Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Dorian held the neatly carved wooden sticks and began chanting.

~Pap. Pap. Pap. Pap~

The sticks tapped each other, producing loud sounds that echoed out across the entire Park.

But this wasn't what shocked the audience the most.

Right before their very naked eyeballs, they watched as several giant imprinted symbols zoomed out from the sticks as if they were projections.

The strange yellow-glowing symbols zoomed outwards across the water like magic.

And at the same time, the wind seemed to rustle the trees and foliage all around, giving everyone a subtle heart attack.

I'll go! The scene was so magical that words alone couldn't describe all that they saw.

Gulp.

Everyone, especially the security guards, swallowed hard when seeing the scene before them

What the hell was this sorcery?

Fatty Ping's chubby rolls of fat jiggled in fear when standing behind superior Nemo.

"Superior... What... How can this be possible? Do... Do you think that there are mini projectors implanted into those sticks?"

"I... I don't know..." Nemo replied in a daze.

He was also more inclined to believe that these images were projected ones.

It was just that even if something was projected, there was a certain look to it that made one feel like it was digitized.

Take for example, if one projected something on a wall. One could tell that it's a projection.

However, the images they saw now were so real-like, making him feel as though if he were to grab them, he would be able to touch them physically.

And more still, what was up with the strange wind that engulfed them whenever the weird symbols were sent out towards the waters?

Or could it be that there was something else happening here that he wasn't aware of?

Immediately, Nemo caught himself thinking crazy and quickly reeled his leg back to the light.

Yes... The scientific way was the true light of the world.

Like so, Nemo adjusted his mentality and resumed his calm exterior, as though science could explain everything.

Also, seeing how calm the Gia men were, Nemo couldn't help being curious about their thoughts on this matter.

And more importantly, who exactly was this boy?

Was he some Grandmaster of some Assassin-Research department?

Are the symbols projected out a type of scanning mechanism that the government had just invented of late?

Were they trying to find clues? Or the bones of the Gia girl instead?

Nemo and the other guards were struggling to accept reality and still bent on science justifying everything.

But before they could finally cent their arguments for science, something even more jaw-dropping occurred that sent their brains crashing into oblivion.

.

~Brmmmm!!!

Suddenly, one of the giant symbols hovering over the massive lake changed from bright yellow to dark purple.

And almost immediately, all the other symbols rushed towards the scene time crazy, heading to that exact location and turning purple as well.

Dorian held the same pose for a bit, with both sticks touching one another... before slowly lowering the wooden bars again.

"She's in there."

Boom!

Everyone almost fainted from shock.

She... She... She's in the water?

Then didn't this mean that she was dead?

After all, how could a human breathe underwater for so many days?

The security guards all had pitiful expressions on their faces when looking at the Gia family.

And at the same time, the Gia people, who everyone was pitying, only felt their hearts tighten against their chest in pain.

The Grandmaster said that he would get their Gia girl back alive.

So they had a certain amount of trust in him.

But it was just that now, they began doubting a bit...Their Gia girl wants a fish! So could she truly stay alive all this time?

.

~Whoo-Whoo-Whoo-Whoo~

Their breathing became heavy the more distorted their faces grew.

And Pia was the first to break down silently, without making a sound. She dared not disturb the grandmaster. But the thought of her daughter staying here while that fraud went back and enjoyed her daughter's privileges, only made her feel sympathy for her poor baby.

Old Gia and Wei Gia felt their lips vigorously when looking at the giant purple symbols spin haphazardly around that spot.

Bubuum. Bubuum.

They clutched their hearts and tried their best to control their breathing because they knew that the worst was yet to come.

That's right.

They hadn't gotten their Gia daughter back!

"Grandmaster!... You said she's alive right?" Old Gia asked anxiously.

And Dorian simply threw his head behind his shoulders with a lazy smile on his face: "Hmhm... She's still alive."

"Good. Good. Good. Good!"

[Security Guards]: "_"

Eh?... Was there something they were missing here?

The park guards almost fell in disbelief when listening to Dorian.

Hello? How can this guy give the Gia family hope after saying that the girl had been immersed in water all this time?

She was definitely dead, okay?

Gone! Finito! Fish food! Finished! Dead!

What other ways could one say it?

.

Nemo thinned his lips in pity, feeling that the Gia family didn't seem to be able to handle the death of their deceased one.

Sigh... Could this be the start of the fall of great legends?

Grief and denial typically went hand in hand. And for most strong men, they could bypass denial and accept facts.

And Nemo honestly thought that the Gia men would be able to accept the truth.

But it looks like even if the girl's body got fetched, they might refuse to bury her, being obsessed and thinking that she was still alive instead.

This alone was enough to show how loved the girl was.

But then again, something else had been bothering him.

Given that the dead body has been submerged for so long, shouldn't it float to the surface by now?

That's how a typical dead body worked.

So why hadn't it risen all this time? Or could it be that some massive boulder underneath the water made it stay in place instead?

There were so many loopholes in the matter that made Nemo's head begin to hurt.

Forget it. He gave up. Let the body get retrieved first.

With that, he sighed in pity with his hands in his pocket, looking like a cop who was about to lean to the side and light a cigarette in sympathy.

Now, they just had to wait for the police to get here and dig the body out of the waters.

At least that's what he thought.

~Boom!
