"Ahem... You don't need to go into so much detail. Everyone's abilities are core secrets. Don't reveal so many details casually, or you might get targeted one day."
Fan Xiao gave a heartfelt reminder.
Damn it... I can't keep this junior sister!
This is starting to look wrong!
Are you a masochist? Does being treated roughly give you physical and mental pleasure...? Fan Xiao really wanted to ask that, but in the end, he held back.
“Oh,” Cassandra asked, “Have you thought of a name yet?”
"The Silver Garden, a courtyard of silver, a garden under the moonlight..."
Fan Xiao thought for a moment and suggested, "How about we call it 'Silver Moon'?"
“Okay. I don’t want the surname ‘Sen’ anymore either. I feel disgusted just hearing that surname now.”
Cassandra said, "In that case... I'll take the surname Fan too, and my name will be... Fan Yinyue."
"..."
"You son of a bitch..." Fan Xiao suggested again, "I've thought about it, and I think the name 'Silver Moon' seems a bit tacky."
"I see you have such a pure character... How about this, you'll be called 'Fan Chun'?"
"..."
The junior sister's eyes turned cold, her gaze sharp as knives.
It seemed to contain a subtle murderous intent.
It seems like they could make a move at any moment.
"It was just a joke, why are you getting so worked up?"
Fan Xiao, who was in an invincible state, was naturally not afraid of his junior sister at this moment.
Bathed in the other person's icy gaze, he shrugged and said, "Let's do it, Silver Moon. We should go settle things with your teacher."
……
Charles was sacrificed as the key to unlocking the "superego".
Fan Xiao agreed to Cassandra's request... no, he should be called Fan Yinyue now.
He agreed to Fan Yinyue's request—to temporarily provide her with cover.
The junior sister wanted to see how Huiying would react at the last moment.
Fan Xiao knew that this was actually an excuse.
For the junior sister, Huiying is like a mother figure.
Although the junior sister had murderous intent in her heart, she still lacked the strength to wield the butcher's knife.
Therefore, she needs to build up her anger.
Fan Xiao directly used the "Omnipotent Domain" to conceal his junior sister's whereabouts.
After sacrificing Charles to the heavens, the two arrived in the "superego realm".
A space that is almost entirely composed of pure white.
Only a tiny amount of black was mixed in, which was almost negligible.
"..."
Fan Xiao remained silent.
The color reminded him of his own dark and oppressive "superego."
The contrast between the two... made him feel incredibly ashamed.
I felt ashamed for a full second or two.
"No, white represents evil! I didn't realize that Junior Sister was so honest on the surface, but she's actually so awful inside? Tsk tsk... You really can't judge a book by its cover."
Fan Xiao turned his gaze to the very center of the pure white space.
There, black chains extended from the ground, completely enveloping the junior sister who stood in the center with her head down—that must be the junior sister's "superego".
Huiying, still bearing the appearance of her junior sister, stood beside the chains.
Behind it, a huge door was wide open, and behind the door, one could see the deserted street scene; the false and the real connected through this door.
Upon seeing Fan Xiao arrive, Huiying showed an extremely astonished expression.
"impossible!!"
"How did you manage to appear here unharmed!?"
"In this last world of guilt, you should be fighting against yourself...!"
Faced with this somewhat hysterical roar, Fan Xiao grinned and said, "What's wrong? Are you losing your composure? I know my own weaknesses perfectly well. Is it really that hard for you to understand or accept that I can defeat myself so quickly?"
"you……"
Huiying quickly regained her composure and pulled down the scroll, gritting her teeth as she said, "I admit I underestimated you, but... I've seen through your tricks!"
"You are not invincible. You just have special abilities that are similar to the rules of the dungeon, which is why you have gained invincible power here."
"Right now, this small area around me has connected to the empty city outside through the door behind me. Reality and dreams are in conflict. Once you get close to me, all the power you gained through the dungeon rules will become ineffective!"
"Oh? You have quite a lot of dungeon access."
Fan Xiao said nonchalantly, "So what if I've become weaker? It doesn't mean you've become stronger."
Echo: "..."
"Speaking of which... you told me all this so readily, instead of using it to set a trap. You... are you afraid of me, aren't you?" Fan Xiao suddenly asked. "You plan to resolve this peacefully, right?"
"It's easier to talk to smart people."
Huiying did not refute it, but directly admitted it.
Fan Xiao asked with interest, "Tell me, what are you planning to do?"
“Mr. Van Helsing, you’re just recruiting talent for the ‘big shot’ behind you,” Echo said. “The focus is on A-level psychic ability, not the specific identity of the A-level psychic, right?”
"That's right." Fan Xiao nodded.
Echo continued, "Now Cassandra's mind has been taken over by me. I am her, and she is me. There is no difference between us."
"I can go back with you to report back; the result will be the same. What do you think?"
