It was supposed to be a Mythic card set, but what the heck is this Warhammer 40k?

At this moment, the area downstairs in the residential complex resembles a painting of hell.

Some people were convulsing and foaming at the mouth, clearly exhausted both physically and mentally.

Some people tiptoed and spun around, their soles worn raw and bloody from the ground, revealing their bare bones.

But these people still wore eerie smiles on their faces, showing no intention of stopping.

What's even stranger is that this extremely horrifying scene deeply captivated Lu Ya's mind.

Just one glance was enough to give Lu Ya an urge to join in.

Fortunately, this impulse only lasted for a moment, and the two cards in his mind simultaneously issued strong warnings.

This instantly restored Lu Ya's consciousness.

After regaining his senses, Lu Ya felt a lingering fear. If it weren't for those two cards, he probably would have been pulled into this situation just like his neighbors in the community.

However, now is not the time to feel fortunate; the most important thing is to deal with the current situation.

After all, these people were his neighbors, and many of them had a good relationship with his parents. After his parents passed away unexpectedly, these neighbors took good care of him.

Lu Ya naturally couldn't choose to sit idly by.

However, Lu Ya did not act rashly, but carefully observed the situation downstairs.

Using his mental power to probe, Lu Ya's gaze quickly locked onto the pair of red ballet shoes on Aunt Wang's feet.

Through his mental power, Lu Ya could clearly observe that a large number of illusory threads extended from the red dancing shoes on Aunt Wang's feet, connecting to everyone in the community.

"Is it a strange creature that escaped from Peach Blossom Village?"

Lu Ya couldn't help but frown.

Their homeroom teacher just mentioned in the class group that the situation in the Peach Blossom Village Secret Realm has become more serious, with a small number of strange creatures escaping from the secret realm.

To my utter surprise, he ran into her so soon.

Lu Ya silently assessed the strength of the red dancing shoes in his mind.

According to the "Strange Monster Disaster Level Assessment Standard" formulated by the Card Master Alliance, all monsters are divided into six different levels.

They are categorized as follows: Ghost Story Level, Pollution Level, Nightmare Level, Calamity Level, Natural Disaster Level, and Evil God Level.

Different levels of monsters pose different dangers to ordinary people.

For example, there are supernatural or bizarre stories.

Monsters of this level can only be attacked using ordinary physical means.

Slightly more powerful monsters might be able to interfere with and frighten ordinary people through visual and auditory means.

For example, bizarre phenomena such as "the wall being knocked down by a ghost" or "the lamp being blown out by a ghost" are often the work of these kinds of supernatural tales.

Normally, these kinds of monsters are not difficult to deal with; any card player with a little experience can easily handle them.

Above that are the pollution-level monsters.

Although the difference between the Pollution Level and the Mystery Level is only one level, the level of danger between the two is like an insurmountable chasm.

Compared to the supernatural horrors, the most distinctive feature of the pollution-level monsters is their ability to cause mental pollution.

When mentally corrupted, ordinary people completely lose their will and become puppets manipulated and controlled by monsters.

Furthermore, as the number of people contaminated increases, the monster's power will grow even stronger.

The wailing ghost that Lu Ya and Yang Feng encountered in the secret realm was a pollution-level monster, and an extremely powerful one at that.

If that mournful ghost had contaminated one or two more people back then, it might have gone from being a "contaminated" level to a "nightmare" level.

Unfortunately, this mournful ghost was born at the wrong time, encountering Lu Ya, who had just transmigrated.

Then, he was mistaken for a roadside animal by the [Weeping One] and kicked to death.

The red ballet shoes that Aunt Wang had picked up were clearly contaminated.

However, the danger posed by these red dancing shoes was clearly far less than that of the wailing ghost he had encountered in the secret realm.

But this does not mean that Lu Ya can let his guard down.

He understood the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, and he didn't want to capsize in a ditch.

However, Lu Ya did not intend to use the card [The Lamenter].

Because his current goal is to save lives.

The Lamenters are indeed powerful in combat and are one of the most human-friendly chapters among the many Astartes.

However, Lu Ya was worried that if the [Wailer] lost control of his strength during the battle and killed someone, it would be a great loss.

After all, the difference between Astartes and mortals is undeniable; in the face of Astartes, mortals are as fragile as paper dolls.

It was with this in mind that Lu Ya pondered for a moment before choosing to use the [Krieg Soldier] card.

As the summoning was completed, a Krieg soldier wearing a hazmat mask, holding an entrenching tool, and completely covered in protective gear appeared before Lu Ya.

Upon seeing Lu Ya, the Krieg soldier quickly performed the Eagle Salute in front of his chest, and Lu Ya returned the salute in kind.

After doing all this, the Krieg soldiers quietly looked at Lu Ya.

Lu Ya instantly understood what the Krieg soldier meant.

It could be said that Krieg soldiers have never been good at any form of communication; their only skill is following orders.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Ya swiftly issued his order: "Save them!"

Upon receiving the order from Lu Ya, the Krieg soldier did not hesitate for a moment. He grabbed his entrenching tool, flipped over, and jumped from the third floor where Lu Ya was.

Almost the instant Krieg landed, everyone present immediately noticed this incongruous presence.

Their dance stopped at that moment, and they all turned to look in Krieg's direction.

These people all had blank expressions and moved in perfect unison, like puppets suspended by strings.

They all spoke at the same time, addressing Krieg in unison.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping us from dancing? Why, why won't you dance? If you don't dance, you'll die!"

Among those present were men, women, young and old, and their voices were all different, but at this moment they came together as if they were spoken from one mouth.

The sound seemed to come from the subspace, a soft, ethereal melody that made one feel dizzy just by listening to it.

As soon as he finished speaking, these people began to pounce on Krieg, seemingly trying to overwhelm him with their sheer numbers.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be thrown into disarray by this sudden turn of events.

However, Krieg had only one reaction to this.

What are you mumbling? I can't understand you. Talk to my entrenching tool!

When faced with the first person rushing towards him, Krieg grabbed his entrenching tool and slapped it down on the man's forehead.

It has to be said that Krieg controlled his strength very well; the force of that shovel strike was just right, leaving the opponent stunned but not mentally taxed!

It was accompanied by a crisp, muffled "bang".

The two of them rolled their eyes back and collapsed to the ground unconscious. Their sleep quality was exceptionally good!
