The black mist gradually solidified, forming a black monster that floated above An Qi Dong's head.
“That's it! The Virus Necromancer Beast!”
Ramirez recognized the monster at a glance.
The Virus Necromancer Beast also noticed him, a chilling voice echoing: “We meet again, Ramirez. I didn't expect your flesh to be dead, but your soul is still fighting.”
“So it was you, this monster, who controlled An Qi Dong!”
“Hahaha...! Isn't it infuriating? The once-renowned hero, the Beast Thunder Dragon, is now my killing tool. What can you do now, Ramirez?”
“Get out of An Qi Dong's body! Otherwise, I won't let you go!”
“Let me go? Hahahaha, are you kidding me, Ramirez? You, who can't even change your form, what can you do to me?”
“I have plenty of ways! I'm giving you one chance!”
“Heh, then I'll look forward to your performance...”
With that, the Virus Necromancer Beast's body dissolved into black smoke and disappeared. An Qi Dong also dived into the ground and retreated.
The Mighty King disappeared, and Huangfu Ye came to Ramirez's side, just in time to hear the Strong Dragon Warriors ask, “What's going on here, Ramirez?”
Ramirez's momentum plummeted. He sighed softly, looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and slowly said: “That Virus Necromancer Beast, it's a formidable enemy that has been tormenting dinosaurs since the ancient times. It can control diseases at will.”
“It resurrected once in the Middle Ages and was defeated by me and An Qi Dong. However, its fragments invaded An Qi Dong's body.”
“I haven't noticed it. I thought the Virus Necromancer Beast was dead for good, but it seems it wasn't dead. It's taken control of An Qi Dong.”
“Please, you have to help me, save An Qi Dong!” Ramirez pleaded sincerely to them.
“We want to save him, but how do we even save him?” Amy Jie Yue asked.
Ramirez: “You have to find a way to drive the Virus Necromancer Beast out of An Qi Dong's body and defeat it.”
“But how do we drive it out?”
“I don't know either. We have to figure it out together.”
“Didn't you just say you had plenty of ways?”
“I lied to it. If I had a way, I wouldn't have just discovered that An Qi Dong was controlled by such a monster.”
“...”
Everyone was speechless.
What a bold move.
He was so convincing with his words that they believed him.
...
In the city, at a concert venue.
There were not many people in the venue. On stage, two people were giving speeches, but it was unclear what they were talking about.
In the last row of the audience seats, two strange figures sat, unnoticed.
“So it was that monster's influence that caused the Necromancer Pastry Chef to lose control.”
The speaker was Le Qiu Luo.
Sitting next to him was his superior, the Joyful Cavalry, Jia Li Lei.
Jia Li Lei stood up, “I know that monster. Let's sing a song first.”
“Sing?”
Le Qiu Luo was baffled.
What is she talking about?
Why does she know that monster, and why does she want to sing?
“Heehee, just listen to me sing. Watch my performance!”
Jia Li Lei cleared her throat and began to sing loudly.
It was unbelievably terrible!
As soon as she started singing, it scared the few people in the venue.
“Monster!”
“Run...!”
People were scared out of their wits and fled. In just a few minutes, everyone in the venue had run away.
Jia Li Lei didn't stop, she walked onto the stage and used the microphone to sing even more enthusiastically.
Downstairs, in the audience seats.
Black mist rose from the ground, solidifying into a black monster.
This black monster was the Virus Necromancer Beast, the one Ramirez had mentioned.
Listening to Jia Li Lei's singing, the Virus Necromancer Beast looked as if it was enjoying itself.
When the song ended, the Virus Necromancer Beast gave a thumbs up and praised: “Oh, excellent, Joyful Cavalry Jia Li Lei, Your Highness!”
“You finally showed up, Necromancer Beast - Virus. I didn't expect you to be able to possess the Beast Thunder Dragon.”
“Hahaha, thank you for the compliment, Jia Li Lei, Your Highness.”
“I'm complimenting you for what?!” Jia Li Lei suddenly pointed her finger at his nose and shouted, “You possess the Beast Thunder Dragon, fine. But why do you have to possess my Necromancer Pastry Chef? I still need him to collect human joy!”
The Virus Necromancer Beast waved his hand, “Don't be angry, Jia Li Lei, Your Highness. It's just collecting joy, I can help you.”
“Help me? How can you help?”
“Come with me.”
The Virus Necromancer Beast took them to the street. Black mist drifted out, possessing people's bodies, and they all fell to the ground asleep, with sweet smiles on their faces.
Le Qiu Luo was startled. He went forward to check the sleeping people and said happily, “Their sleeping faces are so happy and joyful...!”
Pink light floated out from the sleeping people and drifted towards Icebound City in the distance.
Joy was being collected.
“What did you do?”
The Virus Necromancer Beast said proudly, “This is one of my powers, the Sleepy Sickness. This way, humans can keep their happy feeling and sleep forever.”
“Amazing.”
“Jia Li Lei, Your Highness, I can help you, but I also need you to help me. It's a deal.”
“What do you want me to help you with?”
