Chapter 498 "Whisper of the Inner Devil" Not Afraid of Dad's Words

"If I guess correctly..."

Jiang Qian cleared his throat, his tense body gradually relaxed, and then he slowly straightened his back:
"The dream net in Screening Room 1, the dagger in Screening Room 2, and the legendary letter I just read in the consciousness space, represent the three key points of the hidden mission "Whisper of the Heart Devil", right? Every time I get an item, the copy will prompt the progress of the viewing mission..."

As he moved and narrated, his breathing gradually became more stable, and his mental state also showed signs of improvement:
"I originally thought that I was able to walk out of the first door because I pulled myself away from the fire of lust in time; I was able to walk out of the second door because I remained rational in the state of negative emotional stress... I took the dream net and dagger obtained from the two screening rooms, and held back for the last round to make a big ticket!"

At the end, there was even a hint of a smile on his face:
"And now that we're here, you tell me that all this was given for nothing?"

"?"

This time it was the other party who looked troubled.

Jiang Qian didn't beat around the bush and simply took on the attitude of a super genius looking down on the crowd, giving a fair evaluation:

"You are telling me that the process of clearing the customs is meaningless. The reason why I can come here is because of my identity. I am destined to open this door and meet my fate. Sorry, this design... is too bad."

The "remnant soul" beside the campfire twitched his mouth, and was choked by these words and speechless.

Then, he pressed his hands on his knees and leaped up from the ground with his nearly 1.9-meter-tall body:

"That's enough! I don't know who was so upset that he was crying and threatening to die, and now he's picking on me?"

He restrained his previous patience and demeanor towards Jiang Qian, and his charming uncle face revealed only three words - unhappy!

"Your journey is over. The purpose of the replay summons is to reveal the hidden information in your mind and let you see your own life experience clearly. Now the goal has been achieved. Take your spoils and take care of yourself!"

After the man finished speaking, he turned his back and ignored Jiang Qian.

At the right moment, the copy prompt suddenly came to my ears:
【Hint: The hidden mission has been completed. 】

[Judgment: This "Whisper of the Inner Devil" dungeon has been successfully cleared! ]

[It is expected to be sent back after "settlement", will it enter settlement? 】

--see a visitor out!

"Honestly, you are not a remnant soul, right?"

Jiang Qian glanced at the three items on the ground:

"He didn't need to leave behind both his soul and a separate letter. One of the two can be omitted, unless you are not his soul. You are not him, so you can't dictate the contents of the letter completely. You are just a simple messenger."

The man with his back to Jiang Qian's pupils slightly tightened, and he barely raised the corners of his mouth: "You kid, you are really hard to please..."

As he spoke, he also glanced at the bonfire beside him that was about to go out. The previously blazing flames had faded away, and a faint blue shadow flashed from time to time in the fire.

At this point, a sense of urgency flashed across the man's eyes.

But his tone was still cryptic: "I am considering that you are pressed for time, and a long speech would violate the rules of the recall subpoena."

"That's even weirder."

Jiang Qian smiled, his tone was like teasing:

"After I obtained the legendary letter, the 'countdown' in the dungeon prompt ended, and it told me that the hidden mission had been completed. If the dungeon rules can be influenced to this extent, why bother with the time limit? Can't you just remove the limit for me?"

"..."

"Could it be that you don't want to at all? If there is no time limit, you will have to answer my questions endlessly. Well... the more you talk, the easier it will be to reveal your flaws, and you might not be able to continue acting someday, right?" Jiang Qian thought intently, half talking to himself, half chatting.

The man frowned when he heard this, and finally couldn't help but turn around and said, "Do you think the evolution copy is a place where you can come and go freely and take whatever you want?!"

Jiang Qian was slightly startled, his eyes focused on the other person's face.

At this time, the bonfire beside the two people had completely gone out, and gray smoke was rising.

