Chapter 463: Sand Pit Boy (Part 1)
The first one is to Jiang Yichuan: [Captain, take everyone to the dock immediately. There should be a Dangdangxiang Hotel around the dock. Don't go to that dock, but choose a dock close to it and book an airship there. We need to leave here overnight. I'm still in the mine now, but I'll rush over later. When you leave the mine 1,500 meters away, send me a text message and wait for me to contact you.]
The second short message was to Xia Xiaoyu: [Xiaoyu, I am still fighting now. You follow the captain and leave. Remember not to come to my side, otherwise you will be a drag. Please reply immediately after receiving this! I am very serious now. Don't come over here! Otherwise, you will be dead.]
Ten seconds later, Xia Xiaoyu's reply arrived.
[Got it, I promise I can't come over, and I'm serious about it, don't think I will come over secretly. ]
Su Ming held back his laughter when he saw this reply.
It almost failed.
If his plan failed because of this laughter, it would all be Xia Xiaoyu's fault.
"Are you contacting that person?" asked Alfred, who was waiting patiently nearby.
He has basically stopped thinking now. In his cognition, he has become the master of these two incredible abilities: super intuition and supernatural power. And everything Su Ming is doing now is just some ritual work that the previous master had to complete.
Now he is full of patience. Even if he has to wait quietly for Su Ming for half an hour, he can wait patiently.
"Okay, it's done. It should be fine once the other party replies in a while. I will delete all the key information in your phone afterwards. After I kill you, you can contact the people I know without worry. Now I'm going to tell you what I am like in front of everyone. You have to listen carefully, otherwise you will be exposed in the future."
Su Ming had a serious look on his face, just like a dying emperor giving his final instructions to the crown prince in front of the dragon bed, and the crown prince Alfred also listened very carefully. He leaned forward slightly to make himself more comfortable so that he could listen more carefully to Su Ming's last words.
Su Ming first talked about his situation in the Investigation Bureau and how he behaved in front of everyone. Although the content was completely false stuff he made up on the spot, he spoke very seriously and explained every detail.
As the saying goes, you have to do your best to act. If you are not serious, Alfred might get suspicious in the end.
Although Su Ming didn't think Alfred would still be wary, it was right to be cautious. Besides, it would take time to wait for Jiang Yichuan and Xia Xiaoyu to move far enough away. If there were no enough topics to attract Alfred's attention during this period, the other party might seriously recall the conversation just now and find out the flaws.
In order to keep Alfred being led by him, the best option is to say something that seems useful but is actually completely useless to attract his attention.
…
"That's right. This is how Xia Xiaoyu and I get along. I'm rather cold towards her. Although she sticks to me all the time, we are still friends. I usually help her, but we're just friends. Neither of us has ever crossed the line." Su Ming said.
Alfred nodded slightly, as if he understood something, and then continued: "Well, although ordinary people may find it abnormal, I understand you, and I am not interested in women either."
Su Ming glanced at the other party and ignored him: "Then, I usually talk like this, the way I talk is very ordinary, and I am more humble, unlike you... Do you understand what I mean?"
Alfred frowned, feeling somewhat worried.
"I'm pretending to be you, so I won't be discovered, right?"
"As long as you are not suspected, you shouldn't be seen through. You can also pretend to have lost some of your memories. After all, it was me who defeated you, and your ability is to interfere with the mind. It is normal to lose fragments of memory. As long as you behave stably, you will not be suspected." Su Ming said.
Alfred nodded, but he was still unsure. After all, he and Su Ming had not been together for long, and he had no idea what kind of person Su Ming was in normal times.
Now he had a strange feeling, he felt like a student who had never been to school and was suddenly asked to review for the exam. Although he could cheat, he was not even proficient in finding the answers.
But fortunately there is an ultimate means. If it really doesn't work, he will take Su Ming's advice and pretend to have amnesia, Alfred thought.
"Now try to talk to me in my tone, and I will imitate the way other people speak and talk to you. Hurry up, you will get used to it soon." Su Ming said.
