"What wish? If it's not too difficult, I can give it a try, "Zhou Wen said.
"It's not a difficult problem. I just want you to help me guess a riddle. Come on." Wei Ge turned around and led the way.
"Do we need to go to a special place to guess riddles?" Zhou Wen asked as he followed behind.
"I've lived for so long, but I've only come up with such a riddle. I still have to show some respect. Let's find a place with a more atmosphere and have a sense of ceremony," Wei Ge said with a smile.
The two of them arrived at the school's old campus one after another. As today was the farewell day, although Sunset College didn't have a welcoming party, there was a farewell ceremony. The students were basically participating in the farewell party, so the old campus was empty.
When they arrived at an empty space, Wei Ge stopped and turned to look at Zhou Wen. "Alright, let's do it here."
"What's your riddle?" Zhou Wen stared at Wei Ge and asked. He naturally knew that Wei Ge's so-called riddle was definitely not a brain teaser.
"My riddle is actually very simple. Take a guess, which one is real? Which one is fake? " As Wei Ge spoke, he raised his right hand and held a coin between his middle and index fingers. With a sudden flick, the coin flew at Zhou Wen.
The coin was as fast as a meteor, but this wasn't surprising. Such a speed was still too slow to Zhou Wen.
However, when the coin flew halfway, it split into two and turned into two coins that flew to Zhou Wen's left and right.
The two coins looked identical. It was impossible to tell which one was real and which one was fake. Even the ripples of the air being torn apart were identical.
Zhou Wen stood motionless and allowed the two coins to fly past him. This was because he couldn't tell which coin was real, so it was meaningless to attack.
After the two coins flew over, they landed on the ground not far away. The coin on the left vanished, leaving only the coin on the right.
"Senior, you condensed a Life Soul and advanced to the Epic stage?" Zhou Wen looked at Wei Ge in surprise.
Wei Ge nodded and said, "My Life Soul is called Hypocrisy Mask. You've already seen its ability, so please help me distinguish which one is the real me. Can you help me tear off that mask?"
With that said, Wei Ge's figure suddenly moved. He was clearly alone, but the moment he moved, he split into two, attacking Zhou Wen from both sides.
The speed and strength of the two figures, and even the sound of the wind, felt very real. It was impossible to tell which was Wei Ge's main body and which was an illusion.
Zhou Wen moved his feet and dodged Wei Ge's attack like a ghost. This was because he couldn't tell which was the real Wei Ge.
However, this time, the two Wei Gos didn't vanish. Instead, they split into four. The two Wei Gos became four Wei Gos as they attacked Zhou Wen from different directions.
Zhou Wen dodged again. In the next strike, Wei Ge's figure had already split into eight. He attacked Zhou Wen from all directions, sealing off all his escape routes.
If it were anyone else, they would have no choice but to make a choice. However, Zhou Wen's movement technique was just too powerful. He actually passed through the eight Wei Gos.
"Zhou Wen is indeed Zhou Wen. Take my final strike." Wei Ge's eyes burned as the eight figures spoke at the same time. Sound waves spread out, making it impossible for anyone to tell where the real Wei Ge was.
In the next instant, the eight figures split again, turning into sixteen figures that attacked Zhou Wen again. They sealed off all the space and rifts in the sky and ground, preventing Zhou Wen from dodging.
This time, Zhou Wen stood rooted to the ground because he had nowhere to go. Even with his movement technique, it was impossible for him to rush out of the seal. It was time to make a decision.
Without looking at the sixteen Wei Gos, Zhou Wen closed his eyes and stood there.
The first figure's fist struck Zhou Wen, but he didn't move. The figure dissipated, leaving behind only an illusion. The second, third, and fourth figures slammed into Zhou Wen in different postures before vanishing one by one.
The fifteen figures vanished. When the last figure charged at Zhou Wen, he finally opened his eyes and moved. However, he didn't look at the figure charging at him. Instead, he turned around.
The last figure slammed into Zhou Wen's back before vanishing.
However, opposite Zhou Wen, another Wei Ge appeared.
"How did you discover me?" Wei Ge asked Zhou Wen.
"I didn't discover you. Your illusions are too real, so I can't tell the real from the fake," Zhou Wen said.
"Then how do you know that the sixteen illusions aren't me?" Wei Ge frowned slightly. If Zhou Wen couldn't tell the real from the fake, how could he know that the sixteen illusions weren't his real body?
Zhou Wen smiled and said, "Because I trust you, Senior."
"What do you mean?" Wei Ge was slightly taken aback as he asked Zhou Wen.
"Because you are a person who likes to play chess. How can a person who likes to play chess treat himself as a chess piece?" Zhou Wen said seriously.
Wei Ge looked at Zhou Wen in a daze before laughing. He laughed so hard that he rocked back and forth, tears almost coming out of his eyes.
"I see. Life is like a game of chess. How can I, Wei Ge, transcend the game of chess? I've forgotten that if I can't enter the game, how can I affect the game of chess?" Wei Ge retracted his smile and said solemnly to Zhou Wen, "I'm leaving. I'm going to the capital and starting from the smallest chess piece. If there's a day when I can stir up the game of chess, I hope I'll have the chance to ask you to guess my riddle again."
"Are you really not staying?" Zhou Wen asked.
Wei Ge didn't answer. He turned around and left. As he walked, he said, "Playing with others is endless joy. Playing with the heavens is an endless struggle. If I can beat the heavens by a stroke of luck, this life will be worth it."
Zhou Wen stood there motionless for a long time as he watched Wei Ge leave.
As a chess piece in the game, I can't even control my own fate. Can I really break out of the game? Zhou Wen didn't know the answer, so he couldn't help but feel abnormally vexed.
Jiang Yan, Zhong Ziya, Hui Haifeng, Wang Lu, Zhang Yuzhi, and Wei Ge were all astounding talents of their generation, but they still had no choice but to head for a future they didn't know about under the influence of fate.
Sunset College's farewell party wasn't so much a party as it was a send-off for warriors before they went to the battlefield. After leaving the school gates, the students would face a battlefield where life and death were unpredictable. No one could protect them, and their lives were in the hands of a whim.
