Fear of food

Is the Nightmare Clan training an extremely powerful ability user?
Although this is just speculation and there is no evidence to prove it, the fact that both the think tank and coffee shop have made the same guess indicates that this possibility exists.

This speculation stems from the fact that the Nightmare Clan recently reopened the passage to the Nightmare Clan World.

According to Chen Qi's method, in addition to finding a suitable weakness to enter the Nightmare Clan's world, a person with great potential is also needed.

Prior to this, Chen Qi knew that only himself and Feng Bin met the criteria.

Chen Qi goes without saying, but Feng Bin's abilities are equally formidable.

Those with abilities this strong are extremely rare.

Among the ability users Chen Qi knew, even Momo was a step below Feng Bin and might not meet the requirements.

Now, the Nightmare Clan may have acquired such a powerful individual, and the subsequent disappearance of contaminated zones is probably not a coincidence.

If the Nightmare Clan is training the same person who opened the passage, then everything makes sense.

After all, it's already difficult to find even one person with this level of ability, let alone two at the same time.

"If Coffee and the others are right, then this ability user might be the strongest enemy I have ever encountered."

Chen Qi also felt a bit of pressure.

Whether it's Feng Bin or Momo, no matter how strong they are, they still rely on absorbing "high-grade food" to improve their abilities.

But this unknown ability user, like Chen Qi, relies on absorbing sources of pollution to enhance his abilities.

This suggests that his potential is likely on par with Chen Qi's!
Chen Qi began to sketch out a portrait of this unknown ability user in his mind...

To enter the Nightmare Clan's world by exploiting the weakness of lust, one needs to utilize the male-specific "sage mode," so he must be a man.

Regarding their ability level... the other party has already begun to absorb the source of pollution from the third-order pollution zone, indicating that they are at the same level as Chen Qi and have completed three qualitative leaps in their abilities.

After all, with the combined efforts of the three Nightmare Clan members, their abilities improved very quickly.

"I'm facing an opponent of equal strength, and this is only temporary!"

Chen Qi understood that the Nightmare Clan would definitely try every means to further enhance the strength of that unknown ability user.

After all, they had suffered too many losses at Chen Qi's hands and absolutely did not want to see any more accidents happen. This time, they would be extremely careful and try their best to crush Chen Qi!
The unknown ability user has already undergone three qualitative changes in his abilities, just like Chen Qi, but he is still hiding and has no intention of meeting Chen Qi.

This shows that the Nightmare Clan doesn't want a "fair match," they want "absolute certainty"!
"Perhaps the Nightmare Clan is already accumulating energy, preparing to attack the first fourth-tier contaminated zone."

"What if they feed the source of pollution from the fourth-tier contaminated zone to that unknown ability user..."

Chen Qi felt a sense of crisis. His opponent's potential was at the same level as his. If the opponent completed the fourth qualitative change of ability earlier than him, he would definitely not be a match for him.

He cannot afford to lose, because he is humanity's only hope!
"We can't always be so passive; we have to do something."

Chen Qi immediately contacted the authorities and expressed his concerns, stating that his individual strength and wisdom were limited and that the collective effort should be combined.

The authorities also took immediate action, contacting countries around the world to convene a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Countries around the world have begun to monitor their large contaminated areas 24/7 to ensure that any abnormalities are reported to Chen Qi immediately.

The unknown ability user absorbed a third-tier pollution source. Based on Chen Qi's own ability growth experience, the other party should have just completed the third qualitative change in ability.

The opponent's next move is crucial, as it will reveal the Nightmare Clan's next action plan.

If they continue to absorb third-order pollution sources, it means that the other party intends to achieve a fourth qualitative leap in their abilities.

Chen Qi hoped to see the other party step out of the shadows and into the light, so he could assess their strength.

However, his expectations were dashed. A few days later, another second-level contaminated zone suddenly upgraded to third level and then disappeared instantly.

Chen Qi received the news immediately and rushed to the location.

In the end, they came up empty-handed and found nothing.

The enemy's retreat was so swift, it was clear they had planned it in advance.

According to surveillance footage, several days before the contaminated area disappeared, Nightmare Clan parasites had already begun to withdraw.

However, due to the poor coverage of surveillance abroad and the difficulty in tracking the parasites, the local government did not take it seriously.

