I'll report this to the government and send all the main characters to jail.

Chapter 208 Panic Spreads, The Invisible Enemy!

Su Chen's will was withdrawn from the room filled with the aura of death and fear, and returned to the core of the Earth.

In his mental space, the dream captured from the remaining fragments of Luo Feng's soul was being repeatedly played and analyzed.

"Your dream is delicious."

"Your fears are the finest delicacy."

"We're more interested in your dream."

"The next target is the most 'delicious' soul on Earth—the Earth's will, Su Chen."

Every word he uttered carried a condescending, mocking malice.

This is not just a murder, but a declaration of war.

A declaration of war from a civilization lurking in the shadows, a civilization that feeds on the spirit.

"The Nightmare..."

Su Chen's will whispered, and a chilling killing intent permeated the entire space of his will.

Meanwhile, the Tiangong space station was in complete chaos.

"Lockdown! Lockdown of all areas! No one is allowed to leave their post!"

Wang Hai's voice was hoarse with excitement. He stared intently at the report sent back by the medical officer, each word like a heavy hammer blow to his heart.

"Complete disappearance of vital signs, over 98% dehydration of body tissues, zero cell activity... This... this is a mummy!"

"Commander Luo Feng was drinking with me last night, how could he have changed so much overnight!"

A young team member looked at the photo of Luo Feng's corpse on the holographic screen in front of him, and his stomach churned, almost making him vomit.

"Shut up!" Wang Hai roared.

"This is not for us to discuss! Execute the orders!"

Fear, like an invisible virus, spread rapidly in the confined environment of the space station.

Who is Luo Feng?

A peak SS-class powerhouse, a formidable figure who can withstand the main guns of a warship while wearing specially made power armor, is the guardian deity in everyone's heart.

But he died silently in his own room, without any alarm or signs of struggle.

This kind of death is even more terrifying than being torn to pieces by the enemy.

Because it is unknown, it cannot be defended against.

The message was quickly transmitted back to the Earth Alliance command center using the highest level of encryption.

Lin Xue, Zhao Gang, Shen Mo, and others arrived at the highest conference room overnight.

When Luo Feng's autopsy report and on-site investigation images were projected onto the center of the conference table, the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop several degrees.

"That's impossible!"

Zhao Gang slammed his fist on the table, his face showing a mixture of anger and confusion for the first time.

"I personally oversaw the deployment of the space station's defense system; not even a mosquito can get in!"

"Luo Feng's room had top-level security. How did he die? Who was the murderer? Why were there no traces at all?"

Shen Mo pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses looking extremely serious.

He pulled up all the energy monitoring data around Luo Feng's room and analyzed it over and over again.

"There were no energy fluctuations, no traces of spatial jumps, and no dark matter reactions... From a physical point of view, nothing entered Luo Feng's room last night."

"You mean, Luo Feng became like this on his own? By committing suicide?"

"A high-ranking official next to me asked absurdly."

"No," Shen Mo shook his head:

"I'm just saying that our surveillance methods are ineffective against this type of attack. It's an attack we've never seen before, one that transcends our current understanding of physics."

"What utter nonsense about 'beyond comprehension'! I think there's a mole inside!"

Another senior executive stood up excitedly.

"Someone must have poisoned him! A super toxin we can't detect!"

The conference room suddenly became noisy, and panic and suspicion began to fester among the high-ranking members of the Earth Alliance.

Everyone was looking at the people around them, their eyes filled with suspicion.

If even a powerful figure like Luo Feng can be killed silently, what about these people?

Am I next? Could my partner be an enemy in disguise?

"Quiet down, everyone." Lin Xue spoke, her voice not loud, but it calmed everyone down.

Her face was also pale, but her eyes remained calm.

She looked up at the ceiling, as if conversing with something: "Advisor, what's your opinion?"

Su Chen's will descended upon the conference room, and the soft light and shadow calmed the restless hearts of everyone somewhat.

"This is neither a physical attack nor a poison."

Su Chen's voice resounded directly in everyone's minds:

"The enemy comes from a dimension we have never encountered before; they use the mind and dreams as weapons."

"Luo Feng was drained of all his life force and soul while he was asleep."

spirit?

A dream?

Everyone present, including Shen Mo, was stunned.

This answer chilled them to the bone more than any guess.

No matter how powerful a physical enemy may be, there is always a way to fight it.

But how do you defend against enemies in your dreams?

Does this mean no one will sleep anymore?

"I have blocked the news. The Tiangong space station has temporarily entered a state of first-level combat readiness, and is publicly stating that it is conducting an emergency exercise."

