441 Goodbye forever, Shi Xiaobai (1/2)

Dawn's eyes lost its luster for a moment. Shi Xiaobai's explanation was reasonable, but it was too simple. How could a lie that could deceive her be so simple?

As Dawn continued thinking, she immediately thought of a critical problem. She hesitated for a moment before biting her lower lip and said, ”Then, how do you explain the red mole under the armpit?”

Shi Xiaobai said, ”That was just a stab in the dark. This King has obviously not seen what's under your right armpit, but have you really observed your right armpit before? A normal person would not do so, so you would not know if there is a red mole under your right armpit. Furthermore, it's impossible for you to take off your top in front of everybody and raise your right hand to verify if there was a red mole under your armpit. And the information This King said before that was a fact you knew. So you took it for granted that This King had said the truth, and that This King had really observed your right armpit. At the same time, you would lose your calm line of thought due to the flustered feelings of being peeped.”

Shi Xiaobai could not help but laugh. He had learned this trick only recently and he had already used it. That was because not long ago, the Infernal Queen had used this trick to deceive him. For him to be fooled with his intelligence, there was no reason for Dawn to not fall for it either.

Shi Xiaobai noticed how Dawn's eyes were torpid as he chuckled, ”Is the reveal of the riddles a bit disappointing? Do you feel that the answer is too simple and the methods are overly normal? After it loses the package of mystery, it becomes extremely meaningless?”

Typically, complicated magic would appear mysterious and profound to the audience that did not know the tricks. But once the tricks were revealed, they would realize that the principle behind it was very simple. It would result in people thinking that the magic was actually immature and meaningless.

Dawn's eyes seemed lost. She was indeed having such feelings.

But was this feeling really correct?

Was that complicated magic immature and meaningless?

W ere the means of lying to her to deceive her simple?

Dawn fell silent as she thought deeply. A strange look suddenly flickered in her ice-blue eyes. She slowly looked up at Shi Xiaobai and an undetectable glint flashed faintly in her eyes.

”Simple? You are being humble.”

Her lips that did not have any lipstick applied but remained clear and alluring suffused a faint smile for the first time. Dawn said with a smile, ”Being overly humble is more hateful than arrogance. The methods you mention sound simple, but it's not as simple carrying it out.”

”Everything relied on that ridiculous confession of yours from the beginning. That ten lifetime lie had perfectly explained the confession, and laid the foundations for the perfect lies that followed. To link the lies one after another, it is not something a typical youth can think of.”

”You firmly used your assumption, and from that hypothesis, resolve your questions. Once you had doubts about your hypothesis, everything would fall apart, but you remained resolute. You were not gambling but playing a game of wits. Because although you are a gambler, you are certain that you would win. Your psyche far exceeds normal people.”

”You proficiently used several psychological techniques, and the reasoning behind the lie was very simple. However, how it was used was crucial. And be it the way you used it or the timing when you used it was nearly perfect. This is not something you could do by following textbooks.”

”You progressed one level after another and closed in on it. Unknowingly, you had weaved a web of lies, and at the final moment, you dealt the fatal strike. No girl can remain calm after knowing that they had been peeped and seen naked, to the point of knowing that a private spot under the armpit had been seen. I similarly couldn't do it. You realized such a simple reasoning and perfectly used it.”

”Furthermore, it resonated with the ten lifetimes lie. The two lies proved each other, and two wrongs made it a right, causing it to turn into reality. And all of that stemmed from that confession. The first move you made laid the best foundation for the final move. To have thought so far with such tight logic, you are very impressive.”
