The spacious room was dead silent. The black-haired Devil who had been lazily leaning against Magician was nowhere to be seen. Only Zong Jiu was left in the white room, leaning against the throne.
Not long ago, the Devil had taken Magician off the throne and cleaned him up. However, he was not honest, so Magician was enraged and kicked him into the Final Battle Dungeon.
Zong Jiu couldn't enter the Final Battle Dungeon so early.
Because he still had one more thing to verify and guess.
As expected, the other symbols were imprinted with a black mark one by one. Only a grayish black divinatory plate remained on the Dimension Door.
Everyone gave up except for Zhuge An.
Before, Zong Jiu and Fan Zhuo said that he had a 30% chance. Now, the chance had risen to 90%.
After eliminating everything else, the most whimsical and unbelievable answer became the only answer.
The black-haired man walked out of the Dimension Door.
His face was calm. Even when he saw the people in the meeting room, his expression didn't change at all.
"Zhuge An. Or, should I call you by your other name … Guiguzi? "
Unexpectedly, in the face of Zong Jiu's incisive accusation, Zhuge An only raised his eyes, and a trace of surprise flashed through his pupils.
"How did you find out?"
Zong Jiu looked at him coldly and didn't say a word.
In fact, if one paid attention, they would realize that even though it was unimaginable, there were similarities between all the stages.
No one knew what happened in the Investiture of the Gods dungeon.
Because too much time had passed, the survivors only knew that there used to be a number one big shot called Gui Guzi. Other than that, they knew nothing about him. Even the Night Clan, a colossus that occupied the Infinite Loop, knew very little about what happened ten years ago.
Therefore, this part could be skipped for the time being.
The most suspicious point was Zhuge An.
Compared to Guiguzi, Zhuge An was a veteran survivor who had been active in the past few years and had done a lot of big things.
First, it was about Zhuge An's background.
Zong Jiu was particularly concerned about this.
This was because no one in the infinite loop knew about Zhuge An's past.
This point had not only been confirmed by many S-class experts, but it had also been verified by the leader of the Night people.
Before the Cursed Mask instance dungeon, no one knew who Zhuge An was.
Just as Fan Zhuo had said, Night people would not be able to find out where he came from.
Logically speaking, the S-Grade Cursed Mask Instance Dungeon required a certain level of veteran survivors to enter. However, Zhuge An seemed to have sprung out of a rock. Before entering the Cursed Mask Instance Dungeon, no one in the infinite loop had heard of his name. Yet, he managed to obtain the entry ticket to the S-Grade Instance Dungeon. This was enough to raise suspicions.
No one had paid attention to this nameless nobody. Who would have thought that he would not make a move, but once he made a move, he would scheme against the three major factions.
At this point, after this S-Grade Instance Dungeon, Zhuge An had become famous. He had stepped on several other organizations and stepped onto the stage of the infinite loop.
This was one of the suspicious points.
Secondly, Zhuge An claimed to be Guiguzi's disciple and knew a lot of secrets from the past.
Indeed, this could explain why Zhuge An was not only able to predict the future like Guiguzi, but also had the same S-Grade item as Guiguzi.
At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it. It even perfectly explained his background. Therefore, when the S-class experts first found out that he was Guiguzi's disciple, they could not help but think that it was no wonder.
But on the other hand, what if Zhuge An was Guiguzi from the beginning?
No one knew what had happened in the Investiture of the Gods Instance Dungeon ten years ago. This also made it convenient for Zhuge An to show off. He could have used this ambiguous information to give himself the title of Guiguzi's disciple. He could have used the title of "Fulfilling Teacher's Last Wish" to walk around the world and push all the blame onto Guiguzi.
Just like Guiguzi's prophecy.
After so many years, the prophecy had almost been forgotten by those who wanted to live. But now, Zhuge An had brought it up again.
Moreover, Fan Zhuo understood Zhuge An too well. He was both good and evil. He could not be judged purely by good or bad. Such an arrogant person actually respected his teacher and even fulfilled his teacher's last wish? It did not make sense.
Everyone believed that Zhuge An was a good person. Perhaps he would be willing to submit to others. But Fan Zhuo would never do that.
That was why there was such a hostile conversation in the Orphanage Instance Dungeon.
But back to the topic at hand. All of these could only be called suspicious points. They could not provide any crucial evidence.
After all, Guiguzi was too far away from the present. He was so far away that he was equivalent to a famous person from the previous century. Even if there was a problem, it would only be suspicious points.
No one had ever seen Guiguzi. No one knew the deeper meaning behind this.
The real evidence was Fan Zhuo's accidental discovery that day.
In order to save the other trainees in the Orphanage Instance Dungeon, Zhuge An had brazenly used a small knife to cut open his arm.
In that instant, all of the ghosts in the Instance Dungeon had gone berserk. They had all rushed toward Zhuge An like crazy.
While everyone was praising him, Fan Zhuo hid the doubts in his heart.
At the time, everyone had been hiding in the dog hole in the dark of the thunderstorm. Injured trainees could be found everywhere. Why didn't these ghosts follow the scent of blood and drag them into the hole to be killed? Instead, they were like moths drawn to a flame, coveting Zhuge An's blood.
