Chapter 303: Write "Heartbroken for Gui Gui" in the comment section! (Two-in-one, double monthly votes at the end of the month)
"Spirit Master, what is this?"
Gui's experiences were clearly observed by Lin Su in another space. At this moment, witnessing the Spirit Master not revealing their identity but claiming to be the "Judicator of the Dark Temple," Lin Su felt puzzled.
"Take a look at Yingying." Spirit Master didn't directly explain but pointed at Yingying, who was separately restrained on the side.
Lin Su focused his gaze, and after a moment, noticed something different about Yingying.
The faint outline of black mist, almost invisible before, appeared to have condensed slightly.
This slight solidification wasn't very obvious, even Lin Su had to put in some effort to notice it.
"This is..." Lin Su blinked, still unable to understand.
"Gui and Yingying are dual souls, similar to dual personalities, generally forming under certain special experiences in childhood." Spirit Master began slowly.
Lin Su nodded with a half-understanding expression.
Similar to dual personalities?
He had previously speculated about reasons for Yingying's existence.
"Because of this, the connection between the two is extremely strong. If one rashly severs their connection, attempting to transform Yingying into an independent entity could lead to the annihilation of Yingying's consciousness."
Spirit Master's voice was still hoarse and fierce, but now carried a touch of seriousness, "You can see that its consciousness is very fragile at this moment."
Looking at the mist that seemed to dissipate with a breath, Lin Su nodded, asking nervously, "Then what should be done?"
"Emotion." Spirit Master spoke in a deep voice, "Only when Gui's emotional fluctuations are extremely intense, will the link between Yingying and Gui become unstable. My power has a chance to take advantage and transform Yingying from illusion to reality."
"During this process, the stronger Gui's emotional fluctuations, the higher the success rate of Yingying's separation."
Lin Su seemed to understand something.
"So, is it to frighten Gui to evoke intense emotions?" Lin Su pondered, "Making him suffer is a similar reason?"
"Mere fear isn't enough." Spirit Master let out another eerie laugh, "In any case, leave it to me."
Lin Su: "..."
He suddenly wasn't so assured.
Even Qiuqiu couldn't help but cast a sympathetic glance at Gui on the screen.
The little brother, knowing the truth, won't know how deep the psychological shadow will be.
Outside discussions, Gui knew nothing.
At this moment, facing those scarlet and sinister eyes, he couldn't help but speak.
"Jie?" (How will you judge whether I am qualified to receive the opportunity?)
"Through it!" Spirit Master's voice, accompanied by a sneer, replied.
As the words fell, infinite blood-red mist quietly gathered in the void, quickly coalescing into a blood-red roulette in midair.
On that blood-red roulette, there were seven partitions of equal size, each with a pitch-black pattern.
Seven patterns, each different, yet mysterious, carrying an eerie aura.
This roulette...
Gui blinked, remaining silent.
He guessed that this mysterious and terrifying existence, having presented it, was likely to explain its purpose.
As expected, Spirit Master's words slowly came, the deep, raspy voice seemingly deliberately cultivating a horrifying atmosphere.
"This is the Seven Sins Roulette." Spirit Master's voice paused slightly, those blood-red eyes glared at Gui, vertical pupils like an abyss, as if ready to swallow him fiercely.
Spirit Master continued slowly, "In my view, every sin in this world can be categorized into seven major types, and these seven areas on the roulette correspond to seven sins."
"Next, I will gradually illuminate these seven areas to check if you have corresponding sins." Spirit Master laughed eerily, the chilling laughter coupled with the dark environment was especially terrifying, "If you have them, you will face dire punishment!"
"Last until the entire roulette lights up, only then will you pass." Spirit Master's scarlet eyes suddenly approached Gui, almost touching his mask, "Understood?!"
Suddenly, immense fear surged within Gui's heart.
Initially, the term "Seven Sins" seemed somewhat familiar to him, but now, in this feeling of fear, he was flustered, quickly setting aside his previous thoughts, and nodded hurriedly.
Gui shouldn't have been so easily affected by emotions, yet in the space crafted by Spirit Master, it seemed to amplify emotions, something Gui couldn't resist at his sovereign stage.
In just an instant, Yingying, unseen by Gui, appeared to have solidified slightly again.
Similarly perceiving this scene, Lin Su's face revealed a complex expression.
On one hand, he was pleased that Yingying was one step closer to success, while on the other, he felt sorry for Gui.
"Post 'Sorry for Gui' in the comments!"
The words Spirit Master said to Gui were equally heard by Lin Su, who couldn't help but glance at Spirit Master beside him, "Spirit Master, what are those seven sins you mentioned?"
"Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust."
Facing Lin Su, Spirit Master had no need to conceal, now speaking calmly.
"Pride is ignoring the existence of others, having only oneself in mind, elevating oneself due to blind confidence, and distorting psychological and behavioral gestures."
