Chapter 306: A Guess Confird
At this mont, the Nightmare demon, as if driven mad, was wildly attacking .
For so reason, I always felt that the existence of a Nightmare demon was like a powder keg, exploding at the slightest touch.
I had only teased her a few tis.
However, after a few rounds of fighting, I discovered that the Nightmare demon's most threatening attack against was actually close-quarters combat.
The combination of her ability to traverse between the dream and reality, coupled with close-range attacks that were almost impossible to react to and defend against, severely tested my movent and positioning.
Moreover, I only had a stronger physique.
I hadn't systematically learned any skills related to close combat or physical arts.
I could only rely on my combat instincts.
However, the other party was also very wary of my spell firepower coverage.
I was starting to like this environnt.
The effect of the spells was magnified many tis compared to the main world.
This was true firepower suppression!
Furthermore, facing my endless stream of techniques—floating evocation spells, explosion traps, and even summoning spells—the Nightmare demon was suppressed to the point where she could only fight against those City Guards in reality.
When the long spears in the hands of those City Guards pierced the Nightmare demon's body, they finally realized that this monster they feared could also be injured by them!
I had to admit that this Nightmare demon was more difficult to deal with than most of the opponents I had encountered before.
It wasn't that the other party was very strong, but that her thods were too difficult to counter.
In gaming terms, it was probably a case of chanics being greater than combat power, right?
If I were the Nightmare demon, with this ability to travel between reality and the dream state, I could definitely play more tricks than this Nightmare demon.
And in this prolonged battle of attrition, this Nightmare demon also revealed a weakness: her frequent traversal between the dream and reality also consud a lot of her energy.
Regardless of whether the other party was consuming stamina, energy, or sothing else, the fact that she was becoming more and more lethargic was visible to the naked eye.
"Damn it... damn it, damn it! Why is it like this? A group of small fries and a little witch can actually push to this point!"
The Nightmare demon let out an unwilling roar at this mont, her previously aggressive posture turning conservative.
It seed she was preparing to flee.
"You can't escape!"
I followed closely behind.
The Nightmare demon flapped her conjured wings, preparing to escape the battle from high above.
Although I couldn't fly, my spells could hit flying targets.
"Haha! I admit that you are a bit difficult to deal with when you join forces, but so what? This city is still a place where I can co and go as I please!"
I watched as the spells passed through the other party's body without causing any damage.
At this height, I couldn't reach her either, so I subconsciously looked at Big Sis Bai.
But on second thought, Big Sis Bai also couldn't attack the Nightmare demon who was currently in reality.
A feeling of regret filled my heart.
After all, letting this guy run away like this was letting her off too easily.
And just as I was feeling regretful, a roar that resounded through the entire street rang out.
The next mont, the Nightmare demon's body lost its balance in mid-air as if it had been cut off, and a spray of blood blood from the Nightmare demon's chest.
"A firearm?"
I looked at what had happened in this instant with shock, sowhat in disbelief.
"Reinforcents! Reinforcents have arrived, quick! Catch that monster!"
Ninglan Qiuyu also reacted quickly at this mont and headed towards the figure falling from the sky.
I didn't hesitate either.
Although I was a bit shocked that this world still had firearms, any thod that could stop the other party was a good thod.
"Don't move! Monster, you are under arrest!"
"Arrest?"
The Nightmare demon struggled to get up from the ground weakly at this mont, her tone filled with mockery, as if she couldn't believe that she would be captured by these natives.
"Impossible! You will never catch !"
"Restraint. Then... how about this?"
I also walked over at this mont.
Seeing that these City Guards had no way to deal with this Nightmare demon, I cast a Restraint spell on her.
"You!"
"Your life force is really tenacious," I sighed, my gaze falling on the hole in the other party's chest.
Her chest had been pierced, yet she was still alive.
Or was her chest not her fatal weakness?
"By the way, is this your Type III Extraordinary Killer?"
I turned my head and asked Ninglan Qiuyu at this mont.
"Yes, I can't disclose the rest of the information... This monster is really powerful. This one shot only left a penetrating wound on her body. Logically, this one shot should have been enough to blow a mutated beast to pieces."
"I see... but I still suggest you kill her. You might not be able to control this monster," I shook my head and said.
