In most prisons, the criminals who had done something 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 . Time felt extraordinarily long in the darkness, and most of the time, 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 mental state would suffer greatly . It was the punishment given by the East Guardian Tower to the criminals who tried to cause trouble . Even these devilish criminals had something 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 time!

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 come with me?” said Mochizuki Chihaya .

“Damn, you want me to handle the guards?” Mo Fan’s expression darkened .

“Don’t worry, the guards are easy for you . Besides, your Shadow Element 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 mess .

Candles on both sides dimly lit up the path . The light projected their two suspicious shadows on the walls .

Their steps were already extremely 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 men in indigo-blue outfits were standing in positions at the other end . From their auras, they were most likely Intermediate Magicians .

“Criminals in the East Guardian Tower have lost their ability to fight due to the magic formations . Therefore, Intermediate 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 equipment in the tower .

However, such an antique environment provided Mo Fan with an advantage . The Fleeing Shadow was perfect in a dimly lit environment . 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 time 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 meters 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 times at a certain rate, it would immediately 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 meters 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 .

“Somehow, 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 times . Stop trying to scare yourself just because some people were killed tonight . The person who caused the mess 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 me check… another one died again, something 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 came 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 movement, 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 movements 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 immediately 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 time!

The guard yelled, but the demon branch was extremely 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 .
