From the end of the world

Chapter 254: Meeting No. Little Bowl Again
In my mind, the real identity of the Great Impermanence behind the Divine Spear might be the Wheel King, but now, the suspicion of Gua Tianshi is rising sharply.

Combined with the appearance of Dong Che, it is possible to assume that it was an arrangement made by Gua Tianshi to get close to us. In addition, Dong Che also had a mysterious interest in Ma Zao for some reason, which increased the doubts in my heart.

Do you want to use the fake Moon in the Water to test Dong Che? But now I can only use the fake Moon in the Water to enter the target's spiritual world. Judging from the feedback from the attempt on Ma Zao just now, it does not mean that as long as you enter the target's spiritual world, you can do whatever you want to him, or know everything about him directly. And even if Gua Tianshi is really the hostile Great Impermanence, if you test this result in Dong Che's spiritual world, you will only be caught by the hostile Great Impermanence again.

I won't be as lucky this time. I'm inclined to think that it's better to challenge the Great Impermanence after I fully release my power.

I also have to be prepared that the Gua Tianshi is not the hostile Great Impermanence. In that case, how can I determine the true identity of the hostile Great Impermanence? The figure of Lu Chan appeared in my mind.

Lu Chan is still under my surveillance. According to my observation, he seems to be under more than just my surveillance. There are also other people watching him secretly. So that's how it is. It seems that the two demon hunters and the forces behind them who I let go last time are not just for show. They can realize that I let Lu Chan go back with the intention of luring him.

Now I also have a route to ask Lu Chan for the answer directly. Since he is now the "political Lu Chan", he will naturally no longer work for the suspected supernatural Great Impermanence. He should be willing to tell me the true identity of the hostile Great Impermanence. Even if there are other forces monitoring and Lu Chan may be silenced, I can kidnap Lu Chan first and then ask him.

In fact, I was not quite sure how I should face Lu Chan. Since the past Lu Youxun was already mentally dead, there was no need for me to dwell on the grudges between him and her. However, considering the relationship with the young girl Lu Chan, I could not simply regard her as a stranger. Directly kidnapping Lu Chan to ask the truth would undoubtedly put him at the center of public attention, and I did not want to do that.

But since the clue of the sharpshooter's head has been abandoned, I have no choice but to re-examine this plan. After all, compared to the current Lu Chan, Ma Zao is definitely a hundred times more important to me.

Or, I can also improve my skills in using the fake moon in the water and use this magic item to get in touch with Lu Chan. If I enter the dream directly, it will probably be noticed by other forces secretly monitoring me, but if it is a technique like "transmitting messages with thoughts", it will be much more hidden. I specifically asked Ma Zao for advice, and she told me that this level of skill should only take half a day at most to master.

In addition, Ma Zao also told me that "telepathy" is a prerequisite skill for "mind synchronization", so it is not impossible to let Ma Zao and I synchronize our minds first, and then use the thermal energy mark I left in Lu Chan's body to pull Lu Chan into this consciousness network - or "chat group".

Just in case, I decided not to do it for now. I haven't figured out Lu Chan's attitude yet, and he is an expert in consciousness networks. Pulling him into the consciousness network where Ma Zao exists may have unknown risks. More importantly, I haven't figured out how to deal with the hostile Da Wuchang's perception of "someone investigating his information", and doing so will still put Ma Zao in danger.

Anyway, it only takes me half a day to learn how to telepathically, and I am also very interested in learning how to skillfully use the magic weapon, the fake moon in the water.

Controlling the five senses, hypnotizing and brainwashing, modifying memory... These skills sound really evil. If the enemy knows these skills, it will be disgusting. But if you ask me if I want to learn them if I have the chance, I definitely want to. These illusion techniques may come in handy in other aspects in the future, so I will learn them myself first.

Ma had already taught me the trick of using the fake moon in the water, and then I sat down at the desk and practiced it on my own. Now it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Unconsciously, I fell asleep.
-
I have no intention of sleeping.

Ma Zao and I just had a face-to-face encounter with the hostile Great Impermanence. Although the other party did not seem to have any intention of pursuing us, that was not a reason for me to be careless. In order to recuperate his soul, Ma Zao still needed to sleep regularly, and I planned to implement the policy of keeping vigil for a period of time in the near future, and would not consider sleeping until the hostile Great Impermanence was resolved.

