Please ask the dream.

Chapter 625 The perfect concealment is lying to yourself

"Master, it's time to eat."

A gentle voice came from outside the door. Feng Xue put down the paintbrush, then jumped down from the small stool and walked out the door unsteadily.

"Young master, slow down!" With hurried steps, a pair of big hands passed through his armpits and lifted him up.

"I can do it myself!" Feng Xue sighed and said to the maid in front of him, but the maid just maintained a smile and did not explain. Instead, she took him to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Although we arrived at the dining room, a man who looked to be in his forties, judging by the condition of his skin, but had the vicissitudes of an old man all over his body, was already sitting at the main seat. Lunch only officially began when the maid placed him on a special child seat.

The dishes did not look luxurious, but they were very delicate, and the taste far surpassed anything Feng Xue had eaten in her previous life. The rice, as the staple food, was also quite particular, both in terms of the quality of the rice and the steaming and cooking techniques, they were all perfect.

"I heard from Xiaolin that you've been learning to paint recently? How do you feel about it?"

During the meal, the old man suddenly spoke. Feng Xue swallowed the food in his mouth before speaking:

“It doesn’t feel too difficult.”

"Oh, that's a bit exaggerated! Do you want me to help you find an art teacher? A very good one!" The man's tone was very kind, like an old man who dotes on the younger generation in his family. Feng Xue nodded immediately after hearing this:

"Yes, yes! But I remember you said you would help me find a music teacher, but I haven't met him yet!"

"I saw you suddenly start painting again, so I thought you were over the heat! After all, he is a master after all. If you are only enthusiastic for a short time, my favor will be in vain..." The man smiled, and Feng Xue immediately said obediently:
"I want both, I want both. This is definitely not a three-minute enthusiasm!"

"Okay, the music teacher will be here soon, and I'll help you find an art teacher too. If you find it hard, you can give up at any time!"

"I won't give up!" Feng Xue said seriously, and stuffed a spoonful of sweet and sour pork into his mouth.

The father and son chatted and laughed for a while, and seemed quite harmonious. However, when Feng Xue returned to the room after lunch and continued his unfinished painting, the feeling that made his hair stand on end resurfaced.

Although he seemed to be an abandoned baby adopted by a wealthy family and had a perfect material life, Feng Xue was very clear that his start as a time traveler was not actually good.

In other words, he would rather be born in an orphanage.

After all, his golden finger is the "Jinchūriki of the Yellow King"...

Is this the golden finger that a proper time traveler should have?
The so-called Jinchūriki is a special existence that uses the human body as a container to seal something with great power and risk, and can borrow its power. It comes from a comic called "Naruto", which is a re-creation of the legend of "Jinchūriki", a special existence that uses a human body as a container.

But in the original work, those ordinary people who sealed the tailed beasts already had a disastrous origin as if their parents had raised them in vain, not to mention that what was sealed in his body was the notoriously difficult evil god of the Ksitigarbha system!
The more troublesome problem is that his golden finger doesn't seem to be the kind of golden finger that only traditional time travelers know as long as they don't talk too much.

The feeling of being watched that looms over him all the time is the most direct proof!
Fortunately, the people in this world are not as stupid as those in the Naruto world. Although the feeling of being monitored every day has never disappeared, at least on the surface, his material and spiritual life are quite superior. But Feng Xue also knows that he must not let others know that he is being monitored, otherwise there might be trouble. So since he was adopted, he has restrained himself and maintained a simple and naruto-like personality.

Fortunately, perhaps due to the influence of Huang Wang's power, he has extraordinary talent in the field of art, including acting.

The paintbrush moved across the canvas, and all kinds of paint were filled into their proper places. Feng Xue's mouth curled up slightly, but the restlessness in his heart was still suppressed by him.

……

"It's interesting... this identity."

In the node selection interface, Feng Xue's expression was a little subtle. Although he didn't know the man who adopted him, the feeling of being monitored seemed to be enough to explain many problems.

For example - why will the file crash directly if the proportion of Huang Wang code is high?

[Feng Xue and Enlightenment in Longchang] This exploration is essentially a simulation of the past, a deduction from the birth of the previous incarnation. Feng Xue knew this a long time ago, but Feng Xue ignored, or never paid attention to, the problem -

The year that the predecessor was born was exactly the time when Qingyun was heading for decline. In other words, the year that the Snowy Night Orphans occurred was the year that a super-large nightmare descended upon Qingyun and caused serious injuries to the creator of Qingyun.

Having just experienced an attack from a super-large nightmare, Qingyun must be in a state of tension. At this time, an abandoned baby with the breath of nightmare will naturally be treated as a pollutant.

Only when the concentration of this breath drops to a certain level will the guilt of killing the baby outweigh the sense of mission to eliminate the danger in advance, and he will have a chance to survive.

However, even if he was not dealt with directly, the nightmare aura on him was still a hidden danger, which was why he was under round-the-clock surveillance during this unexpected encounter.

only……

"That's actually a problem. After all, it's impossible for every contaminated child to have such an exaggerated power to monitor them. So even if the speculation is correct, the person who adopted me must have a considerable status. Only in this way can he protect a 'dangerous item' that could become a bomb at any time."

Thinking of this, Feng Xue couldn't help but label the person who adopted him as a "good man", and at the same time follow the thread of this story to write the rest of his life.

In order to avoid errors caused by insufficient information, he only vaguely wrote down two pieces of information: "The gold finger is Huang Wang Jinchuriki" and "Music, painting, acting and other skills (which he thinks are talents) all come from Huang Wang". The rest are similar to the fortune-telling under the overpass in his previous life, with both positive and negative explanations (Note ①).

Now, with the fact that he was "studying music and art" and a casual chat over a meal, Feng Xue could define a lot more about his identity -

For example, if the protagonist studies fine arts, he can let go of his knowledge of freehand painting and his master-level painting skills, and with a little bit of guiding description, he can naturally believe that this power is something he naturally comprehended in the process of learning painting. Even if he has doubts, he will put them on the influence of his identity as "the Yellow King Jinchūriki".

As for the significance of doing this -

As the saying goes, the most perfect lie is nine truths and one lie. When all other learned abilities in memory have been actually learned, there is a skill that is theoretically complete and you remember that you should have learned it, but in fact you have not mastered it, will it be mastered?