After that, Su Ming began to imitate Jiang Yichuang's tone and talk to Alfred. Alfred was also very serious and even paid more attention to the details of the words than Su Ming.
Not long after, the cell phone in Su Ming's pocket made a sound, and Su Ming took out the phone and took a look.
Jiang Yichuang sent a message to tell him that he and others had run to a place 1,500 meters away from here.
Great, everyone has escaped from Alfred's ability range.
Now if he kills Alfred, after Alfred fails in his attempt to take over another body, he can only enter the body of a creature within a thousand meters radius, which may be a mouse, cockroach, ant, or something like that.
This mine has been cleared out in advance, so there shouldn't be anyone there.
In other words, after Alfred changed his body, he needed to move a long distance in the body of a mouse or other small animal before he could meet someone, and then open his own barrier to forcibly replace his consciousness with that of someone else.
Alfred mentioned before that his own barrier cannot replace a psychic who is too powerful, and the conditions for taking over someone else's body are more stringent. He can only take over the body of an ordinary person or a weaker C-level psychic.
Judging from this point, it will take Alfred a long time to gain the strength to fight them after he gets a new body, and during this time, Su Ming can use it to implement his plan!
"Okay, I've got everything arranged."
Su Ming operated a few times on his mobile phone, pretending that he was processing some information that could not be seen by Alfred.
Alfred didn't care about such small details at all. Instead, he frowned and thought about something seriously.
He had a habit that every time he changed his body, he would try to start a new life with behavior that matched the appearance of this body.
So imitating others was not unfamiliar to Alfred.
But it is not an easy thing to perfectly disguise yourself as Su Ming in real life without being discovered by people who are familiar with Su Ming.
Although Alfred is quite confident in his acting skills, he is not so conceited as to think that he is perfect and flawless. This time, what he wants to challenge is precisely the level of perfect performance... and a stable performance for an extremely long time.
No one would say that this is easy, and Alfred also knows how difficult it is. However... with the multifaceted life he has experienced countless times over hundreds of years, he is confident that he can accomplish this extremely difficult challenge!
Su Ming saw Alfred in a daze, and after a moment's thought he guessed what he was thinking.
He smiled and said, "Do you think you can't disguise yourself as me perfectly? How about this, you let me go today, and then wait for a while, and then I will give my body to you, how about that?"
"Do you think it's possible?" Alfred sneered.
Su Ming also laughed: "It's just a joke. Keeping a sense of humor at the end can also make me look calm."
Alfred looked at Su Ming and slowly narrowed his eyes, feeling that there was something strange about all this.
He didn't know whether Su Ming really had a premonition that he could complete such an extremely complicated long-term plan, but he really couldn't understand how someone would easily risk his life. It was even more unreasonable than the craziest gambler.
Is it because of some trap? Could this be Su Ming's trap?
Alfred looked down at the ground at his feet. Fine gravel was rolling on the rock strata of the mine. Just as Su Ming's words rolled through his mind, he could not imagine what trap the other party could have set.
Su Ming's only options were to fight or die, and his only options were to kill Su Ming or be killed.
Between the two, he would definitely choose the latter, there is no doubt about it... So, am I overthinking it?
"Come on, I'm ready." Alfred said lightly.
He was no longer as arrogant as before. Although his face was still Chen Yi Jue's, his temperament had subtly changed to that of Su Ming.
Su Ming looked down at the samurai sword lying flat on his knees. The cold light flowed on the smooth surface of the blade. The middle part of the blade concentrated the brilliance of the moonlight, becoming somewhat dazzling under the dark night.
Su Ming tightly grasped the handle of the knife wrapped in cloth strips, supported his knee with his other hand and stood up, then held the knife with both hands and slowly raised it above his head.
"I'm going to take action." Su Ming stood like an executioner holding a knife and spoke coldly.
Su Ming's resolute attitude made him look as if he was about to cut off his own future destiny. This ritualistic execution intoxicated Alfred. Although his body was not dead yet, his heart seemed to have been reborn.
