Chapter 232: It's All Illusions

Before, Carl had already informed Xiao Yi of the address.

Either way, Xiao Yi felt the need to take a look at the situation.

So, Xiao Yi immediately left Carl's clinic and began to walk around this strange town according to the address given by Carl, trying to reach his destination.

Then, looking at Xiao Yi who was taking a step, there was another wail in the live broadcast room.

[Quack! I don't want to look at this! 】

[Spare us!] Recreate yesterday's situation again, who can withstand this! 】

Xiao couldn't hear the wails, he just followed his instincts and didn't hesitate to move towards his supposed destination.

At the same time, Xiao also remembered something.

"Speaking of which...... That mother and daughter seem to have gone there to work, right? ”

According to Carl, the club was deserted and closed because the real gentleman was dead, so why did he need any cleaners.

So...... What happened to the mother and daughter who followed the unidentified man who claimed to be a gentleman? Are they alright?

Then, just as Xiao Yi was thinking this, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Brother~ meet again!"

Xiao Yiyi followed the prestige and found that the mother and daughter he met yesterday were standing not far away.

Tia was waving happily at him.

Subsequently, they also came to Xiao Yi's face.

Vianna smiled and said, "Hello, meet again." ”

“…… You're all right. Xiao Yi saw that they were not only fine, but also looked much better than yesterday, and he was a little relieved in his heart.

“…… It's okay? Bina and Tia looked at each other suspiciously, then looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "What's okay?" Did something happen? ”

Xiao Yi also immediately asked: "Let me ask you, what about the so-called ...... Club, how's that? ”

"Oh, that's it." Viana replied with a smile: "It's good, it's not a hassle to clean, and the big family in the club is very nice and doesn't make us hostile because we're out-of-town...... Especially the gentleman, he is really a very nice person. ”

Tia also smiled at Xiao Yi and said, "Is my brother worried about my mother's bad working environment?" Thank you for your concern, but you don't have to worry, we are living well now. ”

The happiness on their faces is not fake.

Compared with the difficult life situation before, their current life can be said to be unimaginable, so they are very grateful to the person who once saved them, especially the gentleman named Gentleman.

"This ......"

However, Xiao Yi frowned.

Carl had said that the club had been abandoned, but judging by the reaction of the mother and daughter, the club was still functioning normally.

“…… Can you tell me the address of that club? Xiao Yi asked again.

He thought to himself that maybe the two clubs might not be in the same place, that the real club had been abandoned, and that the fake gentleman had opened another club.

I don't know what purpose he got to this point, but ...... The possibility exists.

Xiao Yi has seen this kind of location trick many times in suspense works, so he asked.

But......

"Huh? Absolutely, the address is ......"

However, the address given by Vianna is exactly the same as the address given by Carl.

In other words, there is no place trickery, and the club, which Karl said has been abandoned, is still running.

"......" Faced with this strange situation, Xiao also felt that he really had to see it with his own eyes.

So, Xiao also said: "Is the gentleman in that club?" I have something to do with him now. ”

"Well, Mr. Gentleman is usually there." Vianna smiled and said, "It just so happens that I'm going to work there too, let's go together." ”

"Hmm...... It's good. ”

Although everyone in the live broadcast room was also puzzled by the fact that the statements on both sides were completely incorrect. But...... When they saw Xiao Yi follow the mother and daughter to the club, the doubts in their hearts were suddenly dispelled with joy.

Because they don't have to look at Xiao Yi anymore and get lost.

The live broadcast room was full of gratitude to the mother and daughter.

……

After a while, under the guidance of someone, Xiao did not make any detours, and went directly to this so-called gentleman's stronghold.

And what Xiao also saw was not a situation where people were empty, but a situation where people were constantly coming in and out.

It's in normal operation.

"Let's go, brother." Tia took Xiao Yi's hand, "Mom is going to work, I'll take you to meet that gentleman." ”

"Oh...... Oh. ”

The situation in front of him had to be confronted with the gentleman to be answered, so Xiao Yi also let Tia pull him away.

