Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!
Chapter 78 Searching for the Controller
After Su Bai finished talking with Lao Zhou outside, he went back inside. The house was still the same as before. He and Lao Zhou found a place to sit down.
Luo Zheng wasn't idle either. He called Huang Xiang aside and whispered something to her. No one knew what they were talking about, but Huang Xiang kept glancing at He Chuan and the others, so it was clear that they were discussing He Chuan and his group.
As for He Chuan, ever since he came out of the shower, his face had been sour. He found a place to sit down and didn't say a word, no one knew what he was thinking.
The two superhumans who were with him sat quietly beside him.
On the contrary, it was those ordinary people who looked around the house for a week.
Finally, he stood beside the table, staring at the corpse on it.
"How was this body disposed of? There's not a drop of blood."
"What's wrong with that? Maybe it was moved inside after it was dealt with outside."
"Why make it so clean?"
Someone asked a question, and the others fell silent.
Old Zhou recalled their previous encounter in another realm, where the flesh looked enormous, but shrank the next day.
He turned to Su Bai and whispered, "Do you think these bodies might suddenly shrink like they did in the second alternate realm?"
Su Bai said, "We'll know tomorrow."
Old Zhou laughed and said, "I'm quite looking forward to it, and I also want to see if these people will be scared."
Su Bai said, "They can even eat human flesh, what else could scare them?"
Although it is the end times and cannibalism is an unwritten rule, people still look down on those who survive by eating human flesh.
After finishing his conversation with Huang Xiang, Luo Zheng turned around and walked over to Su Bai and the others.
Luo Zheng sat down next to Su Bai: "I just spoke with Huang Xiang and asked her to communicate with He Chuan and find out about everyone's situation on his side."
Su Bai originally intended for Lao Zhou to ask, but now, without Lao Zhou even needing to ask, Luo Zheng has already begun to take action.
"What about He Chuan and his two partners?"
Luo Zheng paused for a moment, then said, "I know about He Chuan's situation. He's always worked at the observatory. After the strange event, he was hit by a meteorite, which gave him superpowers. His superpower is a sword. As for the two superpowered individuals with him, I don't know much about them. This is my first time meeting them. I'll go ask them about it later."
Su Bai said, "If this otherworld is the same as the second otherworld, then we only need to find the manipulator and the possessed person behind it among our people."
Ma Jun, Cheng Hua, and Zheng Ge were looking outside from the doorway, paying no attention to what was happening inside the house.
Luo Zheng glanced back at the three of them, then turned back to Su Bai and asked, "What's your take on Chen Hua's situation?"
Su Bai said, "I suspect he is the manipulator."
Luo Zheng's expression hardened: "Yes, we were wrong in the last alternate realm, and now we've entered the third one. We didn't follow the rules to open the alternate realm, and all of this is because of Chen Hua."
So, apart from Chen Hua manipulating things from behind the scenes to bring everyone in, there's no other reason why they entered the alien realm without those rules.
Su Bai said, "Chen Hua didn't directly attack us in the Otherworld, nor did he attack us outside of it. I'm still very curious about his purpose."
Luo Zheng said, "What else could it be for? Of course, it's to pursue immortality."
The second realm is for the purpose of achieving immortality, while the third realm is still for the purpose of sacrifice.
Both otherworldly realms contain content related to life, death, sickness, and aging.
"So, was Chen Hua possessed, or is he himself?"
It was Lao Zhou who asked the question.
Luo Zheng couldn't understand this and looked at Su Bai.
Su Bai said, "The real Chen Hua should have died in that other realm long ago."
Luo Zheng said, "Yes, if we didn't come out by breaking through the barriers, how could an ordinary person just walk out of the strange realm? At the beginning, Chen Hua said that he found the exit and came out, and we were fooled."
They believed such an easy lie.
At this point, Luo Zheng's face was full of sarcasm: "We were too easily fooled. It's a pity Hei Zi is dead, otherwise he might have known what Chen Hua was up to."
Yes, after Chen Hua came out of the otherworld, he went straight to Hei Zi, and the two even had an argument.
The past cannot be undone, and Su Bai doesn't want to think about it; he only focuses on the present.
Since Chen Hua is the manipulator, there must be a body-snatcher among them. Only after the body-snatcher appears can the conflict between him and Chang Hua be extinguished.
This is also the only way to get out of this strange place.
However, how exactly the person who was possessed became the possessed person is still unknown.
However, having experienced the second time in another realm, Su Bai understood that he would only be possessed under special circumstances.
Su Bai's gaze swept across the room, observing each person's every move.
When Su Bai's gaze inadvertently met that of the thin, dark-skinned man next to He Chuan, the man didn't look away. Instead, he provocatively raised his chin at Su Bai.
In the past, the other person would have disdainfully looked away, but today, his attitude was clearly very wrong.
Su Bai then thought of He Chuan's fall and the slap He Chuan gave the man.
"What are you looking at? Did that black monkey annoy you again?"
Old Zhou's voice rang in his ears. As for the black monkey he mentioned, Su Bai was stunned for a moment before realizing who he was talking about.
"The name is quite descriptive."
Old Zhou said, "I'm being polite by giving it this name."
Su Bai smiled and looked at Luo Zheng: "What's that person's name?"
Luo Zheng didn't turn around, but he knew who the two people were talking about: "Li Ning, as for his superpower, it should be that he's stronger."
Su Bai nodded.
"Is he a possessed person?"
Su Bai said to Luo Zheng, "No, I'm just a little curious about him. Didn't you notice that his attitude towards He Chuan was very strange?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Zheng turned around and glanced in that direction, only to find that Li Ning was also looking in their direction.
Luo Zheng frowned and looked away.
"He's quite protective of He Chuan. He wasn't angry even after being slapped by He Chuan, and he even helped He Chuan in to take a shower."
Old Zhou's body stiffened for a moment: "I remember now, it was he who suggested that He Chuan go inside and find a place to wash up."
He recalled what Su Bai had told him before: one must purify oneself before the sacrifice.
Old Zhou's gaze toward Li Ning also became serious.
There must be something wrong with this person. He encouraged He Chuan to take a shower. Could he be the one manipulating things?
