Chapter 170 Yu Yan, the Inner Demon is Born (22)

——When was Chu Xuan replaced?
——Is it right at the entrance, or at a corner in the middle?

Although he was full of doubts in his heart, Zhuang Boshi did not dare to stop for a moment and kept running out.

After passing through nine stone doors, he finally returned to the entrance of the long and narrow passage.

This time, he had to stop because the original only dark passage had suddenly turned into nine.

The nine passages are exactly the same, even the subtle details of the stone carvings are as if copied and pasted without any errors or omissions.

What a joke!
When Zhuang Boshi heard the heavy footsteps behind him, he made up his mind and rushed into the passage on the far left.

But after the passage there is still a passage, and after the nine gates there are still nine gates.

In this space that was like an infinite maze, Zhuang Boshi had no idea how many doors he had passed through and how many roads he had walked.

Even though Zhuang Boshi was always calm, he felt his scalp tingling when he encountered such a situation.

But he didn't dare to stop for a moment. The surrounding environment had an increasingly serious impact on him, and some strange visual and auditory hallucinations began to intensify.

He even felt that he saw Chu Xuan again.

Huh? Chu Xuan!

Seeing the familiar figure leaning against the stone wall in front of him, Zhuang Boshi seemed to have a stress reaction. Without thinking, he slashed forward fiercely.

A few strands of severed hair drifted down slowly.

Chu Xuan turned his head, his poker face still expressionless, his eyes fixed on Zhuang Boshi: "Why did you attack me? Did you encounter another me?"

Zhuang Boshi stopped, but the spell condensed in his hand did not dissipate. He still stared at the man vigilantly from a distance.

Ordinary appearance, expressionless face, and glasses that always reflect light.

Hearing Chu Xuan's question, Zhuang Boshi did not lower his guard at all, and asked back: "What do you mean? Could it be that you know there will be another you?"

Chu Xuan did not answer directly, but kicked something over. Zhuang Boshi looked closely and found that it was another head of his own.

Good guy!
"When did it happen?" Zhuang Boshi pondered, but still did not move closer to Chu Xuan.

"As soon as we entered the main hall of the temple, many ghosts and evil spirits suddenly appeared and attacked us."

"I suggested evacuating the temple first, but you said you would cover the retreat."

"Then, there was an extra slash on my back." As he spoke, Chu Xuan left the stone wall and turned his body slightly to the side.

Zhuang Boshi looked carefully and saw a huge bloodstain on Chu Xuan's back, which stretched almost from his neck to his lower back. His skin and flesh were turned over and blood was blurred.

Even though he was seriously injured, this guy's expression didn't change at all.

Zhuang Boshi finally felt relieved, and he looked at his hideous head.

"By the way, how did you find out I was replaced? That fake of yours really gave me a hard time!"

Chu Xuan sneered and said, "These fake objects must be the unique magical creations of this temple."

"As soon as we entered, we were divided into two areas. As we went deeper into the temple, these fake creatures continued to draw strength from our overflowing emotions, becoming more and more like us."

"You didn't notice that when the fake creatures first entered the temple, they didn't communicate. As they went deeper, they became more and more like humans, even able to imitate our abilities."

"If we go back to the starting point, these fakes will become impoverished."

"Could it be that you didn't notice such an obvious loophole?"

What he said was so irritating, and it was becoming more and more true.

"No. If you had noticed it from the beginning, how could you have been injured by this fake?"

Chu Xuan looked at him as if he were an idiot: "In a head-on fight, I'm certainly no match for you."

"And enemies in plain sight are always better than enemies hiding in the dark."

"If we don't reveal their flaws first, how can we verify their disguise mechanism and judge their specific strength?"

"However, I did find some clues on this stone wall." Chu Xuan turned his head and looked at the stone wall: "There seems to be traces of the Four Gods here."

"Sauron depicted the process of accepting the gift on the stone wall. What an interesting experience. Is this the High Heaven?"

Zhuang Boshi was about to agree, but when he glanced down, he suddenly felt a chill and a chill ran through his head to his feet.

and many more!

He doesn't have the Lord God watch on his hand!
"What are you still worried about? Why don't you come over?" Chu Xuan had a strange expression on his face, a kind of weirdness he had never seen before.

Zhuang Boshi took two steps back and said as if nothing had happened: "Haha, I suddenly remembered that I dropped something just now."

"Ah, I have to go look for it. Don't bother you. I'll be leaving now."

But the "Chu Xuan" in front of him didn't, staring at him straight, opening his mouth: "What are you worried about, why don't you come over!"

It's still the same words, the same tone, the same voice.

And with this face, she looks even scarier than Kayako and Sadako.

Zhuang Boshi was sweating coldly. He looked even more terrifying than Sauron.

As if he noticed something was wrong with Zhuang Boshi, "Chu Xuan"'s voice did not show any emotion, but his face became more and more distorted.

“He found out.”

“He found out.”

It seemed like in the next second, a demon was about to tear off its disguise and burst out of this human body.

Suddenly, an electromagnetic cannon went straight through the chest of "Chu Xuan" in front of him.

He was directly hit in half at the waist, and the upper body of "Chu Xuan" fell to the ground, but he was not completely dead.

Instead, his mouth opened to a degree unimaginable to ordinary people, and he let out a shrill scream.

But the next shot, another electromagnetic cannon shot hit the head directly, smashing it to pieces.

"Your whole body is full of flaws, but you didn't even notice them. Haha, that's just the wisdom of a mortal." An indifferent voice sounded behind him.

The man with glasses walked out from behind Zhuang Boshi without even looking at him. He walked to the remains of the fake creature and squatted down to observe it carefully.

