Chapter 206: Father and Illusion
After hearing this voice, Zhou Xinming suddenly collided head-on with several people.
There were five people on the other side, including two adults, a man with a sharp beak and a fatter woman, while the other three were children no more than five years old, two men and one woman, obviously a family.
Although Zhou Xinming hadn't met them for a long time, he still recognized the man at a glance, this person was Zhou Xinming's biological father, or someone who used to be his father and then established a new family.
The principle of this matter is actually very simple, that is, Zhou Xinming's biological parents divorced when he was 5 years old, his mother didn't know where to go, and his father set up a new family a few days later, and he didn't want to fulfill his obligations to him.
As for what happened to his father later, Zhou Xinming didn't know, and he didn't want to know, but it was obvious that the other party had set up a big family, and it seemed that he was having a good time in the mall.
But the moment he saw Zhou Xinming, his happiness immediately came to an abrupt end, Zhou Xinming ignored them at all, and was still carefully observing the surrounding situation, while the other party seemed to be stunned in place.
Of course, it is a truth that Zhou Xinming doesn't care about how his father is messing around, he also doesn't care about the psychological activities of his father and this "stepmother", whether the other party is happy or not, whether there is a contradiction in the family love or not, and whether he loves to die or not has nothing to do with him.
If he could, he would be happy to see this kind of embarrassing expression on the other side, after all, "father and son are filial", and the contradiction between these two people is what Zhou Xinming wants to see.
"Forehead......" The fat woman reluctantly adjusted her expression and said: "Ah, Xinming hasn't seen you for a long time, how is it lately?" β
She knew about the young man in front of her, when the two got married, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man specially promised him that he would not have more contact with this "former son".
I didn't expect to come to the mall for a meal, but I could bump into this burden.
"Xiao Zhou, didn't you go as a soldier before? Is it a holiday now? The man on the other side who looked a little sharp-beaked monkey cheeks spoke for a long time, with an expression on his face that he had been knocked down in the Songhua River in the winter.
"I was discharged from the army two years ago, and now I have changed jobs a long time ago."
"Do you want money?" The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man frowned and said, "Dad is indeed sorry for you, but you are also an adult, and it is time to prepare for self-reliance, is this little thing still coming to the door?" β
"I don't want money, and this place is not owned by your family, can't I come to a public place?" Zhou Xinming seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked at the other party with a smile.
"Okay." The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man took a deep breath and said: "I know what kind of aura revival has come recently, the whole country is in transition, and it is not easy for you to live, just say how much money you want, I will give it to you when the time comes." β
"Poor x thing, can Lao Tzu lack your two cents of money? If it's okay, get out of here, I'm disgusted when I see your mouse-like appearance, and it just so happens that your wife is as long as a pig, and a mouse with a pig is also a perfect match. β
"Xinming, you're joking a little too much." The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks forced a smile and said, and the child behind him lost patience, grabbed the man's hand and said, "Dad, hurry up, I'm going to the playground to play." β
"Who's kidding you? But your children are quite cute, especially my sister, who doesn't look like you're born to an ugly person, and I don't know which man's. β
After Zhou Xinming finished speaking, he squatted down and wanted to hold the little fleshy hand stretched out by the little girl in front of him, but the latter's little hand was pressed down by the fat woman.
"Xinming, what do you mean by that?" The two adults on the opposite side looked bad, and as far as Zhou Xinming's provocation was concerned, people with good tempers couldn't bear it.
"It's not interesting, it's just to tell the truth, after all, when we go to school together, the teacher says it's always not good to lie to people." Zhou Xinming shook his shoulders and said.
"Xinming, this is a public place, no matter how many contradictions there are between us, there is no need to ignite it here, if you really want money, I will give it, can you say a number?" The man sighed.
"Don't you understand? I'm the minister of the Dongling Group, a member of the Ministry of National Defense and a supreme councilor, do you want to give me some money? After Zhou Xinming finished speaking, he directly handed the military ID card in his pocket to the man opposite.
