A line of pale white slowly descended.

Just like a graceful segment extending slowly in the air, falling towards their location like dance steps.

In that instant, the overwhelming noise and countless chaotic vibrations completely vanished.

It was as if the mute button was pressed, and the world was silent.

Huai Shi was pinned to the deck by an invisible force, unable to move. When he tried to lift his eyes, all he could see was a haze of white light.

But Luo Su seemed completely unaware.

He continued to lower his head, casually tossing the card in his hand.

The card flew out from between his index and middle fingers, spinning and flipping in the frozen air, light as a flying bird, seemingly unfolding invisible wings, causing the world to overturn.

Huai Shi suddenly felt disoriented, as if the heavens and earth were spinning.

It was as if the card was still suspended in mid-air, never having moved an inch, and it wasn’t this printed white paper that was spinning, but the entire world!

The sky turned, the directions scrambled.

It wasn’t until the card fell silently into the pile that the tumultuous world returned to tranquility.

”Spade King.”

Luo Su said, ”I won, Huai Shi.”

”At this time, you’re still on about this!”

Huai Shi couldn’t understand what this old guy was talking about. Besides, he had seen it clearly, Luo Su had obviously thrown a red heart Ace!

But now, when the dust settled, the card in front of Huai Shi had changed along with everything else.

As if all that had happened was merely... an illusion?

Luo Su smiled, spreading his hands.

Like a magician at the end of a performance, revealing the trick.

Then, Huai Shi saw the line of frost descending at last, falling from the sky like a phantom, penetrating their bodies, the deck beneath their feet, and continuing straight down.

Only when it touched the sea did an ear-piercing roar erupt out of nowhere, followed by the terrifying white torrent spreading in all directions.

The cold wind wailed, enveloping everything, while the high-pitched sound of icebergs growing rang endlessly!

The turbulent surface of the sea froze in an instant, and the cold continued to spread downward to the seafloor, while also spreading upward, freezing the moisture in the air and forming a deadly white mist tornado.

A few seconds ago, a Creator had planted a frozen seed here, and a few seconds later, a towering tree rose from the ground, divided by the sea level, transformed into a half-gaseous, half-solid pale column!

All of this actually happened, yet also seemed not to happen.

Because two realities overlapped simultaneously.

Like two images with reduced transparency, layered together, presenting a bizarre picture that is both opposed and unified.

Huai Shi was trapped in confusion.

Unable to understand.

This was his first time witnessing Luo Su’s action, but he couldn’t comprehend what had transpired.

Was it the card or the world that was spinning? Where is the boundary between reality and illusion? Is it them that are illusionary or that strand of white mist?

Is the card really Spade King or Red Heart Ace?

”Magic time is over, Huai Shi.”

Luo Su slowly raised his hand, flipping the card that had fallen onto the ground, covering it back onto the pile, hiding the truth in the dark.

He smiled meaningfully: ”Being a good audience is enough, no need to delve into the principles, right?”

Thus, all illusions quickly blurred, the frozen world disappeared, and the sound of tides rose.

Calm and tranquil.

Nothing had occurred.

Yet the door finally opened.

Luo Su got up from the deck, dusted himself off, stretched out his stiff body, and cheerfully looked up, asking:

”Long time no see, Xear, are you well?”

No one replied, but Luo Su wasn’t the least bit anxious.

He just waited quietly.

As if he had enough patience to wait until the end of time.

”...”

After a long silence, a muffled voice came from the stone sphere: ”An annoying old ghost barged to my doorstep without any appointment, releasing twenty-four hours of noise, disturbing my research, exhausting my patience, squandering the last bit of goodwill I had towards him...

And now, he has the gall to ask if I’m well?

Really strange, Luo Su, how can someone so shameless exist in this world?

Do you genuinely care how others are doing?

If your brain isn’t malfunctioning, then let me tell you—I’m not well!”

Xear asked coldly, ”Now, can you leave?”

”I’m well!”

Luo Su spread his arms joyfully, ”If I remember correctly, after all these years, including before you left Utopia, this is the longest you’ve spoken to me!”

He took a deep breath and exclaimed, ”It’s truly flattering!”

Beside him, Huai Shi disdainfully moved a bit further away.

Does this guy really have no self-awareness of how annoying he is?

Then, Luo Su acted truly unfazed, like an annoying relative refreshing at the door during festive seasons, showing a cheerful smile:

”Since I’m here, how about having a meal before leaving?”

”...”

Xear didn’t speak.

Too angry.

What a tragedy.

Huai Shi couldn’t help but cover his face, as if witnessing a socially awkward recluse gradually blushing under the salesman’s silver tongue.
