Zhou Kai opened the door when he heard the voice.

When the door opened wide, there was a blinding white light outside. Nothing could be seen, let alone a person. Meanwhile, a very strong force was sucking Zhou Kai outward.

At the same time, the silent little boy suddenly became malevolent. His mouth was full of sharp teeth, and he bit viciously Zhou Kai’s shoulder.

Pain spread from his shoulder all over his body. This pain seemed to carry a paralyzing effect, thus rendering Zhou Kai unable to resist. Then, he felt his body get sucked out by the door and felt as giddy as though he was floating in the void. Even breathing became difficult.

Vaguely, Zhou Kai saw the house he had been in earlier. It was floating in endless white light and it looked dilapidated and dark. The little boy looked at him with an evil grin as he stood by the door and waved his hand with pride.

Ding-Dong: An evil thought attacked you. Clear Mind +1.

Ding-Dong: An evil thought attacked you. Clear Mind +1.

Ding-Dong: An evil thought attacked you. You’ve learned a new supernatural power called Courageous Steel Mind.

Ding-Dong: Information regarding your supernatural power has been sent. Please accept it.

Four continuous sounds were heard. A moment later, Zhou Kai felt his heart cooling. The suffocating feeling instantly vanished. Then, the image in front of him froze and shattered just like glass, falling apart inch by inch. Afterward, he once again saw the ugly little boy, who seemed to think that Zhou Kai was dead, laughing proudly.

As he laughed, the ugly little boy’s smile froze.

Zhou Kai, who was opposite him, was also laughing and blinking his eyes.

The little boy was speechless.

“Thank you very much. Without you, I wouldn’t have known that the support of Big Boss ‘Ding-Dong’ could be a supernatural power!” Zhou Kai spoke with an excited tone that could not be concealed.

The little boy didn’t understand but knew that his attack had once again failed.

This was simply unimaginable.

How could a human who had fallen into his trap break free from his illusion magic again and again?

“However, I still cannot tolerate the existence of something like you in the world.” While he said that, Zhou Kai stormed over.

With a malevolent expression, the little boy turned his figure and ran toward the door.

Before he could reach the door, the little boy suddenly paused and turned to Zhou Kai. His originally resentful eyes revealed confusion and fear.

Zhou Kai didn’t chase after him. He instead stopped and put his legs on something.

It was a Rubik’s Cube that looked intact. However, Zhou Kai could see that it was burned and deformed.

While keeping his foot on the Rubik’s cube, Zhou Kai looked at the little boy and the power of Exorcism slowly condensed on the bottom of his foot.

“No!”

The little boy shouted in panic and pounced over.

Slap!

Zhou Kai used his strength to unleash the Exorcism power and shatter the Rubik’s cube.

The little boy who was pouncing over suddenly vanished.

Then, Zhou Kai clearly noticed a pervasive evil power slowly dissipating. This power, which belonged to the little boy, escaped when he was annihilated.

Now that he had personally annihilated a strange anomaly, Zhou Kai’s heart was filled with excitement.

How long had it been? Had two days even gone by?

However, he had transformed from an ordinary person who would suffer a beating if he faced more than three opponents to a person who could annihilate anomalies.

All this had happened thanks to Big Boss ‘Ding-Dong’.

Every time it echoed, it was like heavenly music helping Zhou Kai turn from ordinary to extraordinary.

Another thing that Zhou Kai was excited about was the appearance of the supernatural power.

The Courageous Steel Mind was a supernatural power of the mind. The detailed introduction from Big Boss ‘Ding-Dong’ had allowed Zhou Kai to understand the Courageous Steel Mind more thoroughly.

However, speaking of that supernatural power, Zhou Kai was left somewhat speechless by it.

As the Clear Mind was upgraded, there were actually three kinds of supernatural power of the mind he could choose from: the Ambitious Steel Mind, the Courageous Steel Mind, and the Vicious Steel Mind.

