In retrospect, Se Lang regretted shouting. When he did that, he stomped his feet with chi which in turn started to rock the entire plane, causing it to sink even further. Not only that, he realised that the Fishmen were not the only ones on the plane with him. All the other 'dead' passengers began to twitch their fingers and feet.

Eventually, they turned their head towards Se Lang and admired his beautiful, tasty chi. Aye, the passengers were not dead…yet. "What the hell is with this instance!" Se Lang´s fear was creeping up into him. The undead zombies were struggling to get out of their seats as more seawater gushed through the broken parts of the plane.

"Jia Ying is not even awake, and if I leave her alone to fight the zombies, the Fishmen might kidnap her while I am not looking." Se Lang talked to himself and scratched his head. "Arrgghh! Why did I sign up for this instance?!" If the audience were to look over at this particular instance, they would think it was quite unusual for Se Lang, their neighbourhood policeman, to be this afraid.

Thankfully, all Halloween instances were not being broadcast mainly because Jin wanted to keep the horror and suspense factor of this instance. It was also to keep the customer's identity secret, just this once. Jin did not want them to be laughed at in case of some embarrassing moments. Jin expected that certain situations might arise, especially when a group was placed in a stressful environment, which might lead to some of his cultivators showing their true colours.

Not to mention, Jin also promised that the customers were allowed to get a refund if they resigned before the end of stage one of the Halloween instance. It would be in poor taste to show multiple failures in the auditorium.

"Believe it or not, Se Lang hates scary movies. I remember him beating up a clown just because he came out to scare him in a House of Mirror attraction. Have I mentioned he even broke half of the House of Mirror attraction causing them to halt their business for half a day to replace them?" Deng Long told Shi Hui as he passed a set of Halloween tickets to her before their gathering. "He later apologised and promised to pay for the mirrors. It was simply hilarious."

Shi Hui did not expect his friend to be this generous, but Deng Long could not deny admitting that he only did that because he had too many tickets. He spent a lot of money since he wanted the cosmetic costumes from the Halloween loot box. "I heard this rumour that if you buy the Halloween loot box instead of just the card, there was a higher chance of getting a rare cosmetic set. Especially when the tickets were limited."

"Then what about those criminals who ambushed him?" Shi Hui could not help but ask since Se Lang was such a scaredy cat according to Deng Long. "Blah, he has his special skills so that he simply cannot be ambushed, and even if they do manage to escape his sights, they cannot escape his incredible sense of smell. He is a cheat when it comes to being a policeman." Deng Long rolled his eyes.

"Then why aren't you coming with us?" Shi Hui asked Deng Long, and he sighed heavily. "If not for my self-admitted obsessive compulsion to get the limited-edition rare Halloween costume for my pet, I would not need to do overtime to earn back that money." Deng Long said as he pulled out his phone and showed Shi Hui his digital pet in the Pandamonium App. It was a cloaked floating wombat with a skull mask on the side of its head, holding a scythe while carrying a basket full of candies.

"It's just too cute," Deng Long commented as he could not wait to visit Jin´s store to play with his wombat.

"Take a deep breath." Se Lang knew that they were sinking, so he immediately killed a zombie near him and checked the bottom of the seat. "Life vest! At least Boss Jin still managed to make this instance as realistic as it can be." Se Lang thought to himself as he put on the life vest for the unconscious Jia Ying.

After which, he killed another few zombies that were trying to grab him with his scythe blade before finding another life vest to wear. "In this kind of stupid horror scenario, I should bring another life vest in case the other one doesn't work." Se Lang thought to himself as he grabbed a few life vests, threw them into a sling bag that was lying around and wore one for himself. Se Lang then continued to place Jia Ying on his shoulder as he held onto her thighs so that he had a free arm to swing his weapon when he needed to.

However, that short amount of time those preparations took, allowed a few of the zombies to break free, desperately crawling towards Se Lang. "Gah, no time to deal with you guys!" Se Lang's heart was pounding, for what he was about to execute, could turn into a life or death situation. He called his Icesteel Scythe out of his storage ring and kept the one with the blood explosion inscription.

"Intermediate Scythe Art! Moon Divide of the Wacky Wolf!" Se Lang aimed his scythe at the side of the plane and performed his weapon art. The chi absorbed by the Icesteel Scythe was incredibly big compared to his previous scythe, but it allowed him to dish out a vastly stronger attack as well. With just one swing, his weapon art had cleanly cut the plane into two, leaving him with seconds of oxygen available, before the entire interior of the aircraft broke into two.

"Intermediate Scythe Art!!! Moon Barrier of the Wacky Wolf!" Se Lang yelled once more as he twirled and whirled his Icesteel scythe with just one hand. The chi he expelled for this skill was immense mainly because this barrier was now for two instead of one. Also, it was not a simple two-dimensional barrier but a three-dimensional one which simulated a sphere like chi barrier around Jia Ying and him.

Furthermore, the Icesteel scythe gave his chi barrier the element of ice, creating a thin ice coating around Se Lang and Jia Ying. Se Lang was betting on this after he had previously learnt how elemental weapons could affect their skills. Although it could be considered a double edge sword, it barely saved Se Lang and Jia Ying this time around.

Upon realising the potential of the ice element affecting the chi barrier, he used the same weapon art, Moon Barrier of the Wacky Wolf once more to reinforce his barrier. The thin ice coating became thicker, and this gave Se Lang some peace of mind before he relaxed and panted for his breath.

"If my physics knowledge is not that rusty…. Maybe we can float up to the surface of the sea…" Se Lang vaguely remembered the density of Ice is lighter than water. If such physical properties still hold true in this dungeon instance, maybe they could float up. That was also assuming no Deep Ones were attacking them.

All Se Lang could do now is hope. Hope that Jia Ying and him could get out of this dreadful scenario alive.
