There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game
Chapter 503: You are the Gateway to All Truth (10,000 characters / Script Complete)_5
"Yueshu?"
Looking at the flickering bright yellow figure, the Dean narrowed his eyes and spoke softly.
Xu Shuo rubbed his head, turned around and said, "It pulled my consciousness into its world, and then I directly dragged its consciousness into my Mind Network, so I guess we're even."
Yueshu laughed strangely and said, "Yeah, very even. So, Dean, our spirits are now entwined. If you kill me, we will probably die together."
Upon hearing this, the Dean glanced at Xu Shuo, whose expression remained calm.
He chuckled and said, "Hey, that's indeed a convenient method."
As he spoke, he once again lifted the axe and rested it against his own neck.
Because in the previous few sentences, Xu Shuo had made it very clear.
He didn't have to worry about this body.
Even though they were sharing one body now.
And in this script, if the story ended, the Dean, who existed as an NPC, also wouldn't truly die.
It sounded like a very profitable deal!
Yueshu also stared intently at him, his gaze indecipherable.
In the tight circle surrounded by monsters, the three people formed a stand-off between two sides.
And the sharp axe had already cut through the fragile skin, a tinge of crimson blood seeped out, trailing down along the curve of the neck.
At that moment, Xu Shuo waved his hand.
The Dean's hand, holding the axe, uncontrollably moved away from his neck, and he looked over in confusion.
Xu Shuo smiled and said, "Forget it, seeing how composed this kid is, I reckon you won't be able to bring yourself to die with him. After all, I can't completely restrain him; on the contrary, he has me restrained."
Hearing this, a cold smirk appeared on Yueshu's gloomy face: "Mr. Dean, I thought you were quite confident."
Xu Shuo smiled without saying a word.
In fact, sacrificing a Dean might indeed deliver a heavy blow to Yueshu, but it wasn't necessary.
Because it was him that Yueshu was connected to, not the body of the Dean.
So all Xu Shuo had to do was to retract the Alpha Character Card, and the Mind Network constructed of spiritual power would collapse, thus affecting Yueshu who was connected to it now.
But if he retracted the Character Card, the Dean's consciousness would also be suppressed by him again.
And the other thing Xu Shuo wasn't showing weakness on purpose.
He simply couldn't match Yueshu's powerful Abyss Darkness. Right now, it seemed like mutual suppression, but in fact, as time went on, Xu Shuo's spiritual power and Self-Consciousness would eventually be overwhelmed by the other party.
It looked like a deadlock.
"Up to now, Mr. Dean, you've given me quite enough surprises," Yueshu said coldly. "I think it's time to end this game."
As his voice fell, the pitch-black Qi crept along the link between the two towards Xu Shuo, the dim light of spiritual power fading more and more, as if it had no strength left to resist.
The Dean was startled and quickly looked at Xu Shuo, asking with his eyes.
His hand gripping the axe was itching to move, but it was suppressed by the other's spiritual power and unable to act, which made him frown.
Yueshu observed the behaviors and reactions of these two people who looked alike, feeling doubtful, because he had always treated them as the embodiment of two personalities of the Dean.
But now, he always felt something was amiss.
Especially the persistent trace of a shallow smile on the other's face, the smile that had remained unchanged even now as he was about to be devoured by Yueshu.
It genuinely gave Yueshu the creeps!
Recalling how he had been tricked by the other several times before, the smugness on Yueshu's face abruptly subsided!
"No!"
He glowered at Xu Shuo darkly: "You absolutely cannot be resigning yourself to capture so easily! What else have you done?!"
Upon hearing that, Xu Shuo smiled and said warmly, "You're smart, indeed quite smart. But you're also just a naive brat."
"What exactly did you do?!"
Yueshu's face twisted viciously, and his sanity, shaken by the violent fluctuations of emotion, was quickly shattered by the chaotic and warped Abyss.
He suddenly lunged forward, hands tightly choking Xu Shuo's neck, thick and corrupt Dark Matter dripping onto the sacred Spiritual Being, creating a wisp of white vapor.
But just then, a blinding white light suddenly came from outside!
The brilliance of the light was comparable to the magnificent sun, its shockwave swept across wildly, like spilling pure white ink, like the dawn breaking into day, instantly dispersing all darkness!
The monsters enveloping the barrier, surrounding the three of them, wailed in agony within the light and disappeared without a trace.
As the light overtook all sight, Xu Shuo promptly dropped the barrier, and the figures of the three vanished in the light in an instant.
...
The familiar universe appeared within Xu Shuo's Sea of Consciousness.
In the swirling cosmic galaxy, seven exceptionally bright stars shone, interlinked and reflecting off each other, outlining an enigmatic pattern.
It looked like a picture of all living beings worshiping and praying, but upon closer examination, it also seemed to be just a pair of tightly closed eyes.
Xu Shuo saw all these things.
And Yueshu, whose spirit was connected and influencing each other, also saw the exact same scene as him.
Yueshu had not recovered from the recent turn of events; all he knew was that he had been fooled by that guy again, lured into some trap.
That man always had endless schemes!
And when he regained his senses and saw the scene before him, a shock and panic that couldn't be contained surged in his heart, a fear ingrained almost like an instinct, as if facing some kind of natural enemy!
