Chapter 14: The Mysterious Mastermind

"Are you looking for death? How many pounds and taels do you have in your heart? Lin Wurou glared at Bai Mist.

The light of the searchlight was not enough to illuminate the end of the hallway, and as the footsteps became clearer, the group heard the sound of poisonous snakes spitting letters.

White Mist said softly:

"I'm measured, rest assured. Don't talk later, pretend to be indifferent and cold as much as possible, you can refer to the captain's usual expression. In short, don't shoot until the monster strikes first. ”

Although they didn't know what Bai Wu was going to do, all the team members subconsciously recalled the usual appearance of Wujiu, and suddenly all the members became cold.

Wujiu felt that he had been victimized.

However, he did not stop the White Mist from taking risks. Ever since he came to the outside of the tower, he has been secretly evaluating the recruit's performance.

There was no sense of fear, and there were no emotional fluctuations in the face of the evil fall and all the things that happened in the ward.

At best, it's calm. In a bad direction, the white mist is like a machine with no feelings.

But outside the tower, this kind of teammate is the most reliable if his strength is cultivated, especially Bai Mist's analysis ability is extremely strong.

It's just a recruit of the first order of the associated power, how can he face the evil fall of at least the fourth level of aberration?

A vague shadow appeared at the end of the hallway. The silhouette looked like a huge spider, but as the figure got closer, Wujiu realized that it was not a huge spider, but his back, with four pairs of blood-red arms growing.

These arms were far thicker than his real arms.

Although it is almost not the same species as the boy in the photo, Wujiu still recognizes the face.

His black curly hair turned dark red, his pupils were purple, and the curse marks on his face were still there, but from the neck onwards, he was covered in blood-red scales, like armor made of red crystal.

"Hiss......"

The sound of the poisonous tongue spitting out the letter was not from the mouth of the evil fallen, but the second pair of the four pairs of arms behind him. It's not so much the arms as the two stout crimson pythons.

This level of evil fall, Wujiu has seen it three times, and its body is like a splicing of various monsters.

He looked as usual, and the first four hours outside the tower were the time when his combat strength was at its strongest.

The rest of the people are also quite calm, and they have learned the appearance of Wujiu very well.

Bai Wu is different, he doesn't have the slightest coldness, full of affinity.

The perverted data in the remarks did not make him feel oppressive at all, but his smile became brighter and brighter.

[Level 6 Evil Fall, Aberration Entry: Cutting Iron, Acid Corrosion, Spider Silk Entanglement, Poisonous Infiltration, Limb Stretching, Rapid Response.

Rare Aberration Entries: Strange Force, Limb Regeneration, Block.

Perfectly Distorted Entry: Life and Death Induction.

I really didn't expect Elijah to eat this virtue, dismantling his body and taking it to the crew of Journey to the West, he can get the wages of several monsters, and he loves it. As a final reminder, killing him by means other than the dwarf can make this arrogant and inferior little naughty ghost drop a talent sequence that you don't like very much. 】

Unclear data, useful information is still extremely arrogant and extremely inferior, which is consistent with the content of the notes I saw before.

And the special way of death is obviously not to be killed by Wujiu...... I guessed it right, it has something to do with this comb. As for the talent sequences I hate, forget it, that's not the point.

His name was Elijah...... That's a good place to start.

The serpent-like arms behind Elijah began to squirm slowly.

"From ...... Food ...... in Tari I'm going to eat your ......," Elijah's dim purple pupils welled up with excitement.

His speech was stiff, and Bai Wu didn't think it was because of his inflexible thinking, because he hadn't spoken for too long.

"Elijah, my good boy, I'm not from Tari." Bai Wu said lightly.

The three pairs of arms that were about to tear through the white mist suddenly stopped, and Elijah's eyes widened suddenly.

"Don't you remember, you are my most precious whole, a great work of art, and the most obedient of all my children."

Confusion and surprise welled up in Elijah's purple pupils, and he neither moved forward nor retreated as the white mist approached.

Bai Mist's smile was gentle, and his eyes gradually became indifferent.

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously, you're just a failure, and I didn't expect anything from you. Even I almost forgot that you existed. ”

The pupils were like a galaxy, and countless stars exploded at the same time, and Elijah looked at the white mist in horror.

The white mist had already come to Elijah, and even stretched out a hand and gently touched the curse mark on the little boy's face.

Elijah stared at the white mist, trying to find the emotion of food in the other person's eyes.

