Chapter 1186 Trust Them More

"The outcome of each battlefield has almost been decided."

In the ruins of Raccoon City, the clone Chu Xuan suddenly spoke. The clone Zheng Zha beside him, who was resting with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes and asked, "What's the result?"

"One piece of good news, one piece of bad news."

The clone Chu Xuan's tone remained unchanged: "The bad news is that except for Tom, Luo Gandao, Fengshen, Alia, Sophia, Feng Luo, and Zhang Xiaoxue, all six of them were defeated by the members of the Zhongzhou team."

"And the good news is that the Zhongzhou team kept their promise and saved their lives."

"……I see."

After hearing the news, although the clone Zheng Zha was mentally prepared, he still felt an indescribable feeling of suffocation.

After a long while, the man let out a long breath and scratched his hair fiercely. He looked a bit like Zheng Zha: "Even with external help, our strength is still so far behind the Zhongzhou team..."

As a top-notch warrior, the clone Zheng Zha certainly knows that killing is easy, but capturing alive is difficult. In a life-and-death battle, it is very common to fail to hold back and accidentally kill the opponent, but capturing alive requires control of the battle situation and superior strength to the opponent... From now on, the gap between the Demon Team and the Zhongzhou Team is by no means a little bit.

“That’s the natural consequence.”

The clone Chu Xuan didn't care about the clone Zheng Zha's unspeakable feelings at all, and said bluntly: "You should know very well that 'his' power is not to directly remotely control other people's thoughts, nor is it like a puppeteer, manipulating a marionette to do something, but to influence other people's minds through the power of a higher dimension."

"The more obsessions, demands, and wishes you have in your heart, the more they will be magnified by his ability, and he will regard these thoughts as his own inner thoughts. People below the fourth level will not have the corresponding cognition at all, and they can't even think about having their thoughts remotely controlled and becoming pawns in the hands of others."

"Only when you have overcome your inner demons and realized your true nature, awakened the light of your soul, and found your own path, you can sense even the slightest trace of the existence of external forces... You should have felt this as early as in Resident Evil 2."

"...Oh, of course I know."

Hearing the words of the clone Chu Xuan, the clone Zheng Zha sneered: "If I hadn't broken through the fourth intermediate level in that battle, and if I hadn't faintly sensed my own destiny under the effect of the 'Gungnir' used by Yang Yun, and if there were too many deliberate coincidences in the dark, I would never have realized that there was such a behind-the-scenes mastermind behind us..."

The clone Zheng Zha wanted to say something, but seeing that there was only the clone Chu Xuan who knew him well, he lost interest in talking and just waved his hand, saying, "By the way, Tom is not okay either?"

"Logically speaking, as the captain of the Devil Team, he should be able to accommodate the most external forces. And his inner obsession is the same as his original intention, so the combat power he can exert should be far greater than before..."

"He can't win." The clone Chu Xuan answered without hesitation: "In fact, he has performed exceptionally well to be able to hold on until now."

"Is this so..."

Thinking of Tom's obsession, the clone Zheng Zha couldn't help but close his eyes: "...I just hope that you from the Zhongzhou team can keep your promise until the end."

"Don't worry, I will."...

"So, this is your plan, Chu Xuan."

Looking at the line after line of text appearing on the List of the Gods, and the clearly written actions that the Demon Team would take, as well as the so-called "plot" of them all breaking through their limits under the influence of their inner obsessions and fighting the Zhongzhou Team with all their might at all costs, no matter how stupid Zheng Zha was, he understood it at this time.

What kind of real deep hatred is there? The "final battle" in the eyes of others is just a plot set up by the two Chu Xuans, a drama... From the beginning, everything about the battle was within their expectations. The purpose is to trick "him" into giving them power, just like the "author's power" in Adam in the world of Chinese Paladin.

Perhaps in higher dimensions outside the main god space, the screenwriter behind the scenes does have the authority to modify the settings, because the curtain of the drama has not yet been opened at that time... But once the drama begins, the actors' performances will no longer be controlled by the "script"; as for the screenwriter himself, that is another matter.

"When did you two get in touch?"

"After Resident Evil 2."

Facing Zheng Zha's second question, Chu Xuan gently tapped his glasses, and it was not until then that Zheng Zha suddenly realized that this young man seemed to have never changed his glasses, which looked quite old, even one of the legs of the glasses was broken, and traces of glue could still be vaguely seen.

Originally, Zheng Zha thought that the glasses were a symbol of Chu Xuan’s nostalgia, carrying his memories... Now it seems that the thing is simply a communication tool for him to contact the clone Chu Xuan!

"...So you have been secretly communicating with your clone, right?" Zheng Zha looked at Chu Xuan speechlessly: "No wonder I felt something was wrong from the beginning... Including the plan of 'king vs king, soldier vs soldier', was it also the result of your joint discussion?"

"No, to be precise, I gave myself from the Demon Team a chance... a chance for all members of the Demon Team to challenge us under the fairest possible conditions."

Chu Xuan shook his head and denied Zheng Zha's statement: "You also know that the strength of the other members of the Demon Team is somewhat different from ours. Whether it is props, reinforcements, or external help from a higher level, outside the main god space, it is their freedom."

"This is the final battle, and it is a battle that allows cheating. If the members of the Devil Team can win, then I won't say anything... After all, I am him and he is me. Together we will both benefit, but apart we will both suffer."

"...Anyway, no matter who wins or what the result is, you will definitely make money, right?"

Yang Yun shook his head. Although he had roughly anticipated Chu Xuan's plan, when the mystery was finally revealed, he still let out a long sigh and asked a question that Zheng Zha also wanted to ask: "Chu Xuan, have you ever worried about other scenarios? What if the strength of the Devil Team exceeds expectations, or 'his' power is stronger than you thought..."

"Of course, but we won't lose."

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses and said, "I just trust my companions a little more than my other self in the Devil Team."

"That's all."
