Chapter 429 Believe in Science



Xi Yan slowly released his grip. The person who was supposed to be upside down didn't react at all, as if he had always been standing on it. Apart from feeling a little dizzy, he quickly said, "I can stand steadily without any special abilities. You guys try it."

Zhuge Qianxing first unbuckled the seatbelt. Just as Xi Yan had said, there was no discomfort at all. However, he was 100% certain that they had overturned. They were upside down, and the wine next to them hadn't spilled. It was as if it was embedded in the seat next to them, not moving at all. He even picked it up and put it back, but it still didn't move in the same place.

The others slowly unbuckled their seatbelts and found that nothing had happened. They clearly felt that they were upside down and unrestrained, and everyone was sitting steadily. The small ornaments placed casually next to them were also steady. For a moment, they were a little confused.

Xi Yan said, "I'll open the door and see what's going on."

After saying that, he walked over and opened the door, and the snow outside immediately poured in, blocking the doorway.

Xi Yan was too close to the small space to dodge in time, and his legs were buried. Just as he tried to pull his legs out, he found that the snow seemed to have been trampled down, and his legs could not get out at all. He tried to use his superpower, but found that the power of his superpower was negligible, and the snow could not be melted at all.

Zhu Fanfan's "Nothing's Wrong" sign reacted, and Zhu Fanfan quickly channeled her supernatural power, connecting the call and asking, "How are things on your end?"

Yuanyuan replied, "We're fine here. The communicator isn't working. We're buried and can't get out. Our superpowers aren't working right now. Elder Wu is using a stick to test how far we are from the ground."

Elder Li's magic staff was made by some skilled craftsman from his ancestors. It could extend and retract, just like the Monkey King's golden cudgel. Elder Li treasured it very much.

Zhu Fanfan asked, "How do you guys have sticks? Besides, how long can a stick be?"

Yuanyuan replied, "The stick is Elder Li's weapon. It can extend infinitely. Elder Wu was afraid that he wouldn't have enough weapons, so he stole Elder Li's magic stick when he left."

Immediately, Elder Wu's voice came from Zhu Fanfan's side: "What do you mean by stolen? I borrowed it from him openly and honestly. He was just shy and wouldn't lend it to me, so I took it myself because I was afraid he would feel embarrassed."

Zhu Fanfan: ...Do you want to hear what you're saying?

Zhu Fanfan looked at Zhuge Qianxing, who couldn't stand it anymore: "Why are you looking at me? I didn't teach him. I couldn't have taught such a despicable person."

Elder Wu said from the other end, "When I went there, I said you wanted me to take it."

Zhuge Qianxing wanted to curse: "Why are you dragging my name into this? You know how incorruptible that guy is. You just wait, when we get back, I'll show you what I'm made of."

Do they all have no idea how old they are? Stealing and then framing someone, and to make matters worse, they even managed to frame him. Do they really think his shield is invincible?

Elder Wu said matter-of-factly, "You're the one who told me to choose the weapon that I felt comfortable with."

Zhuge Qianxing said angrily, "I told you to go to the armory to choose, who told you to choose from Elder Li?"

Elder Wu's momentum weakened a bit: "It doesn't matter where you choose, his place is closer."

Zhu Fanfan quickly interrupted, "We can talk about that later. Grandpa Wu, did Xue come in after you opened the door?"

If this goes on, it'll be dark by the time we get there. Back then, Elder Dan cried until his tears dried up before he stopped. I'm afraid Elder Wu will keep going on and on. These elders look very imposing and are even older than Grandpa Zhuge, but in front of him, they all act like childish kids.

Elder Wu complained, “Once we got in, the snow was like chunks of stone, so hard to clear. Our supernatural abilities weren’t very effective. We had to push and shove our way out. I’m telling you, don’t go out. The snow outside is so light; one step and you can disappear.”

Zhu Fanfan suddenly asked, "Is your car upright?"

Elder Wu naturally replied, "The car is naturally upright. Could it be... that your car overturned?"

Zhu Fanfan looked at Zhuge Qianxing, who was puzzled: "Why are you looking at me? I didn't overturn the car."

