Mutated Tao

Who are they? What do they want? I am a Siming, so are they Simings too? How many Simings are there in the Baiyu Capital? What do they want?!

Li Huowang couldn’t differentiate between what was real and what was fake, so he was wary of everyone right now.

He was going to take out his knife to protect himself when he felt the cold press of metal on his back.

The cold metal crackled, and intense pain surged into his body from the electric shocks.

“Who’s attacking me?!” Li Huowang turned around with difficulty from the pain.

What awaited him was Yang Na’s crying face. She was crying as she took out another taser, pushed it into Li Huowang’s clothes, and pressed the button.

“It’s you?! Why?”

Yang Na bit her lips. She had to do this because Li Huowang was ill again. If she didn't stop him now, he could end up killing people on the streets.

If he did that, he would be locked up forever.

Yang Na originally got a taser not to fight enemies but to prevent Li Huowang from doing anything stupid if his illness were to strike again.

The two of them locked eyes. Li Huowang's lips trembled as the taser continued to shock him. “Wait, stop a moment.”

Yang Na's sadness and the intense pain slowly pulled Li Huowang out of his bewilderment.

But she refused. She continued to press the buttons on both tasers to shock Li Huowang. She refused to stop until he was unconscious.

“I said stop!” Li Huowang grabbed Yang Na’s hands for a brief moment. The electrical current surged into Yang Na briefly. She yelped and dropped the tasers.

Li Huowang picked up the tasers and held her in his embrace. She was already slumping over from the shock.

“I’m fine. I’m fine,” Li Huowang repeated. It wasn't clear if he was trying to calm himself down or calm Yang Na down.

The two of them hugged. The crowds were disappointed by the lack of action, so they lowered their phones.

“Hey lady, are you alright? Is he threatening you? Do you know this scarred man? Do you want us to call the police?” Several youths came forward to check on her.

Yang Na cried as she placed her face into Li Huowang’s embrace. “It’s fine. I’m his girlfriend. We were just breaking up.”

The crowd heard that it was just a lover’s quarrel. They lost interest and scattered in a flash.

Li Huowang hugged Yang Na and stumbled towards the stairs. He entered the tattoo shop again to place her on the sofa.

The Ba siblings didn’t chase them away. Instead, they temporarily closed their doors and stopped receiving customers.

Li Huowang’s body was still twitching occasionally, a side effect of the electric shocks. But there was a bigger problem that he had to consider. He was still confused.

“Is everything fake? If you’re fake, then whose projection are you? Why are you so real despite being fake?” Li Huowang looked at Yang Na’s tearful eyes and felt his heart ache from seeing Yang Na’s worried gaze.

He kissed her. He wanted to know what was real or fake.

He didn’t want to care if he was a projection or not. He only cared about whether Yang Na was the same Yang Na that had stayed up late at night on the rooftop to look at the stars with him.

One of the Ba siblings kicked the sofa. “Why the hell are you kissing so passionately? Do you want to get naked and give us a good show? Do you need a condom?”

Li Huowang stood up suddenly and looked at Ba Nanxu. “Stop pretending! What did you mean just now? Who stole something from me? And is this world real or not? You wanted to turn me into your Twisted One, didn’t you? Then tell me what is happening, and I will be your Twisted One!”

Li Huowang refused to accept this as reality because if it really was a projection, his parents, Yang Na, and even his experience of being discharged were all fake.

If he really transmigrated, he would never be able to get back. Everything he knew would be gone forever.

Ba Nanxu chuckled. “Well, it seems I was mistaken. You are much crazier than Qing Wanglai. It’s a good thing you found him.”

With a flash of steel, Li Huowang unsheathed both of his knives and snarled, “Tell me everything, Ba-Hui! I still haven’t paid you back for all the suffering you caused me!”

Ba Nanxu scoffed and threw the cigarette onto the ground. “You want to threaten me with a knife? Do you even realize that when you were just a baby, I was already burying people? Your little tricks won’t scare me.”

“Stop pretending! I’ve already recognized your gaze! You are Ba-Hui!”

“Who said I’m pretending? Also, put down the knife! One, two, three!”

Li Huowang heard the sound of the wind whooshing and sensed the impending danger. He dropped to his knees, narrowly avoiding being hit in the head by a colossal glass cabinet. He would’ve died if that had hit him.

The person who swung the glass cabinet was none other than Ba Shengqing!

Li Huowang turned and stabbed towards Ba Shengqing’s legs with his knife. Just then, he felt pain coming from his waist.

He didn’t turn back since he knew it was Ba Nanxu’s doing. Instead, he continued to stab his knife towards Ba Shengqing in an attempt to injure him. He wanted to wound them no matter what!

A sharp cry stopped both of them just as blood was about to be drawn. “AAAAA! Stop it!”

They turned around and saw Yang Na had sat up. She raised her phone high. “Qing Wanglai wants to talk to you! Stop fighting and just talk it out!”

Everyone slowly retreated.

Li Huowang touched his waist and pulled out a spike-like earring.

“Crazy bastard!” Ba Nanxu took the phone. “Hey, you’ve gotta be a fucking psycho to take in this lunatic. Did you know that I was going to find him, so you told him to cause some trouble for me?”
