Everyone has awakened, but I am the only mortal!

Hei Zi was talking to another "acquaintance" inside Xu Chen's body, not Xu Chen himself.

Everyone is pondering this statement.

The meaning behind the words is not difficult to understand.

"So Xu Chen was actually dead a long time ago, and someone else is occupying his body."

Su Bai did not respond.

He made it very clear before that this was a ritual about pursuing immortality and rebirth, so it must be that someone else wanted to be resurrected and was using someone else's body.

The human body ages, but some people who pursue longevity believe that they can transfer their aging body into a younger body to prolong their lives.

After a brief silence, Ma Jun spoke up: "So, Hei Zi is the manipulator? Who does he want to resurrect?"

No one responded.

Ma Jun scratched his head anxiously: "But what did Hei Zi do? He clearly never separated from everyone."

Mentioning this, Lao Zhou looked at Chen Hua: "Chen Hua, you just said that Hei Zi knew the person inside Xu Chen's body, but that's just your side of the story. I think you're the most suspicious. In the alternate world, when everyone was drinking water in the kitchen, you were alone in your room. We saw mud on the soles of your shoes after we went out. How do you explain that?"

Old Zhou's words caused a slight pause among the others.

After all, Lao Zhou hadn't mentioned this matter when they were in the other world.

Chen Hua was taken aback, seemingly stumped by Lao Zhou's question. He thought for a moment before saying, "You mean that day, when you were drinking water, I went out to use the restroom, and when I came back in, Jiang Fan had just run out."

Chen Hua's reasons were impeccable and made sense, but both things he mentioned were only true to him, so if he was lying, no one could do anything about it.

Xu Chen's situation makes sense, but there are many things about Hei Zi that don't make sense. Was he the controller from the beginning? Or was he possessed in the middle? Su Bai still remembers when Huang Xiang's people came to snatch his cookies, Hei Zi directly threw the man away, and the man stopped breathing.

Killing is forbidden in the alternate world, or you will be killed in return. But Hei Zi wasn't worried at the time. It was from that moment that Su Bai realized that Hei Zi was not Hei Zi.

As for Chen Hua... there are even more suspicious points about him.

Seeing that no one believed him, Chen Hua didn't say anything more, but looked at Huang Xiang: "You have the ability to sense monsters. Now that we're out of the other realm, try sensing them again. See if I'm a monster or not."

Huang Xiang glanced at Chen Hua indifferently, then turned to Luo Zheng: "Everyone is safe now."

Although she didn't answer Chen Hua's question, it was a way of indirectly telling everyone that Chen Hua wasn't a monster.

Luo Zheng nodded to Huang Xiang, then turned to Su Bai and said, "Although there are many things that don't make sense, there are still many things we don't understand about the Otherworld. After we reach the Western Regions, we can ask other people who have also been to the Otherworld. If we gather everyone's information together, we might be able to figure out more things."

Su Bai nodded; this was the only option at the moment.

Luo Zheng said, "It's not dawn yet, everyone should rest first, and we'll get up early tomorrow morning to continue our journey."

After giving his instructions, Luo Zheng called Huang Xiang aside to talk. Huang Xiang had come out to protect Xu Chen, but Xu Chen was caught in a trap in the alternate realm. Everyone was happy to come out of the alternate realm, but Huang Xiang did not smile.

Zheng Ge stayed put, while Ma Jun sat down with him to rest. There were too many suspicious things about Chen Hua. Although Huang Xiang said that he did not have the aura of a monster, no one had come into contact with him.

Su Bai walked to the side, not far, but at just the right distance, so that no one could hear him talking to Lao Zhou.

After the two sat down, Old Zhou noticed Su Bai's serious expression and asked in a low voice, "Still thinking about Hei Zi?"

Su Bai remained silent.

Old Zhou said, "When I saw Ma Jun smash Xu Chen onto Hei Zi, my mind went blank. It wasn't until that familiar white light brought us out that I believed it was real."

Although they haven't had much contact, Hei Zi has developed some feelings for them over the days he's been around them.

Su Bai raised his head and looked in the direction of Luo Zheng and Huang Xiang. Whether by coincidence or not, Su Bai found that the two of them were looking at him.

After being caught by Su Bai, the two calmly turned their heads away.

Old Zhou also witnessed this scene. He frowned and asked, "Are they talking about you?"

Su Bai withdrew his gaze: "Do you remember the first time we entered this alternate realm?"

Old Zhou nodded: "I remember, what's wrong?"

Su Bai said, "When we entered the otherworld back then, Luo Zheng and Zheng Ge didn't attack the monster first. Instead, they waited for the right moment. When the time was right and the monster revealed itself, they attacked it. Doesn't that mean that entering the otherworld requires meeting certain conditions? But when we entered the second otherworld, none of these conditions were met."

Old Zhou stared in astonishment, his mouth agape.

Yes, when Huang Xiang sent a palm strike, everyone entered the strange realm. They didn't determine who the monster was, nor did they kill any monsters; they just entered.

Su Bai: "The problem that we all noticed, Luo Zheng couldn't possibly have missed, so why didn't he bring it up?"

Old Zhou nodded: "Yes, that means Luo Zheng also has a problem."

Even though they had emerged from the other world, things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

However, Old Zhou suddenly made an immature request: "People without superpowers will gain superpowers when they enter the otherworld, and people with superpowers will have their superpowers enhanced when they enter. Do you want to try and see if you can cut me with a knife?"

Su Bai: "..." This was the first time he had ever heard someone ask to injure him with a knife.

Perhaps it was because Su Bai's expression was so disgusted that Old Zhou finally behaved himself.

After Luo Zheng and Huang Xiang finished their conversation, they returned to Zheng Ge and Ma Jun and sat down to rest.

That night, although the chirping of crickets could still be heard, the relaxed mood that everyone had on their first day here was gone.

Early the next morning, everyone got up and set off. There were thirteen people before, but now there are only seven left. Apart from Su Bai and Chen Hua, the others are all superhumans. In particular, early the next morning, Luo Zheng swung the whip wrapped around his waist to test his strength. The whip struck the ground and split a crack as deep as a person's body.

Luo Zheng was very excited. When Huang Xiang faced Luo Zheng, she smiled and even talked to him the whole way, no longer showing the arrogance of looking down on others.

Su Bai and Lao Zhou were at the very back, with Chen Hua in front of them, and Luo Zheng and a few others in front of Chen Hua.

Old Zhou wasn't afraid Huang Xiang would hear: "No matter when, there will always be sycophants, even in the apocalypse."

Before Su Bai could react, he felt a strong gust of wind rise up in front of him, rushing straight towards Lao Zhou, who was thrown a full ten meters away in an instant.
