Chapter 474: Irreversible!
Upon encountering another self who suddenly uttered these words, Yan Junze didn't respond immediately. Instead, startled, he closely examined the other's clothing.
Black casual sportswear, a black backpack as well, identical to the one he was currently carrying.
But at this moment, he was wearing black pants and a dark grey coat, recalling carefully, it seems he was dressed like this the last time he activated the Great Rewind to stop the Half Moon Association's Summoning Ritual.
It was just that later, before entering Ghost Apartment, he had the hotel's attendant buy another set of clothes for him.
That is to say, the self in front of him might be the one who entered the Space-Time Rift after encountering the Reaper Morrison at the mall last time.
With this thought, everything became clear.
"Was Morrison killed by the Dark Poison you used?" Yan Junze revealed a smile.
"Is that so? Does it mean I've succeeded? Sorry, but not yet,"
The seated Yan Junze in black spread his hands, showing a bitter smile, "Actually, I just wanted to find out why the Half Moon Association was targeting me; otherwise, they wouldn't have set an ambush at the mall for no reason. I think it's because I angered them when I saved the Back-faced Woman and Ke'er in Zhen City."
"So you performed a Great Rewind to check if that was the reason."
"Right."
"And then you discovered that you had been there before."
Yan Junze in black smiled bitterly again: "Now I know, it was you who went."
"Yes," Yan Junze nodded and asked, "What did you do after that?"
Yan Junze in black said, "After realizing I couldn't directly confront Morrison, I went to the Underground Space in Mountain Park, intending to ask Rock for some Dark Poison. It turned out that the kid had moved to the biggest Spirit Bridge, but he left his information there in the Underground Space."
"Hmm, I know, I met with Rock later on too," Yan Junze said.
Yan Junze in black looked surprised, then continued: "After I found him, I got some Dark Poison from him. He taught me the exact usage, but I couldn't enter the Reaper abode of the Half Moon Association, hence I couldn't get close to Morrison to secretly poison him."
Yan Junze understood; in other words, the Yan Junze in black clothes waiting for him in the Void was here because he had not succeeded in poisoning Morrison.
However, he had already seen the result: Morrison died in the mall due to the Dark Poison, which indicated that Yan Junze in black would eventually succeed in poisoning him, he just hadn't found the right method yet.
"Tell me how to use this Dark Poison, I'll help you think of a way," Yan Junze said.
Yan Junze in black laughed: "Helping myself, do you think this is a case of one plus one equals two?"
"Perhaps, maybe even greater than two." Yan Junze also smiled.
Yan Junze in black nodded, organized his thoughts, and explained: "As long as Morrison releases his Reaper-specific magnetic field, I can deploy the Dark Poison within that field. The Dark Poison will locate him according to the magnetic particles and silently attach to him. Once he reaches a critical point during one of his releases, the hidden Dark Poison will collapse and erupt."
After a pause, he added: "This was Rock's poisoning suggestion after considering the huge disparity in strength between me and Morrison."
It must be said, based on Yan Junze's past experiences, the Yan Junze in black would be very successful in this matter.
"I have a suggestion for you," Yan Junze said.
"Go on."
Yan Junze didn't speak immediately but walked up to Yan Junze in black, squatted down, and placed his right hand over the other's heart.
Yan Junze in black was startled but didn't stop him.
The strong and powerful sensation of the heartbeat vibrated through the palm.
Yan Junze tilted his head as if counting.
A moment later, he retracted his hand, confirming that this heart was original, as its beating was normal like any other person's.
His current self, because of the white long worms residing and coexisting in the heart, had a much slower rhythm than before, yet it was more powerful and robust.
"I'm going to give you a route to lure Morrison into your trap, but first, you need to eliminate a few powerful strangenesses to draw his true form out, making it convenient for you to poison him," Yan Junze said. "Based on my current experience, that encounter will be the best opportunity for you to poison him."
"Really?" Yan Junze in black straightened up.
"But I must also warn you beforehand, this upcoming exorcism could be the greatest jeopardy you face in your life, but I believe you will turn danger into safety," Yan Junze stood up and spread his hands, "otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here right now."
Upon saying this, he took out paper and pen, and wrote down all the information about the strangenesses: the Zombie Bride, Alabell, and the Ghost Apartment located at 101 Hobsonk Street, Saint Gala City, Great Capital, USA.
"They must be taken care of one by one, otherwise it won't be possible to get Morrison himself to take the bait and enter the Ghost Apartment." He tore off the paper with the task information and handed it to Yan Junze in black, "Once you've finished these tasks and return, just wait for Morrison's poison to activate."
Seeing Yan Junze in black looking carefully at the paper with the task information, Yan Junze added, "The moment you return, our memories may merge, and all questions will be answered."
"I understand," Yan Junze in black nodded, "It's the same path you've walked before, just this time it's on me, with the purpose altered."
"Different paths lead to the same destination, this might also be an inevitable journey," Yan Junze nodded, then looked around the peculiar space, "It's just that in this unique place, we've both been through a turning point."
