In an instant, it clawed at Sun Yan, who swiftly kicked with his legs in place, advancing instead of retreating.

Given Franklin's immense size, rushing outside actually turned advantageous for him.

Restricting him within the room effectively made Franklin's body move inconveniently, making it easier for Sun Yan to deal with this Evil Spirit.

Although his magical artifact couldn't be brought into the dream, it didn't affect Sun Yan from using his trump card.

The latest assistance divine power provided by the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao—Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill.

Upon approaching Franklin, Sun Yan directly struck with a palm, which instantly lit up with a beam of white light.

The moment the white light touched Franklin's body, his chest began to dissolve.

As the assistance divine power of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao, it could even battle against an Evil God, let alone a mere Evil Spirit.

Franklin immediately let out a scream, retreating in horror.

Before Sun Yan could approach to deliver another strike, he suddenly felt a slight sense of weightlessness in his body, and then his eyes instantly opened, waking from the dream.

At this moment, he was still firmly seated in the chair, and everything that had just happened was merely his dream.

But Sun Yan immediately got up and walked towards the children sleeping on the floor of the auditorium.

As expected, three of them were twitching in their bedding, faces tight with tension, clenching their teeth in a sweat-soaked state.

It seemed they were experiencing something terrifying, even their legs stretched straight, with their waists arched upward.

Clearly, normal people could not possibly assume such postures in their sleep.

Sun Yan hurriedly grabbed a girl's arm, pulling her directly out of the bedding.

With external interference, the girl instantly awoke from the dream, her face drenched in cold sweat, pale with fright.

Seeing Sun Yan beside her, without thinking, she fearfully rushed into his arms, trembling all over.

Sun Yan pat her back, comforting, "Don't be afraid, it's all okay now. Tell me what you encountered in the dream."

"That monster, he lifted me over his head, wanting to throw me off a cliff."

Sun Yan nodded, subsequently waking the other two children who exhibited symptoms.

After inquiring about their dreams, Sun Yan murmured to himself thoughtfully, "Everyone's dream is different, but they all featured Franklin's image. This Evil Spirit's ability is far more complex than I imagined."

"Mr. Jackson, Luo An is gone."

At that moment, a child suddenly pointed at a bed and said.

Sun Yan's expression changed, he hurriedly walked over, and upon unfolding the quilt, found it indeed empty.

A child had disappeared!

"Damn it."

Sun Yan quickly took out the Nine Dragon Five Thunder Seal from his backpack and placed it among all the children, instructing, "Before I return, none of you can sleep, got it? If anyone feels drowsy, have someone beside them wake them up, I'll go find Luo An first."

After strict instructions, Sun Yan picked up the Nuo Mask and Golden Halberd of the Mountain-Opening Fierce General, rushing directly out of the auditorium.

...

In the backyard of the auditorium, there was a ceramic fountain, with a three-to-four-year-old boy on top, wings extended.

He was aiming his small spout to release clear water, forming the view of the fountain.

At the moment, beside the fountain, a golden-haired boy with a blank expression was slowly walking forward, getting closer to the fountain, seemingly about to plunge his entire head into it.

As his head approached the water surface by just a few centimeters, a pair of bloody, mangled hands slowly stretched out from beneath the water.

Then, just as they were about to grab the boy's head, a hand forcefully pressed onto the boy's shoulder from behind, pulling him back.

The bloody, mangled hands immediately vanished, as if they had never appeared.

"Why am I here?"

Luo An, now awake, looked around in confusion and asked puzzledly.

"Don't talk too much now, let's return."

Sun Yan surveyed the surroundings before taking Luo An back to the auditorium. After this ordeal, Sun Yan realized the troublesome nature of Franklin.

Though just an Evil Spirit, in terms of difficulty, he far exceeded any Evil Spirit Sun Yan had encountered before.

Franklin seemed not to exist in the real world, but could only be found in other people's dreams.

This was quite unfavorable for Sun Yan.

Although he was skilled at exorcism, dealing with an Evil Spirit that existed only in dreams suddenly posed no effective solution.

Sun Yan could only open the online chat group of the Folklore Association, planning to seek help from fellow members late at night.

As the saying goes, each trade has its expertise, and while collectively, the members of the Folklore Association might not surpass Sun Yan in exorcism skills, every member had their unique skill.

Among them, there might just be a method to solve the current problem he was facing.

[Jackson (Gospel Town Cemetery Manager)]: Is any pro up late? I'm facing a bit of trouble and need answers urgently.

Originally thinking that at this hour, very few would be awake.

But to his surprise, not long after sending the message, a bunch of group members emerged, some of whom Sun Yan had never even conversed with before.

[Old Joe Six (Tomb Exploration丨Ghost Goods丨Guide)]: What's the problem? Tell us.

[Meng Tou (Gyrfalcon丨Beef and Lamb)]: Damn, Old Six, you're still active at this hour? Off exploring another tomb, making profits in the hundreds of thousands, huh?

[Old Joe Six (Tomb Exploration丨Ghost Goods丨Guide)]: Stop spouting crap in the group. I'm out at night cultivating my personality.

[Mountain Taker (Mountain Goods丨Minerals丨Treasure Seeker)]: Little brother, what's troubling you? Just say it, if we can help after seeing it, we won't hold back.

Seeing these previously unseen lurking group members speak, Sun Yan mentioned the troubles he encountered.

[Old Joe Six (Tomb Exploration丨Ghost Goods丨Guide)]: Isn't this a nightmare? I've experienced it. It can affect people's brain nerves, causing realistic hallucinations and resulting in improbable deaths. But it's manageable, I know how to deal with it.

[Jackson (Gospel Town Cemetery Manager)]: Please enlighten me, I'll share a third of the reward with you after it's done.

[Old Joe Six (Tomb Exploration丨Ghost Goods丨Guide)]: Hey, talking money ruins the camaraderie. We're all locals, mutual assistance is natural. The nightmare you encountered isn't weak; if you don't find a way from the root, the whole issue won't be resolved. Your urgent task is to find the remains of the deceased, then it can be completely remedied.

[Jackson (Gospel Town Cemetery Manager)]: I had the townsfolk who buried the deceased lead me to find the remains, but couldn't locate them; they seemed to have been dug up by someone else previously. Asking me to find the remains now is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

[Old Joe Six (Tomb Exploration丨Ghost Goods丨Guide)]: No worries, I'll teach you a method. The nightmare coexists with his remains. Whenever the nightmare appears, the remains are nearby, and usually not buried underground. I'll teach you a small trick. Gather some ingredients to use it, and then you'll find what you need.

[Mountain Taker (Mountain Goods丨Minerals丨Treasure Seeker)]: Old Joe Six, your little trick isn't...?

[Old Joe Six (Tomb Exploration丨Ghost Goods丨Guide)]: That's right, it's the Pen Immortal. Don't doubt it; the Pen Immortal is quite reliable.

Before the phone screen, Sun Yan's expression froze momentarily, slightly surprised.

Even those who dare not watch horror films must have heard tales of the Pen Immortal and the Dish Immortal.

What Sun Yan didn't expect was that he would inevitably play the Pen Immortal game.

Sounds kind of thrilling.