After all, a Nightmare demon was a Nightmare demon, not sothing an ordinary person could subdue.
And at this mont, I also understood the limitations of being human.
This Nightmare demon was just one type of abyssal demon.
Were there other, even more difficult-to-deal-with existences in the entire void?
"This..."
Ninglan Qiuyu also hesitated at this mont.
He had finally captured this monster, so he naturally hoped to get so useful information from her, and even bring her to the City Lord for personal judgnt and interrogation.
But he also knew very well that if it weren't for the assistance of this outsider in front of him, it would be impossible for him to do these things.
So he had to consider the opinions she put forward.
"Don't you two want to know sothing from her?"
"That depends on whether she is willing to talk."
My gaze fell on the wretched Nightmare demon at this mont.
The heavy injury from that one shot had already left her with little ability to resist.
And... my Restraint spell also couldn't stop her from going from the dream to reality.
Although this repeated jumping back and forth looked wretched, it did cause us no small amount of trouble.
"How about we seal off this area and interrogate her on the spot?"
I suggested.
"Mm, thank you for your understanding. This... Nightmare demon, her thods are strange, so may I ask the two of you to cooperate with us in the interrogation? The two of you shouldn't have much experience in interrogation, right? We can teach you in this aspect."
"Interrogation? You guys want to interrogate ?"
At this mont, the Nightmare demon struggled to mock them.
"Why not? Still being stubborn. All the trouble you've caused for our Ninglan New City, and all the City Guards you've killed, I will get it all back from you for them!"
At this mont, Ninglan Qiuyu seed to be venting all his anger on the other party.
And it was the first ti I had seen such an interrogation scene.
To be honest, it wasn't as... stunning as I had imagined?
Instead, it was a bit simple and unadorned.
When the Nightmare demon struggled to dodge, then it was my punishnt ti.
"You've co to the dream, right?"
I watched as the City Guard's interrogation thods missed, and then walked towards her with a smile.
The whip condensed from fire elents in my hand was radiating intense heat under my control.
This one lash was no joke.
"You! Don't you co over!"
After that ordeal just now, this Nightmare demon finally knew fear.
In reality, those City Guards had professional extraordinary interrogation tools.
But when it ca to , it was the most direct torture.
Especially when the fla whip lashed on her exposed skin, I felt a strange sense of pleasure, especially when it was accompanied by her miserable screams, which were very pleasant to the ear.
I felt like I had awakened a terrible hobby...
In the end, this Nightmare demon was like a broken toy under our torture, only able to babble.
Throughout the process, she didn't beg for rcy even once.
I really admired her stubbornness.
"By the way, is there anything else you want to ask her?"
I turned to look at Ninglan Qiuyu.
They had also asked a lot of questions before, such as why she attacked Ninglan New City, why she targeted outsiders, and how many other Nightmare demons like her there were.
They even asked about their relationship with that Nightmare.
But obviously, the answers she gave did not satisfy Ninglan Qiuyu.
Maybe she really didn't know, but at this mont, this guy undoubtedly had little value left to be squeezed out.
At this mont, it had beco pure torture.
After all, this Nightmare demon had killed many City Guards before, and had also sucked their essence and soul-substance.
This revenge had to be taken.
"Oh, thank you for your help. We were just asking questions just now. Do the two of you have any needs in this regard?"
"Mm, I do have so questions I want to ask," I nodded and said.
"Please go ahead. If there is anything we can cooperate with, please feel free to say," Ninglan Qiuyun also nodded.
He was also very curious what questions these two outsiders would ask.
After all, the two sides were different, and their perspectives on problems were also different.
Perhaps they had also overlooked so problems that they themselves had never thought of.
"Nightmare demon, let ask you, do you know where this is?"
"Ugh... hmph hmph... Ninglan New City... stupid question..."
The Nightmare demon stared at with resentnt at this mont and spat out these words with a snort.
"You know I'm not asking about that. Where is this world?"
I reiterated and asked again.
"The world... hehe... you're actually asking this..."
"Is there a problem?"
I frowned and asked.
I always felt that the expression on this Nightmare demon's face at this mont was as if she was laughing, laughing at my ignorance.
"Here... isn't this... your main world? You don't even recognize the main world you live in? Hahaha... cough cough..."
