I'm not just human!

Chapter 484 Xia Fa's Astounding Wisdom!

"It seems the only option now is to try and hide in the villa with [Temporary Reality] for the time being."

Perhaps because the unfamiliar memories had a smaller impact, Xia Fa's eyes flashed, and he had already thought of a new method.

Upon hearing this, both the Paradox Clown and the Moon Goddess's eyes lit up, finding it quite feasible.

Previously, the three of them had oversimplified things, thinking that as long as they blocked the door for [Brief Reality], they could stall for more than twenty minutes.

Unexpectedly, when those five hundred-plus humanoid monsters went berserk, they were even able to knock down the wall of the small kitchen!

Therefore, last time I didn't think I would need to hide around with [Temporary Reality]. In fact, blocking the door of the small kitchen would be the safest option, but now that method is no longer feasible.

Without further ado, Xia Fa led the way, and the three of them went straight into the villa's yard, where they each pulled out three shovels from the pond that was filled with mud.

This time, Xia Fa and the other two had almost perfected their teamwork. Xia Fa and the Paradox Clown positioned themselves on either side, lying in ambush outside the villa's red-lacquered gate. The Moon Mother stepped forward, lifted her long leg, and kicked the gate open with a surprisingly dashing air.

It's clear that, perhaps because she might be trapped here for life, the Moon Goddess has become somewhat anxious. Normally, she would have pushed it with her hands.

Without any further exchange, Xia Fa and the Paradox Clown exchanged a knowing glance, then flipped over and rushed in from behind the door, simultaneously wielding shovels to clear a path to the small kitchen.

Two muffled thuds rang out one after the other, followed by the sound of someone falling to the ground. Xia Fa and the other two were stunned.

Inside the villa, there were no longer more than a hundred or so humanoid monsters swaying around, but more than five hundred!

That's right, all the humanoid monsters that were hiding in the guest rooms have somehow come out, and the villa lobby is so crowded that there's hardly any room to stand.

That's why, when Xia Fa and [Paradox Clown] each shoveled down the humanoid monster in front of them, they also knocked down several others at the same time.

All three instinctively looked towards the small kitchen, but at the same time felt despair.

The reason was that the humanoid monsters were crammed together from the living room door to the small kitchen. Although they weren't about to start banging on the door or the wall right away, judging from their suppressed breathing and dripping saliva, these humanoid monsters were about to lose their patience.

Perhaps the commotion was too great, because almost the next moment, more than five hundred humanoid monsters turned their heads to look over, their lifeless gray eyes flashing with a terrifying red light.

roar!!!!!

"Get to the guest rooms on the south side first, run!"

The humanoid monsters raised their arms and pounced on Xia Fa and his companions like zombies. Fortunately, they weren't too fast. Xia Fa immediately noticed that the humanoid monsters were sparsest in the guest rooms on the south side, with only a dozen or so. After a loud shout, he led the way.

[Paradox Joker] Following closely behind, the two brothers wielded their shovels, repelling all the humanoid monsters that pounced on them. Even the Moon Goddess swung her shovel with her frail arms, defeating the humanoid monsters that the two brothers couldn't attend to.

The three fought and retreated, as if they had carved a path through the crowd, and finally arrived at the guest room.

Fortunately, there was a key on the door lock of the guest room. The Moon Goddess quickly turned the doorknob and stepped aside, gesturing for the two to go in first.

In this extremely critical moment, Xia Fa and the Paradox Clown naturally didn't have time to be modest anymore. They rushed in, and the instant they entered, Xia Fa turned around and grabbed the Moon Mother Goddess's fair and delicate arm, pulling her in as well.

Outside the door behind the three, those humanoid monsters with glowing red eyes were lunging at them with bared teeth and claws. With a "bang," the door slammed shut.

"call-"

[Paradox Joker] let out a long breath. Although they didn't even get to see [Brief Reality] this time, it was still quite an achievement to escape from those five hundred or so insane humanoid monsters.

This is, after all, a special zone created by the spiritual world of the [Temporary Reality] combined with the Promised Land; it doesn't belong to the three of them. If they die here, they will truly die.

"Fortunately, we retain our memories from each reset. We estimate that we only have a few minutes before we're pinned down and torn apart by the humanoid monster again in this 'brief reality.' Let's think of something quickly."

