The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 484: Fair Arthur (asking for monthly ticket)
what?
Christina?
Damn it, is it true?
Hearing what the other party said, Xu Shu was stunned.

Although he was mentally prepared, based on the existing information, he guessed that there was a high probability that two memories were fused in Gu Yueming's body.

But he never expected that this newly added memory was actually related to the ruins he had recently returned to, 'The Ruins of the Dead', and it was so closely related to him!
It is well known that Christina is also a woman who serves as the "mother" in Xu Shu's legendary career. Although she is not Xu Shu's biological mother, her relationship with him is much deeper than that with the so-called biological mother like 'Airi Kijima'.

The latter can be said to be only related by blood, but are almost enemies emotionally.

However, it was Christina who raised Arthur single-handedly, participated in more than 90% of his life, even including "delivery", and provided 100% of maternal love.

In this way, the previous discovery that something was wrong with Gu Yueming could naturally be explained.

No wonder Gu Yueming was the first to notice the existence of the biological mother body when he arrived at Arthur’s first hometown.

It turned out that she was another member of that small family. She knew that house much better than himself, and it was not that she suddenly gained extraordinary perception!

This is really the case of every generation having a mother, and every generation of stepmother kills the biological mother.

But, could she be lying?

Xu Shu stared at Gu Yueming vigilantly, and took a look at the Taichu Volume to see if there were any clues.

The latter had a rather speechless and ineffective sentence: [Gah! It's your mother!]

"..."

Helplessly, Xu Shu could only judge and think for himself, and soon came to a conclusion.

Now that he had a firm grasp on the opponent's weakness and leverage, Gu Yueming would not dare to lie;

And even if I wanted to lie, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that I lied at the right time. My aunt doesn't look like she knows that I know Christina.

So, this should be true.

In other words, my aunt has now become "my mother"...

Xu Shu's eyes were complicated, and he felt it was really difficult to comment.

However, it seems very strange. When was Gu Yueming possessed?
According to Gu Pan, Gu Yueming's problem did not occur after they entered the ruins, but had existed long before. It happened when they had just left area D8B3.

In other words, Christina had already left the ruins... Wait! She was taken away by Jizo, and the Jizo appeared in the wasteland of D8B3 area.

What is quite "coincidental" is that Gu Yueming, Gu Pan and others also happened to encounter Dizang! And they were trapped in the other party's illusion for several days!

In other words, it is very likely that Christina has actually been in love with Gu Yueming since then!
hiss……

"Shit! No wonder He treated me so strangely. He even gave me Lance's crystal as a gift before he left. Could it be that He recognized me as 'Arthur'?!"

"Could it be that placing Christina on Gu Yueming was also His backup plan?"

"What does He want to do?"

"Since you recognized me, why didn't you just tell me directly?"

"What is His purpose?"

"Did he have anything to do with the abyss invading the D8B3 area and causing the fall of the Star Tower?"

Xu Shu's mind was full of mysteries.

【According to the famous principle “knowing more equals knowing less”, after some brainstorming, you find that there are indeed more mysteries in your mind. 】

[In that case, why not just ask the magical Jizo? ]

[Look, you have mastered His complete blessing, there are traces of Him left here, and there are even a large number of living people around that can be used as your sacrifice.]

[As the saying goes, it is better to do it now than today! Pull out Ksitigarbha and give him a good beating! ]

The Taichu Volume provides quite constructive suggestions.

Xu Shu's eyes narrowed, and he felt the same way.

Ever since he entered the ruins and obtained those Buddhist characters, he had the idea of ​​communicating with 'Ksitigarbha' through sacrifice.

But of course it couldn't be here.

Who doesn't know that communicating with evil gods is full of unknown dangers?
Of course, this kind of thing can only be done after we return to the safe zone, within the closest range of the Star Tower, and then by capturing a wave of death row prisoners as sacrifices!

By then, even if there is any unknown danger, he can end the sacrifice early at any time.

It is impossible for any evil god to do anything under the eyes of the array. They don't even dare to fully reveal their true identity. They can only secretly bestow some so-called will or "gift" to the believers.

It depends on whether the believers are willing and proactive in accepting it in order to complete the gift.

