Chapter 43: Enlightenment? Wishes come true! [Subscribe!]

Xu Ran thought he had misheard: "Headmaster, my name is Xu Ran, not Xu Yuan..."

And the aptitude for enlightenment is definitely not the aptitude for making wishes!"

The headmaster smiled and patted Xu Ran on the shoulder: "I'm not making a wish on you. I'm trusting you."

"You once cleared the children of the fear brought by the Nightmare Mother. You even figured out that the Nightmare Mother was hiding in a pregnant woman!"

"After all, children's thinking is unconstrained. Coupled with your monstrous comprehension, I believe you can create miracles again!"

The headmaster looked at Xu Ran with partiality: "In short, just make a bold guess! It doesn't matter if you're wrong. It won't affect you at all.

Anyway, let's all work together and pool our wisdom. Maybe we can find a solution to the problem through a combination of your and my suggestions!"

Mentor Lin Chang nodded in agreement: "Yes, two heads are better than one. One person racking his brains will never be as good as everyone thinking together. And children's thinking is really more flexible than adults', more bold, and more daring."

Listening to the words of the headmaster and the instructor, everyone looked at Xu Ran.

Was it Xu Ran who came up with the idea that the nightmare mother was hiding inside a pregnant woman?

The gazes immediately changed, as if filled with earnest hope.

Mom rubbed Xu Ran's head and said, "Baby, think hard. If you come up with a solution, you'll have saved the lives of over 300,000 children in the city, right? You can be a hero again!"

Hu Niu: "Brother Xiao Ran, you can do it! Be a hero!"

Zhu Yuheng: "Come on...come on!"

Xu Ran: “…”

Be a hero again? When was the last time I was a hero? Oh... it was when I helped the kindergarten children get rid of the fear brought by their nightmare mother...

Xu Ran remembered that he was indeed ridiculously handsome that time.

Want to try again?
Xu Ran stared intently. He had lived here for nearly two years and had already developed feelings for every child he met.

Especially the little ones, who can’t even speak clearly, but they chase after him every day, babbling and calling him Brother Xiaoran.

What a cute little kid, now being manipulated like a puppet, only a hair's breadth away from death...

The key point is... the monster in the sky is still making sharp taunts from time to time.

"Do you really think you are a god?"

Xu Ran took a deep breath and couldn't help but think of his former wish - I want to crush everything!
"How can we not fulfill the boasts we have made?"

Thinking of this, Xu Ran immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.

At this moment, all the details such as Guhuo's accomplice, children, sacrifice, nightmare threads, underground... emerged in his mind, trying to find a way out.

Mom: "Come on, Xiaoran, come on, Xiaoran, you are the best!"

The headmaster looked at Xu Ran, whose features were full of thought. "His comprehension and aptitude might surprise us..."

"Let's not disturb Xiao Ran. Stand far away and let him think quietly."

As they spoke, a group of people stood fifty meters away.

Of course they didn't just sit there and wait and see. Everyone frowned and put forward their own ideas.

The headmaster said, "Let me review the current situation... The problem is that the Nightmare Mother, using the Nightmare Thread, has kidnapped 300,000 children. These children have become her shield against attacks from powerful enemies. Even if these powerful enemies can harm her, they must prioritize the safety of the children."

"In other words, we can't just fight our way out of this. We have to find a way to rescue 300,000 children first..."

Mentor Lin Chang: "If there were no children as hostages, even two more Nightmare Mothers wouldn't be enough. Its cleverness lies in the fact that it has held 300,000 hostages. When our strong men take action, they are full of concerns..."

"An attack that can bypass the hostages is basically non-existent... This seems a bit unsolvable..."

"How about we transport three hundred thousand children out of Jing City? Away from the Nightmare Mother's true form?"

Aunt Lu: "The cleanup team has already tried, and the Nightmare Mother killed those children on the spot. She also warned all practitioners not to try to transport the children."

"Damn it! How much better would it be without those purple and green threads?"

The headmaster said, "By the way, is there a spell that can force children to be hyperactive and unable to sleep? The Nightmare Mother controls children by invading their dreams, so we can keep them awake!"

Ye Ping sighed: "A cheering spell? The cheering spell doesn't work."

"Someone from the cleanup team just used it, and the child can't wake up!"

Director: "..."

Li Qinghong: "I've got an idea! Create an illusion for the Nightmare Mother... Let her fall into it, and then we can transport 300,000 children away."

A group of people's eyes lit up.

Principal: “That’s a good proposal!”

Ye Ping blushed, "...You're trying to embarrass us. In the entire Chinese nation, there aren't any illusion practitioners above the Yue Realm. Below the Yue Realm, it definitely won't work. The Nightmare Mother's specialty is the mental system. Will it be fooled?"

