective was what was important.

Or rather, their existence was an attempt by the Abyssal Demons to explore the dream.

To be exceptionally included in the Abyssal Demon transcendent race, to become a member of the demons, and to be given the name Nightmare Demon, was already a great gift.

The only pity was that she didn't know how the main body in the underground city was progressing.

She hoped it wouldn't fail.

But when she thought of the gap between the main body and her, she was relieved.

She recognized the strength of the main body.

The only thing she needed to worry about was probably only one, that witch... her methods were really a counter to the Nightmare Demons.

But she didn't continue to think too much.

She just needed to complete the mission step by step.

But when she went out, this Nightmare Demon was ambushed.

It was the people from the Wizard Academy.

But this blow did not succeed.

"It really is a Nightmare Demon. What is that in your hand!"

"Oh? You're the little mouse who was following me just now? Who gave you the courage to face me alone?"

Faced with the other party's questioning, she did not show any worry.

The other party was just an outsider.

"So you Nightmare Demons have an even bigger conspiracy."

"So what if we do? You can't stop me. And the city guards who can help you are not here. What can you do?"

Faced with this Nightmare Demon's arrogant attitude, Ai En also broke out in a cold sweat.

The facts were indeed as the other party had said.

This sense of powerlessness, as if the entire Ninglan New City had been calculated by the Nightmare Demon, was really too uncomfortable.

He just watched as the Nightmare Demon walked past him so unscrupulously.

The other party was even unwilling to attack him.

He could only watch as the other party left.

Of course, more importantly, he was afraid of death.

Facing a Nightmare Demon, if he went to fight alone, it would just be suicide.

And at this moment, the students from the Wizard Academy who had arrived late also came over.

They were also stunned to see that Nightmare Demon walking away so swaggeringly.

"Boss Ai En, what's the situation? Is that a Nightmare Demon?!"

"Yes... that Ninglan Qiuyu is not the new City Lord at all, but a manifestation of a Nightmare Demon... the real Ninglan Qiuyu is probably..."

"What? Then hasn't the underground city fallen?!"

"Even if the city guards have withdrawn and come up, the people from the Earth Patrol Team shouldn't! The extraordinary killers they have, could it be..."

"I'm not sure... let's go! Let's go down and see the underground city!"

Ai En said.

So many students from the transcendent academies had gone down.

Even if the underground city had fallen, he had to see what the situation was with his own eyes.

...

At this moment, in the underground city.

"Yang Yuehan, don't you want to know why all of this is happening?"

"We were sent here for no reason, without any preparation, and have to face the threat of death at any moment. After suffering so much here, don't we have the right to know!"

"Yang Yuehan, you are the same as us, someone affected by the Sleeping Curse. I don't believe you're not curious about this..."

As these people spoke one by one, their voices grew smaller and smaller.

When they met my cold gaze, they understood one thing: their wishful thinking was useless.

Until a figure walked out with the support of someone at the side.

"Although I don't know what you did, but with the strength you have now, I would like to represent the Holy Angel Academy to ask you to help us get the truth. We will do our best to deal with any price we may encounter next. If we are lucky enough to go back, we, the members of the Holy Angel Academy, will come to thank you with sincerity for the help you have provided to all of us."

As Aqier, the representative of the Holy Angel Academy, came over and spoke to me solemnly, the other academies also followed suit.

Since their personal names were useless, then they would use the name of the academy.

If the name was not enough, then they would bring sincerity, real sincerity.

They knew very well that a single Nightmare Demon had suppressed them to such an extent.

Without Yang Yuehan, they wouldn't even have the qualification to get the answer they hoped for.

So after some people had calmed down, the words they spoke began to become restrained.

You know, the one they were negotiating with at this moment was a witch!

And a madman.

No one knew how her mind worked.

From the beginning of the incident until now, no one even knew what she had done.

Now, their understanding of her was only... very strong.

Even the suicidal act just now was performed in front of them, and they still didn't understand what she had done.

They only knew that she had become stronger and had more means.

So the discerning people naturally knew that a forceful moral kidnapping would only make things counterproductive.

"Little Han... I know you are very... um, I really need this answer. For this, I can pay any price," at this moment, Tan Han also walked over.

She originally wanted to say that she knew the other party's difficulties, but then she changed her words.

"Any price?"

I looked at Tan Han, who had finally stepped forward at this time, and felt that she was exaggerating a bit.

"Would you be willing to give me all your spellbooks?"

"I would," Tan Han said decisively.

"Just kidding," after feeling the other party's decisive answer, I no longer looked at Tan Han, but

my gaze swept over those people.

"Do as you please. When the time comes to die, you all die together. Don't blame me for not stopping you."
