NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 716 You are in league with the fraudsters
At the same time, Jiang You had entered the dungeon again.
A lantern broke the pitch-black darkness, and the monster lying in the dark corner slowly opened its eyes.
When the light from the lantern was getting closer and closer to his eyes, Jiang You suddenly pulled out a high-intensity flashlight and shone the blue light directly at the monster's face. Under the light, the monster's eyeballs began to shrink violently, becoming the size of soybeans, leaving behind a large area of strange whites.
No different from those people in Chenjia Village.
Jiang You raised her scarlet lips, her pale complexion making her look like a successful female ghost.
"As expected..."
The monster looked at her without saying a word.
She put away the blue flashlight, took the lantern in her hand, found an open space next to the monster, and sat down on the ground.
"Hello, let me formally introduce myself. My name is Jiang You. You may not have heard of my name, but it doesn't matter, you will remember it in the future."
The moment he finished speaking, Jiang You scratched his wrist with his sharp nails. Bright red blood as thin as a spider silk slowly flowed out from the wound and floated in the air.
The monster stared at the flames, and its soybean-sized pupils contracted violently.
Before it could speak, Jiang You continued, "It's your turn now. Why don't you introduce yourself? It's a bit presumptuous to always call you Brother Jiu Yue. After all, you have your own name."
She looked relaxed, with just the right smile on her face, and her casual look made her look as natural as if she was just looking for an old friend to chat with on a whim.
After saying this, he was not in a hurry and waited patiently for the other party's reply.
The monster was silent for a moment, as if trying to recall something. Its deformed mouth opened and closed slightly, and it uttered two words, "... Wen Yu..."
"Listen to what people say and think twice before you act. It's a good name." Jiang You nodded.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since someone asked him his name.
He was forgotten in that dark place, like a dead fish that had not been sold in the market, thrown in a corner and rotting and stinking silently.
The only things that remembered him were the fungi and plants that grew from his original body.
These things ate his memory and body, and grew into his appearance.
Jiang You asked him, "How long have you been in the abyss?"
The monster rolled his eyes slowly, "... a long time... a long time..."
"Then you must have not seen September for a long time, right? Why were you left in the abyss in the first place?"
The monster looked at her, waiting for her next words.
"I have seen the monsters you split in the illusion. Let us make a bold guess.
September’s ability is to die in place of others, and your ability is to split. The abilities between you two siblings can form a perfect closed loop.
This means that as long as you are there, September can use her abilities without limit, because you can split into a clone at any time to die for her.
In the entire Dawn Tower, everyone used their abilities very carefully, because they knew that every time they used this thing, they would be one step closer to death...
Only September is different, because she can die in place of others, so her ability can be used the fastest...
Oh, by the way, maybe you don’t know what the Dawn Tower is, it’s a long story…”
Jiang You was like a storyteller, patiently recounting the scenes from his first time entering the Tower of Dawn to his first time meeting September.
The empty cave was very quiet, and Jiang You's story echoed coldly in the empty cave.
Monster, no, to be precise, it’s Wen Yu.
The monster listened quietly when he heard the words. Sometimes Jiang You was not even sure whether the monster had listened to his story.
After Jiang You finished speaking, the monster made a hoarse breathing sound.
"...Sister...sad..."
Jiang You: "Of course I'm sad. After all, the prerequisite for dying for someone else is not only that the other person is truly willing to die for September, but also that September must return the same sincerity.
It's not just Gu Mingshi. Who knows how painful Jiu Yue was when your substitute died?
No one cares. It's the end of the world. Who will care about your pitiful heart? It's a blessing to be alive.
You are Jiu Yue's only relative, don't you want to leave that damn place and stay with your family forever?"
Seeing that the monster was still hesitating, Jiang You launched a final attack.
“You’ve been trapped here for half a month, but no copy has come out. I guess you’re much weaker than when I saw you in the illusion.
With a condition like this, can you still create an endless supply of scapegoats for September?
Do you have the ability to escape from this Black Flame Prison?
I guess the answer is no.
Your sister is in Longshan. Her life and death are in my hands.
You have two options.
First, agree to my conditions, help me find the entrance to the abyss, and open it! I promise to protect September to the best of my ability.
Second, I will infinitely squeeze September's abilities until the black flame assimilates her, and you will watch her turn into a pool of black water..."
The monster's eyes struggled when he heard this, "The abyss... is a disaster... sinners..."
Jiang You had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
The wound on his wrist did not heal quickly under her pressure. The fire that flowed out of his body like blood and lingered in the air slowly fell on the monster's skin, wagging its tail like a leech and trying to get into his body and suck him dry...
“Wen Yu, you see, what flows in my body is not blood. I am a monster just like you.
No, to be precise, I am more suitable to be a monster than you because you still have concerns.
And I don't, I can sacrifice anyone, including myself.
I must know where these things in my body come from. My life cannot always be controlled by others."
The way Red Eyes taught her could only suppress these things, but there was no way she could completely make these fires her own.
Jiang You knew clearly that that guy was also using him.
But she had no choice but to use the force.
Make yourself the most perfect vessel step by step, but no one... is willing to live in the fear of death at any time for the rest of their life, and no one is willing to be a vessel for the rest of their life!
"Wen Yu, the abyss cannot be stopped from opening, but you can decide who opens it first. If you help me, you are also helping yourself!"
Upon hearing this, the monster turned its eyes with difficulty to look at her, and its movements were very slow, like an old and dilapidated machine.
After a long time, he made up his mind and spoke slowly.
"You are in league with... deceivers..."
