Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

"Don't make a move!"

"Don't!"

"Stop!"

"At this moment, internal strife is absolutely unacceptable!"

Voices echoed around Wu Xiaode's ears.

He looked around and saw those powerful entities divided into two groups.

One group signaled to him not to intervene against the giant, while the other group stared at the card in his hand, eyes blazing with desire.

Wu Xiaode smiled silently.

In the darkness, silence ruled everything.

But suddenly the "dong dong" sound of interrogation broke the silence.

The sound transmitted through the thick bronze walls, instilling fear in everyone's hearts.

Yet this fear did not touch Wu Xiaode.

The card had already guaranteed his safety.

Therefore—

The initiative is in my hands!

Wu Xiaode casually swung the card.

—You bastards, are tempted by this card that can deceive the "interrogator"?

Although the premise is through the bronze wall 890 million kilometers away, this card ultimately makes the super S-class "interrogator" retract; attack!

This is already astonishing enough!

Wu Xiaode held the card, looking at the giant who was the incarnation of Jiuyao.

—He made his move just now without anyone stopping him.

Or rather—

Someone tried to stop him, but Jiuyao still attacked me.

Isn't this a challenge?

Then I can't be blamed.

Wu Xiaode's pupils gradually returned to normal.

As if nothing had happened.

Across.

Jiuyao, after being cautious for a while, saw him retract his pupil skill, but still did not relax his vigilance, maintaining various magical and protective measures around him.

Suddenly.

Those pink long tongues seemed to sense something, withdrew back through the holes in the wall, and disappeared.

The interrogation room fell silent.

However, outside the interrogation room, in the adjacent buildings, disturbances could be heard.

"Take this chance and quickly teleport away!"

Someone shouted loudly.

In the interrogation room, everyone seized the opportunity without hesitation, releasing various teleportation spells to leave directly.

Jiuyao looked over at that kid across from him, only to see the kid's face full of unwillingness, but pulled away by Sarina, directly into the void and vanished.

He left.

From now on, both sides are mortal enemies.

Next time we meet, I must be cautious.

—However, the card in that guy's hand should be extremely coveted, I can absolutely mobilize the nine sequences together to force him to surrender the card!

Jiuyao thought, as he was about to initiate the teleportation skill.

Suddenly.

A warning surged through his Divine Soul.

A faint thought traversed the endless space, descending from the Holy Realm:

"Do not move, the crisis is not yet over."

Jiuyao's hand, about to lift, froze immediately.

What?

The crisis is not yet over?

It remained motionless, scanning the entire interrogation room with its gaze.

The interrogation room was almost empty now!

Everyone had safely left.

Yet, screams echoed from another room next door.

That was the "interrogator" running rampant.

If he didn't seize the moment to leave now, then once the "interrogator" returned, it would be impossible to go.

But the consciousness from the Holy Realm would never deceive him.

Then—

Where is the problem?

A dreadful answer emerged in Jiuyao's heart, sending shivers down its spine.

"Rashid, are you there?"

It transmitted sound toward the not far side.

—Earlier, General Rashid was standing not far from him.

If he hadn't left, he should have heard his voice transmission.

He waited a breath.

No response.

Yes, taking advantage of the brief moment, he had already run away.

Everyone else had left too.

However, the consciousness from the Holy Realm commanded him to "do not move".

Screams reached from the other room, hysterical.

Jiuyao's heart tightened.

—If I don't leave now, it will be too late!

A thought suddenly appeared in Jiuyao's heart:

"Wait, maybe the consciousness from the Holy Realm is false, deliberately sent by the 'interrogator' to confuse people!"

With the first thought, the second thought instantly followed:

"If I don't leave now, it's really dangerous!"

Third thought:

"Quick, leave!"

With these three thoughts ended, a pink long tongue reappeared in the wall's hole.

Looks like it's ready to come back.

No more waiting!

Leave!

Jiuyao was about to release the space transmission spell, only to find a sudden surge of power enveloping him.

This is...

The power from the master!

The master's voice resounded in his ears:

"Don't move, do you hear?"

"Yes!" Jiuyao obediently took the order.

—Damn it, I almost misunderstood the Master.

But everyone has left.

