American variety show world begins with subduing Jason

What we need to do is use this as a springboard to eventually find the space where the missing person exists!

"What would happen if we got lost in this alternate dimension?" Zhu Mingyao suddenly interjected.

“There’s no need to worry too much about that,” Cobb explained.

"The nature of the dream world is peculiar. Unlike other alternate dimensions, it exists based on the consciousness of intelligent beings, and normally physical entities cannot enter it."

Our current situation is like forcibly pushing a balloon into a basin of water; the moment we let go, it will immediately bounce back to the surface—that is, waking up in the closest human dream and returning to the material world… Hey!

His tone suddenly changed, and he hurriedly uttered a few words.

"found it!"

A giant whale, shimmering with blue light, leaped out and crashed into a certain spot, instantly creating ripples of thick gray mist in the void.

The fog on the wall collapsed in an instant, leaving a gaping, dark crack that looked like the gaping maw of a monster, ready to swallow them all!

"Huhu——!"

Enveloped in boundless darkness, the rapidly surging air currents swept past their ears, producing a shrill whistling sound. Then, the group's feet trembled, bobbing up and down a few times before stabilizing, as if they had stepped into a ball of bouncy jelly.

"Is this...where the enemy is hiding?" Nick muttered to himself, cautiously drawing his weapon.

As the shadows and dark clouds gradually disappeared, a few wisps of dim light slowly emerged, revealing a dilapidated and ravaged neighborhood.

The gray sky tinged with a faint dark red, like ashes lingering in a stove. Directly below, an empty street stretched into the distance, with dilapidated houses on both sides, their doors and windows missing or open, like empty eye sockets, coldly watching the group of uninvited guests.

The surrounding air was thick with the pungent smell of accumulated dust, exuding a deathly stillness that seemed to be forever mired in darkness. Even though it was a dream, it still evoked a suffocating sense of disgust.

"Material power, represented by the physical body, seems to have been weakened to a considerable extent, while power belonging to the spiritual realm has been enhanced to some extent."

Zhu Mingyao gently swung his arm, and a golden-red flame of warding off evil leaped out. He observed the flickering light and shadow of the flame, carefully sensing the difference between the laws here and the outside world.

Nick gradually acquired various pieces of equipment and continuously provided feedback based on the results of his experiments.

“Sophisticated alchemical tools are almost completely unusable, and supernatural abilities derived from one’s own body are also greatly limited.” Nick frowned and twirled his sword. This kind of environment is very unfriendly to the Witcher system, which is mainly based on melee combat.

Kant, standing to the side, stroked his cane, his expression slightly somber. His spells, which had only been a dozen meters from his hand, became distorted and out of tune, their power and range of effect greatly reduced.

“The person you’re looking for should be nearby. I can sense the evil in him.” Cobb nervously looked around and shrank into the group of people.

"Remember, in dreams, the level of power depends to a great extent on the strength of the mind. If you are filled with fear and timidity, even a world boxing champion can be knocked down by a child."

A halo of diamond-like starlight spread out, and the strange sensation on the group lessened. He let out a weary breath.

"Regarding environmental interference, I have done my best to adjust the dream rules to maintain your fighting strength to the greatest extent possible."

"Let me make this clear first: if we encounter any mortal danger, I will evacuate immediately. As for you, you're on your own."

Zhu Mingyao seemed unconcerned by his slick attitude, smiling gently as if it were a spring breeze.

"We are confident in this, and can guarantee your safety."

“Even if that guy’s power is strange and hard to track, its strength is limited. Otherwise, why would he be hiding?” Nick stepped forward and took the lead without hesitation.

The group moved quickly, passing by the old houses on both sides. Their footsteps, usually so faint, were now extremely clear on the empty street.

The entire space seemed shrouded in deathly silence, yet upon closer listening, it was not entirely silent. Faint, indescribable sounds occasionally drifted in, like a cold, slippery tentacle reaching deep into the heart, wantonly exploring, trying to evoke the deepest fears.

The surrounding darkness was like clouds and mist, but it was not pure black. Instead, it was a mixture of light and dark, writhing and shifting, like the shadows under the bed that a child stares at when sleeping alone at night. It seemed that strange and mysterious things were lurking in the ordinary, as if a terrible monster was about to jump out from it at any moment.

