Nian stared at the monstrous shadow in front of him with dawning horror.
Four… there were four nightmare creatures in this Cycle. Even mid or high level Cycles only yielded one or two nightmare creatures at most, so how could this low-level Cycle have four?! This was utterly ridiculous! How were the players supposed to survive like this?!
In the middle of the atrium, Tang Ye was still howling and demanding the return ticket, and that's how Nian discovered that the newspaper clipping the young man had obtained must have come from the fourth nightmare creature. But the main question was, why would the creature make use of Tang Ye? What did it want to achieve?
All of a sudden, Nian recalled the broken diary entries Jin Jiuchi had read for him, the hatch with a broken handle, as well as the iron door that could not be opened from within…
All the bits and pieces of clues gradually fell into place with a click in his mind, allowing him to see the real truth of this Cycle.
