Offer a savior to the infinite world!

"Well, prove it, prove it... Of course I'm right and you're wrong."

"Then how do you prove that you are right? You can't just rely on your mouth to decide right or wrong, right?"

"Hey? Hey hey?"

"Ms. Bachelor, look, I am chatting with you in a very normal and friendly way. You said I was a wicked person who would torture and kill you. You have to produce convincing evidence, right? How can you prove that I am that kind of person? What kind of evidence can you produce?"

"Hey? Hey hey hey hey hey?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly became tough (in fact, her back was covered with cold sweat due to nervousness), which made Bashir fall into confusion, and the malice that was gradually revealed from her was also disturbed. Obviously, the girl who had never met others and had never talked to anyone had no idea how to refute Ritsuka's words, and her brain was in a short circuit for a while.

Human beings are extremely cruel and vicious creatures. This is common sense that the girl has.

Even though she no longer possesses the most painful memory after being split from the original individual, she still retains this distorted common sense.

However, because she only had this incomplete common sense, she had no idea how to prove that the common sense she possessed was correct.

"Then, then follow me!"

Bashir, who was getting a little anxious, stood up, took Lixiang's hand and walked towards the back of the hut.

For a moment, Ritsuka thought that the other party was planning to attack him, and instinctively wanted to cast the Command Seal to summon a Servant.

But then she found that Basheer just pulled her forward, through the corridor of the wooden house, into a stairwell made of ice, and then went down all the way, further down, and finally arrived at a huge ice cave.

"This is……"

The things that appeared before his eyes made Ritsuka's pupils shrink involuntarily.

people.

A person trapped in ice.

One after another, people were frozen in the ice and shattered.

These people seemed to have been tortured to death by other Basheers and placed on this floor. Some of them had their skin peeled off, with their flesh and internal organs completely exposed. Some were cut into pieces, while others were stitched together, and many were stitched together, filled with indescribable bad taste and cruelty, and were laid out in front of him in such a bloody manner.

Are they the returning soul hunters?

No, I’m afraid it’s not just those returning soul hunters. Many of the people here are actually ordinary people, right?

One after another, they were killed after suffering some kind of cruel torture and were preserved here like trophies.

And... they all seem to be women...

All the bodies sealed in the ice were female, and they were naked...

Ritsuka suddenly understood why the previous Bachelor had attacked him and Komeiji Kaku when they were taking a bath.

So was this the other party's intention at that time?

"Look, these people were all killed by my sister. I was the one who pinned them all down."

"As a human being, you would not accept this, right? So you must want to do the same thing to me, right?"

The girl, who was already somewhat incoherent, introduced the countless corpses in the ice cave as if showing off, while looking at Ritsuka and speaking seriously.

“…No, I still won’t do that.”

However, facing this horrifying scene, Ritsuka was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and refuted without hesitation.

"why?"

The girl became more and more confused.

"What you did was cruel and inhumane. It is something I cannot possibly understand or accept. That's true."

"so……"

"But that doesn't mean I will do the same thing. I won't do it. Even if I have to fight you and stop you from doing this, I won't do it by torture. I won't do this."

After taking another deep breath, the orange-haired girl spoke with great determination at this moment, and there was no confusion in her expression when she looked at the girl.

"How is it possible... Why, why? I don't understand. You are a human being, so you must think and act this way. It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense..."

Grabbing her hair, Bashir's expression became a little distorted at this moment. It seemed that with Fujimaru Ritsuka's firm denial, her mind began to gradually fall into an unstable state.

"That's the truth. I don't have any intention of fighting you right now (how could I dare to have any intention of fighting you...), right? I don't want to torture you, and I don't want to kill you in a cruel way. You can sense that, right? You're wrong. Not all humans are like that."

Li Xiang spoke seriously without hesitation and continued to speak to the girl.

"No... I, I'm not wrong, this is how humans are..."

"But you haven't been able to prove that, have you?"

“No…no…no…you are just like this…you are obviously like this…you…you should…”

"The fact is you haven't proved your point until you try again."

Seeing the girl's confusion and pain gradually turning into madness, Fujimaru Ritsuka, whose brain was fully activated, immediately shouted.

"Try again?"

Bashir seems to be a little crazy at this moment.

"That's right, try again, try a different approach, and try to prove that you are right."

Ritsuka, who was already nervous and sweaty on his forehead in the cold weather, gritted his teeth and continued speaking despite the chilling murderous intent coming from Basheer's direction.

"How to prove it? I... don't know how to prove it..."

"Come with me outside, into the real world. Wouldn't that prove it?"