"They've already undergone three qualitative leaps in their abilities, yet they're still so cautious."

"He's avoiding my confrontation!"

Chen Qi knew this meant that his opponent was not confident of defeating him.

Furthermore, the fact that the other party continues to absorb third-order pollution sources indicates that they have the idea of ​​impacting the fourth qualitative change in their capabilities.

Having learned from this experience, governments around the world are now more cautious and vigilant, and have deployed more surveillance around major contaminated areas.

With nothing else to do, Chen Qi could only continue traveling between countries to eradicate contaminated areas, but he was also always ready to wait for news and meet that unknown ability user.

A few days later, several countries reported that parasites were leaving their contaminated areas.

This was clearly a smokescreen by the Nightmare Clan, making it difficult for Chen Qi to determine which was real and which was fake.
Chen Qi came up with a method: he recorded all the abnormally polluted areas, determined their locations, and knew which countries they were in.

He then entered the Nightmare Clan world to try to locate the corresponding locations of these countries within the Nightmare Clan world.

Every place in the human world can be found in the Nightmare Clan's world.

The Nightmare Clan world is essentially a miniature version of the human world. Through the Nightmare Clan world, Chen Qi can travel less and spend less time to reach various parts of the world.

After he enters the Nightmare Clan's world, a passage connecting to the human world will appear above his head, and this passage will move with him.

They emerge from different parts of the Nightmare Clan's world through passages and will appear in different areas of the human world.

Just like before, when Chen Qi entered the Nightmare Clan world from Spring Rain Street, he ended up in the Cherry Blossom Country.

The Nightmare Clan acted too quickly. Even though Chen Qi learned of the news immediately and set off right away, by the time he arrived at his destination by plane after crossing continents and oceans, the Nightmare Clan and the unknown ability user had already slipped away.

There's no way around it; the world is too big, and there's no "teleportation" skill in reality. Once you get on a plane, it can easily take several hours, and for long journeys, it can even take more than ten hours. By then, it's too late.

However, if the location of each contaminated zone in the Nightmare Clan world could be pinpointed, the travel time would be greatly shortened. Once the location of the contaminated zone was determined, it would be convenient and quick to travel directly from the Nightmare Clan world, and it could also catch the Nightmare Clan off guard.

However, this positioning is not so easy. First of all, there are no reference points in the Nightmare Clan world, so Chen Qi can only rely on his Nightmare Clan employees to guide him.

Even the previous generation of Nightmare Clan only knew the locations of a few weak points in the human world; they didn't know where the other areas corresponded.

Chen Qi wanted to locate these countries and cities, and the brute-force method was to try them one by one. He would randomly find a location in the Nightmare Clan world, mark it, and then go out through the passage to see which part of the human world it corresponded to.

However, this method is too inefficient and too cumbersome.

Because it's easy to leave the Nightmare Clan's world, but difficult to enter.

To enter the Nightmare Clan world from Lori Island, and then exit from elsewhere, one must return to Lori Island to re-enter the Nightmare Clan world.

The round trip takes an unknown amount of time.

Another method is calculation. We currently know the locations of Spring Rain Street and Lori Island in the Nightmare Clan world. Based on these locations, we can calculate the corresponding locations of other countries and regions within the Nightmare Clan.

This is a huge undertaking, requiring a lot of data to support it.

Such mentally taxing work should naturally be given to those with good brains.

Chen Qi directly handed the task over to the country's think tank.

This wasn't a difficult task for them, but they couldn't enter the Nightmare Clan's world to conduct on-site observation and surveying.

We can only rely on Chen Qi's cooperation to collect and measure the data.

Chen Qi wasn't a professional in this area, and even a slight deviation in distance and direction could lead to a result that was several countries off.

So Chen Qi led his Nightmare Clan employees to conduct repeated surveys in the Nightmare Clan world.

Each time he left the Nightmare Clan world, he would find different places and record their locations to provide the think tank with more reference data.

In just a few days, Chen Qi obtained a "Nightmare Clan World Map".

This map marks the locations of the world's major contaminated zones within the Nightmare Clan's world.

But a map is one thing, and actually determining the location is another. In short, it takes a lot of time to determine the accurate location.

