The King's Avatar: Gun Soul

Chapter 18 True 'Lies'

In response to Mu Qiu's explanation, Xiao Ce could only smile bitterly and said, "You don't still want me to play professionally as a casual player, do you?"

Xiao Ce really had this feeling, otherwise why would Mu Qiu specially research and develop the Thousand Machine Umbrella that was more suitable for him?

"There are many professions and many paths. Just take your own path." Mu Qiu turned his head and changed the subject, "It's quite late. Go to bed early."

Only then did Xiao Ce notice the time. It was already 4:30 in the morning.

Taking a look at H City at 4:30 in the morning, Xiao Ce felt a little emotional.

The encounter with Mu Qiu was indeed a magical thing, and it also brought different colors to Xiao Ce's originally dull and monotonous life.

But how long can Mu Qiu stay with him? He is not sure. He is not sure why Mu Qiu exists. Maybe it is nostalgia or some kind of obsession.

With such emotions, Xiao Ce also had some insomnia. He tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep until seven in the morning.

When I woke up, I found it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Fuck, it's already two o'clock!" Xiao Ce glanced at the time, then quickly got up to wash and fix his hair.

If time wasn't insufficient, he would even like to take a shower first.

On the side, Mu Qiu also urged: "Hurry up, you're going to be late."

"Don't be anxious. You know I pay more attention to my image." Xiao Ce said.

"You're just meeting my sister. Why do you want to show off? If someone doesn't know you, they would think you're going on a date with someone else." Mu Qiu said unhappily.

"Okay." Seeing that he was so anxious, Xiao Ce simply packed up and went out to take a taxi.

However, when he arrived at the dessert shop for the date, Xiao Ce was already twenty minutes late.

In the store, Mu Cheng sat by the window and waved to Xiao Ce who had just walked in, "Here."

Xiao Ce walked over and sat down, then heard Mu Cheng ask, "What do you want to tell me?"

Xiao Ce did not answer immediately, but looked at Ye Xiu beside him.

I don’t really understand why Mu Cheng also called Ye Xiu, but if Ye Xiu is there, I can ask him some questions.

Then, Xiao Ce said, "Don't worry about Mu Qiu. I want to ask about Ye Xiu's retirement. Is there any hidden reason?"

After Xiao Ce finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xiu and heard the latter say, "There is no hidden secret. The club is gradually becoming commercialized, and I have never had any commercial value. Let's part ways in peace."

Ye Xiu said this lightly, but his subtle expression still betrayed him.

Seeing that Ye Xiu didn't intend to elaborate, Xiao Strategy glanced at Mu Qiu helplessly.

"I was originally planning to join your Excellent Era team, but if you retire, there will be nothing I can do." Xiao Ce sighed, and then asked, "What are your plans for the future? Which team have you considered joining after your comeback in a year?"

"We'll see when the time comes. I plan to play online games first." Ye Xiu responded, then looked at Xiao Ce and said, "Speaking of online games, is that you?"

Ye Xiu stared at Xiao Ce carefully, to see if there was any change in his expression.

He asked this directly just now, intending to catch the other party by surprise.

Sure enough, he noticed Xiao Ce's surprised expression and said, "It really is you."

"You even know it's me?" Xiao Ce was also a little unbelievable.

Then Ye Xiu said, "Your fighting style is very similar to Mu Qiu's."

After that, Ye Xiu raised his head and remained silent for a while, then slowly said, "I'm more curious about you. What is your relationship with Mu Qiu? Why didn't I know about you before?" Facing Ye Xiu's doubts, Xiao Ce looked at Mu Cheng and said, "Didn't you tell Ye Xiu?"

"What did I say?" Mu Cheng looked confused. She clearly knew nothing, okay?

Seeing her like this, Xiao Ce guessed that she didn't reveal her identity as a psychic, so he said, "My fighting style is similar to Mu Qiu's because I learned it from Mu Qiu. In fact, I am a psychic."

After saying that, Xiao Ce didn't wait for them to speak, and continued to add: "I know you don't believe it, but I have a way to make you believe it."

"What method?" Ye Xiu and Mu Cheng asked almost at the same time.

"I have the Thousand Chance Umbrella." Xiao Ce said this calmly, but it made both of them uneasy.

"You have the Thousand Machine Umbrella? Where is it?" Ye Xiu couldn't remain calm and asked anxiously.

"Where is it in the game?" Xiao Ce said as he took out an account card and placed it on the table. "It's in this character's backpack. I made it last night while staying up late."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Ye Xiu and Mu Cheng were both silent.

At this time, they were not in a hurry to verify whether the Thousand Machine Umbrella really existed in this account card.

If Xiao Ce wanted to deceive them, there was really no need to use this method.

What's more, they really couldn't think of any reason why Xiao Ce would lie to them.

However, Xiao Ce continued, "Mu Qiu told me that the reason you are called Ye Qiu is because you stole your brother's ID card and ran away from home, right?"

"Yes." Ye Xiu responded in a dull tone.

"So, you believe it, right?" Xiao Ce continued, "Sherlock Holmes once said this: Eliminate all the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth."

"Although I can't help you rule out all the impossibilities, what I said is the truth, and I hope you can believe me." Xiao Ce looked at the two of them sincerely and said seriously.

“But what you said is indeed hard to accept.” Ye Xiu said bitterly.

"Haha." Xiao Ce smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I just want to ask you, is it what I said that you find hard to accept? Or is it that you find it hard to accept the reality of Mu Qiu's existence?"

Xiao Ce's words are Wei: Attack the heart!

Seeing that they were still silent, Xiao Ce continued, "In fact, the first time I met Mu Qiu was three months ago, and I accepted it very quickly at that time. But you can't see Mu Qiu, so I understand that you can't accept it."

Ye Xiu immediately understood some key information and said, "You mean, you can see Mu Qiu?!"

"Yes, I can see him. These days, Mu Qiu and I have been working hard to find a way for you to see him as well, and we have some guesses now." Xiao Ce said.

Ye Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "I want to believe you too, so tell me your guess."

"Thunderstorm." Xiao Ce said these three words, and then explained some more metaphysical theories.

As for whether they could understand or not, Xiao Ce really didn't care.

The important thing is that they can believe it.

The only information Xiao Ce could tell them was that Mu Qiu's existence was similar to an "umbrella spirit" and that he could see them.

Ye Xiu and Mu Cheng also spent a long time trying to accept it, or rather, even if it was fake, they would rather believe it.

After all, this 'lie' was too real.
