Nightmare Assault

“Is that your final intuition?” Hiding behind a stone mountain, An Xuan stared at Zuo Qing seriously. This was their meet-up spot. They had abandoned their temporary teammates to convene to share information.

“Yes.” Zuo Qing spoke quickly, clearly agitated, “I suspect it is Chen Qiang. He is the Deep Red in hiding!” Zuo Qing calmed down and told An Xuan, “When you were together yesterday, what was your opinion of him?”

An Xuan scratched his chin, “He was very calm. He didn’t show any panic like he did at the start. If he is a real newbie, then he has great potential. Very impressive.”

“Not impressive,” Zuo Qing corrected him, “Very scary!” Zuo Qing had already marked Chen Qiang as extremely dangerous in her heart. She was sure that the young man was the spy sent by Deep Red.

An Xuan frowned as he studied his subordinate before him. “Look at yourself.” He said seriously, “I don’t care what happened to you and what you saw. You have to calm down. Do not let fear dominate you.

“Also, don’t let your feelings sway your thoughts,” An Xuan said, “Use your brain.”

“But…”

“No but,” An Xuan interrupted her. Eventually, An Xuan’s gaze softened. He moved his lips, “Xiao Qing,” He hesitated, “You are not suitable for this job. After this mission is over, I’ll talk to the superior to transfer you away from the executive branch.”

“I’m not moving,” Zuo Qing denied it. Her eyes reddened.

An Xuan sighed, “I know you joined the night guardian for your father. Plus, you’ve been tracing Deep Red. You can consider moving to another department. How about intel? That was your expertise. Your intuition would help you…”

“I said I’m not moving!” Zuo Qing gritted her teeth, “If you dare to reflect this to the superior, I’ll never forgive you!”

“Listen to me. This is for your own good!”

“No!”

…

An Xuan felt a great headache. If not for her sharp intuition, he would never bring her with him. Sometimes, the simplest intuition could resolve many things. Zuo Qing did get one thing right. The scariest thing about the people from Deep Red was not their cruelty but their ability to hide their cruelty under the most serene appearance. They would only tear off their disguise at the moment of the hunt. For their prey, that was when their true nightmare began.

The executive department was the most elite and powerful department among the night guardian. Of course, they also faced the greatest risk. While they infiltrated the nightmare realm, they had to protect important personnel and eliminate monsters like those from Deep Red. If the history of the night guardian were written into a book, the executive branch would be the bloodiest chapter.

A few of An Xuan’s colleagues had already gone lost without a trace. One of them was found after escaping the nightmare, but he lost his mind. He was placed in the night guardian’s hospital. The unique thing about this hospital was that it had nothing red in colour. Even the blood pack had to be wrapped in a different-coloured wrapping.

The hospital had a lot of sky blue and green because those colours were said to help calm people down. Steps were taken to prevent the patients from harming themselves and each other to prevent the sight of blood. Anything deep red could send the people there into madness.

These people were once An Xuan’s teammates and the former elites of the executive department. The only thing they did wrong was to encounter Deep Red in the nightmare realm. They were caught, tormented and then tossed out the door… so that they could live as symbols of humiliation.

Whenever he thought of his friend, who was tied to the bed with saliva dripping down his face, An Xuan’s determination to eliminate Deep Red became firmer. Perhaps in the future, he might die or lose his mind after being caught by Deep Red. However, before that, he would keep on treading this path. Like his seniors, he had no regrets.

He had a feeling that Deep Red… was preparing for a big conspiracy. He didn’t dare to imagine how big it was. Others saw Deep Red as a group of crazy people. They feared their heartlessness but An Xuan knew that underneath the madness was their almost perfect executive power.

In his eyes, Deep Red was more like a group of fanatics. Their object of worship was not conventional religions… or even the devil. It was something deeper that was hidden in the dark.

What it was… An Xuan had no clue. However, he had a feeling the thing was hidden in the nightmare realm.

Deep Red was exploring the nightmare realm as they were. However, the night guardian was finding ways to end the nightmares while Deep Red was searching for that thing.

They had no sense of morality. They didn’t care about people’s lives. They had no bottom line and no limit. Their goal was infuriating. They were a bunch of martyrs who found each other! ṝÅƝＯΒЁṢ

The thing that concerned An Xuan was that Deep Red was rapidly growing… much faster than the executive department!

Based on reliable information, Deep Red had very few official members. Most of them were followers who had fallen to the charm of Deep Red. These people didn’t have the brains and abilities of the official members, but their madness was undeniable. That was why they were so scary.

Deep Red was a symbol. However, countless mad people had congregated around this symbol. They enjoyed this crazy feast that even Deep Red couldn’t put a stop to anymore.

So far, An Xuan hadn’t encountered any official member from Deep Red. Those he had killed were Deep Red’s followers. However, their madness left a deep impression in his mind.
