Cain and Bai Wu are extremely similar in many ways.
The biggest characteristic is that he speaks differently to different people.
Facing Elijah, Lilith, Dendelel, Violet, and a group of disciples from Baichuan Campus, Cain showed a different side of himself.
He himself had forgotten his true self.
But what Cain loved most was to imitate someone else—someone who had passed on the Deceiver to him.
That person also had his own enemy, but sadly, both he and his enemy died of illness. Cain was obsessed with this person, so obsessed that he thought he was another incarnation of this person.
He is crazy, evil, disregards rules, likes to play with people's hearts and despises human nature.
In this state, Cain, although full of emotions, rarely feels fear of the unknown.
The transfer of three souls allows him to always have a backup plan. For him, death is just a change of identity and a new beginning.
But what he hadn't thought about was... the situation where he couldn't die.
Shocking and evil reflection.
An ability that allows a person to recall the darkest and most evil memories, or the most fearful and painful memories, deep in their hearts.
And the negative emotions brought about by this memory will continue to amplify.
With the help of Talent Sequence 23 Deceiver, Cain gained a lot of evil power.
Although the sequence and distortion entries do not have binding effects, they can sometimes be extremely compatible.
And all along, Cain has been outside of everyone's memory...
He is like an outsider and bystander in the darkest world of memories, and he will not get himself involved.
But this time something unexpected happened. Cain used the Evil Reflection on the witch.
He really wanted to know what this ugly old woman had experienced and what she knew.
But the next second, Cain was horrified to find that... the entire scene around him had changed, and he was in a cold lake.
Resentment caused all the creatures in the lake to mutate. There were no aquatic plants in the lake, only countless curling hairs. They entangled Cain's ankles and dragged him to the deepest part of the lake.
Thousands of hands stretched out from the mud...
It was as if a rift in another dimension opened, and the demons in the rift stretched their arms towards the human world.
Countless resentments were entangled between these pale arms, and Cain had a hunch that if he was dragged into the lake... something terrible would definitely happen.
The biggest difference between him and Bai Wu is in emotional perception. He can perceive complete emotions.
Although there was almost nothing that could make Cain feel afraid in the past seven hundred years, there was even less that could make him sad.
He rarely put himself in such danger.
"Why am I trapped in this memory this time? What on earth did this witch go through..."
Until this moment, Cain was still very calm. Even though his body was sinking little by little, being pulled by the water plants, getting closer and closer to those resentful white arms.
Suffocating, cold, and sad.
Deep in the lake, Cain's feelings were gradually occupied by these things. He was still able to maintain his rationality, so he quickly thought of a possibility...
"This world... is a spiritual world? Am I in some monster's head?"
Although their investigation methods were different, they ultimately reached the same conclusion.
Countless arms disappeared, and the water plants that were wrapped around Cain also broke apart... The lake and the resentment in the water disintegrated...
Before the suffocation and cold resentment consumed him, Cain removed the evil reflection.
His consciousness returned once again to the village with its endlessly looping streets.
The witch looked at Cain and smiled strangely:
"Stranger, are you lost?"
"Yes, can you tell me how to leave?"
"Once an outsider... walks in, they have to... make a choice. Ahem... they can't leave."
"What choice?"
"Wherever evil things go, they will cause death. Only death can take you away from here."
The witch's words to Cain were different from what she said to Bai Wu.
After all, reality is not a game. When a crisis strikes, the word “crisis” will not appear above your head.
Cain did not know that his actions had violated a taboo.
The witch's memory was too chilling, so he stopped trying to provoke her and instead found the couple who were worshipping each other.
In the quiet courtyard, the bride in a red wedding dress slowly turned around. Her face was blocked by the red veil and her features could not be seen at all.
But Cain could feel that under the red veil, there was a pair of resentful eyes staring at him.
"What kind of weird village is this?"
The witch's memory could not reveal much information. Cain only knew that this witch was probably not a living thing...
