This actor is full of tricks.

Patient No. 8 was still having a seizure. Lin Jue pretended to be affected, his body swaying precariously, but his chaotic consciousness was gradually returning to clarity. He was gathering his strength, preparing to launch a fatal blow.

He had to kill Patient No. 8 before he could react, because that severed finger was definitely more than just mental pollution; it must have other abilities, but these abilities would likely require Patient No. 8's life to activate.

So this will take time, and if we can interrupt this process, we might be able to end it all.

But he wasn't sure either. He had never seen such extreme evil before. If this process couldn't be interrupted once it started, then everything would be in vain.

He had no choice but to take a gamble.

The crimson color grew thicker and thicker, completely taking over the world. Everything was shaking, as if a massive earthquake had struck.

The terrifying aura grew stronger, and something within the severed finger was slowly awakening.

Faster!
Lin Jue frantically stirred up his killing intent. If he really waited until that half finger was activated, everything might be irreversible.

On the other side, Blood Shadow frantically tore at his own body, ripping it to pieces and then rebuilding it. He was completely affected by those dark emotions, lost his reason, and turned into a monster who only knew how to kill.

Patient No. 8 had been drained dry, but his expression was becoming increasingly insane. He held the severed finger in his hands as if it were some supreme treasure.

"Let's die together!"

After roaring those words, his body exploded, but surprisingly, the severed finger did not fall to the ground even without Patient No. 8's support; instead, it remained suspended in mid-air.

The blood-red sky seemed to fall at that moment, and a blood-red rain began to fall from the mist. It seemed that countless lonely ghosts were wailing and howling in the air, and the whole world turned into a blood-red hell.

Blood Shadow's body exploded and turned into a torrent of blood that flowed into the severed finger. It seemed that the blood volume of Patient No. 8 was not enough to activate all the power of the finger, and it was absorbing Blood Shadow's power.

As the blood shadow was absorbed, a blurry red figure was outlined beside the finger. The figure's appearance was unclear, but one could still feel the terrifying aura it exuded. Just one glance was enough to make one's soul feel as if it were being pulled away.

The figure was enveloped in a black aura as vast as the ocean. Lin Jue's pupils were instantly stung, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, shedding two lines of bloody tears.

This black aura surpassed all the strange phenomena he had ever seen before; even his True Eyes could not withstand it.

Is it still too late?

Lin Jue sighed inwardly. Only now had the killing intent driven those dark emotions out of his mind, and the severed finger had been fully activated.

This time he miscalculated. He had considered all factors, but he hadn't expected that Patient No. 8 would have a severed finger with extreme malevolence on him. This reminded him that if he encountered a patient from that mental hospital again, he would have to assume that the patient did have extreme malevolence, regardless of whether the patient possessed it or not.

Mistakes are normal, but we must learn from them.

Now that the severed finger has been activated, there is no choice but to go all out. Sitting idly by and waiting for death is not in Lin Jue's nature, even if the opponent is a finger from an extremely evil and ferocious source.

Flames erupted from his entire body once more, with a golden sun rising behind him. However, before he could even move, he staggered, and the flames extinguished instantly.

Because the killing intent in his mind had not subsided as before, after absorbing a large amount of dark emotions, the power of the killing intent was surging and was gradually eroding his remaining sanity.

The murderous intent was overwhelming, and Lin Jue was on the verge of losing his last shred of reason.

Let down your guard, I can help you.

Just as he was stubbornly resisting the murderous intent, a whisper echoed in his mind.

The killing intent spoke!

Lin Jue was slightly taken aback, but still calmly replied, "Who are you? Why should I believe you?"

“I am the former you, a negative legacy left behind by Number 1. He made me stay in this body to protect you.”

The information conveyed in those words was too much for Lin Jue to ponder. The situation left him no choice but to gamble; he had to take the risk. He abandoned all defenses, and in the split second before his reason crumbled, a ring of flames spread outwards from his body, engulfing the entire Eternal Night Tower like a fiery halo.

This is his new supernatural power, the Domain of Daylight. Within the Domain of Daylight, the strength of his chosen teammates will be enhanced. He has chosen all the residents of the Eternal Night Tower, as well as the old man, the mirror, and the female ghost, as his teammates.

Although he chose to believe the murderous intent, he still kept a backup plan. If his "teammates" could come to his side, they might be able to bring him back to his senses.

The next second, his killing intent completely spiraled out of control, overwhelming his reason.

In mid-air, the blood-red silhouette became clearer and clearer. The blood-red storm dispersed all the mist, and the figure, drenched in blood, blazed with intense resentment: "Dr. Qin! You can't kill me!"

"Hmm?" He seemed to realize something, his gaze sweeping around: "Where is this?"

"The scent of living people that I loathe." His gaze finally settled on Lin Jue: "I need a lot of blood. Even if I only have half a finger left, I can be resurrected with the help of blood."

"There are many smells here that I hate, and there is a lot of blood in that building. Even if it can't bring me back to life, it can turn this half finger into a complete arm."

"Devour, devour!"

The figure muttered incantations, extended its half-finger, and gently pointed it at the Eternal Night Tower.

The blood-red rain froze for a moment, then gathered wildly, forming a bloody finger thirty meters long, which pressed down on the Eternal Night Tower from the sky.

……

"Hey girl, that's a wrap!"

The shopkeeper clapped his hands, and a group of strange residents lay beside him, their faces bruised and swollen, constantly groaning.

The female ghost in the mirror stood to the side: "I don't know why the boss won't let me kill these guys. It's not like him."

In the mirror-like female ghost's memory, Lin Jue was the kind of person who would kill anyone who dared to lay a hand on him without hesitation, but now he had actually given this group of ghosts a way out.

"Who knows? This guy's been acting strange ever since he entered the Black Street. I feel like he's hiding a lot of things on his mind." The old man shrugged.

"Why don't you take a look at me..." The chef lay on the ground, struggling to extend one hand. Most of the pots and pans on his body were broken, and his face was swollen like a pig's head.

"Well done." The shopkeeper praised the chef in Lin Jue's tone, and as soon as he finished speaking, a ball of flame rose up around him.

"Your second uncle cried at his grave on the first day of the Lunar New Year? What the hell is this?!"

This sudden change startled the old man, who jumped up and down, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.

Not only him, but the mirror ghost, the chef ghost, and even all the residents were engulfed in flames. A group of ghosts screamed in terror, thinking they had fallen into hell and were being tortured by karmic fire.

But the flames weren't as scorching as they'd imagined; instead, they inexplicably felt incredibly powerful.

"I feel like I've gotten a bit stronger." The mirror-like female ghost was the calmest. She looked at the flames on her body, which seemed to be a source of power. She felt that her strength had entered a new level.

After she said that, the old man also felt that his strength had increased a lot. The black runes on his body were now covered with faint flames, producing a strange change.

Before the group of strange beings could figure out what was going on, the chef, who had struggled to his feet, suddenly pointed out the hallway outside with a look of terror on his face.

All the eerie gazes turned to look outside, and then all the eerie expressions instantly cracked.

A giant finger formed from blood rain was seen falling rapidly toward them.
