Chapter 86 The Moment God Got in Trouble

“Good, you’re asking the essential part,” Zhou Yuan laughed. He didn’t look at Hao Ning, but he still nodded. “The fake I said is not to cheat people, but to show them what they want to see. Most times what people want to see is not real, but a fake that superimposed their subjective emotions.”

“What people want to see is usually not real ….” Hao Ning didn’t say anything as he continuously pondered in his heart over these words. For some reason, he thought of the Avalokiteshvara, and as for the falsehood of superimposed subjectivity, Hao Ning couldn’t help but think of a poem: For one who was sad, even the flowers cried; for those who had to separate, sounds of birds were shocking.

Since Hao Ning was silent, Zhou Yuan continued to speak, “And with this beautiful talent, I can turn reality into the one people desire the most, so I used this talent to combine a Mobike bicycle with a certain desire in people’s heart, and materialize the nothingness. Besides, most people would not notice any difference from the outside appearance, so when this car is driven out, it does not matter if it is a Maserati or not. What’s important is that to those passengers, it should be a Maserati that is running on the road, and nothing more. This is the biggest difference from using a camouflage trick. ”

“You didn’t get it?” Zhou Yuan realized that Hao Ning did not quite understand his words, so he continued to explain, “A camouflage trick presents the user’s imagination in front of others, but my talent is to make people see what they imagine. A camouflage trick cannot be touched, because it is easily exposed and people will know that it is fake. In Journey to the West, the stupid monkey Sun Wukong turned a couple of stones into people, but when Master Zhen Yuan damped those stone people into burning oil, the stones were still stones and even damaged his pot. However, if I use the talent of Moment God to the extreme, the stones people I make will not only scream in oil, but also act the same as real people if I want, and they will be burned out in the end. People may suspect other people, but not themselves. For example, if you want to be rich, you may doubt whether you can be rich or not, but not wondering if the desire to be rich is real. ”

Hao Ning did not bother with Zhou Yuan’s final question. He just laughed at him in his heart, “How dare you mention it! It was you who broke Master Zhen Yuan’s pot. Now you call yourself a stupid monkey. Is that a sort of self-suspect? ”

However, when he thought about it, he understood that Zhou Yuan did not know his relationship with Sun Wukong, so he did not want to be nosy. At that time, Great Sage Qi Tian told him to “wait until Zhou Yuan regain his true heart”. Now, he could not say if this person was Zhou Yuan himself or the Moment God.

“What are you laughing at?” Zhou Yuan asked curiously when he saw Hao Ning’s expression from the corner of his eyes.

“Hmm, nothing …” Hao Ning immediately shook his head. Looking at Zhou Yuan’s suspicious expression, he could only change the topic by pointing at Zhou Yuan’s feet movements and asked, “If it’s like what you said, then why you step on the gas pedal and brake just like you are stepping on bicycle pedals?”

“What? — Shit!” Zhou Yuan looked down and realized that he was actually “stepping on the gas pedal” like that. He then smiled with a bit of embarrassment, “Well, the car did become real, but my consciousness hasn’t caught up yet. Hahaha, what’s exposed isn’t the car, it’s me,” While speaking, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly asked Hao Ning, “But touch every part of this car. Doesn’t it feel the same as a real car?”

“Ugh …” Hao Ning touched the window and passenger seat. It was indeed like what Zhou Yuan said, that the car felt real. He turned on the radio, and then the whole car erupted with Gong Lin Na’s song lyric “Jin Gu Bang, the bang the bang the bang…” The song was so magical that Hao Ning’s head almost exploded, so he immediately turned it off.

