He exhaled sharply.
"Alright, fine. System, you heard these geniuses.
Try to replicate it:
'Feel the thinness,' 'step sideways,' 'become a whisper.'
Use the Shinigami Eyes, focus intent, whatever sounds logical.
Let's see if you can figure out what they can't explain."
[Acknowledged. Attempting…]
Lu Sheng closed his Shinigami eyes, letting the System take over.
A strange sensation washed over him.
The world blurred at the edges.
A distinct coldness seeped into his senses—not physical cold, but a hollow chill.
He felt a pull, a subtle current flowing just beneath reality's surface.
It felt… accessible. Almost.
[It seems it is working.]
The feeling intensified.
Lightness—detachment—then a sudden slam.
Like slamming into an invisible wall.
[Transition failed.]
Lu Sheng's eyes snapped open.
"It didn't work."
Bull Head and Horse Head looked genuinely surprised.
"It… didn't?" Bull Head asked, bewildered.
"But… it always works. We just… step."
