Chapter 233 It’s all an illusion

Karl had already informed Xiao Yi of his address before.

No matter what, Xiao Yi felt that he needed to take a look at the situation.

So Xiao Yi immediately left Carl's clinic, followed the address given by Carl, and started walking in this strange town, trying to reach his destination.

Then, looking at Xiao Yi taking steps forward, there was another wailing in the live broadcast room.

【Quack! I don’t want to see this! 】

【Spare us! If we repeat yesterday's situation again, who can withstand it? 】

Xiao Yike couldn't hear those wailings. He just followed his intuition and moved towards the destination he thought he wanted without hesitation.

At the same time, Xiao Yi also remembered something.

"Speaking of which...it seems that the mother and daughter went there to work, right?"

According to Karl, that club was deserted and closed because the real gentleman was dead, so there was no need for a cleaner.

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

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

"Brother, we meet again!"

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

Tia was waving at him happily.

Then, they also came to Xiao Yi.

Biana smiled and said: "Hello, we meet again."

"...You're okay." Xiao Yi felt a little relieved when he saw that not only were they okay, but they also looked much better than yesterday.

"...Is everything okay?" Biana and Tia looked at each other in confusion, then looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "What's okay? Did something happen?"

Xiao Yi also asked immediately: "Let me ask you, how about the so-called...club?"

"Oh, that." Biana replied with a smile: "It's very nice there, and it's not troublesome to clean. Moreover, everyone in the club is very nice, and they won't be hostile to us because we are outsiders... Especially that gentleman, he is a really good person."

Tia also smiled at Xiao Yi and said, "Brother, are you worried that my mother's working environment is not good? Thank you for your concern, but you don't have to worry, our life is very good now."

The happy emotions shown on their faces are by no means fake.

Compared with the difficult living conditions before, their current life is unimaginable. Therefore, they are very grateful to the people who have saved them, especially the gentleman named Gentleman.

"This……"

However, Xiao Yi frowned.

Karl said that the club had been abandoned, but judging from the reaction of the mother and daughter, the club was still operating normally.

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

He thought that maybe the two clubs were not in the same place. The real club had been abandoned and the fake gentleman had opened another club.

I don’t know what purpose he had to achieve this, but... this possibility exists.

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

but……

"Huh? Of course, the address is..."

However, the address Biana gave was exactly the same as the address given by Karl.

In other words, there was no location trick, and the club that Karl said was abandoned was still in operation.

"..." Faced with this strange situation, Xiao Yi felt that he had to witness it with his own eyes.

Therefore, Xiao Yi said: "Is the gentleman in that club? I have something to do and I have to go find him now."

"Well, gentlemen are usually there." Biana said with a smile: "I happen to be going to work there too, let's go together."

"Yeah...that's fine."

Although everyone in the live broadcast room was also confused by the fact that the two sides' statements were completely inconsistent. But...when they saw Xiao Yi heading to the club with the mother and daughter, the doubts in their hearts were immediately washed away by joy.

Because they no longer have to watch Xiao Yi get lost.

The live broadcast room was filled with gratitude to the mother and daughter.

……

After a while, Xiao Yi came directly to this so-called gentleman's stronghold without taking any detours.

What Xiao Yi saw was not a situation where people were leaving the building empty, but a situation where people were constantly coming in and out.

It is operating normally here.

"Let's go, brother." Tia held Xiao Yi's hand, "Mom has to go to work, I will take you to see that gentleman."

"oh oh."

The situation at hand could only be answered by confronting the gentleman head-on, so Xiao Yi allowed Tia to pull him away.

And her mother warned: "Remember not to lose etiquette in front of that gentleman."

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

After Tia said that, she took Xiao Yi to the innermost room.

What was a little unexpected for the audience in the live broadcast room was that Xiao Yi was not hindered by anything, and there was no situation where the gentleman was not here.

He soon saw the gentleman again.

Generally speaking, it would be difficult to verify any strange phenomena that appear in the dungeon, but this time there was no obstruction or accident. This was something that no one expected.

"...Oh, isn't this Xiao Yi? I didn't expect you to come to me."

The gentleman was sitting at the desk in the room, with a vague and mysterious smile on his face.

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

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

"What a lovely child..." The gentleman sighed with emotion, and then looked at Xiao Yi, still smiling: "There is a saying that goes well, if you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace. You must not come to me just to chat and kill time. That's it. So...you came to me, what's the matter?"

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

"...Huh?" Seeing Xiao Yi's actions, the smile on the gentleman's face stopped and was replaced by a bit of panic, "If you have anything to do, just ask me directly. Why do you have to lock the door? Why... What did you do?"

Xiao Yi came directly to him and asked sternly: "Answer me! What kind of real gentleman are you!?"

"A true gentleman?" The gentleman asked doubtfully, "Who else here calls themselves a gentleman besides me?" "I saw Karl." Xiao Yi said, "He said he didn't ask anyone to greet me yesterday. Because he thought I had just arrived today. So, you couldn’t have gone to see me because of Karl’s request! Moreover… Karl also said that the gentleman he knew was dead. What on earth is going on? You… …Who exactly is it?”

