160: Chapter 56: Passerby 160: Chapter 56: Passerby At the same time, in the central district.
“Aaaaah, scary, scary, I was scared to death aaaaaah!!!!”
A pink-haired girl, shaking all over, was sitting in the back seat of a bright red sports car.
She was holding a black portable player in her hands.
In the driver’s seat, Mr.
Shiyu chuckled and said, “Think positively, you and Gongsun and the others saved the world.”
Miss Qiluo, with tears welling up, said, “The knife went right past my scalp!
My head almost fell off!!”
“No worries, no worries, with today’s technology we could reattach it in no time,” teased Kardesia from the passenger seat, scaring the passenger, “Compared to that, what exactly did you guys do?”
“It was a last-minute plan by Gongsun Ce!!”
Miss Qiluo, trembling, began to describe a tactic thought up by a superpower user while on the road.
(He used Creation Realm?!
On the same level as Yan Qi?!)
(Strictly speaking, stronger than you imagine.
Just like the Divine Communication Mages you fought before vary in strength, there is also a disparity in combat power within the Creator Realm Mages.
Sky Extreme and Ming Guest are both recognized as one of the pinnacles within this realm.)
(I need to sort this out.
Is Creation Realm stronger than you and Shiyu Ling, and they are stronger than ordinary Creation Realm, is that the relationship?)
(Pretty much got it right.)
(F*** then what’s the point in me fighting.
Where the hell is Yan Qi?!
The city is about to get annihilated, and where is this guy!!!)
(I understand how you feel, but swearing at me won’t help, your character is about to collapse.
I’ve tried several times but can’t reach Mr.
Yan Qi, clearly he’s also encountered problems.
Officials should have already taken action, but the probability of stopping Ming Guest…
(Sigh, calm down, don’t rush, tsk…
thank you, I got it.)
After thinking for a while, Gongsun Ce asked,
Shiyu, if I want to achieve this effect: to make someone’s actions untraceable and undetected for a short time, what would be the cost?)
While Gongsun Ce was exchanging with Shiyu Lianyi, he learned about the desperate disparity in strength between them.
Ming Guest is the highest level in Creation Realm, on par with Sky Extreme and the Knight of Dawn from back in the day.
Even if Gongsun Ce drew the Final Sword, he absolutely wouldn’t stand a chance.
So he could only outwit.
The key to stopping Ming Guest was the portable player; getting it back meant that even Ming Guest shouldn’t be able to drive millions mad in a short duration.
Thus, he thought of Qiluo, who only he could “see.”
Now, there was no need to worry about involving irrelevant people; with a Creator Realm Mage gone mad, most likely everyone was doomed, might as well give his last best shot.
— “Miss Qiluo, to put it simply, the city of the sky might be crashing down, I’m heading out to risk my life against a madman named Ming Guest.
I know this is tough for you…”
— “Just leave it to me, Gongsun Ce!
Everyone has done so much for me, how can I just stand by and do nothing!!”
Fortunately, Miss Qiluo was very aware.
So, with Qiluo’s precise assistance, Gongsun Ce made a counterfeit that in outward appearance, weight, and touch was exactly like the original portable player…
and used Qiluo’s ability to change its color identical to the original.
This was the least he could think of for intelligence interference.
If Ming Guest could spot this fake at a glance, then he might as well doubt if the guy’s eyeballs were gifts from the Netherworld Dragon.
Subsequently, Shiyu Lianyi remotely added a second layer of insurance, Qiluo hid her form using her powers, and Mr.
Shiyu used the effect of Curse Scale to erase traces of her movements, minimizing the likelihood of detection, achieving double concealment.
Finally, came the crucial step of the switcheroo.
Switch the genuine article with the counterfeit.
Naturally, this was the objective of the string of nonsense the sullen young man initially spouted.
To make Ming Guest lower his guard, to make Ming Guest think he didn’t understand the situation, to make Ming Guest voluntarily take out the portable player, then…
“In the eyes of Ming Guest and Qin Qianbai, it must have seemed like Gongsun Ce swiped that portable player over.”
Qiluo described the scene meticulously.
“But actually, it wasn’t like that.
Gongsun Ce said he wasn’t confident about snatching the portable player directly from Ming Guest, he said he’d definitely be stopped midway…
so, he only knocked the real portable player to the side.”
“What really happened was, after hearing the signal, I tossed out the counterfeit in my hand and grabbed the real one struck aside by Gongsun Ce, while Gongsun Ce pretended to go after the fake portable player I threw.”
What Ming Guest saw was this final scene.
Anyone would think that this desperately fighting young man was grabbing the real deal.
Who would think that a “non-existent” third person was standing aside, tucking away the real goods?
“If it weren’t for this move, he might have noticed something off, but having seen this scene, his attention would definitely concentrate on the fake…” this is what Gongsun Ce said.
Afterward, frightened, Qiluo fled the scene using a white-glazed glider she had prepared in advance.
Kardesia, using a flame to create an updraft, caught Qiluo, and the three temporarily gathered in the car.
Having heard the whole thing, Kardesia, with a stone-faced comment, said, “Sometimes his acting scares me.”
The suit-wearing young man, feeling the same, made an excuse for his friend out of camaraderie.
“Gongsun also had no choice…
consider it a struggle under immense pressure.”
Miss Qiluo, wiping tears and with a sad face, said, “Thinking about it now, this plan has lots of flaws ah!
If there was a chance to knock the portable player away, why didn’t they just smash it…”