The Moon Goddess spoke, appearing unusually calm, and already mentally prepared for the next reset of the Promised Land.

"I really didn't expect all these humanoid monsters to come out this time. It seems that their behavior patterns are not fixed, and they are as unpredictable as hungry beasts." The Paradox Joker pondered, his gaze becoming more and more serious.

Xia Fa did not speak, but instead began to observe the guest room.

Exquisite sheer curtains, high-end mahogany furniture, and a soft velvet bed—a multi-tiered dessert platter sits on a nearby cabinet.

However, the small cakes on the dessert plate were expired and rotten, only the chocolates looked edible, and there was a half-empty bottle of red wine next to the plate.

Suddenly, a banging sound came from outside the door. Without a doubt, it was those hungry humanoid monsters who could no longer resist banging on the door, their monstrous hearts driven by their thirst for fresh flesh.

Xia Fa narrowed his eyes slightly, walked straight into the bathroom of the room, and turned on the tap.

With a "whoosh," a small stream of water mixed with mud was released, but it stopped immediately, leaving only a few drops of water dripping.

Clearly, just as described in "Temporary Reality," the wells above ground seem to be blocked, resulting in a general lack of water supply in these guest rooms.

Suddenly, with a loud "bang," the door to the guest room was also kicked open. The Paradox Joker immediately raised the shovel in his hand to meet the monster that rushed in.

Xia Fa also rushed over, shovel in hand, but his furrowed brows had relaxed. He simply said in a low voice, "I have a guess, but we don't have enough time. Let's try resetting next time."

The Paradox Joker's eyes lit up: "What guess?"

Xia Fa smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out soon enough."

As they chatted, they blocked the doorway, casually using a shovel to knock out the humanoid monsters that rushed in. At the same time, their gazes passed over the humanoid monsters piled up at the doorway and headed towards the direction of the small kitchen.

Sure enough, more humanoid monsters were already ramming against the red-painted door of the small kitchen. In less than ten seconds, [Brief Reality] would suffer another blow.

Xia Fa sighed inwardly. He had previously tried to use the burning sensation in his heart meridian and the strange current in his spine, since these had helped him ignore the effects of the suppression of his rank in the Land of Rising Stars.

But he soon discovered to his surprise that, after being restored to an ordinary person by the rules of time, he could no longer use the burning sensation in his heart and the strange current in his spine!

It hasn't disappeared; rather, it's in a state where it hasn't been activated.

In other words, even the "time rules" in the Promised Land, the most dangerous place in the gray fog of time, where even a true god could be trapped for more than ten thousand years if he was not careful, could not restore the burning sensation in his heart and the strange current in his spine to a temporary disappearance; they were still there.

However, because I was restored to the state of an ordinary person and did not even experience the first physical training, these two aspects were not activated.

As for training my body right now—that's unlikely. I'd have to do at least a few dozen push-ups, and by the time I finish, the Promised Land will have to be reset.

Suddenly, a scream of "Brief Reality" came from the small kitchen, and then time froze again.

This time, however, the three of them could not see the brief restoration of the divine status of [Brief Reality]. They could only sense the supreme and grand aura emanating from the small kitchen, and then everything around them blurred again.

The three reappeared outside the gate of the villa.

That unfamiliar memory resurfaced from the depths of his heart once again. This time, the Paradox Clown did not collapse to the ground clutching his head in pain, nor did the Moon Mother Goddess lean against the tree to suppress her inner turmoil. Even Xia Fa appeared perfectly normal.

The three of them suddenly started chatting and laughing, looking relaxed and happy, and pushed open the villa door.

"By the way, is it possible that we'll actually awaken a mutation this time?" Xia Fa looked at the two of them expectantly.

"Maybe, I heard that at a potion party next door, a manor owner over fifty years old awakened a mutation, and it was a high-level mutation, the Heavenly Ice Thunder Ball!" Paradox Joker said with a face full of envy.

"The Heavenly Ice and Lightning Orb? I don't want that. I just want a Wood Element mutation, so I can stay young for at least thirty years!" The Moon Mother Goddess's tone was just like that of a lively young girl.

Suddenly, all three of them stopped in their tracks, their faces showing a complex mix of surprise and disbelief.

Several seconds later, the majestic gaze of the Paradox Clown returned to its original state beneath the clown mask, followed by Xia Fa and the Moon Mother Goddess, who both regained consciousness.

