Douluo: Wuhun is actually Bibidong
Chapter 216 Reappearance of the Chamber of Secrets
Bibi Dong had no choice. In the contest with the Pope's soul, she found that it was difficult to defeat the Pope with her own efforts alone.
So Bibi Dong thought of off-court assistance, hoping to force the Pope to collapse through other means, which would help her win over the Pope.
And after Bibi Dong thought about it, the only thing that could make the Pope collapse was to let him experience the nightmare again.
Although this way, she herself would need to experience it again.
But compared to the Pope, she felt that she should be able to accept being ruined by Su Mo.
After all, she was in Su Mo's body, and she couldn't help but be curious and watched Su Mo's good deeds with other women many times.
In addition, the target was Su Mo. Although she didn't fall in love with Su Mo like she once fell in love with Yu Xiaogang, she didn't care much about being more intimate with Su Mo.
On the contrary, the Pope certainly cannot accept suffering from the Chamber of Secrets again.
That's why Bibi Dong thought of a way to ask Su Mo to help her and help her defeat the pope's soul.
"what?"
Su Mo was stunned when he heard Bibi Dong's request for help.
He wondered if he had heard wrongly, how could Bibi Dong let him do such a thing.
You must know that for Bibi Dong, what he hated most was probably the secret room incident. It can be said that Bibi Dong's darkening began after the secret room incident.
But if it is said that Bibi Dong is trying to break the pope's heart, it makes sense, and the reappearance of the secret room is a good way.
But Su Mo still couldn't believe that Bibi Dong really wanted him to do this.
It is impossible to say that there is no idea in mind.
It's just that after so many years, Su Mo also respects Bibi Dong, so he doesn't think about further development with Bibi Dong.
But if this was Bibi Dong's initiative, Su Mo would definitely not refuse.
"you dare……"
"If you dare to do that, I will definitely kill you..."
In front of Su Mo, Bibi Dong quickly changed his expression, showing anger, fear, and disbelief.
The Pope also didn't expect that Bibi Dong would actually want Su Mo to perform a secret room reenactment on her.
He also recognized Su Mo now, but she had no intention to care about why Su Mo appeared here and what his relationship was with Bibi Dong.
She was now thinking about resisting Bibi Dong's invasion and not letting her body be occupied by Bibi Dong.
"Su Mo, hurry up..."
In front of Su Mo, Bibi Dong's expression quickly changed again.
"you dare!"
"Su Mo, hurry up..."
"If you dare to do it, I will definitely kill you!"
"..."
Bibi Dong and Pope were constantly fighting for control of their bodies. One asked Su Mo to hurry up, and the other threatened Su Mo to stop him from moving.
"Sister Rakshasa, since this is the only way, then I'll be bold!"
As for Su Mo, he definitely didn't take the Pope's threat seriously at all. After confirming that Bibi Dong really wanted him to reappear in the secret room, Su Mo naturally agreed.
Afterwards, Su Mo quickly got started.
"Don't come here, get out of here..."
With the Pope's scream, the nightmare that once belonged to her came again.
At the moment when it really happened, the pope's soul really collapsed, and then he was beaten back by Bibi Dong.
……
In the following period, Su Mo also completely regained control of the woman under him.
After the Pope's collapse, Bibi Dong gradually began to occupy the Pope's body.
The Pope is also a ruthless person. The reappearance of the Chamber of Secrets did make her collapse at first, but when Bibi Dong was about to completely take control of her body, the Pope came to his senses.
She didn't care if the secret room reappeared, just reappear. Anyway, she would not allow her body to be taken away by others.
Even if this person is my future self.
As Bibi Dong gradually invaded her body, she also began to obtain memories belonging to Bibi Dong.
Then the Pope saw the life trajectory that originally belonged to her.
The soul hunting plan was launched a few years ago, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were wiped out. However, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect was not completely wiped out, and all the main characters ran away.
Then he founded the Wuhun Empire and gradually swallowed up the other two empires.
During this period, she was also completing the Nine Tests of the Rakshasa God and searching for soul beasts.
In the Star Dou Forest, he was about to successfully hunt two 10-year-old spirit beasts, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, but Tang San intercepted them.
Later, she and Qian Renxue teamed up to kill Tang San once.
It's a pity that Tang San was resurrected somehow, and then she failed, and finally died in Yu Xiaogang's arms.
And she also told Yu Xiaogang the truth about that year, and persuaded Liu Erlong to find a way to capture Yu Xiaogang.
When he saw these memories, the Pope was really angry to death.
