390: Chapter 390 Jiang You! What are you daydreaming about, kid?

A bolt of lightning struck Jiang You's crown. He remembered!

Back at Magic City Martial Arts University, he had woken up from a nap to find a pile of colorful lace lingerie inexplicably on his bed!

At the time, he thought someone was framing him, so he hurriedly destroyed the evidence. And now, history had repeated itself!

And this time, it was stuffed directly into his personal ring!

In his panic, Jiang You's Brain began to race, with countless fragmented clues colliding violently in his mind.

"My ring was clearly stolen in the secret realm, yet now it's back in my hand, filled with these mysterious undergarments."

"After I fell asleep, the control of my body must have been taken over by that 'Old Master' inside me!"

"In other words... all these messy things are the handiwork of that possessing old man?"

Jiang You clutched his hair, his face turning the color of pig liver, and roared in despair deep within his heart:

"You old bastard! Just how horny are you?!"

"Other people's golden finger Old Masters use their host's body to seize heaven and earth's fortunes or snatch ancient divine weapons! You use my body just to go shopping in the girls' dormitory?!"

"Collecting used lipstick and torn stockings? You perverted old lecher! My reputation is going to be completely ruined by you sooner or later!"

Jiang You felt like crying without tears, wishing he could just bash his head against a block of tofu and die.

Suppressing his racing heart, he probed his consciousness into the ring again, intending to find some desolate place where no one was around to burn this pile of "evidence" to ashes.

However, as his consciousness rummaged through the pile of junk, his gaze suddenly froze.

At the very bottom of the pile of bizarre clothing, there were several brand-new jackets pressed down. Jiang You looked closely.

Deep blue water-patterned uniforms... those were the emblem of East Sea Martial Arts Academy. Earth-yellow Kuangsha uniforms... those were the emblem of Kuangsha Academy...

Jiang You's breathing stopped completely at that moment.

His dead fish eyes widened until they almost cracked, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpricks.

A conjecture so terrifying that it made his soul leave his body emerged from the depths of his mind like a prehistoric beast, without any warning!

"Wait... wait..."

Jiang You slid down against the cold tiles to sit on the floor, clutching his head tightly with both hands, muttering frantically and neurotically:

"During the second match, that old immortal suddenly went crazy, hijacked my body, forced me to drink two catties of white liquor, and knocked me out cold..."

"And it was during the time I was knocked out that the Faceless Man appeared in the dungeon, stripping every elite student from the prestigious schools and robbing them..."

"When those elites came out, even their shoe soles had been scavenged clean; some were even wearing only their underwear!"

"And now..." Jiang You looked at the black ring on his hand, filled with team uniforms from other academies and various messy daily necessities.

"Now, all these stolen items are actually lying in my storage ring!"

Cold sweat poured down Jiang You's forehead like a waterfall.

If he didn't know about the "Old Master" inside him, Jiang You would only think that it was that detestable "Faceless Man" framing him again!

But now that he knew the secret of his own body, an even more terrifying conjecture couldn't help but emerge in his mind!

He couldn't stop himself from shivering, continuing to trace the logic:

"Whenever I wake up, a pile of strange stolen goods always appears beside me."

"When I sleep at Magic City Martial Arts University, the Faceless Man appears at Magic City Martial Arts University, draining the Jade Spiritual Pool and stripping the principal's turtle shell."

"I came to the Imperial Capital to compete, fell asleep in the secret realm, and the Faceless Man clocked in right on time in Forbidden Zone No. 009 to rob everyone!"

"Without exception, all these stolen items appeared by his side!"

"And... in my entire life, I have never seen the Faceless Man with my own eyes!"

"He always, always commits his crimes when I lose consciousness!"

All the clues, all the coincidences, formed a perfect, fatal closed loop at this moment.

"Boom!" Jiang You felt his head explode with a buzz, and the whole world spun before his eyes.

He stared blankly at himself in the bathroom mirror, looking at that pale, terror-stricken face.

"Could it be..." "That cultist Faceless Man who summoned wind and rain in the secret realm, treated all the world's elite geniuses like dogs, and made the authorities gnash their teeth in hatred..." "Is actually..."

"Jiang You!" "Jiang You! What are you spacing out for, kid? The buns are getting cold!"

A voice, somewhat puzzled yet carrying a hint of helplessness, suddenly tore through the stagnation of time.

The scene shifted. In the luxurious, bustling buffet restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.

Jiang You was sitting at a table in the corner. His right hand was holding a large meat bun with a big bite taken out of it, his wrist suspended in mid-air.

His mouth was half-open, and his trademark dead fish eyes were staring straight at the snow-white wall in front of him, his gaze so hollow it lacked any spark of life.

He looked like a cheap wax figure on which someone had pressed the pause button, completely motionless.

Sitting opposite him, Lu Xingye set down a plate of freshly grilled bacon and fried eggs, frowned, reached out, and waved his hand vigorously in front of Jiang You's eyes twice.

"Ah... Huh?" Jiang You's hand holding the bun jolted, nearly flinging the meat filling onto the table.

He sucked in a cold breath, his unfocused pupils finally slowly converging, his soul seemingly having traversed mountains and rivers to return to this shell.

"I asked you what you were thinking about? I called you three times and you didn't react."

Lu Xingye picked up his knife and fork, elegantly cutting the fried egg on his plate, but a trace of doubt flashed in his deep eyes as he carefully scrutinized Jiang You's pale, sweat-beaded face.

"No... nothing." Jiang You swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva, guiltily hiding his left hand tightly under the dining table, terrified that someone would see that deadly black ring.

His teeth were slightly chattering, and he forced the cold bun in his hand into his mouth, muttering incoherently: "It's just... just that the meat filling in today's bun is a bit stuck in my teeth."

Hearing this perfunctory answer, the knife and fork in Lu Xingye's hand paused slightly.

Watching Jiang You's clearly unsettled, on-edge appearance, the "DiHua Radar" in his mind activated instantly.

"Can someone really space out this much just from eating a bun?"

Lu Xingye sneered in his heart and thought to himself: "Pale face, sweating on the forehead, even forgot to take a bite of his favorite free meat bun hanging by his mouth."

"This is definitely not just spacing out!" "Although the competition is over, the journey through the Dragon Fall Abyss dungeon has just begun. His current seemingly absent-minded appearance is clearly his Brain performing extreme overclocked deductions!"

"He must be reviewing the entire situation in his mind, calculating every next move of the Great Xia Martial Arts General Bureau, the Wusheng Divine Sect, and all the major prestigious schools!"

"Perhaps... he has even deduced the overall situation of the human race for years to come!"

The more Lu Xingye thought about it, the more shocked he felt, and a trace of deep awe unconsciously appeared in his eyes as he looked at Jiang You.

Just then, Gou Fugui walked over carrying a mountain-high pile of seafood fried rice and sat down next to Jiang You.

"Old Lu, don't bother Brother Jiang."

Gou Fugui pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, looked at Jiang You with a fanatical gaze that suggested "mortals cannot understand," and whispered: "This is what Brother Jiang calls meditation! The things he is contemplating are simply not in a dimension that mere mortals like us can reach!"

"We just need to stick with Brother Jiang, and we're guaranteed to win!"
