It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

"Love me." The man's voice repeated in her ears, turning into an endless nightmare.

She knelt on the ground covered with broken roses, laughing madly.

But now the rose garden has long since withered and turned to ashes.

A ray of red light peeled off from the woman's body and slowly came to Xiao Huai's hand.

[Congratulations on successfully collecting the highest level of lust energy. You only need the desire to survive and the desire for revenge to complete the main quest.]

But when Xiao Huai saw the prompt, he was not happy.

Is the main quest really that easy to complete?

He didn't know what would happen after he collected all these desires.

There are only three days left until the so-called Hungry Ghost Realm Festival.

"Are you thinking about the celebration, or about that mission?"

When Lu Yuanshi's voice reached his ears, Xiao Huai was startled and subconsciously raised his head.

"Am I obvious?"

Why can Lu Yuanshi always guess what's on his mind?

No matter which world Lu Yuanshi is from.

You can guess it.

"Because you're frowning."

Lu Yuanshi tilted his head slightly and reached out to gently smooth his brows.

The touch of the fingertips was refreshing, and Xiao Huai's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if someone had seen into his most secret emotions.

"So, I was right?" Lu Yuanshi withdrew his hand, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Huai's gaze fell on the maple forest in the distance. The breeze blew past, casting mottled shadows on the leaves.

"I'm thinking of someone." His voice was low and calm, making it hard to understand.

After hearing this, Lu Yuanshi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who?"

Xiao Huai turned his head, his eyes met his, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

"you."

Xiao Huai's voice was low and steady. He spoke slowly, as if he was not only speaking to Lu Yuan, but also confiding in fate:

"I miss you."

Thinking of our countless reunions.

Thinking about you in this world, or——

You in every world.

The wind blew, and the maple leaves fluttered like blood, dyeing the sky red.

There wasn't much ups and downs in his tone, but it contained a certain obsession that transcended time and space.

The bond that is destined to be connected cannot be severed even if it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

Lu Yuanshi was slightly shocked, as if struck by some unspeakable force.

His eyes reflected Xiao Huai's red eyes, which merged with the maple leaves dancing in the sky.

The world seemed to be burning for him.

The maple leaves are spinning and falling from the sky like a silent rain of fire, bringing a hot yet lonely beauty in the interweaving of light and shadow.

The bright red color was like a raging fire, reflecting on Xiao Huai's body.

Lu Yuanshi returned to the original question. Even if Xiao Huai was worried about the celebration and the mission, he didn't need to be afraid.

"There's nothing truly terrifying here. After all, you've already seen the scariest things."

Xiao Huai raised his eyebrows and asked, "You're the one you want to talk about, right?"

Lu Yuanshi's tone was a little teasing: "From your tone, why don't you think it's me?"

Xiao Huai still smiled, as if saying something that was a matter of course:

"The hungry ghosts are afraid of you."

Only Xiao Huai was not afraid of him.

·Office·

Louis flipped through the documents in his hand and saw a lot of news reported in the past few days.

Those who remain fall into eternal sleep.

slumber.

His golden eyes gleamed with excitement, "You really didn't disappoint me."

This is where the dead go.

A place where countless foolish, angry and greedy thoughts converge.

The door was pushed open and a gust of cold wind blew in, causing the documents on the table to sway slightly.

The person who came in was a tall man with casually draped black hair and dark eyes with a lazy look, as if nothing in the world could arouse his interest.

He leaned against the door frame, glanced around casually, and muttered softly, "Hello."

As he spoke, shark-shaped sharp teeth were faintly visible.

Louis leaned against the desk, a playful smile on his face. "Your Majesty, what brings you here in person?"

The man frowned slightly and raised his eyes lazily: "Don't call me monarch."

Louis raised his eyebrows, his smile undiminished: "What's wrong, Yan Ming, isn't this a bad name?"

Yan Ming walked to the sofa nonchalantly, and as if he was too lazy to stand, he lay down.

"It sounds like a hell of a good thing."

He raised a cold smile, with some unfathomable meaning in it, "If that person only needs to collect two more desires, the mission will be completed. Aren't you looking forward to it?"

His tone sounded casual, his voice low but clear enough to penetrate the room. "Will this lead to his downfall, or will it transform him?"

Louis continued flipping through the documents, seemingly unconcerned. "Who knows? Anyway, I don't think he can complete the real mission."

Yan Ming closed his eyes, his tone still lazy: "Who are we waiting for here?"

Louis paused, put away the documents on the table, walked slowly to the sofa, and sat next to Yan Ming.

"Why do you suddenly want to ask this question?"

Yan Ming slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on Louis's golden eyes, his voice revealing a subtle emotion:

"I always feel like I've forgotten something very important."

Louis raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his eyes a little distracted: "Really?"

Yan Ming tilted his head back, staring at the ceiling, as if in a daze.

"The Hungry Ghost Realm has reopened, but only one player has arrived. That player is called Xiao Huai. Who could he be?"

Louis recalled the memory of his first meeting with Xiao Huai, "I could only sense the power of a mortal in him. He was just a mortal."

"Mortal?" Yan Ming's eyes fell on Louis. "Is he really... a mortal?"

He stood up, a meaningful smile on his face: "Okay, now it's time for me to play the tyrant."

The smile on Yan Ming's face became even more sinister.

No matter what, once you step into the Hungry Ghost Realm, don't think about leaving easily.

"Special Mission in the Hungry Ghost Realm: Overthrow the tyrant's rule. Time limit: one month. Failure to complete the special mission will result in a penalty."

Xiao Huai woke up from his dream. He looked down at his palm and his left hand seemed to be trembling slightly, which he himself could hardly control.

Those desires seemed to have seeped into his blood, entangled and torn at him. There was even a moment when those obsessions seemed to have become his obsession, and twisted desires began to quietly grow in his heart.

When he raised his head, a chilling shadow shone from the depths of his red eyes, like some kind of terrifying aura on the verge of getting out of control.

The bedroom door was pushed open, and Xiao Huai looked at Lu Yuanshi standing at the door.

The two of them just looked at each other, and Lu Yuanshi's gaze moved to his palm.

Tomorrow is the celebration, and Xiao Huai will have already collected the highest level of desire to survive.

The price of survival is losing the meaning of living.

When he creates nightmares, isn't that also another form of being forced into nightmares?
