This indeed served as a wake-up call for Wen Xishu.
"The Whisper girl can be foolish because she has the luxury to be so, but I don’t have that privilege..."
Even though I hang above you, I still need to use my wits more.
Wen Xishu wasn’t completely desperate; after all, the situation had merely reverted to its previous state.
Just as Wen Xishu pondered how to handle the ear...
Wen Xishu suddenly realized something—
The ear was gone.
"Mr. Flamenco, when you opened the jar just now, where did the ear inside go?"
"Did anyone notice?"
Wen Xishu had been staring at the ear, lost in thought.
But with just a slight blink... the ear had disappeared.
After asking this, he immediately ran towards the prayer room.
Flamenco, who got asked by Wen Xishu, looked at him with a somewhat surprised expression:
"Master Wen... Wen Xishu, what are you doing? I just opened an empty jar!"
"Where is this ear you speak of?"
Ling Fu was also very astonished.
Everyone had clearly seen an empty jar; how could Wen Xishu say there was an ear?
Where was the ear? An ear was found?
Others soon started thinking, could it be that Master Wen Xishu’s condition was not right? Too tired, to the point of seeing hallucinations?
But Ling Fu knew Wen Xishu’s capabilities too well. Could it be that an ear really appeared just now?
But only Wen Xishu saw it?
Ling Fu immediately headed towards the prayer room.
In the prayer room, Wen Xishu looked at the mural, the "goddess" whose eyes had already been dotted, with no change where the ear was supposed to be.
The eyes hidden in the mural, the eyeballs turned, looking at Wen Xishu.
The gaze seemed very smug, as if conveying some kind of disdain.
Wen Xishu suddenly understood.
"It seems... the ear can be retrieved again."
"The ear is one of your last trump cards. Once the ear is retrieved, it doesn’t return to the mural like other parts, but goes back into the jar."
"As long as any fact you want to deny appears in the future, others may be denied the fact because the ear is retrieved again."
"Furthermore, the ear can deny a fact that has already happened, but it only does the denial. There’s also the effect of the ear denying the ear being retrieved."
"So when the ear is retrieved, others cannot detect it."
Wen Xishu wasn’t exactly talking to himself but trying to engage with the Whisper girl.
The waves in the eyeball within the mural clearly indicated that the Whisper girl had heard Wen Xishu’s dialogue.
The eyeball was very surprised; the Whisper girl couldn’t understand how Wen Xishu could know all this?
How could Wen Xishu resist the fact being denied by the retrieval of the ear?
After the fact is denied, it’s almost like the fact in everyone’s eyes is— the ear wasn’t retrieved.
Just like Yue Yun and Ling Fu standing in front of Wen Xishu at this moment, one on the left and one on the right.
Ling Fu said:
"Did we really retrieve the ear just now?"
"But the mural doesn’t have an ear. Could it be that the ear is special and can return to the jar?"
Though Ling Fu analyzed it this way, he wasn’t sure of the actual situation, and couldn’t help wondering inwardly, could Wen Xishu really be mistaken?
Wen Xishu turned around and explained what had happened to Ling Fu.
Ling Fu, listening, felt it was absurd; this Whisper girl could actually deny an already happened fact?
This ability is too ridiculous, right?
Though it’s certain that this ability must have some limitations, it’s impossible to deny every fact, but denying adversity once when opening a jar was indeed too unfair.
However, linking it with Wen Xishu’s own abilities, Ling Fu still accepted this absurd fact.
"So what do we do now?" Ling Fu asked.
Wen Xishu said:
"No matter what, continue opening the jars. Up until now, we still can’t escape one thing, that is relying on luck, but at least I know some hidden secrets now, let’s keep opening jars."
Wen Xishu walked towards the hall.
Yue Yun, Nissen, and Xiaojin were still watching the jars.
This made Wen Xishu think, the ear only denied one result... in other words, people still thought the twenty jars containing Whisper girl’s filth were piled together by Oceania.
This matter hadn’t been denied.
People just didn’t know... those twenty jars found by Oceania had already turned into regular jars.
Most likely empty jars, not ones hiding good things.
Wen Xishu thought about it and told Ling Fu to keep it a secret, to do nothing for now, to avoid causing people panic and resisting opening jars.
The current situation was like playing cards, Wen Xishu played a card to suppress Whisper girl, then Whisper girl played a card to break the suppression.
It was like a turn-based game.
Humans should have been wiped out long ago.
But Wen Xishu, relying on sheer strength, managed to turn the tide several times. This time was no different. If Wen Xishu hadn’t sensed the ear being retrieved and seen the whole process of its effect...
It’s likely that Wen Xishu himself wouldn’t have realized the game had completely changed.
Clearly, in this outrageous cheating, some of Wen Xishu’s items countered part of the Whisper girl’s tools’ effects.
Denial of fact, accompanied by partial spiritual invasion and memory modification.
Yet the latter had no effect on Wen Xishu. This was why Wen Xishu could see through the Whisper girl’s ear.
Wen Xishu had a premonition... the Whisper girl’s assault wouldn’t end, and there would be fiercer attacks coming.
But he wasn’t afraid either.
"Ah Miao cannot replicate things she hasn’t seen; in other words, the tool of ’hearing as falsehood,’ Ah Miao cannot replicate..."
"Because the fact of the ear being retrieved was denied, it’s a pity I can’t use fact denial to negate fact denial."
