"Sorry everyone. This King is indeed the Infernal King!"
Shi Xiaobai said helplessly, "But This King is similarly the real Shi Xiaobai."
Everyone was given a fright when they heard the first sentence. Thankfully, Shi Xiaobai quickly said the second sentence with a twist. But even so, these two sentences left them immediately dumbfounded.
What did these words that were filled with contradictions mean?
Was he indeed the Infernal King?
But was similarly the real Shi Xiaobai?
Could it be that … the Infernal King and Shi Xiaobai were the same person?
"That's impossible."
Liu Yu frowned slightly and said, "Don't forget, we are a trial …"
Shi Xiaobai stretched out his hand to interrupt Liu Yu's unfinished words. In fact, the meaning that Liu Yu wanted to express was something that everyone present understood other than the Infernal Queen. Shi Xiaobai was a trial-taker from the human world. As for the Infernal King, he was a fake existence created by the assessment program. Although the Infernal King had once existed in the true history of this dimension, the present Infernal King was fake. He would be refreshed every month.
Shi Xiaobai was real and the Infernal King was fake. How could the two be the same existence?
But be it Shi Xiaobai or the Infernal King, if they did not have a convincing explanation, it was impossible for them to say such ridiculous words.
Everyone looked at Shi Xiaobai, waiting for his explanation.
However, Shi Xiaobai did not immediately explain. Instead, he turned to look at the Infernal Queen and said softly, "Go back first. This King will return to the Infernal domain after explaining everything to my friends."
The subtext of this sentence clearly indicated that Shi Xiaobai did not wish for the Infernal Queen to hear his explanation.
The Infernal Queen bit her lower lip and felt somewhat aggrieved and helpless. What was there to explain?
However, Shi Xiaobai had indicated that the few people were his friends. The Infernal Queen could also sense the importance Shi Xiaobai placed on them, so she did not act willfully.
"Then, I'll return first."
The Infernal Queen said faintly as she turned around and walked towards the Infernal domain. She turned her head back with every step she took. With her graceful figure and graceful footsteps, she disappeared into the Door of the Bravehearts in three steps.
After the Infernal Queen left, the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.
No one was the first to speak.
As there were too many questions they wanted to ask, they did not know what to ask. They could only watch Shi Xiaobai quietly.
Shi Xiaobai fell silent for a moment as he considered his words. With a cough, he said, "Before This King explains, it looks like This King needs to prove that he is indeed Shi Xiaobai. Let's do it this way. Each of you will ask a question that Shi Xiaobai can answer but the Infernal King can't. Looks can be disguised and actions can be imitated, but memories can't be copied, right?"
Although Shi Xiaobai found the "theory of him being the Infernal King's transformation" somewhat laughable, it had to be said that there was plenty of evidence to support the possibility of him being the Infernal King. If he was not the person in question, he might have the same suspicions.
Hence, Shi Xiaobai felt that before "explaining", he should first prove his identity.
Shi Xiaobai turned to look at Liu Yu. As the person who proposed the theory, Liu Yu was probably the person with the greatest doubts.
Liu Yu gave a sheepish laugh and said, "Why do you make This Penniless Priest sound like a despicable person with sinister thoughts? I'll say it first. This Penniless Priest believes that you are Shi Xiaobai, but there are too many points of doubt in this matter. For example, why did you become the eighth person to clear the sixth level despite the rule that only seven trial-takers could clear it?"
"This Penniless Priest had been watching you from the second, fifth and sixth levels. Back then, your strength was extraordinary, but it was not as terrifying as when you were in Transcendence. At the very least, you were able to withstand Moya and Leonis's physical toughness. It has only been such a short period of time, but such an exaggerated improvement doesn't make sense."
"Furthermore, the Infernal Queen is famous for being deeply in love with the Infernal King. She is absolutely loyal, so it's impossible for her to ruin her reputation and call someone else her husband. For her to do so, she must be a hundred percent certain that you are the Infernal King."
"Also, your knowledge of the world of the seventh level is severely lacking. Furthermore, after defeating Leonis, you did not immediately clear the level. Isn't it a little far-fetched to say that the assessment program is targeting you?"
"There are too many points of doubt, so many that This Penniless Priest can't help but have doubts. Even if your personality, habits, looks and everything about you is no different from the Shi Xiaobai This Penniless Priest knows, This Penniless Priest has not known you for long, so This Penniless Priest cannot be absolutely certain."
"So, even if such doubts are very unfriendly, This Penniless Priest has no choice but to be the bad guy. Shi Xiaobai, can you tell me what was the first thing This Penniless Priest said to you the first time we met? "
Liu Yu gave a series of explanations, clearly hoping that Shi Xiaobai would not bear a grudge because of this matter.
Shi Xiaobai was naturally not such a petty person. Furthermore, there were indeed many points of doubt in this matter. Even he had no way of explaining it clearly.
Shi Xiaobai pondered for a moment and quickly recalled the first thing Liu Yu said to him the first time they met. The main thing was that it was that sentence that left a deep impression on Shi Xiaobai.
Shi Xiaobai imitated Liu Yu's posture from back then. He stretched out his right hand and pointed his index and middle finger at Liu Yu and said, "Benefactor! This Penniless Priest noticed that your glabella is black. That's because you have a big chest cover! "
Shi Xiaobai's impersonation was ingenious and charming, making him look like a serious cheat.
Liu Yu gave an embarrassed smile before nodding and said, "That's right, not a single word off."
Shi Xiaobai said with a smile, "Then, next."
Feng Yuanlin immediately raised his hand and said, "Let me, let me ask. Boss Shi Xiaobai, what's my name?"
This question was so simple that Liu Yu could not help but roll his eyes.
Shi Xiaobai was rather satisfied with Feng Yuanlin's performance back in Transcendence, so he naturally knew his name. He immediately answered, "Feng Yuanlin."
Upon receiving the answer, Feng Yuanlin immediately laughed out loud and said, "Haha, Boss Shi Xiaobai remembers my name. I'm so happy!"
Shi Xiaobai could not help but give a knowing smile. This lackey seemed pretty good and was worth taking in.
Following that, Shi Xiaobai turned to look at Pulp Farmer.
Pulp Farmer was taken aback before he reacted. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I don't have anything to ask. Regardless if you are Shi Xiaobai or the Infernal King, you have saved my life. Of course, I'm more willing to believe that you are Shi Xiaobai. "
Shi Xiaobai nodded and turned to look at the silver-haired girl standing beside Sunless.
The silver-haired girl was already prepared. She immediately raised the writing board in her hand and wrote on it, "Brother Xiaobai, do you still remember me?"
Shi Xiaobai said with a nod, "Of course!"
Although he had only interacted with the silver-haired girl who wore black-rimmed glasses for a few short waves of demonic beasts, Shi Xiaobai had a deep impression of her. He also had a good impression of her.
Back then, he had vaguely guessed that the silver-haired girl's strength was extraordinary. This was because she was the second rookie to reach City # 1. The speed at which she cleared the first level far exceeded the other rookies. She was much faster than Liu Yu. Furthermore, the speed at which she cleared the demonic beasts at the city gate was in no way inferior to his.
And at this moment, Shi Xiaobai was not too surprised to meet the silver-haired girl on the seventh level.
However, Shi Xiaobai clearly remembered that the speechless girl was a chatterbox. The first time he met her, she bombarded him with questions. She was so lively and adorable that it made his heart ache.
Shi Xiaobai was immediately mentally prepared to receive the bombardment of questions from the adorable chatterbox girl.