If the witch had experienced being entangled by those hair-like things and dragged to the bottom of the lake, she would definitely not be alive...
So what exactly is a witch
This newlywed couple, the groom has no facial features... His face is eerily white with only holes, making his entire face look like a skull. You can vaguely see black hair oozing out of the holes, dripping wet.
The whole scene was extremely sinister, but Cain didn't care. The witch wasn't much prettier than the newlyweds.
Unable to obtain useful information from the old woman, Cain could only target the newlyweds.
The evil reflection is turned on again.
In just a moment, the surrounding scene was swallowed up by the lake again...
The black hair once again entangled Cain, and the force holding him back was even greater than before.
Cain was horrified to find out... he was not entering a new memory at all, but was continuing the memory of the witch just now.
Those dark white arms stretched out from the mud at the bottom of the lake, getting closer and closer to Cain...
This time Cain couldn't stay calm...
It was as if he had never left this place. Not only the location, but also the feeling of suffocation and coldness seemed to have been inherited...
He looked up and saw a black figure with thick hair flash by.
"untie!"
Cain didn't have time to think about it. After all, his current body was a human body, and the words he knew did not allow him to breathe in water.
My lungs felt like they were about to explode, especially the chill of the lake water... It seemed to penetrate into my soul.
At this moment, he even recalled some of the scenes he experienced when he went to the sixth floor.
He had been there before, and had experienced the power that directly penetrated the soul, so that his once perfect body was broken into pieces. He could only rely on the three souls to transfer their spirits and find some weak bodies.
"Untie! Untie!"
The desire to survive made Cain constantly try to unlock the evil reflection, but no matter what he did, the scene in front of him did not change.
His consciousness had begun to dissipate, and Cain felt that the closer he got to the bottom of the lake, the weaker his strength became.
The Evil Reflection is a spiritual ability. With his rich experience, Cain was sure that he was facing a monster with extremely strong mental power.
He couldn't get any closer to the monster, or all his abilities would become ineffective.
Cain acted decisively and used the non-psychic distortion term, Cutting Iron.
His arm instantly became as sharp as a sickle. Cain originally planned to cut off the hair... but he soon discovered something.
Even if the hair was cut off, the part that was wrapped around her ankles seemed to have its own will...
Soon those hairs will continue to grow, splice...
"Even if it is a perfect-level distortion item, this ability is definitely extremely troublesome."
Cain realized that his thinking was wrong. He was a ruthless man and cut off his ankle in an instant!
Ignoring the pain, Cain began to swim upwards with all his might.
In the distorted world, the distance between the bottom of the lake and the surface of the lake seemed not far, but no matter how Cain swam, he could not break out of the lake.
He was about to collapse, but fortunately, although the distance between him and the lake seemed eternal, he was far away from the bottom of the lake.
The evil reflection can finally be removed.
Cain returned to the original scene again.
The newlyweds worshipping heaven and earth were still the same as before, with the bride's red veil facing Cain, and the groom's sunken eye sockets staring at Cain.
They were motionless and had no expression on their faces, but Cain sensed a sense of mockery.
After returning to reality, he found that his ankle was intact, but he did not dare to use the Evil Reflection again.
Cain had no doubt that if he used this ability again, he would never come back.
Fortunately, Cain did not gain nothing.
"Your memories all come from the same person... So you actually don't exist. The witch told me that only death can get rid of death, so you are not the correct answer. The real answer is the funeral hall next door."
The bride said nothing. She turned around stiffly like a zombie and continued to worship her husband.
There must be some terrible monster in the lake, Cain was now certain of that.
These people, the fortune teller, the newlyweds, the owner of the paper doll house, all of them are related to the monster in the lake.
But what exactly the connection is, Cain is not sure.
He left the red house and came to the white house where the funeral was held.
There were still no faces in the photos in the mourning hall. After two deep water experiences that almost drove him crazy, combined with the words of the witch, Cain did not draw the necessary conclusion.
