Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 732 The Goose in a Pouch

Shang Xia still went up, but Zheng Fan didn't think highly of her. After all, her range of seriousness and non-seriousness was very clear. Under such circumstances, she was not someone who liked to make predictions. Her usual fighting style was to go straight for the opponent with an axe.

You think she's anticipating events, but she's actually just reacting much faster than others thanks to her super-fast reaction time.

It seems like Shangxia has been dealing with these geese for quite some time.

After Lin Yilin helped pay the bill, Shang Xia picked up the ring, pretended to aim it, and then threw it.

As expected, it was very casual. Shang Xia would be the most down-to-earth type even in superhero movies, keeping his private life and supernatural abilities very separate.

The erratic trajectory showed that she hadn't used much force, and the angle and direction didn't reveal what she had been aiming at.

The goose that Shangxia had targeted noticed the unusual airflow behind its head, turned its head sharply, but after only a quick glance, it turned its head back out of boredom.

slap.

The ring lightly touched the goose's rump and bounced to the ground.

A white goose immediately came over, picked up the ring, put it on its beak and spun it around a few times without letting it fall, and finally wobbled as it returned it to the smiling owner on the sidelines.

Laughter, cheers, and applause erupted from the sidelines.

Zheng Fan also applauded.

These geese are very obedient. Although not many of them have a clear consciousness, they can all follow instructions very well. For example, they can avoid the ring, pick up the ring, perform tricks, and return it to their owner.

"Awoo~." Toast looked disdainful. Although it was impossible to tell if it was making an expression, Zheng Fan knew anyway.

"What, do you want me to make you a whole toast game?"

"Awooo!" Toast, of course, refused. The great and perfect Toast could not be treated like a circus animal by these foolish mortal ants!
The quilt-like air-conditioning quilt is not as conspicuous as the cotton quilt, and it can be crumpled into a ball, making it easier to stuff into a backpack. Lin Yilin specially carried a bag with it, and at this moment, she was also secretly peeking out from the bag.

"You want to play too?" Zheng Fan realized what it was thinking after it intentionally or unintentionally brushed against him.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the three boys don't really hide their thoughts at all.

Lulu Shoes and the Blanket Spirit are still too naive, while Toast has a kind of innocent foolishness. There's no need to say this to Toast, or he'll throw a tantrum.

The quilt spirit responded with an affirmative attitude.

LuLu wasn't interested in that. Zheng Fan noticed that it was looking at the small bumper cars in the distance. The cars were very small and could only be ridden by small children and adults of small stature.

The streets of these closed-off communities are getting more and more impressive. I wonder if they'll build an amusement park nearby someday?

LuLu shoes have a certain longing for bumper cars.

Zheng Fan thought for a moment, then spoke to Lin Yilin about it. Lin Yilin then paid for a few more rings and stood next to Shang Xia.

Using fantasy objects to play games is naturally prohibited in these roadside games, as it falls under the category of supernatural forces.

However, it was just a roadside stall after all, and even the instruments used to detect the supernatural weren't exactly high-end or sophisticated. Lin Yilin easily swayed them with a few simple movements.

At this point, Shang Xia was already a bit carried away. Zheng Fan's thoughts were correct; even if she went to the side to shoot targets, she would have a better future than catching geese.

After a few rings were thrown, the first goose that was targeted nimbly dodged them with a twist of its neck and a wag of its tail.

Finally, it opened its mouth as if to yawn.

Shang Xia puffed up her cheeks again, her fair face turning slightly red.

Seeing this, Lin Yilin gave all the rings she had to Shang Xia, keeping only one for herself. Shang Xia thanked her and continued fighting.

At this moment, Zheng Fan noticed that the little sister from Shangxia seemed to be getting restless as well.

My presence is diminishing...

Oh, yes, little sister Shang Xia doesn't really have any special abilities to use. The woman from the capital city, unable to catch a goose by the roadside, angrily activated her superpowers, ultimately successfully reducing her own visibility… This is something you can't tell others. But the situation isn't that simple. Shang Xia's gaze calmed, and she raised a plastic ring in her hand. With her visibility significantly reduced, even Zheng Fan would have a hard time locking onto her if he accidentally lost sight of her.

