Chapter 781 - Siming

“You recognize me, don’t you? You definitely do. You once called me Ji Zai in the psychiatric hospital. That’s absolutely true. Others might not know, but you surely know something!

“No need to hide it anymore. I already know. I am fully awakened now. I know who I am. I am Ji Zai—the Siming of Bewilderment!

“What kind of Siming are you? What Heavenly Dao do you oversee? Which Heavenly Daos do the others oversee?”

Qian Fu watched the rambling Li Huowang as he slowly stuffed his mouth with a hamburger. He turned his head and asked Chen Hongyu beside him in a muffled voice, “What’s wrong with Li Huowang?”

“He’s gone mad.”

Li Huowang suddenly turned his head towards her. He asked emotionally, “Abbess? Or rather, a part of the Abbess? The thoughts of everyone at the Benevolent Nunnery were connected. As the Siming of Rot, you should have some memories of her, right?”

Chen Hongyu rolled her eyes in disgust and moved toward the back of the RV, where Wu Qi was making a phone call. She asked, “Has Qing Wanglai arrived yet? How much longer do we have to wait?”

Wu Qi didn’t answer. She walked further in, holding her phone to her mouth as she chuckled.

“Huowang, don’t be like this. Please take your medicine,” Bai Lingmiao said, stopping Li Huowang from walking towards Wu Qi and handing him the medicine and water.

Li Huowang gripped the steaming glass cup, then sat down on the stool and let out a heavy sigh.

He had already understood his identity, and he was sure the others were also Simings.

Since they were Simings, the threats they faced had to be from god Yu’er and the Dharma Sect. This way, all the logic from before was completely connected.

Simings in the Baiyu Capital usually only cared about their own affairs. However, they were forced to unite when facing external enemies.

“Is god Yu’er really that powerful? Forcing seven Simings to join hands. No, it’s probably not just god Yu’er. It doesn’t seem like a single Siming could achieve the previous schemes by themselves.”

Li Huowang looked at his companions again. Unfortunately, he could not communicate effectively with them, even if he understood. They wouldn’t listen no matter what he said to them now.

This projection was obviously distorted when refracted, which made it difficult to convey the meaning of his words.

How can I make them understand my point? Wait, if I am a Siming, does everything from before exist? Are Puppy, Bai Lingmiao, and Gao Zhijian still around? How are they doing?

Li Huowang thought of them and his expression turned heavy.

“Come on, be good. Take your medicine quickly.” Yang Na placed the medicine in Li Huowang’s hand and then guided his hand to his mouth. “Place the medicine at the base of your tongue first, then wash it down with water so it won’t be bitter.”

Li Huowang still didn’t take the medicine. He held the medicine in one hand and the cup in the other as he stared blankly at Yang Na. “Nana, what kind of Siming are you?”

Li Huowang was certain that he had only been a Siming for a short time, so there shouldn’t have been any Simings that had such a good relationship with him.

This was very strange. Or maybe, the projections on both sides were not perfectly matched.

Yang Na couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst into tears as she leaned on the table.

Li Huowang’s heart trembled when he heard her heartbreaking sobs, snapping out of his previous state.

It didn’t matter what Siming Nana was—she was his Yang Na first and foremost.

He had been too eager to uncover the truth and had completely ignored her feelings. It must have seemed like his mental illness had relapsed.

As Li Huowang comforted Yang Na, Wu Qi hung up the phone and walked over. “What’s going on here? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Are you two breaking up?”

“Li Huowang is going crazy and upset his girlfriend. Who were you calling just now?” Chen Hongyu asked while fighting with Qian Fu for fries.

“My best friend.” Wu Qi put her arm around Yang Na’s shoulders and gently comforted her.

“You have a best friend? I thought you were too busy driving this broken car around to make friends.”

“How can you say that? How come I can’t have friends? Come help out. Can’t you see that she’s crying?”

Chen Hongyu grabbed the Coke from Qian Fu’s hand. “I wasn’t the one who made her cry, so why should I help? Anyway, don’t interfere. This is a small issue. If they can’t handle this, how will they deal with getting married and having kids in the future? This is nothing. They’ll break up eventually.”

“Nana! Look, I will take the medicine.” Li Huowang displayed the medicine and capsules in his hand to Yang Na, then put them in his mouth and swallowed them.

Yang Na felt slightly less overwhelmed. Li Huowang’s recent manic behavior was clearly caused by his old illness relapsing due to not taking his medication.

She realized she would need to monitor him to ensure he takes his medication. Yang Na didn’t want Li Huowang to be sent back to the psychiatric hospital, and she didn’t want to see him lose his sanity again.

Wu Qi saw Li Huowang signal her with his eyes, so she tactfully left her seat and gave him some space.

Li Huowang sat in Wu Qi’s place then gently hugged and softly comforted Yang Na.

Li Huowang let out a soft sigh as he thought about the past. His feelings towards everything here were very complicated.

If everyone was a projection, then was it this side projecting that side, or that side projecting this side?

The only thing he was sure of was that he didn’t want to give up now. He had to protect her and consider her feelings.

He couldn’t talk to Yang Na about the current situation. He himself could not properly differentiate things, and he had been unable to care for both sides.

Now that he understood things clearly, he had to consider both sides.

After Li Huowang comforted Yang Na, she sniffled and got out of his arms. She grabbed her bag and went to the bathroom to fix her makeup.

At this moment, the sound of Qing Wanglai’s car came from outside the RV.

He seemed very happy, grinning broadly as he placed the food on the table. “I have good news. After days of persuasion, the other side finally agreed to negotiate with us.”

Li Huowang felt a bit better. As long as god Yu’er wasn’t looking for a fight, the Simings wouldn’t fight to the death either. It wouldn’t benefit anyone.

If they fought up there, many people in the mortal realm would die.

“Great! The Leotians finally caved! Although it’s a pity we didn’t get their UFO.”

“Wanglai, be careful. The groups that steal special abilities are very cunning. They might say it’s a negotiation, but they could actually be setting a trap.”