Could it be that the Master wants me to die here to apologize to Lady Sarina's true form?

Whether it's life or death, I shouldn't resist the Master.

Then I'll just wait here.

—No matter life or death.

Jiuyao made up his mind and stood still in place.

But in the next instant, a thought jumped out from his heart:

"I am loyal to my duty, upholding the merit system set by the Holy and wholeheartedly exterminating the opponents. This is all correct."

A second thought immediately followed:

"The Holy wants to kill me to please Sarina's true form. Is this right?"

A third thought then floated up:

"No, I can't die here."

Three thoughts flashed across his mind, and Jiuyao suddenly felt a chilling sensation all over.

"No... why would I think these things..."

"These aren't my thoughts!"

"This isn't me!"

His face twisted with ferocity, a murderous intent surged in his heart, and he silently chanted:

"This isn't me, it's—"

"It's that guy's Pupil Skill!"

Yes!

It must be this way!

The Holy's transmission instantly reappeared:

"Yes, you've fallen for his skill. Don't move, the 'interrogator' hasn't actually left!"

Hasn't left?

Jiuyao was stunned.

—Could it be that what I saw with my eyes, heard with my ears, and felt are all false?

In fact, everyone remained in the interrogation room?

Suddenly, another thought appeared in his heart:

"Haha, I've been discovered."

The second thought:

"But what's the use of that?"

The third thought:

"After all, I'm not some magic, I am you."

Jiuyao angrily retorted in his heart: "You are me? Bah, once I get through this, I'll definitely find a way to rid myself of you. The Holy can certainly do this."

Immediately, another thought sprang from his mind:

"The Holy might not be able to do this because I'm about to kill you soon."

"What exactly are you!" Jiuyao fearfully demanded.

"I told you, I am you—a 'personality' born from your soul."

Despair appeared on Jiuyao's face.

If it were an illusion or controlling technique, I could have ways to deal with it.

But the opponent directly created a new 'personality' within me.

Can I deal with others but not with myself?

Especially at this moment—

The scene before Jiuyao's eyes changed, revealing other powerful figures floating in the surrounding void, unmoving.

Even those pink tongues appeared as well.

Everyone was still here!

The 'interrogator' hadn't left!

One thought after another constantly appeared in Jiuyao's mind:

"I am your self-destructive 'personality', having had loads of fun in the past few minutes since my birth."

"Now, I'm beginning to destroy you and me."

"—Goodbye."

The thought evaporated from his mind.

This time Jiuyao completely came to his senses.

—Early on, my own eyes and ears had betrayed me; hence, I neither saw nor heard.

Because within me, another 'personality' had emerged!

What kind of skill is this!

No time to think of how to combat it—

Jiuyao found himself suddenly smiling and waving his arms towards those clusters of pink "tongues."

Meanwhile, he heard himself speaking:

"I apologize for everything before, so now I shall atone with my death before all of you."

The words were barely finished.

All the pink "tongues" feverishly rushed in, wrapping themselves entirely around Jiuyao's body.

Only at this moment did he reclaim control over his body.

"No!"

He erupted in despairing fury.

But in the next moment, he laughed maniacally: "Don't miss me, I deserve this fate!"

Before the words faded, his tone shifted and he shrieked:

"Help—"

The voice cut off abruptly.

All the pink "tongues" spun and scattered away.

Jiuyao's entire form vanished, as if he had never existed.

Apparently devouring a Sequence Beast made the 'interrogator' especially satisfied, as all the pink "tongues" slowly retracted.

A deathly silence ensued.

In the quietness, applause rang out.

Everyone turned to look.

Wu Xiaode was seen shaking his head while clapping and saying:

"For everyone's safety, he sacrificed himself to sate the monster's hunger and send it away."

"A round of applause, everyone!"

"For Jiuyao's noble spirit of sacrifice, we must build him a monument!"

Suddenly someone spoke up:

"It was you who killed him."

"Hey, you can eat gangly, but you can't talk gangly," Wu Xiaode glared at the strong figure and sneered, "Everyone saw the 'interrogator' kill him, what's it got to do with me."

That 'person' glared back defiantly at him, about to continue speaking, but suddenly noticed the creeping darkness swirling in his eyes.

He instinctively shut his mouth.
