Chapter 142 Chapter 142 "This is what you told me...
"Is this the secret book of mind reading in the library that you told me about? What's the difference between this thing and ordinary mind reading? Does it have to be hidden here? It took you so long to find it!" Changsheng frowned as he flipped through the book and asked Bookworm a puzzled question.
The bookworm coughed twice and explained, "That's why you don't know! This is not ordinary mind reading. With ordinary mind reading, you can't read someone with a higher level than you. But this thing is not only extremely concealed, but it can also cross levels! Do you think it needs to be hidden?"
"It's just this benefit, nothing more than that." Changsheng had seen a lot of good things when he was wandering around the Demon Island, so he didn't take this seriously. He flipped it over twice and prepared to put it back.
Although this is indeed a good thing, it does not arouse his interest. After all, he has no interest in reading other people's minds.
"Don't be in a hurry to let it go!" The insect shouted loudly, "It's not just these two advantages. This thing actually recognizes its owner. If it thinks you can learn, you can learn it in the blink of an eye. If it thinks you can't learn, you can't do anything even if you hold it for a hundred or a thousand years!"
"Really? I don't feel it." Changsheng looked at the thing over and over again, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'm not suitable for learning this, so I'd better put it back!"
He shook his head as he spoke. Worried that he would really return it, the bug shouted, "How do you know if you don't even try? You can't test it this way! You have to stick something in there!"
"Okay," Changsheng said, feeling a little bored while trying. He stood beside the bookshelf, looked at the open window not far away, squinted his eyes, and said as if sighing, "But what's the point of learning this? To read other people's minds? Whose mind?"
"Just read the one you care about the most!" the bug urged.
"But his cultivation is much higher than mine. Can I really read it without being discovered by him?" Changsheng asked with a frown.
"Of course! This kind of thing is specially designed to deal with those with high cultivation!" The bookworm was very excited.
"Could what I heard be true?" Changsheng asked with some melancholy.
"Why don't you go out and try it! Find some people to play cards with you, see what they are going to play, and then see what they play. If they are the same, then it's a success." Chongzi immediately began to give solutions.
Changsheng thought it made sense when he heard it. After learning it, he hesitated and went out, found an empty table, sat down, and started inviting people around him to play cards together.
No one noticed anything wrong at first, but later they found that he seemed to be cheating, so they started checking him. They didn't find any cheating items on him, so they concluded that he was using some other method.
"No more playing, no more playing, this is boring! How can we keep losing and keep giving you money?" People shook their heads and stood up to leave.
At this time, Changsheng had confirmed that the mind-reading ability he had obtained was real. He smiled at everyone, apologized and returned the money he had just won to them: "I was just playing around, don't take it to heart."
Everyone was very happy after receiving the money, and waved their hands to show that they let bygones be bygones: "Why would we bother with you? It's fine, we'll leave first!"
Changsheng nodded, and they walked out. Seeing that they had almost left, Changsheng immediately packed up his things, went out in the blink of an eye, and found Li Baili.
"Is there anything wrong?" Li Baili was a little confused.
Changsheng used his mind-reading skills quietly while confirming with the bug: "We really won't be discovered, right?"
Chongzi was also a little trembling in front of Li Baili, a kind of nervousness caused by the suppression of the higher-level cultivation. When he heard the question, he explained: "Don't worry, it will never happen, unless he specifically checks you, but he can't check you as soon as he meets you, right?
The reason why this skill is not easy to be discovered is that it is a passive skill. There are always energy fluctuations, and a rough scan will only make people think that you are doing something that consumes energy.
I won't suspect you're reading my mind, but you don't have to look too weird, or else, even if I can't confirm it, I'm sure there's something fishy going on."
After getting the answer, Changsheng felt relieved. He looked at Li Baili and smiled and asked, "I wanted to come and see what you were doing. I wonder if there's anything I can do to help you."
"There's nothing I can help you with," Li Baili waved at him, "If you want to stay, then stay. Find a seat for yourself and don't get in the way."
Changsheng took two steps to the side, still looking at Li Baili. He wanted to say something else, but he heard Li Hanshuang's voice not far away: "Come here!"
Li Baili said to Changsheng, "Then you wait here for me. Don't go over if I don't call you, so as not to affect things."
Changsheng nodded.
Li Baili turned and walked away while thinking: He looks really nervous today, a little strange.
