Chapter 115 The New Ability of the God of Moments (2/2)
”Err …” Liu Shuai glared at Long Fei who shut his mouth immediately. Liu Shuai still wondered, ”Why could the waitress pass through me? It cannot be done with any deceptive tricks or camouflage. Unless her soul left her body.”
”Could it be that the real and the fake had switched?” Hao Ning felt that there was something wrong. So he carefully thought about what Zhou Yuan had just said and asked, ”Is it as you said, when it reached the ultimate state, the fake becomes real, and the real becomes fake?”
”Hao Ning is smart,” Zhou Yuan gave a thumb up and praised. ”In the illusion, since the ”we” in their mind had become real, then the real us were naturally fake. In this way, if we don't exist, what's so strange about them passing through us?”
”Holy sh*t...” Liu Shuai rubbed his forehead, ”I've never heard of such a technique. What's its name?”
”Nonsense,” Zhou Yuan was a bit proud. He arrogantly waved his hand right in front of the waitress who was passing through his body. As expected, the waitress didn't see him. And They continued their work and even passed through Zhou Yuan a few times. Zhou Yuan laughed complacently, ”I have not been comprehending this technique for too long. Of course, you have not heard of it. I don't know how to call it. Maybe we just call it Fake Reality Realm?”
”Fake Reality Realm?” Long Fei pondered, then nodded, ”Interesting. Normal illusions can only be called illusions, but yours is a reality. Very interesting.”
”Don't talk about its name. You did this the moment you arrived. It's not just a show-off, right?” Hao Ning interrupted Zhou Yuan, ”How did you show up? We didn't see you walk in from the door.”
”You really have a lot of questions,” Zhou Yuan said as he poured a cup of tea and drank it, then said with a smile, ”Mr. Zhang said that there might be a big show here today and wanted me to watch it together with you guys. But I can only watch, not participate, so I came up with this idea. Also, I didn't walk over here. I used an escaping technique. What escaping technique? I call it 'Moment Escape.' F * ck, I'm as good as Hao Ning at picking names … ”
”Avalokitesvara? What is he trying to do now?” Hao Ning didn't care about Zhou Yuan's ridiculing him. He thought for a while and said in surprise, ”Did you just say Moment Escape? Were you going back and forth through the Wechat Moment? ”
”Of course,” Zhou Yuan curled his lips and nodded as if it was a matter that goes without saying, ”Come on, I am the God of Moment. I can travel at will through it, although it costs me some mana.” As he spoke, he closed his eyes and counted with his fingers for a long time. He felt sorry for having spent so much energy, ”What a pity!” He sighed like a miser.
”F * ck.” Liu Shuai opened his eyes wide, ”It's too exaggerated … Does that mean as long as somebody installs WeChat in his phone, you can freely show up… ”
”It's not the time to exclaim. I'm not a Peeping Tom,” Zhou Yuan looked at Liu Shuai with disdain, then looked at the hall and clapped as he shouted with a smile, ”Ah! They're going to fight. They're going to fight!”
”What kind of god is he? Apparently, he's a social unrest agitator!” Hao Ning and Liu Shuai laughed bitterly as they looked towards the hall.
The man who shouted stood up and glared at the passage between the kitchen and the hall as if he was waiting for the manager of the restaurant to come out. The manager was unlucky. Usually, managers were responsible for the customer service and the restaurant's income, but the manager of this restaurant was also accountable for the customers' personal safety when the restaurant became a base of free fighting.
However, the situation today seemed to be a little different from the usual. Usually, if a ”trouble maker” slammed the table and shouted, other customers would keep silent or pay the bill as soon as possible and leave. It was like this during the A Zhe incident and the incident of Qili's ”going crazy”. No matter how brave a person was, once he saw someone causing trouble, he would immediately pay the bill and leave without saying a word. That's the fine tradition of ”acting like a hero behind and pretending to be the grandson in front” in time of peace. However, it was completely different today. After the person shouted, only a few people paid the bill and left. The remaining customers didn't lower their heads to eat. Instead, they looked at that person with smiles on their faces.
”Hey, Hao Ning, listen to me,” Liu Shuai looked at those people who were watching and smiling, rubbed his forehead and asked, ”Don't you think their smiles are strange?”
”Strange?” Hao Ning heard what Liu Shuai said and realized that his attention had all been attracted to the person who caused the trouble. He then looked at the smiles of the others, realizing that they were indeed different. ”That is not the smile of an ordinary person. Its deep meaning is something I have never seen before. If I'm not mistaken, it is not a smile that exists in the mortal world!”
”Oh? Not in the mortal world? ” Hearing Hao Ning's cautious description, Long Fei who was drinking tea put the cup down and went over to ask, ”What is the deep meaning of it?”
Long Fei was so agitated that his spittle jumped on Hao Ning's face.
”Ah, go back, go back. Your 'Amberlite Fragrance' is about to splatter on me!” Hao Ning retreated in disgust, then looked at the people in the middle of the hall. He laughed coldly and said in all seriousness, ”If I'm not wrong, their smiles, are the legendary — Evil yet Charming Smiles!”
”Puff--” Liu Shuai spouted the water in his mouth out when he heard Hao Ning said that in such a severe way. This time, Zhou Yuan did not even look at the water as it turned into colorful fireworks and bloomed behind him, perfectly setting him off as a picture that would only appear in Wechat Moments. His skin did not have any pores, and his big eyes looked even bigger with the pupils black and bright. And his skin was so white that it made Long Fei look blacker for a few degrees.
”Holy sh*t...” Hao Ning knew that it was Zhou Yuan's trick again, so he couldn't help but retort, ”Enough! Other gods use their mana to take down the Spirit Demon beings, but yours is just a scam.”
”Hehe,” Zhou Yuan scratched his head, retracted his technique, returned to his original form and asked again, ”You just said 'Evil yet Charming Smile'. what kind of mysterious smile is that?”
”Ha-ha, you, a Moment God, didn't know that? Although you are a new cyber god, your knowledge level is outdated.” Liu Shuai looked at Zhou Yuan. His skills were outstanding, but he didn't know much of this world. Thus, Liu Shuai explained with a smile,” Evil yet Charming Smile is not a mysterious smile, but just a description that often appears in online novels. The authors always say somebody shows an Evil yet Charming Smile when they don't know how to describe the character's expression. This description has been abused and was laughed at by many readers. No wonder Hao Ning said that it's not a mortal's smile, because it's a smile faked by the authors!”
Liu Shuai's expression changed. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Hao Ning: ”If this kind of smile that only appears in novels appears on a mortal's face …”
”That means —” Hao Ning only wanted to make a joke, but upon hearing Liu Shuai's words, his expression turned serious as he muttered to himself, ”The souls of these people were probably invaded by the spirit of the book, just like Qili.”
”What the f * ck!” Long Fei's eyes were wide open as he looked at the people in the hall in disbelief, ”Are you talking about all these people? All their souls have a problem? What a big deal! How much effort would it take to do it!? How is this possible!?”
”Zhou Yuan...” Hao Ning looked at Zhou Yuan, saying slowly: ”What exactly does this Avalokitesvara want you to see?”
