Zhou Bai looked at Gu Lan before him, whose appearance had obviously become distorted, and at the expression on her face that he couldn't tell was either a grimace or a silly smile. Suddenly, it dawned on him, "Could it be?"
His mind flashed with memories of the distorted entities he had encountered before.
The old man who cooked noodles for him at home, the senior sister from the Dao School during Primordial Spirit Emergence, the distorted body of a classmate who had taken possession of another, and Qian Wangsun, who was on the verge of distortion...
"Yes, although the distorted beings become completely crazed and turn into someone else, that doesn't mean they lose their wisdom. They still have intellect, but their way of thinking and perspective on the world are utterly different from their past selves and other humans."
With this realization, Zhou Bai understood Gu Lan's situation better—although she was distorted, she was probably still a simpleton among them.