It shouldn't have gone this far.

Swish!
Not long after, Shang Xia locked onto her target and threw the ring. As the object that came into contact with her, the ring was also affected by her. Its flight was subconsciously ignored by everyone, and naturally, the goose couldn't sense it either, including the ring stirring up the air currents as it flew through the air.

So that's how it is. Lowering one's presence is to prevent the opponent from noticing one's attack, or even reacting to the flying ring.

Shang Xia's abilities, or rather her characteristics, are perfectly suited for "face-to-face assassination," which isn't something you can detect simply by staring at her or having sufficiently sharp and detached senses. She's like someone who actively makes you ignore her and the chain reaction caused by her actions.

Of course, no matter how impressive she sounds, she's currently using this superpower to trap geese.

Therefore, the outcome seems to be already decided...

slap.

The ring struck the goose's neck, and the goose, startled, turned its head to look at the plastic ring that had fallen to the ground and was gently spinning. You could feel its shock.

It only noticed the ring had hit it right away!

As the person directly involved... the goose's feelings are the most obvious, but for passersby and even the owner on the sidelines, it's just that Shang Xia threw a ring when they weren't paying attention and then missed, so it's not surprising at this point.

"Hah!" The goose let out a threatening cry at Shang Xia, and even spread its wings.

There was another burst of laughter from the sidelines. It seemed that the goose had been being watched and thrown by Shang Xia, and this incident finally made the goose angry.

Shang Xia... lowered his head, his face flushed, and now he just wanted to disappear completely, his presence gone. He'd gone to such lengths, even resorting to cheating with superpowers in a fit of rage, only to find out in the end that it wasn't the goose's fault.

She was never going to miss.

call out!
Suddenly, a ring stealthily swept low overhead. The goose, which was initially startled and angry, reacted quickly, flapping its wings and shifting its body to the side, just as the ring grazed right over its head.

That was close! I almost got tricked. That move was so precise and fast, and it caught me off guard when I wasn't paying attention. It was really cunning and treacherous, much better than that white-haired human.

The goose's heart had just begun to fill with admiration...

Behind the large goose was a rather temperamental white goose that didn't like to dodge; instead, it preferred to slap away or even catch the rings thrown at it as a form of mockery.

The goose dodged, and Huan charged at it. The goose reacted immediately, turning its head and flapping its wings to send Huan flying.

However, this caused the ring to come back around, and just as the goose landed and was unable to move, only able to barely turn its neck to try to avoid it, it looped around its neck.

"Ah..." The goose lowered its head, but quickly raised it again, its eyes now showing a hint of resignation to its fate.

I concede defeat willingly; I accept my loss. The goose is truly impressed.

Being tricked by such a master, even if it's captured and used to make soup, it's willing to accept it!
Thinking of this, the goose's eyes sparkled like stars, as if revealing a spirit of gold.

"Boss, we don't need the goose. It's not for bonuses, we're just having fun."

Then, Lin Yilin's calm voice was heard speaking. At that moment, the corner of the blanket sticking out of the backpack behind her was swaying happily, like the little tail of some kind of animal.

The ring was thrown by the quilt spirit. Lin Yilin pretended to throw it, but actually handed it over to the quilt that was sticking out of her backpack before throwing it.

She was very fast and didn't have to worry about being recognized. Even though Lin Yilin's combat strength was considered the lowest among Zheng Fan's men, she was still a top expert compared to the vast majority of people in Dadu.

Apart from that, she did not provide any assistance, seize the right moment or angle, and even the subsequent calculations were all arranged by the quilt spirit.

What a thoroughly enjoyable game of trapping geese!

Aside from Shang Xia, the woman from Dadu who, after a smooth-sailing life, encountered a goose on the roadside and realized that "the world does not revolve around her," she experienced a setback she had never felt before when facing Zheng Fan.
