Odd Containment Specialist
Chapter 99: Keep going forward
"The Blood Demon House will pull the consciousness of the sleeping person into a common dream, complete the escape and killing activities in the dream, and the person will wake up from the dream after the end. In other words, the Blood Demon House has a process of extracting the human spirit from the body and putting it back into the body.
I took advantage of this loophole and escaped from the Blood Demon House. Of course, I didn't just escape with my soul, but also with my consciousness and the forbidden objects on my body. This is related to my supernatural power.
But your problem is that you will soon be possessed by the person in the Death Record Note, and this is the final location he arranged."
Xia Shou's pupils shrank slightly, and he sat silently on the steps, looking for a feeling in his heart.
In the face of absolutely realistic illusions, there is no way to break through by logical thinking. At this time, you can only gamble.
Edward continued, "You must have some doubts yourself, right? The predecessor in the Death Note has impure motives.
In fact, the verification method is very simple. Now you just need to turn around and go down the tower with me. I will leave the Lighthouse of Fear with you. After leaving the lighthouse, you will know that I am a real person, not an illusion.
And if I am an illusion, you just need to come up again. This time no one will use this reason to deceive you, and it won't take you much time."
Edward paused, and said seriously and sincerely: "Please don't go up any more. If you continue to go up, you will die. This is also a huge disaster for countless other innocent ordinary people. You can't imagine how evil the soul in the notebook you hold is."
After listening, Xia Shou stood up again.
"It's so scary. I'm going to keep going up."
"Wait! Are you crazy? Isn't what I said clear enough? I will go down with you and leave this tower! As long as you leave this tower, you will know whether I am hallucinating or not. Even if I am really hallucinating, you just need to challenge it again.
You have read the archives of this place. This place allows repeated challenges."
"I just suddenly figured out why this place is so difficult to climb. The name of this [Lighthouse of Fear] was wrong from the beginning." Xia Shou smiled, "It should be called [Tower of Retreat]."
He has seen through the strategy of the Lighthouse of Fear, giving an extremely risky ending, and then indicating an extremely clear safe retreat.
First, he used fainting to seal the replay ability of [Self-Death Path]. In this way, of course, he would think of leaving the tower first and regrouping after 24 hours.
Now, he is tempted to leave by the temptation that he can tell the truth after leaving the tower and will not be scared away by the same fear next time he comes in.
Of course, this could indeed be true. Xia Shou's current situation is like a brain in a vat, without any ability to distinguish true from false.
But on the other hand, he understood that even if he left, the next time he came up, there would definitely be another kind of fear hidden in his heart that would emerge and lure him down the tower in the same way, because the fear in people's hearts is endless.
"You will die! You really will die! This tower is no longer the same as before!" Edward shouted.
Yes, the Fear Lighthouse is no longer safe, Xia Shou knew it from the beginning.
Xia Shou no longer paid attention to Edward behind him and turned on the communication device on his waist.
"Wei Yu Wei Yu, you should be here, right? It's been three hours now, you must have arrived." Xia Shou said to the communicator.
Outside the lighthouse, Su Wei Yu heard Xia Shou's voice coming from the speaker.
Although she wanted to respond to Xia Shou, she had no choice but to listen to Xia Shou's unilateral speech because the communication was one-way.
"The situation is like this. I met Edward inside. I don't know if he was an illusion, but if I was not the only one who came out of the Lighthouse of Fear later, then I would probably not be myself. I should have been possessed by someone else.
I hope you can find a chance to kill me... No, not to kill me, but to kill the person who occupied my body and avenge me." Xia Shou said.
Su Weiyu bit her nails and looked at the entrance of the Lighthouse of Fear in a tangled way. She wanted to go in but didn't dare to go in.
She couldn't find Xia Shou if she went in now, because they were not at the same height, and the physical space inside the Lighthouse of Fear was disordered.
But was what Xia Shou said true? Did he really meet Edward inside?
It must be false! Xia Shou had an illusion, but he didn't meet anything.
In the lighthouse, Xia Shou continued to go up.
He believed that if Edward was not an illusion just now, Su Weiyu would also take care of him.
Lifting his foot and landing, Xia Shou stepped on something very soft, not a hard concrete step. The moment his right foot landed, a painful groan came from under his feet.
It was a strange touch, like stepping on a person's belly.
At the same time, Xia Shou felt his skin cracking, blood slowly flowing out of the wound, red liquid flowing down from the cracked brow bone, obscuring his vision, his mouth was full of the sweet and fishy taste of rust, and when he licked his tongue on the upper palate, there was a sharp sting, as if his tongue was cut by a razor with dozens of small cuts of varying depths.
Bleeding illusion?
Xia Shou gritted his teeth and continued to climb up on the steps that turned into strange human bodies. The retreat caused by physical torture was a completely different test from the doubt in his mind. He did not need to question the correctness of moving forward, but the temptation to retreat was real.
"Fuck you! I can bear double the pain, but you still want me to get off the tower?" Xia Shou raised his mouth, his face covered with blood.
"You are weak. Even if you inflict pain, you can't really make the climber lose the ability to climb, but this intensity is far from enough." Xia Shou climbed up the wall, leaving bright red palm prints along the way. The blood in his body was almost drained, but it had been flowing for quite a long time.
Then, he heard melodious music, and the pain in his body gradually dissipated.
But the melodious music became clearer and clearer, making Xia Shou feel like he had heard it somewhere before.
As he continued to walk up, he saw himself stepping on countless red bodies, and shrill wails came from the strange cavities of those people, and the entire lighthouse tunnel became bright, and he suddenly saw where he was!
He looked up and saw a huge platform, with a white stone pillar with a diameter of several hundred meters across his head.
The place where he was walking now was the choir wall of the Heavenly Choir!
"Oh my, why did you stop? Keep going forward. You will soon reach your position. You have to keep going forward." Xia Shou found that the hands on his neck that were pinching his neck had disappeared.
And all the clothes he was wearing disappeared, leaving him naked!
He looked up suddenly and saw the missionary floating above his head, directing him to keep going forward.
"Did you see it? That's where you will work in the future." The missionary pointed to a groove on the choir wall and said.
"Hallucination? ... Or am I dead?" Xia Shou fell into confusion. The scale of the scene change this time seemed a bit too large.
