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

Chapter 160 Freddy's Terrified (5.4k)

Supernatural confrontations often end in an instant.

Although the confrontation between the ghost that crawled out of Li Tian's body and Youmei was not a supernatural confrontation, the outcome was decided in an instant.

Although Yumi exchanged for an extremely rare support-type ability, she also possesses remarkable skills in martial arts.

Not to mention that she specifically redeemed this longsword from the God's Shop, and it possesses great destructive power.

In the blink of an eye, Yumi had already unleashed thirty-six strikes.

The sword intent was as sharp as Yumi's gaze, and it was poured entirely onto the demon's body.

But the ghost was not affected in the slightest.

He suddenly reached out and lifted Yumi up.

The latter instinctively tried to struggle, but under the ghost's terrifying strength, Yumi was unable to move.

Click!

Yumi's neck was snapped.

As if to confirm that Yumi was completely dead, the demon snapped Yumi's neck and then spun her head 360 degrees.

The brittle bones in her cervical vertebrae made a cracking sound, and Yumi's fair neck was stained crimson with blood.

After doing all this, the demon threw Yumi's body on the ground like a rag doll and dragged it back and forth.

Until Chen Xin could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

The moment Chen Xin fainted, the charred ghost vanished into thin air without warning.

The so-called ghost is actually a kind of ability, or you could say it's a personification of a rule.

Without Chen Xin's blessing, the ghost naturally disappeared.

"Miss Yumi!"

Yamamoto then got up from the ground.

The ghost's strength was terrifying, and even the ability to shave space couldn't affect it.

It was so powerful that it was despair-inducing.

Even Miss Yumi suffered at the hands of the vengeful ghost.

With a heavy heart, Yamamoto looked at Lu Ming and the others.

But he was met only with Lu Ming's indifferent and cold gaze.

There was also a pendulum clock that was tied with old straw rope and kept swinging.

"When people are extremely sad, their emotions fluctuate wildly. At this time, they are most easily controlled and most likely to make mistakes."

"Whether you feel angry, sad, or afraid right now, it doesn't matter, because you are about to die."

"This time, no one can save you."

"..."

Boom!
As before, the four fifth-tier challengers, dressed in suits, entered the dream together.

This is the second time they have been affected by the pendulum clock.

On the gray, dusty ground, Chen Xin lay unconscious, bleeding from all seven orifices, her skin an unnatural pale white.

Clearly, granting Li Tian such powerful high-level abilities has far exceeded the maximum burden she can bear.

Li Tian's situation is even more serious.

After the charred ghost disappeared from reality, his shriveled body began to swell again.

However, his eyes were empty and cloudy, and he lay motionless on the ground, his fate unknown.

Jiang Zi stood there, somewhat at a loss: "Captain Lu... can they still wake up?"

"He's still alive, but if this drags on, things could change."

Only by clearing the [Nightmare on Elm Street] dungeon and returning to the Main God Space can you spend 300 points to repair your entire body.

In other words, time is running out for Lu Ming and the others.

We must clear the level as soon as possible to rescue Li Tian and Chen Xin.

The good news is that time likely passes more slowly in dreams than in reality.

The attacking team members who entered the dream were quickly killed by Freddy.

All four were brutally murdered.

Yamamoto, in particular, had a rather novel way of dying.

Lu Ming suspected that he had been served on a large plate.

Because Yamamoto's body was cut open bit by bit by a sharp knife, like cutting vegetables, into countless small strips of meat.

It's no wonder Freddy's methods were exceptionally cruel this time.

He's probably annoyed by these guys too.

He entered the dream again and again, and was killed by him again and again.

This time when he went in, Freddy's first reaction was probably: "Oh, my friend, what brings you here again? You're such an unkillable cockroach. Let me see if a cockroach will die if it's cut into tiny pieces."

After confirming that the attacking team had been completely killed and had no chance of survival, the main god space panel notification appeared in the dungeon for the first time.

This time, the panel is deep red, carrying a clear warning.

In the team-based competitive instance, Li Tian, ​​a challenger from the defending team, intentionally killed someone, resulting in a deduction of 15000 points.

[The defending team's challenger, Li Tian, ​​has been detected to have a negative score. The specific processing result will be available after the instance ends.]

