Chapter 1062: Chapter 599: Are You the Bride Sacrificial Demon?

Shen Sui quickly shifted his gaze from Fairy Rose to An Hai lying on the bed.

An Hai’s current condition was extremely strange.

If we were to speak about his physical condition in this world, he should not be in a coma; he should be full of vitality. So the real problem lies within An Hai’s soul.

The Life Card Master’s projection in the Soul Card World essentially shares the same soul as the Life Card Master; only in different worlds, the soul’s expression varies, leading to vastly different experiences and memories in different worlds. At the instant of connection with the Dueling Device, the different aspects of the soul temporarily unify, allowing the Life Card Master in the real world to control entities in the Otherworld.

In a sense, even without relying on the Dueling Device, control over one’s Otherworld self is achievable.

However, such an operation is exceedingly difficult for ordinary people, especially in a real world lacking Extraordinary Power, making it utterly impossible to popularize this operation, hence the assistance with the Dueling Device.

From start to finish, the Life Card Master has only one soul; the entities active in various worlds are merely different expressions of the soul. Therefore, whether an entity in one of the worlds encounters an accident or even death, the impact on the soul is negligible. Hence, should the entity being controlled by the Life Card Master via the Dueling Device dies, it doesn’t cause the Life Card Master himself to perish.

However, since the entity connected to one’s soul has died, the Life Card Master cannot connect to the Soul Card World using the Dueling Device.

And An Hai’s current situation seems to be a fundamental soul issue.

Shen Sui was able to perceive his soul, which proves that An Hai is still alive.

But his soul is in an entirely static state. Such a state cannot occur in a normal world; as long as it is a normal soul, no matter how much it suppresses its soul’s fluctuations, there will always be some movement.

This feeling...

"Wow! It feels just like Hali’s soul feedback." Alice, standing by, mimicked Shen Sui in examining An Hai.

Shen Sui initially wanted to tease Alice for being a copycat, but hearing this, he was stunned.

"Like Hali’s soul feedback?" Shen Sui murmured to himself.

"Yes," Alice nodded, "When Hali is inside the Treasure Card, her soul is also in a completely static state."

Alice’s words indeed made a very absurd thought arise in Shen Sui’s mind:

Could it be that An Hai was imprinted as a card?

But upon closer thought, this idea might not be entirely impossible.

His Treasure Card Magic Guidebook had bestowed Alice with the ability to seal creatures as her familiars, so perhaps others possess similar capabilities.

And now, in the Beast Taming World, there indeed is such a similar ability!

Shen Sui vaguely recalled that due to the small workshop’s make, the game had numerous glitches during open testing.

One of the most egregious glitches allowed players to use the mechanism of capturing after defeat to capture the NPCs and even other players as their Spirit Pets.

Thus, in the game’s early days, there emerged a nationwide frenzy with a villainous playstyle: The Book of Maiden Contracts.

Defeating the genius maidens in the game, capturing them as one’s "Beasts." Although lacking a human-related nurturing system resulted in this playstyle having limited potential, the sheer satisfaction of completing collections and flaunting them online far outshone that of ordinary gameplay.

Of course, the production team could not possibly allow such a playstyle to exist in a Beast Taming game, so they quickly patched this glitch.

Naturally, rumors say that a member of the production team later made a game battling tamed maidens based on this playstyle. However, Shen Sui did not find traces of such a game and eventually abandoned the search, because in hindsight, such a game essentially resembled card recruitment games, albeit with a layer of violent conquest.

Games can have glitches, which are repairable.

But reality?

If this mechanism really appeared in this world, then you cannot exclude the possibility of someone exploiting this mechanism for wrongdoing.

Considering An Hai encountered trouble in the real world, it’s very likely the perpetrator has begun operating in the real world.

After all, compared to defeating Beast Taming Masters with powerful Spirit Pets here, it seems much easier to defeat opponents in the real world.

Shen Sui’s expression immediately turned solemn.

If the information provided by Tan Song is correct, the perpetrator likely defeated An Hai via dueling. In other words, their dueling prowess is not weak.

If that’s truly the case, then the situation in Lingnan might be more serious than Shen Sui imagined.

Shen Sui asked Fairy Rose, who belonged to An Hai, to calm down first and inquired about An Hai’s experiences before falling into a coma.

"It seems... Mo Suo is the true culprit." After listening to Fairy Rose’s description, Shen Sui said with furrowed brows.

An Hai fell into a coma soon after encountering Mo Suo. Hence, the sealing of An Hai’s soul also occurred at the same time.

True Divine Spirit Beasts also differ amongst themselves.

Mo Suo is categorized among the strongest of the True God Stage Spirit Beasts, and also among the smartest.

Shen Sui even begins to suspect whether some innocent person thought they could tame a super powerful Spirit Beast by contracting with Mo Suo, only to end up being replaced themselves.