Then, the confused Bashir received such a righteous response from Ritsuka Fujimaru.

"Hey?"

The girl, who had not expected this answer at all, froze in place.

"You said that you can't go out into the world because humans will definitely hurt you cruelly."

"I am also a human being. If you are right, I will do the same to you as soon as I get out, right?"

"So as long as you go outside with me, we can prove who is right and who is wrong between you and me. This is the best way!"

Li Xiang finished a series of words in one breath, and for a moment he didn't know what nonsense he was talking about.

If he were a normal person, it would be impossible for him to be fooled by these words.

But it was obvious that the girl in front of him had a big problem with her thinking. After hearing what Lixiang said, she was stunned again and again, and finally nodded slightly.

“As long as we get outside, we’ll know who’s right and who’s wrong?”

"As long as we get to the outside world, we will know whether this is the case or not."

"Yes, that's true."

Ritsuka gave a thumbs up and said seriously.

"Then... let's go?"

Then, after hesitating and thinking, Basheer raised his head and spoke to Ritsuka.

Chapter 33: Intertwined Thoughts~?

"Cough! Cough-cough-cough!"

The old woman kneeling on the ground was coughing up blood at this moment. Her mouth was full of rotten teeth, blood and saliva mixed together. Coupled with her cloudy eyes and messy hair, she looked like a demon for a moment.

However, for Jotaro himself, the other party can indeed be called an evil spirit in a sense.

Star Platinum did not hold back and attacked with all his strength, but it just barely made the opponent lose the ability to move, but failed to actually cause fatal damage to the enemy.

Even after a slight dizziness, the old woman crawled up from the ground, half-knelt down and spit out blood, with the hideous and distorted expression on her face looking extremely ugly and ferocious.

"Ahem! Ahem! Can't you be a little gentler to the old man? This behavior is not gentlemanly."

As she spoke, the old woman covered her pierced chest which was bleeding continuously, and her tone contained a hint of complaint.

"..."

Jotaro didn't say anything, but just stood there quietly, standing in the burning and dilapidated small square, looking at the old woman about ten meters in front of him.

"I thought you would immediately pursue the victory after causing effective damage. Aren't you quite decisive? Whether it was the killer move of extending your fingers or the heavy punch that followed, why did you become timid afterwards? Young people should have the courage to sleep with their girlfriends without wearing masks. If you are too cautious, it will easily cause family discord."

The old woman took a breath for a while, and when she saw that Jotaro never got close to launch an attack, she couldn't help but reveal a somewhat disappointed expression.

"I'm not so blind as to fail to discover the old fox's trap. You, as soon as my attack hit you, were already prepared to counterattack. The shadow has been trembling under your feet. If I really continue to follow you, I will be caught off guard and in an embarrassing situation, just like the pranked students at the party who ignorantly twisted and shook the soda bottle many times. No, for the pranked person, it will only make a fool of himself, but you will definitely kill me without hesitation."

Jotaro shook his head slightly as he spoke, moving his feet slowly into the dark area on one side of the square that was not illuminated by the fire.

Tsk, this young man is very difficult to deal with.

Although the old woman's expression seemed relaxed, she felt somewhat helpless deep down in her heart.

Jotaro's continuous attack just now did bring unexpected results, but the surrounding firelight still existed. Under the premise of the light, even if she was attacked and unconscious, she could still activate the shadow beside her to automatically counterattack in an emergency.

But this man somehow predicted the shadow's movements in advance. No, that's not right. While he launched the attack, his eyes were always observing the shadow on the ground. From beginning to end, he never looked at the old woman herself, but was always paying attention to the movements of the shadow, so he was able to react in advance.

Gradually removing the relaxed expression on her face, the old woman looked towards the dark area around her, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to become deeper and deeper.

The area that can be illuminated by the firelight is very limited.

She didn't like to store too many things in the shadow space, because once they piled up, it would be troublesome to clean them up. Besides, the lamp grease and other things put in the shadow space would not fall into a state of time stasis, but would gradually lose power and deteriorate, so she had to charge the lamp and replace the grease from time to time. Because of these troublesome things, and the fact that the King of Returning Spirits had always crushed the Returning Spirits Hunters, the old woman never needed to store too many things in the shadow space.

But the enemy this time was completely different. This young man who could summon a strange substitute was powerful, brave, careful, and strong-willed. Although he successfully injured the opponent several times in repeated fights, he could not deprive him of his ability to move. Instead, he suffered very troublesome injuries.

"call……"

Unconsciously, the old man's breathing became a little faster.

