His Cao family inherited a confidential file from thousands of years ago, which mentioned the existence of a mysterious “407 Research Institute” on the ancient continent. It once hid an earth-shattering secret. He never thought he would actually find it. This wasteland of exile, known as the Old Continent, is where those hunters found this alternate dimension with the same name on the ancient doc*ments in the Evil Cross.

If the records are true, then this place may contain one of the cards from the “Fifty-Two Demon Lord Source Cards.” That is a top-level demon mark widely renowned in epics. It might even be a card that no one has ever seen before. If he really finds it… It is enough to make him soar to the heavens and change not only his Cao family but also the entire continent.

The young man can’t hide his anticipation.

At this moment, the old man sets up a hexagram formation and turns to the young man respectfully, saying, “Young master, everything is ready.”

To ensure nothing goes wrong, the young man confirms personally, “Have the conditions for activating the ‘T-Level Catastrophe Source’ been met?”

The old man responds, “They have been fully met. More than five hundred people have already died in this alternate dimension since the news was spread. The souls sacrificed are more than enough.”

Hearing this, a confident smile appears on the young man’s face, and he says, “Then let’s begin.”

…

Previously, the witch was in a dormant state, and the mental contamination was not too severe. But now, the monster has awakened and is standing at the door. Ji Xun can clearly feel an increasingly intense mental temptation emanating from it.

Furthermore, the thick iron door seems to twist, and a transparent figure slowly materializes. With fair skin and a proud posture, every curve of the graceful body is visible. It was clearly a corpse before, but now it has come back to life.

Witnessing this eerie and bizarre scene, Ji Xun wonders about its method of phasing through walls. “Particle-based phasing or thought-based phasing?” The monster can appear out of thin air; Ji Xun is finally convinced that his temporary teammate hiding in the corner of the wall did not deceive him. This monster will indeed come for him. It can find him no matter where he hides.

As described by the humanoid mechanical arms girl previously, any ordinary person who sees the “Fallen Witch” enter their field of view will be immediately subjected to mental control and remain unaware of the danger until death. This is the formidable aspect of being controlled by a B-Level Catastrophe’s wide range mental influence.

However, at this moment, Ji Xun’s thoughts are still relatively clear, even if his mind is continuously invaded. The potential Enlightenment keeps displaying the phrase “Mental Invasion Immunity.” But as the monster approaches, the words on the Enlightenment start to change to “Affected by Mental Contamination, Confusion +1”. Ji Xun believes that his ability to hold on until now is probably due to his exceptionally high spirit power. If he were an ordinary person, he would have easily lost his sanity.

The witch approaches closer, and the allure becomes more intense. It is not a temptation that can be resisted with conscious seduction alone but a supernatural ability that can stimulate the body’s response. Ji Xun’s face turns red, and his blood surges. The monster seems to enjoy this feeling and does not hesitate to get closer, even sticking its face right beside his bed. A gust of demonic wind blows, and even through a gas mask, a pink fragrance fills the air, giving an extreme sense of pleasure. The revealing and captivating figure is fully exposed to the air and constantly stimulates the visual senses, making it feel like it is within reach, deeply seducing Ji Xun.

“Hiss…” Ji Xun’s gaze has already become somewhat hazy, but he can’t help feeling a chill in his heart. Although reason tells him that death is approaching, his body is honest. In this extreme state of spiritual pleasure, a thought arises within him, willing to die in this indulgence rather than shatter the beautiful dream.

This thought grows stronger until it begins to destroy all reason. This is the terrifying aspect of the Fallen Witch. He cannot even draw his gun, let alone kill the monster. Fortunately, he is not alone.

Ji Xun glances at his calm teammate in the corner and finally breathes a sigh of relief. If she has not been affected until now and the monster has not discovered her, then her strength must be even stronger than what he has seen. Ji Xun’s only job is to obediently act as bait and wait for the witch to transform into its predatory form.

…

Unexpectedly, just as the two of them are about to kill the witch according to plan, an unforeseen change occurs. Without any warning, the entire alternate dimension trembles slightly.

It seems that a mysterious power has awakened, and another Enlightenment appears.

“This is a hidden mainline triggered by the explorers. The level of catastrophe in the alternate dimension has increased: unknown.”

“Current exploration progress: 29.7%.”

“A mysterious power has invaded the entire bunker, causing the catastrophes to mutate violently. The cabin locks have been opened, and they will actively hunt down all humans in the bunker. ‘Survival Mode’ has transformed into ‘Escape and Kill Mode.’ If you want to survive, you need to find the correct exit of the bunker.”

Seeing this, Ji Xun is filled with question marks: “????”

This is different from the plan.