Li Tian was still not fully conscious at this time, so only Lu Ming and a few others could see the warning panel.

Lu Ming frowned.

15000 points, that's indeed a huge number.

Li Tian only has 11000 points in total.

After this incident, the number was reduced to a negative value.

The specific handling method provided by the Main God Space will only be available after the dungeon ends...

Other punishments are fine, but if the punishment is being directly annihilated by the main god, then there is no way to undo it.

Besides, Lu Ming might be able to glean some of the God's attitude from this.

For those at the bottom of the ladder, a rule will be established that "it is strictly forbidden to kill each other".

After all, a penalty of 15000 points is not something that ordinary challengers can afford.

However, as the challenger's level increases, a certain degree of leniency is granted, allowing for paid killings.

As for whether the rules would completely change after entering the higher-dimensional God Space, Lu Ming didn't know; he could only make a rough guess.

This is not groundless.

If the God Realm wanted to completely prohibit infighting, it could simply eliminate violators.

Therefore, Lu Ming guessed that this rule was just a protection mechanism similar to that of the newbie village.

"I'm entering the dream now. Jiang Zi will enter the dream with me. Gao Mingzhe will keep watch outside. If anything unusual happens, wake us up immediately."

"Jiang Zi, once you and I enter the dream world, don't think about anything else. Our first goal is to survive. The longer we survive, the greater our chances of winning will be."

"Yes, Captain Lu."

After giving their instructions, Lu Ming and Jiang Zi found a quiet place where they wouldn't be disturbed and entered the dream together.

···········
In this instance, falling asleep is a very simple thing.

On the contrary, staying awake is much more difficult.

Lu Ming clearly remembered that in the original plot, many members of the main group knew Freddy's killing patterns and tried to stay sober with coffee or adrenaline, but they always failed to stay sober for one reason or another.

He repeatedly told his friends to keep an eye on him and to wake him up immediately if anything happened.

However, each time, the helpers the main characters find fall asleep before the main characters themselves.

Or perhaps you buy coffee and leave the lights on in your bedroom to force yourself not to fall asleep.

In a situation like this, without a second thought, some fake parent will secretly put sleeping pills in your water, forcibly inject you with sedatives, and kill you...

Lu Ming remembered that when he watched these scenes before, he wished he could climb into the TV and punch those fake people.

Lost in thought about all sorts of things, Lu Ming's consciousness drifted into a dream.

"here it is······"

Lu Ming looked around and realized that the environment he was in in his dream was exactly the same as the environment he was in in reality.

Without a doubt, this was a trap that Freddy had meticulously set for him.

Confusing dreams with reality can create the illusion that dreams are invading reality.

Moreover, it is the familiar environment that is more likely to trigger a person's latent fears.

Lu Ming's eyes darkened: "Freddy has killed a lot of people. He has become stronger by devouring souls. Now he can pull multiple people into the dream at the same time, and it is very likely that he will no longer have the previous flaws and limitations."

“Even if I no longer fear him, his power in the dream will not be weakened.”

Jiang Zi woke up next to Lu Ming.

The reason for bringing Jiang Zi along was to increase the chances of survival in the early stages of the dream.

In the early stages of the dream, Lu Ming's supernatural abilities haven't yet invaded. Surviving as long as possible during this period is key to defeating Freddy.

Once the supernatural invades the dream, Lu Ming can use his advantage in the strength of the rules to kill Freddy in the dream.

Carefully examining his body at that moment, Lu Ming was somewhat surprised.

He was no ordinary person who was weak and helpless; his body was strong and powerful, and he could use his superpowers at will.

This is Lu Ming using the power of his own dreams.

In dreams, physical strength is meaningless; the most important thing is to have strong mental power.

Coincidentally, Lu Ming's greatest strength was mental power, and he added every attribute point he obtained to the mental power category.

Therefore, his physique in the dream far surpasses that of ordinary people. With the help of the dream itself, he can imagine superpowers and master them much faster than ordinary people.

"Let's go."

Lu Ming got out of bed, preparing to leave the house. He felt it was dangerous here; there were many places around that seemed like they could be hiding people.

Moreover, Freddy could simply collapse the house to temporarily trap them under the rubble, rendering them incapacitated.

"It's been a long time since I've experienced what it's like to be an ordinary person."

