Worlds’ Apocalypse Online Chapter 1385

Chapter 1387 - Chess match

The small brick house.

Xiao Die wasn’t here; she had either gone to the Ominous Demon Tower or the City Lord’s manor.

Gu Qing Shan tossed Yu Juan on the ground and pierced his chest with the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

Numerous rays of light appeared from Yu Juan’s body, then quickly faded away.

Yu Juan endured the pain and coldly questioned: “This isn’t the Earth sword. How could it destroy all of my defensive measures?”

Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer.

He grabbed the hilt of the sword and lifted Yu Juan up, violently pinning him on the wall.

“Aaarrggh—-”

Yu Juan uttered a painful shriek, as if preparing to unleash something.

Gu Qing Shan’s expression didn’t change and simply declared: “Move, and you die”

Yu Juan could only hang both hands down.

He breathed heavily: “You——- how did you discover me?”

Gu Qing Shan questioned in return: “Yu Juan, why did you sell me out? For what reason did you tell the wraiths about me?”

Yu Juan’s expression reflected clear pain as his was sweating bullets, seemingly unable to endure the torture of being pinned to the wall.

Shannu’s voice sounded from the sword: “Gongzi, this isn’t his real body”

Gu Qing Shan’s expression remained calm and nonchalantly replied: “I know”

There were infinite worlds within the space vortex with countless Combatants with countless abilities. It was impossible for someone to always win against their adversaries, and even more impossible to know everything.

Fortunately, Gu Qing Shan specifically chose the Six Paths Great Mountain sword to attack him.

This sword was capable of breaking all Laws.

This was why Shannu instantly noticed the disparity as soon as she stabbed him.

Yu Juan’s pained expression faded, he then smiled: “Your sword spirit sure is sensitive. How regretful that my eyes were drawn by the Earth sword and didn’t notice that you had another such a powerful sword”

Gu Qing Shan spoke: “I’ll ask you again, why did you sell me out?”

He stared closely into Yu Juan’s eyes; his tone now gained a bit of killing intent.

“I won’t force you to answer if you don’t want to, but keep in mind, I will destroy this clone of yours, then continued searching for you until I kill you”

Yu Juan replied: “Dragon King of Atrocity Jail, tsk, sure enough, someone who could achieve so many things wouldn’t be easy to deal with—— how about this, I’ll answer one of your questions, then you must answer one of my questions. If you refuse, then just kill this clone, we’ll meet again later”

“Why did you sell me out?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Yu Juan chuckled and replied: “You sure wasted no time on that—- very well, I’ll tell you. I did not sell you out, even now I haven’t done so, we simply aren’t people on the same side from the very beginning. Everything I’ve done, I did out of necessity from my perspective”

“In other words, my death benefits you in some way” Gu Qing Shan said.

“Correct” Yu Juan admitted.

“What’s your relationship with the wraiths?” Gu Qing Shan asked again.

“Stop, we’ve already agreed, one question in exchange for one question” Yu Juan said.

He then asked: “Dragon King, how did you notice that it was me?”

Gu Qing Shan coldly replied: “You’ve always left a bunch of breadcrumbs to be seen. I simply didn’t say anything because everyone has their own secrets, and you haven’t done anything I can’t forgive, not to mention we’ve even fought on the same side”

The six-winged seraph laughed: “Don’t act so deep. I can already guess what happened, it must have been Crow’s predictions, otherwise you would never have discovered that you were sold out”

Gu Qing Shan muttered: “Ever since Crow and I saved you from the pile of corpses, you were already exposed”

Yu Juan’s laughter stopped.

“You’re lying” he stared straight at Gu Qing Shan and spoke in a heavy tone.

“It was quite simple. When Crow and I were stuck in the tower, you purposely gave off a hint of vitality while hiding among a pile of corpses, I knew right away that there were issues with you”

“I was a survivor” Yu Juan said.

“The corpses around you were several days old, some of the corpses had already become rotten, but you were still full of vitality. In an apocalyptic situation, that kind of luck is nearly nonexistent” Gu Qing Shan explained.

Yu Juan remained silent for a bit, then said: “I’ll be sure to pay attention to my surroundings next time—— but that can’t prove that there’s some sort of issue with me, what if I was truly just lucky?”

Gu Qing Shan continued: “In the Saint Spirit world, to better deal with the world’s issues and challenges, I was turned into a young man, Crow was turned into a woman, while you were turned into a duck plushie”

“So what? Speaking of which, that world spirit is truly detestable, turning me into a toy like that” Yu Juan begrudgingly said.

