Starting as a prodigy wanting milk? A world-destroying deception in the opposite direction.

"Madmen! A bunch of madmen!" Zhao Huaijin roared, brandishing his longsword and charging towards the woman with fierce momentum.

"Let's do it!"

Chu Yan flashed, his mental power surging, and attacked the woman from the other side.

The woman remained calm, and her pink psychic energy spread out once more.

One part blocked the attacks from Zhao Huaijin and Chu Yan, while the other part surged towards the men, enveloping them.

The man, enveloped in pink psychic energy, experienced a surge in both speed and strength, and charged towards Zhao Huaijin, Li Qingyan, and the others once again.

Chen Xi nodded his thanks to Song Yue, then once again activated his mental power to purify the woman's strange fragrance together with Qi Xuejian and Wu Xian.

With Song Yue's help, the eerie fragrance was gradually purified, and the men's movements slowed down, their fervor fading somewhat.

On the other side, Shen Zhen was looking for an opportunity to attack.

Although the woman's psychic powers are strange, as long as her psychic defenses can be broken, she can be severely injured.

He once again infused his despairing mental power into his ordinary mental power.

As the number of times increased, Shen Zhen's integration became much smoother. Although the consumption was still enormous, the power also increased several times.

A pale white psychic energy condensed at his fingertips; he was ready.

"Zhao Huaijin!" Shen Zhen called out.

Zhao Huaijin understood and, together with Li Qingyan, Zhou Shi, and Chu Yan, unleashed a massive light barrier, slashing towards the woman.

Seeing this, the woman indeed concentrated most of her mental energy to resist the attack.

Just then, Shen Zhen moved, and he chuckled softly:

"Witch, it's time to end this."

He raised his hand and pointed, and a beam of light as bright as the sky shot out from his fingertip, piercing straight through the woman's seemingly indestructible pink psychic defense.

This beam of light was the result of Shen Zhen's repeated fusion of despair and ordinary psychic power, containing and accumulating terrifying power.

Its speed and power were so great that the woman had no time to react.

"puff!"

The beam of light easily pierced through the woman's defenses and struck her shoulder.

"what!"

The woman cried out in pain; this was the first time she had ever been truly injured. Her face turned pale instantly, and the pink psychic energy around her became disordered.

Zhao Huaijin seized the opportunity and, taking advantage of the residual power of the light barrier created by everyone's combined attack, pressed forward and completely shattered the defense.

Chu Yan also made a move at the same time, punching the woman in the chest.

Upon seeing this, the woman hurriedly retreated, but was still struck by Chu Yan, worsening the wound on her shoulder and causing it to bleed profusely.

She stared at her bleeding wound, her eyes filled with disbelief, which was then replaced by anger and madness.

"You...you actually dared to hurt me!"

She suddenly looked up at Shen Zhen, her eyes filled with resentment:

"It was you! You did this! What exactly is your telekinesis?"

Shen Zhen did not answer, preparing to press his advantage.

Just then, the woman suddenly burst into laughter, a manic and eerie laugh:

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Since you won't let me have an easy time, then let's all die together!"

"Let you taste what it's like to be consumed by the desire for pleasure!"

As she spoke, the pink psychic power around her began to surge wildly, and the sweet fragrance in the private room instantly became extremely strong.

Those men who had been somewhat purified fell into fanaticism again, and even began to harm themselves, creating a bloody and bizarre scene.

"Oh no! She's about to unleash her psychic power!" Song Yue's expression changed drastically.

Shen Zhen also sensed the danger. The woman's mental energy fluctuations were becoming increasingly chaotic, clearly indicating that she was truly determined to fight to the death.

He frowned, his mind racing as he considered countermeasures.

A direct attack might hasten the detonation of her psychic power, while not attacking would drag her into a desperate situation.

"Captain Shen, disrupt her consciousness!" Chen Xi suddenly shouted.

