Terror

Su Qingya wanted to say something at this moment, but she felt as if her throat was being choked, unable to make any sound.

She wanted to do something, but she felt as if her body was being fixed in place by time magic, unable to make any movement.

Her gaze couldn’t leave the corpse even half a meter away.

At this moment, she wished more than anything that it was just a dream, that everything would be as it always was when she woke up, her girlfriend sleeping soundly beside her, nothing having happened.

But the corpse was lying peacefully in front of her, as serene as if it were asleep, lying there quietly, like an exquisite doll.

The panic and horror on Su Qingya’s face were impossible to hide.

Negative thoughts kept flooding her brain.

Endless loneliness enveloped her, mixed with violent fear.

She only felt utter chaos.

She shouldn’t have come to this place; if she hadn’t come, wouldn’t she have avoided this?

Why does this world have such strange powers?

How wonderful it would be if everything were peaceful, without any dangers caused by bizarre events, only joyful and harmonious daily life.

Why?

Why do they all target her, all want to hurt her loved ones?

Why does her life always consist of sweet possession followed by heart-wrenching loss?

It’s all because, all because…

The more Su Qingya thought, the more her head ached.

The more she pondered, the more her brain failed to function.

“Su Qingya! Calm down!”

Xiao Ge roared loudly.

The situation was getting worse and worse.

He understood that words alone couldn’t calm a highly berserk Emotion User.

If Leng Xiao were here, she could use her ability to forcefully wake Su Qingya up.

His ability couldn’t do that.

A Wrath Emotion User only had absolute violence.

What exactly happened?

Why was Xu Nian in this state?

And why did she suddenly commit suicide?

He originally thought it was some strange Emotion Beast.

He couldn’t think about much else; what he needed to do now was to wake Su Qingya up.

He took a step forward but saw a bizarre change happening to Su Qingya, who was enveloped in black mist on the stage.

He stopped, unable to move another step.

Had it already begun?

Damn it!

Could it be that even now, he would remain powerless and could only watch his teammate be sacrificed?

The anger that ignited instantly burned in his heart but was enveloped by endless negative emotions after a while.

Perhaps, even now, he was still so useless, unable to do anything.

Even though he was a Four-Star Emotion User, because of his path, all he could do was throw lonely punches, unable to do anything else.

So helpless, so dull, so incompetent.

Perhaps only by being alone could he avoid loss.

Perhaps only by being alone could he avoid getting hurt.

An invisible pressure crushed Xiao Ge, causing him to fall to his knees.

Memories of people and events from the past flashed through his mind.

He reached out his hand, wanting to touch them, but they were like dust exhaled after smoke, impossible to hold, choking him.

A strong sense of loneliness swept up from within, causing him to curl up into a ball.

Su Qingya didn’t notice what was happening below.

Her attention was focused on the corpse.

A buzzing sound came from her brain, and even her hearing became blurred.

She raised her hand, wanting to grab it, but she found that her hand was no longer human.

Perhaps, it was more like a demon.

It was a fox’s claw, with pitch-black fur.

And she felt like something was about to break through her skin, extending from behind.

At her tailbone was a fox’s tail gathered from black gas.

Just like the pair of fox ears burning like black flames on top of her head.

Even her facial features were beginning to change.

Su Qingya didn’t care about any of this; she wanted to do something.

She wanted to resurrect the corpse in front of her.

Even if the resurrected Xu Nian was no longer the Xu Nian she once knew, she still wanted to do it.

The burning black aura gathered on her body seemed to capture Su Qingya’s will and instantly spread out in all directions.

The scarlet stage turned gray and black, rapidly spreading out from where Su Qingya was, instantly robbing the entire theater of all color.

The girl’s corpse stood up like a puppet, completely without strength.

Creaking and creaking, with a strange smile still on her face.

Suddenly, a chime rang out.

The chime was ethereal, like the most beautiful note in the world.

Su Qingya’s heart suddenly became peaceful.

[Fear Value: 91%]

The changes on her body receded rapidly, but what followed was the collapse of the corpse.

As the fear in Su Qingya’s heart decreased, she could no longer achieve what she wanted.

She had failed.

Because the fear in her heart suddenly decreased, she couldn’t do what she wanted to do.

If she couldn’t revive Niannian…

How could this be?

How could they take away even this last possibility from her?!

[Fear Value: 99%]

Su Qingya was trembling all over, her throat making a fox-like roaring hiss.

The fog grew thicker and thicker, even her eyes were being invaded by darkness.

Leng Xiao stepped into the theater and saw this bizarre scene.

Without even having time to think, she immediately rang her Emotion Weapon, trying to suppress everything in front of her.

The peaceful chime made Xiao Ge’s situation much better.

His thoughts became peaceful, and he regained his senses.

“Damn it! It’s that Solitary Emotion Beast! Wasn’t it dead? When!”

Having recovered, Xiao Ge suddenly realized what had happened.

Without needing to be reminded, Leng Xiao continued to ring the Emotion Weapon in her hand.

It was an amplifier of her ability, allowing her to transmit peaceful emotions.

She stared intently at the person on the stage.

She was already doing her best.

But suddenly, Leng Xiao’s pupils dilated.

“It’s not working! Captain! I can’t even calm her down!”

Something must have gone wrong.

She was a Four-Star Tranquility Emotion User; how could she possibly be unable to calm Su Qingya’s heart?

No, it wasn’t that the ability wasn’t working; it seemed to be influenced by something.

A wisp of stray black mist drilled into her nose.

Leng Xiao’s heart was in turmoil.

In the blink of an eye, Su Qingya’s attack had already arrived in front of her.

Like a ghost, she instantly flashed in front of Leng Xiao.

Sharp claws accompanied by black mist tore down from above.

Leng Xiao quickly used the bell in her hand to block.

The bell was very hard, perfectly blocking the attack.

But Su Qingya actually did a half-spin in the air and swung the high-speed rotating chainsaw at Leng Xiao.

She didn’t dare to block and had to kick Su Qingya away.

“Keep using your ability.”

Xiao Ge shouted.

“Yes, Captain.”

“Su Qingya, listen to me, Xu Nian is not dead.”

Under the constant ringing of the bell, Su Qingya was finally able to rationally hear Xiao Ge’s words.

“Niannian is not dead?”

These four words were like a critical hit to Su Qingya at this moment.

Like a ray of hope extending from the endless darkness.

Even in such a high degree of fear, it forcefully pulled her thoughts back.

“That’s right, this is a hallucination created by the Emotion Beast, bringing out the things you care about most and destroying them, thereby generating acute negative emotions and triggering a strong sense of loneliness.

Did you have the thought that it would be better to be alone just now?”

Su Qingya’s whole body shook.

She grasped this key phrase.

With the swaying of the bell, the negative emotions in her heart gradually receded like a tide.

However, she had not had this so-called thought of being alone.

Suddenly, Leng Xiao seemed to be struck by something.

She flew backward, smashing down rows of seats.

“I finally got my way.”

In the shadows, lurked unknown terror.
