Chapter 475 The Immortal’s Holiday (3) Continued
"I like you! Be my girlfriend."

"I'm sorry, but I don't like ugly people unless you are a multi-millionaire."

"If I get plastic surgery to become more handsome, will you like me?"

“How much do you plan to spend on plastic surgery?”

"I have 17 in my card, and I can spend 5 on plastic surgery."

"Give me 150,000 and I can stay with you for a week."

"Too expensive, bye!"

"Don't leave. One month! One month will be enough."

……

After watching an episode of the latest romance drama on a movie and TV APP, Lu Ang finally confirmed that something was wrong with this world.

It seemed that everyone in this world was telling the truth, and no one's words appeared to be false in the Eyes of Delusion.

Of course, they could choose not to answer, they could be more tactful, or they could only tell part of the truth, but without exception, it was all the truth.

Lu Ang tried it a few more times with the waiter in the nearby cafe and found that as soon as he tried to lie, the previous sense of danger that he had foreseen would reappear, making him terrified.

So, it is basically certain that this is a world where lies cannot be made.

The people here may not have the keen foresight of danger like a Yuanying Zhenjun, but through the teachings and deeds of their ancestors from generation to generation, and the constant deaths, they have naturally evolved the good habit of not lying, which has continued to this day and has developed into such an honest modern civilization.

In a sense, this is indeed a peaceful and safe holiday world. As long as you don't lie within seven days, if you are questioned or inquired, just keep silent. There will be no problem in getting through it safely and enjoying peace.

However, Lu Ang looked at the apparently clear blue sky and couldn’t understand where this rule of not lying came from.

Why did such a rule appear out of nowhere? And why was it so powerful and threatening to me?

This is obviously a very ordinary world without any extraordinary things, why is there such a rule?

Unable to figure it out, Lu Ang put away his notebook, walked out of the cafe, and walked around the shopping mall next door.

Maybe it was because it was the weekend, the mall was crowded with people, many of whom were talking and laughing loudly, and it felt like the whole social atmosphere here was still very positive.

Business in each store is also very good. The communication time when buying things is very short. If you like something, you like it; if you don’t like it, you don’t like it; if you can afford it, you can afford it. There is no bargaining. The whole transaction process is very short and efficient.

I think in such a world where lies cannot be made, there shouldn't be any inferior products being sold as good ones. Looking at the various commodities in the store, whether it is clothing or cosmetics and jewelry, the prices are all very affordable. I didn't see any luxury items with extremely exaggerated prices.

Come to think of it, if you can't lie, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to create the air of luxury goods through various marketing and legendary stories. After all, the materials are just the same materials, and the craftsmanship is just the same craftsmanship. You can tell the difference by just asking a few questions, and it is impossible to sell at a high price.

Just strolling around, Lu Ang began to feel a little bored.

These ordinary worldly goods had no appeal to him and he had no desire to buy them. As for the most important film and television works, games and novels in the vacation world, he had experimented with them when surfing the Internet before, and they could only be viewed online and could not be downloaded. Even electronic games were the same, most of them required an internet connection to play. Without a doubt, he could not bring any of them back to the world of cultivation.

There was nothing much to say. This time he could only treat it as a complete vacation. Lu Ang left the mall, activated [Spatial Phase] and [Golden Light of the Earth] and began to appreciate the scenic spots of this world, cultivating his mood through the beautiful natural scenery.

I have to say that this is indeed a complete world with all kinds of terrain and landforms. After a few days of wandering around, Lu Ang saw many magnificent scenery and different cultural customs, which fulfilled his childhood dream of traveling around the world in his previous life, and even his tense nerves relaxed a little.

Time flew by as we toured the mountains and rivers, and soon it was the last day of the vacation.

Lu Ang didn't plan to run around anymore that day. He decided to do some experiments to test how well the truth-telling rule worked.

Fortunately, although the world is generally peaceful, there are also some war-torn areas where some warlord forces fight each other and compete for the supreme power of this country.

Lu Ang easily captured several soldiers who had killed women and children and took them to a deserted mountain.

Lu Ang first grabbed one of the thin men with a hooked nose and asked, "Who are you?"

