Chapter 202: True or False?

Chapter 202: Real? Fake?

"What has happened to Senior Brother Li?"

"I don't know either, he was just fine a moment ago, how did he become bewitched just from reading a book?"

"Junior Sister Bai, why don't you go check? Hasn't he fallen ill again?"

Urged by the others, Bai Lingmiao walked over, her voice filled with unease as she cautiously asked Li Huowang, who was squatting on the ground: "Senior Brother Li, are you.... alright?"

She stole a glance and saw rows of characters before Li Huowang, which he had been staring at continuously.

Since Bai Lingmiao could not read, she did not know what was written, but judging by his appearance, those characters must be very important to him.

Seeing he did not respond to her, Bai Lingmiao thought for a moment, took down the whip tucked at her waist used for drumming, pressed it against the book beside Li Huowang, and with a forceful flick, pushed the book flying far away.

"Just now, Senior Brother Li became like this after reading this book, perhaps this book is unlucky."

After doing this, Bai Lingmiao continued to ask: "Senior Brother Li, are you alright?"

Li Huowang, usually sharp in perception, could not hear what others were saying at all at this moment. He was fully focused on staring at the few lines of characters he had listed on the ground.

I am Peng Zhi, one of the Three Corpses of a certain existence. (False)

I am Hong Zhong, one of the Great Three Yuan of the Zuowang Dao, the Zuowang Dao deceived me before, I instructed them to do this. (False)

The people who died in that dead town were killed by me. (False)

One of the high-level members of the Zuowang Dao is also a Heart Soul, he lived for one hundred and ninety years, completely free from hallucinations. (?)

Li Huowang looked at the fourth line, various possibilities swirling in his mind. "Could this be true?"

Since others all want Heart Souls, there must be value, they can use it, why can't the Heart Soul itself utilize it?

Inferring from the suddenly acquired new ability, the potential of the Heart Soul might be far greater than he imagined.

"If there truly is a way, that means my illness can be cured! I can become a normal person, no, I might even be able to completely control this power, if that happens, no one will dare to deceive or harm me again!"

Thinking to this exciting point, Li Huowang felt his body filled with strength, even his consistently gloomy mood became stirred with passion at this moment.

But gradually, Li Huowang calmed down, all of this had a major premise, that was when the Zuowang Dao said this words initially, it was the truth.

Judging from past dealings with the Zuowang Dao, this was truly a bit uncertain.

Li Huowang did not know what probability this last line had of being true, but even if it was only ten percent, for him now, it was full of temptation.

He was too desperate.

Not only to gain stronger abilities, this also represented escaping hardship.

Changing unpredictably between hallucination and reality was too torturous, the feeling experienced before that was more painful than death, Li Huowang really did not want to try it again.

"Not now, after escaping Later Shu, I might try to collect information on this aspect, advancing step by step, distinguishing rationally."

"I must be cautious now, cannot rashly believe any words of the Zuowang Dao, regardless of true or false, walk step by step, all matters based on reality."

After carefully organizing his thoughts, Li Huowang stood up, immediately he saw the others were all in the distance, looking at him with strange expressions.

"Why are you all looking at me? Do I have characters on my face?"

"No, nothing, nothing." Yang Xiaohai lifted the large iron pot to carry on his back, Gao Zhijian's large hand reached over and lifted it up in one grab.

The others also began packing their luggage, making a appearance of preparing to depart.

Li Huowang looked left and right, picked up the "Classic of Deception" from the distance and stuffed it into his bosom, then prepared to continue walking.

But just at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind. "Wait! Could those two swindlers also be people of the Zuowang Dao? Are they planning to deceive me again?"

"No, I must go back once."

Li Huowang, with a gloomy face, immediately took out the "Classic of Deception" from his bosom, threw it on the ground, and without stopping walked towards that Flat-topped Mountain.

This scene left the others unable to react, what exactly was happening, for a moment everyone fell silent.

"I will go watch over him, lest he falls ill halfway." Chun Xiaoman finished speaking, immediately lifted her sword and followed over.

The remaining others waited, for two hours, when the day was about to darken, they saw Li Huowang finally come down from the Flat-topped Mountain again, while Chun Xiaoman followed behind with an expression of pity on her face.

Li Huowang's expression was obviously much better than when he went up the mountain, as if he had breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"What happened? What occurred?" Gou Wa ran to Chun Xiaoman's side and asked in a low voice, "Those two swindlers were too miserable, ai.. truly too miserable, just deceiving people, the crime did not deserve death."

"Why did Senior Brother Li want to do this?"

Chun Xiaoman hesitated to speak, as if she did not know how to explain. "He.... wanted to see, how many faces those two people had, evidently they only had one."

"Hiss~" Gou Wa instantly felt his scalp go numb.

"Stop chatting, while the sky is not yet dark, let us hurry on the journey, do not forget we are still being hunted now."

Li Huowang's words made the two hasten their steps to catch up, tacitly not discussing what happened on the Flat-topped Mountain again.

Just at this time, when the others were just preparing to set out again, another unexpected incident occurred.

"Li..... Senior Brother Li, what is wrong with you? Are you still alright?"

Li Huowang however held his head with both hands, his expression extremely ugly. "Chains... chains! Quickly tie me up! It is coming!"

"Senior Brother Li, there are no chains! They are all on the carriage!"

"Quickly dig a pit! Dig a pit and bury me, quickly! Absolutely do not let me run around wildly!"

Before their pit was dug well, Li Huowang had already returned to the ward filled with disinfectant water again.

Standing before him was a person, a youth wearing a white coat and glasses.

The white coat smiled slightly, using his hand to push his glasses. "Li Huowang? You are awake? Let me introduce myself, I am your attending physician. My surname is Hou."

"How do you feel now, compared to before, the time spent awake seems a bit less."

Li Huowang looked left and right, opened his mouth and asked: "Where is my mother?"

Doctor Hou's face revealed a warm smile, speaking to Li Huowang with a kind expression: "Your mother has matters to go out and handle. She was here just a few minutes ago, it is just you happened not to be awake."

"Student Li Huowang, if you truly care about your mother, then you must cooperate with my treatment, heal as soon as possible, only then can you repay everything she has done for you with all her heart."

"Let us chat, I know you think this side is hallucination, no matter, then let us chat about how that real world of yours is?"

"Recently it seems many... special things have been discovered over there."