Nick continued, "I used some connections to examine the evidence at the scene. Its rank cannot exceed that of a lord. If the three of us are willing to pay a price, we can definitely handle it."

“Don’t include me.” Kant lowered his triangular eyes, his tone revealing obvious detachment and indifference. “I’m only involved in this operation to appease my new deputy. I can contribute, but I won’t take too much risk.”

“You’re quite frank,” Nick scoffed sarcastically.

He slightly turned his head, seemingly glancing behind him, and then gave Zhu Mingyao a meaningful look:

"Even without you, you coward, the two of us are absolutely confident."

“What a brave officer! I wonder how much the federal government pays you to buy such a loyal hunting dog…” Kant’s eyes twitched, his pale face twitched, and he was about to retort.

"Quiet down, everyone! Something's coming!" Zhu Mingyao's eyes suddenly lit up, interrupting the escalating tension.

Without him needing to remind them further, a faint, ethereal sound suddenly entered everyone's ears.

The sound seemed to come from near and far, changing unpredictably. Even though everyone present was a superhuman with extraordinary abilities, no one could pinpoint its source.

1.2. Freddy is coming to see you. 3.4. Lock your door...

As the song sang, an eerie sense of oppression approached, squeezing in from all directions, like an invisible, chilling hand piercing the chest, desperately seizing the desire to resist, injecting poison called fear and panic into the body.

"It's the dark nursery rhyme from Elm Street back then. I've seen it in the files. It's a sign that the demon is about to arrive!"

Nick gripped a charm engraved with the shape of an angel of victory, and a surge of heroic fighting spirit, as strong as liquor, flowed out, offsetting the negative effects.

The singing grew louder and louder, and the atmosphere of terror and malice became increasingly intense.

5.6. Cover your face, 7.8. Your breathing will stop...

"Hmph! Just a peculiar demon species, a pretentious and lowly thing!"

Seemingly angered by the enemy's covert actions, Kant roared in a deep voice, his staff flashing with a fierce light, and dozens of eerie green lightning bolts shot out, like chains and whips, lashing everything in sight.

Each bolt of lightning contained enough power to shatter giant rocks, clearly demonstrating that this powerful sorcerer was not just a figurehead.

In an instant, houses collapsed, shadows vanished, and the singing abruptly stopped.

However, the next second, the clear, childlike tone suddenly changed, becoming sinister and terrifying.

9.10. Never fall asleep, for He is here.

...by your side!

Accompanied by a vicious and treacherous grin, steel claws with gleaming cold light appeared behind everyone at the same time!

Chapter 449 Appearance 2

"...Right here beside you!"

Sharp steel plates are welded to an iron gripper, their sharp edges gleaming with a cold, hard light, like a lone wolf suddenly leaping out of the weeds, exuding a greedy, predatory aura.

This sneak attack came without warning, as if it had crossed the void, and carried an undeniable aura of death!

In this perilous and unpredictable alternate dimension, the group was not unprepared. However, the enemy appeared almost right next to their clothes, rendering all their defensive measures ineffective and turning them into a meaningless Maginot Line.

At this distance, even superhumans who specialize in physical enhancement and are skilled in close combat would not have time to dodge.

In this situation, how should we respond?

How to deal with it... Since you can't dodge it, then don't bother trying to avoid it!

In the blink of an eye, the four who were ambushed each displayed their extraordinary abilities.

The sharp blade slashed down viciously, penetrating straight into Cobb's left back near his heart, then slicing diagonally down to his waist and hips, almost severing him in half.

Yet, amidst such a gruesome wound, there was no broken flesh or gushing blood. The somewhat frail body suddenly twisted, shattering like fragile glass, quickly turning into a hazy white mist, making the surroundings appear dreamlike and ethereal.

Even though he claims to be bad at fighting, the young dream thief still has ways to defend himself.

At the same time, without turning his head, Kant let out a sharp whistle.

The deep sonic waves flowed like liquid along the skin, quickly forming a perfectly fitting, invisible barrier on the body's surface. It vibrated and undulated a hundred times in the blink of an eye, forcefully deflecting the blade at the last second, demonstrating extremely high magical skill.

On the other hand, compared to the previous two, Nick handled the situation with more ease:

Faced with the impending fatal blow, he didn't even bother to defend himself. With a nimble twist and turn of his arm, he thrust the ancient silver-gray longsword back, actually going all out with a life-or-death fighting style right from the start.

