My Mysterious Left Hand

Everyone else was confused when they heard the name "Li Chen".

Hu Zhongming, however, was invigorated, because he had just met a man named Li Chen the night before.

Could it be the same person?

Hu Zhongming felt it was outrageous.

According to the people of Black Sheep Village, Li Chen was lawless and broke into the village, kidnapped a person, and stole the offerings they had prepared for a sacrificial ceremony.

Many people who have entered the wild world know that the villages or towns in this world are protected by ancestral spirits.

Under normal circumstances, even a super strong person would find it difficult to sneak in silently and would have to force their way in.

That's why Hu Zhongming felt it was outrageous, because he felt that Li Chen's strength was far from being able to force his way into a village in the Wilderness World.

The two sides confronted each other directly near the World Passage.

The people of Black Sheep Village are demanding that Earth hand over Li Chen, or there may be bloodshed.

Because his two companions were injured by Li Chen, Hu Zhongming came alone today.

He thought he was just here to check out the situation beforehand and wasn't prepared to go on an adventure, but he didn't expect that he might encounter a war.

"It's amazing that I can actually understand the language of this world here."

"What do you mean... Ah, I didn't even realize it until you said it. The people from Black Sheep Village didn't have the right lip movements. They weren't speaking Chinese, so why could we understand them?"

"That's the amazing thing about this world; it seems like any language can be understood."

I heard this conversation.

Hu Zhongming already knew this, but he didn't care. Instead, he was on guard against the possibility of bloodshed at any time.

However, just as tensions were running high, a commotion suddenly broke out where the Taoist priests were.

Hu Zhongming turned his head and saw a Taoist priest trying to run away, but was stopped by military personnel.

"Bang bang bang..."

A fierce battle broke out there, and in the blink of an eye, the Taoist priest was injured and detained by the military.

"What happened?"

Hu Zhongming quickly went over and asked the person in the know, "What happened here?"

"It seems that the Taoist priest was promoting the idea that 'this world is a fragment of the primordial world from mythology' to the people of Black Sheep Village. After the military discovered this, he tried to run away," the person being questioned replied.

"Oh, this..."

Hu Zhongming was stunned: "You got arrested even for something like this?"

"Actually, I'm more curious about why that Taoist priest was in such a hurry to tell the people of this world about this?" the person being asked said.

"This... seems a bit strange."

Hu Zhongming couldn't help but frown, feeling that something was amiss.

"Yeah, we're about to fight, is he preaching?" others chimed in.

"Why are these Taoist priests so mysterious? They're talking about this kind of thing with the enemy, and the enemy probably doesn't even have a concept of mythology."

In fact, everyone looked puzzled.

"Don't believe the rumors. The higher-ups have never defined this world as a fragment of a primordial world."

At this moment, a powerful military officer spoke through a megaphone: "That person is a follower of an evil god. He harbors malicious intentions and spreads false concepts. From now on, anyone who claims that this world is a fragment of the primordial world will be prosecuted for spreading rumors."

He then ordered the surrounding soldiers: "Surround this place, detain everyone who spread this story, find out the truth before releasing them."

"Why? Does this involve spreading rumors?"

"What exactly happened? It seems quite serious?"

"So this world isn't just a fragment of the primordial world from mythology? Everyone's been talking about this these past few days. I thought..."

Everyone panicked; why were they suddenly arresting people?

The reason given for arresting him seemed rather far-fetched to them.

The military expert spoke again: "This matter involves the cultivation method of evil gods. These evil gods become stronger by extremely strengthening and binding concepts, and false concepts will affect the foundation of the entire civilization."

He paused for a moment, then spoke again: "Please rest assured, everyone. The military has a very mature and simple way to confirm whether you are followers of some evil god."

"God... a deity?"

"It's that serious?"

"Why does this feel like a fairy tale?"

Everyone nearby felt a chill run down their spines. How did something that seemed so simple end up involving deities?

……

Because optimizing one's cultivation technique cannot be achieved overnight, Li Chen took a shower and went straight to sleep as dawn approached.

