Chapter 1077: Dead City and Desert

She's here!

At the moment the Gray Mist Giant hugged the six-layer nightmare and tried to squeeze in, even though there was no obvious omen, everyone in the nightmare world perceived the existence of the Nightmare King almost at the same time.

If one had to describe this strange feeling that suddenly appeared in the heart, it was like a rabbit eating grass discovering the shadow of a hawk cast on the ground, or like seeing a huge shadow constantly approaching underwater while drifting in the sea on a small boat.

Even if no tangible crisis had appeared yet, just a little bit of wind and grass was enough to make one's heart sink abruptly.

If the Nightmare King arrives first, I'm afraid it's already too late to save anyone...

Feeling the fine rain around her that suddenly became active, as if welcoming something, Director Scorpio, standing on a city tower full of smoke and dust, sank his face slightly and directly raised his hand to break the neck of the pale doll beside him.

"Snap!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound of bone breaking, among the crowd blocking the gate and wanting to escape below the city tower, a thin woman let out a scream, and her thin, scarred neck tilted to one side at the same time as the pale doll's neck.

But strangely, even though her neck was suddenly broken, the thin woman still didn't die, but shrugged her shoulders to hold her head and ran towards another group of sick-looking people.

It's just a pity that before she could run two steps, a dripping fine sword pierced through her chest, directly pinning her to the ground and nailing her to death.

And with her death, the city tower under Director Scorpio's feet began to twist slightly in a strange way.

Immediately after, the crowd scattering in panic; the black-robed doctor wearing a strange bird-beak mask and shouting loudly; the soldiers standing behind the wooden obstacles and stabbing the card-rushers with long poles;

The dirty streets filled with black corpses piled up; and the cremation ground outside the city where white smoke rolled and never stopped, burning an unknown number of corpses of those who died of illness...

This city, which was being dragged into death by an epidemic, all twisted unconsciously with the death of the thin woman, like a shadow reflected on the lake surface with a stone thrown into the lake.

The next layer of nightmare should be the desert of the sand dune giant worm, right?

After killing the epidemic girl responsible for "guarding" this layer of nightmare and temporarily breaking the nightmare named "Dead Epidemic City", Director Scorpio, who looked tired, narrowed his eyes, looked at the dim yellow and scorching lower dream world below the dead city, sighed regretfully, and then stepped into the boundless desert with his last hope.

After knowing that Hearing Li Ang had actively jumped into the dream world, he had tried his best to break through downwards for the first time, passing through three layers of nightmares, trying to meet up with him as soon as possible, but he was ultimately a step late.

Compared to himself who needs to kill the corresponding world's nightmare to escape the nightmare, as the master of the nightmare, the Nightmare King can walk freely in all nightmares as she pleases.

Then, the moment she touched the six-layer nightmare, it was equivalent to finding Hearing Li Ang's location, and she could directly pass through without any obstruction, arriving in the nightmare where he was in an instant.

And facing the Nightmare King who was doubly strengthened by the Dream World and the Fallen Soul Black Abyss, and was fighting on her home ground in the nightmare, even he, who had no Star Palace blessing, was afraid that he would face a bitter battle.

With Hearing Li Ang's Level 3 Containment Officer level, even if he had more hole cards, he would probably break at a touch. It would be easier for the Nightmare King to pinch him to death than to press a bug to death.

What a pity for a good seedling... Alas... This can also be considered the fate of a Containment Officer.

After recalling everything Hearing Li Ang had done, Director Scorpio couldn't help but sigh again.

The more paranoid and risk-taking Containment Officers are, the greater the potential they often contain, and the faster they become stronger. There was even a record of someone being promoted all the way to a branch director within five years.

It's a pity that the more outstanding such talents are, the easier it is for them to die early in some mission where they are incompatible with their own anomalous objects due to overly intense emotions. Very few can survive in the end.

And like Hearing Li Ang, a good seedling who can ensure rationality and calmness while having intense emotions, as long as he works steadily and slowly for ten or twenty years, his future prospects will definitely be limitless.

As a result, that stinky woman Olivia didn't fulfill the responsibilities of a Director at all, actually letting a Level 3 Containment Officer like him get involved in this kind of True God-level mission, it's really... Shaking his head with an unkind expression, Director Scorpio, who was extremely regretful, waved the fine sword in his hand, cut open the outer wall of the dim yellow dream world below, and actively entered the boundless desert belonging to the sand dune giant worm.

"Boom!"

After Director Scorpio left the humid, cold, and rainy Dead Epidemic City and entered the desert with the scorching sun hanging high, the heat wave that could steam people rolled over, and in the blink of an eye, the water vapor remaining on him was dried up.

And when Director Scorpio adapted to the temperature change and actively looked around through the heat wave that distorted the horizon, a somewhat familiar figure in the distance instantly entered his eyes.

That is... Hearing Li Ang?!

Looking at Hearing Li Ang, who appeared on a sand dune more than ten miles away and was fleeing desperately carrying the Snow Woman, and the Gray Mist Giant appearing behind him, Director Scorpio's eyes couldn't help but widen.

Damn it! Why is it in the most vast boundless desert? It's too far away!

Discovering the traces of Hearing Li Ang and the Nightmare King, Director Scorpio didn't know what anomalous object he activated. His thin and tall figure lay back, and the shadow under him stretched infinitely in a strange way, spreading out a distance of a thousand meters in an instant, until it was cut off by a huge sand pit, and then it stopped.

Immediately after, Director Scorpio's infinitely stretched shadow retracted violently. When he stood up again, he had instantly crossed a thousand meters and stood directly in front of the huge sand pit.

Must catch up! Maybe it's still in time!

Without caring about patting the sand off his body, Director Scorpio, who had just stood up, wanted to activate the anomalous object again and continue to move towards Hearing Li Ang's direction, but he suddenly found that both the Gray Mist Giant and Hearing Li Ang had disappeared, and there was nothing at all on the sand dune more than ten miles away.

It turned out to be a sand dune mirage...

Looking at the empty sand dune in the distance, Director Scorpio's face sank completely.

This kind of thing, similar to a mirage, is the "feature" of this nightmare of the boundless desert, just like the disease area of the Dead Epidemic City and the deep mountains of the Wind and Snow Mountains.

The specific origin is the phantom light refracted by the scales falling off the sand dune giant worm through the dream world, which can make people see the situation of what they most hope to see at the moment, so as to induce them to move towards the target.

However, once tempted by the sand dune mirage, one will constantly lose water while moving, and finally die in the boundless sea of sand, becoming a dry corpse buried by yellow sand. Although the scene seen is not fake, it is impossible to truly reach it.

"Hoo..."

After sighing in disappointment, Director Scorpio turned towards the way he came and reactivated the anomalous object used for traveling.

Mirage is mirage...

Looking at the environment around Hearing Li Ang in the mirage, he should also be in the boundless desert, but this desert, whose name carries "boundless", has an area that is the most vast among the six nightmares, larger than the other five nightmares combined. He has no time to rush over.

Since he can't save him anymore, he might as well use the sand dune mirage to take a good look at his end, which can be considered his tribute to a brave colleague as a Containment Officer.

Holding such thoughts, Director Scorpio stretched his shadow, returned to the position when he entered the boundless desert, and looked at the position where the sand dune mirage appeared with a solemn expression, however...

"Ah?"

Looking at Hearing Li Ang in the mirage, who punched the toe of the Nightmare King, and then twisted his face with the Gray Mist Giant, and screamed in unison, Director Scorpio's eyes widened to the maximum, almost being popped out of his eye sockets by him.

"Ah???????"
