Jiang Cheng subconsciously looked towards Fatty, as if something was attracting him in the dark. He had once seen a handprint on Fatty's back, a handprint that perfectly matched his own.

Fatty had also said that he saw his own face on the road to the underworld. It was that version of himself who awakened him and prevented him from straying onto the path of no return.

"And... there's another me on him."

The Newspaper Man didn't answer, but his silence spoke volumes. Jiang Cheng's guess was correct. Wu had also mentioned to him that he sensed his aura on Fatty.

That should also be the power of a door. As a Deep Red, Fatty's door was the most mysterious, but Jiang Cheng had never seen the power of his door. Even more strange, a suspicious person like himself had never truly wanted to explore Fatty's door. He trusted him as much as he trusted himself.

Now it seemed that the initial suspicion, and the feigned indifference of keeping Fatty by his side, was more like a self-deceiving, clumsy act. He had never truly doubted him.

Their first meeting in the Nightmare Assault was so natural. Everything seemed to be engraved on the compass of fate. As they met in the nightmare, the gears of destiny turned, interlocking perfectly. Everything else seemed to have been rehearsed.

The more Jiang Cheng thought about it, the more alarmed he became. An invisible hand was manipulating his life. Every track he thought he was on had been designed long ago. He was like a train with no destination, no matter how fast he went, he was only traveling on a fixed track.

Who would have such power?

The Night Watchman, Deep Red, or the thing behind Lin Wan'er... Jiang Cheng felt it wasn't them. This was definitely not a power that could be controlled, at least not from the world he knew.

At this moment, Jiang Cheng no longer felt fear, but a strong sense of anger. He didn't like being manipulated, which made all his previous efforts and struggles seem like a joke.

Especially since this involved Fatty. This guy hiding behind the scenes was fooling them all!

"Who? Who did it?"

Sensing the strong killing intent in Jiang Cheng's tone, the Newspaper Man shook the newspaper in his hand, not answering immediately. It wasn't fear, but hesitation, because the truth was too heavy.

"It's you."

The Newspaper Man sighed softly. Through the screen, it felt like a pair of eyes were piercing through, staring at Jiang Cheng's face.

Jiang Cheng was stunned. Fatty, who had just recovered, couldn't help but lose his mind after hearing this answer. He had imagined that the final mastermind was the current chairman of the Night Watchman, or the old chairman of this bus, but he never thought that after all the twists and turns, he would receive such news.

"It's... me..." After a moment of absentmindedness, Jiang Cheng's expression turned sharp. "How could it be me? If it was me, why don't I have any memory of it? And... and why would I do this?"

The Newspaper Man seemed to expect Jiang Cheng's reaction. After a moment of silence, he simply said, "I can only say this much. Knowing too much is not good for you. Now... it's time for you to leave."

Jiang Cheng was only one step away from the truth, how could he give up? Instead of retreating, he advanced, walking firmly towards the Newspaper Man. A sigh came from behind the screen. This time, the screen didn't move away from Jiang Cheng, but moved towards him with a powerful pressure. A screen that wasn't very tall gave people a sense of suffocation like Mount Tai pressing down, but Jiang Cheng was not afraid at all. Just before the screen was about to crush him, a pale hand reached out from behind Jiang Cheng and held the screen back.

"Keep going."

The hand was actually pushing the screen back. Wu's voice sounded behind him. This was Jiang Cheng's greatest reliance.

The Newspaper Man was not inherently bad, and he had no intention of harming them, but he had to find out the truth today.

In the huge hall, a strange scene appeared. Screens formed in front of the Newspaper Man, and then crushed towards Jiang Cheng at an extremely fast speed. The terrifying power gradually increased. The closer Jiang Cheng got to the Newspaper Man, the slower his steps became, until a burst of snow-white sword light flashed.

The sword light overlapped, endless like waves, splitting countless screens in front of him. As the screens shattered like mirrors, a figure flashed out at an extremely fast speed, broke through the barrier of fragments, and rushed towards the Newspaper Man sitting on a chair behind the screen.

At this time, the Newspaper Man was still the same as when they first met, wearing a suit and using a newspaper to cover his face. The next second, Wu rose into the air and slashed down at the Newspaper Man's back with the flat of his blade.

As the newspaper fell off, the face under the newspaper was revealed, a pair of bloodshot eyes that wouldn't close in death, and a shattered face.

The lower half of his face was almost completely destroyed. The only remaining skeletal jaw was wide open, filled with golden gold. This scene was full of magnificence, bizarre, and frightening. It was difficult to describe in accurate words.

Even more surprising was that a boy was lying in the Newspaper Man's arms, or rather, hanging on him. His arms wrapped around his neck, his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth raised, and a happy smile on his face pressed against the other person's shoulder, as if he was having a satisfying dream.

This sudden scene caught Wu, who was maintaining his attack posture, off guard. This strike would naturally not kill the Newspaper Man, and he didn't intend to kill him, otherwise he wouldn't have used the back of the blade. But the boy was different. Wu could feel that he was just an ordinary person. Ten lives wouldn't be enough to withstand this blow.

In desperation, he immediately released the remaining force on the blade, barely avoiding the Newspaper Man's neck and passing dangerously over the boy's hair. But this not only made him lose the first move, but also exposed the flaw to the other party. The latter decisively seized the opportunity to get up and slapped Wu in the chest, sending him flying. The newspaper that had fallen from his hand had somehow wrapped around Wu's back, and in an instant became extremely large, like a huge net, swallowing Wu in one gulp.

Seeing this scene, Fatty jumped up and cursed the Newspaper Man for not having martial ethics, actually using a child as a shield. He knew that if Wu didn't care about the child, the one who would be lying down now would be the Newspaper Man.

And Wu was willing to give up this excellent opportunity for the sake of a child, not only for himself, but also for himself and the Doctor, after all, Wu could also feel his feelings for the boy.

During this period of getting along, Wu had changed, just like the Doctor at the beginning. Even if he didn't admit it, Fatty saw it all.
