Chapter 809: 406 Dead City and Desert

It's here!

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

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

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

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

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

"Snap!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound of bone breaking, among the crowd wanting to escape at the gate under the city tower, a thin woman let out a scream. Her weak neck covered with sores and the neck of the pale doll tilted to one side at the same time.

But strangely, even if her neck suddenly broke, the thin woman still didn't die, but shrugged her shoulders to support her head and ran wildly toward another group of people with sick faces.

It's just a pity that before she could run two steps, a thin sword still dripping with blood pierced through her chest extremely cruelly, directly nailing her to the ground and killing her completely.

And with her death, the city tower under the Scorpio Director's feet began to twist slightly eerily.

Immediately afterward, the crowd retreating in panic; the black-robed doctor wearing a strange bird-beak mask and shouting loudly; the soldiers standing behind the wooden barriers and stabbing the gate-crashers with long poles;

The dirty streets where black corpses were piled up and covered with each other, and the burning ground outside the city where white smoke was rolling and never stopping, and where countless corpses of those who died of illness had been burned...

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

The next layer of nightmare should be the desert of the Sand Dune Giant Worm, right?

After killing the Plague Girl who was responsible for "guarding" this layer of nightmare and temporarily breaking the nightmare called "Deadly Plague City," the Scorpio Director, who looked tired, narrowed his eyes and looked at the dim yellow and scorching nightmare layer below. He couldn't help but sigh regretfully, then held the last hope and stepped into the boundless desert below.

After knowing that Hearing Li Ang actively jumped into the nightmare, he tried his best to break through downward, passing through three layers of nightmares in a row, trying to reunite with him as soon as possible, but he was still a step late in the end.

Compared to himself who needs to kill the corresponding nightmare to leave the nightmare, the Nightmare King, as the master of nightmares, can travel freely in all nightmares as he pleases.

Then, the moment it contacted the six-layer nightmare, it was equivalent to having already found Hearing Li Ang's location and could arrive in the nightmare he was in instantly without any obstruction.

And facing the Nightmare King who was doubly strengthened by the Dream Realm and the Fallen Soul Black Abyss and was fighting on its home turf in the nightmare, even he, without the blessing of the Star Palace, would probably face a bitter battle.

With Hearing Li Ang's level of a Level 3 Cleanup Officer, even if he had more trump 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.

It's really a pity for a good seedling... sigh... this can also be considered the fate of a Cleanup Officer.

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

The more paranoid Cleanup Officers who like to take risks, the greater the potential they contain, and the faster they become stronger. There are even records of being promoted all the way to the branch director in five years.

It's just a pity that the more outstanding talents like this, the easier it is for them to have irrational and reckless behaviors due to overly intense emotions, and they die early in some missions where their own anomalous objects are not compatible, and 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 fights steadily and slowly, his future will definitely be limitless in ten or twenty years.

It's just that Olivia, that stinky woman, didn't fulfill her responsibility as a director at all, actually letting a Level 3 Cleanup Officer get involved in this kind of True God-level mission, it's really...

Shaking his head with unkind expression, the Scorpio Director waved the thin sword in his hand, cut open the outer wall of the nightmare below, and actively entered the boundless desert belonging to the Sand Dune Giant Worm.

"Thump!"

After the Scorpio Director left the humid, cold, and rainy Deadly Plague City and entered the desert where the scorching sun was high, the heat wave that could steam people rolled in, and in the blink of an eye, the water vapor remaining on him was baked clean.

And after the Scorpio Director adapted to the change in temperature, looking around actively across the heat wave that distorted the horizon, a somewhat familiar figure instantly reflected into 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 with the Snow Woman on his back, and the Gray Mist Giant who was manifesting behind him, the Scorpio Director's eyes couldn't help but widen.

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

After discovering the traces of Hearing Li Ang and the Nightmare King, the Scorpio Director didn't know what anomalous object he had activated. His thin and tall figure lay backward, and the shadow under him stretched infinitely strangely, spreading out a distance of thousands of meters in an instant, until it was intercepted by a huge sand pit that was concave, and then it stopped.

Immediately afterward, the shadow of the Scorpio Director, which had been stretched infinitely, retracted violently. When he, who was lying backward, stood up again, the whole person had already crossed a thousand meters in an instant and stood directly in front of the huge sand pit.

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

Ignoring to pat the sand on his body, the Scorpio Director, who got up, just wanted to activate the anomalous object again and continue to move toward Hearing Li Ang's direction, but suddenly discovered that whether it was the Gray Mist Giant or Hearing Li Ang, they had all disappeared, and there was nothing at all on the sand dune more than ten miles away.

So it was a sand dune mirage...

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

This kind of thing similar to a mirage, just like the sick area of the Deadly Plague City and the deep mountains of the Snowy Mountain Range, is the "feature" of this nightmare of the boundless desert.

The specific origin is the scales shed by the Sand Dune Giant Worm, which are refracted through the dreamscape, allowing people to see what they most hope to see, so as to induce them to move toward the target.

However, once tempted by the sand dune mirage, they 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 can never be truly reached.

"Hoo..."

After spitting out a breath of disappointment, the Scorpio Director turned toward the way he came and reactivated the anomalous object used for rushing.

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 the largest area 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 take a good look at his end with the help of the sand dune mirage, which can be considered his tribute to a brave colleague as a Cleanup Officer.

Holding such thoughts, the Scorpio Director stretched his shadow and returned to the position where he entered the boundless desert, looking 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 they screamed together, the Scorpio Director's eyes widened to the maximum, nearly being stared out of his eye sockets by him.

"Ah???????" ===== CHAPTER 810 =====