The face of the man who originally had the appearance of Yun Zhongshuo changed several times and finally remained at a face that was unfamiliar to Jiang Qian: thin cheeks, sharp eyebrows and eyes, and his gray hair was covered by naturally drooping curls - this was the face of a man with a gloomy face and he looked like he was not someone he was going to mess with.

"Oh, this is great, I've completely messed up..."

The man inserted his slender fingers into his hair, rubbed it naturally, tidied up the slightly messy curls, tucked them behind his ears, and sighed into the air:

"But you can't blame me, Yun Zhongshuo. You can only blame your son for being too cunning! He's such a difficult kid. He's not even afraid of his own father's words..."

In these few short breaths, the emotions on the man's face changed again and again, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes affectionate...

His expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book. Not only that, his voice also changed subtly, from the previous low and magnetic tone to a soft and high pitched tone.

But Jiang Qian remained unmoved.

Apart from the initial hint of surprise, he just watched the other party's "performance" coldly.

Finally, he sighed and said, "That makes sense."

"What?" The strange man opposite raised his voice.

Before the other party could continue speaking, Jiang Qian raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, and took out a pair of black-framed glasses out of thin air, with a small and exquisite pin hanging on the end.

The man narrowed his eyes.

"Props: mysterious glasses and hidden pins."

Jiang Qian briefly introduced the functions of the props.

The pin was given by Ji Ming. When worn, it can hide the prop that comes into contact with it; the mysterious glasses can identify strange energy.

"I'm sorry, but I knew from the beginning that you were not a simple remnant soul. Through the mysterious glasses, it is easy to identify the extraordinary source of energy in you - the same material as my demon clones."

After mastering the "weird" skill, Jiang Qian can now easily distinguish the material of strange energy, including the seven demon clones in the demon suit.

"So I judged that you are part of the Whispering Demon, and your status is higher than the seven demon clones. But because I don't know your purpose, I just guarded against you, but didn't expose you immediately."

Jiang Qian looked at the man face to face, and the latter's rich expression finally stopped changing.

To be precise, he was stunned.

It was not because the disguise was exposed, but because he tasted another meaning from Jiang Qian's words.

"I understand……"

After a tense silence, the man let out a sigh of relief and said with emotion:

"I understand why you were able to calm down quickly after receiving 'that kind of information'... Logically, your missing emotions have just been restored, and you should be in a sensitive period of emotional adaptation. How could your mental state be so stable after receiving such a major stimulus?"

"Haha, now I understand, because you never believed the contents of the letter. You detached yourself from yourself, looking at your current experience from an outsider's perspective, and just regarded it as a task, a game."

"I have to say, this is a very smart strategy! I have seen many hard-hearted people, but few can really stay out of it like you do."

The man shook his head repeatedly as he spoke, and his expression became more emotional again.

His sickly appearance combined with his disorganized mood was terrifying enough.

But this didn't scare Jiang Qian - he had seen more exaggerated things, so he had long been immune to most visual stimuli:
"I think you misunderstood. Staying out of it wasn't a strategy—it was my choice."

Jiang Qian said with a firm tone:

"Who I am, what my identity is, and what choices I will make in the future are not told to me by others, but defined by myself!"

"Whether it's Yun Zhuo or Jiang Qian, true or false, I will always be myself."

“……”The man was silent again.

"Besides, I trust a clear mind more than indulging my emotions."

Jiang Qian said, picking up the black box of the Devil Suit on the ground and opening the lid facing the other party:

"Can we talk frankly now? Your Excellency has gone to so much trouble to reveal my identity. What is your purpose? And... why did my demon clone disappear?"

The black box covered with strange runes was now empty.

The man raised his lips and said, "You have already seen the real me, why do you need those clones?"

Jiang Qian's pupils suddenly tightened: "What do you mean? Explain yourself clearly."

The man's expression changes, and various emotions switch seamlessly on his face, making people extremely physically uncomfortable:
"What else can it mean? As you can see, I am the master of "Whisper of the Heart Demon", and the seven demon clones are my clones."
