Su Gao looked battered, but she didn’t seem to have any actual injuries.

The fact that she showed no surprise at standing here perfectly fine proved her Dao heart was steady.

It seemed the illusion from earlier hadn’t affected her much.

In that case, the reason she had been swaying on her feet was likely because she was standing too close when he shouted.

It couldn’t be helped. This wasn’t a video game where you could just turn off friendly fire.

Further away, Brother Inhuman wasn’t looking too good either.

Three of his four limbs were riddled with wounds, and even the single spiral eye on his head was oozing blood.

He was huddled in a corner, looking utterly deflated.

Now that the illusion was broken, their surroundings had reverted to the interior of the Tower. He had nowhere left to run.

”Who exactly are you?”Severely wounded, the guy finally stopped playing the silent expert.

Surprisingly, unlike his monstrous appearance, his voice was entirely normal. He sounded just like an ordinary middle-aged man.

Who am I?

Why do villains always love asking this?

Fu Qian scoffed and shot Su Gao a look.

”Tell him who I am.”

...

Su Gao stared blankly for a good while before she finally reacted.

”Mr. Fu is a Night Watchers Special Operations Consultant.”

After struggling to recall the title, she spoke, her tone like a student reciting from a textbook.

”Expert Rank.”

Excellent and comprehensive. She hit all the key points.

Fu Qian looked on in admiration, like a teacher praising the top student who always had the perfect answer.

”Do you understand now?”

He turned back to the stunned Brother Inhuman.

Unfortunately, this answer seemed a bit beyond Brother Inhuman’s comprehension. He just stood there in a daze, not saying a word.

Smack!

Fu Qian twitched his finger, sending another sharp claw flying.

Brother Inhuman let out another grunt of pain.

”You play dumb quite well, but it’s a pity you don’t understand the weight of the words ’Expert Rank’.”

Fu Qian looked at Brother Inhuman, whose final limb hadn’t been spared either. That latest sneak attack had come from directly overhead.

The guy was still extremely cunning. He was playing the fool on the surface while secretly waiting for a chance to strike.

Moreover, after seeing his previous methods, an ordinary person could easily mistake the Blood Hand and the Wall-Piercing Claws as abilities that relied on the illusion to function.

Now that the illusion was broken, it was all too easy to let one’s guard down.

It was undoubtedly a psychological blind spot, and he had exploited it perfectly.

In reality, his connection with this Tower was far deeper than one might imagine. Even now, he could launch an ambush through the walls at any moment.

”Who exactly are you?!”

This time, Brother Inhuman’s voice finally lost its composure.

”We already covered that question. Next.”

Fu Qian didn’t bother Classmate Su Gao again.

”All of you... go to hell!”

Having failed his ambush, Brother Inhuman let out a roar of humiliated rage, seemingly coming to a decision.

Hmm...

Amidst the roaring, Fu Qian nodded thoughtfully.

In his experience, this usually meant the boss was about to enter phase two.

Sure enough, with a roar that sounded like he was voiding his bowels, Brother Inhuman’s already hunched body flattened entirely against the ground, his joints and limbs twisting violently.

At the same time, a figure flashed through the air, and a gleaming blade chopped straight toward his head.

Sensing the danger, driven by her combat instincts, Su Gao had attacked.

However, her blade only made it halfway before several sharp whistles tore through the air. Gray shadows pierced toward her from all directions.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Amidst a continuous barrage of metal striking metal, Su Gao narrowly deflected the ambush and was forced to retreat.

This...

When she looked back, Brother Inhuman in the corner had completely transformed.

Barely resembling a human anymore, his withered torso had sprouted a dense thicket of sharp claws.

The cloth strips had fallen from his sweet-potato-shaped head, revealing a face devoid of normal features. Instead, it was covered in over a dozen spiral eyes.

At first glance, he looked just like a giant spider.

Thwack!

The next moment, the spider’s long legs abruptly extended, stabbing toward Su Gao with lightning speed.

Simultaneously, two more long claws jutted out silently from the walls, catching her in a pincer attack.

He clearly knew which of his two opponents was weaker. He was trying to take one out in a surprise attack to avoid fighting a two-on-one battle.

Unfortunately for him, Su Gao’s reactions were incredibly fast. Moving like the wind, she twisted and dodged.

After evading the dense flurry of fatal strikes, she didn’t hesitate for a second before jumping behind Fu Qian.

That’s more like it. A child worthy of teaching!

Leave professional matters to the professionals.

Fu Qian stepped forward. Looking at the giant spider now clinging to the ceiling and the countless sharp claws flailing in the air, he rolled his shoulders.

The next moment, countless black and red tentacles erupted from his body, blotting out everything.

”You want to compare who has more hands?”

Tendril Barrage

It’s been a while since I’ve used this move.

The instant Fu Qian launched his attack, Brother Inhuman seemed to sense the danger, engaging in rapid flip-flopping like a madman.

After transforming, his agility had apparently increased drastically.

Too bad that against this kind of full-screen attack, he quickly realized that some things in life could only be faced head-on.

Ultimately, he stopped in his tracks, firing off all the claws around his body to meet the tidal wave of tentacles.

The scene was as tragic and heroic as a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

And as facts proved, he really was just a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Although his mutated claws were as tough as solid metal, under the endless bombardment of tentacles, the delightful sound of snapping echoed endlessly through the air.

In less than a second, Brother Spider entirely lost the ability to parry. His body was blasted to pieces and plastered across the wall.

”Is he dead?”

Witnessing this, Su Gao breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to step up and deliver a finishing blow.

”Wait.”

Fu Qian held out a hand to stop her, frowning at the wreckage on the wall.

The next moment, the severed limbs and pus-filled blood slowly seeped into the wall, leaving not a single trace behind.

It was still an illusion?

Fu Qian suddenly felt a stir in his heart and turned to look outside the Tower.

The moonlight still flowed like water, shining over the boundless surface of The Lake.

But immediately after, the reflection of the full moon in the water began to move, slowly rising from the depths.

And along with its movement, the mirror-smooth surface of the water actually began to flip.

Even as the surface of The Lake formed an exaggerated angle with the Tower, the process remained utterly silent.

This sight gave one the distinct impression that it wasn’t The Lake moving, but rather the Tower itself turning upside down.

When everything finally returned to stillness, the original moon was now beneath their feet.

More accurately, the endless night sky had entirely shifted beneath their feet.

Meanwhile, the smooth, rippleless surface of The Lake hung quietly upside down above their heads, along with the moon’s reflection.

”What a rare sight!”

Fu Qian looked down at the boundless night sky. The sensation was truly bizarre, like something out of a dream.

The next moment, however, he sensed something off. Beside him, Su Gao seemed a little strange.

He turned to look, finding her staring intently outside at the inverted world.

Is she scared? She can’t be that timid, right?

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Gao stiffly pull out an object, clutching it tightly in her palm.

With a quick glance, Fu Qian could see it clearly.

It was a Six-Sided Die made of white bone, faintly stained with blood.
