Chapter 36: The Ploy of Pretending to Be Someone Else (Ch 36)

At this moment, the three people’s eyes fell on the bloody sanitary napkin on the ground.

“Well, do you believe me if I say I’m a woman…” Zhou Ke said embarrassedly.

Zhang Liang and Wang Li opened their eyes wide and looked at him as if he were a mental patient.

“You are… a woman?”

Zhou Ke took another step forward.

The two of them retreated in horror.

“Don’t come any closer!”

Zhang Liang and Wang Li were completely confused.

At this moment, their psychological activities are…

Why?

He’s not afraid of us at all?

Why doesn’t he recognize us?

Why did he have a bloody sanitary napkin in his pocket?

“Hey, Zhang Liang, do you remember how we died last time?” Wang Li asked his accomplice in a low voice.

“Of course… the original Princess Su suddenly changed her face like a Sichuan opera… and became another person.” Zhang Liang also answered in a low voice.

!

“You mean… the person in front of me is also fake!” Zhang Liang responded quietly.

“It must be like this. The person on the opposite side used the ability to disguise himself!” Wang Li said solemnly.

That’s right! It all makes sense!

Why isn’t Zhou Ke afraid of them!

Why doesn’t Zhou Ke recognize them!

Why did Zhou Ke have her period?

because–

This is another girl with the 8 of Diamonds card, pretending to be Zhou Ke!

The special power of the Diamond 8 card is disguise!

It must be like this!

The Zhou Ke in front of me is not Zhou Ke, but a girl!

She has the 8 of Diamonds!

She used her special powers to transform herself into Zhou Ke’s appearance!

“Ha, I don’t care who you are, don’t come any closer!” The two men shouted at Zhou Ke with slightly trembling voices.

Zhou Ke was slightly stunned: “What’s wrong? What do you mean by ‘no matter who I am’? I am Zhou Ke?”

Zhang Liang yelled:

“Don’t pretend! I understand! You are from the Spade Kingdom! I heard that the Spade Kingdom and the Heart Kingdom have formed an alliance!”

Wang Li also screamed:

“This must be Zhou Ke’s plan. He asked those of you who have the ability to disguise to pretend to be Zhou Ke so as to trick us into launching an attack!”

“Oh, what a pity, this trick doesn’t work on the two of us! Because we’ve already suffered a loss once, and we won’t be fooled a second time!”

Humph.

Zhou Ke showed a surprised expression on the surface, but he was actually smiling from ear to ear on the inside.

Zhou Ke is a magician.

Magicians have three main rules.

1. Never reveal the content of the magic in advance.

2. Never perform the same magic trick for the same audience.

3. Never tell the secret of magic.

Zhou Ke has always followed these three rules, the second of which is:

Never perform the same magic trick for the same audience.

He had used the art of disguise in front of these two people.

This trick is not about disguise, but about changing your mentality.

“Ah, you are civilians, right?” Zhou Ke held the iron box in his hand and slowly approached: “Maybe you are right.”

“I am indeed not a Zhou guest, but an ordinary girl. I used the magic card 8 of diamonds to change my appearance for self-protection.”

“But… I’m not necessarily a noble, am I?”

“If you are not a noble, you are not dangerous.”

They are people from the Cube Country.

The message on the King Card of the Block Kingdom is [Class oppression still exists].

Ye Lingtian is the king of the Cube Kingdom, and this information is the only rule he knows.

And right now, this rule must have been sent to everyone in the Cube Country through watches.

And these two people naturally know that the restraint chain still exists.

Zhou Ke approached slowly and continued, “Since I am pretending to be Zhou Ke, it means that I want to pretend to be the King.”

“And the king can restrain the nobles. This means that I am afraid of the nobles.”

“So, I am a civilian. Just like you.”

“So, there’s no need for you to run away.”

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment: “It seems to make sense.”

“That makes sense!” Wang Li punched him and said, “Are you out of your mind?”

He pointed at the iron box in Zhou Ke’s hand and asked, “Look what’s in her hand?”

Zhang Liang looked in the direction Wang Li pointed and said, “That box is made of iron… Why? Aren’t all treasure chests made of wood?”

Wang Li shouted loudly:

“Only civilian treasure chests are made of wood!”

“That thing is a noble treasure chest! Only those with higher status than nobility can open it!”

“As long as she can open that treasure chest, it means she is a noble!”

“You said that the identity of ‘above nobility’ can be revealed, so is it possible that she is the king…” Zhang Liang asked weakly.

“You are so stupid! There is only one girl who is a king, and that is Princess Su Chenxi!” Wang Li looked furious and was very worried about his accomplice’s IQ.

“And Princess, we all know that the God card is the Queen of Spades!”

“This girl’s magic card is an 8 of diamonds, it’s definitely not Su Chenxi!”

“So, she must be another girl! And she can open the Noble Chest again!”

“So, she must be a noble!”

“And the nobles are the ones who specialize in killing us commoners!”

Click.

Zhou Ke smiled and opened the treasure chest.

“That’s all correct!”

The next second, Zhou Ke took out something from inside and suddenly attacked the two men!

To be honest, if those two people were scared silly, or if they were not intimidated by Zhou Ke, Zhou Ke’s performance would have been a complete failure.

But Zhou Ke knew very well that the most important thing in a magic show is belief!

If you don’t believe that your magic is real, how can the audience believe it!

Zhou Ke’s idea to break the impasse was very simple.

Pretending not to know them, deliberately dropping sanitary napkins that only girls use, the purpose is to shape myself into another girl!

As for why he looked like Zhou Ke…it was because he used the Eight of Diamonds to disguise himself!

The two reacted very quickly, screaming and running away quickly.

In order to make the trick more interesting, Zhou Ke even followed them for a long distance.

Until they no longer dared to look back.

After they ran away, they said in fear: “Oh my god, I almost got cheated to death.”

“Whoever that person was, luckily she made a mistake! She dropped her sanitary napkin on the ground!”

Zhou Ke slowly stopped.

In a magic show, faking mistakes is commonplace.

The purpose is to lead to a bigger climax.

He looked at the two people who were fleeing in panic and said softly:

“Two idiots.”

“Magic doesn’t make mistakes…”

“It’s just that you fell into an elaborate ruse.”

After driving away the two men with his superb performance, Zhou Ke finally sat down and began to carefully study the treasure chest he had just opened.

In order to make the performance more realistic, he grabbed it without even looking at what was inside.

Now, he could take a closer look.

The item in the noble treasure chest is a bottle of strange potion.

Zhou Ke gently grasped the mouth of the medicine bottle.

At the same time, the introduction text pops up immediately.

【Noble Treasure Box (Item Type).】

[Flame Immunity Potion: After drinking this potion, you will be immune to all scalds, burns, and other flame damage within 1 hour.]

Immune to fire damage?

This potion is somewhat useful.

Zhou Ke remembered his current magic card, the King of Spades.

Since my current ability is to control lightning, maybe someone else’s ability is to “control fire” or something like that.

After all, even a sanitary napkin can be used by Zhou Ke, and this bottle of medicine may save his life in the future.

Zhou Ke carefully put away the props.
