Chapter 99: Moving Forward

“The Blood Demon House will pull the consciousness of the sleeping person into a shared dream, where they will complete the escape and killing activities. After the activities are over, the person will wake up from the dream. In other words, the Blood Demon House has a process of extracting the spirit from the body and then putting it back into the body.

I took advantage of this loophole and escaped from the Blood Demon's House. Of course, not only my soul escaped, but also my consciousness and the forbidden objects on my body. This is related to my special abilities.

But your problem is that you will soon be possessed by the person in the Death Note, and this is the final location he has arranged."

Xia Shou's pupils shrank slightly. He sat on the steps silently, searching for a feeling in his heart.

In the face of an absolutely realistic illusion, there is no way to break through it with logical thinking. At this time, the only option is to gamble.

Edward continued, "You must have some suspicions yourself, right? The predecessor in the Death Note has impure motives.

In fact, the verification method is very simple. Now you just need to turn around and go down the tower with me. I will leave the Lighthouse of Fear with you. After you walk out of the lighthouse, you will know that I am a real person, not an illusion.

And if I am hallucinating, you just need to come up again. This time no one will use this reason to deceive you, and it won’t take you much time. "

Edward paused, and said seriously and sincerely: "Please don't go any further. If you continue to go up, you will die. This will also be a huge disaster for countless other innocent ordinary people. You can't imagine how evil the soul in the notebook you hold is."

After listening to this, Xia Shou stood up again.

"It's terrible. I'm going to keep going up."

"Wait! Are you crazy? Wasn't what I said clear enough? I will go down with you and leave this tower! As long as we leave this tower, you will know whether I am hallucinating or not. Even if I am really hallucinating, you just need to challenge it again.

You have seen the archives of this place, right? This place allows repeated challenges."

"I just suddenly realized why this place is so difficult to climb. The name of this [Lighthouse of Fear] was wrong from the beginning." Xia Shou smiled, "It should be called [Tower of Retreat]."

He had seen through the strategy of the Fear Beacon, presenting an extremely risky outcome and then pointing out an extremely clear and safe escape route.

First, he used fainting to seal the rewinding ability of [Self-Destruction]. In this way, of course, he would think of leaving the tower first and come back after 24 hours to regroup.

But now, he was being lured out with the temptation that he could tell the truth once he got out of the tower, and next time he came in he would not be scared off by the same fear.

Of course, this could indeed be true. Xia Shou's current situation is like a brain in a vat, with no ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

But on the other hand, he understood that even if he left, the next time he came up, there would definitely be another kind of fear hidden in his heart that would emerge and lure him down the tower in the same way, because the fear in the human heart is endless.

"You're going to die! You're really going to die! This tower is no longer the same as it was before!" Edward shouted.

Yes, the Beacon of Fear is no longer safe, Xia Shou knew it from the beginning.

Xia Shou no longer paid attention to Edward behind him and turned on the communication device on his waist.

"Wei Yu, Wei Yu, you should be here, right? It's been three hours now, you must have arrived." Xia Shou said into the communicator.

Outside the lighthouse, Su Weiyu heard Xia Shou's voice coming from the loudspeaker.

Although she wanted to respond to Xia Shou, she had no choice but to listen to Xia Shou's one-way communication. "The situation is like this. I met Edward in there. I don't know if he was an illusion, but if I was not the only one who came out of the Lighthouse of Terror, then I am probably not myself anymore. I must have been possessed by someone else.

I hope you can find a chance to kill me... No, not kill me, but kill the person who occupies my body to avenge me." Xia Shou said.

Su Weiyu bit her nails and looked at the entrance of the Lighthouse of Fear with confusion, wanting to go in but not daring to.

She wouldn't be able to find Xia Shou if she went in now, because they were not at the same height and the physical space inside the Lighthouse of Fear was messed up.

But was what Xia Shou said true? Did he really meet Edward in there?

It must be fake! Xia Shou must have had an illusion. In fact, he didn't encounter anything.

Inside the lighthouse, Xia Shou continued to move forward.

He believed that if Edward's experience just now was not an illusion, Su Weiyu would also help him clean up the mess.

Lifting his foot and putting it down, Xia Shou stepped on something very soft, not a hard concrete step. The moment his right foot landed, a painful groan came from under his feet.

It was a strange touch, like stepping on someone's belly.

At the same time, Xia Shou felt his skin cracking and blood slowly flowing out of the wound. The red liquid flowed down from the cracked brow bone, obscuring his vision. His mouth was full of the fishy and sweet taste of rust. When he licked his tongue on the upper palate, he felt a sharp pain, as if his tongue had been cut by a razor with dozens of small cuts of varying depths.

Bleeding illusion?
Xia Shou gritted his teeth and continued to climb up on the steps that had turned into strange human bodies. The desire to retreat caused by physical torture and the doubts in his mind were completely different tests. He did not need to question the correctness of moving forward, but the temptation of retreating was real.

"Fuck you! I can endure double the damage, and you still want me to leave the tower?" Xia Shou raised the corner of his mouth, his whole face covered with blood.

"You are weak in that even if you inflict pain, you can't really make the climber lose the ability to climb. But this intensity is far from enough." Xia Shou held on to the wall and walked up, leaving bright red palm prints along the way. The blood in his body was almost drained, but it had been bleeding for quite a long time.

Then, he heard melodious music, and the pain in his body gradually disappeared.

But the melodious music became clearer and clearer, making Xia Shou feel as if he had heard it somewhere before.

As he continued to walk upwards, he saw himself stepping on countless red bodies. Sharp wails came from the strange-shaped cavities of those people, and the entire lighthouse tunnel became bright, and he suddenly saw clearly where he was!
He looked up and saw a huge platform and a white stone pillar with a diameter of several hundred meters above his head.

Where he is walking now is on the choir wall of heaven!

"Oh my, why are you stopping? Keep moving forward. We'll soon reach your position. You have to keep moving forward a little further." Xia Shou found that the hands that were pinching his neck were gone.

Moreover, all the clothes he was wearing disappeared, leaving him completely naked!
He looked up suddenly and saw the missionary floating above his head, directing him to move forward.

"See? That's where you'll work from now on," the missionary said, pointing to a groove on the choir wall.

"Hallucination?... Or am I already dead?" Xia Shou was at a loss. The scale of this scene change seemed to be too large.
