At the same time, the sea water level outside the lighthouse was constantly rising. All the lamprey-like sea monsters had gathered around and were entwining the lighthouse with their tentacles as they began climbing up.

The books on the shelves were getting more and more restless; they had jumped out on several occasions to attack the three of them. General quickened his pace and leaped off the banister. Yu Hao began to run as he chased after them from behind.

"Will there be a gatekeeper?" Yu Hao remembered that the gatekeeper of his palace was the person he had a secret crush on. A character who would guard one's inner darkness and fear...for Shi Ni, her gatekeeper might be her mother?

When they arrived at the top floor, General put Shi Ni down and said, "It's best if you don't......"

The top floor was a loft. All around them were blurred, flashing images that floated in mid-air, and they looked like photos from a memory as they revolved around them.

"What are these?" Yu Hao wondered.

General and Yu Hao both held their weapons at the ready, prepared for battle, but the attic was empty. The two of them looked around before General suddenly reacted, "Take this chance now and go!"

Within an instant, black flames began to swirl around them. A huge open platform appeared at the top of the lighthouse, and in the center of the platform laid a single office swivel chair. Shi Ni's father, Shi Liang, was sitting on it, and he was holding a tattered bear doll in his hands. The black flames that surrounded him transformed into an energy that rose into the air to form a giant demonic eye.

The demonic eye drooped slightly and looked at the three of them. There was a symbol enshrouded in a mass of black air in the middle of the demonic eye.

Totem!

General waved his Jingubang while Yu Hao pulled his hands apart and his staff split into two knives.

"Nini, you're here." Shi Liang's hair fell and he had an obscene smile on his face, "Let Daddy take a look? Why are you always hiding at the back?"

Shi Ni stood behind Yu Hao and General as she wheezed harshly.

The sea monsters rose up from around the lighthouse and waved their tentacles. The demonic eye turned around and emitted a ray of light that enveloped the entire platform.

Yu Hao and General pointed their weapons at Shi Liang simultaneously as they shouted, "You're finished now!"

General, "We've already called the police!"

Yu Hao, "It'll be tomorrow at the latest! Then you'll be going to jail!"

Shi Ni's eyes suddenly widened as she remembered. And the instant she remembered, the dark sky burst forth with millions of thunderstorms that whirled towards the lighthouse and struck it head-on!

"You're finished--!" Shi Ni released all of the anger that she had been suppressing in her dreamscape as she shouted, "You can't hurt me anymore! You beast--!"

The lightning of judgement exploded towards them and instantly electrocuted all of the sea monsters that were entrenched on the lighthouse, causing them to fall off!

Shi Liang's eyes suddenly widened and he roared, "Impossible!"

Yu Hao never could have expected that after Shi Ni realized that her father was about to be brought to justice in her dreamscape, she would unleash such power. He heard General shout, "Let's go!"
