Chapter 160 Investigating Dreams
There is a saying in the tradition related to the android Holmunk that androids will naturally acquire wisdom similar to "revelation", and will be able to answer questions about past and future events and always correctly predict the results.

The fox girl Zhu Ling was able to roughly guess the nature of Youye Wuye's supernatural powers after hearing a little of her explanation.

"'Past Vision'".

Fox Girl Zhu Ling thought: "It shouldn't be surprising. He's close to this kind of power. This guy's words aren't just lies. They should be somewhat credible..."

The ability to observe the future is not omniscient after all. Moreover, her future vision is limited by time and cannot observe too far into the future.

"In other words, your goal is just to kill the descendants of the Yuejialuo clan?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

The message conveyed by Youye Wuye through telepathy also made the fox girl Zhu Ling show a helpless expression. She stared at Youye Wuye.

"Are you serious about that?"

She asked back, "Also, the reality is, even if we join forces, what are our chances of winning? Even if that little girl from the Yuejialuo family can't use the 'Eye of Heavenly Awareness' for the time being, I still can't attack Baijie. I can't observe his movements."

"There are always opportunities."

Youye Wuye said calmly, "At worst, after separating those two people, we can still find a way to defeat them one by one..."

"is it?"

The fox girl was silent for a long moment, as if she was thinking carefully. Finally, she sighed and said, "Okay, I can cooperate with you... However, the final result must also achieve my goal."

The other party may not be trustworthy.

However, the fox girl Zhu Ling trusts her own judgment more.

She had actually had this conversation with the other party forty or fifty times. After all, she could use future predictions to figure out what the other party would say, and the information they had gained from their conversations was already very clear.

Of course, she would not completely believe what the other party said, because this little girl might have hidden some information, and the other party might also have hidden important intelligence.

Even if the two parties cooperate, it is based on the premise that "they cannot fully trust each other's cooperation". This cooperation will only be carried out when their interests are similar.

However, to put it the other way around, as long as the interests of both parties are temporarily aligned, there is no need to worry about the other party betraying themselves.

"That's fine."

The fox girl Zhu Ling laughed softly.

Well, she didn't mind taking a gamble.

……

Baijie and Yeming rested for a while in the maze on the third level, and then met up with Lian Zhang and others who had rushed over.

Although they have lost the hunter father and daughter who served as their guide, Kongchan's cursed snake can still be used to explore the route.

Lian Zhang and others took a long detour and finally reached the third level of the maze, and successfully found Ye Ming and his group.

After all, Hiiragi Hiruko had communicated with Hyakusuke through dreams before, and also informed Renjo and his group of the recent situation.

"It seems like you're not in good condition..."

Old man Matsudaira was proficient in some simple healing techniques. He used the spiritual power wavelengths emitted from his right palm to check Baijie's physical condition under the armor.

"Your bones and muscles have been severely damaged in many places, and your internal organs may also be displaced. A normal person would be lying on the ground, vomiting blood and unable to move. You are still alive. It must be because the armor is protecting your flesh and has the regenerative ability to continuously regenerate tissues."

The old man made a summary.

"On the other hand, if the armor is removed, you will fall immediately."

"Is it that serious?"

Saizou also showed a worried expression.

"It still needs to be diagnosed by a professional healer to determine the specific situation."

Old man Matsudaira shook his head.

At the same time as he spoke, his right hand, with a palpation-like motion, touched the shell-like exoskeleton armor. In the old man's spiritual perception, Baijie's body seemed to have turned into an alien-like substance, and his skin gradually merged with the armor.

"is it?"

Bai Jie smiled indifferently.

He still had some control over the armor created by Feng Mowan. He was able to remove the helmet and mask, and the bone spurs all over his body and the huge palms on his back were also retracted.

However, no matter who sees his current appearance, they will not regard him as a human being, but as a monster like a demon.

"Actually, I can roughly guess it, but fortunately, the demonic energy absorbed earlier has stabilized the armor, so it doesn't need additional spiritual energy to support it... From another perspective, the load has been reduced."

After the Fengmo Pill is activated, the armor formed is completely supported by his physical and spiritual power. Under normal circumstances, it cannot last for too long.

