Chapter 193 - Kill Oneself in Imagination (1/2)
Chapter 193 Kill Oneself in ImaginationSpeaking of that, Xiao Hong seemed to realize that he just shot his mouth off, so he hurried to stop. Hao Ning’s eyebrows moved, but he didn’t say anything. Anyway, this was not the first time this God Zhang acted mysteriously, so Hao Ning was not to ask about it.
“Why could the fake be more dreadful than the real?” Hao Ning was about to ask this question, which seemed to be what Zhou Yuan was worried about, “The jump was fake, and the suicide was fake. What else could be dreadful?”
“No,” Xiao Hong shook his head. He looked at Hao Ning and said, “let me ask you, when Zhou Yuan first used his talent to turn a bicycle into a car and you touched it, did you feel it real or fake?”
“You mean the Maserati with the pedals?” Hao Ning recalled, “Of course, real. How real that texture was!”
“When you opened the car door,” Xiao Hong continued to ask, “the feel and the weight of it, were these fakes of real?”
“The feel, the weight… It was real, absolutely real!” Hao Ning thought for a while. He did feel it real. The car door seemed so heavy, and he even got an immediate and gratifying jump forward. Everything was real. Thinking of this, Hao Ning had to refute, “But it was just a bicycle!”
“If that Maserati was on the road and hit someone, or ran over someone,” Xiao Hong continued, “what would happen to that person?”
“Of course, he would die…” Hao Ning blurted out and realized what he said wasn’t right, “Ah, not for sure. It was just a bicycle. How could it kill people?”
“Cars can’t kill people 100% in the crush, but they are more likely to kill people than bicycles, right?” This question may seem ridiculous, but Xiao Hong did not laugh. Instead, he said seriously, “This is the real difference between Zhou Yuan’s power and the camouflage: the real in the fake.”
“The real in the fake?” Hao Ning seemed to have heard that from Zhou Yuan, but he didn’t care about it, “What does that mean?”
“If the Maserati that bicycle turned into was a camouflage when it hit a person it would be equivalent to a bicycle hitting a person.” Xiao Hong saw that the more he said, the more nervous Zhou Yuan became, but he still kept saying, “But if it had been Zhou Yuan’s magic power, it would have been really equivalent to Maserati hitting a person!”
“F**k! How could it be possible!” Hao Ning jumped up and his head hit the roof. His head was so painful that he had to rub his head, and he asked Zhou Yuan, “Is that true?”
Zhou Yuan nodded and didn’t speak.
“Why!” Hao Ning almost broke down.
“Because what his power shows is not the distortion of the spell-caster to the real world,” Xiao Hong thought, looking for the words that could be most easily understood, “but the distortion of the receiver to the world. So, for the receiver, this is real, and all his feelings are real ‒ isn’t that extremely idealism?”
Xiao Hong finished that sentence and smiled at Hao Ning, waiting for the question of Hao Ning.
“Yes…” Hao Ning smiled embarrassingly, “In fact, I can’t actually accept this view. After all, my education is materialistic. I don’t believe that the feeling of consciousness can play such a great role in reality.”
“I knew that,” Xiao Hong said with a wry smile, “Especially with Theology and the power. Is that more difficult to accept? You believe that power is just a kind of special energy that has not been found in science, and it should be classified into the scientific system finally, right?”
“Well,” Hao Ning thought carefully, “I didn’t think about so much. But since you said so, in my mind, that’s really what I think subconsciously.”
“Let’s not talk about it,” Zhou Yuan couldn’t help saying nervously, “Let’s go and check my parents.”
“They are all right for this moment,” Xiao Hong said solemnly, holding Zhou Yuan back. “But if you don’t know these things, something would really happen to them.”
“What do you mean?” Zhou Yuan still didn’t speak. Seeing that Zhou Yuan was acting in a very unusual way today, Hao Ning immediately asked, “What the hell do you know, Zhou Yuan!”
“He didn’t know, but realized what he should have known,” Xiao Hong said for Zhou Yuan. “He can’t decide the life and death of his parents.”
“Mom, Dad, I’m so sorry for you!” After Xiao Hong finished, Zhou Yuan could not hold it back anymore. He cried out and slapped himself hard. “I’m not a man, I’m not a man. I’m not a good son. I’m scum. I’m a beast!”
With a sound “Hiss”, Hao Ning pointed at Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan immediately couldn’t move, with just a few hits, Zhou Yuan’s face became red and swollen, so it could be seen that Zhou Yuan was serious.
“You’d better calm down and stay still for a while,” said Hao Ning with a sigh. He looked back at Xiao Hong, who stunned. “It’s a kind of acupoint kung fu skill that makes people unable to move.”
“This, does it work on God?” Xiao Hong hurriedly covered himself for fear that Hao Ning would give him a hit, “I suppose not?”
“Well, I haven’t tried it yet.” Hao Ning knew what Xiao Hong was thinking. This kid knew a lot, but he always had a desire to excel. In fact, he secretly compared Hao Ning and himself in his heart and wondered who was more powerful. He teased Xiao Hong and said, “Or, should I give it a try?”
“Well, forget it,” said Xiao Hong, covering himself more tightly and looking like a little girl worried about being insulted. “Let’s get down to business.”
“OK,” Hao Ning put his hands on the car seat and leaned forward, showing that he would not take action. “You just said that Zhou Yuan could not decide the life and death of his parents. What do you mean?”
“If Zhou Yuan’s Maserati bumps into people and kills them, Maserati would still be driven by Zhou Yuan, right?” Xiao Hong continued to explain, seeing Hao Ning nodded, “But for his parents’ imagination, if I don’t guess wrong, he only applies the spell to his parents, not even including himself. That is to say, the receiver is not everyone, but only his parents.”
“It’s natural. There’s no need to influence others, but why doesn’t it include himself?” After Hao Ning asked this question, he immediately understood, “Ah, yes, his purpose is to let his parents have a more perfect Zhou Yuan in their imagination, so why should his real body be in it? I see. You can go on.”
“It didn’t matter at first, but what if his parents wanted to die one day?” Xiao Hong continued, “For example, imagining that the building collapsed, or a knife stabbed directly, it would be like the person that Maserati hit‒”
“So, will they really die?” Hao Ning understood that if Maserati created by Zhou Yuan’s power could really kill people, the knife imagined by Zhou Yuan’s parents, which was also created by Zhou Yuan’s power would also kill them. “That is to say, his parents are likely to die because of the things they imagine in their minds?”
That could be the most breathtaking explanation of “kill oneself in the imagination”!
“Impossible, impossible!” Hao Ning immediately shook his head and said several “impossible”. Finally, he fell down on the back seat, watching Xiao Hong, and stopped talking.
“In the face of unacceptable facts,” Xiao Hong wryly smiled, “the second reaction is to refuse. Obviously, you have already reached level 2.”
“You know so much…” Hao Ning knew the theory Xiao Hong mentioned. It seemed that Xiao Hong learned a lot from Zhang Chi Hang in the new era, “Even if so, it doesn’t matter. Can’t Zhou Yuan remove the spell?”
“Cocoon yourself…” Xiao Hong looked at Zhou Yuan, who couldn’t move, and shook his head. “The art can’t beat fate. Fate can’t beat the hearts of the people. His parents have become the parents of the richest person in the country in their own world. One has a dream lover in her heart, and one has countless girls falling for him. What do you think will happen if the spell is removed?”
