Chapter 52: The Final Battle (3)
"So good?"
Gu Yi turned his head and noticed that not only did the medical staff not help the Dean, but they even intentionally or unintentionally his path, preventing him from moving forward.
So, this is the concept of reaping what you sow, 'good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds have consequences?'
The obstruction from these medical staff was highly passive, but at least it slowed down the Dean's progress. Gu Yi speculated that if he hadn't killed those innocent doctors, maybe all the doctors would have actively assisted him now.
"Stop right there, you little brat!"
The Dean rushed out of the hospital gate, his speed not too far behind Gu Yi, only two or three feet apart.
While running, Gu Yi took out a spider egg and a toad from his pocket.
Crack!

The spider egg started to crack open.
Gu Yi quickly smashed the spider egg onto the Dean.
The Dean instinctively opened his arms and held the spider egg in his embrace.
"What the hell?"
The spider egg shook three times.
A giant spider emerged from the broken egg, its fangs as thick as arms, heading straight for the Dean.
The Dean was horrified, but Unspeakable acted promptly, materializing into a solid form and punching the giant spider, sending it flying.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
The spider let out a cry of pain and flew out of the hospital square.
Gu Yi had no interest in watching the battle and continued to sprint towards the gate.
"Stop him!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The Dean's voice came from behind.
Gu Yi glanced up and saw the shop owner standing at the gate with a double-barreled hunting rifle.
Click!
The bullet was loaded.
The shop owner lifted the rifle, aiming at Gu Yi.
Gu Yi broke out in a cold sweat but couldn't stop his footsteps.
Bang!
The muzzle spewed flames.
The bullet grazed Gu Yi's cheek and flew backward, accurately hitting Unspeakable's chest.
Unspeakable staggered back two steps, reaching into the wound to extract the bullet.
Click!
The shop owner reloaded the ammunition, pointing towards the gate, and said, "Go out. Once you're out, his power will be nullified. I'll hold him back for you!"
As soon as the words fell...
The large iron gate of the hospital slowly opened, revealing that the shop owner was holding the remote control for the gate.
"Thanks!"
Gu Yi swung his arms and ran faster than Usain Bolt.
Finally, he burst out of the hospital gate.
The air outside the hospital was humid and sultry, and Gu Yi was drenched in sweat after running for a while.
Gu Yi panted heavily, feeling his brute strength gradually dissipating—the effects of the red pill were wearing off.
"No, I can't..."
Gritting his teeth, Gu Yi persisted and continued running forward. He took out another red pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
His strength reached its peak once again.
Gu Yi kept running forward.
He faintly felt an invisible barrier ahead, preventing him from moving further.
Creak, creak...
A series of grating sounds came from behind.
Gu Yi instinctively turned his head to look.
Unspeakable was slowly walking towards him step by step.
He appeared relaxed and leisurely, but he was walking even faster than Gu Yi was running.
A cold sweat dripped down Gu Yi's forehead, and his heart raced up to his throat.
"Just a little more, just a little more!"
Gu Yi shouted loudly and reached out his hand toward the transparent barrier ahead.
"Argh..."
Gu Yi's throat tightened.
Unspeakable's dark hand grabbed his throat.
At some point, the Unspeakable appeared in front of Gu Yi. He was pitch black, with only his eyes flashing red.
"You? You think you can escape from my prison?"
"Let... go..."
Gu Yi raised the bone-cutting knife and swung it forcefully at Unspeakable's face.
Unspeakable let out a cry of pain. He forcefully slammed Gu Yi to the ground, and Gu Yi's elephant mask immediately shattered into eight pieces.
"Ah!"
Gu Yi's vision went black as if two of his ribs had been broken.
"You're finished!" Unspeakable said coldly, "Repent in the void!"
Gu Yi felt a chill all over his body.
The weightlessness of being swallowed by the void struck him again.
The void surged towards him like an endless tide, gradually erasing the surrounding scenery, turning everything into nothingness.
"Calm down! Calm down, Gu Yi!"
Gu Yi clutched his chest and struggled to get up from the ground.
The tide of the void rushed towards him.
He raised the bone-cutting knife and temporarily resisted the invasion of the void.
However, the void was relentless, gradually eroding Gu Yi's body and soul.
"There must be... there must be some information I haven't noticed, there must be a way to deal with the Unspeakable!"
"It's not a hopeless situation yet!"
"Think, think!"
"Think, Gu Yi!"
"Don't give up!"
Crack.
Gu Yi's kangaroo pants couldn't withstand the pressure and turned into nothingness, and the masks in his pockets flew out.
The tide of the void engulfed Gu Yi's lower body.
The handmade mask of Toto landed on the liquidy surface of the void, and the red bloody words on the back of the mask emitted a dazzling red light.
[When I take off the mask, I can finally see everything clearly.]
[Remember, there's no such thing as a free lunch.]
[Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds have consequences. It's the only principle you need to abide by.]
Why?
Why did Toto write "when I take off the mask" instead of "when you take off the mask" in the first sentence of the mask?
Throughout the dungeon, Toto always used the second person pronoun to address the adventurer.
Only in moments of emotional loss of control or writing a diary would the first person pronoun be used.
The use of the first-person pronoun here must have a specific meaning.
Gu Yi trembled all over, and an image of Toto's lifeless body immediately appeared in his mind.
She had no face.
Her face had been torn off by someone else.
No!
That's not it!
She voluntarily shed her own face to see the truth.
That handmade mask was made of Toto's own face.
In the hospital, everyone wore masks.
Even the patients wore masks, except their masks were their own faces.
The purpose of the face was to hypnotize the patients, to subject them to social conditioning and deep hypnosis, keeping them perpetually trapped in cognitive disorders, forever unable to see the truth.
By tearing off their own face, they could see the truth!
"I understand now."
Gu Yi gripped the bone-cutting knife in reverse and stabbed it into his own face.
Without the resistance of the bone-cutting knife, the tide of the void instantly swallowed Gu Yi's body...
In the real world.
Gu Yi's actions stirred the hearts of billions of humans.
They watched Gu Yi in awe as he overcame one danger after another and successfully ran to the entrance of the hospital.
"Hurry, run faster!"
"Come on, Gu Yi!"
"Gu Yi, you're my hero!"
The Dragon Country Strategy Team stood in front of the monitor, holding their breath, and Gu Yi's family gathered behind him.
"Gu Yi did a great job!"
The team leader clenched his fist tightly, shattering the writing desk.
When Gu Yi rushed out of the hospital gate, he also jumped up excitedly.
"Did he make it? Did he really make it?"
"A death rate of one hundred percent, and Gu Yi passed!"
"Wait, leader, look! It seems like something is blocking Gu Yi?"
Everyone refocused their attention on the monitor.
Gu Yi was by a transparent wall of air and couldn't move forward.
Unspeakable instantly appeared in front of Gu Yi, raised a black fist, and pushed him into the endless void.
The entire strategy team fell into silence.
Gu Yi's family hugged each other, unable to hold back their tears.
—No adventurer who has been pushed into the endless void has ever survived.
The barrage in the live broadcast was filled with sorrow.
The team leader couldn't believe it and held onto the monitor, refusing to leave.
"Leader... announce the failure of the strategy."
The team leader remained silent.
"The Weird powers will soon come to our country. We need to quickly find a way to deal with them. The Lighthouse Country has already transmitted the latest information about the weirdness, and we are about to join the research."
"Gu Yi is not dead yet, and you are already surrendering?" The leader coldly looked at his subordinates. "As long as the live broadcast is still on, there is still hope."