"I can no longer feel the pain of being confused and disoriented by unfamiliar memories, and I think you feel the same way. That's the most terrifying thing—"

【Paradox Joker】Speaks with lingering fear, during the second reset, in order to resist the influence of unfamiliar memories, the body will instinctively produce pain, just like it is about to lose control.

However, it is precisely because of this pain that people realize that these are memories that do not belong to them.

Now, the three of them have completely transformed into the people corresponding to those unfamiliar memories, without even realizing it at first.

This subtle, gradual alteration of self-perception is actually the most terrifying thing.

"Fortunately, this is only the third reset, not the fifth."

Xia Fa smiled and walked directly towards the area filled with shovels.

The Paradoxical Joker first followed, then asked, "What are we going to do?"

Xia Fa laughed and said, "It's very simple. Just dig up this soil. Of course, it has to be within three minutes, because after three minutes, [Brief Reality] will be pounced on and torn apart by those humanoid monsters again."

The Moon Goddess had already followed, and upon hearing Xia Fa's words, her eyes suddenly flashed, as if she realized something: "You mean—?"

All three were exceptionally intelligent individuals. Not only the Moon Goddess, but also the Paradox Clown immediately understood Xia Fa's meaning.

"Third brother, you don't actually think these humanoid monsters are afraid of water, do you?"

Xia Fa nodded slightly, and while leading the three of them to dig in the silt, he slowly said, "I felt something was wrong from the beginning. Why would a rich man fill in the pond in the yard with mud when he's hosting a potion party? This shows that it definitely wasn't the rich man who did it, and it's unlikely that the guests did it either."

"But at first, we couldn't deduce anything from just this one strange thing. In addition, after the 'Brief Reality' discovered the water outage, they mistakenly thought that the humanoid monsters liked water and blocked the underground wells, which led us astray."

"It wasn't until the last reset, when we broke into the guest room, that I realized something was wrong."

"The water coming out of the bathroom in that guest room was muddy."

"If these humanoid monsters really blocked the underground wells because they loved drinking water so much, then how could there be mud in the water that came into the pipes? Even scraps of clothing, hair, or skin from their feet would make more sense."

[The Paradox Joker], having heard this, already understood the gist: "So, you suspect that the underground well was actually blocked, but not by these humanoid monsters jumping in to drink water, but rather—they used shovels to dig in a large amount of soil and block it?"

Xia Fa nodded: "Yes! But why would they block up the underground well, and even this pond, for no apparent reason?"

The Moon Goddess pondered, "Therefore, the only explanation is—they are afraid of water."

Xia Fa smiled slightly: "That's exactly right."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soil beneath his feet was dug up, and with a whoosh, clear water gushed out.

Without Xia Fa saying anything more, the Moon Goddess trotted over and opened the mahogany door of the villa.

Xia Fa and the Paradox Clown casually picked up the scattered iron buckets, filled them with water, and rushed over.

The cool, refreshing mist made the two approach, and the swaying humanoid monsters trembled in unison, their numb faces showing fear and apprehension for the first time.

Seeing this, the three felt even more reassured. Paradox Joker was the first to act, splashing a bucket of water directly at the target.

The water sprayed in a fan shape onto the humanoid monsters, and screams immediately rang out. These humanoid monsters melted away as quickly as cotton candy soaked in water!

"You really did it! Third brother, you truly lived up to your reputation!"

[The Paradox Clown] let out an excited shout, completely losing the solemnity and majesty of a true god, instead resembling an excited young man.

Xia Fa smiled slightly, picked up the bucket, and walked straight to the door of the small kitchen where [Brief Reality] was located.

This time, the humanoid monsters avoided them like the plague, but Xia Fa showed no mercy, throwing out half a bucket of water, instantly causing more than a dozen humanoid monsters to disappear into the water.

The Paradox Clown and the Moon Goddess rushed to the pond, each carrying a bucket, and filled another bucket with water before joining Xia Fa.

"It seems that in just a few minutes we can eliminate all the humanoid monsters here and rescue [Temporary Reality], so—" Xia Fa looked at the two of them, seemingly asking if they needed to wait twenty minutes.

"Then let's not wait any longer, kill them quickly! Then awaken [Temporary Reality]!" The Moon Mother Goddess made a decisive decision, and a hint of excitement appeared on her beautiful face.
