Nightmare Assault

He looked from left to right and scanned the people before him. Jiang Cheng’s eyes narrowed when he saw the last woman. The woman looked young and was dressed young too. She had on a beige top and a green dress. She exuded grace with a little naughtiness. She had barely any make-up on. She looked like someone who had just graduated from school. Youthfulness lingered on her face. The woman was very silent. Her eyes radiated the illusion of weakness and naivete.

Yes… An illusion. This was because Jiang Cheng could sense the hostility deep within her eyes. It almost pierced him. Jiang Cheng didn’t expect to encounter a familiar face.

Chen Xiaomeng… It was the innocent-looking high-school student from the first mission.

After a brief meeting of the eyes, they both moved away subtly. Due to the new arrival, the atmosphere became interesting. For a moment, no one spoke as they observed quietly.

“It looks like we’re quite lucky.” A graceful man around 40 smiled. His voice was convincing and kind. “Everyone is very calm. We don’t have any newbies this time. This should be easier.”

When Jiang Cheng entered the booth, he had already noticed this man. He was handsome and well-dressed. With a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, he stood out. He held his forehead and laughed sadly. He said that he was paired with four newbies in his last mission. When the mission started, the two of them started to fight since they were unable to accept the truth. They fought so hard that it attracted the police and almost deviated from the plot.

“Will the police… show up in the missions?” It was a woman who spoke. She acted very casually. She was very normal-looking. She looked around 35. She had wrinkles around her eyes.

The man seemed to read the woman’s mind. He smiled, “Even though they were police, they did not intervene with our plot. If anything, they offered valuable aid.”

Hearing that, the light in the woman’s eyes dimmed. It looked like… getting the police’s help to clear the mission was impossible.

“I arrived around ten minutes ago,” A fat man with bushy hair answered. When everyone turned to him, his voice lowered. “I pushed open the door, and here I was.”

“By here, you mean…”

“This booth.” He pressed his lips and pointed to the footprints on the table. He said embarrassedly. “I walked out the door and ended up standing on the table.”

Jiang Cheng tutted. He couldn’t help but be reminded of his Fatty at home. Did the Nightmare Realm have some deals with fatties? How else could he explain the spawning locations of the fatties being so premium every time? For the last mission, Fatty spawned on the coffee shop table, facing the school. In contrast, Jiang Cheng spawned in the toilet.

“What about the rest of you?” Jiang Cheng turned to the rest. There were a variety of answeres. Some spawned in the kitchen, beside a boiling pot. Someone spawned in the bed of the inn.

“Brother,” The fatty with the bushy hair reacted and said with a grin, “Only you spawned in the toilet.”

Jiang Cheng leaned back against the back of the chair. “It’s fine.” Then, he continued in a suspicious tone, “Didn’t you spawn on the table?”

Bushy Hair looked at him with clear confusion.

“A large friend of mine also spawned on top of a table in the last mission,” Fatty glanced at him.

Bushy Hair hesitated. “And?”

“Never mind.” Jiang Cheng became serious. “The mission is more important. I need to go back to visit him on the seventh day of his death when his soul is supposed to return.”

Bushy Hair Fatty, “???”

Even though the elegant man tried to bring the topic back, Bushy Hair Fatty was affected. Based on what Elegant Man said, they were currently in a town called An Ping. The town was small. Even in this era, it was considered backwards. The inn they were in was the only inn in town. It had three floors. They were on the first floor, where the inn-operated restaurant was located. The second and third floors were bedrooms. After that, he explained where he got the information. He hadn’t left the inn. He garnered the information from the inn customers and the boss.

“It looks like this is the venue of our mission,” Chen Xiaomeng appeared collected, very different from when she was on the first mission.

A condescending chuckle echoed. It was followed by a seductive voice, “Do you wish to die? How can you conclude that based on the current situation?”

Jiang Cheng followed the voice. A voluptuous woman leaned against her chair. Charm flowed through her eyes. She was like a snake.

Chen Xiaomeng was about to retort.

“Stop arguing.” Elegant man frowned.

No wonder the man said his last mission was affected due to the disharmony within his group. He was hinting at these two women. Based on the smell of firepowder, they probably had been at it before Jiang Cheng arrived.

“The situation is unclear. It doesn’t help to fight among ourselves,” Elegant Man advised. He played the role of the leader like Fan Li did in the first mission. However, his leadership skills were clearly better than Fan Li’s.

After he spoke up, the woman and Chen Xiaomeng quieted down.

This made Jiang Cheng take another look at the man.

“Now, I’ll have to trouble everyone to introduce themselves,” Elegant Man began, “Your occupation, your title, your field of expertise and so on…” He paused before adding, “This is very important.” To be an example, he started by saying, “My name is Zhou Rong. I’m the vice president of Thousand City Organisation. I’m very good at data analysis.” He didn’t give the others the chance to say no. He looked at the person beside him.

It was a middle-aged man with a thin and weak body. He was in official attire. However, his small eyes couldn’t hide his fatigue. He withered under Zhou Rong’s gaze and answered quickly, “I’m Jiang Zhongyi. I… I am an intern priest. I’m good at…”
