The elder sister's words struck the younger brother like lightning.
Even though there was no lightning in this world, the cowardly young man still felt that something deep inside his heart had cracked.
It was like the cracked sky.
The memories of the past were broken and spurting out of the cracks in his heart.
Dad. Dad who was tall, strong, pious, and laughed aloud all day long like the sun.
Even though he was dead, he died valiantly for the exploration of the ultimate mysteries of the Iron Fist and for the great Fist God.
But it was all a lie?
The memories that were familiar and clear became strange and blurred.
The pious, righteous, frank, and valiant father did not exist. Instead, it was replaced by a sordid, evil, and sneaky evil man who was as sneaky as a mouse?
The young man's world collapsed inch by inch.
The high tower made of sand turned into sand again in the face of the roaring tides.
"It's impossible."
Gus already believed what his elder sister said.
After all, everything he saw before his eyes was an undeniable fact.
No matter how talented his sister, who was not even twenty years old, was, it was impossible for her to deceive the public and build such a demonic altar.
But he could only keep repeating "it's impossible", because it was the only response he could give to the whole world.
Grey ignored her brother who was on the verge of collapse.
What he said just now seemed to have overthrown her last faith or fear for the Fist God.
Looking at Lu Qingchen in the eyes, she repeated in a heavier tone, "Tell me how my father died!"
"Well …"
Lu Qingchen was dazed for a moment. He scratched his head in distress. "I don't know."
"You don't know?"
Grey was in a trance at first, but then she was infuriated. Even if the guy was really a devil from the hell of steam, she still wanted to lunge at him and bite him hard. "You ran out of the steam ball that my father had been studying. My parents paid with their lives for you. You said just now that you could fulfill our three wishes, but now you are telling me that you don't know?"
"How would I know?"
Lu Qingchen rolled his eyes and explained patiently, "Strictly speaking, I didn't come out of this steam ball. It's because what you did violated a certain law of this world, and there was a bug … Forget it, it's hard to explain. Just pretend that I came out of the steam ball. But I've been inside all this time, and I can't see or hear anything. I know nothing about this world. How would I know how your father died?"
"Then …"
Grey stared blankly for a moment and said unwillingly, "You just said that you can make me the strongest person in this world, and even destroy this world!"
"That's fine."
Lu Qingchen shrugged and said, "As a matter of fact, it is much easier to destroy the world directly than to retrieve a specific piece of information from the bottom-level database of the world under the Fist King's surveillance. How about it? Are you sure you want to destroy the world right now? Then I'll destroy it! "
It was clearly the ugly face of a six or seven-year-old child, but it spoke strange words that even adults could not understand.
It was obviously something as absurd and terrifying as "destroying the world", but he made it sound as if it was as simple as having dinner.
Grey and Gus both shuddered at the same time.
"No, we don't want to destroy the world."
Grey swallowed and said with difficulty, "I just want to know the cause of my father's death, find the real murderer, and kill him."
"No problem."
Lu Qingchen smiled and said, "Although I don't know the answer for now, I have nothing better to do anyway, and I can help you find the truth. Besides, I'm not like those demons who like to play with logic traps. Find the cause of death, find the real murderer, and kill the real murderer. I'll only count as one of your wishes. What do you think? I'm really an honest, kind, simple, and innocent elf, aren't I?"
Grey and Gus looked at each other.
Although the mysterious demon who called himself Lu Qingchen had never shown his sharp fangs since he was summoned.
But the two siblings were more and more certain that no matter what he was, he was definitely more terrifying than the legendary steam demon.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Am I so scary? To be honest, it remains to be seen who will destroy the world when the time comes! "
Lu Qingchen's smile was even softer and more harmless. He said, "Brother Gus, Sister Grey, nice to meet you. Now that we know each other and are friends, good friends should help each other. Besides, I promised to fulfill three of your wishes. So, seeing that I'm so honest, kind, simple, and innocent, can you do me a small favor?"
"No …"
Gus subconsciously shook his head.
"What do you want?"
Grey, however, gnashed her teeth.
"I want to find a bigger bug …" Lu Qingchen scratched his head.
Lu Qingchen continued scratching his head, as if troubled. "Well, how should I explain it to you? I mean, are there any bizarre and illogical places in your world? For example, are there dangerous areas where earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions happen all the time? Or are people suddenly vanishing when they are walking? Or are two walls overlapping for no good reason? Or are people passing through walls without being damaged at all? All in all, there are mysterious places that violate the fundamental laws of this world. I'm going there."
The question was rather weird.
Grey and Gus were just a boy and a girl in a small town. Even though their father had been training outside, he had only been to the few famous martial arts cities in the north. They had never heard of such weird places.
"You don't?"
Seeing that the two siblings shook their heads at the same time, Lu Qingchen was not disappointed at all. He mumbled to himself, "That's right. If it were such an obvious bug, it would've been fixed by A Boxing Champion or Xiaoming and Wenwen a long time ago. Let me think about it. Oh, right. Sister Grey, you were performing an experiment to extract the pure power of steam just now, weren't you? Also, your brother seemed to be terrified of the experiment and even called it 'evil'. Let me take a wild guess. Is the power of steam a taboo in the World of Fist?"
It was not a secret.
Although they did not know why the demon who should be from the Hell of Steam did not know such things, it was impossible to keep it a secret. The two siblings thought for a moment and found that there should be no trap. They couldn't help but shake their hands and nod.
"Also, if my guess is correct, the power of steam should be the greatest, most serious, and most inviolable taboo in the World of Fist, right?"
Extracting the information that he needed from the subtle movements of the two siblings, Lu Qingchen's smile was even more brilliant and harmless. He asked politely, "Then, do you know where I can find the most powerful power of steam?"