"Keep your dog's eyes open and see what this is? I'm a general of the Eastern Coalition Army! If you don't believe me, just go out and find a public official to check it out. β
However, the man seemed to forcibly not see it, and still said: "Xinming, I know that you have been living a relatively poor life since you were discharged from the army, and I am also responsible for this, but let's not quarrel in a public place......."
"Okay Dad, let's pretend to be blind here, I won't talk nonsense to you, I want to build a commercial street in the Hutoushan Special Economic Zone, and it will probably cost 100 billion Donglian yuan, do you plan to Alipay or WeChat transfer?"
"What? Xinming, don't be kidding, if you want to pay 1,000 yuan, we can get it now. Whether it was the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man or the fat woman, they all said with an embarrassed face.
"I'll you x's stupid x thing, Lao Tzu wants 100 billion, not a thousand, what are you two doing with your ears, you can't understand people's words, right?"
"By the way, just after Children's Day, I will also give my brother and sister a little blessing, I wish your father only one page in the household registration book....... Ah no, I forgot that there is no such thing now, so live in your father's ID card The partner and child columns are empty, so that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person. β
"I'll fuck you!" The man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks was furious after hearing this, and grabbed Zhou Xinming's collar and wanted to make a move, but the latter pushed him lightly and staggered.
The other party quickly realized that when it came to hands-on words, ten of them were not Zhou Xinming's opponents, so after cursing a few swear words like "little bastard", he left in a hurry with his wife and daughter, and ran away as if he was running away.
Looking at the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man who disappeared into the aisle, Zhou Xinming thoughtfully pressed the headset and said, "This is Rabbit No. 1, I just discovered an abnormal situation, all stay vigilant, don't come near me yet." β
"Received Rabbit No. 1, this is Eagle No. 6, I also seem to have encountered an anomaly and am ....... Stabbing......." Before the words in the headset worn by Zhou Xinming were finished, they suddenly broke off with a stabbing sound.
"That's not right!" Zhou Xinming suddenly realized the moment the headset was broken, and he turned his head and walked around several times along the route of the monkey-cheeked man with a sharp mouth just now, but he couldn't find this family alive or dead.
As if they had disappeared out of thin air, or had never been here at all, no matter how Zhou Xinming searched again and again, it was useless to ask the passers-by next to him or even glance at them with divine thoughts.
But this is theoretically impossible, Zhou Xinming is first of all a third-order cultivator, and his five senses ability far exceeds the limit of human beings, and secondly, he has received professional training from the Ministry of Security, and he still has the reincarnation power of the primordial god.
In such a small space, even if a few ordinary people deliberately hid, it was impossible for him to run with his nose down, not to mention that his father was not a person who had been trained in anti-stalking.
Zhou Xinming now finally understands that something is wrong just now, or that there is nothing wrong with this whole incident.
You must know that the chance of the two of them meeting is almost zero, not to mention that Zhou Xinming also dealt with his father a few times later, knowing that he has the habit of watching the news often, it is impossible not to know that he is now the minister of the Dongling Group, and he can talk and laugh with the Supreme Speaker.
So there is no need for Zhou Xinming to take the initiative to remind him, the other party will hurriedly slap him.
And even if he takes 10,000 steps back, he doesn't recognize himself as the Minister Zhou on TV, so after he just "deliberately" reminded him, the other party will definitely flattering and want to pull the relationship.
After all, his father is not a fool, such a big network must be cherished, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhou Xinming can arrange his three children to enter Qingbei or Western famous schools with one sentence.
In fact, last week Xinming said this before announcing the revival of the aura, saying that no one should pay attention to his relatives and not tell him about it, so he didn't know whether his father had ever come to the Dongling Group to look for his son.
But it is certain that Zhou Xinming's father definitely knows what his son is doing, and he definitely wants to have a relationship with him, and he will not dare to do anything with this head of the Dongling Group.
In fact, it's even more abnormal to think about it, no one around can recognize who he is, normally speaking, just the part that just started, it is estimated that it will attract a lot of onlookers.
You must know that with Zhou Xinming's reputation in OUCC now, it is basically well-known, and just the part where he just scolded his father is enough to shoot a video, and then it will be transmitted to major media.
