After completing the bizarre game, the world experienced a global resurgence of strange occurrences.

His jet-black hair, as black as ink, darted towards Chen Zhuo in the blink of an eye, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

His hair stood on end, exuding a sharp and eerie aura, and in an instant, it spread out into a large net, ready to completely envelop Chen Zhuo.

This strange control ability seems to have improved significantly.

Completely controlled by the strange power, Ruan Ning's eyes were devoid of any consciousness, filled only with a chilling killing intent.

At this critical moment, Chen Zhuo gently flicked the white bone cane he was holding in his right hand.

The wild, flying hair was instantly gathered together and twisted into a thick rope.

Chen Zhuo raised his left hand and suddenly grabbed the bunched-up strands of hair, then pulled hard backward with his arm.

While under control, Ruan Ning felt an irresistible force continuously flowing through her body.

Her feet quickly left the ground, and her whole body, like a yo-yo pulled by a string, flew uncontrollably along the trajectory of the strange hair towards Chen Zhuo.

Even at this point, Ruan Ning, who was being strangely controlled, showed no sign of struggling.

Instead, she used the pulling force to accelerate forward and charged fiercely towards Chen Zhuo.

Just as she was about to approach Chen Zhuo, Ruan Ning's left palm flashed with a faint light, and she summoned her own strange weapon.

She flipped her wrist, the treacherous weapon aimed directly at Chen Zhuo's heart, ready to execute him on the spot.

But how could Chen Zhuo's reaction speed possibly compare to hers when she was being strangely controlled?

The moment Ruan Ning unleashed her strange weapon, Chen Zhuo had already sensed her movement.

He slightly shifted his feet to the side, his figure moving like a ghost, easily avoiding the deadly attack of the treacherous weapon.

At the same time, the white bone cane in his right hand vanished into thin air.

Luo Nan, hiding in the shadows, witnessed the entire scene, and his surprise grew even stronger.

He licked his chapped lips, a morbid excitement almost overflowing from his eyes.

"A spatial artifact? No, there's no strange energy fluctuation. Chen Zhuo is definitely hiding a huge secret!"

Luo Nan's heart pounded wildly, and he screamed inwardly.

If I could obtain this secret, I might be able to become the sixth seat in the organization!

Just as Luo Nan's thoughts were churning, Chen Zhuo had already raised his right hand, his fingertips precisely touching Ruan Ning's forehead.

The next second, the terrifyingly strange energy within Chen Zhuo surged out like a tsunami, flowing into Ruan Ning's body through his fingertips.

Ruan Ning's face immediately contorted in pain, her features twisted together.

She could clearly feel that three different kinds of eerie energy, including her own, were colliding and fighting wildly within her body.

This eerie aura, before Chen Zhuo's eerie aura, trembled and receded from her body as if facing a king.

But even as it subsided, it continued to relentlessly erode Ruan Ning's body.

Just as Ruan Ning was about to lose consciousness and fall into a coma, Chen Zhuo's voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Stay calm, it's almost over."

His voice seemed to possess some strange magic, forcefully pulling Ruan Ning back from the brink of unconsciousness.

Ruan Ning gritted her teeth, desperately holding onto her last shred of sanity, letting Chen Zhuo's eerie energy circulate within her body, clearing away the foreign eerie energy.

The few seconds felt like an eternity.

The pained expression on Ruan Ning's face gradually faded, and the confusion and murderous intent in her eyes slowly dissipated, restoring her clarity.

Seeing this, Chen Zhuo slowly withdrew his right hand from her forehead, and the strange energy that had entered her body was also withdrawn.

Ruan Ning's legs went weak, and she staggered back two steps, leaning against the cold wall, panting heavily.

The moment Ruan Ning regained her footing, the white bone cane reappeared in Chen Zhuo's hand.

With a flick of his wrist, the white bone cane flew like an arrow toward the cell phone not far away.

With a crisp sound of shattering glass, the cell phone, which was still lit up, was smashed to pieces by the white cane in the blink of an eye.

The only light source in the corridor disappeared, plunging it back into complete darkness.

As the lights went out completely, those who had barely survived the previous infighting and were strangely controlled suddenly felt a sense of relief.

The strange force that had gripped their minds and controlled their bodies had vanished without a trace.

They regained control of their bodies, collapsing to the ground, their bodies drenched in cold sweat.

Some of them, due to their wounds, would occasionally let out heart-wrenching screams.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief and had no time to calm down, an extremely blinding light suddenly shone from behind them!

The white light instantly filled the entire corridor, illuminating everyone's figures clearly.

Everyone was suddenly startled, their hair stood on end, and they instinctively stopped all their movements.

Chen Zhuo, however, seemed to have anticipated this, and made his move the instant the lights came on.

A small, grotesque weapon shot swiftly from his hand, striking the light source with pinpoint accuracy.

With a muffled thud, the lights, which had been on for less than a second, were extinguished completely in an instant.

At the same time, Chen Zhuo lightly tapped the pocket watch at his waist, and the Mirror Ghost immediately understood and silently left the pocket watch.

But the moment that light was turned off, a blinding light suddenly shone again at the other end of the corridor!

Before anyone could react, countless lights suddenly lit up from all sides of the corridor, illuminating the entire corridor as if it were daytime!

This sudden turn of events froze everyone present in place, none daring to make the slightest unnecessary movement, not even to turn their eyes.

Just as everyone was on edge, staring intently at the surrounding lights, afraid that they might be controlled by the eerie force again if they weren't careful, someone suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Their gaze fell on their companion's feet, and they were astonished to find that the other person had no shadow!

Realizing this, they slowly lowered their heads and looked down at their feet.

To their astonishment, they found that there was no shadow on the blood-stained floor beneath their feet!

Just as everyone was looking at each other, puzzled, a series of crisp applause suddenly came from the direction of the stairwell leading to the fifth floor.

The applause was neither too fast nor too slow, but it sounded exceptionally clear and jarring in the deathly silent corridor.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound, staring warily at the stairwell.

Luo Nan had silently moved to the other side of the corridor and was now standing at the top of the stairs.

He leaned against the wall, a sickly, appreciative smile on his face, his gaze fixed on Chen Zhuo.

"Impressive! Truly admirable!"

It is remarkable that they were able to come up with this solution and complete the corresponding deployment in such a short time.

Such wisdom and responsiveness are beyond my ability to match!

I'm increasingly curious about what you'd be like if your mind went out of control—how terrifying that would be!