Changsheng was suddenly startled, thinking that he had been discovered. Li Baili had already walked far away. Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and quietly approached that side, but did not cross the middle line. He just stayed there, wanting to know what was happening over there.
He kept close to them while muttering quietly, "This shouldn't affect anything, right? I didn't touch anything over there, and I wasn't talking around them."
After saying that, he didn't move or make any sound. He even tried to hold his breath, as if there was really no one here. The whole room was extremely quiet.
Only the open window allowed a little sunlight from outside to shine onto the floor, making the wooden floor look golden and giving a warm feeling.
Changsheng almost fell asleep in this peaceful atmosphere, but his mind-reading ability suddenly came into play.
Li Hanshuang pointed at the pot and said to Li Baihe, "This thing doesn't look right. It looks like there's something nearby. How about you look for it?"
Li Baili nodded: "I found new black energy in Changsheng's body before, but not as much as at the beginning. I suspect there are some that I haven't discovered and are still hidden there."
"Then we should check it again." Li Hanshuang said calmly.
"I understand." Li Baili nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly she stopped and turned around, looking at him and said, "I've checked it once before, and I'm afraid it will be the same if I check it again. Why don't you go? You are stronger than me, you should be able to check out something different."
Li Hanshuang frowned and thought for a while: "Will he agree?"
Li Baili laughed with an ambiguous tone.
Li Hanshuang looked at him and asked, "Will you stay here to watch over the pot for me, or come with me?"
Li Baili blinked and said, "Let's go together."
Li Hanshuang nodded, stood up and walked with him to the next room. Changsheng was there. Hearing their footsteps, he quickly walked away from where he was just now, pretending that he had not done anything.
The distance between the two rooms was really close. Li Hanshuang could be sure that he was moving, but he couldn't figure out why he was doing that. He was a little confused, but not very interested. After thinking about it, he gave up.
Changsheng saw that Li Hanshuang was a little scared, but at the same time Li Baili was right next to him, so he took a deep breath and immediately calmed down.
Li Hanshuang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised but not weird, and asked him: "Do you know what we are here for?" You don't look like you know nothing.
"No!" Changsheng laughed quickly, looking very well behaved, and waved his hand and said, "How would I know?"
He put his hands down, lowered his head and said, "I don't know, you didn't tell me."
Li Baihe put her hand on Li Hanshuang's shoulder: "It's fine if he doesn't like to talk, why bother so much? He seems to be very idle. Your pot is still there, don't waste your time."
Li Hanshuang nodded: I understand, I understand.
Li Baili withdrew her hand.
Li Hanshuang said to Changsheng: "I want to check your condition. You don't mind, right?"
"Why are you checking again at this time? I remember I checked it today and yesterday! How many times do you need to check it?" Changsheng looked around, a little confused and puzzled, and asked in a low voice.
Li Hanshuang thought for a moment and replied, "Until you get better." Until the cracks on the seashore no longer emit black air, or until someone dies.
No matter whether Changsheng or Li Baili dies, as long as the black energy has been completely absorbed by them and cannot get out, killing them may be a way to solve the problem of the black energy.
Although this is just a concept now, it is better to have a way than not to have one. If this way really doesn't work, we won't know until we try it.
It's too early to talk about other things now.
Li Hanshuang sighed slightly: "Are you willing or not?"
If it were any other time, Changsheng would have thought that he was impatient, but after hearing part of his inner voice just now, Changsheng no longer thought so. Changsheng felt that this sigh was a sign of emotion, and the reason why he only heard part of his inner voice and not all of it was because Li Hanshuang was too strong.
Chongzi has already explained it, and Changsheng doesn't think it's a big deal. He didn't expect to get anything special from this, so it would be good enough to get something at all.
His very calm attitude made the bug feel relieved.
But he thought to himself: I have heard of cracks on the seashore before, so it is not surprising that there are any things there, and it is certain that there are dangers, but how can there be death? Who died?
If they wanted me dead, they wouldn't have to go through all that trouble, examining me again and again, giving me medicine, or even taking my blood. Who was the person who was going to die? Someone I knew or someone I didn't know?
Is it related to me or not? Can I know? If they don't tell me, I shouldn't know. I should ask.
"I do," Changsheng smiled and asked casually, "Is anyone dying recently?"
"No, don't think too much!" Li Hanshuang said without hesitation.
