We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Chapter 158 Methods to Eradicate Freddy (4.8k)

Sato's death caused Yumi and the others to change their expressions slightly.

"We're being attacked by ghosts, be careful."

The reason we were able to determine that it was an attack by a vengeful ghost, rather than by another team of challengers, is due to the rules of the Main God Space.

If a challenger initiates an attack on another challenger, a large number of points will be deducted.

At this point, the penalty notice for the offending challenger will also appear on the other challengers' panels.

Sato's body, lying on the ground, was broken in two and had already turned cold.

But as Yumi spoke in a low voice, uttering a word that was difficult to understand, his body twitched and reassembled itself.

Soon, Sato came back to life.

The body, broken in two, was pulled closer by some unseen and intangible supernatural force and pieced back together.

The team of challengers clearly had excellent teamwork. Sato, upon regaining consciousness, did not shout or yell, but calmly reported the information he had received.

"Miss Yumi, I've been attacked by a demon. Although our mission this time was to assist him in killing someone, the demon refuses to communicate with us..."

"Moreover, his ability is quite bizarre. He can pull people into a dream when their mental will is not strong enough. In the dream, I can feel that I cannot use my ability and can only become a lamb to the slaughter."

Upon hearing this, the group frowned simultaneously.

Not only is communication impossible, but their strength is also incredibly powerful and bizarre.

As challengers, besides having stronger basic attributes than ordinary people, they have to rely on supernatural items and high-level abilities for the rest.

Once pulled into a dream, one cannot use high-level abilities. In this state, even a top-tier fifth-level challenger is extremely vulnerable to death.

After a moment of contemplation, Yumi said, "No matter what, I can't be pulled into the dream, otherwise all of us will perish in the instance."

Few people know that Yumi's advanced ability is an extremely rare auxiliary ability.

The title is "Please Do Not Die".

Even if her teammates are killed by Freddy like Sato just now, as long as Yumi's [Please Don't Die] ability is still usable, she can pull them back from the brink of death.

The only drawback of 【Please Don't Die】 is that it cannot be used on oneself.

Therefore, no matter who is pulled into the dream, Yumi must remain awake.

The instance lasts for three days.

Yumi's main attributes are speed and strength, which, combined with the long sword at her waist, gives her a certain degree of self-defense ability.

Therefore, Yumi's mental strength attribute is not outstanding among fifth-tier challengers.

I haven't slept for three days straight, and I can't afford to be even slightly distracted...

It has to be said, this is very difficult.

Yumi only thought for a very short moment before drawing the long sword from her waist.

With a clang, the long sword was drawn.

She swung the knife down, leaving a scar on her other slender, fair arm.

Pain stimulates the nerves, instantly waking the brain.

"My father told me from a young age that to achieve my goals, I had to be ruthless, both to others and to myself..."

“I will stimulate myself with pain every hour for the past three days. If I forget, you can do it for me.”

Yamamoto was taken aback upon seeing this, and his expression turned serious.

This is crucial for the captain's advancement, entry into the higher-dimensional God Space, and finding a way out.

It seems that Ms. Yumi is really serious.

···········
Another location in Harumi City.

The moment Lu Ming entered the instance, he raised the Ghost Bride's right hand and slowly and stiffly waved it in mid-air.

The fluffy paper ash fell in a flurry, like a heavy snowfall, piling up on the ground and forming a strange road.

Everything in sight immediately lost its original color and turned into a gray haze.

The ghostly paintings and ghostly domain spread out, instantly enveloping the entire Chunmu City.

Chen Xin and the other three were stunned by what they saw.

They never expected that Lu Ming and this ghost in wedding attire, when combined, would possess such power.

The so-called world in the painting actually created a gray, colorless world.

In their eyes, Lu Ming was like a creator.

Jiang Zi sighed, "No wonder Captain Lu is so adept at everything he does; it feels like he and we are from completely different worlds..."

Chen Xin, standing to the side, felt somewhat relieved.

She had accumulated so many points, but in the end, she redeemed a high-level support ability that few people would redeem.

The purpose was to provide help to Lu Ming, so that she wouldn't be too useless.

Otherwise, once Lu Ming enters the higher-dimensional God Space and has better options, she might not even have the chance to team up with him anymore.

······
"Once I pulled them into the ghost realm, the situation was under my control. Even Freddy couldn't hurt them."

Just as Lu Ming had this thought, a mocking, hoarse, and dry voice suddenly rang out from underground.

A long crack appeared in the asphalt, and with a loud thud, the crack widened, and Freddy, wearing a bowler hat and a red and green striped sweater, popped out from underground.

He laughed loudly: "Oh my God, let me see what you're doing!"

"Interesting, he's actually a Superman kid..."

Freddy, armed with steel claws, roams freely through the gray, ghostly world of paintings.

He randomly grabbed a child from a house and slammed him to the ground in front of Lu Ming.

