After the curator disappeared, the sculpture transformed into his likeness, as if it had devoured him.

　　The sculpture displayed the old curator's twisted face, filled with extreme agony. One could only imagine the horrifying sight he witnessed before his death.

　　"The curator was targeted by the sculpture before being killed," Fatty concluded after his analysis, the bronze face at the window easily reminding him of these events.

　　That eerie sculpture was the origin of this series of supernatural events.

　　"Besides those three, have there been any other disappearances?" Jiang Cheng asked, looking at the projection on the wall.

　　Huai Yi flipped through the printed documents in his hand. "The information doesn't mention any others for now, so there probably haven't been any. This supernatural event was identified very quickly after it occurred and was contained before it could cause further harm."

　　"Moreover, there are no signs of it spreading. The supernatural event is concentrated within this folk museum."

　　"But for safety's sake, the people near the museum have been evacuated, so our actions won't be disturbed," Huai Yi said. He had compiled the information meticulously, as this was a matter of life and death, and no one dared to rush in carelessly.

　　"This is the assessment of this supernatural event." Huai Yi clicked the remote, and the image on the wall changed.

　　"Code name: Fengcheng Museum Half-Body Statue Incident."

　　"Supernatural Event Level: C."

　　"Threat Level: ☆"

　　"A threat level of one star. Doesn't sound too troublesome," Fatty said, his complexion improving, his voice gaining confidence.

　　With Jiang Cheng's approval, Huai Yi explained the difference between the supernatural event level and the threat level to Fatty and Lin Wan'er. "The supernatural event level represents how difficult it is to resolve the matter, while the threat level is more about the threat to the world as a whole."

　　"Because this supernatural event was discovered early, and only three victims have been confirmed, it was contained before it could cause greater harm. But that doesn't mean it will be easy to solve," Huai Yi said seriously. "Those are two different things."

　　"Continue," Lin Wan'er said from the sofa.

　　Jiang Cheng had Huai Yi prepare three supernatural events to compare them and choose one that suited them to solve.

　　The form of the Nightmare Assault (噩梦惊袭) was changing, invading the real world in a bizarre way. The barrier between the two was gradually breaking down, which was not good news.

　　Jiang Cheng wasn't interested in feats like saving the world. The only things that motivated him were Lin Wan'er and the Wu (无) lurking within him.

　　Nothing could reveal the workings of the Nightmare world better than personally resolving supernatural events. He wanted to find a way out for Lin Wan'er and himself.

　　Scarlet, the Night Watchman, the middle-aged man behind Xia Meng, and the supernatural website... he had a vague feeling that this was a storm, and he was unknowingly at its center.

　　"Doctor," Fatty said, looking at Jiang Cheng with concern. "Are you alright?"

　　Jiang Cheng's complexion was unusually poor, as if his body had been hollowed out.

　　"I'm fine. Continue," Jiang Cheng said, looking up at Huai Yi. The latter immediately opened the next supernatural event he had prepared, and the image on the wall changed again.

　　This time, the photos were very clear. It was a huge lake surrounded by beautiful scenery, with distant mountains hidden in the mist and lush trees nearby.

　　But strangely, staring at the lake in the photos, everyone suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of dread.

　　"This is the second supernatural event," Huai Yi said in a low voice. "The Lake Kosner Ghost Ship Incident."

　　"The supernatural event level is also C, but the threat level is rated as three stars."

　　"That high?" Fatty asked, surprised.

　　"Yeah." Huai Yi didn't waste time and began introducing the event, gesturing towards the wall. "The incident began half a year ago with an accident. A tourist boat full of passengers capsized in the lake and sank. The accident happened suddenly, and there were no survivors."

　　"Look at this photo," Huai Yi continued. "It was taken by chance about half a month after the incident. The person who took it was a forest ranger in the nearby mountains."

　　The photo was blurry, obviously taken at night from a high angle.

　　There was no moon that night, only faint starlight. A huge ship was sailing on the dark lake, without a single light on board.

　　"That sunken ship?"

　　"Exactly." Huai Yi adjusted the remote and said, turning his head, "The photo has been compared and confirmed to be the sunken tourist boat."

　　A ship that had already sunk resurfaced in the middle of the night, sailing on a dark lake... it all had an inexplicable and eerie feel.

　　"There's one more thing. After the tourist boat sank, regulations required it to be salvaged to recover the bodies of the victims and investigate the cause of the accident. But strangely, when the search and rescue team went underwater, they couldn't find the ship," Huai Yi said, his expression odd. "The ship had disappeared."

　　"Not only was the ship gone, but the bodies of the victims had disappeared as well."

　　It really was a supernatural event. Otherwise, how could such a large ship disappear without a trace?

　　This was a lake, not the sea.

　　"According to the information, a team has already mysteriously disappeared after contacting the ghost ship. They left behind a video before they disappeared."

　　The video was very shaky. After watching for a dozen seconds, Jiang Cheng and the others could see that it was a speedboat sailing on a dark body of water. Not counting the person filming the video, there were two people sitting at the bow of the boat.

　　They were all wearing the same black clothing, something like diving suits worn for diving, with leggings tied around their calves and a sheathed dagger hanging from them.

　　Rain was falling from the sky, and the water conditions were poor. Dark waves repeatedly crashed against the speedboat, and the dark water gave the viewers a strong sense of oppression.

　　It seemed like something unknown was hidden beneath the deep water.

　　"It's appearing, it's appearing!" a voice said in the video, a low male voice mixed with the sound of wind and waves, making it difficult to hear clearly.

　　Then the video turned, and about twenty or thirty meters away, a huge object was quietly sailing on the lake.

　　The huge black shadow looked like it had sailed out from another world.

　　It was the missing tourist boat!

　　A bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, revealing a horrifying sight. The ship's rails, the cockpit, and even the portholes were all filled with people!

　　These people had pale skin, were soaked to the bone, and water was dripping from their clothes.

　　But even more eerie were their faces.

　　They were all smiling, their smiles stiff and uniform, as if they had been carved from the same mold.

　　At the same time, a strange sound came from the recording.

　　It was a chilling, bizarre laughter mixed with a sound like a woman wailing at a grave.

　　The two sounds were mixed together, making it indescribably strange, as if someone was standing next to you laughing and crying at the same time, and the sound was within reach.
