But at that moment, I couldn't control my emotions at all, let alone decide whether to trust him. All I could think about was killing the dark figure in front of me. However, his movements and strength were exactly the same as mine, making it impossible for me to kill him by any means.
"Am I only left with the option of suicide?!" I thought, raising Jiang Ling and slowly pointing the tip of the sword at my neck, intending to stab it into my own throat.
Just as I made this move, the shadow mirrored my actions. To my shock, a human face emerged from its previously dark visage; it was the Monster Face I had just eliminated, now more grotesque and parasitic upon the shadow.
The face retained its earlier expression, grinning at me with a sinister smile. "No, no... he isn't my shadow!" I muttered to myself, but my voice still failed to reach my mind.
At that moment, a figure appeared silently beside me and without hesitation lunged toward the shadow ahead. From its silhouette, it resembled the Void Spirit I had seen earlier, but its speed was so great that I could hardly make out its features.
In an instant, it dashed in front of the shadow and unleashed a Black Light that cleaved the shadow in two.
Yet, the severed shadow did not vanish; instead, it reformed and returned to its original state. Seeing this, the figure resembling the Void Spirit turned around and struck at the shadow again...
This back-and-forth continued for dozens of times without any effect. The figure resembling the Void Spirit began to show signs of fatigue, its movements slowing down. Meanwhile, the shadow mimicked my actions—remaining still as long as I did, like a perfect reflection.
Suddenly, as if realizing something, the figure resembling the Void Spirit turned towards me and charged forward with lightning speed.
Seeing this, I tried to dodge but it was too late. It crouched low and thrust its hand into my abdomen. At that moment, I felt no pain; instead, I sensed a force continuously flowing into my body from outside.
In an instant, before I could react, the figure completely merged with me. Simultaneously, I felt the power of Hatred within me begin to wane as a voice echoed inside me: "Don't be afraid; I'm just the Void Spirit who was separated earlier. When I was battling that thing, I sensed your essence within it..."
The Void Spirit continued speaking to itself while suppressing the power of Hatred inside me completely. Although I didn't understand how he managed to do this, I gradually regained my conscious awareness.
Looking at the shadow before me, I thought, "If he carries my essence and combining that with what that voice said earlier—could this Onizuka be a completely different Death Apostle's Onizuka?!"
Hearing my thoughts, the Void Spirit replied: "I can indeed sense Onizuka's essence here. But why would there be traces of your essence among those guarding Onizuka? Could this be a Dream Mound?!"
“Dream Mound?” I asked, confused.
“If I’m not mistaken, this place should be similar to the dream you had before. Because we are currently in your dream, you can see me separating from within you. Also, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but you are gradually gaining control over ‘Hatred.’ Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to suppress the power of Hatred within you so easily…”
“Right now, it’s not about ‘Hatred’; we need to think about how to get out of here…” I said, feeling a bit anxious.
At that moment, the Void Spirit calmly explained to me, “No, actually you misunderstood; the two are related.”
“What’s the connection?!” I pressed eagerly.
“First, look at that shadow ahead…” After hearing this, I looked forward and saw the figure gradually fading, with the black parts slowly transforming into white.
“How could this happen?! Is it really related to the voice in my head? Should I trust it?!” I wondered aloud. The Void Spirit looked puzzled and asked, “What voice in your head?”
“Didn’t you hear it? There was a voice in my mind telling me to give up resisting and to trust it. At first, I didn’t believe it and kept fighting against it, which led to this situation…”
Upon hearing this, the Void Spirit seemed to understand. “That makes sense! This must be Dream Mound. It’s likely the easiest mound in Jiuzuka, yet also the most difficult…”
“What do you mean by that?!”
“Don’t dig too deep into it; just focus on breaking this mound for now!” The Void Spirit was becoming increasingly impatient.
I was already feeling anxious, and his impatience only heightened my agitation. I shouted at him, “I know I need to break it! But how am I supposed to do that against something like this?! Should I just keep fighting it?!”
“No need for that. What you need to do now is calm your mind as much as possible; otherwise, we might get trapped here forever…”
After hearing this, although I wanted to control my emotions desperately, having spent so long in this space had left me feeling completely restless inside.
Even so, I still made an effort to suppress my emotions, trying to calm myself down.
As I continued to push my feelings down, the dark figure before me gradually transformed into a pure white, blending seamlessly with the surrounding snowy space. The eerie smile on its face slowly softened, becoming gentle and warm.
"Thank you for trying to believe in me..." That voice echoed in my mind once more. This time, it no longer sounded hollow; it felt as if it were right beside me, bringing a sense of warmth.
"What... what is happening?!" I exclaimed in confusion, glancing around. At that moment, I realized I had regained my hearing and could clearly hear my own voice.
"This mound should be the Mound of Conflict..." Before the Void Spirit could finish, it was interrupted by the voice in my mind. It said, "Now, I will help you leave this place..."
As soon as the words left its mouth, I felt a sinking sensation, as if I were once again falling into a void. Everything around me turned pitch black...
At that moment, I took a deep breath and suddenly sat up from the ground. I saw Yao Long crouching beside me, looking at me with concern. A strong burning sensation surged in my chest...