But the biggest puzzle is, why does all this look unreal, but I subconsciously feel that it is normal, but subjectively I feel that something is wrong and I test his father?
"It's obviously like a dream with no logic...... Wait a minute, Dream! Zhou Xinming thought of this and finally knew why the people inside didn't leave, what was going on inside this Tianshun Commercial Center, that was because everyone had fallen into an illusion.
This makes sense, because illusions generally immerse a person in fantasy by evoking a person's memory.
It can be said that those few people just now don't exist at all, it's just an unwilling illusion in his memory, which is also very understandable, although Zhou Xinming gradually got rid of the shadow in adulthood, but he always has a breath in his heart that he can't swallow.
Even part of Zhou Xinming's motivation for joining the army at the beginning was to prove that he was better than his father and could defend his family and the country, rather than living in the painful experience of the past.
And now that Zhou Xinming, as the head of the Dongling Group, has unimaginably huge power, and is one of the most powerful people in the world, he naturally has a feeling of returning home and wanting to show off with his father.
Of course, with Zhou Xinming's pattern, he naturally wouldn't do such a boring and naΓ―ve thing, but this kind of YY must have subconsciously happened, so the illusion caught a little bit and got his father in front of him.
But this is very strange, because in his previous life, or Yunxiao Tianjun himself must not care about Zhou Xinming's father at all, if the illusion is aimed at him, it should be the unwilling memories of Yunxiao Tianjun!
For example, a certain loose cultivator or a certain big demon came out, took the treasure of the Heavenly Monarch of the Clouds, and killed the friends of the Heavenly Monarch, instead of the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks showing off in front of him with a happy family.
"So who the hell am I now?" Zhou Xinming muttered to himself, "Is it the Heavenly Monarch of the Clouds, the power from the alien world? Or Zhou Xinming, a veteran on Earth? Or is it a third party? β
At the very beginning, Zhou Xinming was actually puzzled, because many of his actions were not quite in line with the character of Yunxiao Tianjun, but more like the veteran Zhou Xinming.
For example, when he first called to report, it was simply because the spiritual power of the earth was scarce, so he wanted to use the Eastern Union Union to collect cultivation resources.
After all, Yunxiao Tianjun is a tyrant who grew up in the brutal struggle of the sect, and his hands are stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of people and demon beasts, and it is impossible for such a person who grew up in a jungle society to have the slightest affection for Donglian.
But not long after joining the 125 department, he actually regarded Donglian as the inheritor of the earth wholeheartedly, and gave countless heavenly and earthly treasures to other juniors, and bothered to cultivate them as personal disciples, rather than being alone.
Even the astronomical amount of money in his hand was donated by him to build countless schools, and when he heard about the "Centennial Key Repair" a few months ago, he subconsciously sympathized with the other party.
This is obviously not like Yunxiao Tianjun's style of life, but it seems like something that veteran Zhou Xinming would do.
In other words, it seems that as he lives in the modern world for more and more time, the characteristics of the Cloud Sky Monarch on his body are becoming more and more turbulent, as if he is gradually changing back from the Cloud Sky Monarch to his predecessor Zhou Xinming.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the most terrifying possibility, that is, the Heavenly Monarch had actually died in the Ancient Teleportation, and he was just a tool that carried the other party's memories.
This speculation is not impossible, although even the hydrogen bomb with the largest tonnage of human civilization is difficult to directly kill the existence of the level of the Heavenly Monarch of the clouds, but in the face of countless light years away, he is still as fragile as a mortal.
The principle of the Ancient Teleportation Array may be to change the curvature coefficient of the universe and directly drag the earth to the Heavenly Monarch of the Clouds, or it may be the quantum teleportation in the existing physical system, or it may be some technology that humans cannot understand now.
But whether it is changing the curvature of the universe, or turning people into the form of quantum states, sending them directly to the earth and putting them together like building blocks, it can be compared to the power of the gods.
Such a force is enough to easily tear the planet apart and extinguish the stars, and the Heavenly Monarch is not even an ant in front of them, at best they are microorganisms, and it is normal for them to be crushed to death.
