Chapter 769 - Projection
Ba Nanxu frowned and threw the phone at Li Huowang. “Get out of my shop once you finish your call! What a waste of my kindness!”
Li Huowang grabbed the phone as he looked at the two siblings, who were placing the cabinet back in its original location. “Hello?”
—It’s me, Qing Wanglai. Yang Na told me about the situation. Don’t panic, and slowly explain what happened. Why are you suddenly behaving like this?
Li Huowang hesitated. He decided to speak after considering that Qing Wanglai was the one who introduced him to the hypothesis of different projections. “I finally understand what is happening in this world. I always wondered why this place was weird. It\'s because this is not the world where I should be staying!”
Qing Wanglai paused when he heard Li Huowang’s explanation.
—Li Huowang, I think I understand what happened. Is it because you think this world is fake? Do you think your real girlfriend and parents are somewhere else? Do you think that you’ve transmigrated and that everything here is fake?
Li Huowang was conflicted when he looked at how real Yang Na was. “Isn’t it true? Didn’t you tell me that everything is a projection?”
—I did tell you that the entire world is a projection, but that doesn’t mean it\'s fake. We have flesh and our own thoughts. We are real. We are real projections, you understand? So why did you think that your past was not a projection?
—When I said that this world is a projection, I also meant that your past is a projection. You’ve always been here. The Yang Na you knew is the same. Your parents are the same. You are the same as us, so you don’t need to be confused. We are just projections.
“They are all projections? Everything I’ve seen in the past is a projection?” Li Huowang pondered, reflecting on his memories from kindergarten, primary school, and high school. “They are all projections? Impossible!”
—Why not? Nothing is impossible. It’s just that you never noticed it in the past.
Li Huowang fell into silence upon hearing this.
—Don’t worry. You never got transmigrated. You’re the same, and they have always been by your side. Nothing has changed. You just need to accept this hypothesis.
This hypothesis seemed much more reasonable compared to what he had previously thought and the despair it had caused him. It was easier for him to believe that everything had always been a projection.
Li Huowang remained silent as he took it all in. “And is there any proof? I need proof to believe that everything in the past was a projection. I won’t just take your word for it.”
—Do you have proof that your past was not a projection?
“I do!”
Li Huowang’s certainty confused Qing Wanglai.
—You do? Then tell me.
“I might be a Siming, but I was materialized using the power to cultivate the ‘Truth.’ That means that my past is not a projection!”
Both sides of the phone remained silent.
—Li Huowang, maybe it’s best if we’re honest with each other. I fear that we won’t get to the end of it if you continue to argue about this ceaselessly.
“Fine! I will have to prove it with my own methods!” Li Huowang hung up.
Even though he said that, his mood was already visibly better than before.
Qing Wanglai had given him a good hypothesis. If he was a projection in the past, then he didn’t have to worry about what the projections of his family and Yang Na were.
It was bizarre, but Li Huowang was currently experiencing something even more bizarre. He set aside the hypothesis for now, focusing on finding answers instead.
He wiped the blood on the phone with his shirt before returning it to Yang Na.
The two of them looked at each other. Li Huowang pondered if he should ask her, but it would be a waste of time if she really was a projection.
“Let’s go back. We can talk more later.” Li Huowang held Yang Na and headed towards the exit.
He was already at the door when he turned around and looked at the Ba siblings.
“Ba-Hui, we are technically old acquaintances. If you can help me figure out what’s happening, I will consider joining forces with you. That way, you won’t be all alone if you’re attacked. They are targeting the Simings, and some of them have already died. Are you sure you won’t be next?”
“Crazy bastard.” The two siblings ignored him and shut the door.
That’s strange. Ba-Hui should’ve recognized me. We even met numerous times. Was I wrong? Li Huowang shook his head. No, they must be Ba-Hui! They even warned me just now. I must be right, but why aren’t they talking to me?
“Is this because everything is a projection? Is the projection warping their meanings? What is this projection, then? How come there’s a layer of projection after I’ve become a Siming?”
He recalled the people attacking him and frowned. I’ve been so focused on my own problems that I never really spent time figuring out who they were. If we are the Simings from the Baiyu Capital, then who are the attackers?
Li Huowang’s frown deepened at the thought that so many figures could threaten a Siming.
“Li Huowang, let’s go back. You should take your medicine. Did you become like this after you stopped taking it?”
“What medicine? I finally figured out what was wrong and who they really are! They must be the people from god Yu’er!”
Li Huowang took Yang Na away from the busy street, feeling like he had finally pieced everything together.
