Chapter 53: The Final Battle (4)

“As long as the live broadcast is still on, Gu Yi is not dead,”

The team leader's voice resounded with conviction.

But everyone knew that it was just the leader's attempt to comfort everyone.

“Leader…”

“Wait, look at the live broadcast, something seems off.”

Everyone put down their work and focused their gaze on the live screen.

A twisted void portal appeared out of nowhere.

Gu Yi's hairy arm struggled and extended from the void portal.

He once again created a miracle!

…

In Weird World.

Unspeakable turned his head and walked towards Chongshan.

At this moment, Chongshan had already stepped on his younger brother, his eyes filled with anger.

“How dare you betray me? How dare you point a gun at your own brother?”

The shop owner clenched his fist stubbornly.
“You're no longer my brother.
You've been controlled by that monster.”

“You don't understand what I'm trying to do.
It's not controlling me, but I'm controlling it.”

Chongshan beckoned to Unspeakable with his finger.

Unspeakable nodded and walked towards Chongshan.

Creak…

The sound of shattered glass echoed.

Chongshan and Unspeakable simultaneously looked back.

A void portal appeared out of thin air.

A black arm extended from it.

Gu Yi climbed back from the void, his face covered in blood, holding his own skin in his hand.
His terrifying appearance resembled a demon from hell.

“Chongshan, you look really ugly.”

Gu Yi's face was covered in blood as he looked at Chongshan.

At this moment, everything before his eyes underwent a tremendous change.

Chongshan turned into an emaciated monster with a black hole in his chest.

The shop owner became a creature with a literal pig's head, with a pair of black shackles on his feet.

Doctors and nurses from the hospital came out, each with a bird's head, resembling woodpeckers turned into people.

As for Unspeakable behind Chongshan – it was nothing but a mass of black flesh, constantly pulsating like a twisted heart.

“You…
How could you…”

“It's time to end this!”

Gu Yi unleashed all of his wildness and thrust his bone-cutting knife toward Chongshan.

Unspeakable automatically positioned itself in front of Chongshan.

The bone-cutting knife effortlessly pierced through Unspeakable.

The mass of flesh fell to the ground, wriggling incessantly until it dissolved into a pool of blood.

Chongshan screamed in horror.

He never expected Gu Yi to possess such courage, intelligence, and bravery! Even after being engulfed by the void, he managed to stay clear-headed and return.

“It's your turn, Mr.
Dean.”

Gu Yi, holding the knife, approached Chongshan.

Chongshan struggled desperately and lunged toward Unspeakable's lifeless body.
“No one can kill me in this hospital!”

Unspeakable reformed and merged with Chongshan, filling the massive cavity in his chest.

Chongshan's withered body regained its fullness.

“Die!”

Chongshan punched Gu Yi, sending him flying.

Gu Yi felt an intense pain in his chest.
Chongshan's punch had broken at least three of his ribs.
Struggling, he climbed up from the ground and looked up to see Chongshan standing over him with a dominating stance.

Chongshan, completely transformed into a monster, was now unbeatable!

“Do you think you can stop me? Impossible!”

Chongshan seized Gu Yi by the neck.

Everything blurred before Gu Yi's eyes.

He saw a swift figure flash past.

Chongshan suddenly froze, standing motionless like a sculpture.

A gigantic black-haired monster appeared behind Chongshan, emitting a sound similar to a dog's bark.

“Roar! You killed my daughter, you stole my research achievements, and you even imprisoned my soul!”

“You must go to hell!”

“As you sow, so shall you reap!”

“Your retribution has come, Chongshan!”

While roaring, the black-haired monster restrained Chongshan's limbs.

Gu Yi's eyes lit up, he gritted his teeth and thrust the knife into Chongshan's chest.

The light in Chongshan's eyes gradually faded as he exhaled his last breath, collapsing limply in Gu Yi's embrace.

The black-haired monster let out a roar and dissipated into the air like smoke and dust.

Evidently, she was the vengeful spirit of I's mother.

If Gu Yi had killed her without hesitation in the past, completely eliminating Toto's mother, she wouldn't have appeared at the final moment to help him.

“He's dead?”

“The Dean is dead…”

“The Dean is dead!”

Cheers echoed through the hospital.

–The gloom that had shrouded the hospital finally dissipated.

The shackles binding the medical staff's feet automatically loosened, and they breathed the air of freedom for the first time.

In the treatment room on the second floor, all the patients were huddled by the windows.

Each of them had fluffy faces, resembling adorable little furry creatures.
They seemed unaware of why the doctors were so excited.

Gu Yi's bone-cleansing knife gradually transformed into white light and dissipated, and he found himself back in the room filled with the scent of blood.

Images of his successful progress flashed before Gu Yi's eyes, accompanied by the system's notification sound.

“Congratulations, adventurer, for achieving conditions for perfect custom clearance.”

“Your plot exploration rate is 99%.”

“All the Weird events related to Chongshan Hospital will no longer occur in your reality.”

“Your mental power limit has increased to 60/60.”

“You can choose one of the following options as your completion reward.”

“1.
Mental Shelter: The mental trauma you experience during deductions will no longer affect you.”

“2.
Energized: Your mental power limit increases by 50 points.”

“3.
Flash of Inspiration: Your inspiration ability increases by 50%, and your resistance to mental trauma increases by 50%.”

Hearing the system prompts, Gu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat down on the ground, almost collapsing.

Instead of rushing to choose a reward, he engaged in a conversation with the system.

“System, can I have a conversation with people in the real world?”

“No, you cannot.”

“Really heartless.”

Gu Yi looked at the three options and pondered carefully.

Energized was the option Gu Yi initially ruled out.

Most of the time, he didn't need such high-intensity deductions.
As he became more familiar with the rules, multiple deductions became less crucial.

Moreover, he possessed the ability to backtrack, which greatly increased the efficiency of his mental power usage.

If option 2 included an increase in the speed of mental power recovery, it would have been more appealing to him.

The first option was an excellent attribute.

If Gu Yi could deduct without being affected by mental trauma, he wouldn't transform into a monster as quickly, and negative effects like a decrease in mental power limit wouldn't occur as they did in this dungeon.

The third option was also very enticing.

Most dungeons involved strong mental contamination, and an increased resistance to mental trauma can greatly increase one's tolerance for errors.
While ‘flash of inspiration’ was a double-edged sword, it could be a good thing if used correctly.

“Which one should I choose?”
