Chapter 1092: Chapter 510: Outmatched (Second Update)

Lawrence Winters looked at Daoist Wang’s WeChat message, and his eye twitched twice uncontrollably.

To be honest, the developments between Miss Tang and Mr. Yu were incredibly rapid, like the wind blowing from midsummer to winter.

Lawrence Winters felt he needed to pause and think carefully about this matter.

He didn’t reply to Daoist Wang’s WeChat, his mind was in a mess, constantly feeling something was off, but couldn’t pinpoint what exactly.

The sense of incongruity was overwhelming.

Especially now that a life was involved, she had to be extra cautious.

All the contestants were also very cautious, because in this competition, one of the clients was involved in a murder.

The host received instructions from Evan Stetford and immediately gathered the four contestants together, saying to them, "What do you all think about Miss Tang’s matter? The organizing committee wants us to think carefully if it has anything to do with us."

Mr. Zhuge had a serious expression on his face. He looked at Daoist Wang and Daoist Quan, saying, "You two took on Miss Tang’s commission, how about it? What are your thoughts?"

Daoist Wang and Daoist Quan looked at each other.

Daoist Quan gestured for Daoist Wang to speak first.

Daoist Wang had no choice but to speak with a pained expression, "We were always targeting Mr. Yu. We aimed to expose his infidelity and prove that he had indeed been irresponsible to Miss Tang’s mother... But before we could act, Miss Tang couldn’t bear it anymore and took action herself..."

Daoist Quan nodded and said sincerely, "Our skills aren’t as good as Mr. Zhuge’s."

At these words, Mr. Zhuge’s expression changed.

He asked in a deep voice, "Daoist Quan, what do you mean?"

"Mr. Zhuge’s execution of the ’Great Dream of Three Lives’ on Miss Tang caused her mental state to deteriorate. I think that’s what Daoist Quan means, right? Daoist Quan?" Lawrence Winters raised his eyebrows, interrupting to say.

Daoist Quan pursed his lips, picked up the teacup from the table, and took a sip, without raising his head, gave a light "hmm" to indicate that was indeed what he meant.

Lawrence Winters clapped his hands, focused on Mr. Zhuge, and said flatly, "But I really didn’t know that the ’Great Dream of Three Lives,’ which is only effective on non-humans, would have such a significant side effect on humans. — Mr. Zhuge, have you used this Celestial Path Skill on humans before?"

Mr. Zhuge hesitated slightly, his gaze drifting, not speaking immediately.

Lawrence Winters continued, "This needs to be truthful. If you lie, it will affect your Dao heart, and you won’t be able to use Celestial Path Skills in the future."

Mr. Zhuge: "..."

He averted his gaze, after a while, said, "...I haven’t used it on humans."

He emphasized the word "I," as if stressing something.

Lawrence Winters leaned forward slightly, his gaze sharper, "So Miss Tang is the first human on whom Mr. Zhuge used the ’Great Dream of Three Lives,’ correct?"

Mr. Zhuge was also a bit taken aback, murmuring, "...But, she’s clearly not human... "

Daoist Wang immediately got excited, "Why does Daoist Zhuge say Miss Tang is not human? But she clearly is! If she really wasn’t human, would she need such a sensational method to kill Mr. Yu?"

Lawrence Winters agreed, "Daoist Wang is right. If Miss Tang were really a non-human, she could have easily taken Mr. Yu’s life without anyone knowing, no need to make a scene."

"Moreover, as a violent, severe mental illness patient, once there’s a homicide, even if she doesn’t go to prison, she’ll be kept in the heavy-duty ward of a mental hospital for life, without any possibility of parole. That’s worse than prison, she might as well be dead." Lawrence Winters shook his head.

"It’s that serious?" Daoist Wang was shocked, opening his mouth wide, "Then she really can’t come out in the future? What if she gets cured?"

"Such severe mental illness generally can’t be cured. But if she’s one in a million, then it’s her luck, her mother must be looking over her." Lawrence Winters clasped his hands together, making a gesture of prayer.

Mr. Zhuge’s expression wavered, no longer as confident as before.

Lawrence Winters, Daoist Wang, and Daoist Quan all looked at Mr. Zhuge together, not forgetting their previous question.

"Mr. Zhuge, why do you insist that Miss Tang is a non-human? Also, if she’s human, does her mental state have to do with you using the ’Great Dream of Three Lives’ on her?" Lawrence Winters patted his phone, "Our Zhang faction also has records on the ’Great Dream of Three Lives,’ but it has never been said to work on humans."

"Our Celestial Path Sect spells should originally be targeted at mountains, rivers, and natural creatures, not ordinary people. Spells targeting ordinary people are Evil Techniques, not genuine Celestial Path Skills." Daoist Quan added.
