Chapter 728: The Simplest Task

He felt wary.

Although he rarely experienced emotional changes, Lin An was still influenced by his own Second Will.

He was hardly given any time to think.

In the next second, he looked at himself with an extremely grim expression, and he actually lost control of his body.

(\"Don't be so wary. \")

(\"I couldn't possibly kill myself.. \")

Sword light flashed explosively, and his power was squeezed to the limit.

Under the control of Second Lin An, his combat skills nearly increased exponentially.

Not a bit of his power was wasted.

Originally surrounded in the siege, he instantly broke free from the monsters' encirclement, causing the monsters to collide with each other.

How did Captain Lin suddenly become so fierce?

Is he using his trump card?

Xiong Hanzi, unaware of what had happened, glanced at Lin An somewhat unexpectedly.

The stone in his heart also settled.

He continually pierced and slaughtered through the monster horde.

Lin An, having lost control of his body, could only watch silently.

Second Will, indeed very strong!

Not surprising.

After all, he had always been imitating Second Lin An's fighting style, and the other's control far surpassed his.

But why would the other appear at this time?

Regarding his own Second Will, Lin An has always maintained great hostility.

Though it's said to be himself, who would willingly be replaced?

That is no different from death.

\"What do you want to say? \"

Realizing that the other controlled his body, it seemed to want to free his thoughts, obviously having something to say.

Lin An's icy thoughts suddenly questioned the past.

(\"Afraid you'll seek death. \")

He gave a light chuckle.

Second Lin An seemed to be seeking a target, continually killing specific malign entities among the monsters.

(\"I'm afraid you'll foolishly choose self-hypnosis to break the gene lock. \")

(\"Besides, your guess is correct. \")

(\"If you drag this on, the Evil God Descent's rose can kill you with a single finger. \")

The tone was mocking.

Lin An didn't get angry because of the other's tone; the Second Will has always liked to mock himself.

\"Self-hypnosis really has a problem!? Chen Yangtian... \"

Having understood the Second Will's words, he subconsciously wanted to ask, but was directly cut off by the Second Will:

(\"Your current self has no time to ask all that nonsense; don't worry about this! \")

A sharp rebuke.

After a sword pierced the head of an Arbiter, the controlled body swiftly dodged the encircling attack of the charred corpses and headed toward the monster riddled with iron nets.

(\"What you must do now is to force people into the phantom to stop the plot from progressing! \")

(\"With the Evil God Descent, both you and I will die! \")

Within his thoughts, Lin An, squeezed into a corner, was stunned by the sound.

His reaction speed was naturally fast; almost instantly he understood what the Second Will intended to do.

\"Can killing specific malign monsters allow entry into the phantom plot? \"

(\"Correct. \")

He replied coldly.

After locating the wire-net monster, Second Will paused briefly, seemingly organizing his thoughts:

(\"Let me explain from the beginning. \")

(\"So you won't remain oblivious when you face such situations in the future... \")

After habitually mocking himself once,

The Second Will spoke at lightning speed, beginning to explain:

(\"Most of your guesses are correct; the power trial can't possibly go back to set up many riddles, otherwise what would happen to the other power systems? \")

(\"Wouldn't a slower person just be waiting to die? \")

(\"So the key lies in whether one can find the correct line of thought. \")

(\"Your biggest mistake is habitually treating this mission as the previous one you faced! \")

Lin An subconsciously furrowed his brows, yet forgot that he had already lost control of his body.

Seeing that Lin An somewhat disagreed with his statement, the Second Will snorted:

(\"No need to refute me! \")

(\"You forgot the explanation the system gave when you entered the trial, didn't you! \")

(\"【Due to the perfect-level trial, this trial's difficulty has increased】\")

（「People don't know this reason, could it be that you don't know? 」）

（「This perfect-level trial was prepared just for you. So, you are the protagonist of this mission! All the information you see is useful, with no possibility of misleading. 」）

（「Can you understand? 」）

（「In previous missions, you entered passively; those missions had their difficulties and various misleading clues set in advance. 」）

（「But this time is different; this perfect-level trial is tailor-made for you! You only need to start from yourself and think! 」）

Tailor-made for me!?

Lin An's thought stagnated; he had never thought like that before.

System, how could it be because of personal...

The next moment.

Lin An gave a bitter laugh, realizing where the problem lay.

Indeed, under normal circumstances the system wouldn't care whether you live or die.

But now, it is a trial.

The essence of the trial is not an apocalypse mission.

It is actually a reward-oriented trial, not a mission where failure means death.

So, did one's way of thinking fall into a misconception from the start?

The information I saw...

With a unified mindset, the Second Will also couldn't be bothered with nonsense, knowing that Lin An had already figured out the problem.

He said lightly:

（「The information you see is nothing more than three points. 」）

（「First, the monsters' traits and the corresponding humans in the plot. 」）

（「These clues, even if Fiona doesn't actively bring them to you, you can easily notice them, and the system might even throw them right in your face. 」）

（「Second, when monsters die, the illusion becomes substantiated, growing more real. 」）

（「Third... no matter how stupid you are, you will realize that you must find a way to enter the illusion to stop the descent of the evil god, that is, to stop the plot from developing. 」）

（「And among these, there is a crucial clue: the types of monsters that appear are only at the three locations of 【Assault Scene】-【Court】-【Church】. 」）

（「Then the method to enter the illusion's plot is obvious, even so simple that no thought is needed... 」）

A sword light flashed.

The body under control severed the head of the human-headed spider with one sword.

The head held in the claws stared fixedly at Lin An.