And her mother instructed, "Don't be rude in front of that gentleman." ”

"I see, I'll be back to help you right away."

With that, Tia took Xiao Yi to the innermost room.

To the slight surprise of the audience in the live broadcast room, Xiao was not hindered by anything, and there was no situation where the gentleman was not here.

He soon saw the gentleman again.

Generally speaking, if there is any strange phenomenon in the dungeon, it will be difficult to verify it, but this time there was no obstruction or accident, which everyone did not expect.

“…… Oh, isn't this Xiao Yi? I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to me. ”

The gentleman sat at the desk in the room, still with a vague, mysterious smile on his face.

"Now that it's delivered, it's time for me to go, it's time for my mother to help. Goodbye, brother, and Mr. Gentleman......"

Tia smiled and waved vigorously at the two of them, then turned and ran away on two short legs.

"What a cute child...... the gentleman sighed, and then looked at Xiao Yi, still smiling: "There is a good saying, if you have nothing to do, you will not go to the Three Treasures Palace, and you must not have come to me to chat to pass the time." So...... You came to me, what's the matter? ”

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you a question." Xiao Yi said, closing the door and locking it.

“…… Yes? Seeing Xiao Yi's actions, the smile on the gentleman's face was no longer there, but was replaced by a bit of panic, "If there is anything, you just ask me directly, why lock the door?" Dry...... What are you doing? ”

Xiao Yi came directly to him and asked sharply, "Answer me!" What the hell are you a true gentleman!? ”

"A true gentleman?" The gentleman wondered, "Who else here calls himself a gentleman besides me?" ”

"I've seen Carl." Xiao also said: "He said that he didn't ask anyone to greet me yesterday because he thought I had only arrived today. So, you can't be the one you went to see because of Carl's request! And...... Carl also said that the gentleman he knew was dead, what was going on? You...... Who exactly? ”

“…… Yes? I'm already dead? The gentleman also showed a look of surprise and more doubt.

I don't know if he's pretending to be like this, or if it's real.

"That's weird." The gentleman muttered, "I did learn about you from Dr. Karl before I went to meet you. But, in your opinion, Karl is telling you that there is no such thing, and that I am already dead. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yi continued: "Carl, he guesses that you are an impostor who deliberately disguises himself as a gentleman, so what is going on, hurry up and recruit from the truth." ”

"I'm pretending to be a gentleman?" The gentleman couldn't help but smile, "Why should I disguise myself as myself?" In this way, I am quite famous in the local area, why don't we go and ask a few random people, and then we will know if I am really a gentleman? ”

“……”

Seeing that the gentleman was very confident, Xiao Yi knew that it was useless to ask for verification......

"That's ......" But at the same time, the doubts in Xiao Yi's heart also increased, "Your words don't match at all, then, there must be someone who lied." ”

"Hmm......" The gentleman pondered for a moment, and then suggested a possibility, "Mr. Xiao Yi, is there a possibility, in fact, no one lied to you, but what you heard, Dr. Carr's remarks about my death are actually your hallucinations?" ”

"You say...... What? ”

Hearing the gentleman's words, Xiao Yi's pupils suddenly contracted!

Xiao Yi immediately denied it: "That's impossible! Almost all of my conversations with Carl yesterday were based on this premise! How could that be fake! ”

Xiao also thinks that it can never be real, because the hallucinations can't last that long!

Otherwise, not only the dialogue, but everything Xiao Yi experienced yesterday may be an illusion......

But the gentleman said, "If this is not the case, how can this be explained?" There is so much evidence that I am a gentleman and that I am alive, and this club itself is one of them. And there's no need for Dr. Carl to tell you such an easy lie, right? If it's not a hallucination, how can we explain it? Or is it ...... Are you trying to say that everything you see in front of you, what you see in front of me, is your own illusion? ”

“……”

Xiao Yi was silent.

He...... It's a little hard to tell what is reality and what is illusion.