She felt that her future self was so stupid, especially after killing Tang San, why did she still give the two empires three days to think about it?
Wouldn't it be better to defeat them directly!
In that case, even if Tang San is resurrected, it will not be easy to prevent the Wuhun Empire from unifying the continent, because the two empires have already been destroyed.
There was also the relationship with Qian Renxue, which surprised her very much.
My future self actually truly accepted Qian Renxue.
However, the Pope was also very shocked when he thought that Qian Renxue was willing to risk his life to save her, so it was not surprising that he was willing to accept Qian Renxue.
After reading these memories, the Pope naturally had a very strange situation in his heart and felt that something was wrong.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that there were many differences between the experiences in Bibi Dong's memories and what she was experiencing now.
The first thing that was different was the champion of the soul master competition.
In her experience, it was the Tiandou Royal Team led by Su Mo that won the Soul Master Competition.
But in Bibi Dong's memory, it was the Shrek team led by Yu Xiaogang that won the final championship.
There was also the fusion of Horcruxes and the soul-training weapon that Su Mo later invented.
Anyway, there are many differences, and all the differences seem to be related to Su Mo.
The Pope also realized immediately that Su Mo was not simple.
Sure enough, in the next Bibi Dong's memory, she also knew Su Mo's identity, and he was also a time traveler.
Then the Pope saw what happened after Bibi Dong became Su Mo's martial spirit.
Seeing that Bibi Dong wanted to trick Su Mo into becoming a disciple of Yu Xiaogang in order to get close contact with him, the Pope still approved of it.
If it were her, she would definitely do the same.
It was a pity that Yu Xiaogang refused in the end, but fortunately Su Mo was good enough and finally entered Shrek Academy with his strong ability.
Finally, the Pope also saw what Yu Xiaogang said.
"impossible……"
"It's absolutely impossible..."
"Fake, these memories are all fake..."
After discovering Yu Xiaogang's true identity, the Pope immediately collapsed again and was unwilling to accept this reality.
"Xiao Gang, no..." Then the scene changed, and the Pope saw the scene of Yu Xiaogang's tragic death in Bibi Dong's hands, and he suddenly became more and more collapsed.
hum-
Bibi Dong took advantage of the moment when the Pope collapsed again, and quickly completed the erosion of the Pope's soul, allowing her consciousness to completely cover the Pope's consciousness, and finally succeeded in seizing the body and truly occupying the Pope's body.
"Su Mo, I really succeeded this time..."
Bibi Dong opened her eyes and shared her surprise with Su Mo.
Only after opening her eyes did she realize that Su Mo was carrying her legs.
"what……"
Then countless feelings came over her, and Bibi Dong suddenly couldn't utter a complete sentence.
……
"Sister Rakshasa, did you often spy on me doing things in the past?"
Afterwards, Su Mo smiled at Bibi Dong while holding Bibi Dong's body.
"Where... where is there..."
How could Bibi Dong be willing to admit it?
"Then why are those movements so familiar to you, Sister Rakshasa? You will understand them as soon as I tell them?"
Su Mo laughed again and said that after what happened before, he no longer respected Bibi Dong as a teacher and sister.
"Anyway, there is none!"
Bibi Dong blushed and refused to admit it.
"Sister Rakshasa, I'll leave it to you at the Wuhun Palace!"
Seeing that Bibi Dong was so embarrassed, Su Mo stopped teasing Bibi Dong and quickly changed the subject.
Naturally, they wanted Bibi Dong to carry out what they had agreed to do.
Let Bibi Dong lead the Wuhun Palace to secretly help Su Mo's Tiandou Empire completely devour the Xingluo Empire.
"...Well, don't worry, leave it all to me!"
Bibi Dong worked hard to maintain her dignity as a teacher and sister.
While Bibi Dong was talking, she quickly got up and got dressed.
As soon as he thought of his performance just now, Bibi Dong found that he could no longer maintain any dignity in front of Su Mo.
Seeing Bibi Dong's actions, Su Mo also got up and put on his clothes.
After Bibi Dong got dressed, she walked aside and picked up the Rakshasa Magic Scythe.
[The seventh test of Rakshasa God is completed! 】
After Bibi Dong picked up the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe, he easily gained the recognition of the Rakshasa Demonic Scythe again, and in his consciousness he also received the test of completing the seventh test of the Rakshasa God.
"I've completed my seventh exam!"
Bibi Dong waved the Rakshasa Sickle in her hand, turned to Su Mo and said excitedly.
As for why she was excited, of course it was because she received the reminder to complete the assessment, which proved that she had truly taken the Pope's body, which also meant that she could continue to complete the inheritance assessment of the Rakshasa God.
