Control!

"I'm afraid that's the case."

"Damn, no wonder Qin Leng didn't react. He's probably laughing at us right now!" 009 gritted his teeth.

"That old fox actually pulled this trick on me!"

Nightmare fell into deep thought.

"If we've been standing still, then the problem must lie at the entrance to the next level."

"There must be a real entrance to the second level; the entrance we were looking for before might be fake."

The Snow Woman looked at the Nightmare, "How can you be so sure?"

Nightmare: "There's a saying that goes, 'There are no secrets that stay hidden forever,' and Qin Leng couldn't create a completely closed space."

"That's why there's that entrance outside. The ingenuity of the Nine Hells lies in the fact that its spatial structure is layered inside each other."

"He tore open the first layer of space in the main world, and then tore open the second layer of space within the first layer."

"And so on, layer upon layer, just like a matryoshka doll."

"The deeper the space, the closer it is to the Spirit World, but this also has a drawback. Since it is a layer torn out from this space, the entrance must also be within this layer."

"That's for sure."

"But we've walked through this space for so long, and explored all the places we were supposed to go, yet we've only found that one entrance. Why is that?"

009 turned to look at the portal behind him, the portal they had entered through, which was also the portal to the outside world.

He stepped inside, but instead of returning to the outside world, he arrived at the location of the second-level entrance he had visited before.

He entered the second entrance, and sure enough, he returned to the first entrance.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

"Wait, even the entrance door has been replaced? Does that mean we're all trapped here?"

Upon hearing this, the Insect Mother tried to tear open the space, but it was very difficult. It took her quite a while to barely tear open a door.

"Anyway, let's try to get out of here first."

Everyone nodded. Since they hadn't found a solution yet, leaving this place first and making plans later was not out of the question.

The group passed through the Insect Mother's door, but then, a bizarre scene unfolded once again!

After they passed through the Insect Mother's gate, they returned to Hell Space!

At that moment, an indescribable fear suddenly surged into my heart!

Arthur swallowed hard. "Wait, is there some mistake?"

The Insect Mother was also shocked. "I... I clearly chose the Cathedral of the Chaos Empire, how could this be..."

Now, even Nightmare's expression became somewhat unsettled. "Is that so...? Qin Leng didn't tell me the truth either..."

Upon hearing this, 009 grabbed Nightmare by the collar, "Now I can listen to your explanation slowly."

Nightmare gritted her teeth. "Qin Leng told me about his abilities before, but it seems... he's still holding back..."

"Although it's obvious, he said that's all there is to it!"

"The commander would never lie, much less deceive or mislead us, because he once used the Containment Object's power to implant a mental imprint on himself..."

"Correspondingly, we were also implanted with a mental imprint. I have that imprint on my body, and I have experienced that feeling, so I know that Qin Leng cannot hide it!"

009 frowned. "Then what do you mean by saying all this now?"

Nightmare's expression was extremely conflicted. "Although I don't want to admit it, I'm afraid we've all been deceived by Qin Leng..."

"Only we were implanted with the mind imprint; Qin Leng just put on a show for us. He fooled us all!"

"Come to think of it, that makes sense. No one outside of our sequence knew he was a demon. He had been deceiving everyone for a long time."

As a hero of humanity and the leader of the Nine-Tailed Fox, his power actually comes from the gods who created the monsters.

He claims to be eliminating heresy for humanity, but he himself is a heretic.

But apart from a few people who knew, most people were kept in the dark, and from that moment on, he had been deceiving everyone.

What's with all this talk about ideological imprinting, about no deception, about being completely honest? Isn't it all a joke?

"So everything you told us about Qin Leng before, was it all a lie?"

When questioned, Nightmare immediately retorted, "That couldn't possibly be fake, because those words were spoken with the Containment Object 'Truth Stone' as witness!"

Containment Object?

"Heh, is it an absolute judge of lies?" 009 sneered.

"Do you think I don't understand what I created myself? You are all too young. Apart from Absolute Trait, there is nothing absolute in this world!"

"There are at least eight or ten different types of polymorphisms related to lie detection, and the most interesting thing is that they all give different results. Isn't that funny?"

Leaving the nightmare behind, 009 turned to Arthur and said, "Try to destroy space. Since the Insect Mother's methods are useless, we can only rely on you... Arthur."

Arthur nodded, took out the energy sword from the back of his armor, and cleaved the space in front of him with a single strike!

He stepped out and entered the space first, but in the blink of an eye, Arthur was back in that space again.

"How could this be? Even the space that Absolute Sever and split open didn't work?"

This time, everyone was genuinely a little panicked, including 009. To be honest, they might have underestimated Qin Leng a bit!

Nightmare got up. "I don't think there's any point in trying anymore."

"The problem isn't with the space itself, but with Qin Leng constantly using his abilities. He's continuously manipulating space, constantly teleporting us back here."

"Even if we tear open space, he can still set up another spatial teleportation point on the other side."

"In other words... as long as he keeps releasing his power, we'll never be able to get out."

"This might be exactly what Qin Leng planned. Although he won't kill us, he can trap us here forever!!"

They really underestimated Qin Leng.

As a Forbidden Potion drug, a derivative of the Grim Reaper, and the only one in the spatial sequence with the ability to manipulate or play with space, how could his abilities be weak?

What 009 couldn't understand was, if Qin Leng was capable of doing this, why didn't he do it in the first place?

Isn't that strange?

Is it true, as the nightmare said, that the closer one gets to the Spirit World, the stronger Qin Leng's abilities become, so here he can control everything?

If that's the case, then wouldn't that mean Qin Leng was already waiting for them to arrive, or even deliberately let them in?

Sure enough, Nightmare was the mole!

009 clenched his fists, his face terrifying, "It feels like I'm being played like a puppet..."