For a moment, Xu Shu had a bold idea and a seemingly complete plan in his mind.

And at the same time.

Gu Yueming lowered his head like a quail, gritted his teeth, and nervously glanced at Xu Shu's expression.

When I saw the other person's eyes changing from puzzled to murderous, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It's bad! He really couldn't accept this matter, he was very dissatisfied, and seemed to want to kill me!

Yes, I have to save myself... What should I do... But I can't escape... It's over, I'm dead now, but I almost found Arthur's whereabouts...

Gu Yueming was filled with despair and looked pitiful, just like a down-and-out girl who was caught stealing in a supermarket, waiting for the punishment from the evil shop owner.

At this time, she finally heard the other party's voice.

"When did it happen? Tell me in detail. I will kill you if you delay." Xu Shu asked calmly.

As expected, his attitude towards me became so cruel... Gu Yueming clenched his fists, took a deep breath and said, "I come from a world that should be called a ruin, which is the place we just went to in Sigaoling.

"About a month ago, our three Hunter Associations sent newcomers to investigate anomalies on the border. It was a mission, but it was actually training.
"During this period, we unfortunately fell into a secret place and encountered irresistible and unimaginable terrible events. We fell into a certain cycle, which you also know."

Xu Shu nodded: "Well, continue, let's get to the point. You said you are a ghost, how did you enter Gu Yueming's body?"

Gu Yueming paused and said, “When she was trapped in the secret realm, she was seriously injured in an accident and was about to die.

"At this time, I heard a voice telling me that I could leave. In order to prevent her from dying completely and to leave here, I secretly entered this body.

"This restored her body, which was about to collapse, and I also gained a lot of memories. For a long time, I thought I was Gu Yueming. I forgot my original identity and acted according to my instincts... Well, that was when we returned to the city together."

Gu Yueming paused again and looked at Xu Shu shyly.

Xu Shu said expressionlessly: "Go on."

Gu Yueming's expression froze: "Until more than half a month ago, I gradually woke up and recalled my original identity and mission. I need to follow some guidance from the unknown to find something.

"Her soul is still in the same shattered and dying state as before. Because it was severely damaged, it is still waiting to wake up. Given time, there is still a chance for it to recover..."

While speaking, "Gu Yueming" tried hard to choose his words and observed Xu Shu's expression from time to time.

This was not a lie, what she said was true.

It's just that she made some modifications in the way of expression, making things seem not so cruel, and not simply "occupying the mountain as king", but more like a helpless act, something done with good intentions but wrong.

"Things were originally bad, but I executed them well."

This is what Gu Yueming, no, Christina wanted to express.

In her opinion, since Xu Shu has a deep relationship with Gu Yueming, this will most likely become her bargaining chip for survival - I don't want to actively harm your aunt, on the contrary, it is because of me that she can survive. If she kills me, she will definitely die; but if she keeps me, she still has hope of recovery!
Christina didn't know that Xu Shu had already narrowed his eyes quietly at this moment.

As someone who had experienced soul fusion, he immediately saw the problem in Gu Yueming's description and saw through her little plan.

Sometimes she described Gu Yueming as 'we', sometimes as 'she', and sometimes as 'I'. It seemed as if her perspective was confused, and she did not seem to have a very clear understanding of her own situation.

It looks like two memories mixed together, giving people an illusion of "chaotic, confusing, and I can't tell the difference."

But in fact, Xu Shu could tell at a glance that the person in front of him was Christina who "possessed Gu Yueming's body + memories".

The real Gu Yueming is probably, as she said, with her soul in a dormant state.

Although he is not completely dead, he is half on the verge of death and there is little hope of reviving him.

The reason why people think Gu Yueming is not dead is, of course, because she is a transcendental person of the "doctor" path, and her "Nirvana Embryo" is still alive.

After all, Christina is not the real Gu Yueming, and she lacks true understanding of the mastery of memory. Therefore, she does not know that Nirvana's Xuantai is the doctor's true life. As long as the Xuantai is still there, the doctor is still alive. The only difference is the state of being alive.

Therefore, Gu Yueming and Christina are essentially two souls, except that the latter read the memory of the former.

