Chapter 60: Chapter 60: The Way to Bend the Truth is to Overlay It with Another Truth

Liam rested for another night. The next morning his complexion had returned to a rosy hue.

When the Hall family woke up, they saw a table full of fresh food giving off a mouth-watering aroma. They also took in the sight of the three Martinez siblings’ figures in the kitchen.

When Liam carried several steamed buns out the kitchen door, Mrs. Hall ran heavily over to hug him. Normally Mrs. Hall always maintained the demeanor of an elegant lady; no matter how rushed, she had never run that fast before.

Seeing a wet patch on his chest, Liam sighed helplessly. Alexander caught Liam’s plea for help. Alexander pursed his lips and stepped forward to pull Mrs. Hall out of Liam’s embrace:

"Mother, there is still plenty of time. Do not make him tired."

Only then did Mrs. Hall remember Liam was still pregnant. She hurriedly wiped away her tears:

"Right, right. Liam, sit down quickly. Letting the servants handle these tasks will do."

The servants heard that and stepped forward immediately, wanting to take the tray of buns from Liam’s hands, yet he dodged them.

"I can do it myself. Everyone sit down and eat breakfast quickly."

The attitude was still as gentle, but it carried an added layer of distance. Mrs. Hall was slightly stunned. The gazes of the three Hall family members also dimmed somewhat.

Elijah stood at the top of the stairs, taking this entire scene into his eyes. He said nothing, only looking at the blue sweater of the same style as his own, feeling slightly jealous in his heart. However, remembering the words older sister Isabella had mentioned yesterday, that Liam could turn beautiful yarn into a disaster, while Elijah had been praised by Isabella for possessing natural talent, his state of mind balanced out a little.

Despite knowing the person in this body was no longer the original Liam Hall, Elijah still could not drop the desire to compare himself with the other man. He strolled unhurriedly downstairs, sitting down at the table very naturally. He reached his hand toward the warm glass of milk on the table, took a small sip, subsequently making an "hm" sound:

"Is this not synthetic nutritional milk?"

Liam smiled, saying: "Mm, it is soy milk."

"Soybeans? What is that?" Elijah asked out of curiosity.

Liam used tongs to place a pumpkin steamed bun on each plate. Elijah’s plate specifically received a full pumpkin steamed bun and two baked pumpkin cakes shaped like pumpkins. Liam finished doing that, then sat back down beside the younger boy. Liam took out several tattered dictionary pages carefully laminated with a preservation film from his spatial bracelet, pointing them out to Elijah.

"Here. This round seed is precisely a soybean; its plant looks like this. As for the flour to make cakes, it is wheat flour, which is white. The reason the cakes I make have an orange color is because I added pumpkin..."

The two Omegas put their heads together to look at the picture pages. This harmonious scene made the adults’ eyes grow damp. The sentimental butler even huddled in a hidden corner, using a handkerchief to wipe the tears falling endlessly on his old face.

"All right, you two eat breakfast quickly, the food is about to go completely cold." Benjamin said in a hoarse voice, subsequently sitting down at the table himself.

Everyone also sat down in turn, enjoying the delicious, fragrant breakfast in front of their eyes. The three Hall family members ate steamed buns filled with star-beast meat and drank soy milk, sparing no words of praise. After learning these delicacies came from Liam’s hands, they were all extremely astonished. Alexander blurted out:

"Liam, you know how to cook? Did you not fail to even differentiate types of fresh food before?"

Benjamin and Isabella were bewildered: "Huh? But he cooks very proficiently?"

Elijah’s mouth chewing the cake paused for a moment, subsequently continuing to chew as though nothing had happened. He wanted to see what excuse Liam would use to gloss over it. Unexpectedly, Liam said:

"Everyone just eat first. Once we finish eating I will speak."

This sentence was incredibly familiar, exactly like Alexander’s words a few days ago. An ominous premonition rose in everyone’s hearts. Elijah’s expression showed slight panic. He leaned his head closer to Liam, whispering in a low voice:

"Are you crazy? That is not a matter you can speak out arbitrarily!"