Gu Qing Shan looked at him and slowly pointed out: “I was turned into a young man because the world spirit needed me to begin with the identity of Rhode; Crow was turned into a woman because he was already extremely beautiful as a man, turning him into a woman only helped him further take advantage of what he already had—— don’t you get it? The world spirit was helping us, and also helping itself”

“But you were turned into a duck plushie, meaning that the world spirit felt cautious against you. It would rather disregard you as a possible helping hand than to let you participate in the crucial events that followed”

“If you were with me while I was doing my work in the plague world and extinct monster world, then the results might have been very different”

Gu Qing Shan’s body tilted forward and stared straight into Yu Juan’s eyes, telling him: “The world spirit is the combined form of numerous Laws, it was able to sense that you were trouble”

Yu Juan was stunned, temporarily speechless.

Gu Qing Shan continued: “After we returned, while Crow and I were discussing our matter, you happened to show up just in time, and even introduced the technological light rings that could monitor everything—–”

“Seems like you really didn’t know, but I’m actually a scientist”

“You? A scientist?” Yu Juan exclaimed in disbelief.

Gu Qing Shan regretfully continued: “I know of the hidden functions of your lightbulb, but didn’t say anything. Because I felt that regardless of the schemes you’re trying to hatch, I would be able to handle them”

“You won’t be able to handle this one” Yu Juan refuted.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t say anything.

He simply pointed at the sword in Yu Juan’s chest with his finger.

Yu Juan looked down at the sword in his chest and fell silent.

At this point, powerful rays of light could be seen appearing one after another from the nearby window.

“Hurry! Let’s go take a look!”

“Somebody destroyed the Church”

“What the hell, who exactly was it that actually managed to erase the entire Splendor Saint Church!?”

“Those angels are running everywhere like headless flies”

“My god, this is big news!”

The two people in the small brick house silently listened to the conversation outside.

Yu Juan’s pupils suddenly shrank, his expression turned absolutely serious.

Gu Qing Shan then said: “Now it’s your turn to answer me—- what’s the relationship between you and the wraiths?”

“Allies. Many of the forces within Void City are mutual allies with the wraiths, like the Grand Library, the Church, the Bounty Hunter Guild. There are actually a lot more, but I can only tell you three of them at most, I won’t mention the rest” Yu Juan said.

“Why do you want to help the wraiths? You know they’ve done a lot of evil deeds, so what exactly are you thinking?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Yu Juan waved his hand dismissively and said: “It’s my turn to ask you now. Tell me, if the person you sold you out wasn’t me but Crow, then would you also have so many reasons to suspect that there were issues with him?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “There’s a lot, but they’re not exactly clues”

“What do you mean?” Yu Juan questioned.

“In their daily lives, it is impossible for an individual to always focus themselves on a single task, the general state for everyone should be subconscious—– for example, while we’re drinking at the bar, if you took the time to make observations, you’d discover that everyone is prone to making a lot of subconscious gestures that they don’t even notice. But you can’t simply use these subconscious actions to judge whether or not someone is good or bad—– this was also the reason why I easily ignored your schemes so many times” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“You thought that I was on your side” Yu Juan concluded.

“Correct, especially after we went through battle together” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Yu Juan tilted his head to think, then continued: “Then, you were waiting to see what kind of wrongdoing I would commit? And then what? What were you going to do then?”

Gu Qing Shan replied: “If you were heading down the wrong path, I would pull you pack; if you were being forced by someone else, I would kill them; if you had other troubles, Crow and I would have helped you resolve them”

Yu Juan lowered his head, a lot of images flashed through his gaze but he didn’t say anything for a while.

“Then, you’re saying I disappointed you?” he suddenly asked.

“From now on, you won’t be able to” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Yu Juan looked up, once again carefully observing Gu Qing Shan.

“It’s been a long time since I met someone like you” he slowly said, “If this wasn’t a crucial point in our operation, and you weren’t standing in the middle of our bigger picture, I truly would have wanted you to join us”

“What exactly are you doing?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Yu Juan stared straight at him, then seriously replied: “After I answer this question, I won’t owe you anything else. From this point on, you and I will live as fate had decided for us to, our acquaintance won’t affect our survival”

“That will depend on the answer I receive” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Yu Juan slightly tilted forward and lowered his voice: “The Era of the Samsara Clash for Supremacy is approaching, and we… are preparing to destroy the entire Samsara to fix the future era”

He then twisted around himself, his body slashed to bits by the sword that was pinning him to the wall, shattering into pieces of white paper.

—–he destroyed his own clone to leave Gu Qing Shan’s sight.