“No wonder she doesn’t feel close to Gu Pan at all, because she only copied the memories but didn’t get the corresponding “emotions”, which is different from me.

“This is unlike me. Although I can clearly distinguish between ‘past life memories and present life memories’, when I see my adoptive parents and sister, I feel the warmth of family love from the bottom of my heart. This is called a state of both fusion and separation.

"And Christina is pure stripping..."

Xu Shu thought silently in his mind, and after just a few words, he came to a clear judgment through his own vision.

But this is difficult.

According to common knowledge, in this case, Christina is essentially a "ghost". The possession of a body by a ghost, or the reincarnation of a body, is a typical "external demon", similar to the Taoist concept of "taking over a body".

Although Christina's possession state is quite close, even reaching the state of obtaining the original body's memory and almost achieving the unity of body and soul, so that she will not even be considered an evil spirit by the Star Tower, this is not the right way at all, and is an unexpected existence that must be killed.

Otherwise, they will be kept as slaves.

But that's the problem.

Judging from Christina's words, in reality, it is she who spends more time with him and has deeper feelings with him, rather than Gu Yueming, the "original body".

Of course, the situation is exactly the opposite for Gu Pan.

This is a difficult decision.

Moreover, if he were to "redeem" her now and insist on restoring Gu Yueming's innocence and justice, Gu Yueming would most likely not survive, and he would once again "lose his own mother due to carelessness".

Because the independent Yin spirit appeared outside, Christina could no longer enter the border and could only wander in the wasteland like other monsters, otherwise she would be greeted by the Star Tower's general attack...

Well, based on my understanding of the "Doctor" path, I can at least reach the peak of the third level and achieve the perfect state of the "Player of Life" stage. At this time, I can let Christina leave Gu Yueming's body, and the latter can be resurrected on the spot through the "Nirvana Embryo".

Afterwards, he could find a new body for Christina, who was an evil spirit; or he could simply become Gu Yueming's "soul ring".

As a "playmaker", one can nurture and protect three or more Yin spirits at the same time.

In fact, a safer option is to wait for her to advance directly to "Lord of Abundance" and then separate them, but this seems too difficult.

How many people have ever dreamed of becoming a demigod? Too many people have died on this single-plank bridge.

On the contrary, becoming a top "actor" has great hope as long as there are enough resources, and it is a foreseeable goal.

By then, Christina will be able to become independent, and Gu Yueming will not die, so Teacher Pan and her aunt can reconcile.

Before that, let them continue to blend together, playing both aunt and mother, and become little "aunt" on the scene...

Xu Shu looked around and made a relatively fair and reasonable choice.

After a little thought, he turned his eyes, looked at the other person, and said calmly: "I know, you are Gu Yueming now."

"Eh? Didn't I make myself clear enough? Actually, I..." Christina was confused and seemed to want to argue.

However, Xu Shu interrupted and said, "Okay, that's how it is. There's no need to talk about it anymore. I'll be the peacemaker over there. Now I have two requests of you."

"Ah? Well, then tell me." Christina looked at Xu Shu with complicated eyes. She was not sure whether Xu Shu understood it or not.

But no matter what, the current result seems not bad for me!

Xu Shu continued, "First, you need to pay attention to your attitude towards Gu Pan. Since you are like mother and daughter, you must fulfill your duties as a mother and stop being so distant with her."

"Okay, okay."

Although she didn't know the purpose of doing this, Christina still agreed and asked curiously, "What about the second one?"

"Second..."

Xu Shu chuckled, wondering whether he should ask her to guess who he was, then reveal Arthur's identity, and then have the "mother and son reunite" or something.

But after thinking about it, he always felt that something was wrong.

He was confident that once they recognized each other, Christina would definitely follow him.

But in this case, wouldn’t we fall into the trap of “Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva”?

I don’t know whether He has any ill intentions or what He wants to do!

After a brief thought, Xu Shu turned and said, "You mentioned earlier that there is a mysterious existence guiding you to find something?"

“This…” Christina’s eyes were complicated. After hesitating for a while, she made up her mind and said, “In fact, I once had an adopted son. He was also an undead in a similar state to me. I came to this ruins to find him.

"That mysterious existence will guide my path and let me meet my son. Unfortunately, I seem to have missed it this time."

