Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

With heavy feelings of mourning for Teacher Kimbeck, the group of ten people silently boarded the island.

Although the island was also shrouded in fog, it was not dull but rather fresh, with lush trees everywhere. However, no one was in the mood to appreciate them now.

Bubulu was severely injured and had to be carried by Shizitang. In comparison, Yiyin and Isabella were in much better condition, at least they could still stand steadily.

"There might be other dangers lurking on this island," Jiaozi analyzed calmly, "I think we should send someone to investigate as soon as possible."

"Oh my gosh!" Di Qi seemed very eager to try. After all, he did this and was very experienced.

"No, let him go."

Albus said slowly, then took out a black monster card and summoned his monster.

Albus's monster is a D-rank psychic monster, the Knight Beetle, which looks like a palm-sized beetle. It has a pair of orange compound eyes, a pair of antennae on its head, a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, and makes a constant buzzing sound when flying.

"The Knight Beetle's ability is self-decomposition," Selina explained. "After decomposing, it can distract the enemy, and when they rush in, it can cause tremendous damage. And as long as the main body doesn't become incapable of fighting, it can continue to divide!"

So that's why the Knight Beetle is small and fast, not easy to be discovered, and difficult to completely eradicate, so it is said to be very suitable for reconnaissance!

Albus was about to send Knight Beetle to investigate, but was stopped by Iin.

"Have you noticed? We've been led by the mastermind behind the scenes. From the Nether Sea to the Ghost Ship to this Misty Island, our actions seem to be all within his calculations! So, I think we should do the opposite."

"Let me make it clear in advance that I won't give you crystals anymore." Selina was a little scared of Yiyin's actions.

Yiyin smiled and said that it was not necessary to be so troublesome.

"If I'm not mistaken, the mastermind behind this, Mr. D... Truman, must be hiding here! As long as we find a way to completely destroy this place, we can force him out!"

"Hey, what makes you say Mr. D is Truman?"

The short Shuoyue was angry. "Mr. D's signature clearly told us it wasn't Truman!"

"That's right."

Thirteenth Princess then said, "Besides, Truman has been dead for many years. Could it be his wandering spirit seeking revenge?"

"This is clearly a case of trying to cover up one's own faults, right? No matter how you think about it, it must have been Truman who did it, right?"

Yiyin felt speechless.

At that time, Yi Yin didn't know that they were born unable to understand each other with the people of Blue Star. By the time he found out, he had already made an irreversible mistake.

"Even if you're right—what are you going to do?"

Lion Hall seemed very calm. "I'm afraid our monsters alone can't raze this entire island to the ground."

Yi Yin was about to say something, but found that Isabella carefully pinched the corner of her clothes.

"You're not trying to change the plot, are you?" Isabella whispered. "The butterfly effect is very strong. Who knows what kind of dramatic chain reaction your changes will trigger?"

"If anything has changed, it's that the direction of Blue Star has begun to change since the moment we arrived here."

After saying this, Yiyin held Isabella's hand and smiled at her. Isabella knew that she couldn't stop Yiyin from doing what he wanted to do, so she decided to help him.

"Ahem, to be honest, I just calculated that if Xiaolan tries her best, she should be able to completely freeze this Misty Island."

"If Truman still had life in the normal sense, then the extremely low temperature would certainly end his second life. Of course, we have no special resistance to freezing, so we will also be frozen into ice sculptures - but I think it's worth it."

After Isabella finished speaking, the expressions of the others all changed.

"Are you...are you crazy..." Shuoyue said tremblingly, "We just escaped from that murderous Bu Nuo, and now you want us to die?"

"Well……"

Thirteenth Princess held her face in her hands and cried, "At least I want to die beautifully and cleanly..."

"This is also a kind of practice." After saying this, Albus thought that his Knight Beetle was no longer needed, so he entered into meditation again.

"Why is Isabella like Yiyin, always liking to self-destruct..." Jiaozi whispered to Diqi.

"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light; the enemy is strong and we are weak. To perish together is one of the best ways to persuade them to negotiate. The prerequisite is that the other party really wants to negotiate with us." Di Qi gave back the Leighton family's ability to control people to Jiaozi.

"..."

If it were before, Bubulu would have certainly yelled and screamed again. He would not agree to gamble with everyone's lives. But after "Buno" and Jinbek both died, he became silent.

"I... agree with Yiyin's approach."

Bubulu said slowly, "My grandfather said that you should stay close to your friends no matter what. More importantly, Yiyin is my brother, and I trust him!"

"Thank you."

Yi Yin was somewhat moved by Bubulu's words. He cleared his throat and began to speak to the deep fog on the island:

"I'm talking to Mr. D."

Yiyin's voice was very soft, but he did not repeat it a second time because he knew Mr. D heard it clearly.

"Mr. D, or Truman. I know you have been observing us all the time. You may have felt disdainful of our behavior many times. Your disregard for us is the best evidence. Well, it doesn't matter now. I just want to say one thing-"

"I know your true form is hiding on this Misty Island. So... cough, Isabella's monster, the Starry Unicorn, can turn the entire Misty Island into an ice sculpture. By then, whatever your goal is, you won't be able to achieve it. There's also the possibility that your goal is simply self-destruction. If that's the case, we can only blame ourselves for our bad luck."

"Now, I'll count down to three. In three seconds, Isabella will summon her monster. In thirty seconds, the Star Unicorn will activate its freezing ability. In three hundred seconds, the entire Misty Island will turn into an ice field and be sealed forever..."

"No one will remember that ten little reservists died here. No one will remember that Truman ever lived."

"That's all I have to say. Three... two..."

Just when Yiyin was about to count down to the last number,

"stop!"

The ghost's song sounded again, but this time it sounded a little bit scary.

"Don't do this! What do you want?"

The sudden voice actually made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. This at least showed that Mr. D valued his life. As long as he wasn't a crazy person who didn't care about his life, there was a way to negotiate.

"It's very simple."

Yiyin smiled and said, "We want to see you. Show us the right way so that we can see you immediately. We need to get the truth about Misty Island and your purpose from you personally."

"Don't play any tricks. There are ten of us. Unless you are strong enough to kill all ten of us instantly, any of us can let the Star Unicorn freeze this place again."

"..."

After a period of silence, Mr. D finally compromised.

"Alright... I originally wanted to let the revenge game continue for a while... Since you want to complete it, then come on... I'll... be waiting for you..."

After that, the ghost's voice disappeared completely.

And on the ground, there were several very obvious white arrows, which seemed to be guiding the direction for everyone to move forward.