Although he is physically strong and can use low-intensity superpowers, the inability to use supernatural abilities makes people feel very uneasy.

Jiang Zi followed Lu Ming cautiously, her expression inevitably showing some nervousness.

Before entering the dream, Lu Ming told her the information he already knew, as well as how to use superpowers in the dream.

Because Freddy's whereabouts could be anywhere, they didn't dwell on the topic.

Based on Lu Ming's understanding of Freddy, the guy was mentally unstable and unaware that Lu Ming's supernatural abilities would invade his dreams over time.

Freddy will most likely be happy to manipulate these two prey who have come to him.

He would repeatedly threaten them until they suffered a mental breakdown, or until Freddy got tired of playing with them, before finally killing them.

This is precisely the opportunity to buy time for Lu Ming.

呲呲呲!
The harsh, dry scraping sound came from somewhere.

It's like someone is rubbing a dry blackboard with their long, uncut fingernails, or someone is constantly rubbing the title page of a textbook with their long fingernails.

The sound was very unpleasant and unsettling.

Lu Ming knew that this was the sound Freddy made with his steel claws.

He was enjoying the process of toying with his prey.

"Freddy is very likely in the room. Don't linger, leave now."

As soon as he stepped out of the dark apartment building, Lu Ming suddenly noticed that the outside light was much brighter than inside the apartment.

The bright moonlight shone on the grass, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

There were even a few blonde, blue-eyed foreign girls on the grass.

They wore pure white dresses, their faces bearing unchanging smiles, and jumped rope together.

Two little girls each hold one end of a jump rope, and they swing the rope together, allowing the little girl in the middle to jump and dodge.

If you only look at this scene, it might not seem like much.

But it was the middle of the night.

The streets were deserted.

The street was eerily quiet, save for the silvery laughter of a few little girls and the sound of them singing nursery rhymes.

"One, two, Freddy's here to see you... Three, four, you'd better lock the door..."

"Five, six, hold your cross tight... seven, eight, it's best not to sleep... nine, ten, never sleep."

Jiang Zi was terrified by the nursery rhyme and whispered, "Captain Lu, something's wrong with these kids. We'd better not go any closer."

In the dream, Jiang Zi couldn't even use the supernatural props she had prepared beforehand.

However, she could still sense that, because she had increased her mental strength several times, she was much stronger than ordinary people in her dreams.

Lu Ming was about to speak when a puddle of gloomy water appeared at his feet.

Without any spiritual entity to detect the surrounding situation, Lu Ming did not notice the puddle of water.

He stepped on it and sank right in.

Boom!
It was clearly a shallow puddle, but the depth below seemed endless; you couldn't touch the bottom at all.

Moreover, for ordinary people, the unknown is definitely the most terrifying thing.

Jiang Zi reacted quickly; the moment Lu Ming stepped into the puddle, she had already reached out and grabbed Lu Ming's hand.

"Army!"

Before she could even feel relieved, Jiang Zi felt a terrifying, strange force coming from Lu Ming, which pulled her into the water as well.

In the icy water, something that looked like a hand grabbed Lu Ming's trouser leg and pulled it down forcefully.

thump!
The two of them fell into a puddle together.

Only then did they realize that the puddle was not connected to an ordinary pool, but to a vast deep seabed.

Everything around me was a deep blue, unlike the clear blue underwater world I had imagined. There was no light shining in, it was dim and oppressive, there was nothing to hold onto, and I could feel my body still falling downwards.

This feeling of drifting further and further away from the water, and losing all strength, is enough to cause someone who loves the sea to develop a severe fear of the deep sea.

No, that's not right.

There will be no future, because it's impossible for anyone to survive in such an environment.

Lu Ming and Jiang Zi were struggling in the seawater, spitting out a series of bubbles, looking as if they were about to suffocate.

"Are they going to die so soon? My two little darlings."

At this moment, in a cramped and narrow factory, a strange man wearing a felt hat and red and green striped clothes was chuckling, a chilling smile on his horrifying face that had been burned by the fire.

No one could have imagined that the "sea" where Lu Ming and Jiang Zi were actually just a small fish tank in front of him.

The fish tank was filled with murky, foul-smelling water, and two tiny figures were struggling inside...
pat!

