"ha??"
Meng Feifei was completely bewildered: "Magic?? You're saying what we just saw was magic?!"
“Yes,” Hua Lingze said calmly. “In fact, magic and illusion are essentially the same thing. They both use illusions to deceive your eyes and brain. However, illusion can directly attack the mental power of the human brain, while magic cannot. Magic can only deceive. In a sense, illusion is an upgraded version of brain deception that evolved from magic.”
The monkey asked in surprise, "So... what was the hole we saw in the barrier wall back then...?"
“Hmm, it should just be an optical illusion.” Hua Lingze took out a pen and drew a hole on the wall: “If we actually reach out and touch it, we will find that the hole does not exist.”
"Unlike illusions, magic doesn't create irresistible illusions directly in the brain, so it can only use various visual illusions and misleading techniques to fool our brains."
After hearing this, Meng Feifei burst into laughter: "Haha, I never expected that even though we broke the illusion, we were completely fooled by the most primitive magic trick!"
“That’s not quite right,” Truman said. “For superhumans, the mental control of illusions is very easy to detect. Unless the other party’s strength level is much, much higher than ours, we will quickly realize that we have been under an illusion.”
"But magic is different. Magic doesn't use any supernatural abilities. If a magic event happens and you're not told beforehand that it's magic, you might not even realize that it's fake."
Yu Yuanyuan thought for a moment: "That's true. At that time, I only checked each of our mental states to confirm that we weren't under illusion, but I didn't even consider the possibility of magic..."
Mu Xun slowly said, "Well, Lin Nai must have taken advantage of the loopholes in our thinking, which is why he was able to deceive all the Dark Moon members with such a simple illusion. I think he probably copied Hua Lingze's magic skills."
"So that means..." Lu Xiaoda paused, "...before the dimensional army inside the city rushed out and broke the barrier, was Lin Nai with us the whole time...?"
“Hmm.” Hua Lingze nodded, a playful look in his eyes: “I think he was disguised among our Dark Moon members at the time. After the barrier was lifted, he entered the city with us.”
Monkey: "Then who is he pretending to be?"
Hua Lingze shrugged: "I have no idea about that."
Mu Xun fell silent, deep in thought.
......
A room in the hotel.
Ming Tian stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, now dressed in a loose black bathrobe. He gazed intently at the night outside, shrouded in purple mist, and held a wine glass in one hand, gently swirling the wine inside.
"I never expected Carlos to be so powerful. Linna only possessed 3% of the White Death God's power, yet he was able to completely outmaneuver us."
A male Darkmoon member, completely wrapped in bandages and bound like a mummy, said in a hoarse voice, "I wonder where he's hiding now."
Another female Darkmoon member with an E-cup figure said, "Old Zhou has given a death order: we must find Lin Nai and his two companions by tomorrow, even if it means turning the whole city upside down. And we absolutely cannot let him get close to the first restricted area."
"Tch..." The man spat out, his face darkening. "The capital is so big, where are we supposed to find anyone?! They make it sound so easy for them..."
"Alright, mummy, stop complaining," the woman said. "The capital city is more heavily guarded than the city of Shanhai. There are demonic eyes watching everywhere. I think even if Linnai manages to sneak into the city, he will have a hard time moving around."
"Ina, you make it sound so simple," the mummy man scoffed. "It's nighttime now, which should be the time when the city's dark forces are at their strongest. Linna should be even less able to hide, but he hasn't been discovered by the city's dark clones yet, which means he's already found a place to hide! There might even be someone in the city helping him. If even the city's dark forces can't find him at night, do you think we can find him during the day?"
Ina exclaimed in surprise, "You mean there are rebel spies inside the city??"
"How would I know? It's just a reasonable guess," the mummy waved its hand.
Ina looked at Mingtian: "Captain Mingtian, do you have any clues? Where do you think Linna might be hiding?"
“Well…” Ming Tian stood in front of the large French windows with his back to them, took a sip of fine wine, and then said, “Perhaps it is hidden in the middle of our Dark Moon.”
Ina was shocked: "Hidden in the middle of our Dark Moon?!? What does that mean?!"
The mummy looked at Mingtian's retreating figure with a strange expression and said, "You're not suggesting that Linnai disguised himself as one of our Dark Moon members and mingled among us, are you?"
Ming Tian slowly turned around, revealing a faint smile: "Why is it impossible?"
The mummy stared blankly at Mingtian for a long while, then suddenly sensed something was wrong, because he noticed that Mingtian's eyes were gradually turning silver-gray...
The mummy's eyes widened suddenly: "You are... Linna?!? You...!"
"The Gray Eyes!"
Buzz—
Mingtian's pupils turned completely silver-gray, releasing a powerful mental impact.
"Well...!"
The mummy and Ina both groaned simultaneously, their eyes then became unfocused, and they collapsed one after the other.
Ming Tian remained calm and composed, taking another leisurely sip of his wine.
The shadow beneath him began to twist and distort.
Then the shadows gradually swelled up, and the three figures slowly appeared as if they were rising from a dark mud pit.
The three are: Night, Sherry... and Mingtian, whose body is bound hand and foot and whose mouth is taped shut.
