Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2758
1271: Showdown
At his words, the surrounding voices suddenly froze, and the entire space fell into an eerie silence.
A moment later, Fireworks’ voice echoed again: “Brother Zu, what are you talking about? How could I be that vixen?”
Zuan sighed: “Now that things have come to this, why should you continue to hide it? It’s a pity I didn’t see through your identity sooner.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the light nearby distorted, and Fireworks stepped out of the void. It was still her sweet and lovely face, but now it was completely devoid of its previous sweetness. The indifference and arrogance between her brows seemed to transform her into a stranger.
“When did you see that?” Fireworks glared at him coldly.
He felt as if the air around him had frozen, and the familiar pressure extinguished Zuan’s last shred of hope. “I never thought someone as powerful as you could have remained so humble for so long. Your acting is truly excellent.”
Thinking of such a big-boss figure, playing the sweet role for so many years, constantly addressing him as “Brother Zu,” Zuan felt a sense of admiration for her.
He already considered himself a skilled actor, but compared to the other person, it paled in comparison.
“Could it be your Eye of Delusion? Impossible! I possess a true god-level magical artifact. The Eye of Delusion shouldn’t be able to see me.” ‘Fireworks’ frowned, clearly wondering how the whole thing had been exposed.
When he first met Zuan, he hadn’t yet crossed paths with the God of Memory, and hadn’t yet obtained the Eye of Delusion, so his identity couldn’t have been exposed.
Later, when they met on the ship, they met Alati. The God of Memory had suddenly descended upon them. While others might not have understood what was happening, with her strength, she certainly sensed something different.
Especially when Zuan returned, he glanced at Yani.
She knew Yani’s identity had been exposed, but she didn’t panic. Instead, she played along, letting him believe he had seen everything.
When she reappeared as Fireworks to reunite with him, she had deliberately worn the artifact.
Only the artifacts of a true god could counter the power of a true god.
Sure enough, upon their reunion, Zuan noticed nothing unusual.
But everything was going according to plan, so why did something unexpected happen?
“Actually, I’ve been suspicious since you approached me on the spaceship,” Zuan said in a low voice, but his face didn’t show any joy at having seen through the other person.
“Oh, so you suspect me just because of this? Isn’t it normal for a girl to like a handsome guy, not to mention you are so capable.” ‘Fireworks’ had a strange expression, “I don’t care if you are surrounded by peach blossoms. You must have encountered such things in your life. Why do you only suspect me?”
“Because you are too mysterious,” Zuan sighed, “You are beautiful and powerful, and your suitors should be like crucian carp crossing the river. Why do you favor me so much? At first I thought you were coveting my singularity world, but later I found out that it was not the case.”
“The singularity world may be precious to others, but I don’t take it seriously,” ‘Fireworks’ said proudly, “But didn’t I give a sufficient reason later? I wanted to save my father. Is that why you suspect me?”
“Yes, this matter is indeed weird. Others who have just arrived in the Dreamland will definitely be curious about everything in the Dreamland and the upcoming Dream Conference, but you are not interested in all of this. Instead, you are eager to take me to the beach. Then you made an excuse to be angry and went into the sea alone and were captured by a sea monster.”
“Is that why? Doesn’t that perfectly fit Fireworks’ girlish thoughts? I can’t see anything wrong.” ‘Fireworks’ was very puzzled.
Zuan looked at the other party: “You seem to like role-playing very much?”
“Of course,” upon hearing this, ‘Fireworks’ face suddenly showed a strange look, “Although I can impersonate many people with my clones, even if the appearance is exactly the same, if the personality, words and deeds are not exactly the same, it is impossible to hide it from the people close to them.”
“If that’s the case, it’s simply my biggest failure!”
“It’s a pity that you revealed a flaw at this point. Do you remember that you told me how much you knew about Fireworks under the identity of Yani, and how suspicious it was that she was kidnapped by a sea monster near the hotel beach…” Zuan smiled, “Yes, you play many roles, and you are worried about being exposed. So each character performs according to his own personality and logic, but I didn’t expect that what Yani said was so convincing. For the first time, I began to examine my relationship with Fireworks.”
‘Fireworks’ couldn’t help feeling a little depressed: “I didn’t expect that I would actually shoot myself in the foot. But just because of a few words from outsiders, you doubted me?”
“Of course, it wasn’t just that. Later, after we reunited in this mysterious forbidden land, you revealed that your true self could create numerous clones. You even replaced everyone in the entire Dreamland with your own.” Zuan paused, his expression growing serious. “That’s when I started thinking, since everyone in the Dreamland had been replaced, could Fireworks be fake too?”
“It’s just that it made sense that you escaped disaster by studying away from home. Plus, it makes sense that you were doing all this to save your father. And since I used my Eye of Delusion and didn’t see anything unusual, I didn’t think much of it.” Zuan’s tone was a little annoyed, as if he was regretting his carelessness.
“If that’s the case, then why did you suspect me?” Fireworks looked puzzled.
“Because I don’t understand why the demon spider didn’t kill your father, but instead imprisoned him here,” Zuan said in a deep voice, “With the ability displayed by the demon spider, since it has replaced the entire Dreamland and made it impossible for people in all the heavens and worlds to detect any abnormality, she should have known the secrets of the Dreamland long ago. How can the Lord of Dreams be able to defeat her ability?”
“Maybe there are some restrictions in his memory, and he can’t force it.” ‘Fireworks’ was not satisfied with this explanation. She believed that she was not wrong in this regard.
“That’s indeed possible, but that demon spider can transform into an ordinary person. It shouldn’t be too difficult for it to disguise itself as the real ‘Fireworks’ or someone close to it and obtain the secrets of the Lord of Dreams. At least we don’t have to imprison him here and wait for rescue.”
At this point, Zuan snorted coldly: “If my guess is correct, the Lord of Dreams is also your incarnation in disguise, right?”
“You are really smart, but it’s a pity that you didn’t mention the real reason for suspecting me,” ‘Fireworks’ sneered, and his whole appearance began to change rapidly. Sometimes he was the weak and decadent Lord of Dreams, sometimes he was the tall and heroic Yani, and sometimes he was the charming and seductive Theodora. “You just rambled on and on, avoiding mentioning what happened in the Rift Valley. Are you planning to use the Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Array to deal with me?”
