Chapter 696: Truth Behind Judgment

"What did you say?!" The man frowned, looking at Shen Ying, shocked. He chided her disbelievingly, "As a judge, how could you allow such a thing to happen? What if it affects all the planes? You might not be able to pay a price like that. I might not have been very pleased with your test results, but I never expected that you would not even have the slightest bit of consciousness as a judge. You're not fit at all to be a judge in this void. I can't believe I thought about-"

"Thought about taking over all of my powers as a judge?" Shen Ying narrowed her eyes and finished his sentence. "Or did you mean to say... You have a stronger inclination to kill me off right here and now in the name of justice?"

"..." The man stared blankly at her, eyes widening in shock. "What did you say?"

"I'm talking about your motive for coming here from the beginning." Shen Ying smiled, still looking quite nonchalant. Yet, everything she says seemed very purposeful. "When I said I was a judge, you did not deny my identity. You just kept emphasising that there could only be one judge. Yet, you could not even tell me why."

"Let me guess..." She scanned the man from head to toe and continued, "You can't tell me why because of one of two reasons. First, you really have no idea. Or second, you cannot tell me why. If you don't know, then everything that you said before was true. But if you're somebody who has to intentionally set so many stages of tests just to pass on the role to the next person, you can't also be someone who would jump to conclusions so easily. But you refused to let me leave... so it can only be the second reason: You can't tell me the reason!"

"..." His face began to turn green.

"Let me guess. Why can't you tell me?" Shen Ying continued to narrate her thoughts. "If you can't tell me the reason, you must be trying to hide something. But we're both judges. If all the managers in the void colluded together to fight us, they still would not be our match. Of course... we would only be each other's math! So that something you're hiding must relate to me! But before today, we have never met. We don't have anything personal against each other. You have no other reason to kill me, other than our common identity."

"..." The man lowered his gaze.

"That's why I'm bold enough to continue making my guess." Shen Ying's expression turned extremely serious. In a low voice, she said, "Whatever you said about there only being one judge might be real! But only you can sense that – I certainly cannot. I suddenly fell into a deep coma and realised that I was a judge. Then did you also realise that you were no longer a judge? Perhaps – and more likely – your powers all disappeared!"

"Shut up!" He glared at her all of a sudden. Panic flickered across his face.

But Shen Ying kept going. She emphasised on each word as she continued, "I'm afraid there was no test to begin with.From the beginning, you set your mind on killing me!" Then he would be the only judge left.

"Hmph!" He tutted, as if realising that there was no longer any need to pretend any further. Slowly, his expression turned hateful. "I really did belittle you! When did you begin to suspect me?"

Shen Ying lowered her gaze. "From the moment you tried to kill my men!" He really did hide his motives well. His only mistake was not hiding his killing intent toward Lonemoon and Chef. After that, it was difficult for Shen Ying's supicions not to be raised.

The man stared blankly at her, visibly shocked. "So you knew from the very beginning!" He closed his eyes. When he reopened them, he could no longer hide the murderous intent that filled his entire body. "Then now... How about we battle? Come, fight one round with me." At the cost of all the planes.