However, the child was not affected in any way; instead, he was protected by some kind of supernatural force.

"What? Your superpowers can protect these children? I can't kill them all by myself?!"

Freddy glared angrily at Lu Ming, looking utterly enraged.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming remained expressionless.

Chen Xin, on the other hand, smiled smugly and was about to retort.

At this moment, Freddy's expression changed again, and he burst into laughter, saying, "Fool, you didn't actually believe what I said, did you? It's just some useless trash. You think this thing can stop me?"

The scraping sound of steel claws against the wall rang out, and the baby that had just been smashed to the ground was turned into a pulp.

A fire broke out, burning down the gray, painted world. Thick smoke billowed into the air, and the ordinary people inside the house fled in panic, only to be killed by Freddy the moment they stepped out of their homes.

While killing indiscriminately, Freddy laughed wildly.

Jiang Zi and the others were speechless upon seeing this scene.

They trusted Lu Mingduo before, but now they are terrified of Freddy.

How could they so easily burn down the captain's miraculous painted world?

Of the five, only Lu Ming maintained a calm expression throughout, without showing any emotion.

"Freddy, stop playing tricks on me. You're nothing but a clown in my eyes."

Lu Ming's composure was not feigned.

It's because he had already guessed that this place wasn't reality within the instance at all.

Based on past experience clearing dungeons, the God Realm might drop them anywhere within the dungeon.

Why can't this place be a dream?
From the very first second they entered the instance, Lu Ming and the others were already in a dream world.

This is not impossible.

Moreover, the inference is quite reasonable.

First of all, in reality, given the power of Ghostly Realm, Freddy Krueger would be nothing more than a roadside dummy, and would never be able to deliver such a godlike performance.

Secondly, Freddy isn't stupid; he usually doesn't appear in reality, so if you see Freddy, just assume you're in a dream.

······
After figuring out these two points, Lu Ming closed his eyes and opened them again, and sure enough, he broke free from the dream created by Freddy.

His mental strength has reached 89 points, so it's not difficult for him to wake up once he realizes he's dreaming.

Lu Ming was in an apartment in Chunmu City. Four people were lying crookedly on the ground next to him: Chen Xin, Jiang Zi, Gao Mingzhe, and Li Tian.

Their mental strength wasn't strong enough; even if they realized they were dreaming, they couldn't wake up instantly. "This Freddy is unusual; he's most likely been enhanced by the Main God Space. Not only is his desire to kill terrifyingly high, but he can also pull multiple people into his dream world simultaneously..."

"You don't even need to fall asleep; just being a little dazed is enough."

For some victims, they may be momentarily dazed, and when they come to their senses again, they have already entered the dream world where Freddy exists.

Until the moment of their death, these victims may not even know they were dreaming...

"Another point can be deduced: whether it is the high-level ability he exchanged in the God Space or the vengeful ghost he controlled in the mysterious resurrection world, Freddy cannot completely block it with his dream."

The Ghost Painting Ghost Domain that Lu Ming used in his dream was not the real Ghost Painting Ghost Domain, but rather a kind of ability he imagined.

In dreams, you can have whatever you want; it's similar to dream control.

But when it comes to controlling dreams, Lu Ming is definitely no match for Freddy.

Therefore, the imagined ghost paintings could be easily torn up and burned by Freddy.

As for the real ghost paintings and supernatural phenomena, as long as Lu Ming stays in the dream for a while longer, he can invade the past along with them.

The same applies to other supernatural phenomena and high-level abilities.

Lu Ming didn't know exactly how long the intrusion would take.

In short, the higher the intensity of the supernatural phenomenon, the shorter the time required.

If they can survive in the dream until the supernatural invades from reality, they can turn the situation from Freddy's one-sided killing spree into a head-on clash between rules.

If a top challenger can quickly assess the situation and then hold out in the dream for a while until his abilities are restored, Freddy will be no threat.

Of course, this is all predicated on the premise that the strength of your advanced abilities surpasses that of Freddy's.

"From this perspective, the standalone Freddy's Ghostly Stories without the puzzle pieces are indeed no match for the Ghostly Dreams of the Mysterious Revival World."

In just one exchange, Lu Ming had already figured out many key points.

dong dong!

Li Tian, ​​who was sleeping nearby, suddenly stirred, his brows furrowed, and his expression looked pained.

Lu Ming stepped forward and kicked him twice, waking him from his dream.

The other three were also woken up by Lu Ming's methods; those who couldn't be kicked up were forcibly pried open with their hands.

The group woke up with lingering fear, only to realize that everything that had just happened was a dream.

"Captain Lu, this ghost can enter dreams, but the supernatural tools I prepared are completely useless in dreams..."

Seeing that Li Tian looked somewhat uneasy, Lu Ming calmly said, "I have found a way to kill Freddy in my dream."

"Really? Captain Lu, you came up with a solution so quickly?"