This guy had long been frightened by Lu Ang's quick and easy method, and hurriedly replied: "I am Galante, the acting platoon leader of the fifth platoon of the third company of the Nahar Brigade, and I am carrying out a clearing mission..."

"No, you should say the words on it!" Lu Ang interrupted him rudely and handed him the paper he had already written: "The first word of each line! Read it out loud to me!"

The man with the ditch nose looked at the words on the paper for a while, with a puzzled look on his face: "I... am... but I am not the richest man in the world. The richest man in the world should be the head of the Luo family, the mysterious Mr. Luo whose name is unknown."

"I told you to read these four words together!" Lu Ang stopped talking nonsense, and a pistol flashed in his hand, pointing at his forehead.

"But I'm really not! Although no one has seen that Mr. Luo, you should know I'm not him by looking at my skin color." The hook-nosed man was sweating profusely due to anxiety, but he still spoke in an orderly manner.

Lu Ang didn't care about him and loaded the gun directly: "I'll count to three! Read!"

The hook-nosed man immediately pleaded: "I'm really not the richest man in the world! If I were, I would give you all my wealth!"

"three!"

"I admit that I am a bad person. I joined the army because I enjoyed the thrill of killing. I have loved killing small animals since I was a child."

"two!"

"Please spare me! I have hidden some gold and jewelry in an ammunition box in the camp. I can give them all to you."

"one!"

Begging was useless. The man with the hooked nose finally looked at the paper in front of him. His mouth opened and closed repeatedly for almost ten seconds, and he just breathed out air without uttering a word.

"Bang!" A hole appeared on his forehead and he fell limply to the ground.

Lu Ang looked at a soldier wearing a cap next to him and handed the paper to him: "You read it! I'll give you three seconds!"

The soldier was very courageous: "Kill me if you want! The revival of David's Kingdom is inevitable! I will not stop even if I kill more people! For David's Kingdom! I am not afraid of death!"

"Bah!"

Lu Ang didn't want to waste time and turned the gun and paper around again.

The last soldier's crotch was completely wet: "I'm not the richest man in the world. I... I've never been abroad since I was a child..."

"three!"

"I...I...I am...I really can't say it! Please let me go! Since I went to the battlefield, I have only killed five people! I have never killed a child! Please, please!"

"two!"

"I, I am... am... the world... Ha, ha, ha... Give me a break! I'm willing to tell you! Give me a break!"

"one!"

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at his eyebrows, and Lu Ang's eyes were cold and murderous.

“I’m the richest man in the world!”

The soldier gritted his teeth and spoke quickly, finishing his words in the blink of an eye.

He looked at the muzzle of the gun. Lu Ang put down the gun, and a look of joy appeared on his face: "Can you let me go back..."

Unfortunately, he had only said half of his words when the expression on his face suddenly froze. Then he lost his life, his eyes turned white, and he fell straight to the ground.

Lu Ang had already released his spiritual power to cover him in all directions, but according to the perception of the spiritual power, nothing entered. The soldier died silently and for no reason!

After carefully sensing it again, there was not even any fluctuation of the soul. It made people feel as if even the soul was annihilated in an instant, and only a corpse with residual warmth was left there.

I really can't tell lies! If I tell a lie, I'll die! Well... there's a delay of about one or two seconds, but it's very hidden and extremely powerful!
We don’t even know where the attack comes from, there’s no way to defend against it!
It feels a bit like the legendary rules of the Tao. It is said that the ascended demon fairy of the demon clan just said "All the sea creatures within a hundred thousand miles will be destroyed!" and then slaughtered hundreds of millions of sea creatures and ended the war between land and sea.

Borrowing the power of heaven and earth, making laws with just one word, this is the supreme authority that only the ninth-level ascended immortals possess in the legend!

It is said that even the ascended immortals cannot make too many such laws of heaven and earth. In addition to the one about killing the sea people, there is another one that "the spiritual energy in the areas ruled by the demons is inherently demonic." This is also the source of the demons' increasingly larger territory and the difficulty for humans and demons to regain their territory.