That kind of crazy riot didn't make sense.
The other trainees who had been saved were too grateful to Zhuge An to think too deeply about it. Thus, Fan Zhuo put aside this little bit of doubt.
Later, when they returned from the Ultra S Instance Dungeon, everyone's abilities had been returned to them by the main system.
Zhuge An didn't immediately choose to heal his arm. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Zong Jiu. This allowed Fan Zhuo, who had recovered his vampire abilities, to unintentionally discover a shocking piece of information.
"His blood tells me that he isn't a living person."
Vampires had an unparalleled sensitivity toward fresh blood.
Because of this, Fan Zhuo finally understood why the ghosts in the Orphanage Instance Dungeon had rushed toward Zhuge An like crazy.
It turned out that in their eyes, No.3 was a genuine great tonic, even more so than living creatures.
When Zong Jiu heard this news, he was also shocked beyond belief.
But at the beginning of their conversation, the two of them hadn't made the connection between Zhuge An and Guiguzi.
This was because Zong Jiu knew that Zhuge An had been divining the future and had overdrawn a lot of his life force.
The main system could heal injuries, but it couldn't directly replenish life force.
Perhaps Zhuge An knew that he didn't have much time left, so he used his mysterious Tai Chi Eight Trigrams to do something to his body?
But later on, there was something that accidentally caught Zong Jiu's attention.
It was related to the Ultra S Instance Dungeon that Zhuge An had obtained from the Ultra S Instance Dungeon.
Everyone knew that the Ultra S Instance Dungeon could summon the dead.
According to the Ultra S Instance Dungeon's explanation, humans had three spiritual souls and seven physical souls. Reincarnating was only a part of them, while the remaining spiritual souls and physical souls would forever remain in the Underworld. This was why the Ultra S Instance Dungeon could summon the dead.
The holder of the Book of the Dead couldn't summon whatever undead they wanted. The holder could only summon undead that were close to them when they were alive, or undead that had a particularly strong emotional connection with them, such as Xu Su and Xu Sen.
That day, after Zong Jiu finished drawing his tarot cards, he couldn't figure out what to do, so he casually placed his hand on the Ultra S Instance Dungeon.
The Ultra S Instance Dungeon showed that Guiguzi was one of the names he could summon, but this name was different from the others. It was dim.
Then there was a problem.
First, Zong Jiu didn't know Guiguzi, so it was impossible for him to have a close relationship with Guiguzi, who was active ten years ago.
Second, Guiguzi's name was dim. Zong Jiu tried to summon him with the Ultra S Instance Dungeon, but there was no response.
This series of coincidences made him recall Fan Zhuo's words.
'Zhuge An isn't a living person.'
As long as there was the slightest hint of suspicion and speculation, the rest of the matter would be logical.
"Brilliant reasoning, bold speculation."
After hearing his words, even Zhuge An raised his hand and applauded, echoing in the empty space.
His tightly pursed lips revealed a hint of a smile.
"I predicted that you would know about the abnormalities in my body, but I didn't expect that I would personally deliver the biggest piece of evidence to you."
Wasn't that right?
The Ultra S Instance Dungeon was personally given to Xu Sen by Zhuge An.
The white-haired youth didn't move. He stood in place and looked deeply at Zhuge An. "What are you trying to do?"
His tone wasn't sharp, and he even deliberately slowed down. It was as if after confirming the other party's identity, his aggressive aura eased.
Because the two people present knew that one of them didn't have much time left.
Zhuge An's smile faded a little.
He rarely smiled, and even if he did, it was with a hint of mockery or ridicule. It was rare for him to smile so purely from the bottom of his heart.
"You've used the tarot cards before, so you should know that this is the only thing I'm hiding from you."
Zong Jiu indeed knew.
He had tested the tarot cards back and forth so many times. With his cautious personality, how could he not know?
The prophecy was true. Zhuge An didn't tamper with the prophecy.
He really could predict the future.
The reason why he drew the moon card was because Zhuge An had concealed that he was Guiguzi.
That was all.
Perhaps everyone thought that Zhuge An had bad intentions, and everyone thought that he was hiding evil intentions, but Zong Jiu definitely didn't.
Zhuge An didn't care what others thought of him or how they suspected him. He only needed one person to believe him, and that was enough.
Zong Jiu sighed. "You've planned everything from the beginning."
"You know that this S-grade tarot card can make me believe you. Because people can lie, but special items can't. "
Back in the mental hospital dungeon, Zong Jiu had already suspected why Zhuge An deliberately left the tarot cards for him.
Perhaps even before that, the other party had already started his own plan.
Zhuge An smiled but didn't say anything.
In the next second, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly started coughing violently. His thin shoulders trembled, and it made a destructive sound like an old blower.
Drops of blood slid down his bulging fingers and dripped onto the ground.
"I don't have much time left."
After a long wait, he casually wiped the blood from his lips. "I hope this little bit of time is enough for me to finish telling you a story."
