Chapter 492: Duel in the Basement

"Doctor, this..."

"Self-protection mechanism, we walked into the secret area he refused to expose in his heart, so he forbade us from leaving. Hm, this is not very surprising."

The doctor made a judgment quite familiarly.

The raging flames licked the faces and arms of the two. They didn't continue to walk inside for the time being, but stood at the door and sized up the interior of the accounting room.

This was still a fire scene. The room area was quite large, and collapsed file cabinets and filing cabinets pressed against each other in the sea of fire. All the cabinet doors were opened, and burning paper documents were scattered on the floor, desk, and filing cabinets, as if someone had ransacked this place before the fire.

"Over there."

The doctor pointed to the imposing desk in the innermost part of the accounting room.

Neither of them paid attention to the black silk flocculent in the air, bypassed those file cabinets, and found a man curled up beside the safe behind the desk. Banknotes were scattered around him, but strangely, these banknotes didn't catch fire.

For the footsteps behind him, the man had no reaction at all. The doctor raised his eyebrows and signaled Xia De to speak, so Xia De cleared his throat:

"Lude Jinweis?"

As soon as the words fell, the trembling figure curled up finally moved. He turned his head, and Xia De saw a man's face crying painfully. Because there were no burn marks, that face could even be considered somewhat handsome. Xia De was not sure if they had found the right target.

【It's this one.】

"It's this one."

The doctor said, then frowned slightly, because the man crying painfully actually crawled on the floor, slowly crawling toward the two, as if wanting to hug Xia De's leg. His speed was not fast, so Xia De took a step back and avoided it.

He had a very bad premonition.

Jinweis lay on those 1-pound banknotes, shedding tears, looked up, his body trembling and asked him:

"Sir, are you willing to forgive me?"

The voice didn't come from his mouth, but from all directions, as if the house was speaking.

Xia De immediately looked at the doctor, while Dr. Shi Nai De shook his head, his mouth making a speaking action:

"He is asking you."

The doctor's lip shape was probably this meaning, but Xia De didn't understand lip reading, so he couldn't rule out the possibility that Dr. Shi Nai De was asking him if he wanted to eat a midnight snack today.

"I... have no obligation to forgive you on behalf of others."

Although he knew that saying "forgive" might avoid the loss of control of the dream master, Xia De didn't want to do things against his will. Especially, he didn't believe the other party could beat both of them.

The doctor laughed, gesturing a continue gesture to Xia De.

"You, don't forgive?"

The figure lying down asked tremblingly, looking at Xia De with tear-swollen eyes in surprise.

The jumping flames around actually stopped for a moment, but immediately returned to normal.

The wind blew. The inexplicable wind in the closed fire scene didn't make the re-jumping flames sway, but swept the black silk flocculent in the air, quickly gathering toward the man's body on the banknotes, dyeing the normal skin and clothes black. At the same time, thick black liquid quickly surged out from the floor under the banknotes.

Those black liquids formed a circular black mud pool under Lude Jinweis's body almost in an instant, and the liquid in the mud pool swirled around him and rose continuously.

But the crying man didn't fall into the mud pool, but those pus substances clung to his body and gathered toward the right side of his body.

"Detective, the situation is a bit wrong."

Dr. Shi Nai De stood behind Xia De and frowned.

Xia De had the Moonlight Greatsword in his hand:

"Doctor, was it better for me to lie just now?"

But Dr. Shi Nai De's answer was completely suppressed by the voice coming from all directions in the sea of fire.

The malice conveyed by that resentful voice was simply more disgusting than the black pus seeping from the floor at this time:

"You actually refuse to forgive me!"

The black Jinweis supported the floor with both hands and suddenly raised his head in the sea of fire.

In front of Xia De's eyes, his left half of the body just turned black, while the right half of the body was completely wrapped in black pus. And when those pus covered his eyes, scarlet light spots appeared where his right eye originally existed.

Not only did the external pus gather on his body, but Lude Jinweis's own body seemed to be gushing out those disgusting black liquids.

As he stood up slowly, the black pus covering the right half of his body expanded and grew rapidly. Before Xia De could draw his sword, the swollen right half of his body exploded in an instant, and the surging pus made the highest point of the right side of his body even touch the ceiling.

The black giant hand was like a weird tumor parasitic on a normal body, and like a giant tree growing on a human body. The normal left eye full of hatred and the scarlet right eye light spot looked at Xia De at the same time:

"You! Actually refuse to forgive me!"

"Moonlight Slash!"

That black giant hand slapped the floor of the accounting room with violent airflow, and the silver moonlight was completely blocked by that giant hand.

