Chapter 1129 - 829: Who Is It?
"Don’t want to think?"
Wait!
All the lunatics were stunned by this question.
Someone suddenly reacted: "I... I actually seriously answered his question just now?"
Someone cried tears of joy: "I can’t believe it... I actually regained my sanity?"
Li Zheng watched this scene and suddenly felt that something seemed off.
He took the opportunity to activate his Spiritual Power, randomly invading the mind of one lunatic, finding the broken and tattered Spiritual Realm of the other, and retreated after a quick glance.
The palace in this person’s Spiritual Realm had disappeared!
The lunatic whose mind was invaded didn’t notice anything unusual, excitedly jumping around in the Golden Light Zone: "I’ve recovered! I’ve finally recovered! Hahaha... ah..."
The body convulsed, then collapsed to the ground, dead.
The other lunatics were immediately terrified, silent as cicadas in winter.
Xiahou Fei came over to check for a moment, then reported: "He had been weak for too long. The sudden excitement caused his body’s balance to break, and his heart and brain suffered different degrees of damage."
In layman’s terms, this person died from excessive joy, it was sudden death.
This reminded Li Zheng of a scholar surnamed Fan.
But he had no time to manage those people anymore. From fragmented sentences, he discerned that before he arrived, these lunatics’ minds had always been in a crashing state.
The sudden recovery was undoubtedly related to his arrival.
"It seems there’s a guy deep in the Sloth Sin Domain who’s been waiting for me?" Li Zheng pondered inwardly.
Then he said to Xiahou Fei: "You can wait here or go outside the Sin Domain to procure some food and medicine to save these people, but it can’t be free. They must pay due price!
As for whether they can leave the Sin Domain after recovering, that’s not our concern."
Pitiful people inevitably have reprehensible traits.
This statement may be biased, but it applies perfectly to these lunatics.
Previously, a few lunatics had said that they came to the Sloth Sin Domain to seek death, but in the end, they suddenly regretted it before dying and struggled to survive in the Golden Light Zone.
Having Xiahou Fei find ways to treat these people and help them recover, he has been benevolent enough.
Xiahou Fei listened to him, told those people to wait, and left the Golden Light Zone alone.
Li Zheng looked toward the depths of the Sin Domain, lost in contemplation.
"Though the outcome is the same, the process was unexpected."
Li Zheng originally thought this "insanity" state was targeting him, only to find that in the Sloth Sin Domain, insanity was the norm, and now the insanity was suddenly undone, conveniently due to Li Zheng’s presence.
Looking back, he realized that once he entered the Sloth Sin Domain, his thoughts were uncontrollably becoming lethargic.
Li Zheng even suspected that without timely awakening, even his Spiritual Power would gradually succumb, eventually becoming neither human nor ghost like those lunatics.
"Since you want to see me, I’ll grant your wish."
He sighed, stepped out of the Golden Light Zone, and the golden light that had enveloped him due to a resonance in battle intention elongated, broke, and dissipated.
In the hinterland of the Golden Light Zone, Laurel watched Li Zheng’s departing figure, only stepping forward when he was completely out of sight, coming to stand before the lunatics who had regained their sanity.
"Who are you?"
A lunatic saw him and asked.
Laurel didn’t answer, only gazed at these people for a moment, then shook his head in disappointment: "You... are not it."
He turned, lightly moved his robe, and with the lunatics behind him pausing their actions, it was as though a breath blew across them, their bodies and clothes gradually disintegrated into ashes, completely vanished.
When Xiahou Fei returned with supplies, the place was empty.
Li Zheng was walking in the dark space, surrounded in all directions by endless emptiness.
No plants, no creatures, not even the path beneath his feet changed.
Li Zheng did not hesitate, knowing that each step he took moved him forward, without a chance of standing still.
After walking for an indeterminate length of time, a black dot finally appeared at the end of his vision.
As Li Zheng continued to advance, the black dot grew larger, eventually transforming into a towering, colossal entity.
The monstrous entity was composed of countless massive, grotesque tentacles, with large tentacles spawning smaller ones, and smaller ones spawning even smaller tentacles.
Even the diameter of those tiny tentacles was five or six times thicker than Li Zheng’s waist!
The tentacles were covered with eyes of various sizes, large eyes on larger tentacles, naturally smaller eyes on the smaller tentacles, surrounded by densely distributed filaments.
The filaments resembled veins, somewhat similar to the genetic patterns within Li Zheng’s body, only these filaments were revealed on the surface.
Li Zheng stood before the repulsive mass of tentacles, softly saying, "Didn’t you want to see me? I’ve arrived!"
Swish!
All the eyes simultaneously rotated towards him, uniformly gazing at Li Zheng, who was as small as dust, with undeniable malice lurking deep within, filled with an insatiable craving for Li Zheng.
Li Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, without even unsheathing his weapon, his expression calm and serene, as if not worried at all about being torn to pieces by those tentacles.
"Go back, I am now too weary to meet you."
A wave of Spiritual Power surged forth, and within it, Li Zheng sensed a message from a despondent will.
"You stopped the thought interference to tell me you wanted to meet me," Li Zheng said aloud, "Now that I’m here, why are you too lazy to meet me?"
The area remained silent, with only countless pairs of eyes staring.
After a long time, the wave surged again: "I want to see you, but you are not yourself. Considering your presence, go back, for I am too lazy to kill you."
To see me, but I am not myself?
Li Zheng’s heart stirred: "Who of me do you want to see? The False? The Terminal? Or a certain clone?"
The will seemed to exert effort to muster some spirit, taking long pauses before each response.
"All of them, and yet none."
"Go back and tell the Terminal, we were all mistaken."
"Enjoy the remainder of your life; do not resist, for you are no match."
Only three waves were transmitted, yet it seemed to span three years.
Of course, Li Zheng knew it couldn’t have truly been three years, or the Sin Domain would have long been in chaos.
He coldly laughed: "I thought you could tell me something, but it turns out to be nothing but devilish nonsense!"
The wave replied: "Believe it or not, I could kill you just by turning over, but I am too lazy to. Leave quickly, I am about to sleep again, then everything here will return to its original state. Even with your Spiritual Power, near me, it will only take moments for you to collapse. Do not think that your Spiritual Power hidden in another space can resist me. I... am tired..."
The other party seemed truly unable to hold on, using the final bit of time to send a lengthy message, but unfortunately, it was mostly rubbish.
When the wave ended, Li Zheng suddenly felt the emotional pressure from the Sin Domain sharply increasing!
An overwhelming pressure from the mental realm caused his brain to throb with a "thump, thump, thump," as if it might burst open in the next moment.
He dared not delay, unfolding the Demon Thunder Wings, transforming into a stream of light to fly away at the fastest speed.
The other party was right; merely the disturbance caused by entering sleep overwhelmed him, if it slept completely, he’d be doomed!
"Who exactly is this consciousness?"
During his flight, Li Zheng was still pondering the identity of the opponent.
"Is it a twisted creature transformed by Emotion Storm?"
"Or could it be..."
"The lazy side of the Emotion Storm itself?"
