Chapter 495 "The Whispers of the Inner Demon" Father and Son
Countless complicated thoughts roared in my mind, forming a mushroom cloud-like explosion!
Jiang Qian suddenly woke up from this "explosion", turned over, and coughed violently...
"Cough, cough!"
In addition to the blood foam in his mouth, there was also some strange taste that he could not touch, which was similar to the taste of ginseng fruit... At this moment, his mind was still buzzing, and he had no time to care about these details. He only knew that he finally returned to the corridor alive.
The light above the head was dim, and beside him, the spirit-swallowing beast was howling and calling.
Jiang Qian supported the floor with one hand and raised his head following the sound. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at his chest, and his scalp suddenly went numb - a familiar dagger was inserted in the middle of his chest!
"?!"
The numb pain finally started again. Jiang Qian gritted his teeth and stood up. He held the exposed handle of the dagger with both hands and carefully pulled out the sharp blade under the keen attention of his spiritual vision...

It's so close, just a short distance from the heart... Jiang Qian gasped, feeling that the knife wound on his chest was repairing itself at an extraordinary speed. He looked at the sperm-swallowing beast aside with a strange expression, and the saliva remaining at the corner of this guy's mouth. .
"Could you be..." Jiang Qian pointed to the other person's mouth, and then pointed to his own, "That half a ginseng fruit?"
"Ouch~" The sperm-swallowing beast blinked its big copper bell-like eyes, licked its oily chin with its tongue, and said proudly, "Ouch!"
"You!" Jiang Qian raised his big palm sadly and wanted to teach this evil beast a lesson on the spot.
Unexpectedly, the evil beast suddenly transformed! She turned into a beautiful girl in animal skin, with a childish and innocent face, and performed a cross-species cross-dressing on the spot...
"..." At this time, Jiang Qian couldn't tell whether he should be disgusted or moved.
Although the sperm-swallowing beast was not able to be brought into the screening room to play the role of escort, it at least... shared the fruits...
Otherwise, based on his own recovery power, it would take a lot of time just to wake up.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qian glanced at the countdown in his field of vision: 18 minutes left!
Considered well off.
Based on the time spent on the first two doors, it should be enough to get in and out of the last door.
"It's just..."
The experience inside the door just now was like a catastrophe.
It destroyed his complacency and subverted his understanding of himself.
On the road to pursuing the truth, Jiang Qian always seemed to be running in a fog. He could not see the way forward and was pursued by soldiers from all walks of life. He continued to collect clues and evidence, trying to find an opportunity in the chaos. .
And as he uncovered more and more clues, and dug deeper and deeper into the secrets, the truth and falsehood became more confusing. For him, it became an open-book exam, and the amount of thinking increased step by step!
But thinking and inference alone are not enough. The last step is needed: confirmation.
An inference without proof is just an inference, and it is no closer to the truth than other inferences.
However, the copy found a new way and gave Jiang Qian new inspiration.
Including the "identity reveal" shown to him in Screening Room No. 2, he realized that instead of pondering in the existing huge logical system, it is better to change his mind and try to think in another person's shoes, maybe there will be new surprises.
Perhaps it was precisely because he always held the belief in the copy of the game deep in his heart that he would not be completely lost.
How can a talented player easily get lost in a game?
Jiang Qian lowered his head and looked at the dagger in his hand. The knife was still stained with his blood, and his body was also stained with wet water stains brought from the No. 2 projection room...
Take a sideways look at Screening Room 2.
The door has long been firmly closed, as if it had never been opened.
But he couldn't forget how he escaped.
At that time, the chaotic clues were connected into a whole. Pushed by an invisible force, he drew a knife and stabbed the boy who was dripping with water!
Just like eager to destroy the remaining part of the self-consciousness about the "real Jiang Qian"...
The boy remained motionless, with a dull expression. Even when he saw the dagger stabbing him, he showed no tendency to dodge... On the contrary, he faced the stabbing dagger, stretched out his delicate arms, and hugged Jiang Qian.
But Jiang Qian was determined to kill.
In the past, he would never be deceived by such "abnormal behavior". He would only strengthen his mind and not give up until he achieved his goal.
But at that time, Jiang Qian suddenly saw Yun Zhuo in the boy...
Before the young Yunzhuo was stabbed, he also threw himself into his mother's arms without reservation.
Yun Zhuo's mother also stabbed the same dagger into his body from the same angle and took her own life at the same time.
Jiang Qian, who was alerted, quickly stopped, but the tip of the knife had inevitably penetrated...
At the same time, he was overwhelmed by the turbulent thoughts. When he woke up, he found that he was already outside the door of the screening room.
Just imagine, what if he stabbed it without hesitation?
Perhaps the last remaining thoughts of the owner of this body can be erased.
So, is there any chance that he, a man who occupies a magpie's nest, will be wiped out in ashes?
