Yan Changshou was stunned for a moment. Then, a dangerous look appeared in his eyes.
"It seems you still haven't understood the current situation. Very well, then I..."
"What makes you think you're in control now? You're just a useless fool who can't even maintain your human form. You brought me here for the Genesis Mask, right? Okay, I'm a reasonable person. If you kneel and bow to me three times, maybe I'll give you the Genesis Mask," Fang Xiu said.
Hearing this, Yan Changshou was shocked, and so was the real Wen Yang. His face changed dramatically, realizing Fang Xiu's true intention. But he was trapped in his own dream, watching everything helplessly.
"Fang Xiu! You bastard! Keep doing this and I swear I'll kill you!" Wen Yang shouted angrily, like a defeated dog barking. But no one could hear his voice.
Yan Changshou became furious. He couldn't even maintain his human form and half of his body turned into a Specter.
He laughed angrily and said, "Who would've thought that the famous Fang Xiu, the foreseer, is such an arrogant asshole? You want me to kneel and beg you? Your life is in my hands now, so you should be the one begging for mercy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a scarlet tentacle shot out from Yan Changshou's body, piercing Wen Yang's left shoulder.
The excruciating pain directly affected Wen Yang's consciousness. In his dream realm, Wen Yang screamed in agony.
"Ah! Fang Xiu, you bastard! How dare you set me up!"
Outside the dream realm…
"Fang Xiu" looked at his pierced left shoulder with a mocking expression, "This is it? And you want the Genesis Mask? In your dreams!"
"Bastard!" Yan Changshou became even more furious. "You'll regret every word you've said just now!"
In the dream real…
Wen Yang looked at the furious Yan Changshou with extreme terror.
"No, no, no! Captain Yan! It's me! Don't do it!"
SWISH, SWISH, SWISH!
Several tentacles shot out from Yan Changshou's body, striking "Fang Xiu." The tentacles were like small knives, constantly cutting "Fang Xiu," destroying his flesh.
In just a moment, "Fang Xiu" became a bloody mess, with gaping wounds and his bones visible.
Amazingly, "Fang Xiu's" face showed no pain, only mockery. He continued to taunt, "Grab dinner and come back, see if you can do better then. The night is long, and I'll wait here for you."
Yan Changshou almost lost his mind from his rage. He had tortured many people before, but this was the first time he met someone like "Fang Xiu."
If someone didn't witness the scene and just heard them talking, he would think "Fang Xiu" was the one in control.
From the moment Fang Xiu entered, he became more arrogant as the time passed despite being seriously injured. His body was a tangled mess, but he seemed not to care, as if it wasn't his body.
Yan Changshou continued to torture "Fang Xiu."
Wen Yang kept screaming, the pain twisting his consciousness. Seeing his messed up body, he was on the verge of collapse. He knew that even if he regained his body later, it would be completely useless.
After a long time, Yan Changshou stopped. He didn't dare to continue because the wounds on "Fang Xiu" were too severe, and he feared killing him.
However, "Fang Xiu" kept taunting him.
"No way, no way, is that all? The great Captain Yan, one of the five captains of the headquarters, can't take it? No wonder you can't become the Chief Captain. You turned yourself into a Specter for power, but you're still so useless."
A cold smile flashed across Yan Changshou's face.
"Fang Xiu, stop pretending. I know what you're doing. You want to die, so I can't get the Genesis Mask. Soon you'll see, all your suffering was for nothing. Now, come out and control his body."
With Yan Changshou's command, a pale skull appeared in the corner, connected to countless transparent tentacles. It floated in the air and slowly moved toward "Fang Xiu," finally landing on his head.
The tentacles moved and penetrated "Fang Xiu's" body. Strangely, there were no visible wounds where the tentacles entered, as if they merged into him.
The next second, the fake personality was controlled by the Specter and started searching for the Genesis Mask.
Seeing this, excitement flashed in Yan Changshou's eyes. He licked his lips like a greed snake.
Then, one second, two seconds, three seconds...
The smile on Yan Changshou's face gradually disappeared, replaced by irritation and anger.
"Where is the Genesis Mask!" His furious roar almost shook the roof.
As the skull slowly left "Fang Xiu's" body, Wen Yang's fake personality fell back under Fang Xiu's control. A sneering look of contempt appeared on his face again.
"Mask? What mask? Oh, I remember, I must have left it somewhere. As for where it is…. Why don't you kneel and beg me? Maybe I'll remember after that."
"Go to hell!" Yan Changshou lost all reason. He had never been mocked for so long before. Half an hour had passed since "Fang Xiu" entered the room.
"You have a solid backbone, huh? I'll see how hard it is. I'll take you to the execution room, where I have hundreds of torture instruments—today, I'll use them all on you!"
In the dream, Wen Yang's terrified expression was beyond words; he almost went insane.
"No, no, no! Captain Yan, please don't! I'm not Fang Xiu, I'm Wen Yang!"
His pleas were useless.
Even when "Fang Xiu" was taken to the execution room, he remained arrogant. He disdainfully looked at the numerous torture instruments and sneered, "Is this your precious junk collection? That tiger chair looks nice, let's try it first."
"Fang Xiu" even started picking torture instruments.
"No! Please! Fang Xiu, I beg you, don't make me say anything anymore."
Soon, Wen Yang's heart-wrenching screams echoed in the dream realm.
However, these screams transformed into the taunts coming from "Fang Xiu's" mouth in reality.
The real Fang Xiu quietly left, his consciousness returning to his own body.
It wasn't that Fang Xiu didn't want to continue controlling Wen Yang, but Wen Yang's body had been tortured too severely. He was having stress reactions, frequently passing out, so Fang Xiu decided to leave.
