Chapter 725: Fraudster
In that world of absolute interpretation.
Li Muhan once saw a scene that surprised him greatly.
Above the ruins of Luoyun City covered with yellow sand.
When a young man faced the attack of three annihilation-level aliens, he used the power of his realm to control one of the rift creatures and let it fight with the other two creatures.
It was because of this that he was able to hold on until he was rescued.
And behind him there is a humanoid rift creature.
Just when Li Muhan was about to kill him, the boy begged Li Muhan.
"She's not a monster! She's not, she's my companion, please, don't kill her!"
Li Muhan discovered that the rift creature had no desire to attack.
He just stared blankly ahead.
"She's resisting... resisting the orders that the tree gave to all creatures in the rift. She doesn't want to hurt me."
In the protected area.
Li Muhan began to ask the boy about his occupation.
"My name is Chu He... Thank you for saving me."
A deck of cards slowly appeared in his hand, and even though his face was exhausted, he forced a smile.
"... Let's play a game. Guess my occupation and I'll guess yours."
Then, Li Muhan was tricked into revealing almost all of his information by this young man using his ingenious means and the power of the realm.
"This is my power..." The boy smiled bitterly and threw the cards into the air: "I am a liar and a trickster. Even the creatures of the rift cannot hide from me."
"Actually, I wanted to abandon her a long time ago."
"She's just a burden, she always was, and she eats a lot."
"We were already very poor, and we really liked eating mochi balls."
"...Why am I still carrying her? Well, maybe because if I'm in danger again, I can push her out and escape on my own."
But in the end, the fraudster failed to deceive himself.
He died at the hands of a calamity-level rift creature in order to protect the girl with the dull eyes.
Li Muhan still remembered that when he arrived, the boy named Chu He and the girl named Shu Ying were hugging each other.
The girl seemed to remember everything at the last moment of her life. She was powerless to stop it and just turned around and looked at Li Muhan.
"They...are telling me to go home...but my home..."
Shuying burst into tears and held Chu He tightly in her arms: "My home...is gone..."
Her body slowly dissipated and eventually turned into dust no different from the yellow sand.
"Are you sure? I've never received such a commission."
In that shabby office.
Chu He stared at Li Muhan. The words spoken by the young man in front of him gave him a feeling of madness, but his eyes seemed to tell Chu He that he still had his sanity.
"here......"
Li Muhan pointed at his head.
"And here." He pointed to his chest again.
“It has been stuffed with too much mess, but not everything is twisted. Here is my love and everything I cherish.”
He placed his hands on his chest and patted it gently.
"If you want to save them, this is the only way. You can do it, right, Trickster?"
Chu He frowned and finally sat back in his chair.
"I can see that you are a lunatic. Your name is Li Muhan, right? I don't know where you heard of me, but I can help you with this."
Hearing that the other party was willing to help, Li Muhan's expression softened a little.
"Will this not cause me any trouble?"
“No, I’m with a dead person now. No, I’m even worse than a dead person. No one will bother you.”
Chu He nodded.
"Okay, then, before we begin, I'd like to tell you a few things. If you're okay with that, we'll get started right away."
......
Inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
What Elias saw in Li Muhan's eyes was endless hatred and pain.
He seemed to understand something.
"I..." The man's lips opened slightly: "I don't know what you saw... But don't you want to believe me, Li Muhan? I am Xia Liya's father. You should have heard of me from her."
"Shalia trusts me more than Xia Grace, so you..."
"Yes, I trust you even more. The image of a good father you created for all this is truly magnificent. You let a poor child wander this world for thousands of years just to chase the shadow you left behind, and then at some point in the future, you'll personally end her life!?"
"What on earth are you talking about..."
"I forgot...you also said something at that time. You said: If it weren't for you, it would be great, my poor daughter."
Li Muhan covered his face with his hands and his body trembled with laughter.
"You are such a pathetic brute, Elias."
Elias said no more, and a pale white moonlight began to emanate from his surroundings.
"I won't let you leave here, Li Muhan."
But the next second, all the demons were already standing on the stage, and without exception, they all came to Li Muhan's side.
"Is this your confidence? You don't think that relying on these things, you can..."
"No, Elias."
Li Muhan seemed to have laughed enough. He slowly straightened up, with a hint of madness in his voice.
"I've staked everything I have on putting on a great show for you. Now, this is your audience, but it will also become your prison, and eventually, your grave."
He slowly raised his hand and pointed his index finger at his head.
"The time has come, Elias. May your end come, but for now... I must say goodbye."
"Bang--"
Li Muhan's pupils suddenly dilated and the smile on his face became extremely crazy.
Then his body began to fall slowly backwards, in the last moment of falling.
He seemed to see Baal watching him.
"Go forward...we are behind you."
......
"Oh my God." Chu He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"What on earth is going on in this kid's head?"
He turned to look at Rhea.
"Isn't he a mental patient?"
Leia smiled and replied, "No, he's just a poor man who's been fooled by this 'world' time and time again. So, did you succeed, Mr. Chu?"
Chu He nodded.
"Of course, don't you see who I am? I'm the all-powerful detective!"
[To be honest, I just looked at this gentleman's computer. Besides some pornographic materials, the only cases he has handled are two cases of infidelity. I don't want to admit that he is my colleague.]
Leia couldn't help but smile, and then she slowly walked to Li Muhan's side.
"Can he wake up now?"
"Anytime." Chu He raised his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Li Muhan.
Li Muhan suddenly opened his eyes, and then his hands involuntarily pressed on his chest.
there is none left......
Demonic clairvoyance, demonic vision, enhanced physical strength, and...
Hall of Ten Thousand Demons.
All gone.
"Look at me and listen to me."
Chu He snapped his fingers again, attracting Li Muhan's attention: "Do you remember what I just told you?"
"Well... this kind of fraud is irreversible. As time goes by, the power of this fraud will become stronger and stronger, and in half a year, it will devour me..."
"Memory." Chu He nodded.
"During these six months, you will gradually forget everything, until in the end, you will forget that you were once called...what was your name?"
"Li Muhan."
"Yes, you will forget that your name is Li Muhan."
Li Muhan nodded, then stood up and took a small box from Leia's hand.
"This is your reward. It should be enough to tide you over the current difficulties."
Chu He quickly took the box.
His eyes widened immediately after seeing a stack of money inside.
"Hey! Boss! You're serious! Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Li Muhan smiled and waved, then walked towards the door.
"Shuying! Hurry up and see the two bosses off!"
The girl was still eating mochi balls. When she heard Chu He's voice, she quickly put down the box and ran to the door to open it for them.
"Thank you... um..."
Li Muhan's next words remained on his lips for a long time.
"Um... Anyway, thank you. Bye."
In the end, he couldn't remember the girl's name.
After closing the door and seeing the two off, the girl trotted to the desk again. Looking at Chu He, who was happily holding the box, the girl felt a little confused.
"boss!"
"Oh my god! Keep your voice down! What are you doing?!"
"Boss! Those two people just now! They are good people!"
"You can't tell the difference between good guys and bad guys, get out of here and go play somewhere else."
"Then...Boss, why did you lie to that person just now?"
The girl scratched her head: "You say, you say..."
"Hey, what the hell, I'm a con man, so what if I lied to him?!"
“…Boss, you are not a good person.”
