191: Chapter 191 The Way to Break the Stalemate

Chu Xuan cursed inwardly. If this was really Zhao Hongchan's doing, it was truly vicious; that was her own flesh and blood.

But immediately after, Chu Xuan thought of something else: "Is it possible that if Zhao Hongchan is indeed Azure Dragon, she might have been influenced by the Specter inside her to do such a thing? That wouldn't be strange; we cannot use the mindset of a normal person to gauge her."

"Tang Zheng: Your deduction makes sense. Zhao Hongchan does indeed have this suspicion, but others cannot be ruled out either... Chu Huan is here, I can't escape. Also, don't forget to have the past me get another tattoo; this method is very useful."

After this sentence, [Future Tang Zheng] had no more messages.

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment and felt that investigating the identity of Azure Dragon could not rely solely on [Future Tang Zheng]; he also needed to take action on his end to perform an elimination.

However, how to effectively eliminate suspects had become a problem...

The spirituality value consumed by entering the dream had now stacked up to 90 points. Dying one more time would make it 100 points. The number of attempts he could make was very limited, so he needed to use it sparingly.

Chu Xuan walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room, pacing back and forth. His mind was filled with countless thoughts, envisioning various ways to eliminate suspects, only to constantly overturn them.

Chu Xuan realized that he seemed to have fallen into the predicament of being unable to see clearly because he was too involved. At this moment, if there could be an outsider, perhaps they could help him clear up some of his thoughts.

The sound of a door being pushed open rang out, and Xu Zhiyou walked out of the bedroom.

Upon seeing Chu Xuan, he was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "I knew it was you. You seem to have some trouble? You said yesterday that you would tell me today; perhaps I really can help you."

Chu Xuan looked deeply at Xu Zhiyou. Through the emotional perception of his Heart-Confusing Skill, he sensed that the other party seemed to have some expectations in his heart.

"What are you expecting?"

"Of course, I am expecting to be able to demonstrate my value to you."

Xu Zhiyou said this with a smile on his face: "The more I know, the more I am convinced that you are definitely someone who can stand at the top in a short period of time. I have self-awareness; to live better in this terrible world, I must follow the right person."

"You haven't changed at all; you're still the same as you were in the dormitory."

Chu Xuan nodded slightly, took Xu Zhiyou to the study upstairs, and spent over half an hour telling him everything about the current situation.

This included his own talent abilities, Tang Zheng's Fighting God ability, and the various attempts in the dream over the past few days. Except for not mentioning the Phantom Demon and the Purifier, everything was told without reservation.

Finally, Chu Xuan also informed him of some methods he was preparing to test the identity of Azure Dragon.

Xu Zhiyou's spirit attribute was far inferior to a Transcendent, but Chu Xuan had already witnessed his clever mind, keen observation, and ability to capture details back in the dormitory.

These were also the values that the other party had always tried his best to demonstrate, and now, Chu Xuan decided to test the quality of this value.

"You mean... this is your dream right now?"

After hearing Chu Xuan's narration, Xu Zhiyou was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. It was a long while before he calmed down, yet he did not answer immediately.

After bowing his head and pondering for a moment, he let out a long sigh:

"You are right. The simplest method of elimination is to find a way to kill all the official members of the Night Watchers. Whoever cannot be killed is most likely to be Azure Dragon!"

Xu Zhiyou frowned and pondered: "But there are several difficulties in this that need to be overcome..."

Chu Xuan's expression was calm; he didn't speak, quietly waiting for the other party to think.

A few seconds later, Xu Zhiyou spoke again:

"First, this matter is too crazy. Will Tang Zheng really listen to you?"

"Second, even if Tang Zheng listens to you, he may not be able to kill everyone within 1 minute. This might require coming back a few more times."

"Third, even if you find out the identity of Azure Dragon, so what? Will taking the initiative definitely be able to kill Azure Dragon?!"