There was only one coffin in the whole yard. Looking at this pearwood coffin, he decided to open it and give it a try. At worst... he could just scrap the body.
Although the Eye of Prell is not as good as the Deceiver in terms of being able to defraud the opponent's power, but when comparing the decryption process of Bai Wu and Cain, the Eye is far superior to the Deceiver.
However, Cain himself did have remarkable abilities, and after some effort, he finally found the correct answer.
"This place is much more dangerous than I expected. I'm afraid my two containers are also confused now."
Information gap determines cognition. Cain cannot imagine how Bai Wu and Wu Jiu can find clues.
In his opinion, Bai Wu and Wu Jiu were probably still experiencing a dilemma.
…
…
Cain's doubts are actually Bai Wu's doubts as well.
Bai Wu was very curious. Since he had the Eye of Prell, he could enter the next scene smoothly. Cain was so good at bewitching people, he must have some extraordinary abilities.
So what about the captain? How is the captain now
Bai Wu is very worried about Wujiu.
It's just five-nine... There's no need for them to worry.
After coming out of the Paper Man House, Wujiu began to substitute for Baiwu:
"If it was Bai Wu, would it do something unusual at this time?"
Wujiu originally wanted to draw his sword and chop at the paper figures like Liu Hu did, because these paper figures were too spooky.
But after going out of the tower with Bai Wu many times, Wujiu understood one thing: falling into evil is not absolute evil.
When Wujiu and Baiwu first left the tower, he said that evil is evil, and humans are humans, and they can never be friends.
But as he explored more with Bai Wu, as his good friend Liu Mu turned into a villain, and as a group of villains appeared to rescue him when he was dealing with Zhong Xu, Wujiu's mentality had already changed.
"White Mist always seems to be able to communicate and get along well with the evil ones..."
Now that Bai Wu is gone, Wu Jiu decides to start learning from Bai Wu.
The night sky was covered with dark clouds and Wujiu felt that it was going to rain. The paper figures were still outside the door, so Wujiu placed the paper figures into the house.
He said to the paper people:
"You don't have the aura of evil, but since you can move, perhaps you can help me find a way to leave here."
"If I can get away and reunite with my companions, perhaps I can help you..."
In the notes that Bai Wu saw, the Eye of Prell emphasized hair.
These paper people all have hair. Bai Wu guessed that both the hair on the street and the hair on the paper people actually came from one place.
The grudge of a lake monster.
But he just thought of it as a scene restoration and only knew that the purpose of the paper man was to please the river god.
So even if Bai Wu racked his brains, he would never guess that the captain would actually talk to the paper man... The reason for doing so was to imitate himself.
What’s even more incredible is that these paper figures actually started to help Wujiu.
When Wujiu walked out of the paper man's house, he saw a paper man with a gloomy face, wearing a red cotton jacket, pointing in a certain direction with its frightening white hand.
They guided Wujiu little by little until they came to the place between the white house and the red house.
At this time, the two paper figures, one pointed to the lake in the north, and the other pointed to the night in the south.
The paper man pointing at the North Lake stood outside the white mourning hall. There was obviously no one in the hall, but there was a suona sound that made people feel uneasy.
Pointing at the paper man in the night, standing outside the red house. Similarly, although the suona music in the red house is very festive, it is more creepy in a place like this.
Wujiu said:
"You mean... to go to that lake, we have to enter the white house? To leave here, we have to enter the red house?"
The paper man's wooden face suddenly turned into a smile that gave people goose bumps. The smile was really scary, but Wujiu felt that the paper man was responding to him.
"Bai Wu will definitely not leave here. If he wants to find the little girl, he will definitely investigate this area more deeply."
Thinking of this, Wujiu walked into the mourning hall.
There was only one coffin in the mourning hall, which was an obvious clue.
This captain, who had always had good luck, entered the next scene in a simpler way than Bai Wu and Cain, without suffering at all.
