It's the being from yesterday who nearly drove the entire Ninth Investigation Squad to mental breakdown, forcing them to prematurely exit the horror game world!!!
It's that long-robed youth who seemed to treat the Scavenger as a pet during the Quiet Moment!!
Who could have imagined he would appear here at this very moment.
Could he be the ghost behind these Eyeless Eyes?
Indeed, once an existence of such magnitude is observed, it's bound to bring unimaginable changes and unleash terrifying storms of bloodshed.
What's happening right now might very well be his doing—
Even though separated by screens, by thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and even with his eyes covered by that pale white cloth, everyone still felt as if he was sitting right across from them, those profound eyes hidden behind the white band silently watching them.
As if undergoing some kind of judgment, many people trembled and lowered their gazes, unable to bear the invisible pressure weighing on their hearts.
[Writer] looked at them from afar, at these people living in similar landscapes, and softly greeted, "Gentlemen, are you well?"
Those who read his lips to understand his meaning wore complex, ever-changing expressions.
Strangely, they didn't perceive this as mocking ridicule, but rather as a gentle elder's greeting.
That scholarly, refined aura he carried—if truly placed in the Republican Era, anyone present would likely have respectfully addressed him as 'Sir'.
But now, facing this existence wearing human skin, having such thoughts felt utterly absurd.
Too, too terrifying—
Is this some kind of mental control or something?
Everyone's internal alarms instantly reached their highest alert level.
As for the first round of attack, despite their mental preparation beforehand, seeing their once-proud power still unable to shake that blood-red pillar of light made their hearts grow even heavier.
Song Shengwan naturally also saw [Writer]'s presence in the channel. As a high-level player who had entered the horror game world multiple times and experienced countless powerful instances, she had seen many things.
But she had never encountered an existence like [Writer], who seemed completely out of place with the entire world.
Those bizarre and powerful ghosts and monsters all existed to display their own power, their attitude toward humans violent and cruel, completely emotionless monsters without any trace of compassion.
That [Writer] could remain so composed in such circumstances was enough to glimpse the terror of his power and potential rank.
The entire ghost domain's residential area manifesting in reality could already generate energy judged as [Death God Level]. What if a [Death God Level] ghost that could freely come and go were added to that?
An existence that had already undergone qualitative transformation?
This was far more terrifying than the materialization of a horror game instance—utterly unpredictable and impossible to defend against.
Song Shengwan's face paled slightly, but her temperament tempered over many years quickly stabilized her mind. If the sky fell, there would be taller people to hold it up.
Her eyes flashed with determination and ruthlessness. The only thing she could do now was exert all her efforts to launch the remaining two rounds of attacks. No matter what, she had to buy more time.
To become the overall commander of Maple City's Fifth District [Tianji] branch, Song Shengwan was naturally many times stronger than ordinary people.
The string of white bracelets on her wrist were powerful ghost artifacts she had brought out from game instances.
Now they began to slowly writhe like living creatures, tightly binding her wrist and feeding on her vital energy.
This was one of the costs required to obtain such power.
The combat personnel around her who had entered instances and accumulated certain power gathered by her side.
Before them, a bizarre-looking machine that resembled a fusion of steel and flesh slowly revealed its complete form. At its top were seven white dots in disarrayed positions, connected tightly by dark red patterns.
Below it were five energy conversion devices, each supported by deep blue reactors containing enormous energy, forming a ring that could endlessly cycle and convert energy.
Then, using the power of Song Shengwan and the others, it simulated similar bizarre energy fluctuations.
This was humanity using its own technology to create powerful ghost power in another form, creating their own 'Gui God' to confront the ghosts and monsters from the horror game world—
The second round of attack, launch!!
With the command given, humanity's 'ghost power' continuously poured into the so-called 'Gui God' mimetic pulse weapon.
[Morning Star] began operating, tentacles extending from the irregular white dots, gradually overlapping with the dark red patterns.
Another powerful ghostly aura emerged in the real world.
A terrifying distorted shadow flickered faintly above the humans, the surrounding air instantly turning cold and dreadful, making people feel as if they had been transported into the horror game world in an instant.
As if sensing the threat, a large portion of the densely packed black beetles withdrew from the formation constituting the Eyeless Eyes.
The black beetles rapidly combined into a black giant, tall as an eight-story building. The Eyeless Eyes on their shells continuously trembled—anyone with trypophobia would likely find it utterly nauseating.
"ROAR—"
The two forces violently collided, stirring up an enormous storm. That corrupt, bizarre power made people's spines chill and stomachs churn slightly.
What happened?
Did the attack work?
Countless people anxiously wondered about this question—
