Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

She had even summoned the Red Oni and the Blue Oni, but it did not bring her a sense of security; instead, her fear continued to grow.

Without realizing it, she recalled her childhood in Japan.

Caught in a power struggle within his family, with an indifferent father and a tragically deceased mother, he was unable to inherit the family legacy and was relegated to becoming a psychic. Even after subduing the Red and Blue Oni, he remained, in the eyes of his family and father, merely an insignificant pawn…

Without realizing it, her breathing became much heavier.

"Qi Ye, are you alright?" Zhao Hao tugged at her hand.

Although Zhao Hao cannot see, it does not affect his perception of his surroundings, but Nanaya Saki must be completely in the dark, suffering the oppression of losing her sight.

Only then did Qi Ye snap out of her reverie, and she felt a little safer only by tightly gripping Zhao Hao's hand.

She instinctively wiped her forehead and found it was covered in cold sweat.

Zhao Hao knew he couldn't delay any longer. Although he wanted to see what other strange changes this spell, which was somewhat similar to his dream, might bring, it seemed that Nanaya Saki couldn't take it anymore.

"I said, 'Let there be light!'"

Zhao Hao unleashed a punch – the Solar Flare!

It was as if a sun had risen from the ground, instantly illuminating everything with boundless light.

The secret technique of the Great Black Heaven Descends, which consisted of hundreds of talismans, was instantly torn apart by a dazzling light, and all the talismans turned to ashes in an instant.

The Jonin who was spying on Zhao Hao and his companion through the Great Black Sky was blinded by the light, causing him excruciating pain in his eyes. Tears streamed down his face as he crawled haphazardly on the ground.

Before he could recover, he and the person he was protecting disappeared from the spot.

Such a huge commotion, happening both day and night, and with the sun shining on the ground, must have caused panic.

Zhao Hao simply brought them into the dream world and dragged them in, taking them away with him...

Chapter 406 Revenge, Elena

In a small town on the outskirts of Boston, an event suddenly occurred where daylight turned to night, and then the sun rose again from nowhere. It caused a huge uproar in the area!

Because many residents of the town were affected by the sudden darkness, the psychological impact was severe, with insomnia and nightmares being the mildest symptoms. Several who were already vulnerable even developed mental health issues and were admitted to a free mental hospital under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Mysteries.

Many eyewitnesses, in interviews and recounting their experiences, claimed that during those brief, unlit nights, they heard the roars of terrifying monsters and felt something crawling and rubbing near them. The night was like a nightmare!

Although that dark period only lasted five or six minutes, many people claim it is their eternal nightmare.

For the rest of their lives, they probably wouldn't dare to sleep with the lights off.

Meanwhile, another group of people unleashed their conspiracy theories, claiming that the sun rising from the ground was likely another experiment by the America government on its own citizens.

That enormous amount of light and heat could very well be some new type of nuclear bomb. Those shameful and despicable politicians have released nuclear bombs on their own land!

Although this is all nonsense, and many details don't align with a nuclear explosion—it's completely illogical—those people insist they know the true nature of the US government—that they're capable of anything!

Although their conspiracy theory was wrong this time, their conclusion was correct.

The US did indeed use a small hydrogen bomb on its own soil. It was in that small town whose name and all records have been erased.

Even now, many people from that small town in Texas who escaped with their lives still can't remember anything about their hometown, and some even doubt whether their memories are faulty.

Black-clad agent: Madam, look here~ (Click~ Memory erased!) That's right, you had a car accident and lost your memory. Please don't overthink it; thinking too much is bad for your brain.

……

I never expected something like this to happen to the masked man with the ninja head from Crescent Moon Ninja.

He was still investigating Zhao Hao and Nanaya Saki's identities, while that young master Hossman was hesitating whether to tell him the information. As a result, the paranormal team had already taken down more than half of their subordinates.

The entire East Coast, after more than two years of secretly mobilizing hundreds of people and spending tens of millions of US dollars, collapsed almost overnight!

Of the peripheral superhumans that Young Master Hossman had gathered over the years, most of those who were capable of doing anything were dead.

The Crescent Moon Ninjas have suffered even greater losses, losing more than half of their manpower since they began smuggling Ame into the country. A large portion of those losses occurred overnight.

Hossman and the man in the crescent mask suffered heavy losses.

Originally, Hossman did not want to provoke Zhao Hao, because he knew the weight of the savior candidate. The final redemption plan was not just being led by Amei's family. There were too many people watching them in the dark.

Even the slightest contact can attract a lot of unnecessary attention.

However, I can't stand it anymore!

A plan that I had meticulously crafted over five years, expending countless human and financial resources, was rendered useless overnight.

How can I bear this feeling?

Especially since young Master Hossman comes from the wealthy and powerful America family, a family that has been rich and powerful for three hundred years, he can be described as a born prodigy. He gets whatever he wants, and at a young age, he inherited the family's skull ring and became a full member of the Skull and Bones Society, one of the masters of the superpower America.

How could he possibly bear such a bizarre and sudden defeat? It was humiliating!

This was the first time I'd ever taken a plan so seriously. I spent five years on it, paying countless costs at the most opportune moment, deceiving everyone, and was filled with pride and a sense of accomplishment. Just when I was about to reap the rewards, it inexplicably failed!

And it seems the other party wasn't targeting me, but rather the bodyguards I hired. They conveniently ruined my plan, and I got the short end of the stick!

It feels like a relative's naughty kid knocking over the cabinet where you keep your figurines as he walks by!