"Well..."
Fan Xiao pondered for a few seconds, then asked seriously, "If I agree, will you leave the 'One Wing' organization, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and completely become one of us?"
“Of course!” Huiying quickly replied, “'One Wing' has never helped me, and I have no sense of belonging to it. If I can use your connections to gain a better future, why would I still be attached to the identity of an ‘ordinary One Wing member’?”
“Very well,” Fan Xiao laughed, “but I refuse!”
"..."
Huiying paused, as if she couldn't quite process what was happening.
She quickly calmed herself down, suppressing her anger, and asked in bewilderment, "Why? I don't understand your reason for refusing."
“I have a moral fastidious streak,” Van Chau replied truthfully. “I can’t stand someone like you as my companion.”
"You... have a moral fastidious streak?"
Huiying doubted that she had misheard.
A guy who commits massacres and destroys stars and the world in the "realm of the self"... has a moral fastidiousness?
What a joke!
Ignoring the other party's suspicion, Fan Xiao continued, "Of course, individuals are individuals, and organizations are organizations. Not all members of our organization have the same perfect moral values as me."
"If you want to join, you can. Now you also meet the requirements of an assassin."
"However... you have to stick your head out first, and I'll give you a buff to test it out."
He raised his palm, revealing a badge: "This is a secondary tool used by our organization to assess new members. If you can pass the test, I will put aside my prejudices and agree to your conditions."
“Throw the badge over here, I’ll try it myself,” Echo said.
“That won’t do,” Fan Xiao said. “The items in the id and superego realms are all simulations. Didn’t you say that these simulated powers would lose their effectiveness around you?”
“We can go out and try it.”
Huiying pointed to the door behind her.
Fan Xiao laughed: "You seem to have forgotten your position. Now I'm in the dominant position and I'm making demands on you."
"Trying to trick me into leaving so you can use A-level psionic energy against me? Ha... Keep your little schemes to yourself."
"..."
Huiying was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm warning you! Don't try anything funny!"
“Cassandra’s mind is now in my possession. If you attack me, there is a 50% chance that you will directly destroy her mind.”
"This connection is achieved through the rules of the instance. Your invincible strength is all simulated and cannot affect this connection!"
"Is it……"
Fan Xiao said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, it's just a test, there's nothing fishy about it."
"This is your territory. Since you have made thorough preparations, I naturally don't want to make a wasted trip due to unforeseen circumstances."
So... are you coming or not?
Huiying hesitated for a few seconds before finally making a decision.
What she just said was almost entirely true.
At least the last sentence is true.
Van Helsing had already gone this far; it was impossible for him to gamble on a 50% chance at the last minute.
Thinking of this, she moved slightly away from the door behind her and took a few steps forward, only letting her forehead protrude beyond the boundary of the "conflict zone between dreams and reality".
*Thud*—Fan Xiao tossed the badge over, and it landed precisely on Huiying's forehead.
A few seconds later, the badge flew back on its own.
Fan Xiao shook his head: "The result is confirmed. Your character is too poor, so you didn't pass. The previous negotiations are void."
"Impossible!" Huiying almost laughed in anger: "Since it's a secondary tool for testing morality, you can pass it, but I can't? Do you even believe this result yourself?"
"You underestimate the value of life, sending so many of your own people to their deaths."
Fan Xiao sighed and said, "Although I also kill people, I would never be so heartless as to harm my own people, nor would I kill kind people with conscience and morality... Well, I have a moral fastidiousness, but I value life more than you do."
How dare you say such a thing... Huiying immediately wanted to curse.
Fan Xiao laughed and said, "I can tell what you're trying to say just by looking at your expression."
"Everything in the 'realm of self' is illusory. So what if I indulged myself a little in this illusory world to accomplish the important things I had to do? Do you take me for a moral paragon?"
“In the real world, I would certainly not commit such a massacre.”
"..." Huiying cursed, "Shameless!"
"Stop blaming others, take a look at yourself in the mirror first." Fan Xiao sneered, "You're the shameless one. Look, you're threatening me with your students' lives to save your own... I would never do something like that."
"What do you know!"
Huiying roared, "I've poured ten years of my heart and soul into this opportunity, into this day!"
"I don't want to be trapped in a small dungeon anymore, and I don't want to always appear as a ghost."
"I want to be human again! I want to be a player! I want to reclaim everything I once had!"
"You haven't experienced what I've been through, what right do you have to criticize me?!"
"Breached your defenses? Getting angry?"
Fan Xiao sneered, "If you have any conscience and want to become human again, just find any vicious player, create guilt in them, and take over their body."
"But you chose your own student, an innocent girl... You should judge for yourself, aren't you both despicable and shameless?"
"All you want is someone else's A-level psionic energy and to possess it. You want to have your cake and eat it too. How disgusting is that?"
"...Don't force me!"
