Am I A God?

Chapter 342: We speak the truth

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Hope Elementary School had already stopped classes for a period of time. Now, the classrooms from the first to fourth floors were used to contain the scammers and their victims. There were old, young, males and females, almost all of them were swindled here.

Zhao Yao was brought to the front of a classroom on the first floor and saw that a class was still ongoing. An old man with a face full of wrinkles was standing on the stage. He was speaking with a thick accent as he introduced the uses of miracle water, the method to join him and allocation of profits...

The old man pointed at a few lines of huge words on the blackboard and said, “What’s the biggest influence on older people? Swindlers and friends. As long as we occupy these two avenues, it would mean a huge market with limitless potential is open to us.

But remember, we are not real swindlers, we are just making use of the opportunity.”

Zhao Yao glanced at the audience and saw hundreds of people squeezing inside the tiny classroom to listen to him. More than half of them were elderly and many of them were still taking notes.

Zhao Yao frowned slightly and thought in his heart, “Your publicity is done so well.”

Seeing Zhao Yao and Red Packet being escorted in, the old man on the stage asked, “A cat with special abilities and an apostle?”

The escort replied, “One cat with special abilities, but the one here seems to be an ordinary guy.”

The old man nodded his head, “Bring the cat to the second floor, leave the man here.”

The burly man gave Zhao Yao a shove and said, “You stay here and learn.”

On the journey here, Zhao Yao cooperated with them and hence the escorts did not think that he would resist, so they spoke and acted at will.

However, when he reached where the people were kept, he naturally did not want Fortune Cat to leave his sight, he looked at the man who shoved him and immediately said, “The cat follows me wherever I go, don’t even think of taking him away from me.”

The guys around started laughing and one of them pointed to his head, “Are you dumb?”

Some of the people in the classroom revealed expressions of pity. It wasn’t possible that there wasn’t an emergence of resistance in Chuan Xiao District.

Every few months, some will suddenly realize and want to revolt or escape. There were some that would only realize when they arrived here and tried to escape immediately.

But Old Cat managed Chun Xiao District like a propaganda school. The thousands of people were all immersed in the madness of cultivating fortunes for themselves.

Under this circumstance, even when armed police enter, they probably could not even bring anyone out.

There would be residents going on patrol and watching the compound every day and night. Those that wanted to escape would be captured and beaten, after which they would be starved for days.

It was easy to be backstabbed and exposed by others, hence even fewer people dared to attempt to escape. Even those that were aware of the absurdity of the entire situation could only keep their mouth shut.

Hence, when they saw Zhao Yao’s refusal to obey, they revealed that expression as they thought he was going to be punished.

However, at the next moment, a deflective field erupted as the surrounding burly men flew back and screamed in pain.

The old speaker on the stage and the audience were shocked, “Apostle?”

After arriving at Chuan Xiao District for some time, they had naturally experienced the powers of an apostle. Zhao Yao’s supernatural behavior could only be explained by that.

But even if he was an apostle, it was useless. There were many apostles in Chuan Xiao District and which one of them wasn’t subdued?

Zhao Yao said regretfully, “What are you doing, Ares? Did I ask you to act?”

Ares replied, “They scolded you while pointing at your head. Are you just going to let them disrespect you like that? Do you even have a shred of pride?”

“Sigh, all I’ve done had been ruined by you.” Zhao Yao regretfully stared at the heads of the fallen men. As they were unconscious, the golden exclamation marks on their heads gradually disappeared, Zhao Yao’s attention shifted to the audience.

The old speaker on the stage shouted, “Don’t come over! Don’t think that you’re impressive, Chuan Xiao District’s apostles will be here in a minute, you won’t be arrogant for long.”

Zhao Yao said, “Actually... I’m here because I believe in miracle water.”

The old man shot Zhao Yao a doubtful look.

Zhao Yao relaxed his shoulders and thought to himself, “How am I going to continue from here?”

Rescuing all the victims from this place seemed like the next logical step. Zhao Yao took a look at the students and saw hostility in their eyes. At this moment, he knew that most of them wouldn’t leave with him even if he spoke politely to them.

To Zhao Yao, he’s saving them, but to them, he was destroying their path to riches.

Looking at this, the old man didn’t continue speaking. He knew this apostle wasn’t someone an ordinary person like him could confront. He watched from the side as he awaited the other apostles from the district to arrive.

Red Packet also stood at the side and watched without making a single sound.

Red Packet had been locked up for such a long time and he was clueless about the incident between Zhao Yao and the Headless Horseman. But he knew to defeat Old Cat in Chuan Xiao District was impossible, so he laid down at the side and coldly watched Zhao Yao’s performance.

Zhao Yao slowly walked to the stage, coughed for a bit and spoke, “Actually, all you have been scammed. There is no such thing as miracle water.”

The audience exchanged a few glances but no one spoke. They just stared coldly at Zhao Yao.

The old man who was presenting silently laughed to himself. If a few words could expose the truth, he wouldn’t be conducting the class already.

Zhao Yao expected that response. He placed a bottle and a knife on the stage which were retrieved from the extradimensional belly.

“Look here, this is the real miracle water that revives the dead.”

“We speak the truth and not cheat...”

While speaking, Zhao Yao raised the knife and with a swift action, he chopped off his hand, fresh blood spurted out. The audience was stunned.

“All of you look carefully, my ability is psychokinesis. The joining back of my hand is all because of this miracle water”

While speaking, he calmly raised the bottle and poured a few drops onto his hand, and attached his hand back on.

in a blink of an eye, the wound healed perfectly. He waved his hand around nimbly and the crowd instantly exclaimed.

The old man who was standing at the side was dazed at what took place in front of him until Zhao Yao threw the knife in front of him.

“How? Why not you try it too? Let’s see who has the real miracle water?”

He looked at the knife and his arm but just could not force himself to do it. He lifted his head and looked at Zhao Yao. What kind of trauma did he go through to make him want to cut off his hand? How was he going to continue from here? Was he going to start each lesson by stabbing himself?

Zhao Yao touched the spot where his arm was amputated, with a shiver running through his body. He felt a strong impulse to slash himself again.

“That’s why people said that you would get addicted to slashing others, I’m already addicted to slashing myself.”
