Her voice was as cold as a scalpel, and it stunned Meng Chao a little.
Meng Chao said, "Big Sis Ya, are you crazy or are you awake? You're too good at acting. When you hugged me just now, you didn't even give me a hint! "
"Duh. Of course I'm awake. Hugging me is the greatest hint."
Lu Siya pursed her lips. "If it weren't for the fact that there's something off about this, when have you ever seen me hug you so gently?"
Meng Chao thought about it and had to admit it. "Alright, I was too slow. The moment you saw me, you gave me the greatest hint.
"Speaking of which, I have the same question. How do I know that you're the real Lu Siya and not an abnormal beast that's skilled in pretending to be a human? Or that you're just a virus that was implanted in my cerebral cortex to mess up my optic nerves and make me hallucinate?"
Meng Chao's voice turned cold and sharp.
Lu Siya's lips curled up. "Looks like you're the same as me. You suspect that everything in front of you isn't real."
Meng Chao thought about it for a while before he shook his head slowly and said, "I don't think that everything in front of me is fake, but it's definitely fake and illusions. You have to understand that 99% of the best lies are the truth, and the best illusions are formed by 99% of reality.
"Maybe, the whole Peach Blossom Town is real, and only the last 1% of you, which is also the most important part, is fake?"
"Looks like we have to think of a way to prove that we're the real Meng Chao and Lu Siya. Only then can we have a deeper conversation."
Lu Siya was not angry because of Meng Chao's suspicion. Instead, she looked at him with praise. "I have an idea. We'll ask each other three questions that involve three secrets that only we know. What do you think?"
"Sure."
Meng Chao thought about it and added, "The questions and answers should be as short as possible. They're like riddles. Unless it's the real Meng Chao and Lu Siya, no one will know what the questions are. Besides, the questions shouldn't involve the core secrets of Dragon City, like the Supernatural Tower or the ancient ruins. It's in case the mastermind has ears and takes advantage of us.
"If they can even answer riddles like this, there are only two possibilities.
"First, the person standing in front of us is indeed the best partner with a telepathic connection, and not an exotic beast in disguise.
"Second, the monster's mastermind can read our thoughts and retrieve the corresponding answers. If that's the case, then we don't need to waste our time trying to solve the trap in Peach Blossom Town, because all of our thoughts and actions are under the control of the monster's mastermind."
"That's right."
"If the monster's mastermind could really read our thoughts at will, there would be no need for it to go through so much trouble to maintain the situation in Peach Blossom Town. It could just eat all the brains of the humans it controls.
"Three questions. Shall I go first?"
Since it was a riddle, the question itself was the answer. It did not matter who asked first. Meng Chao nodded and said, "Sure. Big Sis Ya, ask away!"
"First question, A 'Ji," Lu Siya said quickly.
At first glance, A 'Ji's name came out of nowhere, so it was not a question at all.
Even if the monster's mastermind had a lot of information about Dragon City and knew everything about Meng Chao and Lu Siya, even if it knew that Meng Chao had gotten to know a petty thief called A 'Ji during the battle of the lair, it was impossible for it to know what Lu Siya really wanted to ask.
Only Meng Chao could answer without hesitation. "Jin Wanhao!"
Indeed, A 'Ji was the brand new personality of the Underground Emperor Jin Wanhao after he regained his youth.
This secret was something only Meng Chao, Lu Siya, and A 'Ji knew.
Meng Chao had answered the first secret.
"It's my turn for the second question."
Meng Chao stared at Lu Siya. "The reason why Qin Hu escaped at the foot of Raging Waves?"
Lu Siya thought about it for two seconds before she quirked her eyebrows and said, "A beauty's tailor!"
At first glance, it sounded even stranger than Jin Wanhao's answer.
But Meng Chao instantly understood what she meant.
When he, Lu Siya, and Qin Hu ran into a Red Radiance Jade tsunami at the foot of Raging Waves, there were two cracks in front of them.
The first crack led straight to the surface, but it was winding and complicated. They needed around twenty hours to climb to the surface.
If they had really chosen this path to escape, they might have been burned to a crisp by the Red Radiance Jade tsunami before they could even climb one-third of the way there.
The second crack seemed to be a dead end, but it led straight to the mine that contained a lot of Blue Origin Crystals.
They had crawled into the crack and relied on the surging spirit energy from the Blue Origin Crystals to withstand the impact of the Red Radiance Jade tsunami. In fact, they had even benefited from the disaster. They absorbed two spirit energy of completely different natures into their bodies and mastered them, which allowed them to build a sturdy foundation for them to reach Heaven Realm.
Regardless of whether it was his previous life or his current life, the crack that led straight to the Blue Origin Crystal mine was Qin Hu's choice.
Qin Hu was a veteran hunter, but he knew nothing about rock stratum exploration and underground survival.
