293: Chapter 292 Code Name: Revelation

I've been targeted...

Who could it be?

Chu Xuan recounted every detail of his experiences from these few dreams to Future Tang Zheng, while simultaneously pondering the situation in his mind.

"Tang Zheng: The Debt-Collecting Ghost has appeared early twice in a row, and each time earlier than the last? That shouldn't be happening!"

"Logically speaking, given the Debt-Collecting Ghost's method of movement, it's only a distance of a few kilometers; it's impossible for there to be such a long time difference."

"In the first dream, the Debt-Collecting Ghost appeared on time."

"But in the second dream, you posted on the forum asking for a way to break the Debt-Collecting Ghost's death rule, and the Debt-Collecting Ghost appeared about half a minute early."

"Now, in your third dream, you went straight to the bank to withdraw money, and this time the Debt-Collecting Ghost was nearly a minute early."

"It must be your abnormal behavior these past two times that caused the Debt-Collecting Ghost to appear early. You have indeed been targeted. It is very likely that your every move has been detected by the other party!"

Chu Xuan stared at the message sent by Future Tang Zheng, his thoughts racing, when his gaze suddenly fixed on the description of the second dream.

He vaguely felt that something wasn't right.

"Tang Zheng: Wait a second... You said someone on the official forum told you that what you need to break the Debt-Collecting Ghost's death rule might be spirit money? That person's ID was 'I Observe Myself'?"

"I cannot deduce the existence of this person! There is definitely something wrong with them! They might be deliberately guiding you, making you go look for spirit money, thereby causing you to miss the glimmer of survival you might have otherwise captured!"

Chu Xuan's eyes suddenly narrowed.

That's right!

In the second dream, he had indeed hesitated about the "money"—whether it should be cash or spirit money.

Although Chu Xuan had been inclined towards spirit money at the time, it was precisely because of the reply from "I Observe Myself" on the forum that he firmly chose to look for spirit money.

The end result was that he took the wrong path, and even though he arrived in another world through the random teleportation scroll, he was still hunted down by the Debt-Collecting Ghost.

Now, in the third dream, although he successfully dealt with the Debt-Collecting Ghost, as long as the person scheming behind his back remained, there was no guarantee they wouldn't become a future disaster.

Was it someone from the Resurrection Society?

This organization was the first thing that came to Chu Xuan's mind.

Whether it was the exposure of the incident regarding the trickery with spirit money, or the slaying of Azure Dragon.

Including the recent killing of Xu Wei and Ji Tong, the exposure of their true identities, and the method used to cause the Specters within them to revive—this had undoubtedly made the Resurrection Society hold a grudge against them.

Especially given his identity as a Purifier; whenever he got close to people from the Resurrection Society, they would develop killing intent toward him. The relationship between the two sides had reached a point of irreconcilable hostility.

"Tang Zheng: To be able to erase traces and make it so I cannot deduce them! And at this time node three years ago, to actually be able to command an existence like the Debt-Collecting Ghost, and even almost conduct real-time monitoring of you... I think... I probably know who it is."

Chu Xuan: "Who?"

"Tang Zheng: This person, his codename is Revelation! I didn't expect that he was still alive, and it is highly likely that he has remained alive until now, three years later..."

Chu Xuan's expression gradually grew grave.

From these few words from Future Tang Zheng, as well as his previous understanding of Revelation, Chu Xuan had an intuition that this Revelation was likely an even more troublesome existence than Azure Dragon.

He still remembered asking Future Tang Zheng about Revelation back then, and the other party had told him not to worry about Revelation's existence because Revelation wouldn't live for long.

But now, Revelation had popped up again.

"Tang Zheng: It's truly a pity. You killed the two disasters, Azure Dragon and Night Demon, but you let Revelation survive..."

Chu Xuan: "How so?"

"Tang Zheng: On the original timeline, Revelation was killed after Yang Yu returned from his first exploration of the large-scale central Dark Place. This incident once caused a sensation throughout the entire official organization, causing panic and leaving everyone unable to trust their former teammates anymore."

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow, immediately realizing something was wrong.

Before entering the dream, he had browsed the official forum and seen someone post a relevant thread; Yang Yu was currently on his second exploration of the Dark Place.

But there had been no news about Revelation being killed.

"Tang Zheng: However, on this current timeline, Revelation disappeared shortly after the world underwent great changes and never appeared again! I once thought that Revelation might have died in some other incident, or perhaps because of some change, Yang Yu had secretly killed Revelation without making it public."

"But now it seems that is completely not the case!"

"It is highly likely that Revelation has been alive all along, and has already moved from the light into the shadows!"

"Thinking back now, the difference between the two timelines lies in the fact that you killed Azure Dragon, and you also killed Night Demon within half an hour of becoming a Purifier."

"It is possible that these reasons made him sense some danger, causing him to abandon his current identity and hide behind the scenes!"

Chu Xuan lowered his eyes slightly.

Future Tang Zheng's guess was correct, but there should be one more critical point in all of this.

That was the cause of He Jun's death!

Although He Jun did not have a Specter inside him, nor was he a World Traitor, he was clearly following Revelation's instructions.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the successive deaths of Azure Dragon and Night Demon, followed by the death of He Jun, that made Revelation sense the danger.

And with Revelation's abilities, the other party had likely already calculated that everything was done by him, and might even already know that he was able to achieve all of this not by relying on some S-rank Specter inside him.
