After being hit in the face by the system, I swapped bodies with Zhongli

Under Yuan Zhuoyue's relentless questioning, Morax, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to have sorted out his thoughts and organized his words.

I only heard him reply in that gentle and steady voice, calm and ordinary, "If it weren't for the last resort... I would never do this."

What a good 'last resort'! The scope is clear and broad, it is simply a model of fooling around!

If she wasn't the one being fooled, Yuan Zhuoyue really wanted to applaud Morax to express her admiration.

Although it was within Yuan Zhuoyue's expectation that Morax, who was a riddle teller before her, would say such words.

But after hearing these evasive and irresponsible remarks, Yuan Zhuoyue still felt a little helpless.

But think on the bright side, at least at this moment, Morax is seriously fooling her.

Yuan Zhuoyue could feel that even this simplest sentence was a relatively neutral statement that Morax uttered after carefully considering the words and thinking over it again and again.

Rather than a perfunctory response that comes out of the blue.

Although in the current situation, such a concise sentence also seems a bit perfunctory.

But Yuan Zhuoyue was neither anxious nor annoyed. He just asked calmly: "Do you have any other details to add?"

Upon hearing this, Morax briefly recalled the brief conversation he had with Xian Yan not long ago.

Because of his timely intervention, the half-demon girl who inherited some of Bai Ze's abilities did not reveal too much about the future that she had foreseen.

There are only two things that were clearly stated. The first time she foresaw the fragmented vision of the future, she saw what he and Yuan Zhuoyue had experienced together, and it was not a happy ending.

The second time, for some unknown reason, something suddenly changed, leading to a completely different ending.

After confirming that there was no other situation, Morax immediately gave another brief response to Yuan Zhuoyue's question: "No."

Morax has now made up his mind not to speak easily, so as not to leak something inadvertently. He has become accustomed to it now, but for Yuan Zhuoyue now, it is a secret that he does not need to know for the time being.

What he wanted to conceal could not be revealed to Yuan Zhuoyue now, so that she could not perceive his purpose and the details of his subsequent plans.

So Morax is now preparing to go with Yuan Zhuoyue in a question-and-answer mode.

Never involve yourself in details other than the question. The answer you give should not only be clear but also concise to avoid unnecessary details.

Yuan Zhuoyue only nodded slightly after hearing this overly brief answer, and then asked, "Do you know the half-demon girl named Xian Yan who claims to have inherited some of Bai Ze's power and can see the future?"

When she said this, her eyes were focused on Morax, who looked extremely calm and would reveal even the slightest emotion.

Then Yuan Zhuoyue heard the answer from Morax: "...I have never had any contact with her."

This is still cleverly said.

Yuan Zhuoyue nodded in understanding and immediately came to the conclusion that they knew each other.

Now that I have a basis for communication with Morax, Yuan Zhuoyue has also roughly figured out the general terms I used when he talked to her.

As long as Morax does not insist on decisively rejecting or refusing to answer, but plays Tai Chi ambiguously like he is doing now, it can be said that he is implicitly acknowledging the problem.

Yuan Zhuoyue looked at those eyes that were as bright as the setting sun's molten gold, and an overly gentle and hypocritical smile appeared on his face. As if with ill intentions, he slowly said, "When she explained her identity to you and wanted to tell you about the future she had foreseen, why did you shout at her to stop? And give her a warning?"

Morax still answered calmly: "She was a little too emotional. I just wanted her to calm down, and to explain her foreseen future from the most objective perspective without any bias."

He looked back with a perfectly appropriate smile on his face, and met Yuan Zhuoyue's gaze: "So as not to affect our judgment."

After hearing this, Yuan Zhuoyue did not intend to get to the bottom of it, but just said indifferently: "It does make sense."

Then he quickly changed the subject.

Yuan Zhuoyue was now deliberately testing, although the topic at this moment was all derived from the half-demon girl.

But when Yuan Zhuoyue asked, he did not follow the principle of gradual progress, but instead talked about new topics haphazardly, completely without following any rules and very erratically.

She would even ask the same question from different angles, repeatedly, and very quickly to Morax.

And in your mind, compare the answer you get with your previous answer to verify it.

What kind of moisture is still stored in Morax's dry words?

This question-and-answer communication method allowed Yuan Zhuoyue to gain a lot, but also to see the obvious resistance of Morax.

When Morax communicated with her, he only answered without asking questions, and the answers he gave were extremely concise, without involving any other information besides the answers.

It even made Yuan Zhuoyue feel a little rigid, just like a human machine.

After this simple conversation, I was able to accurately find the key points based on my experience gained from attending meetings and listening to the leaders' nonsense speeches over the years.

Yuan Zhuoyue summarized Morax's speech, which was an answer and discussion centered on the future scene that the half-demon girl named Xian Yan had described.

But other than that, no other information beyond this scope was leaked to her.

There is a creature that knows a lot but seems to know nothing. When it is poked, everything it knows pours out like beans, like a small golden cube that looks like a colander. This is a very easy precedent to use in making flattering remarks.

With such a sharp contrast, Morax seems even more impregnable and difficult to deal with.

Moreover, when she first communicated with the two of them, the situation that occurred frequently, which induced her to enter an abnormal state that she could not control, did not happen even once.

It has to be said that old people are wise and have lived for a long time, so their abilities are indeed extraordinary. The experience accumulated with the passage of time is enough for Morax to solve most problems easily.

In just the next day, she was able to perfectly avoid the trigger points that would cause her to exhibit abnormal behaviors. To say that Morax has made great progress now would be an understatement.

But Yuan Zhuoyue was really annoyed with her current state of ignorance, although she didn't think she could change anything.

She just wanted to know what role she played in the future written by Morax?

Regardless of good or evil, right or wrong...she just wants to die with a clear conscience.

Even though Morax had promised her before that after everything was settled, he would tell her everything he had hidden, in detail.

But there was always an inexplicable sense of anxiety lingering in Yuan Zhuoyue's heart, urging her to understand those secrets that she had never known as soon as possible.
