[BL] I Wasn't Born Lucky (Unlimited Flow)

Chapter 100

The demon acted like nothing happened. He turned around the simple ring on his finger and his face was inscrutable. "What would you like to gain from me by breaking my array?"

Xiao Li asked, "Tell me your name?"

"Okay." The demon narrowed his blood-red eyes. Apart from the colour of his eyes, he looked like a normal human. Then he made an elegant gesture, "You can complete the task first. This is my courtesy to people like you."

The tip of the scalpel was aimed at the sacrificial array. It repeatedly wandered around the edge but didn't stab down.

Hao Ge's heart was both relaxed and tense. He wanted to hold the other person's hand directly and stab down, so that they could complete the task and return early. After all, the demon was always moody and someone that reincarnators didn't want to deal with.

"Sherlock?" Zou Hanyi didn't dare to breathe in this atmosphere. She reached out to pull at Xiao Li's clothes and whispered.

The demon's mouth curved and he spoke meaningfully, "Should I call you Moriarty or Sherlock?"

"It is just a code name and isn't important." Xiao Li completely put away the scalpel. "The important thing now is... the truth."

Hao Ge was surprised. "The truth?"

No one paid attention to him.

Xiao Li helplessly spoke to the demon, "We have known each other for so long and know each other's roots. Can't we go straight to the topic without so many bells and whistles?"

The demon, "......"

When did he know the roots of this human?

Xiao Li continued, "Then I'll say it straight. Save or destroy is a false proposition. How can a demon look so calm when his sacrificial array is going to be destroyed?"

"Maybe... because I found something more interesting than the array." The demon interjected. To me, this array is nothing more than a small offering and losing it won't harm me."

"I can only listen to 1% of your words." Xiao Li sneered. "The truth is very simple. "As the letter wrote, there is no choice."

Zou Hanyi wondered, "What do you mean? Weren't the choices written on the task book?"

"What if the phased tasks we received were false?" Xiao Li put forward a hypothesis. "What if there is a force that can tamper with our task? The person with this force has very bad taste. He gave us two options, to save or destroy, but the final result will be the same thing."

The demon listening quietly interrupted Xiao Li's words, pointing to himself. "Are you saying this person is me?"

Xiao Li ignored him. "My guess is very simple. From the moment we entered this world, the tasks have been tempered with. At first, I thought the forbidden area had a 'spirit' and the dream girl and shadows outside were the embodiment of its consciousness. Then after seeing the surveillance video, I found out that my thoughts were wrong. They are afraid of the demon."

"In fact, there was a hint from the envelope to the method to leave the haunted house. The answer is in our eyes and the 'choices' we see aren't real."

"The entire forbidden zone is a playground for the demon."

"The demon has tampered with our task and added a layer of illusion to the real task, confusing us with the false tasks he created. Then he watched the reincarnators turn around and around, finally appearing in front of us and watching us fall into his trap with his pompous performance. No matter whether we chose to save or destroy, the result is that we can't finish the real task and will be left in this world until we are killed or the time runs out since we don't know what the real task is."