When I woke up, it was already midday outside.

He picked up his phone and glanced at it, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Is this information about opening up another world?"

He had briefly looked at the information online last night, and there was clearly no news related to another world. It was obvious that the authorities had kept it well hidden.

As a result, information about another world is now flying everywhere.

Furthermore, one of the pinned posts tried to explain that the passage on the other side of Mango Village is definitely not a fragment of some primordial world, and that the site has never defined what kind of world these otherworlds are.

"Why does this news feel a bit sudden?"

Li Chen was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

He always felt that all the information related to another world was a setup for this post.

"Is this a forceful refutation of rumors? So, the Savage World isn't a fragment of the primordial world from mythology? But why is the higher-ups so concerned about these rumors?"

Just as I was wondering, I suddenly heard the sound of fighting outside.

He frowned slightly, quickly put on his shoes and went out. He immediately saw several Taoist priests running rapidly toward him, with a group of criminal police officers chasing after them.

Both were moving very fast, at least 100 meters per second. Wherever they passed, the locals of Mango Village were stunned, as if they were watching a god.

"They're all incredibly powerful! If a world portal hadn't appeared behind Mango Village, I'd have no idea that so many powerful individuals had emerged on Earth!"

Li Chen's eyes were deep, and he didn't meddle in other people's business.

Several Taoist priests and criminal police officers rushed out of Mango Village. Not long after, the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard in the distance.

"Extraordinary powers are beginning to appear before ordinary people; things are likely to get chaotic on Earth."

He was about to go back to his house when a soldier strode over and waved to him.

Li Chen immediately stopped and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.

As the soldier approached, he checked the information on his tablet: "Li Chen?"

"It's me. Is there anything I can help you with?" Li Chen nodded.

"Please explain how you got back. As far as we know, you must have accidentally wandered into a barbaric world."

The soldier said expressionlessly, "Don't be nervous. We're just checking for defensive vulnerabilities. As long as you don't break the law, we won't bother you. However, according to intelligence, you should have already practiced, and this needs to be registered."

Upon hearing this, Li Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then explained, "I took advantage of the fact that those Taoist priests weren't paying attention last night and left from nearby. By the way, when I left, those Taoist priests were chatting and weren't really on guard at all."

Those Taoist priests were indeed just going through the motions, not taking their work seriously at all.

The soldier scoffed inwardly, then continued, "I heard you had a conflict with Black Sheep Village over there?"

"The people from Black Sheep Village wanted to capture me, so I had no choice but to fight back," Li Chen replied without changing his expression.

"We don't care what happens over there, but even over there, killing each other is not allowed. I hope you remember that."

The soldier tapped a few times on the tablet: "Tell me your age."

Li Chen: "Nineteen years old."

"There's something you need to know. From today onwards, everyone who has cultivated will be considered a militia member. When necessary, you will need to obey orders, but at other times you are free to move around. Whether you stay on Earth or explore another world is your choice."

The soldier said, "Of course, you people are also authorized to carry controlled knives, but you must not cause trouble, otherwise you will be dealt with according to military law. Special times call for special measures, please understand."

Li Chen's brow twitched slightly: "Thank you for the notification, I understand."

He was mentally prepared for this.

"Well then, one last thing."

The soldier suddenly typed a few words on the tablet: "Do you recognize these words? Say them aloud."

Li Chen looked at the tablet computer with a strange expression and said, "Are all gods useless?"

"Congratulations on passing the review. Please remember not to believe any false rumors. The authorities have zero tolerance for believers in evil gods."

The soldier said this, saluted, and then turned and left.

A follower of an evil god?

Li Chen suddenly realized: 'It seems the news that suddenly appeared today must be related to this matter.'

In this light, the sudden release of information about another world was likely intended to crack down on followers of evil gods, or even evil gods they were unaware of.

The problem seems rather serious.

Thinking about all this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the matter of his "smuggling back" was over.

After the soldiers had gone far away, he turned around and went back into the house to start preparing lunch.
