440 Are you satisfied (2/2)
When Shi Xiaobai said up to that point, he said apologetically, ”Sorry, This King's goal was very simple. The approach to accomplishing the goal was a bit complicated. If it created confusion in you, This King can only say 'sorry'. Just as you are suppressing your killing intent to get This King to answer your questions, This King had similarly done a willful act in order to answer his doubts.”
”Willful?”
A smile suffused across Dawn's lips. ”You can be willful, but I cannot forgive. You wasted a great deal of time to explain your goal, but you did not directly answer my questions. I believe them. I believe that you said so many lies in order to verify a doubt you had on a whim. Then, can you be more serious and answer my questions?”
When Shi Xiaobai heard that, he shook his head helplessly and said, ”Aren't the answers you want to know already obvious? But since you aren't irked about This King being long-winded, This King will answer them one by one.”
”Why does This King know of the ideal woman in your mind? Actually, This King did not know. However, This King used an assumption. This King assumed that his guess was correct, Since the appearance of the blond woman in This King's mind was your future appearance, it meant that you would dress up in that manner in the future. Then, that blond woman's appearance should be your ideal look.”
”As one's ideal look isn't easily changed, This King only changed the way he said it. If you didn't strictly distinguish the ideal look from your ideal woman, you would subconsciously believe that This King had guessed your thoughts. That step was actually a bet because This King was only making an assumption as his premise, but fortunately, This King was right on his bet.”
”How does This King know the name of Lucifer's Sword? Although the sword spirit said that she did not know anything about her previous master, she was unable to withstand This King's repeated questioning. She eventually muttered the name of the sword to This King, so this was information that This King already knew. It was just used in a reasonable fashion.”
”Why does This King have a copy of Lucifer's Sword in his hand? There is probably no need to answer that.”
”Why was This King able to so confidently reveal that you are a girl in disguise? On that point, it was just a matter of following on. This King had used two pieces of information to make you have the illusion that 'this lie seems real, but the flaw had already been exposed'. You believed that there was a flaw because you felt that if there was an existence of a flaw, then the lie This King said had to be fake.”
”When one hears this, it might seem like you would refuse to believe This King's lies, but that's not how logic works. And it's because you deeply believe the existence of the flaw that you reduced your doubts of the other lies. If This King suddenly told you that the flaw you knew was not a flaw, and explained the biggest doubt, the other doubts you subconsciously had would fall like a pile of dominoes.”
”This King was not able to ascertain that you were a female disguised as a male, but since This King used an assumption, whatever This King did was firmly under the assumption's premise. Hence, This King was able to very confidently say the fact that you were a female disguised as a male. It was because it was the biggest flaw that it became the best evidence. It was also the final tactic!”
”That is the truth to the lie. Are you satisfied?”
Shi Xiaobai blinked his eyes like a playful child.IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said ””, but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
