Chapter 228 - Equality for Everyone (2/2)
Xiao Bin’s name was probably not his real name, but Wei Huo did not care too much about it. After they’d gotten familiar with each other, Wei Huo had not asked for his real name. He had only asked him why he was so careful that he did not dare say his real name.
Later, Xiao Bin had started explaining. He had said that he’d had a weird dream. He had dreamed that he had gone to the underworld and met a few ghosts there. He was very good at socializing and soon had gotten along well with them. They had asked him for his name, and Xiao Bin had told them his real name. However, things had turned out badly.
Upon hearing his name, the little ghosts had asked about Xiao Bin’s birth year and a few past events. In the end, the little ghosts had gotten furious and said, “You’re the black-hearted CEO of a company. You owed people their salaries and even paid to have people murdered. We will beat you to death!”
Confused, Xiao Bin had explained, “I’m only 10 years old. I’m still a student. I’m not the CEO of a company!”
The little ghosts had said, “That was when you were in your fifties. We’ll kill you now to prevent you from harming others in the future!”
Xiao Bin had woken up in shock and broken out into a cold sweat. He had been unable to calm down for a long time. From then on, he had warned himself not to reveal his real name when he went to an unfamiliar place.
Xiao Bin had believed that this dream had warned him about the future. His goal had been to prevent Wei Huo from saying his name under special circumstances. He had shared this dream with his two friends, but they had not believed him.
However, during the time halt, something unexpected had happened. They thought that they had transmigrated. Xiao Bin had suggested that people could not say their real names, and the other two had had no choice but to believe him. They had learned from Xiao Bin and changed their names.
Xiao Bin believed that he would become a powerful existence in the future. He was so powerful that he could go against time and send messages to his past self. After meeting Wei Huo, he had become more determined. That was why he had decided to follow Wei Huo and even become his disciple.
At first, Wei Huo had not believed Xiao Bin, but he did now. If someone understood the rules of time, they might be able to send a letter to his past self.
Perhaps Xiao Bin had come to Kunlun Mountain when he was older and suffered greatly on the seventh level. That was why he had sent a message to his past self.
The golden armor flipped through the Codex Revised Edition carefully and saw the rule that did not allow one to change their name. It then cursed. So the loophole is in the name. How could a staff member at that level mishear a name? How could my name be right and Wei Huo’s name be wrong?
Wei Huo had once again proved that any creature with a brain could not say his name. However, a brainless creature like the golden armor could say it. The world was really weird. It seemed like no one had said his name ever since he had become a Legendary creature.
Wei Huo closed the Codex Revised Edition and said, “It seems like I have to take this flawless Rule Equipment. It’s all thanks to the staff member who misheard my name.”
The golden armor took a closer look at the Codex Revised Edition. There were a few forbidden areas residents were not allowed to enter. Only powerful people or security personnel could enter those places. There was even a place only the incumbent registrar could enter. It seemed like that was the place where the Rule Equipment was hidden.
The golden armor said, “It seems like you’re the only one who can obtain this Rule Equipment. Our names have been recorded. We can’t step into that area.”
Wei Huo said, “There’s no hurry. There are still seven days left. Let’s collect some intelligence in the city. If you know thyself and your enemy, you will never be defeated. We don’t want a Legendary-level expert to suddenly appear.”
Upon hearing Wei Huo’s words, the golden armor thought of the law that forced one to get married at the age of 25. It then said, “Everyone is equal before the law. Let me get a wife first.”
