310: Chapter 309 That's all?

"After leaving St. Lianna Hospital last night, Zhang Chi interrogated Lin Jie and learned that his Talent is Heavenly Secret, which happens to overlap with yours, and even the descriptions of the abilities are extremely similar! Afterward, he immediately arranged for Mind Reading and received a positive answer once again."

Huo Gui said with narrowed eyes, "In contrast, when you were tested, only a lie detector was used, and no Mind Reading was performed! Your sequence skill, Heart Bewitchment, can completely perform self-hypnosis to bypass that! So, what exactly is your Talent?"

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and then chuckled softly. "Why do you think only one person can possess the Talent of Heavenly Secret?"

"What a joke!" Huo Gui sneered, his tone full of mockery. "Such a startling Talent, comparable to Revelation—how could two people possess it at the same time?"

Chu Xuan said indifferently, "You don't understand Heavenly Secret, so how would you know two people can't have it at once?"

"Even now, you're still making excuses? You really won't give up until you're at death's door. Today, I will thoroughly expose your true face!"

Huo Gui smiled coldly, pointed a hand at Chu Xuan, and said loudly, "In fact, the real Chu Xuan died long ago. Your true identity is the other S-rank Specter from the Night Demon Incident at Haicheng Medical University!"

Seeing everyone's eyes fall on him, Huo Gui said in a low voice:

"According to He Jun's report before his death, Qin Qing's account in the Night Demon Incident files, and the reconstructed video footage of the scene, the Night Demon was severely injured when you escaped and was then controlled by an S-rank Specter to continue hunting you. Afterward, this S-rank Specter completely vanished into thin air! Where did it go?"

Huo Gui clearly didn't intend for anyone to answer this question and continued:

"Furthermore, when Qin Qing chose to stay behind, she didn't actually clash with the Night Demon; they only stood in a standoff for a few minutes before the Night Demon fled in a hurry!"

"Why did this happen?"

"The reason is simple. This S-rank Specter paid a significant price to forcibly descend into this world. It eventually gave up control of the Night Demon and instead directly pursued Chu Xuan and Tang Zheng, successfully obtaining the vessel it wanted."

"That is the current you, Chu Xuan! You are that parasitized S-rank Specter!"

"Not just because your sequence skill is Heart Bewitchment, which shares the same origin as the S-rank Specter that disappeared back then, but also because we checked the surveillance footage from when Tao Jiajia was tracking you in the Small Commodities Market!"

"That night, the reason you were able to leave silently was that you transformed into someone else! This shouldn't be an ordinary transformation skill, but [Myriad Forms], right? A skill exclusive to the Final Phantom God sequence!"

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

The other party's last sentence was correct, but when he changed his appearance that night, he had repeatedly confirmed there were no surveillance cameras around.

For the other party to say this, they were either testing him with a guess or had ulterior motives, intentionally trying to link him to these events.

"Well? Do you have nothing left to say?"

Huo Gui stared straight at Chu Xuan and said slowly, "As for your ability to accurately find other Specters, it's naturally because your status as an S-rank Specter allows you to sense Strange Creaturess that aren't well-hidden."

"Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility that you relied on your unique S-rank Specter aura to forcibly invade living bodies, causing them to turn into Strange Creaturess, thereby 'proving' you possess the Heavenly Secret Talent!"

"Besides that, there are far too many suspicious points about you, and the most crucial one is that your strength has increased too quickly!"

Huo Gui's eyes gleamed as he said coldly, "How many days has it been? You've grown from an ordinary person to this level?"

"Judging by your performance, even an average Level 10 Transcendent wouldn't be a match for you, right?"

"Your basic attributes and various skills all require resources to accumulate! How many Specter incidents have you actually experienced? Where did you get so much spirituality value?"

"But if we think about it the other way—that you didn't rapidly increase your strength from scratch, but are instead an S-rank Specter recovering its power—then everything makes sense."

As Huo Gui spoke, the way everyone looked at Chu Xuan changed once again, filled with a hint of wariness and strangeness.

However, Chu Xuan's expression remained unchanged from start to finish as he lightly curled his lips. "I thought you had some brilliant conclusion. Is that all? Nothing else to say?"

"Isn't this enough?"

Huo Gui once again showed a playful smile. "I can give you a chance to defend yourself. This is your only chance, so make sure to seize it."

"Give me a chance? Just you?"

Chu Xuan smiled coldly.

If this Huo Gui could speak properly, he wouldn't mind wasting some breath, or even using Nirvana Stripping to demonstrate before these people that he indeed possessed the means to identify Specters and strip them from humans.

This method alone would be enough to prove himself.

But the other party insisted on putting on airs, throwing accusations from the start, and was already biased, having acknowledged Revelation's contribution. No matter what Chu Xuan said, they likely wouldn't believe him.

In that case, there was no need to say anything more!

Furthermore, given this series of half-true inferences, Chu Xuan increasingly suspected that the reason the other party could say these things was likely due to Revelation's influence behind the scenes.

"I am enough!"

Huo Gui looked composed and incredibly confident. "I've caught your true body. Within the range of this Immobilizing Mirror, you've already lost the initiative!"

"As the saying goes, a lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit. You've been continuously illuminated for several minutes; I'm afraid it's difficult for you to even move now, right?"

Huo Gui sneered, "I'm waiting for the best moment to kill you. What are you waiting for?"

As he spoke, the light on the longsword in Huo Gui's hand intensified, emitting bursts of humming sounds. He pointed the sword at Chu Xuan, his eyes full of killing intent.

"Is that all? I thought you'd keep calling for more people..."

Along with his calm words, more clanging sounds rang out.

It was as if ten thousand swords were being unsheathed!