"...Huh? Am I already dead?" The gentleman also showed a look of surprise and confusion.

I don't know if he is pretending to be like this or if he is really doing it.

"That's strange." The gentleman mused: "I did learn about you from Dr. Karl before I went to greet you. However, in your opinion, Karl told you that there was no such thing. And he said I was already dead."

"Yes." Xiao Yi continued: "Karl, he guessed that you are a fake pretending to be a gentleman, so let's find out what is going on and find out what's going on."

"I'm pretending to be a gentleman?" The gentleman couldn't help but smile, "Why should I pretend to be myself? Well, I'm fairly well-known in the local area. Why don't we just ask a few people to find out if I'm a gentleman?" Are you really a gentleman?"

"..."

Seeing the gentleman's confident look, Xiao Yi knew that it was useless to ask for confirmation...

"Then..." But at the same time, Xiao Yi's doubts grew more and more, "What you said doesn't match up at all, so one of you must have lied."

"Well..." The gentleman thought for a moment, and then raised a possibility, "Mr. Xiao Yi, is there a possibility that no one actually lied to you? It's just what you heard about Dr. Carl's remarks about me being dead. Are your remarks actually all your hallucinations?"

"What did you say?"

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

Xiao Yi immediately denied it: "That's impossible! Almost all the conversations I had with Karl yesterday were based on this premise! How could that be false!"

Xiao Yi believes that it can never be true, because the hallucination cannot last that long!

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

However, the gentleman said: "If this is not the case, how can this situation be explained? There are too many evidences that can prove that I am a gentleman and that I am still alive. This club itself is one of the evidences. Moreover, Dr. Carl has not Do I need to tell you such a lie that can be easily broken, right? If it is not an illusion, how can I explain this? Or... do you want to say that everything you see in front of you, and the me you see, are Is it your own hallucination?”

"..."

Xiao Yi fell silent.

He...has become somewhat unclear about what is reality and what is illusion.

The gentleman couldn't help but sigh, "Although saying this may be a bit self-aware, but... I seem to understand a little bit of your mood. This situation is indeed uncomfortable. In short, there is only one suggestion I can give, Then go find Karl and ask him."

"...You want me to ask again?"

Not only did he gain nothing this time, but it also made him have more questions, and he also had to repeat such an action again?

Xiao Yi felt depressed and irritable...but more importantly, he felt tired.

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

The gentleman continued: "I really want to go with you, but unfortunately, I have something to do from this afternoon to the evening... Tomorrow, I will go to Dr. Carl's clinic early tomorrow morning to visit me. Let’s make everything clear so that you won’t be troubled by this anymore.”

"...That's okay." Xiao Yi sighed helplessly.

"Then it's decided." The gentleman added, "By the way, I still have some time, why not have lunch together?"

"Let's eat." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi suddenly became energetic, "If someone invites you to eat, then I definitely have no reason to refuse!"

"Thank you for the honor. Then, I will ask 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 is not here, let me cook. I just want to cook to change my mood."

"...Oh?" The gentleman said in surprise: "It turns out that you also know how to cook. Then you must show me."

"Well! Leave it to me! I guarantee that you will be satisfied!" Xiao Yi said confidently.

In the live broadcast room, everyone who was still thinking about the strange situation was so frightened that their minds went blank when they heard Xiao Yi's words.

【Quack! I don’t want to see this! 】

[Being lost and cooking, this dungeon of my mother is really a blood pressure problem! 】

[I hope that when he talks about satisfaction, he doesn’t mean ascending to heaven. 】

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

Xiao Yi said while operating: "First heat the pot to the point of smoking, then pour in cold oil, so that the pot will not stick easily. This is the technique of hot pot and cold oil."

"Oh... I learned it." The gentleman nodded thoughtfully.

[At least there is no problem with this step, but the next step is... I can’t say. 】

"Then, let's fuck an egg." Then, Xiao Yi picked up two eggs with one hand.

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

Two round eggs were rolling in the pot.

"Look." Xiao Yi said, "It's not sticky at all, is it?"

Gentleman: "...Huh?"

【……ah? 】

[One thing to say, it is indeed not sticky. Is he really a genius? 】

[But, how to eat this? I have only seen boiled whole eggs, but never scrambled whole eggs? Is this edible? 】

Then, Xiao Yi shoveled down the pot, broke the eggs directly, and then shoveled the eggshells out.

"Then, stir-fry a few more times, and a plate of grass-fed eggs is ready. It's easy, right?"

【Ah this...】

"..." The gentleman's mouth twitched as he looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Who taught you to cook like this?"

"Is there any problem?" Xiao Yi asked.

"There must be something wrong!" The gentleman couldn't hold himself any longer and shouted loudly, "How could anyone just drop the whole egg?"

"Oh~" Xiao Yi understood what he meant, "It turns out that I think I haven't handled eggs before. It's really hypocritical. It doesn't matter. I just do it again. I can't do anything to you."

As Xiao Yi spoke, he took out two more eggs, rinsed them with water, chopped them a few times on the cutting board, and then poured the mixture of eggshells and egg liquid into the pot.

"Is this okay?"

gentleman:"……"

【…】

Then, everyone fell silent.
