Chapter 247: Truth
“So that’s how it is…”
After hearing Luo Wensong’s description, Yue Linhai silently withdrew his gaze.
He used to have the confidence to raise an objection to such behavior, but now, even he himself had been corroded so deeply by the fierce ghost without realizing it, so naturally he had no confidence to criticize Luo Wensong’s actions.
More importantly, although he had now recovered all his strength, looking at those dense wooden doors around him, Yue Linhai still felt a chill run down his spine.
He knew very well what Luo Wensong’s ability was, and he also knew that these portals were not just displayed for show or to fill the scene.
It might seem quiet now, but with just a thought from Luo Wensong, these seemingly ordinary wooden doors could unleash truly terrifying certain death attacks.
Under such an offensive, perhaps someone could withstand it, but definitely not Yue Linhai.
“However, Luo Wensong’s state is indeed not good. His supernatural strength has actually become so low. If I can seize the initiative, I might not necessarily be his opponent.” Yue Linhai narrowed his eyes slightly and compared the winning chances of both sides.
It wasn’t really about still wanting to kill Zhang Qian; it was mainly to satisfy his own small vanity a little.
After dying in the future, he might even be able to brag to his former teammates: “I had a winning chance in front of that cold-blooded executioner. Am I strong or not?”
As for the current situation where the initiative had already been lost, Yue Linhai assessed his own body and felt it was better not to reveal his earlier thoughts.
Sensing Yue Linhai’s somewhat rude gaze, Luo Wensong snorted coldly, with no intention of arguing with him.
“When do you plan to resolve the ghost ship matter?”
Yue Linhai snapped out of his fantasy, thought for a moment, and then said gravely: “Naturally, the sooner the better. But I suspect the captain likely hid his strength back then. If its real strength is even stronger than what it showed, even with the foundation of the seal, I won’t be able to imprison it again.”
After saying that, he stared silently at Luo Wensong, the meaning self-evident.
“My situation is a bit special right now.” Luo Wensong shook his head, then looked at Zhang Qian. “Whether I can act depends on whether you can create a chance for Zhang Qian.”
“What does he have to do with it?”
Yue Linhai was first stunned, then reacted. “That envelope? Does it require touching the target with that envelope first before you can launch the attack?”
This information wasn’t hard to guess. He hadn’t figured it out earlier simply because Luo Wensong’s appearance was too shocking, leaving Yue Linhai no time to think more.
Luo Wensong had no intention of concealing it and just silently nodded.
“You…”
With the guess confirmed, Yue Linhai’s gaze toward Luo Wensong became complicated.
Only able to attack those touched by the envelope—what difference did that have from the real killing pattern?
He didn’t expect Luo Wensong to have sacrificed so much…
Luo Wensong just glanced at Yue Linhai and guessed that this guy was thinking about some irrelevant things again, so he didn’t pay attention and calmly said: “Get ready to act. Before that, is there anything else you want to know?”
The last sentence was directed at Zhang Qian, so Zhang Qian thought for a moment and then unceremoniously looked at Yue Linhai.
“I’ve actually always been curious about one thing: what exactly is the relationship between Senior and Little Linhai? Although in Little Linhai’s mouth you two are father and son, Senior, you don’t seem to agree much with that statement.”
“Moreover, when Senior just recovered his supernatural power, it seemed there was no conflict with Little Linhai?”
In Zhang Qian’s observation, this father-son pair from the Yue family had many strange aspects.
For example, the speed at which Yue Linhai recovered the supernatural was simply too fast.
Even if that supernatural was originally part of him, it had been split off after all, so fusing it back should absolutely not be an easy task.
But for Yue Linhai, it seemed like it took just one breath to recover to normal. Even Zhang Qian, who had been watching him closely, didn’t notice what happened at that moment.
Furthermore, Yue Linhai’s current mentality seemed a bit strange. In feeling, his emotions and expression had become much richer, with somewhat of Little Linhai’s vibe.
“Indeed, there was no supernatural confrontation.”
Yue Linhai paused, then continued, “Because it voluntarily gave up the supernatural power on its body and brought them back into my body. And for me, those supernatural powers had never actually left, so I could casually take them back.”
“As for the relationship, I’ve actually said it long ago: we are the same person.”
“The same person?” Zhang Qian mulled over the words but still couldn’t grasp the key point.
Yue Linhai thought for a moment and asked: “Actually, there are two consciousnesses inside my body. When I studied abroad before, I also saw doctors, and they said this is called split personality.”
“Split personality?”
Zhang Qian’s eyelid twitched. He didn’t expect to hear such a “scientific” term in this kind of place.
“Yes.” Yue Linhai nodded. “But most of the time, my consciousness is the dominant one, while the Little Linhai in your mouth has always been dormant, only occasionally sneaking out for a breath when I’m not paying attention.”
“On the doctor’s advice, I took quite a few medications, and the situation improved a lot. Then the resurgence happened, and after I became a ghost controller, he seemed to truly disappear and never appeared again.”
“And in the end, you only realized he was faking it?” Zhang Qian couldn’t help but interject.
“Yes.” Yue Linhai was a bit embarrassed.
“For safety’s sake, I split my body and consciousness into two places for imprisonment. But after my consciousness left the body and fell into dormancy, he resuscitated inside my body and then took my body out for a stroll.”
“Until just now when I found him, and he voluntarily returned the body.”
After hearing this outrageous story, Zhang Qian felt greatly shocked. Even Luo Wensong nearby had a flicker in his eyes, clearly not expecting such a bizarre thing to have happened to Yue Linhai.
A disease like split personality had actually turned into two different people under the influence of the supernatural.
Seeing the varied expressions on their faces, Yue Linhai sighed a little: “Actually, I don’t hate him. The ghost ship’s resurgence had nothing to do with him. Whether he was there or not, the ghost ship would always resuscitate after my death. And he didn’t do anything bad with my body. Perhaps he was really imprisoned too long and couldn’t help wanting some fresh air.”
Zhang Qian recalled: that youth with an ordinary appearance was indeed a bit odd, but he hadn’t truly harmed him and Xu Zheng, these two intruders.
Although he forcibly “bought” a ghost candle, he quietly returned it before Zhang Qian entered the ghost ship…
Overall, he should be a not-bad person?