In the astonishing vibration, the floor in the sea of fire completely collapsed. Xia De and the doctor, who couldn't stand steadily, and the dream master infected by the demon power, fell from the third floor at the same time, crossed the second-floor floor that had disappeared, smashed through the fragile first-floor floor, and fell heavily into the basement surrounded by flames along with wood chips, stone materials, furniture, and garbage.

Even though Xia De was prepared, this fall was not light. Fortunately, there was the miracle blessing applied by Dr. Shi Nai De, so he was able to push away the wooden boards and stones on his body at the first time and stand up from the sea of fire.

The black giant hand slapped the ground, making stones and garbage splash everywhere. In the roaring sound and the trembling of the earth, Jinweis also stood up.

Above their heads, the hole extending from the third floor could clearly see the cross-section of each floor, and around the two, except for the open space without burning objects under their feet, the flames completely surrounded them who were facing each other.

"Hm... where did the doctor go?"

"Roar~"

Like a beast that had completely lost its mind, Jinweis rushed toward Xia De. The black giant hand was raised high, but the imbalance of the left and right body made this action look a bit slow.

Xia De didn't try to compete with the opponent in strength, but rolled to the left, avoiding this attack just right before the giant hand fell.

Jumping up agilely with his left hand supporting the ground, while Jinweis tried to raise his right hand again, he swung the Moonlight Greatsword in his right hand at the swollen black right side of the opponent.

Black pus immediately spilled out, but when Xia De withdrew his Moonlight Greatsword, he couldn't see the wounds left by the attack.

"Why is there no wound?"

The giant hand like a giant tree had been raised again, this time sweeping horizontally along the ground. The heat wave struck. In order to prevent jumping too high and floating for too long, and being slapped on the floor by the opponent like a mosquito, Xia De chose to retreat backward this time.

Fortunately, the basement area was large, and Xia De avoided it again. And the black giant hand sweeping horizontally destroyed the wooden boards and stone garbage in the fire scene, making the red flames even more fierce.

"He is the master of the dream, no matter what, he will not die in your hands!"

The doctor's voice finally appeared from a high place. Xia De looked up at the ceiling during the battle interval and saw the doctor standing at the fracture of the first-floor floor. He was lucky and didn't fall directly into the basement like Xia De and Jinweis.

"Xia De, can you delay and trap the opponent for three minutes? Don't let the opponent leave the basement, give me three minutes to set up the ritual!"

The doctor's meaning should be that if Xia De couldn't do it, he would also join the battlefield, but this would waste more time.

"No problem, after all, he is just an ordinary person... but what exactly are those black pus?"

Xia De asked knowingly, actually wanting to test the doctor.

"Negative emotions, very rich negative emotions, but it seems not to be infectious, so you be careful."

The doctor answered like this, and then quickly left from the position above his head.

"It seems the doctor didn't see what this is."

Xia De held the sword and looked at Jinweis. The black pus on his body was undoubtedly the power of the "Demon of Human Pus". But compared to what he saw on Dac Nisi, this power was pitifully weak.

And considering the demon on Dac Nisi possessed the ability to strengthen itself by absorbing negative emotions, it was very likely that Dac Nisi had already arrived in Tobesk, and after encountering Lude Jinweis by chance, he saw his resentment and distortion, so he left his power on him.

"Human pus should also be considered a kind of body fluid similar to blood. If this is dripped into my eyes..."

Xia De was also scared by his own bold idea, but no matter what, defeating the enemy in front of him was the key at present. The opponent could be completely equivalent to an extremely weakened version of the out-of-control stupid Ivan Dac Nisi. This combat experience was very useful.

"But why did the doctor meet so coincidentally... Oh!"

Jinweis, who still didn't hit Xia De after sweeping, actually raised his right hand high, jumped high from the sea of fire, his body even almost higher than the first floor, and the black giant limbs smashed from the air toward Xia De who was thinking about things. That momentum was quite astonishing.

Xia De rolled forward again, and after feeling the flames behind him and the ground shaking, he turned around and swung a moonlight blade with his left hand, then continued to retreat.

The Moonlight Slash left wounds on Jinweis, but those wounds almost healed immediately. While Jinweis tried to stand up, Xia De seized the time and swung three more Moonlight Slashes.

Although Xia De couldn't kill the dream master in the dream, this kind of damage could make Jinweis weaker to a certain extent.

"Roar~"

His reason seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and the color of intelligent creatures could no longer be seen in his normal left eye. Jinweis waved his giant right hand and turned around, and Xia De held the sword to prepare to respond. He hoped that the confrontation time between the two could be longer, so that three minutes would pass quickly. ===== CHAPTER 493 =====
