In most prisons, the criminals who had done sothing wrong would be kept in a dark room to repent on their deeds. Normally, the room was so tiny that even the flow of air was obstructed. Ti felt extraordinarily long in the darkness, and most of the ti, the criminals would go insane in the confined darkness.
Similarly, in the East Guardian Tower, the criminals who stirred up troubles would be kept in a cell under a strong curse, known as the Nightmare Cell.
The Nightmare Cell would make the criminal drowsy, and they would experience nightmares after falling asleep. The person would be trapped in the nightmares, and when they woke up, they would realize that they were still in a deep nightmare. Their ntal state would suffer greatly. It was the punishnt given by the East Guardian Tower to the criminals who tried to cause trouble. Even these devilish criminals had sothing that they were scared of deep inside their hearts. The Nightmare Cell would dig out their deepest secrets and use them in their dreams. No one would want to experience it a second ti!
Mochizuki Chihaya was sure that if her brother did kill the three guards, he would definitely be locked in the Nightmare Cell. She would be able to learn the truth by heading there.
Mo Fan had no choice but to risk his life for the beautiful woman, considering what he had done to her.
As they continued along the narrow path, Mo Fan did not see a single cell or a door throughout the walk. The tower felt incredibly strange to him.
“Are there people guarding the Nightmare Cell?” asked Mo Fan.
“Why do you think I asked you to co with ?” said Mochizuki Chihaya.
“Damn, you want to handle the guards?” Mo Fan’s expression darkened.
“Don’t worry, the guards are easy for you. Besides, your Shadow Elent is perfect in this tower,” said Mochizuki Chihaya.
Mo Fan was left with no choice. He began to wonder if Mochizuki Chihaya already knew he had snuck into her room, and had purposely shown him her naked body, just to drag him into this ss.
Candles on both sides dimly lit up the path. The light projected their two suspicious shadows on the walls.
Their steps were already extrely light, yet it felt like the sound of their footsteps was echoing far away.
The path ahead ended with a spiral staircase, obviously leading them to the lower floors.
The place gradually turned more spacious as they ventured further. Mo Fan and Mochizuki Chihaya were hiding behind a corner. Mochizuki Chihaya slowly poked her head out and observed the hall ahead.
The hall was like the shape of a vase. Currently, Mo Fan and Mochizuki Chihaya were at the narrow spot at the mouth of the vase. Four n in indigo-blue outfits were standing in positions at the other end. From their auras, they were most likely Interdiate Magicians.
“Criminals in the East Guardian Tower have lost their ability to fight due to the magic formations. Therefore, Interdiate Magicians are more than capable of keeping an eye on them,” whispered Mochizuki Chihaya to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan inspected the positions of the four guards and said to her, “I can deal with three of them, but you’ll need to take out the last one.”
“Not a problem, I’ll deal with the one standing the furthest away.”

The only sources of light in the hall were the dim candles along the walls. The people in charge of the tower were obviously not confident in the security provided by technology. There was basically no electronic equipnt in the tower.
However, such an antique environnt provided Mo Fan with an advantage. The Fleeing Shadow was perfect in a dimly lit environnt. He could easily move wherever he wanted...
Mo Fan turned into a shadow and approached the three guards along the ceiling, watching them carefully. He took his ti approaching, just in case there was a Light Magician among them.
Light Magicians were specifically sensitive to moving shadows. They would easily detect his presence from a hundred ters away. Mo Fan was trying to probe their reactions at that range, to see if they had the urge to look at the ceiling.
According to Mochizuki Chihaya, Mo Fan had to subdue the guards in an instant. Each of them had a certain device. If they pressed the button on the device three tis at a certain rate, it would imdiately send a signal to the people outside. As such, Mo Fan was feeling quite nervous.
Mo Fan slowly moved forward when he was a hundred ters away from the guards.
-Damn, how unlucky am I?-, Mo Fan cursed inside, seeing the guard in the middle suddenly lift his gaze and look in his direction.
Mo Fan did not dare to move, shrouded by the darkness. He did not even dare to move his gaze around.
“Yamaji, what are you looking at?” asked a guard in a rather slack tone.
“Sohow, it feels like the presence of the darkness is a bit stronger,” replied the guard called Yamaji.
“The whole tower is placed under a formation of darkness. It’s common for its energy to pulsate at tis. Stop trying to scare yourself just because so people were killed tonight. The person who caused the ss is having a pleasant dream in the cell behind us!” said the first guard.
“I still think we should take a look,” said Yamaji.
“Is it because one of the candles died?” said the slacking guard, pointing at one of the candles.
“Oh, that must be it.”
“HAHAHA, I was nervous like you when I was first assigned here, stop trying to scare yourself. Hang on... another candle just died!”
“Let check... another one died again, sothing isn’t right!”
The four guards were startled when they discovered that a few of the candles on the walls had gone out.
As they stepped forward to take a closer look into the darkness, six eerie flickers ca from the ceiling, and six shadowy thorns silently dashed forward and nailed the shadows of three of the guards precisely.
The first spike sealed off their movent, and the second spike sealed off their minds!
Mo Fan’s move was precise and clean. He made his move as soon as the guards were distracted, sealing off their movents and their thoughts. Not only were they unable to move, they had no chance to cast a spell too!
“Ambush!” The guard who was the furthest away was alerted. He shrieked and imdiately took out his alarm device.
He was just about to press the button when a gray-blue demon branch sprang out from the wall and snatched the device away from him before he could press the button a second ti!
The guard yelled, but the demon branch was extrely fast. It quickly wrapped around the guard’s legs, waist, and covered his mouth.
The guard was cocooned in just a few seconds, although its size was nothing like the one that had trapped Mo Fan in the duel. However, it still subdued the guard. He could not even move a single finger.