Zhuang Boshi's scalp tingled. Damn, how many Chu Xuans are there!
He was now like a frightened bird, and didn't dare to believe any Chu Xuan who suddenly appeared.

Chu Xuan pondered and said, "This fake was created using dissipated emotions, but it has some of the original owner's abilities. It doesn't seem like magic from the Lord of the Rings world, but rather the evil sorcery of the Warhammer world."

"Then we can speculate that there's an 80% chance that Sauron isn't the Sauron of Middle-earth, but has become a minion or carrier of the evil god." "The evil god used Sauron as an anchor, having him build a temple to connect the two worlds, thus truly invading the world of the Lord of the Rings."

"Well, that explains all the changes."

Facing the fourth Chu Xuan who appeared before him, Zhuang Boshi pressed his throbbing temple and pretended to be calm and said, "Chu Xuan, where on earth did you come from?"

He kept glancing at Chu Xuan with his peripheral vision, and when he saw the familiar watch on his wrist, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he did not go closer. Regardless of whether it was the real Chu Xuan or not, this place was too weird. Now that he had completed the mission, he had to leave as soon as possible.

"This place is like a maze, not a simple three-dimensional space. What you observe with your eyes and ears cannot be trusted." Chu Xuan sneered with his signature smile.

"You entered first and disappeared right before my eyes. Then I chased you in and met that 'Sauron'."

"His ability is too strange, and the environment has begun to affect me. I planned to withdraw from the temple first, but I was trapped in this maze." Chu Xuan answered simply, then stood up and carefully looked at the pattern on the stone wall.

"Wait, wasn't it you who opened the door?!" Zhuang Boshi looked at Chu Xuan suspiciously.

Another explanation: Could it be that I was caught the moment I saw the door?
"Haha." Chu Xuan sneered: "Stupid, I won't do such a risky thing."

"You were already influenced by the temple at that time. You couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion. You opened the door and walked in without even hearing my words of dissuasion."

"It turns out that we were already affected outside the temple. It's not advisable to stay here for long. Now that we have completed the mission, let's get out!" Zhuang Boshi patted his cheek to calm himself down.

I don’t know when, the whispers that had been lingering in my ears disappeared.

"Not only is space unreliable here, but even the perception of time may be problematic."

"We may have been here for more than two days." Chu Xuan continued, "Let's go, we need to move forward and leave here!"

"Okay."

Is two days so long? Zhuang Boshi suddenly thought of something, glanced at the Lord God Watch, and the expression on his face froze instantly.

At this moment, he also thought of what "Chu Xuan" had said before.

The longer they stay in this temple, the more human they will become.

They might be able to sense their own and Chu Xuan's memories, but there is one thing they cannot sense.

It’s the Lord God!

"What are you waiting for?" Seeing that Zhuang Boshi did not take any action, Chu Xuan turned his head and looked at him in confusion.

Zhuang Boshi was shocked, looked behind Chu Xuan, and shouted: "Sauron is coming!!"

Chu Xuan turned his head immediately, but there was nothing behind him.

Boom! A violent force hit Chu Xuan's waist and abdomen, nailing him directly to the wall.

What followed was an overwhelming storm of slashing attacks.

Seeing "Chu Xuan" almost cut into pieces, Zhuang Boshi didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

"When did you find out?" an indifferent voice sounded.

The fifth "Chu Xuan" walked out of the darkness, but this time, he did not pretend, but asked directly.

"My disguise should be entirely based on the 'Chu Xuan' in your memory."

"Chu Xuan's" poker face was like broken ceramics, falling piece by piece.

There was a strange change in the tone of his voice that he had never seen or heard before.

"It's very simple, because Chu Xuan can't be deceived by the illusion!" Zhuang Boshi kept retreating.

But behind him, a wall blocked his retreat.

Where the passage was supposed to be, a cold wall appeared at some point.

With "Chu Xuan" in front and a wall behind, there is no way to run away.

"Also, you said you've been here for more than two days, but the Lord's watch only shows thirty minutes have passed."

Zhuang Boshi could only gather his magical power and prepare to fight to the death with the thing in front of him.

"Then, could it be that I saw it wrong?" Beneath the ceramic fragments was a whirlpool of darkness.

The sound became increasingly strange, like a wail coming from a bottomless abyss.

"It's ridiculous! How could Chu Xuan make a mistake on such an obvious thing!" Zhuang Boshi sneered.

"The only reason is that you don't have the Lord's Watch at all!"

Sure enough, "Chu Xuan" raised his wrist, and the main god watch on his hand was dark, with no prompts at all.

"So that's how it is." Everything on "Chu Xuan"'s body shattered, revealing his true appearance, a tall shadowy figure burning with pitch-black flames.

"Sauron?!"

"When did you replace him? Where did my companion go?!"

"Sauron. No, I am not Sauron." A language he had never heard before sounded in his heart.

Although he had made sufficient preparations, the next sentence made his mental defenses completely collapse.

"And as an outsider, you actually consider the characters in the book to be your companions?"

Zhuang Boshi's face suddenly turned pale as paper, and the biggest secret in his heart was ruthlessly revealed.

The endless dark clouds made it impossible for him to breathe. He felt the ground was sinking and the entire space was spinning. He couldn't even stand.

"Who are you?" Zhuang Boshi rushed over.

But it was like passing through a phantom, and he could not touch the tall black shadow in front of him at all.

"I am the will of the Most High!"

"I'm Soren!"

"I'm Chu Xuan!"

"I am Zheng Zha!"

"I am everything!"

"I am your inner demon!!!"

No no no, impossible!
I only have a first-level gene lock, how could I possibly have an inner demon!!!