Xu Shu: “…”

Wow, goodness, you’re here to see me!
Is there a possibility that you did not miss it and your son is right in front of you?
Xu Shu thought about it with amusement and felt slightly touched.

Even though it's just a legendary life, it's not in vain that I love her!

However, despite this, Xu Shu still resisted the urge to meet Christina directly.

No matter what, he must not easily bring disaster upon himself before he finds out the purpose of 'Bianwei Dizang'.

Moreover, it sounds like "Ksitigarbha" is also looking for Arthur through Christina?
In other words, He did not recognize that Arthur was actually me in the wasteland.

Haha, the Taichu volume is still reliable...

Xu Shu muttered a few words in his heart.

But Christina was still a little nervous.

She didn't dare to ask questions, so she could only wait silently.

As time passed, Christina felt delighted as a powerful force seemed to emerge in the void and pull her.

Based on the memories and knowledge that she had already mastered, she immediately reacted and realized that the duration of the 'Heart Fire Incense Burner' had finally ended. Under the protection of the formation, she would return directly from the ruins to the temporary platform.

When the time comes, I will take the Star Tower plane and leave this place directly, and will never meet him nearby.

If I delete him as a friend, then no matter what he does, he won’t be able to find me!

Christina felt nervous, but for some reason she hesitated when she thought about deleting Xu Shu. It seemed that she had a strong resistance deep in her heart, as if she was reluctant to part with Xu Shu.

She didn't know why she always had a strong attachment to Xu Shu. After all, she relied on her reason to overcome her inner resistance and decided to do this.

I don't think the other party would choose to explode with me just for this reason, right?

Wait until I find my son in the future, and we’ll talk about other things later!

Whoosh!
Two fist-sized space channels were gradually expanding in front, one pointing to Xu Shu and the other pointing to Christina.

Not far away, the same thing happened to Lu Bingwei, who was calmly killing monsters. A halo appeared and formed a connection between her and Jiang Biyun.

She clasped her fists to Lu Bingwei, Yan Huoxing and the "Evil Apostle" Ai Li who came to join them later, indicating that she was about to leave.

At this time, Christina on the other side was excited and eager to try.

Here it comes! Here it comes! I can run soon!

Once I leave these ruins, I will be like a bird flying into the sky or a fish entering the sea, and I will no longer be bound by this!

At this time, Xu Shu suddenly said, "Hey, given your temper and personality, you won't contact me after you leave, so I'll just keep an eye on you."

"Ah? What? What do you mean by poke a hole?" Christina was stunned for a moment. She was embarrassed that her little plan was exposed by Xu Shu, and she was also afraid that he would suddenly attack her.

The next second, before the expanding aperture swallowed him at the same time, Xu Shu was quick to take out Arthur's remaining soul from the storage bag and pressed it against the coccyx behind his aunt's waist.

Mushroom!

When Arthur's remaining spirit encountered a living person, his instinct was immediately triggered, and he broke through the tight skin on the spot and merged into it.

"Gu! You you you...what did you do??!"

Christina felt as if something cold had invaded her body, and she shivered uncontrollably.

Xu Shu chuckled and said, "Secret, dare you delete me as a friend?"

"Me?" Christina's legs went weak. She felt embarrassed and angry. She could barely stand, as if she was under tremendous pressure.

At the same time, in the void, the Taichu Scroll unfolded.

In front of Xu Shu's eyes, golden light flashed, and a line of small words appeared:
[Great Master, you have successfully established a beacon connection: The Ruins of the Dead · Arthur—(Gu Yueming)! ]

The next second, both of them disappeared into the void at the same time.

At this moment, Lu Bingwei, who was watching Jiang Biyun leave, sensed a fleeting breath, her eyes suddenly widened, and she quickly soared into the sky, turning her head to look around, searching.

"How is it possible..."

"The breath of the Spirit King!"

“Why did it appear here too?”

Lu Bingwei didn't have time to identify where the breath came from. After finally seeing a little bit, she found that the target had disappeared into the gradually closing space vortex.

At the other end of the space, only vaguely visible, is a mysterious incense burner shining with golden light, illuminating peacefully.
