246 Chapter 245 : : The Mysterious Statue - 2 (1/2)

The stature gave off a real person like feeling but there were still some differences.

The main difference that made the statue look different from a living woman was that it was wholly made of a pure white marble-like material except the see-through cloth attached to it that was made from another unknown matter and… its size was three times bigger as a normal human woman.

Maybe it was just his imagination but when Rex looked at the statue, he felt a connection. He subconsciously wished to get closer to the statue but just at this time….

Rex snapped out of it and looked at him in slight anger.

Rex froze on the spot, he didn't doubt Jiang Shuang because when he checked his surroundings and he was indeed in the wrong place.

When Rex thought about what happened earlier he broke into cold sweat.

'Rose what were you doing? how can I be charmed by a statue to that extent and its when I have Calm Mind,' Rex hastily asked.

[You might not think of it but I was in the same condition as you, I wasn't able to process normally which means if your mind, soul, or sea of consciousness is affected then my working efficiency will be affected too. As for the matter of Calm Mind not working, it's too weird I just checked it and according to the information.

Whatever the stature did, it still didn't break any rules of Calm Mind, its means were somewhat unknown and it's better if you check you HP right now.]

'What do you mean by that? well, lets me just check it first,' (Rex)

'Status: HP' (Rex)

[HP: 630 P / 983 P]

'What the…. after fighting that old man I still had 700 Hp left, where did my 70 health points go? Rose you cheater, you are doing corruption here,' Rex felt like he was tricked.

[…]

'Okay, I was kidding I trust you, but seriously what type of damage was that? I don't have any wounds on my body, you were also not working so I am sure you didn't heal me and if Regeneration had healed me then I would have recovered my HP… wait I remembered, I finally remembered that feeling when I saw that status… it was fake love,' Rex exclaimed.

[Fake Love?]

'Well the love that's only based on interest, mostly on someone's body, for example, I saw a hot woman and I started perusing her because of her status, beauty, money or…etc but its mostly done when someone coverts for an opposite gender's beauty and body, for example, if I did it towards a woman then it would have nothing to do with her personality, her feelings towards me or her personality and just her body… in simple words it was Lust.

At that time I wasn't able to think rationally, I believe if it wasn't for my mental strength, memories of the time I spent little Ru and others, and lastly, the desire to know about her rather than just pouncing on her based on the primal instinct, if I had done that then it would have been hard for me to regain my consciousness.

[You are right, if the statue's charm attack was always that strong then he won't be able to survive unless he was a eunuch or had some weird taste.]

'Actually, there is one more explanation… what if the statue changes its charm attack's power depending on the target…. but still, was that old man qualified enough to pass the illusory trial of such a beauty? after seeing the nature of men here I didn't think they will pass on such opportunity… even when its illusion, why are you so quiet?' Rex said.

[Nothing special, it just felt a little weird when you were the one defining the nature of men.]

'You bastard, what do you mean by that if I didn't have principal then do you think I can't resort to violence to force others or brainwash them to do what I want? if I really become someone like that then its better for me to die, a life without principles is no different from the wild animals, what is the use being human….by heart at least.

Wild animals also eat, cultivate, mate, have families, it's not the race that makes the difference but the way of living, if you can't even restrain your urges and follow the principles then what's the use, and these type of things only bring temporary joy which doesn't last long but leaves many regrets behind.. as long as you are human that is,' Rex finished his lecture with that.

[You don't have to give the whole presentation you know, I know you more than anyone. What I meant is it's funny when you say it but I didn't say its wrong.]

Rex nodded in satisfaction but then he realized that Jiang Shuang was giving him a strange look for a while now, so he decided to put aside the matter of statue for now and headed towards the Monster Hunting Sect.