As a top-level evildoer, he could even feel the faint fear emanating from several people behind him, even if they hid deeply, Elijah could smell it.

But in the face of the white fog, he didn't feel the slightest panic, and in the depths of the white fog's eyes, there was only amusement and disappointment.

"Old ...... Teacher? No, it can't be, how can this ......"

"It seems that the years have not made you dumber, which is one of the few advantages you have."

Elijah didn't understand, why was the teacher here? It is the iron law of this world that every evil fall cannot leave a certain range.

The world outside the tower is divided into countless areas, each of which has a border, and the Evil Fall cannot leave its borders, only those humans from within the tower can cross the border.

In fact, in this investigation, the 591 people happened to be on the border of the two areas, and the hospital was the other area.

Elijah is not the most confused, Wujiu and Lin Wurou and the others are confused, what information does Bai Wu have in that room?

What's going on with this strong sense of being behind the scenes?

"Impossible...... You're not a teacher! You're not a teacher! If the teacher is still alive, why don't you come and see me? ”

Elijah was so emotional that he became less stiff in his speech.

Bai Wu smiled indifferently:

"Poor thing, you thought I was dead, so I didn't come to see you. Maybe I should have come to see you so I could remind myself that I was a more failed person than someone in the hospital. ”

"They create a relatively intact semi-finished product, and you are a failure that is worse than a semi-finished product."

"Elijah, I'm really sad, I can't accept that I have a stain like you in my perfect life."

These few words were completely spliced with the message in Elijah's heart, and his eyes as he looked at the white mist changed from surprise to panic.

"No...... No! Teacher...... No, I'm your perfect work! Elijah subconsciously argued.

Bai Mist retracted his smile, but his heart was long gone, and he had the joy of clearing the game.

The information obtained from the notes made Bai Wu make a bold but reasonable assumption.

Of course, although he doesn't know what fear is, White Mist cherishes his life. dares to so blatantly pretend to be someone behind the scenes, and his confidence is ...... It's still in the five nines.

"Alright Elijah, this looks a little too ugly, I put you here because there are items here that can polish you, but you let me down, and you're afraid to face that little girl in the fourth building. In the end, I had to do it myself. ”

White Mist's words shocked Elijah again. The teacher took it personally...... That monster was dealt with by the teacher?

Wujiu and others are still in a kind of "aren't we in the same area?" Didn't take the same script? Confused.

But before the White Mist could unravel the mystery, he further ravaged Elijah:

"After all these years, I have been devastated by your failures, and the tower still stands, and I have created many children like you, who are better than you, and who have done my job brilliantly. But you've always been a stain on me. ”

There is a little white fog that must admit that he is not badly lucky.

The character, tone, and demeanor of the mastermind behind the scenes he refers to are all imitations of his own father.

But it seems to be very similar to Elijah's teacher's style.

It was also a poor child, but he did not sympathize with Elijah.

Elijah wept bitterly:

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry, teacher, you gave me one more chance, give me another chance! I'm not a failure...... I'm not a loser, I'm not!"

The pitiful little man of the fourth building shattered Elijah's self-confidence three times in a row.

So much so that Elijah thought in his heart that it was impossible for him to defeat the monster of the fourth building.

And his teacher must be very familiar with Elijah's character, this kind of loveless child, once recognized, will desperately want to get more recognition.

Arrogance, low self-esteem, loyal dogs, lack of love.

This is what White Mist extracted from the notes, about Elijah's personality tag.

In the notes on the ninth floor and the notes on the thirteenth floor, Elijah mentions the school and the teacher.

This child pretended to be subservient to the hospital, but he was a fanatical admirer of the teacher, and bluntly said that he wanted to become the teacher's weapon.

From this, Bai Wu deduced that the evil fall in this hospital was divided into two camps.

On one side is the Ninth Mental Hospital, and on the other side is Elijah's mysterious teacher.

He arranged for Elijah to come here because Elijah had some kind of ability within him to become stronger by hunting and eating other evil falls.

Therefore, the purpose of the mysterious teacher should be to disguise Leah as the evil fall of the courtyard, and use the courtyard as a wedding dress to continuously devour the evil fall of the courtyard to achieve the goal of evolution.

It's just a pity that the courtyard has created an even more terrifying monster, and that is a little girl from the eleventh floor of a building.

The little poor defeated Elijah three times, and Elijah, who was extremely inferior, gave up on himself and accepted his identity as a loser.

The little girl is the next target to complete the level.

But White Mist had a hunch that he would definitely fight Elijah's teacher in a certain area. This is a truly evil existence.