"Okay, this way Sister Rakshasa can successfully become Rakshasa God!"
Su Mo said happily when he heard Bibi Dong's words.
"of course!"
Bibi Dong is also confident about this.
After all, she had already completed it once, and it would not be difficult for her to do it again.
The only difficulty is that starting the ninth test of Rakshasa God requires a lot of soul power.
And she hasn't started capturing soul masters yet, so she needs to do it as soon as possible.
"Sister Rakshasa, when you go back, don't secretly capture soul masters like you did before!"
"If necessary then, just go to the Killing City and catch him!"
Su Mo also thought of the problems Bibi Dong faced and quickly said to Bibi Dong.
It turns out that Bibi Dong captured many soul masters who were actually not bad people. Since there were better candidates in the killing city, Su Mo naturally didn't want Bibi Dong to harm those soul masters who had done no evil.
"Murder City..."
"Yes, the City of Killing has not been destroyed as before. It will be enough for me to go to the City of Killing and capture a group of soul masters!"
Bibi Dong's eyes lit up when she heard Su Mo's words, and she responded.
In fact, in the future time and space, when she learned that she would need a lot of soul power to start the ninth test of Rakshasa God, she had considered going to the Killing City.
But at that time, she had already heard the news from her disciple Hu Liena that the Killing City had been completely destroyed.
Afterwards, Bibi Dong asked Su Mo to take her back to Wuhun Hall.
She knew very well that Su Mo had the coordinates in Wuhun Hall.
And there are more than one. There is one inside Wuhun City, and there is another positioning coordinate on Hu Liena after outside Wuhun City.
Bibi Dong went back to help him complete the unification of the continent faster. Su Mo naturally would not refuse, and then sent Bibi Dong back.
After sending Bibi Dong back to Wuhun Hall, Su Mo stayed in a daze for a while.
Since a long time ago, Bibi Dong's soul has been living on him, and Su Mo has long been used to having Bibi Dong in his body.
It disappeared all of a sudden, and Su Mo was obviously not used to it.
Although his second martial soul, the Raksha God martial soul, is still on him, there is only one dead thing left, just a simple martial soul, without any thought or soul.
But Su Mo was mostly happy.
After all, this also helped Bibi Dong truly resurrect.
This is a good thing for Bibi Dong, no one wants to stay on someone else's body all the time.
sigh~
Su Mo's figure disappeared on the spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in a deserted place outside the city.
"Soul call!"
Su Mo summoned the Rakshasa spirit.
The figure of Wuhun Bibi Dong immediately appeared in front of Su Mo.
"Sure enough, there is no way we can continue to let this martial spirit fight alone!"
Su Mo looked at the martial spirit Bibi Dong in front of him and sighed.
From now on, when he uses the second martial spirit, he can only fight with the spirit possessing him.
The previous way of fighting as a summoned pet is no longer possible.
From this point of view, Bibi Dong's departure is now a weakening for Su Mo, but Su Mo doesn't care now.
Anyway, he can still summon his two martial spirits to fight at the same time, the Rakshasa God martial spirit to possess him, and the soul hunting gun spirit in hand.
The soul skills of the two martial spirits can also be used at will.
Su Mo then realized that there was actually a soul in him, and that was Xiao Wu.
But even if Xiao Wu is here, there is no way for Xiao Wu to enter the Rakshasa Divine Martial Spirit.
"Let's go to the Killing City next and return Bo Saixi's favor in advance!"
After putting away the martial spirit Bibi Dong, Su Mo quickly made the next decision.

Bibi Dong and Pope were constantly fighting for control of their bodies. One asked Su Mo to hurry up, and the other threatened Su Mo to stop him from moving.

With the Pope's scream, the nightmare that once belonged to her came again.

In the following period, Su Mo also completely regained control of the woman under him.

In that case, even if Tang San is resurrected, it will not be easy to prevent the Wuhun Empire from unifying the continent, because the two empires have already been destroyed.
There was also the relationship with Qian Renxue, which surprised her very much.
My future self actually truly accepted Qian Renxue.
However, the Pope was also very shocked when he thought that Qian Renxue was willing to risk his life to save her, so it was not surprising that he was willing to accept Qian Renxue.
After reading these memories, the Pope naturally had a very strange situation in his heart and felt that something was wrong.

"Let's go to the Killing City next and return Bo Saixi's favor in advance!"
After putting away the martial spirit Bibi Dong, Su Mo quickly made the next decision.
