Chapter 85 Rei Brown, the fence-sitter

Fishing is an art, and the most important thing is to proceed step by step.

Jin Yi had discovered long ago that Belial's emotions were unstable, like a capricious tyrant. When he heard certain words, no matter how peaceful the conversation had been before, he would fall into an indescribable rage and be dominated by destructive desires.

Jin Yi needed to choose the right words to both thoroughly enrage Belial, leaving him no time to care about anything else, and to attract the attention of Reiblood's remnant soul, throwing out the final and most tempting bait—freedom.

Jin Yi's sarcasm successfully enraged Belial, and also caught the attention of Reiblood's remnant soul. He was also dissatisfied with Jin Yi's remarks, after all, it was a challenge to the authority of the former emperor, but he did not lose his mind like Belial, because the conflict between Reiblood and Boss Jin was not deep.

Therefore, Jin Yi's subsequent conversation with Jing Long, seemingly about exorcising demons, was actually meant for Reiblood's remnant soul. The latter was well aware of this, and the relief of his headache was his response to Jin Yi.

Unbeknownst to Belial, the remnant soul of Reiblood within him and Jin Yi outside his body silently reached an agreement, waiting for their opportunity to arrive.

Next came the three questions raised by Boss Jin.

The first question: The Land of Light.

As the bell tolled, Reiblood's remnant soul began to accumulate power within Belial's body.

Second question, Mary.

Yuanliya's mind began to race, causing him to subconsciously ignore the subtle movements of the remnant soul of Reshirando within his body.

The fourth question: Jin Yi directly called Rei Browno by his name, the time to make a move has come!

Reiblood's remnant soul successfully restrained Belial's movements. Belial's unerring chain lightning was deflected, and his agile movements became sluggish. The Specia life form successfully struck Belial's body, which will be Reiblood's new home after his escape!

Everything proceeded as expected, but the remnant soul of Reiblood within Belial seemed to have gone silent!

What's going on?

Jin Yi, shrouded in mist, began to feel anxious. His previous communication with Reiblood had been a one-way transmission of information, which was not conducive to cooperation. Therefore, during the raid on Belial, he inserted a card into one of the Sphia life forms.

[Ilud Spiritual Connection]

This card allows the two to communicate without barriers, bypassing Belial.

Now, Jin Yi, through this invisible telephone line, shouted to the other end, "Rebroil, Rebroil!"

"—I am the Dark Emperor who once ruled the entire universe, and now I rise from the abyss of darkness—"

"Stop fucking talking nonsense, Reiblood!"

Jin Yi immediately covered his face. What kind of time is this? Reiblood's remnant soul is still acting like an emperor?!

"Can you hear me?! Hurry up and do it!"

"It seemed like someone on the other end of the phone choked for a moment, and after a brief silence, they continued to speak."

"You should at least show some respect to me, kid."

"What kind of time is this to be bothered by this?! What's going on on your end?"

Jin Yi asked anxiously, his tone extremely anxious, as the escape of Reiblood's remnant soul directly affected the success or failure of the plan.

"You should have figured it out, kid."

Reiblood's remnant soul's voice carried a sense of helplessness: "Didn't you notice that Belial's actions have stalled? My actions inside him just now were merely a surprise attack. Once he shifts his focus to me, it's only a matter of time before the riot I started is suppressed."

Indeed, after Reiblood and Jin Yi's cooperative relationship was exposed, Belial focused all his attention on fighting against the rebellious soul within him.

After all, the monster-type cards used by Jin Yi outside are based on technology from Belial himself. He is also very familiar with the types of cards Jin Yi controls. Littlemarus, Gadi—these small fry pose no threat at all.

Reiblood's remnant soul had previously tried to rebel against Belial's consciousness, but each attempt ended in failure. Eventually, he simply gave up on this futile effort and remained docile for ten thousand years.

This adventure is nothing more than a replay of events from ten thousand years ago. Belial should calm down and fight against Reiblood's remnant soul; the battle will end soon.

This argument is very convincing, but—it's very difficult for two people connected by Mindlink to hide their true feelings.

Besides Belial's strength being truly difficult to resist, there is another reason.

"—Reiblood? What time is it? You're still thinking about playing both sides!"

An awkward silence followed on the other end of the phone line. Reiblood's consciousness, like a slippery eel, dodged and weaved under Jin Yi's questioning.

"I...I am just..."

The voice of the remnant soul suddenly became erratic, like a radio with a poor signal.

Jin Yi finally managed to suppress the swear words he was about to unleash. He already knew the reason for Ray Brown's difficult childbirth through that invisible telephone line.

Rei Brown lacks confidence in Kim.

Having been pinned down by Belial for millennia, Reiblood naturally wanted to rebel, but subconsciously, he believed that the one who could help him escape his predicament was a powerful being, not a tiny life form like a human.

Although this human had previously performed feats that even Reiblood had taken notice of, ultimately—the difference in strength between humans and Belial was too great, and he dared not bet everything.

Since the resistance failed, Reiblood's remnant soul would only continue to sleep in the abyss of consciousness. Reiblood was also one of Belial's sources of power, and the two were too entangled. Unless Reiblood left on his own initiative, Belial could not harm Reiblood's remnant soul except through suppression.

However, if one voluntarily detaches from Belial's body, it would be a blatant act of betrayal, a dead end with no turning back, a path one can only follow to the bitter end.

Freedom is precious, but life is more valuable.

So—before Jin Yi pulled out a stronger bargaining chip, he only put in seven-tenths of his effort, acting as a half-actor.

But this little scheme of hers was completely exposed by the [Mental Link].

"7

Jin Yi's face twisted in a rare way. He remained silent for only a moment before he could no longer hold back and pressed the invisible thread connecting their thoughts against his heart.

"Confidence? Reibrando! Let me show you what confidence really is!"

In an instant, a surge of emotions, like a tidal wave, poured out through the narrow channels. Even though Reiblood had devoted most of his strength to fighting Belial's suppression, this overwhelming confidence still invigorated Reiblood's spirit.

Could this kid really have some unused trump cards up his sleeve?

Immediately afterwards, Jin Yi's angry curses exploded in the mental connection from the other end of the telephone line!

"You're blinded by petty gains and forget righteousness, hesitant to act when faced with great opportunities. The chance is right here, yet you hesitate?! How can you be so indecisive?!"

"Reiblood! Where has your ambition and dominance that once filled the universe ten thousand years ago gone? Or have you truly become a useless little goldfish?!"

Due to the corrosive acid fumes and his agitated emotions, Boss Jin coughed for a while after speaking. But then, a card appeared at his fingertips, depicting a black and white half-length portrait of the demon goddess Aenemina. Jin Yi picked up the phone again: "I'll distract Belial and create one last chance for you, you bastard—if you can't even seize this, you might as well go home and drink your milk—Reiblood!"