In addition to the hole card of 59, the reason why Bai Wu dared to pretend to be this teacher was that he was sure that Elijah had never seen the teacher.

The teacher's face is likely obscured by the mask, and the teacher's voice has been manipulated.

The reason for this was because the teacher was not sure if Elijah would be able to complete the task or if the hospital would ask Elijah what to do.

So the best thing to do is to let Elijah know nothing.

And the reason why Elijah keeps suppressing is because Elijah's loyal dog character is like this.

The more disappointed the owner is in him, the more he will blame himself and feel guilty, and then he will entrust the task, and the loyal dog will do whatever it takes to complete it. This can be inferred from the notes found on the thirteenth floor.

Bai Wu remembers that in his previous life, in novels from a female perspective, this kind of male protagonist with the label of a loyal dog is very pleasing to female readers.

However, in the novel, only those who are good-looking and rich are called loyal dogs, and in reality, such dogs can only be called licking dogs.

Obviously, Elijah regarded the teacher as a god, but Elijah himself was just one of the teacher's many pawns.

As long as Elijah is misled into meeting his former teacher, the game is half won.

……

White Mist began to use the information in the first note when entering the second building. He pulled out the comb.

Seeing the comb, Elijah recalled the time when the little girl combed her hair in self-pity and easily defeated herself and the other evildoers......

It seems that the teacher really killed her...... At this point, Elijah no longer had the slightest doubt, and his fear of the little girl began to slowly shift into a fanatical worship of the teacher.

White Mist smiled gently again:

"Elijah, my good boy, the plan of the whole body has failed because of you. I haven't forgotten you, you see, didn't I come to you? I don't think you will let me down a second time.

The gentle smile on the corners of his mouth, combined with the coldness in the depths of his eyes, made Elijah panic and eagerly begin to express his loyalty.

"Give me another chance...... Teacher, I will definitely complete your task, and I will not let you down again! ”

"You are an integral part of the whole thing, you know that half of the value of the artwork displayed in the museum comes from the craftsmanship, and half of the value comes from the history and story behind it. The latter can make it eternal, and I want to give you that eternity. ”

The hand holding the comb, slowly combing Elijah's curly red hair, Bai Mist said slowly:

"They become a part of you, bringing you closer and closer to being one, but we all know that there is still a long way to go, and I hope you can become a part of me and be with me forever. Your body will be eternal with me, but before that, it needs to be detached from your will."

"What am I going to do?" Elijah looked at the white mist reverently, he did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

White Mist leaned into his ear and gave a soft explanation.

……

……

Elijah died.

Under the incomprehensible gaze of the 591 group, the four pairs of arms behind his back pierced themselves. The young man who fell in front of the white mist, the frenzy in his eyes slowly dissipated.

After about half a minute, Lin Wurou's mouth finally closed with her mouth open in surprise. He came back to his senses and looked at the white mist puzzled:

"What the hell is going on? Why did he kill himself? What do you mean by a complete body plan? Who is the teacher? ”

Wujiu also wants to know that the development of any dialogue needs a certain amount of data support, when did Baiwu get the data support?

"As I said before, I will only say it once, and in the future, I will choose to believe my words, and don't ask the reason. Since we're teammates, it's good to trust each other. ”

This time, without the information in the notes, White Mist would not have been able to draw some conclusions.

Therefore, if there are loopholes in the logic of things that cannot be explained, don't try to make them up, just choose not to explain them.

This is a poor child, but Bai Wu does not feel guilty, because there are only two endings for Rielia, either with fear and unwillingness, he dies at the hands of Wujiu, or he ends up with no regrets.

Looking at Elijah's corpse, White Mist saw another note:

[I have good news and bad news, I'll tell you the bad news first-the Journey to the West crew doesn't recruit dead monsters, so this corpse is useless, remember to disembowel it and take the key inside before destroying it. The good news is that Elijah's special way of dying earned you the talent Sequence 76: Gluttony. 】

Bai Wu still remembers that when Liu Du let himself see the talent sequence 75: Absolute Dissolution, he also glanced at 76: Gluttony - he can obtain some of the opponent's characteristics by devouring the opponent.

Combined with Elijah's curious body, White Mist now understands why he said that he wouldn't like this sequence too much.

He has no interest in the evil meat, even if he starves to death and jumps from the nineteenth floor, he will never eat a bite of the evil fall.

"The key is in the belly of the Evil Fallen, and you have to get it out before you can go to the third building."