Shen Zhen's heart stirred, and he immediately understood Chen Xi's meaning.

The beam of light from his fingertip transformed into a thin stream and shot towards the woman's brow.

The woman tried to defend herself, but found that her mental energy was disordered and she was unable to form an effective defense.

A stream of mental energy easily seeped into her sea of ​​consciousness, carrying a chilling aura, instantly disrupting the order of her consciousness.

"what!"

The woman let out a piercing scream, the pink psychic energy around her instantly receding, her crazed eyes now filled with pain and confusion.

"My head...it hurts so much..."

She staggered back a few steps and collapsed onto the soft couch, no longer able to muster her mental power.

The cloying sweet aroma in the private room gradually dissipated.

The crazed men, having lost the support of their psychic powers, collapsed to the ground, regaining their senses. Looking at their wounds and the surrounding scenery, their faces were filled with shame and regret.

Shen Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, his mental energy completely depleted, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Chen Xi immediately stepped forward to support him:

"Captain Shen, are you alright?"

"It's nothing, just that my mental energy was too depleted." Shen Zhen shook his head and looked at the woman on the soft couch.

"How is she?"

Song Yue stepped forward, checked the woman's condition, and said:

"She has temporarily lost her ability to move, and her mental powers are also disordered, so she can no longer do evil for a short period of time."

Shen Zhen nodded, walked to the soft couch, looked at the woman slumped on it, and asked in a deep voice:

"Who exactly are you? Why are you doing these things? Is someone behind this, ordering you to do them?"

The woman raised her head, the coldness and indifference in her eyes fading, replaced by weariness and despair:

"who I am?"

She murmured to herself:

"I'm just a poor soul who's lost everything..."

"No one is directing me. I just want everyone to understand that this world is inherently illusory, and only pleasure is real..."

"Lost everything?" Shen Zhen frowned. "What did you go through?"

The woman gave a bitter laugh, her gaze drifting into the distance, as if recalling some painful past event:

"Natural disaster...a natural disaster took away my husband, my children, and my home."

I watched with my own eyes as they were trapped under the rubble, and watched them slowly lose their breath.

I called out the name of the ancestral god, begging for his protection, but he did nothing..."

She withdrew her gaze and swept it over Shen Zhen and the others.

"You temple caretakers cannot save my family, nor can you save the people who have died."

The woman's voice gradually turned into a sob.

"From that day on, I understood that the so-called divine blessings, peace and tranquility were all lies."

This world is inherently unpredictable; living is torture. Only by indulging in pleasure can we forget the pain and grasp at that little bit of reality...

"So you use this method to bewitch others?" Chen Xi couldn't help but ask, her expression complicated.

"Bewitchment?!" The woman shook her head without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhao Huaijin angrily said:

"You're selfish to deny all hope and drag others down with you because of your own experiences!"

"Selfish?" the woman sneered.

"Hope? Hope? Hope to bring my family back to life? Hope to resurrect the dead? No! Nothing!"

Shen Zhen fell silent.

He could understand the woman's pain, but he couldn't condone her actions.

The wounds inflicted by this natural disaster are difficult to heal, but this is not a reason for depravity and destruction.

Like Lu Renjia, even at the cost of his own life, he never gave up the hope of protecting others.

This world does indeed have illusions and suffering, but it also has warmth and perseverance.

Some people rebuild their homes after disasters, while others protect their loved ones in times of hardship. These are real events, not illusory shackles.

The pain and despair on the woman's face suddenly froze.

Immediately afterwards, a look of piety and fervor appeared on his face:

"Fortunately... I met the Guide!"

"He made me understand all of this; he gave me new strength and direction!"

"You simply don't understand... The Guide is the one who sees the truth of the world; he will come to save me..."

"He will make everyone understand that pursuing pleasure is the only truth and the only way out!"

Shen Zhen was startled and immediately pressed for an answer:

"A guide? What guide? Who is he?"
