"It just sounds that way—"
"Oh, are you trying to tell me that the topic can naturally lead to the answer to my previous question?"
"yes--"
“…”
Chu Shangli simply ignored her, turned his face to the screen, and continued to play the connect-the-dots game silently.
"Why aren't you looking at me? Aren't you afraid that if you don't look me in the eye, you won't be able to tell that I'm lying?"
"The truth is, I can't even detect your words right now. I might as well just find some games to relax. Maybe my brain's ability to think will improve a little bit."
"Because you just mentioned 'imperial figures' and then denied it. Both the Cheshire Cat and the Cheshire Cat's parents meet this condition - it is impossible for anyone else not to be an important figure and yet seem to have a close connection with the core of the empire."
Chu Moyin stood up and rested his elbows on the edge of the laptop.
"You experienced the same thing when you were talking to the Cheshire Cat just now—you couldn't see the Cheshire Cat's face, but the Cheshire Cat seemed to be able to understand all your movements."
Chu Shangli nodded——
Then he said "Oh" in sudden realization: "So, the Cheshire Cat's parents have always been like this with you..."
"That's right—the Cheshire Cat's parents have been talking to me this way all along. I've never even seen them. If I say I'm familiar with them, I'm very familiar with them—the way they speak, the way they sound… but the bad thing is, their voices are mechanical, fake, and I can't be sure if they're just pretending to be talking that way."
"In this situation, will you obey them?"
"Listen to me?" Chu Moyin laughed out loud: "How can I listen to me? I won't listen to them, and they don't need to listen to me - their personalities are very similar to Cheshire Cats. All they want is information -"
Chu Shangli almost asked whether Chu Moyin had installed the system——
But after relaxing a little, Chu Shangli's control over his mind was much stronger than before, and he quickly suppressed the urge to talk nonsense.
If you ask this question yourself, the entire plot will need to be reloaded.
I have already made up my mind to go in this direction for the time being, and it would be very unwise to reload the game at this time - or if I break the principle so quickly, I will definitely become addicted to playing with time later.
"I don't know their appearance or information at all. I tried many methods afterwards, but I couldn't find out their true identities. However, they kept telling me in a mysterious way that they were actually my acquaintances. After a certain period of time, I would definitely know their true identities-"
This is the same as the Cheshire Cat's attitude towards himself -
Chu Shangli suddenly had a new idea——
"Seeing your eyes light up, I can probably guess what you're thinking right now. You're wondering if the Cheshire Cat is actually her parents, disguised this way? She's deliberately pretending to be three people, but in reality, she's been the only one this whole time. The hidden high-ranking official in the empire is actually her, yet she's deliberately using all sorts of methods to trick people into thinking this is a family."
"Sometimes, I really want to not talk to you at all - it would be even better not to see you - just seeing you and saying a few words to you is like negating all my efforts - like I'm an idiot."
