Chapter 579 The real mastermind

Next to the butcher's body, in the dark fog, Luo Jun reached out and grabbed a thick, solid-looking outline, grinning and sneering, "You finally showed up!"

The moment it was caught, the black mist seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then it surged wildly trying to break free. As a result, Luo Jun sent a mental shock to it, which made it tremble all over, and gradually the outline of a human being appeared.

But the black shadow still did not intend to give up, and actually raised his hand to attack Luo Jun in the face.

Luo Jun looked at the fist made of black mist, smiled slightly, raised his free hand, and slapped the black shadow!
Snapped!
The crisp sound of slaps echoed throughout the conference room. Assistant Xiao He covered his cheek and looked at Luo Jun in astonishment, who was holding his arm.

"Why, are you surprised?" Luo Jun looked at him with a smile: "I didn't expect that when my consciousness was in the illusion, I could still perceive the situation in reality?"

As he spoke, Luo Jun showed a look of realization:

"That's right. Normally, the only one who can enter and exit the illusion at any time and pay attention to the situation in both illusion and reality at the same time is you, the illusion maker."

After hearing what Luo Jun said, Assistant He's eyes gradually changed from surprise to coldness: "When did you find out about me?"

Luo Jun smiled slightly and said, "I said I just discovered it, do you believe me?"

"Just now?" Assistant Xiao He frowned.

Luo Jun laughed and said, "Given the characteristic of this butcher that he becomes stronger the more he kills, the illusion can completely improve the butcher to a level that we cannot resist by letting the monsters kill each other. However, such a convenient method is not used by the illusion. This shows that the evolution of this butcher must have its limits... The most reasonable guess is that this function can only be activated if it is killed by humans involved in the illusion!"

"Then it doesn't make sense that the Butcher could evolve even though he was killed by my projection. That's because I didn't enter the illusion at that time. The one who killed the Butcher was just a simulation of the illusion. My imagination was essentially an illusion monster."

"So, I have a guess. That is, the me in the illusion at that time was also a person who entered the illusion. He just used the illusion to disguise himself as me. And the only one who can do this is the owner of the illusion, that is, the creator!"

"This shows that although the illusion was constructed by Han Guoli's power, there is a living person behind the scenes who controls everything!"

Assistant He was surprised, and then he said with sincere admiration: "You have guessed so much information based on just these few clues. You are really not simple. But I still don't understand, how did you know that this owner is mine?"

"I've said before that I wasn't sure until I caught your hand." Luo Jun smiled and said, "On the surface, the illusion was released by Han Guoli, and the only people who could be drawn into it were those in the conference room. But in fact, we don't know who Han Guoli had contact with before, or whether he had been planted with an illusion. If it's an illusionist with a high enough level of skill, such as the source of this weird laughter, it's entirely possible that he could remotely control Han Guoli to cast an illusion."

"So, I'm not sure if the real mastermind is in this conference room." Luo Jun smiled and looked at Assistant He: "In a normal illusion, if someone dies in the illusion, they will really die. But based on previous experience, the illusion deliberately extinguished everyone's centering candle. I speculate that the candlelight of the centering candle suppresses the effect of the illusion on the body. As long as we are illuminated by the candlelight, this guy can't really hurt us."

"So, although this illusion may seem dangerous, it is actually safe as long as the candles are still burning. So, this last candle of mine must be extinguished by the mastermind behind this!"

"The previous methods of extinguishing the candle were to completely control the candle's owner and let him extinguish it himself. As for the method of control, it was probably to use a butcher or some other mechanism to kill the candle's owner."

Luo Jun said with a smile: "So, I choose to fight the butcher here. As long as this guy can't kill me, the mastermind behind this will appear in some form sooner or later."

"You are so confident in your own strength?" Assistant He frowned and asked, "How dare you challenge a monster that can evolve infinitely?"

"Infinite?" Luo Jun laughed and said, "There is no real infinity in this world, let alone a small illusion. The enhancement of this monster must be limited. With my mental strength, my power in the illusion is incredibly strong. I don't believe this monster can evolve beyond me!"

As he spoke, Luo Jun shook his head: "But I really didn't expect that the way the mastermind extinguished the candles was to reach out and steal... I originally thought that it was really some powerful person who controlled everything remotely, but I didn't expect it to be so close. So it seems that I overestimated your ability."

"What if I am also controlled by the mastermind?" Xiao He suddenly showed a pitiful expression. However, Luo Jun didn't buy it at all and sneered: "If I am the mastermind, I won't just control a little assistant sitting opposite. Ling Xin is much stronger than you in real life, and she is sitting next to me. Her success rate in extinguishing the candle is much higher than yours!"

"Haha, what a clever kid." Xiao He, whose conspiracy was exposed, laughed in anger: "But you are still too naive. Once you are provoked, you talk endlessly about your reasoning process...Aren't you curious why I am willing to talk to you about this?"

"It's just to delay time!" Luo Jun laughed, "One minute in reality may be several hours in the illusion. You have attracted my attention to reality, so you can take the opportunity to cause trouble in the illusion, right?"

"You actually knew that?" Assistant He finally panicked: "Then why are you still chatting with me?"

"Who said I was just chatting?" Luo Jun smacked his lips. "You are multitasking. You just released some black mist and left it alone. Your basic skills are not solid enough..."

"What?" Thinking of this, Assistant Xiao He immediately focused her attention on the illusion and found that there were seven neatly arranged beds in the hospital lobby, on which lay seven classmates of Zhuge Huang and Luo Jun. They were all sleeping peacefully and their mental states were very stable. As the controller of the illusion, she could feel that these people had almost cut off their connection with the illusion!