Zhao Hao killed Hossman's men on the spot several times, but took some Crescent Moon Ninjas with him. Hossman naturally realized that he was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire.

Back when these Japanese ninjas first arrived in America, it seems that a small group of them were wiped out by Zhao Hao and that Latino Prada. Could it be that they still hold a grudge and want to exterminate them all?!

Reason told Hossman that the plan had failed, and the best thing to do now was to extricate himself from the matter and completely fade away from it.

But I can't accept it emotionally! He hates it! My hand... my plans!

The masked ninja from the Crescent Moon Ninja was also dissatisfied. Although he had been invited and received great benefits, you didn't say that he would be fighting at such a high intensity.

I've been here for over a year, and more than half of them have died. It's worse than the supernatural battles!

In this situation, I asked you for some information and you were stammering. Are you plotting against me?

Especially after the news broke this morning that the masked man had brought his men directly to Hossman, looking fierce and the atmosphere tense, with the scene on the verge of conflict.

In the end, Hossman chose to go with the flow.

I can't swallow this anger, but I can't do it myself, so let those damned Japanese ninjas go after that Song man!

"The man you're looking for is named Zhao Hao. He's a Song Dynasty superhuman in Freedom City. He's quite close to the Red Gate..."

Hossman was also quite dissatisfied with the masked man and his gang. "I've been dragged into this by you guys, and I haven't even asked you to pay me back. How dare you still bare your teeth?"

It is said that the Japanese devils know small manners but lack righteousness, are ignorant of loyalty and righteousness, and are good at subjugating their superiors. This is indeed true!

Let them fight it out! Whoever dies, it's a joy for me!

Hossman deliberately concealed Zhao Hao's identity as a savior candidate, and didn't mention that he was actually a Bronze-level transcendent, possibly even Bronze Level 2.

It's obvious they're plotting to use someone else to do their dirty work. No wonder they're heirs to a long-established American capitalist family—ruthless and cunning!

……

Elena, a student majoring in psychology, is preparing her graduation thesis and plans to graduate early.

The sun had already set, but there were still quite a few students in the library.

Although Amei advocates a happy education, those who can get into prestigious universities are naturally not products of that kind of happy education; they all understand the meaning of hard work.

Elena, who was engrossed in reading a thick book, suddenly paused, then continued flipping through the pages. But her mind had already wandered off.

Her awakened innate spiritual ability is the perception and influence of emotional changes.

This may be due to the fact that she and the Adams moved around a lot during her childhood, eventually settling in Free City, Amer.

Her nomadic life made it difficult for her to integrate into a place, because she had to move away before she could even get used to it.

This led her to meet many people, but she had few friends, and she was also very sensitive to other people's emotional changes.

This may explain why she developed a strong liking for the older boy next door at such a young age; perhaps the unique family atmosphere of the Song Dynasty attracted her.

Okay, I can't say any more, or I'll end up going into Freud's theories about the impact of family of origin on a person. And I don't understand that.

Elena's abilities developed rapidly, especially during her two years studying psychology at university.

As mentioned before, there are two types of extraordinary individuals. The first type is like Zhao Hao, who gradually develops and eventually awakens spiritual energy through cultivation.

Let's call them the spiritual sects; they generally have their own methods of spiritual practice.

Another type is like Elena, who suddenly awakens her innate abilities after multiple or accidental encounters with the extraordinary.

Let's call them the "supernatural ability" faction. These people generally can't practice any particular methods unless there's a specific one that's particularly suitable for them.

However, innate special abilities vary from person to person. Just as no two leaves are exactly alike, no two special abilities are exactly the same.

It's practically impossible to find a method that's perfectly suited to you, unless you're some kind of destined protagonist.

These extraordinary individuals with special abilities will find their efforts less effective or even make no progress at all when practicing methods that do not suit them.

Therefore, they all developed their own special abilities on their own, making them self-taught.

Some people with supernatural abilities spend their entire lives simply accumulating spiritual energy, with very little development of their own abilities.

Some people with superpowers, despite having seemingly "useless" or "trash" abilities, have managed to develop astonishing results.

Elena is undoubtedly a smart girl, and what's even more remarkable is that she studied psychology, which is like finding a general guide to her emotional issues. Many theories and knowledge can guide her to develop them in depth.

Moreover, unlike those supernatural abilities with spectacular visual effects that make the whole world aware of their use.

Her ability to influence emotions leaves no trace. Therefore, she can use it without restraint and becomes familiar with it quickly.

Every day, she experiences the different emotions of different people in a school with thousands of students, trying to analyze and influence their emotions and mental states. She's practically a group of free guinea pigs!

So in just two years, she has developed her superpowers very well and accumulated a lot of psionic energy, reaching the level of Black Iron 3.

Zhao Hao always felt that his Thirteen Iron Wedding Gowns might be some kind of dual cultivation technique.

Elena's rapid "leveling up" must be thanks to her diligent watering!

……

Elena just now suddenly noticed a strange "emotional entity" entering the library area.

"Emotional entity" is her term for all beings with emotions, not necessarily people, or even living things.

As long as something possesses feelings and the capacity for thought, it will form an emotional entity within her perception.

This emotional being is extremely indifferent, as if it were a patient with an emotional disorder.

Moreover, he was actually an extraordinary being!

The psychic resurgence continues unabated, and supernatural events are no longer a rarity. While the US government's attempts to cover it up are somewhat weak, they are still finding various excuses.

In places like universities, which gather thousands of young people, the probability of extraordinary events occurring is quite high.
