Chapter 103: Soul-stealing power (Part 2)

Views:

"Soul-stealing?" Zheng Yubai thought to himself that the name was quite fitting. It seemed that the aliens all liked to give names to their own superpowers, such as Yang Feiyan's "Immobilization", Bianjie's "Super Ear", and so on.

"Speaking of his left eye, there is another story." Xu Ruoyu said with emotion, but he stopped there and didn't say much. Although Zheng Yubai was curious, he didn't ask much. If a person like Xu Ruoyu wanted to talk, he didn't need to ask. If he didn't want to talk, no matter how hard you talked, you wouldn't hear even a single useful word.

"Uncle, what you mean is, does practicing with iron beans have any other effects?" Zheng Yubai asked, looking at the two black and white bags of iron beans in front of him.

"If I just keep practicing like this, I won't be able to beat Gao Fei." Xu Ruoyu stood up, walked to the window, and pulled the curtains shut with a rustle.

The curtains in this room were very thick, covering the windows tightly, so no light could get in. There was no light in the room, so it was pitch black. Although it was not so dark that I couldn't see my hand in front of me, it was still difficult to see.

"Your eyesight should be good, right?" Xu Ruoyu asked.

"Not bad." Zheng Yubai said modestly. In fact, his eyesight was more than just good. Although he couldn't tell whether a fly passing by was male or female, he was much more perceptive than ordinary people.

"Close your eyes." Xu Ruoyu said as he poured the iron beans that Zheng Yubai had sorted with great difficulty back into a bag and turned his palm over several times.

Although the room was dark, Zheng Yubai could still vaguely see the black and white beans mixed together. If he wanted to separate them, it would probably take several more hours of effort. While thinking about Xu Ruoyu's intention, he slowly closed his eyes.

"In the three months from now, you don't have to touch mahjong or playing poker. You don't even have to think about what gambling skills are. As long as you can completely sort out the black and white broad beans under the current circumstances, you can defeat Gao Fei." Just when Zheng Yubai was a little confused, Xu Ruoyu spoke.

Are you kidding me? It was pitch black in front of him and he couldn't see anything. How could he sort the iron beans? Zheng Yubai was stunned.

As if aware of Zheng Yubai's confusion, Xu Ruoyu slowly explained: "Can you avoid Gao Fei's left eye?"

Thinking of his own experience of being bewitched by Gao Fei's left eye twice, Zheng Yubai really didn't have the confidence to avoid his sharp superpower. He could only say: "No."

"Gao Fei can use the Soul Stealing Technique to see through your cards, so psychological tactics are useless against him. His gambling skills are very advanced, and combined with his superpowers, he has been invincible for a long time. Any conventional tactics are useless if you want to deal with him." Xu Ruoyu said.

"What about this iron bean?"

"But if you close your eyes and bet with him, will his soul-stealing still work?" Xu Ruoyu asked back.

Zheng Yubai's mind suddenly became clear. Soul-stealing should be a supernatural power that uses eye contact to create a hallucination. If he closed his eyes, he would not be frightened by soul-stealing.

"As long as you can sort the black and white beans in the dark, you can close your eyes and bet against Gao Fei, and you will have a 50% chance of survival."

After listening to Xu Ruoyu's words, Zheng Yubai finally understood. He groped his hand into his pocket and touched the iron beans one by one. Each one felt the same, so how could he distinguish black from white

"I'll give you a week to figure out the mystery yourself." Xu Ruoyu said, then stood up and walked out of the room.

Zheng Yubai stayed in the darkness, stroking each bean with his fingers. In the darkness, his thoughts and feelings seemed to be magnified countless times, but even so, he still couldn't tell whether the iron bean in his hand was black or white.

Can such a mysterious thing really be done? Zheng Yubai got on the bus to the city with his bag in hand, doubtful. Cultivation is indeed important, and the work of the safe apartment cannot be delayed.

At night, when the guests in the apartment were asleep, Zheng Yubai trained alone in the dark hall. His fingers touched the broad beans little by little, not missing any traces, but he could not judge black and white anyway.

After turning on the light and picking out two broad beans, one black and one white, and placing them in front of him, Zheng Yubai still couldn't figure out how to tell them apart.

Could Xu Ruoyu be bluffing? Zheng Yubai looked at the tiny iron bean helplessly.

Fortunately, this suspicion only flashed through his mind. Anyway, there was only one week, so he could just practice the sensitivity of his fingers. Zheng Yubai did not give up. He kept looking for the connection between the black and white beans that night, and it passed very quickly.

Just as he was about to go home early in the morning, his cell phone rang. It was a text message from Yang Feiyan. Zheng Yubai then remembered that he and Yang Feiyan had agreed to visit Zhang Daosheng today.

When they arrived at the station, Yang Feiyan was already there. She pouted as soon as she saw Zheng Yubai: "You are late, one piece of cake every five minutes, you owe me three pieces!"

"No problem, I'll buy it for you when I come back." Facing the greedy and unruly Yang Feiyan, Zheng Yubai really had no choice.

"That's more like it. I skipped school to accompany you, you can't lie to me." Yang Feiyan laughed.

Soon they arrived in the suburbs. As soon as they got off the car, a cold wind blew past. Yang Feiyan couldn't help but shrink her neck and complain, "It's so cold, so cold. I need another box of ice cream!"

Zheng Yubai looked at her helplessly, not understanding why she wanted to eat ice cream when it was so cold.

The two of them came to the gloomy "ghost building" of the Superman Association. The big iron gate remained the same as it was last time. It seemed that no one was taking care of the yard. However, the fallen leaves in the yard were covered with a thick layer of snow last time, and they were dressed in white.

The two walked into the yard, their feet stepped on the soft snow in the yard, making a "crunching" sound. Yang Feiyan was very naughty, running happily on the snow, Zheng Yubai looked at her lively appearance and couldn't help laughing.

The door opened, Zhang Daosheng half exposed his body, and smiled at them: "It's cold outside, why don't you come in?"

Sitting in the warm reception room, Zheng Yubai took a sip of hot tea and told Zhang Daosheng exactly what he had encountered.

Zhang Daosheng listened to Zheng Yubai's story with a serious face, and after a moment's silence, he said, "I know a little bit about the fact that the God of Gamblers Gao Fei has superpowers. People from the association have contacted him before, hoping that he could join and study together. Unfortunately, this person was bound by fame and fortune and did not agree. His ability is indeed as you said, a powerful illusion ability called soul-stealing. This kind of superpower has almost no way to crack it."

"Is it not possible to just close my eyes?" Zheng Yubai thought of Xu Ruoyu's method.

"I can't guarantee it. Superpowers don't always maintain the same power. If you practice hard, their power will increase. I haven't seen him, so I don't know what level he has reached," said Zhang Daosheng.

"Is there any other way to restrain him?" Zheng Yubai asked.

Zhang Daosheng glanced at Yang Feiyan and nodded: "Yes. Yang Feiyan's brother Yang Feiyun's superpower of soul cleansing can deal with soul snatching." (To be continued)