And now I have actually entered a dream, which is a weird event no matter how you think about it.

In fact, I was indeed involved in some strange phenomena.

And this is a phenomenon that I have encountered several times in the past.

When I came to my senses, I was surrounded by a thick gray fog. Ma was no longer around, and this was no longer the same room as before. I had unconsciously changed from sitting to standing, standing in the endless gray fog, and my whole body became as black as a three-dimensional shadow.

After a long time, I was pulled into the virtual world.

Perhaps it shouldn't be said that it's been a long time since I was last pulled into the virtual world. It's just that too many things have happened during this period. Last time, the Lord of the Divine Seal asked us to collect fragments of the Divine Seal, but I didn't pay any attention to it at all - although in the end I did collect a new one.

I was almost familiar with this gray landscape with extremely low visibility. After slightly restraining my sighing thoughts, I took a step forward and headed deeper into the gray fog.

As always, I didn't know if the direction I was heading in corresponded to the rock seat area, but based on previous experience, I estimated that I would be lost in this gray fog for a while longer. Maybe I couldn't find the rock seat area by myself, and I had to rely on luck to meet another chosen person, and then I could follow the other person to find the correct route, just like before. However, the next change surprised me again.

This time, it didn't take a long time, nor did I rely on the companionship of other chosen ones. I felt like I had only walked alone for less than a minute before the rock seat area appeared in my sight.

There were still seven large rock chairs, and an extra-large rock chair on the opposite side. The huge statue of the Lord of the Divine Seal sat on the latter.

He propped his arms up on the armrests, supported his head with his fists, and appeared to be in a state of meditation with his eyes closed. Although he didn't seem to be breathing, he looked completely different from his initial lifeless temperament. Now he seemed to be ready to open his eyes and speak at any time. My arrival didn't seem to disturb him. I came to this area so quickly... I couldn't help but think of what No. 2 Xiaowan had said to me before.

She said that this foggy dream was like gradually accepting me, or I was gradually invading this foggy dream, so in the future I would be able to pass through the fog more and more easily.

Her prediction seemed to be correct.

I am an intruder of the virtual world. Although the Lord of the Divine Seal has recognized me as the chosen one, my position is still quite delicate. Since he has no intention of talking to me now, it is better for me not to interact with him first. I turned to observe other places. It is really embarrassing. Now except for the Lord of the Divine Seal, it seems that I am the only one here.

It's not possible that the Lord of the Divine Seal summoned me alone to the virtual world. Every time the virtual world summons us, it summons all of us at once, and this time will probably be no exception. The other chosen ones should arrive one after another. And I am the first one.

No, I soon realized that there seemed to be other people's presence in this space.

I walked slowly around the venue, and then I saw a very petite child sitting on the second rock chair from the left. Because the child was blocked by the big and thick chair back, and I couldn't use my superpowers here, I didn't notice him at the first time.

And the other party also saw me clearly at this moment.

"——Mr. Three?"

Small bowl No. 2 made a tender and crisp sound.

"It's me," I responded.

She suddenly became happy, jumped down from the rock seat, trotted towards me, and stood in front of me.

"Has anyone else been here just now?" I asked.

Since No. 2 Little Bowl arrived first, maybe others had arrived as well, but they were just hiding in the deep fog to discuss private topics just like No. 2 Little Bowl and I did before.

"I don't know. I just got here a short time ago."

Xiaowan No. 2 shook her head first, then looked at me very carefully. Her eyes moved all over me, as if trying to catch something that I couldn't notice myself.

I was also observing her carefully, and then asked, "How is your mental state now? Last time you said that you needed to sort out and digest the memories that suddenly came back to you. Is that over now?"

"I've digested it, Mr. Three," she said obediently. "Any questions you'd like to ask me?"

"Have."

I glanced at the Lord of the Divine Seal who was sitting far away, and thought of the other chosen ones who might arrive at any time, so I said to the second bowl, "According to convention, let's talk somewhere else first."

She nodded in cooperation and followed me into the depths of the fog.

Once I was out of sight of the rock seating area, I stopped moving and turned to look at her.

Now that the memory of Little Bowl No. 2 has been restored, the mystery that has been bothering Ma Zao can finally be solved.
