"Ghost Gate."
"The organization I belong to is called Ghost Gate."
"I am the Ghost, Louis. We will be waiting for you, waiting for the day when you need us."
In the air, the clown was floating with a black umbrella in his hand, and his bright red suit was particularly eye-catching. His voice suddenly became serious, without the previous frivolity, but with the heaviness of the wheel of history.
As the clown finished his words, a crack gradually appeared in the static space around him.
There was a crisp sound like breaking glass, and Louis blinked.
At this moment, he was sitting under the shade of a big tree, with Xia Qianqing on his left and Yin Yun on his right.
He hadn't recovered yet, so he slowly reached out and touched his face.
Everything around, which was originally still, now became noisy again.
The shadow covered by the umbrella has long been illuminated again by the scorching sun.
Everything seemed to have returned to normal gears and began to turn peacefully.
"Where is the clown?" Louis asked Xia Qianqing.
Xia Qianqing was holding a balloon and a lighter in her hands. She tilted her head and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Let's go. I thought the mysterious gift package was something else, but it turned out to be a lighter."
"Lighter? Let me see." Louis took the lighter from Xia Qianqing and looked at it carefully.
Xia Qianqing looked at Louis's cautious look, showing a hint of confusion: "Do you smoke? Why haven't I seen you smoke before? If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Louis wasn't being pretentious, he really felt that there might be something special about this lighter.
He slowly put the lighter into his pocket and thanked Xia Qianqing: "Thank you."
"You are so polite. I am your girlfriend, why are you being polite to me? Whatever you want, as long as I have it, I will give it to you." Xia Qianqing was like a little fox. Following Louis' words, she clarified her identity, then grabbed Louis' arm tightly with both hands and pulled it towards herself, as if declaring her sovereignty.
"I don't like Louis. How could I like someone I hate? I'm just... afraid that Louis will fall in love with that little vixen! This is my treasure, I can't let others snatch her away!" Xia Qianqing comforted herself in her heart.
Louis has not yet noticed Xia Qianqing's little thoughts.
He just lowered his head and looked at the black lighter in his hand.
Why couldn't even Xia Qianqing see through the other party's true colors?
Didn't it say that [Identification], in addition to being able to view the abilities of people with a lower realm than oneself, all other people's numerical values were transparent?
But why did the [identification] fail this time?
Louis suddenly asked Xia Qianqing: "What did I say during the lottery?"
Xia Qianqing was stunned by the question, "What did you say?"
Yin Yun glanced at Xia Qianqing and let go of Louis' hand. "Just now when we were drawing the lottery, did Louis say anything? What's so hard to understand?"
Xia Qianqing's eyes looked even weirder. "So, why are you asking this?"
"I drew the Ace of Spades, what are yours?" Louis asked, changing the subject.
"Hmm... didn't you just praise me for my good luck?" Xia Qianqing showed a trace of doubt, "How come I forgot what I drew now? It's inexplicable. Louis, are you okay?"
Xia Qianqing subconsciously glanced at Louis's numbers and found that there was no problem.
Something is wrong, Louis thought to himself.
He was clearly talking to the guy codenamed "Lianggui".
At that time, the surroundings were clearly still, and he originally thought that the other party's ability was to stop time, stop space, or something like that.
But come to think of it, if that were really the case, it would be too outrageous.
Thinking back to what Liang Gui said at that time, that he himself was an illusion, and what Xia Qianqing said as "himself".
Louis had a rough guess in his mind.
The other party's ability should be to create illusions or something like that...
Then it all makes sense.
The reason why Xia Qianqing could not see anything unusual about the other party was not because the other party's values could not be [identified], but because the other party cast an illusion, so that the values Xia Qianqing saw were all normal values that had been tampered with.
And the time around him was not really still at that time, it was just an illusion created by the other party.
So when I woke up from the illusion, it seemed as if a piece of time was missing around me, and I did not return to the moment when time stopped.
......
Inside the cafe, the atmosphere is quiet and lazy.
A man walked in. He was wearing a clown mask and a bright red suit. His steps were exaggerated, as if he was performing an absurd comedy with every step.
"Mission accomplished." He swayed to the counter and sat down. Suddenly, an Ace of Spades appeared in his empty hand and he slowly placed it on the table. "Next, what do you want me to do?"
The waitress behind the counter, with a pretty face and wearing simple work clothes, turned her back to the customers, concentrating on making coffee, and replied calmly, "Wait."
"When he is in the most helpless situation, we will show our value when we show up again."
The waiter pushed the finished coffee in front of the other person and said, "Remember to pay for your latte."
"Tsk, you're so stingy." The man snatched the coffee and took a sip unhappily, with coffee foam staining the corners of his mouth. "No, I can't call you stingy. I should call you the deputy leader."
"When will the Ghost Spirit Deputy Leader, the Leader, wake up?"
The waiter continued to clean the coffee cups on the table, but his voice was as cold as an ice cellar, revealing a chilling chill: "Put away your arrogant face, or don't blame me for tearing your soul apart."
