As the Hydra Leader, a professional Special Agent, and a psychology expert, driving Faust insane, making him die miserably, isn't that easy. The key is how to utilize fear.
Deathstroke may not be intimidating to them because it is known, despite many not knowing of Deathstroke's existence, but based on Lady Nine-Heads' behavior, it's certain that she and Faust know about this character.
Known things are never as frightening as the Unknown; this is human nature. During the process of imposing fear, simulate some unspeakable creatures with Strangulation, and add various sound and light effects, that should do it.
For this, Su Ming also crafted some wooden frames with large Iron Hooks in the darkness after Lights Out, borrowing the Iron Hooks from a Slaughterhouse on the other side of the city.
After everything was ready, he joyfully began playing with these people, executing the plan while also relaxing; why not?
Faust, in the end, is just an Ordinary person. The transport plane they arrived on was thoroughly destroyed by Su Ming, so they can only play this game.
Su Ming only needs to ensure Faust survives to the end to experience all kinds of fear.
The first ones to be killed were those who went to repair the generator. Though fixing the generator was useless, it's the core gameplay, it can't be neglected. The monstrous people transformed by Deathstroke crudely dealt with these individuals.
Then he rested for a while, hiding in the Darkness, waiting for their companions to discover these bodies, then notified Faust, before starting various performances in front of the enemy.
Like tearing demons to pieces with bare hands or throwing hooks from a distance; the more brutal in the presence of onlookers, the better.
He won't kill them all at once but gives them a chance to fight back, making them experience hopeless despair like a cat playing with mice.
The Special Agents are efficient, and Faust's command is decent, so in less than five minutes, out of dozens, only five were left...
These five people have seen too many companions killed, each as skittish as a frightened bird, and they discovered there were not only that White-hooded strongman on the farm but also other bizarre people present.
Like the Undying monsters wearing American-style hockey Masks, chainsaw-wielding limping freaks, and Yellow-clad persons with Octopus Heads.
Nightmare, truly a Nightmare.
Their current thought is to escape, to emerge alive from being hunted by various monsters.
"Leader, all my team members are dead. Just now, a bizarre man riding a child's tricycle with painted red cheeks said he wanted to play a game with them and played them to death!"
"Me too, Leader. My team was caught by a White person with nails all over his head, subjected to some ascension ritual, and was skinned and disappeared miserably!"
Several people took turns around Faust, complaining, describing the tragedies they witnessed. The most crucial point is they encountered various monsters almost simultaneously, yet the farm remains in pitch-black Silence, as if nothing happened.
If it weren't for the cold bloody smell in the air and the screams that just faded, they would rather believe this is all a Nightmare.
When did the United States spawn so many diverse monsters? Why have they never been heard of before?
"Failure, our intelligence work is truly a failure..." Faust's expression was grim. His situation was worse; he encountered almost all the monsters his subordinates faced multiple times, and many more creatures others did not.
If he didn't throw his subordinates out each time to take the fall, he might have died earlier. But even so, now all his personal guards are gone.
"Leader, we should assign someone to quickly repair the transport plane, while the others find ways to safely attract the enemy's attention." A team leader suggested.
"A good idea." Faust showed approval, lightly patting the Agent's shoulder: "But someone reported the plane is severely damaged, we four will repair it, you go attract the enemy's attention, take care."
"Ah?"
"This is an order! If you return alive, I will reward you. If you suffer misfortune, you'll surely return to Hydra True God's side to enjoy eternal happiness." Faust's face darkened, his eyes shone brightly.
Upon hearing this, the Agent gritted his teeth: "Long live Hydra."
Then he turned and ran into the farm, making lots of noise, barely running out of the Multiverse before a scream echoed from the Darkness.
The person was gone.
Faust froze for a moment, but there was no other choice, he could only seize the opportunity and sneak away with the others. However, they didn't get far before a burned patient wearing a horizontally-striped sweater turned from behind the barn.
That person grinned viciously, brandishing long Steel Claws on his hands, leaving long scratches on the barn wall with each step, adjusting the Cowboy hat on his head he saluted: "Where are you heading? This is your Dream Realm, I am the King of Dreams."
"Open fire!" Faust immediately commanded.
"Jie Jie... it's useless. Come play hide-and-seek with your Uncle Freddy!"
After speaking, that person's arm stretched long, spanning over dozens of meters, the hand with Steel Claws snatched the heart from a Special Agent beside Faust and crushed it into debris.
The others fired wildly at him, but the blades on his fingers casually shredded all bullets, like an exaggerated cartoon.
Faust's heart sank further. He knew there were many hidden strongmen in the world, but he never imagined he'd witness so many pure Demons at a suburban farm.
Some Special Agents tried negotiating with the monsters but the best outcome was idle chat and then getting minced.
The opponents killed them for no reason, for fun's sake, which was most terrifying.
"Retreat!" Having said that, Faust led the charge to escape outside the farm, repairing the plane seemed unfeasible, then in the worst-case scenario, hoping to run further into the snowy forest.
Under cover fire, the three remaining quickly evacuate.
Su Ming didn't immediately chase, keeping people constantly tense numbs them, first let them run, catch their breath, ponder a while, then reappear for maximum effect.
Thinking running into the forest means escaping? Deathstroke won't anticipate this? It's all just a game, a game they can never escape.
Watching several vanish from sight, Su Ming patted Strangulation, Freddy immediately transformed into an Ironblood Warrior without a helmet, then let the cloak fly ahead to block Faust's escape route.
He really wasn't cheating.
