I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Perhaps, once we figure out the reason, we'll be able to untangle the knot in Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess's heart.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi asked, "How did you become the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect?"

Upon hearing this question, Qianhuan Guiji originally wanted to have a good talk with Lin Yi, but suddenly, she froze on the spot.

"Yes, how did I become the sect leader?"

Chapter 273 I Killed Zero-One

When Qianhuan Guiji asked him how he became the sect leader, alarm bells immediately went off in Lin Yi's mind.

Her illness seemed to be more serious than he had imagined, and was even accompanied by some symptoms of amnesia.

Lin Yi was more worried that she had selective amnesia. It was possible that she had chosen to forget that part of her memory because the process of becoming the sect leader was too painful.

If that's the case, then my problem is like dancing on my grave.

As expected, Lin Yi's intuition was always so sharp. After Lin Yi asked her a question, Qianhuan Guiji also began to seriously recall how she became the sect leader.

First, she is the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect. Then, when did she become the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect?

Ten years, twenty years, or a hundred years?

Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess rubbed her temples. She felt a headache coming on, as if the pain was trying to stop her from remembering more.

But Qianhuan Guiji is sick. When others have a headache, they will stop thinking, but she doesn't.

Lin Yi was still waiting for her answer; she needed to reply immediately.

"I killed people, I killed many people!"

Scenes from the past flashed through Qianhuan Guiji's mind, all of them blood red.

She killed many people, but there was one person who walked alongside her all the way. In the end, she killed him.

"Zero One, I killed Zero One in the end!"

Suddenly, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess roared loudly, startling Lin Yi, who felt a sense of foreboding.

Oh no, he really stepped on a landmine.

Moreover, the last sentence shouted by the Thousand Illusion Demon Princess contained a great deal of information.

If Lin Yi is indeed number 01, and if Qianhuan Guiji killed 01, then who is Lin Yi?

Perhaps, this is the crux of the problem for Thousand Illusion Demon Princess!

Lin Yi hadn't expected everything to go so smoothly, and to get so close to the root of the problem so quickly. However, Qianhuan Guiji was on the verge of emotional collapse, and Lin Yi didn't dare to provoke her too much.

First, calm her down a bit, then try to find out the details.

Seeing that Qianhuan Guiji's eyes were lifeless and she had obviously fallen into a trance, Lin Yi quickly grabbed her hand and said repeatedly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you didn't kill me, I'm right here beside you."

These words were very effective. Qianhuan Guiji's trembling body calmed down. She looked up at Lin Yi, carefully examined his appearance, and after confirming that he was indeed Lin Yi, she excitedly threw herself into Lin Yi's arms.

"I'm so glad you're alright!"

Lin Yi: "..."

The handshake was a bit too conservative; Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess is practically offering herself up for free!

Lin Yi had no evil intentions; he only wanted to take advantage of the situation and extract the secrets of the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess.

Without a doubt, this is when Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess is most vulnerable. She has shown her weakness to Lin Yi without reservation, and Lin Yi has taken advantage of it without hesitation.

"You must have just had a nightmare. Don't worry, I'm always here for you."

"Yes, a nightmare, a terrible nightmare..."

What did you dream about?

If we deceive Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess by saying it's just a dream, it won't be too stimulating for her.

As expected, the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess fell for the trap. When Lin Yi asked about her "dream," she was very scared, but she still chose to answer.

Leaning against Lin Yi's chest, she felt warm and secure, which made her subconsciously open her heart to Lin Yi without reservation.

"It was a deserted island with a blood-red sky. There was no sun or moon. People fought each other on the island every day."

The description of the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess seems to be otherworldly, but Lin Yi guessed that the deeper meaning behind it might require more careful consideration.

Human memory can also deceive us, because the brain automatically makes some modifications, and what you remember may not be the real scene and appearance.

Not to mention that Princess Thousand Illusions had suffered trauma. She said the sky was blood red, perhaps because of too much killing and seeing too much blood, which caused her to only see red when she recalled this memory.

Therefore, the sky is blood red.

As for the sun and the moon, that's even easier to understand. If there's fighting every day, who would be in the mood to look up at the stars and the moon?

Lin Yi continued, "Why is there fighting every day?"

Without a second thought, Qianhuan Guiji replied, "For one spot, the only one."

