“Stop. You don’t want to know what’s out there!”

Just as Bai Han walked out of the waiting hall and reached the street, at least 20 to 30 people appeared in front of him and blocked his way.

“Didn’t you see their banners?”

“I understand that you are incredibly powerful and that we cannot prevent you from pursuing the truth. However, I urge you to consider whether the woman you hold in your arms is genuinely acting in your best interests or has ulterior motives,” expressed the individual in front of Bai Han.

Bai Han gently laid Lin Xiaoli, who had lost consciousness, beside him. He responded, “I cannot say for sure whether she has any ulterior motives, but I do know one thing. We have gone through many challenges together on the train and in the waiting hall. At least she used her most potent skill to assist me.”

He continued, “You and your comrades are constantly trying to stop me. Ironically, the more you obstruct me, the more determined I become.”

With that, Bai Han drew the Abyss Blade and Void Staff from his hands. He had even acquired Lin Xiaoli’s ability to tame beasts. After scanning the area, he realized that most of the nearby creatures had higher levels than him. Nevertheless, in his perspective, the level was no longer a crucial factor.

Lin Xiaoli gradually regained consciousness and upon seeing the numerous figures before her, she jolted awake and stood up.

“Bai Han! You can’t take them on. These people, they’re insane!” she exclaimed.

“What are you talking about? Would a lunatic even try to reason with me?” Bai Han countered.

Yet, the system had already passed its judgment on the individual standing before them at that moment.

[Name: Li Yaodong]

[Class: Psychologist]

[Level: 19]

[Health Points: 800]

[Attack Power: One hit kill!]

[Special Skill 1: If a conversation with this person lasts for more than three minutes, they will be trapped in Silent Hill. If the conversation continues for more than one minute or if the person reveals too much information, they will be vulnerable to a fatal blow from the speaker.]

[Special Skill 2: Despite having low HP, if you can withstand the speaker’s mental or conversational attack, you will have the Chaotic Body protecting you. However, you must remain within the Chaotic Body for at least three minutes, or the mental attack will still affect you.]

[Mind Kill: If you let your guard down and willingly share your thoughts with the attacker, they can access your heart and kill you with a single strike.]

If Bai Han had engaged in conversation for more than three minutes or participated in the previous discussion, he would have been dead by now. It was clear that this class was incredibly powerful.

Lin Xiaoli’s repeated warnings about the person in front of them being a lunatic made sense. The key to defeating this opponent was to dismiss everything they said as nonsense and refuse to engage with them.

“Lin Xiaoli, you’re here to ruin my plans again!” the psychologist exclaimed.

“Li Yaodong, get out of the way if you know what’s good for you. I don’t want anything to do with you anymore. I’m only doing this to save my sister. I want her to return before things get worse,” Lin Xiaoli replied.

“Your sister isn’t coming back. I’m here to stop you today!” the opponent declared. Dozens of Chaotic Bodies appeared around them. They all looked identical, making it impossible to distinguish one from another.

Bai Han tried to attack the Chaotic Bodies with his weapon, but it was ineffective. They seemed immune to his attacks, or perhaps they were simply illusory.

“Don’t worry. Since I have defeated him once, I can do it again. I can do it ten times!” Lin Xiaoli reassured Bai Han. She activated her Iron Guards once again.

In an instant, all the Chaotic Bodies disappeared, leaving only the Chaotic Body and two Iron Soldiers standing.

“Take this!” Bai Han attacked with an evil scythe, shattering the Chaotic Body into pieces.

“Ah!”

Li Yaodong, who had previously escaped from Lin Xiaoli’s attack, was now lying on the ground, clutching his chest in pain.

Lin Xiaoli had attempted to break his Chaotic Body Array before, but her lack of attack power allowed Li Yaodong to escape. This time, with the two of them working together, Li Yaodong had little hope of getting away.

Bai Han approached him with a poisoned dagger in hand, ready to deliver the final blow. He slowly lifted Li Yaodong’s head and declared his unstoppable power, “I want you to experience the true meaning of death. No one can stand in my way.”

“Arghhh!!!”

[Psychologist Li Yaodong has been killed! EXP +6520. Killed someone above your level. Obtained double EXP!]

Clang!

Thanks to his high luck value, countless pieces of equipment dropped again! Even though Butcher and the Firearm Master didn’t drop much equipment after their deaths, Bai Han realized that for every three high-level, Hero-level, or Boss-level units that were killed, there would be valuable equipment that dropped after the boss was downed.

Aside from the usual golden fruits, he also discovered many unexpected new items.

[Subduing Magic Staff: This staff deals 50% additional damage to non-human units when using magic attacks. It is lightweight and portable, with the same casting time as the attack time before casting.]

[Magic Pendant (Offensive) x20: Each Magic Pendant has a different effect. Attack-type Pendants cause 2% more damage with each normal attack, with a tearing effect. Each attack consumes one pendant.]

[True Damage Energy x800: This energy is directly added to the magic energy and deducted first for true damage. Each attack or skill released will cause a certain amount of true damage. Once the energy is depleted, the true damage will disappear.]

The equipment, items, and bonus effects from this attack appeared to be different from previous attacks and resulted in increased damage. True damage could ignore all magic immunity and magic damage, making it incredibly powerful for a priest.

Even with low attack power and damage, this bonus could still be fatal to the opponent.

Upon inspecting their new equipment and items, they exited the waiting hall and were welcomed by the view of what seemed to be a very comfortable city.