Unlike Niltat, Basher is already quite old. The memories and personality of the "clone" in the shadow world are different, and it is not aware of how much time has passed. But as the original body, that is, the old woman [Basher] herself, she is nearly 330 years old, and her lifespan is close to the limit of the Guiling people. In addition, there are various hidden diseases in her body, and she is in a state of continuous weakening.

In this situation, Basheer's body cells' self-healing ability was very weak. The attack of the Star Platinum that pierced his chest could be said to have directly destroyed half of the old woman's lungs. As a result, her breathing gradually became unstable and her mental state began to deteriorate.

At this point he is still indifferent. It seems that Atreus really has no intention of taking any action. I can only find a way to kill him by myself.

By the way, speaking of which, have the three in the shadow space been dealt with? Those three... what?

The old man's pupils widened a little. It was only less than a minute that he failed to confirm the situation inside the shadow space. As a result, somehow, the first and second layers of the shadow space lost their sense and could not sense anything. In the third layer, his clone was forced into a desperate situation by two enemies and was seriously injured.

There is also a third, the smallest individual that still exists today, that individual...she is chatting with the enemy???

How could he use sweet words to deceive his youngest, the one with a normal mind who had not experienced terrible torture? How shameless, these damn guys, why are they so tenacious, why are his clones so useless? He couldn't even kill two enemies.

Wait, that’s not right. This feeling is that there’s something wrong with that man.

The reason why things started to get out of control was because of that man. He somehow took the initiative to run into his own shadow space, and then not long after, the first and second layers of the shadow space changed and disappeared, and his clone also fell into a difficult situation.

"There's really nothing I can do. It seems your friend is very capable."

The old man chuckled and shook his head as he said this, then he sat down directly and reached out to pull off a quaint little key hanging around his neck.

After escaping from the house of the man who had abused and tortured him, he obtained the key, changed his power and gained this strange shadow space. Then, in the first to fifth layers of the shadow space, he differentiated himself into individuals at different stages of consciousness, and each clone was unable to leave the shadow space itself. The most they could do was project their consciousness onto their original bodies to temporarily control themselves, and this control could be rejected by themselves at any time.

Unfortunately, the old woman had never seen the "self" on the fourth and fifth levels. They seemed to have died as soon as they were born. It was probably because there were huge dangers in those two levels. Anyway, the old woman had never been in there, and her clone had never been in there either. As for the people who were thrown into that level for experimentation, since there was no way to control the shadows to bring them back, the old woman could only think that the remaining two levels had a terrible power that could directly devour everything that entered.

But this is not the point. The point is that in the past, when he was still young and could not control his strength well, he was once forced into a desperate situation by a Guiling Hunter and suffered very serious injuries, so that he almost died on the spot.

But she did not die in the end. Instead, the clone born from the [First Layer] died. All her injuries were transferred to that individual, and her own body became much younger with the demise of the clone, and her strength increased significantly.

Now I am in danger again. The puncture wound on my chest is very fatal. It is time to transfer my injuries to the clone on the third floor, which is fighting with the two people. Then, let her vitality transfer to me, so that I can heal quickly and become younger and stronger. Then, I can use my other ability to try to get rid of the enemy.

Another ability, or rather, another extraordinary talent of the Guiling people.

As the King of Guiling, he possesses dual extraordinary power talents that are difficult for ordinary Guiling people to possess.

It's just... that talent, the truth is, even after so many years, even though he is already very old, Basheer still doesn't want to use that ability, doesn't want to use that... ability and talent that he had used countless times during the years of imprisonment, just to please the madman who tortured him.

"Then let's relax some of the previous taboos. People always change, don't they?"

Seeing that Jotaro and the Cursed Arm were motionless in the darkness, the old man chuckled, and then controlled the shadow to move. On the surface, he seemed to be making movements as if he wanted to do something, but at the same time his consciousness had already penetrated deep into the shadow space, and he began to actively transform himself and another "Bachelor" into each other.

It is impossible for the other party to find out the abnormality.

As her own clones, their wills are controlled by her and their memories are also dominated by her, so they cannot realize the truth, nor can they realize what happened when she was "harvesting".

This will all be over soon. It won't take too long. I only need to -

[Grandma, I want to come out. I want to bring that human out.]

Then, just as the old woman had begun to transfer and her consciousness and power were being exchanged with the Basher individual who was fighting fiercely with Lin Yi and Gu Mingdijue, a will suddenly broke in, causing the old woman to almost sever the spiritual and energy connection for a moment.

[What are you doing? Why don't you kill that human quickly!? ]

The old woman who was almost interrupted was shocked and angry.