Chen Qigang rushed back to Lori Island, but before he could even enter the Nightmare Clan's world and mark his location, he suddenly received news that a contaminated zone on the Russian side had been upgraded!
From the second-order contaminated zone, it will upgrade to the third-order zone, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the source of the contamination will be absorbed quickly, and then it will disappear.

Chen Qi immediately sprinted at top speed into the Nightmare Clan's world, then took the map and searched for the corresponding contaminated area.

Some people get lost even with GPS navigation, let alone Chen Qi who only has a map.

With the help of the Nightmare Clan employees, he determined the direction and then flew along it, estimating the distance as he went.

"This should be the place, right?"

Chen Qi was also a little unsure. He didn't have time to measure the area with a ruler, so he just estimated it based on the diameter of his safe house.

He took a deep breath, leaped into the air, and disappeared into the overhead passage.
-
"It's a bit cold."

Upon returning to the human world, Chen Qi felt the biting cold wind.

Fortunately, his physical condition is now exceptional, so it doesn't have a significant impact on him.

The climate here in Russia is cold, and most areas are uninhabited.

Chen Qi looked around and realized that he had gone astray to some extent.

If it's a contaminated area, it must be in a city, surrounded by people coming and going.

But there wasn't a single bird to be seen around here.

Chen Qi immediately took out his phone to locate the location and found that he was indeed off-center, but not by a huge margin.

"I'm flying there at full speed now, it'll only take me forty minutes."

Chen Qi immediately set off for the target contaminated area.

He uses the ability of the safe house to fly, and his speed is not much slower than that of a regular airplane, but he still gets tired after flying for a long time.

After more than half an hour of flight, Chen Qi could see the city in the distance, which was his destination.

However, it is no longer considered a polluted area because the pollution is receding at an extremely rapid pace!

"The pollution is receding, but it hasn't completely dissipated yet, which means that the source of the pollution has just been absorbed and not much time has passed!"

"The person probably hasn't gone far, or even left!"

Chen Qi accelerated at full speed, swooping down towards his destination.

Upon entering this former contaminated area, his safe house descended, instantly covering half the city.

Within his coverage area, not a single parasite could be found; they had long since evacuated.

However, soon after he crossed half the city and arrived at the other side, he discovered a parasite.

He is also the only parasite in the entire city!
The enemy is moving at high speed, flying towards the outskirts of the city.

"It seems it was him after all!"

Chen Qi's spirits lifted, and he immediately sped up his pursuit.

Once the distance was sufficient, he used the safe house to encircle the other party, creating an obstacle for him.

"He does have some skill."

Chen Qi's past opponents, once trapped in a safe house, almost none of them were able to escape.

But the person in front of them somehow managed to tear open a gap and escape.

The essence of a safe house is a dream. Dreams are the most unbreakable, yet also the most fragile, depending entirely on whether the person in the dream can decipher it.

The other party clearly has the ability to see through the essence of things.

Seeing that this tactic was not working, Chen Qi directly and forcibly absorbed the Nightmare Clan members from the opponent's body throughout the entire process.

As ability users, the biggest difference between the other party and Chen Qi is that the other party has the Nightmare Clan parasitizing in their body, while Chen Qi is currently a pure human.

His abilities were effective against the Nightmare Clan, so he directly attempted to attack the Nightmare Clan within the opponent's body.

This move was indeed effective, causing the person to slow down significantly. Chen Qi took the opportunity to catch up and finally saw what the other person looked like.

However, Chen Qi was stunned when he saw the person.

"female?"

What appeared before him was a blonde, blue-eyed Western woman.

She is over 1.7 meters tall, with fair skin, delicate features, and a hot figure.

Chen Qi felt a bit agitated just looking at it.

"This isn't right!"

Chen Qi didn't consider himself to be someone with such poor willpower, and not long ago he had even activated his Sage Mode in order to enter the Nightmare Clan world, so he wouldn't be so easily tempted.

He instantly realized that the other party was a parasite of love nightmares!
It can directly arouse his desire.

Chen Qi had always assumed the other person was a man, but it turned out to be a woman, which surprised him.

Could it be that the Nightmare Clan used someone else to open the passage?
The Nightmare Clan possesses more than one exceptionally powerful ability user? (End of Chapter)
