Who hid my body?

Chapter 278 Passed
When Vic realized that the conversation had always come from his own mouth, an indescribable fear inevitably surged from his heart.

"Who are you?" Vic yelled again, "Why can you control my body!?"

There was a tremor in the roar, but it soon turned into calm.

"Because I am you."

"You bullshit!"

Vic clenched his teeth tightly.

He could feel that his body was rapidly transforming into a wolf, but the wolf-like part was completely out of control, so that Vic had to use one human arm to support this increasingly large and heavy body, which naturally became more and more strenuous.

"The truth is always hard to accept." Vic's mouth was still responding to himself, "So they will never let you find out the truth."

"…What is the truth?"

"The truth is that this so-called trust is completely false." He said, "He doesn't want us to understand betrayal, doesn't want us to know fear, he only wants us to move forward, keep moving forward. Even in the dark, even if we don't know what's ahead, we still have to move forward, we don't need to think, we just need to obey. It's like this game, we are chained and can't understand what will happen if we fall, and we don't know that the guy on the other side, who we trust, can kill us with just one misstep."

"That's you! Not me!" Vic continued to yell, "I know everything!"

"Yeah." He smiled. "That's why we're still alive, isn't it?"

Vic was stunned.

While he was stunned, the wolf-like transformation of his body deepened once again.

He finally couldn't hold on with only one arm. Even though his five fingers had left bloody marks on the passage, his body couldn't stop falling.

...Is it because I know everything that I am still alive today?
Vic didn't understand what this meant, he could only hear the iron chain around his waist making a harsh sound.

He fell into the abyss.

……

Bai Wei watched quietly as the chain at the mechanism suddenly increased in speed, and the feeling of restraint around his waist also suddenly increased.

It seems that something happened to Vic on the other side.

If this continued, in less than three seconds, his body would be cut in half by the chains.

Does this mean that his game with wildfire will end here?
Bai Wei looked down at the chains that were tightening rapidly, just like watching a prisoner on the execution ground watching the guillotine fall.

So he raised his hand.

Although he would not die, it would be a headache for him if this body was destroyed here, so he decided to withdraw.

but……

Bai Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for less than a second, he put his hand down.

Just trust that kid.

He thought so.

Then there was a loud bang.

The chain suddenly stopped at the last second before it was fully tightened.

The harsh noise also disappeared, as if time had stopped at this moment, leaving only tranquility.

Bai Wei lowered his head and looked at his waist, which had marks left by being strangled.

But... there was no bleeding.

Bai Wei smiled.

……

"Tick, tick." "Tick."

Blood overflowed from Vic's fingers, dripping into the abyss drop by drop.

But Vic did not fall into the abyss. His limbs - both the human part and the silver wolf part were tightly grasped into the wall. He was like a gecko, embedding his body firmly into the wall.

While breathing heavily, he raised his head and looked at the connection of the mechanism.

With the help of his wolf eyes, he clearly saw that the mechanism chain had not been activated.

In other words, nothing happened to Miss Saint.

Vic pursed his lips, and easily returned to the passage with his half-wolf body, and then lay down on the ground, as if waiting for something.

The noise he made this time was too loud.

The Saint Lady on the other side must have had a close brush with death.

That being the case...

Vic closed his eyes gently, like a sinner awaiting trial.

However, as time passed, the chain around his waist never came down to execute him.

That is to say...

Vic's eyes snapped open, and he growled.

This roar was louder than the previous ones, as if it was a sudden release after being suppressed to the extreme.

"I won! I won!" He yelled at the so-called "other self" in his body, "You lost! You lost! Everything you said was false! You were lying to me, you were lying to me!"

Vic seemed to have won the toughest battle in his life and was about to make a victory declaration.

But the "other self" did not speak again, and only his own echo could be heard in the empty passage.

"Why aren't you talking?!" he asked again.

But still no response.

The "other" self seemed to have disappeared, and the previous feeling of being out of control of the body was gone, as if everything before was just an illusion.

……No.

Vic shook his head.

It can't be an illusion.

This kind of thing has happened more than once. No matter how stupid he is, he can't continue to think that this is an illusion.

In other words, there was indeed something wrong with his brain.

But what is the problem?

Vic was a little confused.

According to Father Uru, there is a high possibility that there is a part of Ade in his body, so he can recall past events from Ade's perspective from time to time.

But the consciousness just now belonged neither to himself nor to Ade, so who could it be?
Could that be... a saint?
This was the only possibility Vic could think of.

The guy called Saint is also hiding in his brain, trying to take away his body at all times.

Of course, it is also possible that this is interference from the trust test itself.

But no matter which one it was, Vic had already won.

Thinking of this, Vic couldn't help but feel a surge of energy. Since there was no specific enemy, he punched the air a few times, as if this would be enough to knock down the invisible "other self".

With that sharp sound of breaking through the air, Vic felt better and more motivated.

At this time, the friction sound of the chain sounded again, but Vic knew that this was not the mechanism being activated, but the person on the other side, that is, Miss Saint, began to move forward again.

Sure enough, Miss Saint is fine!
He can't waste any more time here!
Get out quickly and tell Father Uru everything that happened here!

So Vic started moving forward again.

The rest of the journey did not bring any obstacles to Vic, and he almost sprinted all the way to the end.

When he opened the wooden door that had been sealed for who knows how many years and saw the light from the flying dust, Vic's whole body was shaking with excitement. He came out.

