Chapter 39
Lu Li has been captured by a monster!
Lu Li's second question... was a bit tricky.
What does "Which of you three is the strongest?" mean?
Does that mean they should have a competition?
That's right, that's what Lu Li meant.
If we're going to engage in involution, then let's make it as intense as possible!
Of course, they actually have another option.
That means possessing someone and starting to kill.
Then it's a contest to see who can kill everyone present first.
But a "rule" is a "rule".
The "rules" of urban legends are fixed.
Urban legends may evolve into more complete rules, but they will never violate the "rules".
The spirit will absolutely not act until all three questions are answered.
The same applies to the other two urban legends.
These are urban legends that Lu Li actively triggered.
So they won't actually hurt anyone, because that's just the second issue now.
Then there are only two possibilities.
Either they don't know the answer, and then they fight to see who wins.
They either give you the answer directly.
Even so, Lu Li wouldn't be afraid.
Because he still has one last question to use for the game-winning shot!
He waited quietly.
But he was disappointed.
The three urban legends remained silent for a moment, then moved simultaneously.
The Ouija board wrote "I".
The Chopsticks Fairy returned to the water bowl, then pointed towards the Ouija Board Fairy's pen.
The Ouija board covered an arrow drawn on the paper, which was pointing in the direction of the Ouija board.
Seemingly realizing that it wasn't pointing accurately, the Ouija board moved its pen slightly so that the arrow was pointing at itself.
Then it stood there straight, almost as if it were holding its head high and chest out.
Lu Li's eyes narrowed slightly.
It seems the second problem hasn't been solved.
Then the only option left is to use a last-ditch effort to finish the job.
He glanced at Pan Shuai, then at Xing Tian.
Seeing that they were all staring at him expectantly, Lu Li took a deep breath and asked the last question.
Where is my wife?
"..."
This question is a killer!
Does he have a wife?
This doesn't exist in this new worldview.
It didn't exist in the original world either.
But it exists in an upside-down world.
And there are two more.
What? Does getting a marriage certificate mean you're not my wife?
Therefore, this problem became the decisive one.
Because if the three spirits of the Ouija board say that Lu Li doesn't have a wife, then they are lying.
Lu Li could even pull out his marriage certificate on the spot to slap him in the face.
Then their "rule" of "accurately answering three questions" is broken, and they themselves break it.
Although Pan Shuai did not reveal the outcome, it is highly likely that they have simply fallen into a deep sleep.
If they were to make a move, Lu Li would immediately open the Dream World and pull the three of them, along with Xing Tian and the others, into it.
But what if they answered correctly...?
That......
Lu Li suddenly felt a surge of excitement!
Then he'll know where Miss Bai and Miss Luo are right now!
Either way, Lu Li and Pan Shuai won't lose out!
Sure enough, the three spirits stopped moving, clearly caught in some kind of logical paradox.
In their minds, Lu Li is a total single dog.
Because their knowledge comes from their entire worldview.
Therefore, no matter what the problem is, it can not stump them.
So it's absolutely true that Lu Li is single!
But when they tried to answer, they found they couldn't.
They can only fail to answer if the answer is wrong.
Because they have no thoughts, they are just "formulaic urban legends".
They cannot break their own rules.
Their rule is simply to "answer three questions correctly".
So "Lu Li is single" is the wrong answer, which means he does indeed have a wife.
But the laws of the world tell them that Lu Li really doesn't have a wife in this world.
And so they remained frozen in place.
Lu Li was first disappointed, then overjoyed, and then disappointed again.
It's still a contest between lust and cowardice.
The three brothers were disappointed because they didn't know where Miss Bai and Miss Luo were.
One reason for the joy was that they were certain they wouldn't kill him.
The reason for my disappointment is... Miss Bai and Miss Luo are still more important.
As the saying goes, lust overwhelms cowardice, and this is exactly what happened.
Of course, it could also be said that deep affection triumphed over caution.
Anyway, it makes no difference to Lu Li.
What's the difference between love at first sight and lust at first sight?
There's absolutely no difference!
Five more minutes passed, and the others still didn't dare to breathe.
Although Pan Shuai didn't know when Lu Li got a wife, why didn't he tell his brothers?
That bastard who forgets his friends for the sake of women!
But that's not the problem. The problem is, why aren't these three immortals moving?
Is this a bug?
Or is it that Lao Lu actually doesn't have a girlfriend?
Xing Tian was first startled by Lu Li's question, then delighted by the reaction of the three spirits, and finally saddened.
The shock came from the fear that Lu Li and the other two were all there.
And those two dungeon bosses were actually his wives?
As expected, it's a big family of bosses...
One reason for the joy was that the three spirits didn't answer the questions, which meant that the two bosses were indeed not in this world!
The sadness stems from the fact that, to a single speck of dust, there's little difference between one Mount Everest and three Mount Everests...
Lu Li is a super boss who can travel between different worlds!
Even without those two world bosses, it wouldn't make a difference.
Xing Tian's life was still in someone else's hands.
Lu Li ignored their inner thoughts; he was getting a little impatient.
"Answer now if you're going to! If you can't answer, get out! Stop dawdling and making a fuss!"
His cursing finally made the Ouija board spirits move again.
The pen wrote two words on the paper: "Wait a moment".
Then the plate was lifted, and the pen and chopsticks rolled in.
The lid was put back on the plate.
About three minutes later, the plate was opened, and the pen and chopsticks popped out again.
This time, the three of them didn't hesitate and simultaneously wrote down a place name on the paper.
Laohuai Village.
"Old Locust Village?" Lu Li raised an eyebrow. "Where is that?"
Where are Miss Bai and Miss Luo?
This village shouldn't exist in this world, otherwise why haven't the world's rules been reversed or parasitized by dreams?
Lu Li looked at Pan Shuai.
He didn't get Pan Shuai's answer; he only saw the horrified expressions on the faces of Pan Shuai, Hao Liang, and Luo Hao, and their rushing towards him.
The next moment, everything went black before Lu Li's eyes, and he lost consciousness.
Watching the spirits of the Ouija board, the spirit of the Ouija board, and the spirit of the chopsticks draw a circle in the air behind Lu Li, then the space cracked open, and countless withered hands reached out from inside to drag Lu Li inside.
Pan Shuai grabbed it.
"Old Lu!!!"
Unfortunately, he only grasped at thin air.
Pan Shuai looked at his hands. After a long while, he forced himself to calm down, then turned around and ordered, "Liangzi, go and find out where Laohuai Village is."
"Okay," Hao Liang replied in a deep voice.
Seeing their forced composure, the five members of Xing Tian's group exchanged bewildered glances.
Old Locust Village... isn't that the place their mission hinted at that's related to the root of the urban legend?