At the same time, her own illusionary incarnation was held down by a man and a woman. The man had wings of light on his back, as if he was an angel from the divine world, and the woman had an evil temperament, as if she was a succubus from hell. She wanted to get away, but found that the power of these two people was very strong, especially the woman, who possessed extremely strong mental power and illusion attainments, and had extremely high authority in the environment!

"How could this happen..." Assistant Xiao He was completely stunned...

"So, I'm waiting for help, what are you waiting for?" Luo Jun in reality grabbed the other person's wrist and smiled slightly.

"I...I..." Assistant He's eyes were almost burning with fire. He suddenly jumped up from his seat, pulled out a dagger from the treasure box, and stabbed Luo Jun straight in the face!

She had read the information and knew that this student had only been exposed to Yuan Qi for a short time. Although he had good talent and mental strength, his foundation was very weak and close combat should be his weakness!

Although she is an illusionist, she has been in the state of condensing her mind for many years and has a solid foundation. She is rich in practical experience and has also practiced close combat. At such a close distance, it is more than enough for her to defeat a novice of the elemental school who is also not good at close combat!
However, before she could stab with her dagger, she felt a strange force on her wrist, causing her body to fall uncontrollably onto the table.

With a thud, Xiao He fell to the ground, and just as she was about to get up, Luo Jun's mental shock directly hit her head. With Xiao He's illusionist mental power, Luo Jun's shock would not burn her brain, but she was inevitably unconscious for a while, and naturally could not continue to maintain the operation of the illusion. As for the others, with the help of the centering candle light and Lilith, they had also completed the cut-off from the illusion, and as the illusion ended, they naturally withdrew.

However, it is a high-level environment after all, and it is not easy to escape by force. They still need to pay a certain price... For example, falling asleep for a few hours.

After finishing all this, Luo Jun finally felt relieved. He placed the calming candle on the table, walked to the door, opened the door of the conference room, and called the staff of Yuan Xiu Society.

The experience in the illusion sounds lively, but in reality only a few minutes have passed. When the laughter just broke out, Zhuge Huang warned the people outside to close the door and not come in. They all obeyed the order and did not dare to open it. Now seeing the door open so quickly, several people were shocked.

"Solution... solved?"

Luo Jun nodded and pointed at the unconscious people in the conference room: "Everything is fine now. The problem lies with Assistant He. Lock her up and interrogate her. As for the others, do they need some sleep?"

"Assistant He? Is there a problem?" The staff couldn't believe it and some were hesitant whether to listen to the student's one-sided story.

"It seems that you can't make up your mind either. Don't you have someone in charge?"

"We have just contacted other professors, and they are rushing here..."

In the [supernatural] Puhua University, the title of professor is only awarded to the most powerful explorers, who have extremely high authority here.

"It's OK if a professor comes." Luo Jun nodded. At this moment, a staff member in front of him suddenly showed surprise: "Eh? Assistant He, are you awake?"

"What did you say?" Luo Jun frowned when he heard his words, and then he heard the familiar voice behind him: "Oh, it's okay, there's a misunderstanding, I have something to say to classmate Luo Jun..."

This sound... is indeed...

Luo Jun turned around and found that Assistant He, who was supposed to be unconscious, was standing upright behind him, looking at him with a smile.

Luo Jun frowned, raised one foot, closed the door of the conference room, and tilted his head to remind: "No matter what you hear, don't come in."

"You seem very alert?" Assistant He lifted his hair and smiled, "We have obviously met so many times before."

"No... This is the first time we meet." Luo Jun shook his head: "You are not Assistant Xiao He, you are just borrowing her body to talk to me... something."

"You're very perceptive." Assistant He couldn't help but applaud. "Originally, I just wanted to use the laughter to collect more souls, but I didn't expect to find someone as interesting as you."

"It would be a pity for such a talent to stay in Yuan Xiu Hui, why not follow me?"

"Hang with you?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows: "Okay, how can I find you?"

"You didn't even ask about my identity?" Assistant He smiled and shook his head: "You are so insincere..."

"So what if I know." Luo Jun shrugged his shoulders: "This is my first time in [Spiritual], I am unfamiliar with the place, even if you tell me your name, I won't know it."

"That makes sense." Assistant He nodded. "It's easy to find me. As long as you stay in this world for more than half a year... No, with your mental strength, it will probably take at least a year. Once you are completely accepted by this world and can feel the beauty and warmth of this world, you will have become our companion, and we will naturally accept you."

"You are indeed a polluter." Luo Jun smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, I still want to be a human being."

"Pollution is just your stigmatization of us." Assistant He shook his head and said, "We look no different from you. For example, this Xiao He, she actually became a polluter two months ago, but before that, did any of you notice anything different about her?"

"We just have different positions and different ideas. To think that all polluters are bad people and that we must be eliminated is itself a form of prejudice."

Assistant He took a step closer to Luo Jun and said, "To put someone to death just because they are different, I think this is the ultimate evil."

"Aren't you the same?" Luo Jun asked back, "I have met more than one polluter, and they all don't want me to live."

"Haha, you are indeed an interesting guy. I like you more and more." There was a hint of charm in Assistant He's laughter, but it had no effect under Luo Jun's iron will.

"It's really flawless." Assistant He shook his head: "Interesting and boring... But you are not without weaknesses, for example..."

As he spoke, Assistant He turned around and looked at the students who were still sleeping behind him.

"You dare!" Luo Jun took a step forward and stood in front of Assistant He, while releasing a terrifying pressure: "I don't care who you are, if you dare to touch my friends, I will not let you go even if I turn the [Supernatural] upside down!"

"Oh, so scary." Assistant He took a step back and patted his chest. "But you seem to be worried about the wrong people... There are more than just these few friends who came to [Supernatural] with you, right?"

Luo Jun frowned slightly. At this time, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that the caller ID was...

Sun Xiaowei!