Jiang Qian pressed the wound on his chest. Fortunately, the wound was not deep. His energy and energy recovered with the consumption of ginseng juice, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This door is using my evil thoughts to force me to commit suicide. The dove's occupation of the magpie's nest was Yun Zhuo's clever attempt to seize Jiang Qian's body. The awakened Yun Zhuo was worried that his bad deeds would be exposed, so he had to kill Jiang Qian, even if the opponent's soul was extremely weak... Jiang Qian tried his best to analyze himself from a rational and objective perspective. His journey:
His remnant soul is too weak and poses no threat to me. This situation should be caused by drowning during an attack by an enemy. Of course, it is also possible that Yun Zhongshuo was insane, and in order to pass on the loss of his wife and son, he murdered the youngest son of the official license holder Jiang Xuesong, and then used his body as a container for the reincarnation of his biological son.
After thinking about it, this possibility is slim.
It was not easy for the Dragon God Yun Zhongshuo to find a boy's body as a container. There was no need to wait until something happened to Jiang Xuesong's son; and as a lone hero preparing to participate in the war between gods, this despicable method was really contrary to his style of conduct.
Jiang Qian let out a long sigh and dismissed the complicated thoughts in his mind.
After experiencing Screening Room 2, his analysis of Dragon God seemed to be no longer objective.
The most terrible thing is that he realizes that his "privilege" has disappeared.
Fear, sadness, guilt... these three emotions that were almost insulated from him began to take turns visiting him from the moment he entered Door 2.
The intense discomfort when massacring the villagers in Linyuan Village, the shock and grief when being killed by his mother, and the fear and helplessness of witnessing his mother's death!
Three negative emotions exploded together, overwhelming his reason.
At that time, he couldn't tell whether it belonged to Yun Zhuo or his own, but he could no longer control himself and fell deeply...
But now, this question is no longer important.
His personality as Jiang Qian has been formed for many years, but he will not immediately change it due to this change. It is just that the ups and downs of negative emotions will reduce his efficiency and expose more flaws.
Jiang Qian thought so.
Do I have any other choice? He looked at the door of projection room 3 and sighed silently.
He had a feeling that what he had experienced in the first two screening rooms was just an appetizer, and that the main event was yet to come.
Just like the connection of clues in Screening Room 2 is based on the recovery of memory in Screening Room 1, "Father and Son" in Screening Room 3 may have a bigger conspiracy!
If you do this, it will desensitize me... Jiang Qian sneered unconsciously:
"How about making the storm come more violently?"
With that said, he put away the dagger, left the beautiful girl with thick fur, and walked towards the projection room 3 not far away.
He didn't even take a second look at the gloomy "Father and Son" hanging next to door No. 3, and pushed the door straight in!
Jiang Qian stood in front of the door, looking inside the door for a moment.
The sperm-swallowing beast ran over on all fours and stuck out its furry head curiously: "Ouch~"
Inside the door, it is also not a regular room.
But a tunnel.
"Wait for me here. I'll come back as soon as I go."
Jiang Qian pushed away the golden retriever's head that was in front of him, took steps, and walked along the tunnel.
The tunnel goes from shallow to deep, and the internal space gradually opens up.
The caves Jiang Qian passed through gradually switched to stone slabs, stairs, and rope bridges... The scenery on both sides of the road also expanded from uneven cave walls to flat caves and rock walls.
Various portraits are exquisitely carved on the rock wall, attracting Jiang Qian's attention: festive, angry, sad, panicked, evil, sweet, wild... Portraits with different emotions appear alternately, and they appear randomly. As the space on both sides gradually widens, the portraits expand into group portraits, and the seven emotions and six desires in the world are presented more and more vividly.
However, this road seems to be endless and has no end.
Jiang Qian simply spread his wings to resist the wind and accelerated his forward speed. After several rounds of narrowing from wide to narrow or from narrow to wide, he finally landed in a flat open space.
At the end of the clearing, a hundred meters further, there was a bonfire burning.
There was a figure sitting next to the bonfire, with his back facing Jiang Qian's direction.
Who is it?
Jiang Qian immediately became alert.
At this time, the countdown has passed 10 minutes!
He only had the last 8 minutes left to overcome the last hurdle of the hidden mission.
As the distance got closer, Jiang Qian saw the other person's clothing and characteristics clearly: the man had a straight back, wore a black windbreaker, and was dressed like a long-distance traveler. He was sitting quietly by the bonfire, looking at the jumping fire in trance.
When Jiang Qian came closer, he let out a heavy sigh:
"You're finally here."
Jiang Qian paused, frozen in place as if petrified, and slowly made fists with his hands on both sides of his body.
Whether it's this back view or this voice, he recognizes it!
"Huh..."
Jiang Qian finally calmed down the shock in his eyes and smiled:
"Don't tell me that the Dragon God Yun Zhongshuo, who died in the War of Gods, was reincarnated in a trial copy."
