"Junior, are you sure this will be enough?"
Ioroi looked at Su Yuan in confusion as he followed him into the Musoujin Gorge.
"I believe, given how dangerous this situation is, we should bring more people..."
"Ioroi, I know your transformation and evasion techniques are top-notch. If anything goes wrong, just take and run," Su Yuan explained.
"If we bring too many people, it’ll only beco a burden and increase the risk of unnecessary casualties."
"Hmm... I can sense the aura of those little youkai Kichiboushi tanuki. They’re over this way..."
At the Musoujin Gorge, Ioroi led Su Yuan to a bushy thicket—only to find the broken remains of the three little youkai raccoons: Kichiboushi, Giichiro, and Tsukumo.
Even though Su Yuan had warned Momozou in advance based on his suspicions, an uncontrollable sorrow still spread across Momozou’s face.
"Kichiboushi, Giichiro, and Tsukumo... it’s my fault. It’s all my fault you died..."
"That white-haired fox is already dead. The one now... she’s not her anymore..."
"I’m not dead at all, you know~"
A voice dripping with seductive charm echoed out as the figure of Kitsune Saiguu appeared before them.
There was still blood and fur at the corner of her mouth.
She looked at Ioroi, sniffed the air with a pleased expression, and said:
"So, you’re actually a big tanuki, huh~"
"I just ate a few little tanuki, and they were barely satisfying. Now let try what a big tanuki tastes like!!!"
In the next mont, Kitsune Saiguu transford into a ghostly blur of a white fox, baring her bloody fangs as she lunged straight toward Ioroi!
"Ioroi, just like we planned—Kitsune Saiguu is yours to handle!" Su Yuan shouted.
"Got it," Ioroi nodded, then summoned his youkai tanuki arts and charged forward.
He clashed fiercely with Kitsune Saiguu, and the two quickly beca locked in a heated, evenly matched battle.
anwhile, Su Yuan raised his voice, shouting toward Kitsune Saiguu and the surrounding area:
"Dottore, I know you’re nearby—co out already, I have sothing to say to you!"
But there was no response from the surroundings...
Su Yuan furrowed his brow in confusion.
According to the intel written on his left palm, there was supposed to be a Dottore segnt hidden sowhere in the Musoujin Gorge...
"Hahaha, Su Yuan, Dottore told to let you know—he’ll be here very soon, so just wait a little longer!"
At that mont, even while locked in fierce battle with Ioroi, Kitsune Saiguu suddenly turned her head and spoke to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan nodded in realization—so Dottore wasn’t hiding here all along.
He had been observing the situation through Kitsune Saiguu’s eyes and was now making his way over.
A few minutes later, Dottore’s figure appeared.
Smiling, he spoke to Su Yuan:
"Su Yuan, I originally thought you’d bring a whole group of people here..."
"But to my surprise, it’s just you and Ioroi."
"Actually, if Ioroi hadn’t insisted on coming to confirm what happened to those little tanuki, I would’ve co here alone," Su Yuan replied.
"Alone?" Dottore showed a puzzled expression.
"As far as I know, Su Yuan, your combat abilities aren’t particularly strong, are they?"
"You ca here all by yourself—aren’t you afraid of running into danger, of facing sothing you can’t handle?"
"I’m not afraid, because the reason I ca this ti is to have a negotiation and make a deal with you..."
Su Yuan looked at Dottore and spoke:
"Dottore—or more precisely, this particular segnt of you—I want to negotiate and strike a deal with you."
"With this segnt of ?" Dottore raised an eyebrow, clearly puzzled.
"Yes. I know that Dottore has many segnts. While the senses and mories of each segnt are shared, they all possess their own individual consciousness. Each one is an independent entity..."
Su Yuan continued speaking:
"And I also know that you seem to be sowhat dissatisfied with Dottore’s control... You want to break free from it."
"Even though I don’t yet know exactly how to do it, if you’re willing, I’ll work with you to find a way—to help you completely break away from Dottore’s control and beco a truly independent being..."
"Su Yuan, don’t you think your words sound a little foolish?"
However, this segnt of Dottore responded with a smirk:
"You just said it yourself—since we are all segnts of Dottore, our senses and mories are connected..."
"And now, you’re openly trying to turn against him right in front of my face. Do you think the other segnts won’t know about this?"
Su Yuan was suddenly at a loss for words...
Right... what this Dottore segnt said actually made a lot of sense...
That ant there was no way Su Yuan could covertly turn one of the segnts against the others without anyone knowing...
"All of us—every Dottore segnt—have no dissenting thoughts, nor do we dare to have them."
"Because just one of the segnts, with a single thought, can erase any of the others."
"Su Yuan, I advise you to give up on this idea!"
"Though every segnt finds the others unpleasant and even has so internal conflicts..."
"There’s one line we all will never cross—and that’s betraying the na of Dottore!"
Su Yuan felt sothing was off... Could the intel have been wrong?
This Dottore segnt showed absolutely no intention of betrayal, and there was no chance of turning him...
However, the intel from the palm wasn’t exactly definitive either—it used vague terms like "seems to" and "try," nothing truly certain...
Or maybe, this particular segnt actually does harbor thoughts of betrayal, but can’t express them because of the shared perception network among Dottore’s segnts?
Still, no matter what the case is, this attempt at turning him clearly wasn’t going smoothly...
And at this rate, hadn’t he basically just delivered himself like a fat lamb straight into Dottore’s den?
In the next mont, a surge of powerful Eerie energy suddenly erupted from Dottore’s body...
Su Yuan thought to himself, I’m done for.
Against Dottore, who wielded Eerie power, there was no way he could be a match...
And because of his own decision, he hadn’t brought any Eerie-enhanced combat power with him either...
However, the Eerie-transford Dottore suddenly spoke:
"Su Yuan, I find your proposal... quite interesting."
"Only when one enters the state of Eerie state do all kinds of negative and mad thoughts flood the mind—this, to a certain extent, interferes with communication between the segnts..."
"In this state, when I talk to you, the content of our conversation won’t be fully known to the other segnts..."
"Even if so things that shouldn’t be discussed slip out and are known by the other segnts, we can just bla it on the effects of the Eerie state..."
"Now, let’s have a proper talk..."