Su Chen continued, "This matter must not be leaked until a solution is found, otherwise it will cause global panic."

Everyone nodded silently; they all understood this principle.

""prophet"."

Su Chen's will shifted to the other side.

"My lord, I am here."

The "Prophet" core, used as a supercomputer, lit up on another screen in the conference room.

"From this moment on, use all your computing power to monitor the brainwave activity of all A-level and above awakened individuals worldwide 24/7."

"Report any unusual signs of mental intrusion to me immediately."

"Yes, my lord. But... this method of intrusion is almost entirely without warning; by the time the brainwaves start to fluctuate violently, it's often too late."

The "prophet" gave a pessimistic answer.

Su Chen was aware of this, but it was the only preventative measure he could take at the moment.

"Liu Yiyi".

Su Chen's will shifted to another place.

On the highest floor of the Institute of Life Sciences, Liu Yiyi, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened them.

Before her, the image of Su Chen's will appeared.

"I sensed it; a very filthy and evil spiritual remnant."

Liu Yiyi frowned: "I sent people to the space station to check on the other soldiers who had contact with Luo Feng. Some of them are in a very unstable mental state, as if they have been planted with the seeds of fear."

"I tried to purify it with my power, and it worked, but... it consumed a lot of energy. That pollution seemed to be alive; it resisted."

This is another piece of bad news.

Monitoring is ineffective, while purification is extremely costly.

This enemy, known as the "Nightmare," is like an invisible ghost, hovering above everyone's heads.

In the following days, a somber atmosphere pervaded the entire Earth Federation's high command.

Two A-level Awakened individuals suffered mental breakdowns in their sleep. Although they did not die directly like Luo Feng, they were turned into drooling idiots.

The panic intensified further on a small scale.

Just when everyone was at a loss, an unexpected person contacted Su Chen.

Ye Chen.

This victim from another planet's "past life" has kept a very low profile since arriving on Earth.

Aside from providing some key intelligence, they hardly participate in any federal decision-making.

But this time, when Su Chen's will appeared before him, Ye Chen's expression turned extremely ugly.

Even my body was trembling slightly; it was a deep, unforgettable fear that came from the depths of my soul.

"It's them...it's them coming..."

Ye Chen's voice was dry and hoarse, as if it had been sanded.

"Do you know the 'Nightmare'?" Su Chen's will asked directly.

"Know them? They're more than just acquaintances!"

Ye Chen gave a bitter laugh, his eyes bloodshot:

"Before the 'Prophet's' fleet arrived on my homeworld, my civilization... was utterly corrupted from within by these 'Nightmare' beings!"

This news struck Su Chen like a thunderbolt.

"They started one by one, targeting the heroes, leaders, and scientists of our civilization."

Ye Chen was plunged into painful memories: "They twisted their beliefs in their dreams, amplifying their desires and fears. Soon, suspicion, betrayal, internal strife... spread like a plague."

"By the time we realized what was happening, the entire social order had completely collapsed, everyone was attacking each other, and civilization... crumbled on its own."

"Then, the 'Prophet's' fleet appeared and easily reaped everything."

Su Chen understood instantly.

These "Nightmare Beings" are likely "cleaners" or "vanguard" of some powerful civilization!

They are specifically designed to dismantle a civilization from within, paving the way for subsequent physical conquest!

"They are not invincible."

Ye Chen took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and revealed a crucial piece of information:

"They have something they fear, or rather, something they both desperately crave and utterly dread—the pure, untainted 'origin of the world.' For example... the Seed of the World."

Ye Chen's gaze was fixed on Su Chen's will and shadow.

Su Chen fell silent.

Everything is connected.

Luo Feng's death was not random.

The statement "The next target is the will of the Earth" was not simply a provocation.

From the very beginning, the target of these "Nightmare-monsters" was not Earth's civilization, but themselves.

Or rather, it is that world seed that has completely merged with him and become a part of him...

He is no longer merely the guardian of Earth, but has become a deadly lure that attracts wolves and tigers from all over the universe.

会议 室

When Su Chen revealed the information Ye Chen had brought, everyone gasped in shock.

The way Zhao Gang and the others looked at Su Chen was filled with awe, but also a hint of worry.

They finally realized what a terrifying enemy they were facing.

"Now is not the time to panic." Su Chen's voice broke the silence:

"Now that they know I'm their target, things are actually simpler. If they want to eat me, they'll have to break their teeth first."

Su Chen's gaze swept over everyone present, finally landing on Liu Yiyi.

"Liu Yiyi, your strength is key. We need to establish an effective defense mechanism."