“Oh my God …” Hao Ning wiped his sweat away. This Moment God indeed had a strange taste in music. After he calmed down, he thought of something and asked tentatively, “Today, I see that you have a layer of dazzling halo around you. As long as you are in my field of vision, everything else is void, and only you are dazzlingly bright.” Hao Ning looked at Zhou Yuan, and said word by word, “Is this also your talent? Maybe a part of your talent of beauty? ”

“Of course! Your real appearance is at least ten Instagram away from your photos in WeChat Moment! ” Zhou Yuan was both happy and frustrated when he said this, “Look at the pictures in WeChat Moment. People are so eager to fix their selfies that even their parents wouldn’t recognize them in photos. It is simply intolerable. They use all those techniques to fix their pictures to make them the most dazzling one in the photos. This is probably people’s desire for beauty, so I unconsciously acquired this so-called talent. However, it is also troublesome. For now, I don’t know how to control these talents. I cannot even tolerate those spontaneously radiant talents occurring in real life.”

“If you continue to shine by yourself like this,” Hao Ning thought about the people who posted photos with friends but only beautified their faces so that in the end, no one would take photos with them anymore. He couldn’t help but laugh, “You will probably lose all your friends.”

“Fine, let’s not talk about this anymore. We’re almost there.” Zhou Yuan reminded, “Let’s find a place to return the bicycle. I never thought that it would be even more jammed driving a car than riding a bicycle. We should have taken two bikes. Now such a long trip would cost me an additional fifty cents.”

“Damn,” Hao Ning looked at Zhou Yuan in disdain. He didn’t expect that this Moment God would be so stingy that he even cared about fifty cents when he drove a Maserati.

Zhou Yuan felt Hao Ning’s disdain and laughed embarrassedly, “It’s never a bad thing to save, ha-ha. Oh shit!”

Zhou Yuan saw something in front and immediately braked, causing Hao Ning to lean forward. If it weren’t for the safety belt, he would have stood up right away, which further confirmed that this “fake car” was “real”. Just then, Hao Ning looked forward and saw a person lying in front of the car, continually moaning, as though he had been knocked over, but Hao Ning carefully recalled that it did not feel like the car collided with anything. The two of them looked at each other and thought that they were in trouble. Zhou Yuan immediately got off the car, while Hao Ning did not say anything but extended his hand to fiddle with the car’s recording device. It turned out that the car was extremely realistic since the surveillance video immediately appeared. After Hao Ning oversaw the video, he immediately understood what was going on and slowly got off the car as well.

There was a hospital not far away from them, but the road was remote, and there was almost no one coming and going. Hao Ning thought that it was terrible luck. It was troublesome even to visit Qili. After that, he saw Zhou Yuan being pulled by the person on the ground, and Zhou Yuan was standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

At the moment, Hao Ning was looking carefully. That person was a middle-aged woman in her fifties or sixties who was lying on the ground, holding onto Zhou Yuan and not letting him go.

“Son, you want to run away after hitting someone? No way!” The woman was moaning on the ground and shouting. Her sound was so loud that it could be heard even from a few walls. When Hao Ning heard this person’s voice, he was amused, since she was robust after she was hit by a car. The woman was not paying attention to all this, as she cried and pulled Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan had never seen something like this before, so he was immediately scared stiff by the middle-aged woman, and quickly lowered his head and asked, “Madam, where are you hurt? Let me see. ”

“Ouch! Don’t touch my shoulder!” Hearing that Zhou Yuan wanted to see at her wounds, the woman immediately covered her entire body, “Don’t touch my shoulder! I hate people touching my shoulder! Also, don’t touch anywhere else! How come you take advantages of women at such a young age! What will you be when you grow up? ”

“Pfft ~” Hao Ning almost burst out laughing, since he never thought that this middle-aged woman could speak such fashionable phrases. She was quite aged, but she blamed Zhou Yuan, a young lad, to take her advantages. Zhou Yuan was fit, whether it is in terms of height or looks, and he intended to check her wounds. It was a question who was the one being taken advantages of.

It was evident that the woman was cheating for money. Hao Ning was not in a rush anymore, since everything was recorded in the driving recording device. Hao Ning also used his phone to record the video. Unfortunately, the Moment God was acting all weird when things went wrong. He was claiming his theory of fake, kindness, and beauty, while now he was scared stiff by the “fake” things in front of him that he almost lost his soul.

Zhou Yuan was already sweating anxiously and forgot to ask for help from Hao Ning. He hurriedly asked the woman, “Then what do you want us to do? How about we take you to the hospital?”