Because he had stayed in the extreme darkness for too long, Vic's eyes had not been able to adapt to the light immediately, but he did not close his eyes, nor even cover them a little. Instead, he tried to keep them open. Even though the sunlight stung his eyes, he had to keep them open and try his best to look at everything in front of him.

And in front of him was an even bigger door, like a giant blade separating the valley, still blocking his way forward.

In other words, he still had not left the Temple of Trust and had not been able to open the passage to the sacrificial site.

But Vic knew that the test of trust was over, and he had... passed.

"Good job."

A lazy voice sounded from behind him.

Vic was stunned for a moment, then turned his head suddenly and found Bai Wei leaning against another door, looking at him with a smile.

"Father Uru? Why are you here..." Before Vic could finish his question, he saw the chain tied around Bai Wei's waist. After a brief moment of daze, he understood everything. "Father Uru, are you taking the trial with me?"

"Yes." Bai Wei said with a smile, "That's why I said you did a good job."

Vic opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He didn't know why, but he felt his eyes were sore.

Is this what they call "trust"?

"Yes, you have completely understood the so-called 'trust'."

"Next, it's the last step."

"Saints."

The voice that had disappeared for a long time sounded in my mind again.

Vic's smile froze.

"What's wrong?" Bai Wei asked.

"I..." Vic's eyes flashed with confusion, "It seems like someone is talking to me, but I... can't remember it."

Vic's brow furrowed deeply.

"Just now when I was in the corridor, it seemed like someone was talking to me, but, but... I can't remember."

Vic was becoming increasingly impatient.

"I can't remember... Damn it, why, I can't remember!"

The previous joy had disappeared, and he kept scratching his head with his hands, his sharp nails leaving streaks of blood on his scalp.

"I clearly remembered what I was going to tell you, I clearly remembered..."

"Okay, Vic."

When Vic was about to collapse from anxiety, Bai Wei suddenly walked up to him and gently rubbed his head, which gradually calmed him down.

"It will be soon." Bai Wei said softly, "Soon the truth will be revealed. Before that... take a rest."

Somehow, under Bai Wei's comfort, Vic quickly relaxed, and then fell asleep with his head tilted in the sunshine.

Bai Wei looked quietly at the pure silver wolf in front of him and spoke softly.

"Have another good night's sleep."

"As Vic."

……

Ivana walked out of the passage carefully. The first thing she saw was the huge mountain gate, and then she saw Bai Wei who was leisurely waiting for her in front of the mountain gate.

"Miss Saint, do you have to spend so much time walking through a passage without trials?" Bai Wei teased, "It seems that if you were to partner with this kid, you would probably kill him after just two steps."

Ivana pursed her lips and was about to use "I'm injured" to defend herself, but when she saw that Bai Wei was still limping on one leg, she immediately ran out of excuses and could only reply sullenly, "I'll be faster next time."

At this time, Vic, who was squatting at Bai Wei's feet taking a nap, also heard the noise and opened his eyes dazedly: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Ivana looked at Vic, feeling something was a little weird.

Why is this napping posture like a dog?
She shook her head but still didn't say the thought out loud.

"Now that you have passed the test of trust, you can get the final key."

"The final key?"

"Yes, the key to the sacrificial site." Ivana walked forward and touched the waists of the two men.

But it's not about touching their waists, but the chains around their waists.

With two "clicks", the chains were removed.

Ivina worked again, removing a small piece of "fragment" from each of the two chains, and then combined them together.

There was a "click".

The two fragments combined into a symbol engraved with the image of Senluo.

"This is the final key." said Yvina.

Vic was stunned. He obviously didn't expect the final key to be like this.

"Well... why don't you put it together before the trial starts?" Vic couldn't help but ask, "Then we can skip this trial, right?"

"How can we skip the trial?" Ivana said seriously, "My grandmother once told me that every step of the trial has strict procedures. If any step goes wrong, the key may be destroyed."

Vic scratched his head: "But your steps don't seem very rigorous."

"...Anyway, this is what my grandmother told me." Ivana muttered, "I'm also afraid of making mistakes. Besides, I'm the Saint of Senluo after all, so I have to abide by the rules here."

"Alright, alright." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Just think of it as giving the God of Senluo a little face. After all, he's dead anyway."

The corners of Ivana's mouth twitched slightly. She resisted the urge to accuse Bai Wei of "blasphemy" and handed the talisman to him obediently.

Bai Wei took the talisman, looked at it in his hand, and then handed it to Vic next to him.

"You open it."

Vic was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously pointed at himself: "Can I?"

"Don't forget, you are the last hunter of Senluo." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Besides, the truth you are looking for is behind that door, so do you really want me to come?"

After hearing Bai Wei's words, the hesitation in Vic's eyes disappeared little by little.

He nodded solemnly, and then took the talisman from Bai Wei's hand.

At that moment, he saw himself again.

When he saw himself holding the talisman, his face was full of smiles.

"We did it, Ade!" I said to myself loudly, "We are just one step away, and we are almost there!"

Vic immediately realized that this was a memory from half a month ago.

In other words, he and Ade also passed the test of trust half a month ago.

Yes, how could he and Ade fail the test of trust?

So the final truth is only left...

Vic turned his head and looked at the majestic gate behind him that seemed to split the world into two.

He walked forward and pressed the talisman into the groove of the giant door.

With a huge roar, the huge door slowly opened.