Lu Ming nodded and said, "He is the master of dreams. It is true that no one can kill him in dreams, but this only applies to ordinary people."

"Unfortunately, I am not an ordinary person."

He stretched out a hand, and the ghost bride appeared beside him.

"Alright, don't forget that this horror movie dungeon is a team-based competitive dungeon. Our enemies are not only Freddy, but also another team of challengers, all of whom are at level 5."

Lu Ming just made a simple assessment.

Although Freddy has been enhanced by the main god, his killing speed is definitely not as fast as that of the five members of the other challenger team.

In particular, the challenger named Yamamoto among the five.

He can cut away space.

There are many areas where this advanced ability can be developed, and its killing efficiency is ridiculously high.

Lu Ming had to stop them.

The Ghostly Realm was unleashed once again, but unlike the last time, this time the Ghostly Realm was not fictional, but truly existed in reality.

As the ashes fell, Chunmu City was once again shrouded in a gray haze.

Chen Xin and the others were closest to Lu Ming and could directly feel the chilling aura emanating from the ghost bride.

Due to the rules of the God's Space, Lu Ming cannot directly kill the other challengers.

Therefore, he had no choice but to use supernatural means to change the terrain of the world in the painting and gather the survivors of Springwood City together.

"Killing other challengers will result in a point deduction as a punishment... When it really comes down to it, we have to kill the opponent no matter what, even if it means taking the punishment."

"But it's best not to take that risk. I only have a little over three thousand points right now, and nobody knows what will happen if my points are reduced to a negative number..."

Lu Ming thought to himself, if he were to be wiped out by the God of God because his points were deducted to a negative number, he would have no one to blame but himself.

After casting the Ghostly Domain spell, Lu Ming looked at Gao Mingzhe and said, "Did you exchange for the supernatural items I told you to exchange before entering the dungeon?"

Gao Mingzhe nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, Captain Lu, everything has been changed."

Apart from Chen Xin, who reached the fifth rank, the other three were only at the fourth rank and did not even have high-rank abilities.

The only thing that could be done to help Lu Ming was to use the points he had accumulated to exchange for some supernatural items.

···········
the other side.

Yumi's squad is on a killing spree.

They don't need to worry about Freddy for now, and certainly can't consider that unreliable guy as an accomplice.

"Captain Yumi, it seems the other team isn't up to par. The three-minute head start time has already passed, and they still haven't come to stop us from killing."

With bloodstains on her fair face, Yumi sheathed her long sword and said expressionlessly, "It's normal for us to win this competition. It would be abnormal if we lost... In other words, have we ever lost even once so far?"

Just as the group was talking, the surrounding air suddenly turned cold and gloomy.

The faint light source flickered a few times, seemingly affected by some supernatural force, before going out completely, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

Moreover, something is spreading in the air, causing the world to lose its color and turn into a gray haze.

The five of them felt as if they had been pulled into another world.

"what is this?"

"The ghost is here again?"

Yumi's face was tense; she didn't know why such a huge change had suddenly occurred.

She could be sure that she was fully conscious and not in a dream, so it was impossible for her to be attacked by a ghost.

Yamamoto's eyes flickered: "Something's not right, something's very wrong... The terrain has changed, is it an ability similar to mine?"

With a wave of his hand, he shaved off the building in front of him.

But the people in that house had been sent away at some point.

Moreover, the surrounding environment has become unrecognizable, as if an invisible hand from the gods is controlling everything.

Yumi first suppressed her nervousness and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic. We've already killed quite a few people in this area. It's still early. Even if the terrain changes, we can slowly find our prey in the complex terrain... It'll just be a little less efficient."

The captain's words reassured the other four.

“Miss Yumi sees things clearly. In that case, let’s continue.”

Yamamoto took a step forward, but then discovered that five figures had suddenly appeared in the gray world before him.

This is······
Another challenger team.

As the five approached, their appearances gradually became clearer: Lu Ming, Chen Xin, Jiang Zi, Gao Mingzhe, and Li Tian.

Yamamoto shouted angrily, "Bastards! What do you think you're doing? Do you want to fight us to the death, even if it means losing points?"

He was actually a little guilty.

If Lu Ming and his group really fought them, and they killed the other side, they would also have points deducted.

Lu Ming gave a stiff smile, but didn't reply. Instead, he took out a clock hanging on an old straw rope and started waving it in front of Yumi and the others.

His advantage lies in knowing the plot in advance.

So after choosing the dungeon, Lu Ming secretly instructed Gao Mingzhe to exchange for the clock that could hypnotize people.

Even if you don't know the specifics of the competition beforehand, it's always good to do some preparation.

Now it has indeed come in handy.

Lu Ming only hypnotized these people and did not kill them. According to the judgment of the Main God Space, he will not be punished or have points deducted.

The real killer is the vengeful ghost Freddy.