"Come on!" Alfred said, suppressing his excitement.
Su Ming used his arms and waist to exert force at the same time and swung his sword down!
The blade drew a beautiful arc, the angle of the cut was exactly the same as the edge, and the landing point was Alfred's neck.
A pale light flashed, and bright red hot blood splashed on the pale mine. The headless neck gushed out red water. The lightning-fast strike did not cause any impact on Alfred's body, so that after being beheaded, the body was still sitting on the ground in an upright posture.
Alfred's consciousness left his body like a vaporizing cloud.
[Continuation of Life] has started!
He once again experienced the sense of liberation of self-consciousness that he had experienced countless times. In the pitch-black void, he saw countless white spots of light, some large, some small, some flickering, and some on and off. They were the creatures around him that could be possessed by him.
In addition to this, there was a red thread, which was the thread of murderous intent, extending from the person who killed him, with one end tying him and the other end connected to the murderer.
Alfred was pulled by the string uncontrollably and flew towards a brand new body!
His heart was filled with excitement, and his emotions were surging. Every time he took over another person's body, he would see the other person's true inner self inside the other person.
That inner self can be called the self, or the superego... Alfred didn't know how to describe it, but according to the world's understanding, perhaps the inner spirit that is completely different from the external expression should be called the soul.
And what he wants to see is the nature of those people's souls.
Often, there is a sharp contrast between the souls and external manifestations of many people. The soul of a proud person may be inferior; while a person with inferiority complex may be proud; the heart of a meticulous person may be vulgar and perverted; the inner world of a pervert or a lunatic may also be kind and normal.
He was curious about everyone's soul, but never before had he been so eager to see someone's soul as he was at this moment!
He believed that even Su Ming would not know what his true self looked like...but he could see it!
What is the true nature of the strongest person recognized by so many dimensions?
The red line pulled Alfred's soul to fly rapidly in the endless deep black void. Time and distance became blurred in this place. The space here was incomprehensible to human wisdom. Alfred currently arbitrarily regarded it as a higher dimension that had not yet been touched.
Guided by the thread of murderous intent, Alfred entered the vast expanse of white.
…
After a few seconds, the scene in front of him slowly became clear, and he saw the true self of Su Ming deep inside.
When Alfred saw this scene, he was stunned.
The scene was different from what he had imagined.
The richness of the inner world is directly linked to the strength of the spirit. Alfred couldn't remember how many people he had possessed. There were countless ordinary people and many S-level psychics. The inner world of the strong had a stronger symbolic meaning, while that of ordinary people was more ordinary and dull, even childish.
He had seen people standing in the middle of a raging sea; he had seen people sitting like a king in an empty golden castle; he had also seen people who were dragons or other legendary creatures in their hearts, but he had never seen anyone like Su Ming.
Su Ming... should definitely be considered a strong man, but what is he doing? Is he playing with sand?
Alfred looked around. The surrounding scene was an outdoor activity area of a kindergarten, and the place where Su Ming was squatting was a sand pit where children often played. He squatted in the middle of the sand pit with his knees hugged, holding a thin branch in his hand and scratching something on the sand, with a smile on his face.
If it was just the appearance of a child, Alfred could accept it, because many people's hearts would always stay in the form of childhood because of a certain obsession, but what was Su Ming like? He looked like a high school student, but he was squatting in the sand pit playing with sand like a kindergarten kid!
"What does this mean?" Alfred suddenly became curious.
Deciphering other people's inner thoughts is also one of Alfred's hobbies. It is very fulfilling to come up with logical connections related to reality among different inner symbols, not to mention that the current conscious world is Su Ming's world.
Let's not destroy his consciousness for now and see what he is doing, Alfred thought.
Anyway, after coming in, he knew that he was 100% sure that he could destroy the opponent.
As an intruder into the world of consciousness, he has a special ability.
He can sense the strength of the master of this world of consciousness.