These three types were all basic supernatural powers of the mind, and each one represented a choice.

This choice was determined by his state.

If Zhou Kai was thoughtful and ambitious, the first kind would be triggered. If he was selfish and ruthless, the third kind would be triggered.

However, Zhou Kai had recklessly entered this world and gained some abilities by encountering evil spirits, so he feared nothing and barged in everywhere. Wasn’t he like a black bear? He was hot-headed indeed.

Zhou Kai was unsatisfied with this kind of judgment.

He was a little arrogant, but he was definitely not reckless. His ability to exterminate the evil thought of a little boy reflected his detailed observation.

He had seen the little boy playing with the Rubik’s cube and had later seen a Rubik’s cube among his toys in the illusion. The two of them were almost the same, which clearly showed that there was something wrong.

Zhou Kai’s choice was indeed right. That Rubik’s cube was the evil thought’s vector. When he broke the Rubik’s cube, the evil thought destroyed itself.

However, Big Boss ‘Ding-Dong’ completely ignored Zhou Kai and seemed disdainful to do anything except prompt him that he had obtained an ability.

Zhou Kai was only whining. It was remarkable enough to be able to obtain a supernatural power, yet he was being picky. If this spread, he would be drowned by other people’s criticism.

As he mulled over this supernatural power happily in his heart, Zhou Kai felt more and more confident about his future.

The Courageous Steel Mind was a supernatural power of the mind and a passive ability. If he were to face another illusion again, Zhou Kai would have it better than many cultivators.

As far as the illusion that was akin to hell for cultivators was concerned, Zhou Kai, who had the Courageous Steel Mind, had only one thing to say about it: Don’t be terrified, just do it.

Meow!

Suddenly, he heard a sharp cat’s voice and a shadow rushed over from the door.

Zhou Kai felt frightened and subconsciously wanted to hit it. Suddenly, his expression changed and he reached out to hug the shadow.

As he lowered his head to have a look at it, Zhou Kai realized that it was a cat. A black-and-yellow fat cat.

At the same time, Zhou Kai saw the gemstone pendant around its neck.

“Little Leopard Cat?” Zhou Kai shouted as he widened his eyes.

Wow!

The fat cat looked at Zhou Kai with its big eyes and a hasty expression.

Zhou Kai’s expression changed slightly as he asked, “Do you want to go out?”

The fat cat quickly nodded.

Zhou Kai said nothing else and turned to leave the room.

When he stepped on that pathway, the light suddenly vanished and was replaced by darkness. It seemed as if the pathway had disappeared.

However, a pathway was still a pathway in Zhou Kai’s opinion. It was just that there was another person on it.

This actually couldn’t be considered a person.

It was wearing a white dress, long hair covered its face, and its hands were hanging down. It didn’t make a sound or a move.

At first glance, it was like Sadako. Then again, it looked like many professional female ghosts in horror movies.

When the fat cat saw the woman in the white dress, its pupils dilated, all the hair on its body started to stand, and it seemed as if its spine had also straightened. It was ready to attack at any time, and its body had become very stiff.

However, Zhou Kai curled his lips upon seeing it.

Is this an anomaly? Bullsh*t. So what if it is an anomaly that can destroy the world? Big Boss ‘Ding-Dong’ is protecting me. Doing anything to me is akin to helping me.

The Courageous Steel Mind had been the right choice.

Upon seeing the anomaly, Zhou Kai instantly boasted and roared with laughter. He actually walked over and daringly reached out to push aside the long hair of the woman in the white dress under the gaze of the fat cat.

He had seen many horror movies with female spirits with disheveled hair but he’d never known what they looked like, so Zhou Kai had been thinking about it.

Now that he’d met one, he had to take a look at it and see whether it looked ugly or beautiful. After all, its hair covered its face.

When he brushed away its hair, he first saw a small mouth with a very nice shape that was as red as fresh blood. Then, he saw a white face and a fine nose before slowly discovering a…