Furthermore, if Liam spoke the truth, then Elijah would become a murderer. He did not know if he could survive in the Hall house anymore, nor did he know if older sister Isabella and eldest brother Benjamin would still love him.

"Rest assured, I know my limits."

Liam smiled as he looked at Elijah. His gaze carried a mix of affection. This child’s nature was truly very kind-hearted; if not forced by circumstances, Liam thought Elijah would have remained kind-hearted forever. Liam could not stop himself from rubbing Elijah’s fluffy head of hair. Mm, the tactile sensation was not bad.

Elijah’s fluffy hair was ravaged by Liam, looking even fluffier. Elijah clutched his head, glaring at Liam:

"Do not rub my head!"

Liam made two "mm-hm" sounds, still stealthily rubbing a few more times. Nirvana sitting inside the soul space saw this scene. It suddenly spoke: [I kept wondering why the host asked if I had a physical body. It turns out you are a terminal-stage fluff maniac!]

Liam did not answer the system, only blinking innocently. Nirvana arrogantly swished its fluffy tail, gliding back and forth in front of the host as though teasing him.

[Letting the host see but not touch, making the host die of craving. He he~] It said arrogantly.

Liam was amused by the system’s appearance. He thought to himself that he must quickly earn enough money to upgrade the stall, then buy a physical body for this cat. At that time, he would pet it until it went completely bald.

The whole family ate breakfast in anxious suspense, subsequently sitting together on the sofa, waiting in silence for Liam’s verdict. Liam sent all the servants outside, retaining only butler Levi. Because in the original owner’s heart, Levi was also like a family member. Levi also needed to know the things that had happened to the original owner.

Nirvana paced back and forth eagerly in front of Liam: [Host, do not tell me you intend to confess absolutely everything to them? You cannot, my host. If you speak it out, you will truly lie on an operating table!]

Nirvana sobbed "hoo hoo". Even though its mouth was slightly foul, having even said it would not care if Liam were caught by people for research, the truth was it could not bear to see Liam fall into that situation. Liam was the host it had spent more than a thousand years searching for; how could it let him die easily.

Liam did not answer Nirvana. He swept his gaze across everyone in the living room once, subsequently saying:

"Actually, I died once already."

Elijah’s body trembled, his head lowering very deep. His two hands resting on his thighs gripped each other tightly, so tight his fingertips turned pale white. Everyone in the room was bewildered, seemingly failing to understand what the "died" Liam spoke of here meant.

Liam reached his hand out to pry Elijah’s fingers apart one by one, subsequently patting them gently. Waiting for everyone to calm down, Liam finally continued:

"That night, after I entered that Alpha’s room, I was crushed to death by his rioting pheromones. I walked within a white space for a very long time. By the time my consciousness returned, I was an infant lying in swaddling clothes. In that world there were no Robots, no mechas, or Insectoid races..."

Liam told the story slowly. However, instead of speaking the truth that he was a completely different person, he molded a story of dying then reincarnating, subsequently dying again and reviving in his own original body. Elijah listened in bewilderment. Why was it different from what Liam had told him?

Nirvana also suffered a database disorder for a moment. Had it not scanned the soul compatibility beforehand, it would have suspected the things the host said previously were fake, and that this was the truth.

In short, in Liam’s new story, he had died at the moment he was attacked by that Alpha’s pheromones, subsequently reincarnating onto a strange planet from more than a thousand years ago, when hyper-technology had not yet developed and the planets in the Lumina Galaxy did not yet know of each other’s existence.

He subsequently lived in that place for forty years, then died again and returned to his own body exactly on that fateful night.

Nirvana fell silent, secretly giving its host several hundred likes. The way to bend a truth was precisely to overlay it with another truth. Instead of saying the original owner had died completely, Liam turned himself into the original owner, turning his own forty years of life into a transmigrational experience for the original owner.

This method could simultaneously protect Elijah and explain the incomprehensible things happening to the host.

Nirvana had to blurt out a sentence: [Host, you are incredibly awesome!]