The gentleman couldn't help but sigh, "Although it may be a bit self-conscious to say this, but ...... I seem to be able to understand a little bit of your feelings, and this situation is really uncomfortable. Anyway, there's only one piece of advice I can give, and that's to go to Carl and ask for clarification. ”

“…… Do you want me to ask again? ”

This time, not only did I not gain anything, but it made me question more, and I had to repeat this action again?

Xiao Yi felt depressed and irritable in his heart...... But more than that, it's exhaustion.

Then, he remembered that he was going back to see Carl anyway, and it wasn't too much trouble, and he felt a little more comfortable.

The gentleman continued, "I would love to go with you, but unfortunately I have something to do this afternoon and evening...... Tomorrow, I'll visit Dr. Carl's clinic early tomorrow morning and make everything clear, so that you don't get stuck with it anymore. ”

“…… Okay, too. Xiao Yi sighed helplessly.

"Then it's decided." Then the gentleman said, "By the way, I still have some time, so why don't we have lunch together?" ”

"Eat." As soon as he heard this, Xiao Yi suddenly came to his senses, "If someone invites me to dinner, then I must have no reason to refuse!" ”

"Thanks for the light, then, I'll call someone to bring the chef over......"

The gentleman was about to call someone, but before that, Xiao Yi stopped him.

Xiao Yi said: "Since the chef didn't come, then let me cook, it just so happens that I also want to cook a meal to change my mood." ”

“…… Oh? The gentleman was surprised, "It turns out that you still know how to cook, so let me see it." ”

"Hmmm! Leave it to me! Guaranteed to keep you satisfied! Xiao Yi said confidently.

In the live broadcast room, everyone who was still thinking about it because of that strange situation suddenly made their brains blank when they heard Xiao Yi's words.

[Quack! I don't want to look at this! 】

[It's getting lost and cooking, this copy of my mother is really a blood pressure bureau! ] 】

[I hope that the satisfaction he is talking about does not mean ascension.] 】

Then, Xiao Yi began to show off his amazing cooking skills, and the gentleman watched with interest.

Xiao Yi said while operating: "First of all, heat the pot to the point of smoking, and then pour in the cold oil, so that the pot is not easy to stick, this is the skill of hot pan cold oil." ”

"Oh...... Learned. The gentleman nodded thoughtfully.

[At least there's nothing wrong with this step, but the next step is ...... I can't say it. 】

"So, an egg." Then, Xiao also picked up two eggs with one hand.

Just when everyone thought that Xiao Ye was going to perform the high-end skill of beating eggs with one hand, they saw Xiao Yi directly throw two eggs into the pot.

Two round eggs were rolling in the pot.

"Look." Xiao Yi said: "It's not sticky at all, right? ”

Gentleman: "...... Yes? ”

【…… Yes? 】

[One thing to say, it's really not sticky. Could he be a genius? 】

[But, how do you eat this?] I've only seen whole eggs boiled, but I've never seen whole eggs scrambled? Can this be eaten? 】

Subsequently, I saw Xiao Yi shovel down, directly break the eggs, and then shovel out the eggshells.

"Then, stir-fry two or three hundred and fifty-six times, and a plate of grass eggs is complete, it's easy, right?"

[Ah, this ......]

"......" The gentleman looked at Xiao Yi with the corners of his mouth twitching, and asked, "Who taught you to cook like this?" ”

"Any questions?" Xiao also asked rhetorically.

"There must be a problem!" The gentleman was a little nervous, and shouted, "How can anyone just throw the whole egg down?" ”

"Oh~" Xiao Yi understood what he meant, "It turns out that I haven't handled eggs, it's really hypocritical, okay, just do it again, you can't do it." ”

Xiao Yi said, took out two more eggs, took them to rinse and washed, then put them on the cutting board and chopped them a few times, and then poured the mixture of eggshells and egg liquid into the pot.

"That's all right, right?"

Gentleman: "......"

【……】

Then, everyone fell silent.
