MTLNOVEL Chapter 239: Desperate Reincarnation
"Little brother, turn your head around."
The sweet and cloying voice made it irresistible to sink into it, unable to extricate oneself.
"Eh? Aren't you Xu Pengfei? Heehee, what are you doing out here in the wilderness? Hurry home."
The sound of tinkling laughter made the young man's heart tremble twice.
So, my name is Xu Pengfei?
Yes, my name is Xu Pengfei.
A nameless sense of crisis made his heart beat rapidly, subconsciously choosing to believe the first line of text in the diary: Do not talk to them, just figure out a way to dominate a living person.
Ability—Dominance!
His eyes burst into red light.
He shouted loudly, "Who are you?!!"
Under the effect of the "Dominance" ability, the beautiful woman suddenly became dazed, her fox-like eyes dilated, dead-looking.
"I am... who am I..." The woman began to convulse, resisting the "Dominance" ability.
"Who are you! Tell me!" The red light in the young man's eyes flared up.
Something terrible happened.
Her mouth actually started to split open bit by bit, all the way to the back of her head!
But there was not a single drop of blood, and the whole person opened up like a zipper.
At this moment, the young man felt his scalp tingle, and he couldn't help stumbling back two steps.
"Who are you?!" He felt fear and frantically spurred his ability.
"I am... painted skin... little brother... you are Xu Pengfei." The human skin peeled off, and the mouth on the skin was still speaking.
The ability to "Dominate" was nearly at its limit.
"You're talking nonsense! I am not Xu Pengfei! I..."
The young man's heart swelled with endless panic, but he also knew he couldn't back down at this moment. In an instant, his blood surged, and he leaped forward, plunging a knife into that skin monster!
"Ah..."
The Domination ability was lifted!
The other party let out a piercing howl and cursed viciously, "You will forget everything, and you will commit suicide in guilt..."
The piece of human skin wrapped around him, intending to swallow him.
"Ah!!!
The young man picked up the cleaver, its red light shining with the Extraordinary Spark, and he let out a fierce roar.
He was actually a Level Four expert, a high-end combat force of the Mandala Empire.
A fierce battle ensued between the two.
In the end, the young man won the fight and chopped the opponent into mincemeat while still alive.
"Damn it, what is this thing."
His whole body trembled, heaving deep breaths, looking at the piece of skin, flat and smooth, almost identical to human skin.
And that female corpse, with features so obscured as though digested, was unrecognizable.
An invisible fear spread through his body like electricity.
The fine sense of panic made him feel utter despair, "The Mandala Empire is really gone... "
He recorded a piece of text: [The Empire was truly destroyed by the parasitic monsters.]
[A type of skin monster, I barely managed to kill one.]
[I... am I Xu Pengfei?]
He wrote down this sentence, then shook his head vigorously, striking through the line of text.
An unseen force influenced his thoughts, disturbing his mind.
It was as though the monster's nonsensical words were all true.
[I'm increasingly feeling like I am Xu Pengfei. Damn, who is Xu Pengfei?]
He dug a hole on the spot and buried the body in it.
Then, in just a moment, he found he was starting to forget what had just happened; he could hardly remember the woman's face anymore.
"I am Xu Pengfei."
"I have done wrong, I should commit suicide..."
He muttered to himself, picked up the knife, and thought about slitting his own throat.
But the last vestige of his will to live made him persevere, as clarity and confusion entangled, creating a chaos.
"Damn it," he threw a punch, hammering his forehead with a thud, using the pain to slightly clear his mind.
He vaguely understood the monster's ability.
Everything the monster said, he would immediately believe!
When the monster told him he was Xu Pengfei, he believed he was Xu Pengfei.
When the monster said he "would forget everything and commit suicide in guilt," he now thought about slitting his throat to kill himself.
This kind of power was almost unstoppable!
It could be called "The Truth of Lies."
"No good, I will soon completely lose my memory and then commit suicide... I must record this quickly."
The parchment had hardly any space left to write on, so he could only crawl into a random tree hollow he found.
He scribbled something on the bark with a small knife, sweating profusely.
Then, he took out a mirror, his eyes emitting a red glow, and dominated himself.
"No suicide allowed!"
Two streams of spiritual power tangled and collided in his mind, creating a massive psychic tsunami!
His eyes bulged, and he promptly passed out.
...
When the young man woke up next time, he only remembered his name as "Xu Pengfei."
Hiding inside a cramped tree hollow.
Having lost all his memories.
It was raining outside, and there was a bloody smell on him.
Next to him lay the parchment with chaotic information and the scrawled words on the tree hollow.
"Another desperate cycle of Reincarnation..."

"I might have been through many similar cycles already."
"Fortunately, each time, I managed to escape the crisis, but who knows how many days I can survive?"
"My condition is dreadful, and I might be the only living person left in the whole world."
"Oh, right, the name Xu Pengfei is probably also false, but that's not important, let's just go with Xu Pengfei."
"Listen, the Mandala Empire has been destroyed... The name of that monster is Painted Skin... They possess the power of lies."
"Kill people on sight, don't let them say a word."
"Believe me, you've already killed many of them."
"But there are too many monsters, better to run away. (The writing becomes messy here, indistinct with diminishing clarity.)"
"Xu Pengfei" looked at these lines of text, completely at a loss—what was this all about?
"Kill people on sight? Are things really that bad?"
"Run? But where to?"
While saying this, he felt an indescribable sense of eeriness and despair—he seemed to have no choice but to believe the information above.
Perhaps it was this powerful Sixth Sense that had saved him from one terrifying crisis after another.
"This is so fucking weird... I'm Xu Pengfei, but who are my parents? Why can't I remember their names?"
Lies are after all just lies, they cannot cover every thought.
But the lies are like mental imprints, firmly nailed into his mind, and he could not forget them no matter what.
Just as he began to doubt, a great rumbling came from the distance!
He quickly climbed up a large tree and watched, dumbstruck, as a city flew into the center of a lake and settled steadily in place.
"Snap!" He slapped his own face to make sure he was not dreaming.
"What is this now... Immortals from Heaven Palace?"
...

(PS: A new storyline begins, I'm organizing the outline, so there will be fewer words these two days.)