Lu Siya was a mine explorer and a Spirit Sensor, so she had chosen the other crack that led straight to the surface.
Meng Chao was the one who trusted Qin Hu unconditionally based on his previous life's memories, which allowed them to escape the disaster.
Later, when the two of them asked Qin Hu why he instinctively chose the crack, Qin Hu gave them an answer that they did not know whether they should laugh or cry.
It was because he felt that the crack that led straight to the Blue Origin Crystal mine had curves that formed the outline of a beautiful woman lying on her side.
Similarly, only Meng Chao, Lu Siya, and Qin Hu knew about this.
Since it was not something important and it would be a little embarrassing if he told others, it was impossible for Qin Hu to tell this secret to anyone.
Even if the monster mastermind had used some unbelievable method to learn about Jin Wanhao's greatest secret through Jin Qianxi, it was impossible for the mastermind to know about Jin Wanhao's greatest secret.
It would also be impossible for it to know about the distracting thoughts that had popped up in Qin Hu's mind when he was about to die.
Hence, these two riddles alone were enough to prove each other's identities.
To be safe, Meng Chao had Lu Siya ask the third question.
Lu Siya thought about it for a while before she narrowed her eyes and stared at Meng Chao. She said coldly, "Do you remember the last time we met before we left?"
Meng Chao thought about it and said, "Is it the time when I came to visit you with a gift in the office of the Lair Reconstruction Committee?"
"That's right. It's that time," Lu Siya said clearly.
"This is the last question. Listen carefully. If you're the real Meng Chao, you'll definitely know why I was angry that time!"
Meng Chao was stunned.
He widened his eyes and thought about it for a long time, but he was still lost.
"I-I don't know!"
He scratched his head. "Wait, Big Sis Ya, were you angry that time?"
"…"
When Lu Siya heard this, she finally released a long sigh and relaxed. "Correct. Looks like you're the real Meng Chao."
"Huh?"
Meng Chao could not wrap his head around it. "That's the right answer? But I don't know why you were angry that day! "
"It's right that you don't know, because I wasn't angry at all."
Lu Siya smiled coldly. "You were busy training with Battle God Lei Zongchao, but you still took some time out of your busy schedule to visit me. You even prepared gifts for me and the kind Ms. Mulian who saved millions of citizens. They were all gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid that you personally chose.
"You must know that the current Su Mulian is a pure and flawless goddess in countless Dragon Citizens' hearts. She's a goddess who saves people from suffering, but I can actually enjoy the same treatment as a goddess when I'm with you. Even half a gene medicine and high-calorie nutritional fluid won't be any less than hers. It's really touching. I'm so happy that I can't even be angry.
"So, 'I'm not angry' is the correct answer. Congratulations on passing!"
"Alright. Now, I'm 100% certain that you're the real Lu Siya."
Meng Chao used his saliva to moisten his rather dry throat. "You might say that you're not angry, but for some reason, I feel like you're still a little angry.
"You might be congratulating me for passing, but for some reason, I feel like I didn't pass at all. In fact, I feel like my heart is pounding in fear.
"Only the real Queen Bee Lu Siya looks like this. Even if the Vortex is reborn and imitates your appearance perfectly, it's impossible for it to replicate this strange feeling.
"Speaking of which, Big Sis Ya, are you angry? Did I pass or not?"
"These details aren't important. Let's go back to Dragon City and think about these things slowly. Right now, the most important thing is to figure out the truth behind Peach Blossom Town," Lu Siya said.
"We don't have much time. We have to think of a way to stop and destroy the Wisdom Tree before the harvest ceremony ends and it completely wakes up. Next, I'll use the simplest words to describe what happened to me after I came to Peach Blossom Town, and I'll also describe the puzzlement I've gotten. Perk up your ears and listen carefully. We'll piece together the truth!
"Also, don't whisper to each other in such a sneaky manner. Don't let your spirit energy seep out of your pores. It's like you're wearing invisible armor so that others can tell that you're wary and wary at first glance.
"I suggest that you inhale some of the hallucinogenic spores and create the illusion that you're gradually going crazy. Then, you'll be like the people in Peach Blossom Town around you. It'll be easier for you to disguise yourself that way."
He opened up some of the pores that were far away from his core organs and let some of the hallucinogenic spores enter his body. Then, he used his spirit energy to force them to stay on his epidermis and nerve endings.
He instantly turned red, as if he was allergic to alcohol. Steam rose from his body, and he staggered and danced.
"That's right. That's it. Don't stop.
Keep dancing. "Lu Siya danced with him. With the cover of the colorful feathers, she quickly said," That day, I brought all the members of Special Search Group 9 to the edge of the sinkhole. We split into three groups and were about to enter the sinkhole to explore it.
"Suddenly, all our communications and data links were cut off, and a monster horde that filled the forest behind us appeared …"