Zhu Fanfan asked curiously, "I'm wondering why it's so easy for you to open the door, but so difficult to get Xue out once she's inside?"

Elder Wu asked curiously, "Isn't Haibu a space-type user? Have him get the snow out."

Everyone: ...Why didn't they think of that?

The pressure was immediately put on Haibu. Haibu didn't say anything and tried to use his powers to move the snow away.

Zhuge Qianxing looked at Zhu Fanfan, prompting Zhu Fanfan to ask, "Why are you looking at me?"

Zhuge Qianxing reminded him, "You are also a space-type user."

Zhu Fanfan slapped his forehead: "Basically, no need. I forgot. I only know how to tear apart space. You want me to tear apart the snow?"

She used her mental power more often, and later she also got used to using metal-based abilities. Because she had space, she didn't need to use tearing attacks at all. The space tearing technique she had just learned was somewhat useless, and she hadn't used it much.

Zhuge Qianxing couldn't help but clap his hands: "You're really something. Spatial abilities are even more precious than mental abilities, and you've just left them to gather ashes."

Zhu Fanfan could only say, "I'll give it a try and see if it works."

He couldn't hold on for long after using his powers for only a short time, and apologized, "My powers are being used up too quickly, I can't use them anymore."

Who knew that the supernatural abilities here would be consumed so quickly, even cultivation couldn't keep up with the demand.

Zhuge Qianxing looked at the tiny wound in front of Xue and thought it was less damaging than kicking her twice! However, Haibu was quite helpful; he cleared all the snow from inside the car except for the small one under Xi Yan's feet. But Haibu went on strike: "My powers are a bit depleted; I need to rest for a while."

Zhuge Qianxing: ...Have some shame! You just don't like Xi Yan and want to get revenge on him.

Haibu: ...Just say whatever you want, anyway, he's just really overusing his powers.

Xi Yan was quite speechless as he used his fists to smash the snow down bit by bit. He had internal strength, so it didn't take much effort. When he got to the last bit, he pushed off with his foot and the snow came out. He then threw the snow scraps away.

Zhu Fanfan asked, "Grandpa Wu has a baguette that can measure the height above the ground. How can we measure the height of someone who is buried?"

Zhuge Qianxing looked outside: "I'm more curious about why the same snow is soft outside but hard as stone inside the car. I'll go outside and try it out to see if I can use my powers outside."

Zhu Fanfan suddenly asked curiously, "Is this a curse, or is it really the work of some mountain god?"

This is really unusual; maybe she just hasn't seen much of this before!

To everyone's surprise, Zhuge Qianxing, who was standing at the car door, stopped in his tracks: "This is a new country, a new system, a new society. Those feudal superstitions are unacceptable. This is just a coincidence. Where did this curse come from? Don't be influenced by others."

Zhu Fanfan explained, "But there are many events that science cannot explain."

Zhuge Qianxing asked, "What can't be explained?"

Zhu Fanfan said, "First of all, you can't deny that there are souls in this world, which are the legendary ghosts."

Zhuge Qianxing immediately retorted: "Those ghosts are just figments of people's imaginations; they don't exist at all. They are hallucinations caused by extreme fear. Otherwise, why can only I see them and not others?"

Zhu Fanfan asked again, "Someone even saw the King of Hell's palace, saying that he was not destined to die and was sent back."

These were all supernatural stories that the adults in her family often told her, and she had always been curious whether they were true. It was rare for her to meet a master of metaphysics who actually talked to her about science.

Zhuge Qianxing explained again: "That's the human will to live at work. The body is a very magical thing. When you are on the verge of death, the body does not want to die. Every organ and every inch of skin will mobilize energy to help the body get through the life-or-death situation. When the body's energy is mobilized, and you can catch your breath, can't you be brought back to life?"

Zhu Fanfan was speechless: "You, a master of metaphysics, are telling me to believe in science?"

Zhuge Qianxing said with certainty: "We are now in a new society. We must trust the national policies and trust science."

Zhu Fanfan asked, "You've said so much, you're not afraid to go down and test it, are you?"