This is not difficult to understand. If it is so convenient and easy to use, he can just use Fengmo Pills throughout every battle.

In fact, because the consumption of physical energy and spiritual power is too exaggerated, if it is not launched during the "decisive battle", it is very likely that you will be dragged down in the middle.

As for the actual situation, Baijie judged it to be even worse. Not only could he not take off his armor, he also couldn't sleep.

He judged that as soon as he fell asleep, another consciousness would come online, and how the situation would develop at that time, even he himself had no idea. In addition, he had no idea how that "consciousness", that other self, appeared.

"Is it because of the drug he was fed, or is it a problem with Feng Mowan itself? Doesn't this sword contain the power of the demon king, the Snake King? Before, that fox girl seemed to call it Wen Luo or something..."

The fox girl Zhu Ling was most likely referring to the ghost king named "Wen Luo".

The Ghost King's real name is Prince Onra. He is not a real ghost, but in later records, he was regarded as a ghost or god by the Yamato court.

"It seems the Snake Ghost King was once a member of Ghost King Wen Luo's army. He will seek revenge on the island nation's court out of past grudges..."

He began to think about these questions.

"that."

Hiiragi Hiruko also came over and explained to Hyakusuke, "I spoke with Mahouka, and according to him, there's currently no effective solution to the problem. I'm not sure what 'that' was that attached to you, but if you want to exorcise it, you have to return to Kamizakura's main shrine immediately and undergo a special ceremony."

"That probably won't work."

Baijie closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"We can't delay the rest of our journey. As long as we leave the maze, we can reach the Yuejialuo clan's old territory. Giving up before we even get there is not a good thing..."

He opened his eyes again and explained briefly, "Besides, if I leave, they'll have to allocate manpower and resources to send me back. That's not sending me back to the Ainu tribe, but back to Kasumi Castle. That would be a waste of precious manpower and resources.

Furthermore, this kind of expedition carries risks in itself. My current situation is not so bad that I risk my life, so there is no need to retreat now."

"That's a nice thing to say."

Renjo Senjuro sighed, "However, the final decision should be made by the leader of our team... Miss Ye Ming, what do you think?"

"I?"

Yue Jialuo Yeming was called, she was a little flustered and confused.

She glanced at Baijie with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

……what to do?
She was hesitant about the current situation.

Indeed, Ye Ming hopes that Baijie can return to Kasumi City as soon as possible to receive treatment at the Kamizakura headquarters.

However, she wanted to respect the other party's will more.

"Shall we let him stay?"

Ye Ming thought about it and had her own ideas in her heart, and then she expressed her thoughts.

"Since he's so insistent, I believe he has a good understanding of his situation. Furthermore, we really can't afford to reduce our numbers. Putting aside the manpower issue, food and supplies are also limited."

That’s right, everyone nodded in agreement.

Exorcists are human beings after all, and it is impossible for them to go without food and water. In this winter, when they make such a long journey deep into the mountains and wilderness, food and supplies are relatively limited, so they must consider these issues.

"However, at this stage, we should find a way to leave the maze, right?"

Baijie frowned.

"Miss Lilaila has been in a coma and we don't know how to wake her up."

"That guide girl is a little special. She seems unable to wake up for the time being."

Renjo Senjuro smiled bitterly and said, "At this stage, we are essentially trapped in this underground cave."

"Although we can use the 'Cursed Snake' to find a route to the surface, it is difficult to accurately find the exit to the back mountain of Yuejialuo's old territory."

The woman in black, Kong Chan, explained.

Her cursed snake discovered dozens of entrances leading to the ground, but it was unknown which one was the correct entrance to the back mountain.

"It would become a hassle to investigate one by one."

"Then, can we use techniques like memory detection or mind reading to find out the information in this little girl's mind?"

Saizo asked cautiously.

"It shouldn't be useful for someone who's already unconscious or nearly dead."

Renjo Senjuro shook his head.

He was not optimistic that this kind of method would be useful. Besides, there were no such professional practitioners here.

"Then let's try another approach."

Baijie put forward his own suggestions.

"Investigating her dreams might be a solution..."

"Investigating dreams?"

When Renjo Senjuro heard this, he also looked strange.