I understand, that's the position of the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

Is it possible that only one person can survive?

Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess nodded in Lin Yi's arms, and hugged him even tighter.

"I didn't mean to kill you, I didn't mean to kill you..."

She repeated the same words, trying to prove her innocence, and Lin Yi roughly understood what was going on.

By portraying the facts as a nightmare, he extracted crucial information from the Thousand Illusion Demon Princess.

According to Qianhuan Guiji's description, a very fierce battle took place when they were vying for the position of sect leader.

Their numbers are 0001, and there may be more. They are like participants in a battle to raise Gu, and the one who survives to the end is the Gu King, the strongest, and can become the sect leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

The remaining people, naturally, only faced death.

Clearly, the person who survived the island battle was Qianhuan Guiji. In order to survive and for the position of sect leader, Qianhuan Guiji even killed her closest person, Lingyi.

This calculation should be reasonable.

Based on this calculation, Zero One is already dead, so who is Lin Yi?

Qianhuan Guiji is definitely not twenty-three years old, but Lin Yi's correct age should indeed be around that. He Dong watched Lin Yi grow up, so Lin Yi's age is uncertain, but the error is only a few years.

Given this, it's highly unlikely that he was Qianhuan Guiji's teammate when she participated in PUBG.

The truth is about to come out.

Because Princess Sengen killed Zero-One, she was in great pain and forgot that part of her memory, and began to create a new Zero-One.

Now that I've become the leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect, it's no problem for me to put a mark on someone's arm.

In other words, Lin Yi is actually just a substitute for Zero One, and he is a substitute for Lin Yi.

After figuring it out, Lin Yi also felt a headache coming on.

The root of the problem has been found: Thousand Illusion Demon Princess's morbid obsession with him stems from the fact that she personally killed Zero-One.

But even knowing the reason, there was nothing to be done; this madwoman, Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess, had begun to deceive herself.

Even though it was something that actually happened, she believed it when it was described as a nightmare.

She herself would forget some things, such as being the sect leader.

The Thousand Illusion Demon Princess will not accept the truth; she will only choose to remain loyal to Zero One, whom she has "lost and found again."

"It seems that if we want to cure Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess, we must first make her realize that Zero One is dead."

There are risks involved, but Lin Yi felt that as long as Jiang Linglong was there, there shouldn't be too much risk.

By the way, I wonder how Jiang Linglong's performance went.

Just as Lin Yi was thinking this, he suddenly felt the air become much colder.

It also seemed very hot, as if flames were burning fiercely.

Lin Yi was quite shocked that these two strange sensations could occur at the same time.

But as soon as he turned around, he knew why.

Jiang Linglong returned at some point, her gaze fixed on Qianhuan Guiji, whom he was holding in his arms, her eyes filled with anger.

I'm helping you beat up the enemy, and you're here hugging a woman?

Chapter 274 What is the demeanor of a first wife?

Jiang Linglong knew she had to maintain the demeanor of a first wife, but after returning from a "difficult" battle, she didn't receive Lin Yi's care. Instead, she witnessed Lin Yi's concern for others, which made her break down in her defenses.

But as a lady from a prominent family, she still maintained her composure.

At this moment, she neither blamed Lin Yi nor angrily denounced the mistress.

All she did was express her dissatisfaction through her eyes.

Lin Yi quickly released Qianhuan Guiji and took a few quick steps to Jiang Linglong's side.

"Linglong, you're back."

"Humph."

Jiang Linglong gave a muffled hum, and Lin Yi quickly comforted her, "How are you? Are you alright?"

"How could I possibly get injured dealing with such a weak spirit of heaven and earth?"

The worst injury she suffered today was coming back from her ordeal to find him holding the Thousand Illusion Ghost Princess.

I feel heartbroken and sad.

"Don't be careless, I'll worry about you too."

Lin Yi knew that he needed to say nice things to coax her at this time. He couldn't take Jiang Linglong's feelings for granted just because she liked him.

If you make someone feel neglected too many times, their heart may grow cold.

Seeing that Lin Yi had so quickly abandoned Qianhuan Guiji to talk to her, Jiang Linglong felt much better.

"Don't worry, I won't put myself in any danger."

As she spoke, Jiang Linglong waved her sleeve, and a white-haired girl flew out from the wide sleeve.