"You just said that Azure Dragon will make a move on you at noon on the 18th, the day after tomorrow. So, apart from these few days, you still have two days of opportunities to enter the dream."

"Waking up from the dream right on time is your most spirituality-saving method!"

"And if you use the method of dying to restart, entering the dream multiple times in the same day to keep trial-and-error, it will inevitably consume a lot of spirituality value. Eventually, it might reach a point where your spirituality value is insufficient to enter the dream. Besides, haven't you already tried it? Even giving Tang Zheng 1000 points of spirituality value resources was useless. Trying a few more times probably won't yield a better result."

Xu Zhiyou pondered for a moment: "Perhaps continuing to try to escape Haicheng is the optimal choice. When your strength is strong enough, all of today's troubles will be like floating clouds."

Chu Xuan stared at Xu Zhiyou for a good while before asking: "Do you have any ideas for escaping?"

"Very simple."

Xu Zhiyou snapped his fingers: "State it directly. Using your [Heavenly Secret] as an excuse, tell everyone that Azure Dragon wants to kill you and you must rush to the Beijing headquarters to get protection."

"I've heard people talk about your contributions; applying for an armed helicopter to escort you away shouldn't be a problem, right? Reduce the armament configuration and add an auxiliary fuel tank. It's about 1000 kilometers from here to Beijing; the fuel should be enough."

"Of course, if possible, it's best to apply for a fighter jet from the Haicheng Air Force Base. You could fly to Beijing in less than an hour. As long as Captain Ming nods and coordinates with the Beijing headquarters, this is very easy."

"You can ask everyone to come together to send you onto the plane heading to Beijing. In this situation where everyone is present, Azure Dragon cannot pursue you immediately. Even if they turn into a White Falcon afterward, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up to you and can only watch you leave helplessly."

After speaking, Xu Zhiyou added: "Remember, absolutely do not let anyone escort you. Who knows, Azure Dragon might be among them. Even Zhang Qiang, whom you have already ruled out, is the same. At most, you should only bring Tang Zheng with you; you cannot trust anyone else."

"You don't even need a pilot!"

"Transcendent spirit attributes are powerful, and all aspects of physical fitness and learning ability are far superior to ordinary people. Learning to fly a plane is not difficult. As long as the skill Rank reaches LV.1, it can be upgraded using spirituality value. No need to upgrade it too high; LV.3 is completely sufficient."

After speaking, Xu Zhiyou let out a long breath, feeling a bit dry-mouthed: "The sooner you do this, the better, because if the time is late, other changes might arise. You must fly out of Haicheng before noon on the 18th."

Chu Xuan took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and handed it to the other party, his expression as calm as water: "What you say makes sense, but I still want to try if I can kill Azure Dragon."

Xu Zhiyou nodded: "How to choose is of course up to you. I am just providing you with my thoughts, but I still suggest you try to leave Haicheng, because this is indeed the safest method."

"Why are you so persistent in letting me escape? Instead of trying to kill Azure Dragon first, and if that doesn't work, then choosing to escape using your method?"

Chu Xuan stared at Xu Zhiyou, his gaze deep: "I sensed the urgency in your emotions."

Xu Zhiyou was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly: "Of course, there is also a little bit of my own selfishness in this. I definitely don't want you to waste spirituality value in vain. Not only am I worried that you might fail your attempt, but I also hope that you can save more spirituality to become stronger as quickly as possible."

Speaking of this, a flash of passion crossed Xu Zhiyou's eyes again: "On the day you return to Haicheng, I hope I can truly stand by your side and become a teammate you can trust."

"No problem!"

Chu Xuan's expression was indifferent as he slowly drew his blade: "But before that, I still need to verify one more thing."

"Verify what..."

Before Xu Zhiyou's words had even left his mouth, the next instant, he stopped abruptly.

Puchi!

The long blade plunged into his chest in an instant.

Xu Zhiyou looked down at it, then slowly looked up again, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Wh... why?"