"Of course, I'll let the illusionists try. If they can transport the children from the demigod kindergarten... that would be perfect!"

Uncle Ye immediately made a phone call.

Li Qinghong, tutor Lin Chang, the head teacher, and tutor Song Yu immediately made adequate preparations, intending to transport the geniuses of the Demigod Kindergarten as quickly as possible.

But it was almost within a few minutes.

The news of failure came from the other end of the phone.

"Inspector, six illusion practitioners have fainted. This plan is completely unworkable..."

Ye Ping looked up at everyone helplessly: "...We can only think of other ways..."

"Keep thinking. I feel if we pool our wisdom, we can break the impasse!"

So everyone discussed dozens of plans at the same time.

But without exception they all failed.

Amidst the discussions, an hour passed in a flash.

Xu Ran suddenly opened his eyes.

The headmaster was quick to notice Xu Ran's movements and quickly came over: "Have you thought of anything?"

Xu Ran shook his head, feeling a little tired. "There are still four hours left, right? Let me think about it."

At the same time, inside the city, Zhao Ying, Gao Yuan, and Huang Liang flew over the city, while pounding strange stones into the ground.

"The Nightmare Mother should be under this ground."

"Isolate it and see if you can stop the nightmare thread."

"I am ready."

"I've already arranged it."

"Isolation array!"

A huge semicircular light shield rose up instantly, covering an area of ​​3,000 meters in radius. Inside and outside the light shield, there was some strange energy that tried to cut off the connection between the Nightmare Mother and the outside world.

However, those purple-green nightmare threads easily passed through the circular light shield.

"What? Can't be isolated? The quality of its spiritual power is definitely at the god level."

Huang Liang, Zhao Ying, and Gao Yuan all had solemn expressions, their hearts sinking to the bottom.

High in the sky, a gigantic purple-blue female face, still with a strange smile, and tens of thousands of zombie babies, with bloodshot eyes and red tongues, burst into sharp, maniacal laughter.

"You guessed right. I am the God of Nightmares. How can a small magic circle block the power of a god?"

"Hahahaha!"

Hear the words.

The expressions of Zhao Ying, Gao Yuan, and Huang Liang became even more solemn.

Gao Yuan: "The God of Nightmares? It's indeed a god-level ghost creature. How did this thing come to China? Damn it!"

Huang Liang: "The good news is that it's not too strong. It's not as suffocating as other gods."

Zhao Ying: "Think of another way! A god that hides its head and shows its tail is definitely not invincible. It must have a flaw." "Come on, everyone! Don't be intimidated by it. We will definitely find the flaw!"

The Nightmare Mother let out a sneer that echoed throughout the city from the sky: "Hehe, fight to the bitter end! Fight to the bitter end! What an interesting show!"

Zhao Ying gritted her teeth and said, "A large number of Guhuo's minions are being born. All members of the Elimination Team and the Investigation Team, eliminate the Guhuo's minions immediately."

Huang Liang: "Hmm? Everyone... I found that the Nightmare Mother doesn't seem to have the ability to kill all the children in an instant. I'm going to go underground again."

……

"Hee hee hee……"

"Go ahead and try. Guess which kids I'll kill next time? The genius from the demigod kindergarten, or the genius from the demigod kindergarten?"

The Nightmare Mother laughed strangely: "I am absolutely sure that when you enter the underground, I will kill ten geniuses instantly. In addition, every time you come closer to me, I will kill one more genius."

Huang Liang stopped at the underground entrance and said, "Forget it, it's not time to gamble yet. Let's wait and see other options..."

"Until the very last moment... I should have pretended to be timid and thus paralyzed it..."

Seeing that Huang Liang was threatened and dared not go underground, strange laughter echoed over the city.

"Hehe! Struggle! Despair! You still have four hours!"

"In four hours, I will become a god and transform into an eternal paradise for my children. All my children will return to my body. Come back... my children! Come back... my children!"

Demonic sounds resounded throughout the city.

More and more children have purple and green silk strings connected to the back of their heads, becoming puppets. They float in the air, drifting towards the location of the nightmare mother, and their parents are completely unable to hold them back.

Fortunately, Uncle Ye's flute music spread throughout the city, leaving the children frozen in mid-air.

However, the situation was not optimistic. One after another, the minions emerged from the corners of the city, rushed towards the children, and wanted to carry them underground.

Fortunately, the clearing team and the investigation team came out in full force to suppress the Guhuo clan on the streets, and the practitioners in society also spontaneously organized themselves to resist.

now.

In the dark night, the whole city was lit up with flames of battle.

Amidst the noise and chaos, the celestial music of the jade flute never ceased, and strands of notes fell like petals throughout the city.

A murderous look flashed in Huang Liang's eyes: "Brother Ye is still holding on, let's think of another way. If it really doesn't work, we can only kill him at the last moment!"

