Chapter 1 A Minute Later

A minute later, in the central control room.

An operator sitting in front of a computer suddenly turned around and shouted to Freddy, "Boss! Come and look!"

Freddy and the players all looked over, hearing the voice. They saw… in the monitoring screen in front of the staff member, appeared a burly, one-eyed monster.

"He came out of the underground storage room…" The staff member immediately added.

At this moment, V1-Ares in the picture seemed to know the probe was filming him, and he smirked at the camera. Then, he raised an arm, made a "handgun" gesture, and then pretended to "shoot" at the camera.

The moment he finished that gesture, all the monitoring screens in the central control room turned black…

"What's going on?" Freddy immediately shouted loudly.

The entire central control room was silent. No one could answer him, and no one dared to answer him.

As employees of Spooky Electric Company, the monsters present all knew very well… when the boss showed this expression and tone, it was best not to interrupt…

"How could he come out of the storage room alone? Where is Domu?" Freddy then asked, "Quickly call Domu! You bunch of good-for-nothings!"

"Uh… Boss," another staff member replied tremblingly, "We lost contact with her two minutes ago, and the two who were with her also…"

"Son of a…" Freddy didn't even finish saying the word "bitch."

Feng Bujue interrupted, "You should be grateful… at the cost of only three people, you roughly grasped the opponent's strength and basic personality."

"Then I should really thank God…" Freddy turned his face, glared at Jue-ge with a ferocious expression, and said fiercely.

"No need." Feng Bujue turned around, gave his teammates a "follow me" gesture, and left Freddy with a sentence, "You just need to thank us."

"Where are you going?" Freddy asked.

"Find him." Feng Bujue said without looking back, "Kill him."

"Hey! Hey!" Freddy shouted, "This is my territory, and the other party killed my people. Even if you want to deal with it…"

"If you want to help, I suggest you take advantage of the fact that the broadcasting system hasn't been destroyed by him yet, and start evacuating your employees to avoid further losses." Feng Bujue interrupted the other party again, "Then, you gather some elite personnel and join us in the battle…" He paused, turning his head, "Note, I said elite, and their combat ability must not be weaker than Domu, otherwise it's just suicide."

After Jue-ge finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the central control room door. His expression and tone revealed a convincing aura; he was calm, methodical, and confident. If your family was kidnapped while traveling overseas, you would definitely need someone like Feng Bujue. He would solve your problem more efficiently than the local official forces.

Buzz buzz buzz…

The sound of the closing rune activating announced that the players had all left the room.

Freddy stood in place, silent for about ten seconds.

Then, as if he had made some kind of determination, he turned his head and said to a staff member, "Turn on the broadcast and evacuate everyone in the company. Make up a reason, now!"

"Yes… yes! Boss," the other party replied.

The next second, Freddy had already started walking, and said loudly as he walked, "Clear the entire building within ten minutes, and then seal all entrances and exits. You guys… after I go out, seal the opening rune here from the inside, stick to your posts, and wait for my orders."

"Yes!" The others responded in unison.

As he spoke, Freddy had already walked out of the central control room, and suddenly accelerated…

He was like a red phantom, instantly passing through several corridors, and arriving at a dead end where no monitoring probes were installed.

On the wall here, there was an invisible rune that could only be seen if a similar mark was engraved on one's skin.

And Freddy… could see it.

He looked around, confirming that no one was nearby and that he wasn't being followed, before reaching out and muttering a spell.

Two seconds later, a silent door of light opened. Freddy quickly walked in and closed the door.

"Hmph… I really didn't expect…" Freddy entered an empty, narrow, dark room, and muttered to himself, "...that our Monster Kingdom's 'Ghoul Eight Great Generals' would have a day to reappear in the world…"

Saying that, he opened his arms and chanted a dark incantation.

As his voice grew louder and louder, the entire space lit up. On the surrounding walls… gradually emerged eight abstract symbols with a rather cartoonish style.

"I, 'Ultimate Nightmare,' Freddy Krueger, summon you here! My allies! My partners! Respond to my call…" Freddy said loudly in a speech-like tone…

"'Undying Murderer' - Jason!"

"'Terror Demon Ancestor' - Michael Myers!"

"'Leatherface Devil' - Thomas Hewitt!"

"'Black Howl' - Aliens X!"

"'Mutation Third Type' - The Thing!"

"'Cosmic Hunter' - Elder Predator!"

"'King of Evil Spirits' - Sadako!"

Lines full of chuuni (a Japanese term for someone exhibiting delusions of grandeur) were uttered from Freddy's mouth one after another, and each time he said a sentence, a mark on the wall would light up.

Before long… faces that made people shudder appeared on the wall…

…………

On the other side, in the passage leading to the bottom of the company.

"This is a very confident, expressive, impulsive Derivative." Feng Bujue led the way, talking non-stop, "It's lucky for us that we didn't encounter a calm type…" He licked his lips, "Hmm… according to my speculation, he's the type who thinks he's invincible and disdains using any tricks…"

"Uh… Brother Feng." Greed Wolf, who was behind him, had been holding back a question all along, but couldn't wait for Jue-ge to stop talking. He couldn't help but interrupt at this moment and asked, "Can you stop for a moment? I have something I want to ask you."

"What?" Feng Bujue responded casually.

"Where are you taking us?" Greed Wolf asked.

"Underground storage room." Feng Bujue replied.

"That's what I find strange…" Greed Wolf continued, "Why do you know the way?"

He had a reason for asking this question, because the architectural structure of this Spooky Electric Company was very complex, strange, and extremely large… They had been led all the way to the central control room by the security guards earlier, but they hadn't figured out the route along the way.

However, the Feng Bujue in front of them was leading the way with ease…

"I observed the various monitoring screens in the central control room and learned the general structure of the entire building." Feng Bujue replied calmly, "I also built a model in my mind…." He paused, "So… don't worry, I won't go the wrong way."

"Hey… is this guy serious…" Greed Wolf thought to himself, "No wonder this kid is on our 'Ninth Division's' list of key targets… This is simply beyond the scope of normal humans!"

"Wait!" At this moment, Xiao Tan, who was walking in the middle of the group, suddenly spoke, stopping everyone.

Feng Bujue stopped immediately, turning his head and saying in a deep voice, "What?" With his and Xiao Tan's tacit understanding, he could tell from the tone alone that the other party wasn't joking.

So, everyone stopped… and waited for Xiao Tan's speech.

Who knew, Wang Tanzhi's next sentence would be: "My left hand hurts a bit."

"Big brother…" Weary Dream still rolled his eyes, stepped forward and patted Xiao Tan on the shoulder and said, "You're also a top fifty player in the Peak of Zenith, it's one thing to squat in the corner of the haunted house… but now you're making such a fuss because your hand hurts…"

Chi Ying—

A sharp sound interrupted Weary Dream's words.

In a flash of lightning, a sudden change occurred!

But see…