The Nightmare demon seed to have said sothing funny at this mont and laughed so hard that she was choked by her own saliva or blood.
"This is also the main world?"
Getting this answer finally confird my thoughts, but this answer did not seem to be out of my expectation at all.
"More than a thousand years ago, those transcendent races forcefully broke through the main world and turned everything into ruins. Those guys established transcendent academies in your world... cough cough... and you... are still working for those invaders! Hahaha cough cough hmm... and you still want to beco them! Cough cough... it's killing ! How noble do you think you are? You've even forgotten your ancestors..."
"Mm..."
I resisted the urge to use the Silence spell on her, but if the truth she spoke were to spread back to the main world, and even to other transcendent academies... it might cause a greater shock and even shake the foundation of the existence of the transcendent academies!
Of course, the academy would naturally not allow this kind of statent to spread, but this truth really had a great impact on the people of the main world!
"You... how could you not..."
"Not what? Hate those transcendent academies? Naive..."
My indifferent expression seed to give her the final blow.
The collapse she had expected, or even a little bit of panic, would have made her happy, but she didn't see any change in my emotions.
It wasn't until the other party breathed her last and her body uncontrollably turned into bubbles and dissipated that this was all over... the Nightmare demon had completely died in the dream.
"My apologies, I asked so out-of-line questions. This guy seems to have... committed suicide. You shouldn't have any questions you haven't had ti to ask, right?"
"No..."
Ninglan Qiuyu looked at us with a complicated gaze.
He had also heard the questions just now, but... even he had to take a mont.
Was the amount of information just now a bit too much?
"Phew... I'm sorry, let's leave it at that. If you go back to see the City Lord and ntion us, just say that we need to take a breather. We'll just wander around the city."
I shook my head and said to Ninglan Qiuyun.
Then I walked to Big Sis Bai's side.
From Big Sis Bai's expression at this mont, I could tell that the Nightmare demon's words just now were still a bit too shocking for her.
After all, for anyone to think that their country had been conquered by a foreign enemy a thousand years ago, and the enemy had beco the ruler of the world through a switch, and they were still working for them, as long as they were a normal person in this world, this kind of factual shock would more or less be there.
"Big Sis Bai, let's go."
I took the initiative to hold Big Sis Bai's hand.
Big Sis Bai's hand was a little cold.
I gently squeezed it and shook it.
After a while, Big Sis Bai finally reacted.
"Big Sis Bai, let's go wander around sowhere else first."
"Uh... hmm? Okay."
Bai Yu ca back to her senses at this mont, subconsciously squeezed my hand, and agreed.
"Take care, you two. We will rember your contribution to Ninglan New City."
Seeing that we were about to leave, Ninglan Qiuyun still subconsciously gave us the salute of the City Guard.
I subconsciously looked at them and nodded slightly, which was considered a response.
Then Ninglan Qiuyu began to direct the City Guard to clean up the battlefield.
After all, they still had to restore normal order.
The evacuation of the crowd could not be maintained like this, especially since this was a place with a huge flow of people like the Ninglan Xiang Hotel.
The evacuation of the crowd had caused great trouble for the residents here.
And for such a big event to happen in the city, Ninglan Township Fortress would definitely have to co forward and make a response.
It was foreseeable that the next thing would be even more troubleso, but these things would have to be worried about by that City Lord, Ninglan Qiuyun.
At this mont, I accompanied Big Sis Bai and left the place where the battle had just taken place, avoiding the crowd and the reporters taking pictures with their caras.
After leaving the cordoned-off area, Big Sis Bai was still the sa.
I understood that at this mont, none of this could be rushed.
Only when one had figured out this kind of thing for oneself could one truly walk out of it.
However, the impact of the truth of this fact seed to be too great for Big Sis Bai...
It was greater than I had expected.
Perhaps I just didn't have a sense of belonging to this world and couldn't empathize with it.
Of course, it could also be because of the Earth Vein Chains.
Not having severed the Earth Vein Chains ant that I still had a connection with the original world.
Perhaps I understood why there were many seniors in the Witch Academy who had graduated but had not broken through to the transcendent level and left this world.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this sense of belonging to the world?
As for whether this sense of belonging was the masterpiece of the world consciousness, not wanting its children to escape its control, that might require further understanding.
"Big Sis Bai, are you feeling better?"