Kill by force?

Zhao Ying and Gao Yuan looked solemn.

The price to pay would be too tragic. The first ones to die might be the dozens of super geniuses in the Demigod Kindergarten.

Director Cheng Qi had said that these two groups of super geniuses were the strongest in the past twenty years, even comparable to the geniuses in the capital. If they were all killed in this battle, would the old director be unable to withstand the blow and die of vomiting blood?

"Brother Huang Liang... I know you're anxious, but don't worry. There must be a better way."

Huang Liang's tone was as calm as a volcano before eruption. "I also wish there were a better way... I hope to save three hundred thousand children and completely slay the Nightmare Mother. Don't worry, I won't go berserk until the very last moment."

Time passes minute by minute.

An hour passed in a flash, and Xu Ran opened his eyes.

Everyone's eyes turned over.

It seems as if they are all looking forward to the root of understanding.

Mom: "Baby, how's it going?"

Xu Ran said nothing. To be honest, he couldn't think of any good way to bypass the hostages and kill the Nightmare Mother.

too difficult!
If ten years later, he is invincible, he will definitely be able to do it.

But now, he is only six years old.

Xu Ran sighed and looked up at the sky in the distance.

Directly above the urban area of ​​Jing City, a massive monster loomed like a black cloud! Tens of thousands of zombie babies with bloodshot eyes and red tongues floated up and down, their umbilical cords twisting and tangling like venomous snakes... Dense clumps of purple-green silk threads dangled, controlling three hundred thousand marionettes!
The terrifying and strange figure seemed to be about to crush a city.

The people of Jing City and the practitioners of Jing City could see such a terrifying monster when they looked up. A sense of powerlessness grew in people's hearts. In front of it, humans seemed to be its captive food.

"Hehe... One hundred and eighty minutes to go! Fear! Tremble! Despair! My children, welcome the coming of the God of Nightmares!"

"Countdown, one hundred and seventy-nine minutes."

"Hehe, my children, come back to my body quickly..."

The strange laughter once again resounded throughout the city.

……

Hearing the strange laughter, Xu Ran frowned: "...babies, children...it seems to have a special preference for babies and children."

Xu Ran seemed to have grasped something, and a bright light shone in his eyes.

"Director, your wish really came true."

"I think I've found a way to bypass the hostages and kill the Nightmare Mother!!"

Xu Ran's serious demeanor surprised everyone.

Director: “Ah?”

Li Qinghong: "Ah?"

Aunt Lu: “Ah?”

Mom: “Huh?”

Mentor Lin Chang: “Ah?”

They were in disbelief and skeptical: "Xiao Ran...you...you really came up with a plan?"

Xu Ran: "I'm 70% sure, but I need to buy myself four hours. Uncle Ye, can you hold on for four hours?"

Uncle Ye took a deep breath. "It's a bit difficult for me to hold on for four hours alone, but I can ask Zhao Ying to come and support me. If he comes to support me, I can hold on for four hours."

Xu Ran: "Then let Uncle Zhao help you. I need four hours."

Ye Ping: "Do you really have a solution? One that can kill the Nightmare Mother without harming over 300,000 children?"

Xu Ran nodded: "I'm 70% sure."

Everyone stood in awe and retreated strategically.

No way? Is the aptitude for enlightenment really equal to the aptitude for wishing?

Mom: "Baby, does your method really work? Tell us about it and let us hear it."

Xu Ran nodded: "Mom, things should be done in secret. If we tell them out loud, it won't work. Let's talk about it after I succeed."

"Of course I can't guarantee it. I'm only 70% sure. If I don't succeed after four hours, then I'll have no choice but to kill the Nightmare Mother at all costs."

The headmaster pressed Xu Ran's shoulder and said, "No, you plan to carry out the plan alone?"

Xu Ran: "Yes, I want to implement the plan by myself."

The headmaster was filled with worry. "How can this be possible? That Nightmare Mother must have reached the Yue Realm of Energy. If you, a child with only 3800 HP, run over there, you're just committing suicide. I don't agree with your plan."

My mother's voice trembled: "Baby, don't scare me, you are only six and a half years old! No matter what plan or program you have, it is impossible for a six-year-old child to successfully implement it!

Tell the director, Sister Qinghong, and Uncle Ye about your plan. They will carry it out. You can't go."

The headmaster nodded. "That's right. Even if we have to take risks, we have to take them. You must stay in the kindergarten!"

Xu Ran spread his hands: "I'm sorry, my plan can only be implemented by me. No one else can replace me."

Li Qinghong: "How about I stay by your side and protect you?"

Xu Ran shook his head. "If a Yue Realm cultivator follows me, he'll be noticed immediately by the Nightmare Mother, okay? To increase the success rate of my plan, I must act alone and covertly!"