Just as it seemed that both sides were about to suffer heavy losses, the ferocious claw that had just touched his skin suddenly trembled, went limp and collapsed, transforming from a hard weapon for killing into cooked spaghetti, which then evaporated and dissipated.

The Grimm bloodline suppresses all supernatural forces, and is especially effective against non-human and evil beings. You deserve to have it!

All three attacks failed, and the last steel claw had already pierced Zhu Mingyao's back.

Before the mastermind could make any further move, he transformed into a vortex of colorful light, within which a hazy palace emerged. The immense attraction, like hundreds of giant hands, followed the connections between the spells, dragging a sinister shadow out of the void.

The silver-gray blade smoothly sliced ​​through the air. Nick's longsword, carrying a surging power to vanquish evil, arrived just in time. The faint black smoke shrouding the figure instantly dissipated, revealing a truly hideous appearance.

The brown, red, gray, and green striped sweater was riddled with holes, and the severely burned, charred body, like a withered tree trunk, was faintly visible, making one want to vomit. But compared to the blood-red, muscular face beneath the filthy top hat, the level of mental pollution was actually less.

The figure thrashed backward with all its might, finally managing to break free of its restraints in a disheveled state.

"Freddy, the Devil of Elm Street, it really was you who caused this."

The dense glint of blades wove into a net, like a gentle spring breeze carrying a light drizzle, descending upon the enemy. Along with it came Nick's resolute and furious questioning.

"Where are the victims? You persistent bastard!"

"Haha, idiot, is that even a question? Their souls and fears have long since become the nourishment for my resurrection... Your fate will be the same!"

Freddy let out a sinister laugh, his figure ethereal and fleeting, appearing and disappearing in the dim environment, like a ghost crawling out of the underworld, dancing with the blades, the dense flashes of light unable to harm him in the slightest.

He effortlessly dodged the attacks, and even had the energy to keep provoking others, looking for an opportunity to retaliate.

Just then, a burst of eerie blue phosphorescence exploded, and three concentric, strangely shaped magical runes spread out, connecting and enveloping the entire battlefield.

Freddy's figure suddenly solidified, Nick's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suddenly accelerated, seizing the opportunity to strike with his sword.

The blade, comparable to a powerful dispelling spell, melted charred flesh into ashes wherever it touched, leaving only a strong, acrid smell of burning flesh. Had Freddy not possessed extraordinary physical abilities, he would have been decapitated.

"Higher Demonic Curse!"

Kant's hoarse chanting arrived late, his staff raised high, his already pale face turning even paler.

Besides various insidious black magic tricks, sorcerers also engage in treacherous and treacherous relationships with evil creatures such as demons, attempting to enslave them. Under their long-planned attack, even demon nobles of the lord rank will suffer a hidden loss!

At that moment, Zhu Mingyao's eyes suddenly lit up. His spiritual power, which seemed to be tangible, formed a strange combination, as if two invisible and intangible swords were about to strike the enemy heavily.

"Pfft!" Freddy's chest suddenly collapsed, then shattered and went through, leaving two fist-sized holes.

Wisps of purplish-black light drifted out along with wailing cries, then transformed into the pained faces of men, women, and children.

As the ancients said, those with a firm will can use their eyes as swords, making their enemies tremble with fear at a single glance. Against a semi-ethereal monster like Freddy, who relies heavily on spiritual existence, this move, "Eye Sword Strike," is more effective than any water, fire, wind, or thunder.

Severely injured, Freddy's aura plummeted, and he let out a sharp and piercing howl. Ripples of air surged and tore away the disguise from the previously calm space.

In the flickering light and shadow, the dilapidated streets on both sides suddenly swelled and twisted, as if they had suddenly come to life. The five tallest buildings moved and closed together, stretching and transforming into huge hands wearing bladed gloves, stirring up a chilling wind and gloomy fog that pressed towards the center.

The demon binding magic circle flickered frantically, then exploded together with the giant hand in a dazzling blue light.

"If we were outside, there would indeed be a high chance that you two could kill me if you joined forces."

But this is my home turf. In this labyrinth woven from dreams, every trace of fear, every shred of despair, is the source of my strength!

With a chilling echo, Freddy's body fell backward and merged into nothingness, causing the entire ground to tremble violently, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had erupted.