However, the upper limit of power in the world of cultivation is high, and the power of heaven and earth is strong. It is understandable that the laws of heaven can be formulated. But this is just a very ordinary technological world. I have been to all the top laboratories, and the level of technology is not much higher than the world of my previous life, and there is no extraordinary power. Why does such an extremely powerful law of heaven exist?
This is very un-exceptional!
After thinking about it, Lu Ang captured a few more soldiers who were killing the old and the young, and started a new round of attempts.

Soon, after losing seventeen lives, Lu Ang summarized some basic settings of this truth-telling rule.

First of all, if you tell a lie, you will be punished by God, no matter how big or small the lie is. If you say something very obviously that you are the richest man, you will be punished by God. If you say something not so obvious, like you have a few thousand dollars in your pocket but actually only a few hundred, you will also be punished by God.

Then, if you lie about areas you don't understand, you won't be punished by heaven. For example, if you say that you have millions of hairs, the soldier obviously doesn't know what millions means. He only knows that his hair is very thick and it feels like he has that many, so he lies. In fact, according to Lu Ang's spiritual power, he only has about 110,000 hairs, yet he is unharmed.

Finally, telling lies unconsciously does not count as lying, and will not result in divine punishment. For example, if you take out ten pieces of paper filled with words and ask him to read the first word of each line ten times, and then after he has formed a habit, then ask him to read "I am the richest man in the world" on the next piece of paper, he will not be punished by heaven.

Then he came to his senses and realized that what he said was wrong, and he kept making excuses: "I am not, I am not." After that, he was not punished by God.

Obviously, the formulation of this truth-telling rule is relatively loose. Unless someone tells a lie knowing that he is lying, he will be considered a liar and will be silently punished by heaven and lose his life.

Moreover, people in this world also have the ability to lie. After seeing others lying, they can understand what lying is, but because of the inertia formed over a long period of time, or the education they received since childhood, they will not lie.

In addition, these people were very surprised and frightened about those who died because of lying, as if they had no idea that lying would lead to death. After questioning, we learned that they really didn't know. It was just that when they were in school since childhood, they had many courses on expressing oneself bravely and expressing oneself correctly. The teachers of these courses were very strict, and many people had been spanked on the palms or buttocks.

Another soldier said that when he was a child, he had a friend who suddenly died while playing with everyone one day. He used to think that he had some disease, but now thinking back, there is a high probability that it was because he told lies and boasted to his friends.

To sum up, it is obvious that there are some people in this world who are clearly aware of the rule of "not lying", otherwise such an education system would not be established, nor would there be a cleanup mechanism for dealing with those who "die suddenly".

With the preliminary test results, Lu Ang let go of the remaining eight lucky people and began to search some ancient libraries or confidential archives, using the powerful soul of Yuanying Zhenren to search for the truth among the countless texts.

The books are as vast as smoke, but fortunately, "Cangjie's Talent for Writing" came in handy this time. Lu Ang could search hundreds of millions of words almost every second, and he could finish reading a top library in just over ten minutes.

One room after another, building after building, from west to east, from the private sector to the government, it took almost three hours for Lu Ang to finally finish reading all the contents containing "truth" and "lies".

After the rapid analysis and summary of the soul, I finally learned some of the secrets of this world.

This world's "truthful rules" did not exist from the beginning. In fact, they have not existed for long, only three thousand years. Three thousand years ago in the era of bamboo slips and stone tablets, many hidden ancient books contained strategies of deception.

For example, a certain general made a feint to the east and declared war on a city while the main force attacked in another direction; or a certain king was willing to marry his princess to a certain barbarian king but changed his mind, and the barbarian king was furious and launched an invasion. There are many records like this, but most of them have been buried and sealed in some confidential areas and have not been disseminated to the public.

The key point is that three thousand years ago, many ancient books recorded that a second sun appeared in the sky. Since then, for a long time, almost hundreds of years, people did not dare to speak until the second sun disappeared.

Obviously, this "truthful law of heaven" should be related to this second sun!
Is it an alien? Or a visitor from another world? Or an ascended immortal passing by?

Lu Ang didn't know.

He didn't know what was going on because the time had come and his body began to become transparent and he was going back.

He also didn't know that the moment he disappeared, another sun suddenly appeared in the sky.
