I am becoming the ultimate demon.

Chapter 54 The Calamity of the Blood Lotus Cult

Just as the warrior was about to draw his sword and attack Ji Lin, Ji Lin had no choice but to use his demonic right hand to kill the man.

[Anomaly +1]

"What kind of anomaly is this manipulating things?"

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Recalling the dream he had just had, he realized that he might have been subjected to a psychological attack.

"But what does this have to do with the Blood Lotus Saint Mother? Could it be that the Blood Lotus Saint Mother is also being controlled?"

If that's the case, wouldn't the real mastermind behind it all be even more terrifying?

He suddenly realized that, without him noticing, he was enveloped in a light purple haze, and a wave of panic washed over him.

Then, jumping up to the top of the rooftop, one could see that the purple smoke almost covered the entire Xiong'an County.

"Damn it, another anomaly at least in the mid-to-late stage. Although I don't know why it's being controlled, it's definitely related to the Blood Lotus Saintess."

"If the entire city is under control, then everything is truly over."

He first went to Yun Cui's room, which was closest to his own, to check on her condition.

If he had gone to see her this late before, she would have heard his footsteps long ago and come out to greet him.

But now, even pushing the door hard doesn't produce any response, which shows that something really has happened.

He slowly pulled back Yun Cui's blanket, only to find her face covered in sweat, a pained expression on her face, and her body struggling with something.

"Oh no, if she wakes up, could she be controlled by something like that person outside?"

Then he checked the situations of his father Ji Chang'an, Liu Qingmei, Huang Yu, Zhang Liang, and others, and they were all consistent.

By this time, he was basically certain that everyone in the city was very likely under the control of that anomaly.

We must find the anomaly and kill it before they wake up.

Otherwise, the entire Xiong'an County would become a ghost town.

But just how powerful would an anomaly capable of controlling the Blood Lotus Mother have to be?

The faint purple smoke made his head spin and made him drowsy, triggering the mutterings in his mind.

"It's a mental attack!!!" He suddenly felt his mind being affected by a subtle mental attack.

The anomaly is that it uses this kind of mental attack to make people fall asleep quickly, and then controls them in their dreams.

Suddenly, the more I thought about it, the more terrified I became. Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, I'm pretty sure it's true.

He was waiting, waiting for that mental attack to reappear, and then using the skill characteristics of [Dragon's Echo], he would follow the momentum to find the source of the attack.

buzzing.

The sudden tinnitus made him realize that the abnormality had launched another mental attack.

By sensing the source of the attack, he quickly determined the general direction.

"Wait a minute!! Isn't that the direction of the old street in the west of the city? Is it that awful place again? I should have known better."

At this point, everything made sense. He guessed that the origin of everything was in the old street in the west of the city, where something unusual had occurred a long time ago.

Someone happened to be passing by, or perhaps the awakened one was there to deal with the anomaly, but unfortunately, that person was controlled instead.

Ultimately, this led to the Blood Lotus Saint Mother manipulating the people to increase her own power.

She also wanted to break free from the control, but there was no way.

While enhancing that abnormality, she also seemed to be consciously improving her own strength.

Finally, they broke through and gained the strength to fight against that abnormal power, but they were destroyed by them.

Recalling the previous incidents involving the altar and the evil dragon, this anomaly is likely related to them as well.

As he walked, he pondered the situation and soon arrived at the old street in the west of the city.

It was discovered that most of the flesh and blood had already been cleared away; one has to admit, the magistrate was quite efficient.

However, the exact location of that anomaly is still uncertain.

We'll just have to wait and see.

"Da, da, da"

Suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded not far away, very mechanical, unlike the footsteps of a human.

"Da da, da, da da"

"Da da da da da..."

"Damn it, there seem to be more and more of them, damn it!!" He saw a dense crowd walking towards him.

"Have these people already woken up? Or were they all asleep and then hypnotized?"

He remained still, waiting for the mental attack to occur. If he could resolve the anomaly quickly, they might be able to wake up.

This is just what he hoped for.

But cruel reality didn't give him that chance.

After waiting for a while, the mental attack still did not recur.

So he jumped onto the roof to feel the howling wind and snow and the desolate chill of the waning moon.

To his surprise, these people also had good jumping ability and kept jumping in his direction.

He noticed that several of them were his own servants, so he hesitated for a moment.

buzzing.

The mental attack struck again, entering his mind.

Then, it launched a weak mental attack in retaliation, and quickly locked onto a stone tablet behind the Lao Jun Temple in that direction.

He quickly transformed his legs into magic, leaped with all his might, and instantly shook off the puppets, arriving at the back of the Lao Jun Temple.

[System detected moderately strange behavior]

[The Mysterious Dreamweaver]

[Level: Medium-level resentment]

[The modus operandi of the murder: Manipulating targets within a certain range in a dream world, then selecting the most powerful target to become a substitute through mutual devouring.]

Ji Lin was slightly taken aback. The system could detect it, but he couldn't see where it was?

Is it a ghost realm? No, it's only moderately eerie, or perhaps that's just its characteristic.

No wonder the Blood Lotus Saint Mother was displayed as a Devious One in the system, while the warrior was displayed as a Strange Servant.

It turns out that the Blood Lotus Mother was the most powerful target selected by this strange entity to become its substitute and help it improve itself.

For some unknown reason, the Blood Lotus Mother converted most of her energy into herself, or perhaps she didn't have time to convert it into this strange entity.

This caused the Blood Lotus Mother to break through first and finally break free from its control.

Now that the Blood Lotus Mother has escaped and is dead, it must seek a new target.

"Damn it, this thing is really insidious."

The strange entity seemed to be threatened, so it withdrew most of its consciousness, and the manipulated crowd suddenly collapsed to the ground.

It focused all its attention on Ji Lin, launching a full-scale mental attack to assault his consciousness.

Suddenly, a dazzling blue light shot out, causing Ji Lin's whole body to convulse, and he crashed heavily to the ground.

Even though the special passive skill [Echoes of Dragon's Might] can withstand most of the impact, the mental shock still feels extremely intense.

He felt like his head was about to explode, his brain was being churned up, and he felt like he was living a life worse than death.

So he decided to only demonize the head and activate the skill [Boiled Blood].

[Spirit: 120/200]

"As expected of a mid-to-late stage of the Weird, even with enhanced mental strength, I still felt a powerful impact."

"But it's a bit better now. If we hold on a little longer, it will have a special passive effect called [Echoes of Dragon's Might], which will also cause it a lot of mental damage."

"At that time, it will also be worn down and die from its own mental strain..."