Seeing that his prey was about to die, Freddy had no choice but to press a button.

The water that had been poured into the fish tank leaked out through a gap.

The next moment, Lu Ming and Jiang Zi's bodies grew larger and returned to their normal size.

"Hey hey hey, old friends, look who's here!"

Freddy brandished the steel claws in his hands, looking quite pleased.

He greatly admired his imagination and always created new tortures in his dreams to torment his weak prey.

Especially Lu Ming and Jiang Zi, these two prey gave Freddy a very different feeling. They were so special that Freddy temporarily stopped hunting down the residents of Springwood City and wanted to have some fun with them.

Perhaps they were all very powerful figures in the past, but once they entered the dream world, they had to obey and be controlled and dominated by him.

This feeling gave Freddie, who was inherently insecure, a sense of pleasure in being superior to others.

······
But he didn't notice.

Lu Ming's face remained expressionless, but a barely perceptible hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

Freddy thought his game was funny, but he had no idea that he was the one being played.

Lu Ming and Jiang Zi possess physical abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people, and can also utilize superpowers to a certain extent.

However, if he were to fight Freddy directly, he would definitely be no match for the latter.

Therefore, Lu Ming took advantage of Freddy's penchant for toying with his prey and concealed his true strength.

By gradually revealing his strength, like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey's head, he could continuously pique Freddy's interest.

Lu Ming and Jiang Zi were able to stall for time effectively before Freddy lost interest.

For example, just now in the fish tank, Lu Ming could easily hold his breath for an hour without dying, but he pretended to be choking on water and about to die.

When Lu Ming's supernatural powers invaded the dream world, and the roles of the attacker and defender were reversed, Freddy, that ugly monster, could no longer laugh.

"Gentlemen, since this is your first time visiting my secret hideout, how about playing a game with me?"

Without giving the two a chance to react or answer, Freddy scraped the ground with his steel claws and said in a hoarse, dry voice, "Let's play hide-and-seek. I'll count to ten, and you'd better hide. If you don't hide well, I'll kill you. How about it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Freddy pulled his felt hat down to cover his eyes and began the countdown.

"Ten! Nine! Six! Four!"

His way of counting was strange, deliberately omitting several numbers in the middle, as if he wanted to put more pressure on the two of them, stir up their emotions, and make them fully immerse themselves in the game.

Lu Ming's face was gloomy as he walked step by step to a corner and stood there.

Jiang Zi climbed into the boiler used for firing iron.

Their choices weren't exactly good, but there was no other way; the factory was so cramped that there was simply nowhere to hide.

Not to mention Freddy's countdown is going on so fast.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the game begins!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Freddy took off his bowler hat and bowed in a gentlemanly manner.

He could actually spot where the two were hiding at a glance.

But he pretended not to see it, deliberately missing it several times, and then used his sharp steel claws to slash the things next to him.

After playing around with it for a few minutes, Freddy probably got tired and casually turned on the iron-fired boiler.

Then he walked to the corner where Lu Ming was hiding and said jokingly, "Were you so scared that you peed your pants? I was planning to let you go if you could hide for five minutes, but unfortunately, I caught you at the last minute... I'm sorry, you can't leave now."

Freddy made a face and suddenly darted out from around the corner, trying to give Lu Ming, who was hiding there, a big fright.

But Lu Ming remained expressionless, showing no emotional fluctuation, and stood there stiffly.

Freddy, on the contrary, was quite startled.

Because standing quietly beside Lu Ming was a woman dressed in a bright red wedding gown with a veil on her head.

Her aura was so chilling that even the old light bulbs emitting a dim yellow glow in the factory began to flicker.

What is this thing?!
Why does it appear in the dream he controls?
Freddy felt a sense of foreboding and decided to leave.

But it's too late.

He discovered that the iron-burning boiler had not been turned on at all, and Jiang Zi walked out of it with a look of disgust and contempt on her face.

Freddy's abilities in the dream world are severely suppressed by some rule that exists above his Nightmare Demon.

He couldn't leave, nor could he resist.

At this moment, Freddy finally experienced what it felt like to be manipulated.

As the ashes of the paper fell, the world turned into a hazy gray.

Lu Ming finally managed a stiff smile.

Why are you in such a hurry to leave?

"The game has only just begun."
