At that moment, everyone finally understood. The supposed shipwreck they had experienced after setting sail on the private yacht was a complete fabrication, an illusion created by this disaster machine.

After grasping the situation, the assistant looked at Zhao Rong with admiration. "Brother Zhao Rong, you're the only one who kept a clear head while we were all fooled. Why were we all deceived by the illusion of a shipwreck created by this machine, but you weren't?"

Miss Lili also asked curiously, "Yeah, Brother Zhao Rong, how did you discover this disaster machine?"

Zhao Rong chuckled and explained, "That's because before we set sail, I bought something from the Paradise Shopping Cart—a pair of glasses that can see through illusions, the 'Illusion-Restoring Reality Glasses'…" As he spoke, he took the glasses out of his Magic Ring.

When the assistant saw the very ordinary-looking gold-rimmed glasses, he curiously took them from Zhao Rong, put them on, and stared at him. "Brother Zhao Rong, is this it? You put on these glasses, and that's how you saw that everything around us wasn't real, but just an illusion?"

Zhao Rong nodded. "When we encountered the shipwreck, I immediately put these glasses on…"

Having said this, Zhao Rong recalled the moment the disaster struck. The situation had been extremely critical. Even he had thought they were in real trouble. However, once he put on the glasses, he saw that they were all still sitting safely inside the private yacht. Beside the yacht, two people in diving suits were starting up a device that resembled a generator. As soon as they activated it, the illusion of the shipwreck appeared around them. To verify what was happening, Zhao Rong took the glasses off again. The scene before his eyes instantly changed back to the yacht sinking as they all plunged into the deep sea. So, he put the gold-rimmed glasses back on.

This time, he made another astonishing discovery. The reality was that their private yacht had already arrived at the film studio. He watched as their group disembarked and walked onto the shore. But to play along and lure their enemy into a trap, he had immediately opened the Paradise Shopping Cart on his phone, bought an escape sphere, and led everyone through the fake disaster created by the illusion machine.

When Miss Lili saw how beautiful the gold-rimmed glasses looked on the assistant, she immediately went over, took them, and put them on herself. "Brother Zhao Rong, the glasses you bought from the Paradise Shopping Cart not only see through illusions but also look really beautiful!"

But before she could finish, her eyes widened. Staring in Zhao Rong's direction, she suddenly screamed, "There's a monster! Brother Zhao Rong, there's a monster!"

Hearing Miss Lili scream, Yu Lan, who was standing beside her, immediately questioned her. "Miss Lili, this Murder Island we're on is a film studio, not a deserted island. How could there be monsters here?"

Xuelian, however, simply pulled two cans of pepper spray from her pocket and began spraying wildly into the air, shouting, "Where is the monster? Come out! I'll spray you to death!"

Just as everyone was looking around in confusion, Zhao Rong suddenly grabbed the collar of the skinny guy next to him, slammed him to the ground, and said, "Skinny, drop the act! Show your true form!"

At this, Miss Lili took off the gold-rimmed glasses and handed them to Yu Lan. "That skinny guy is a monster. If you wear these, you'll see him for who he really is."

Curious, Yu Lan took the glasses, put them on, and looked at the skinny guy. One look was all it took to make her recoil in shock. She scrambled behind the assistant in terror and shrieked, "Damn it! He's like a Painted Skin demon straight out of *Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio*!"

Hearing the term "Painted Skin," a puzzled Xuelian took the glasses from Yu Lan and put them on. Looking at the skinny guy pinned down by Zhao Rong, she muttered, "Can a man be a Painted Skin demon, too?"

But before Xuelian could finish her sentence, she saw the skinny guy's true face. She jumped back in fright and screamed, "Damn it! This guy isn't just a Painted Skin demon—he's a Bull Demon King!"

While everyone was still terrified, Zhao Rong quickly and efficiently tore off the layer of human skin the skinny guy was wearing. Once the skin was removed, his true form was revealed. It turned out the skinny guy wasn't human at all, but a monster—an alpaca that had cultivated itself into a spirit.

Zhao Rong took a rope from his Magic Ring, tightly tied up the alpaca spirit, and interrogated him. "Kid, I knew you were an alpaca spirit the moment I first saw you. And you still had the nerve to keep up the act this whole time?"

When the skinny guy realized Zhao Rong had seen right through him, he asked in terror, "Brother, your eyes are as sharp as the Eyes of Golden Flame! How did you figure out I was an alpaca spirit?"

Zhao Rong sneered. "Did I even need to figure it out? The reek of alpaca you carry around is a dead giveaway that you're an alpaca in human form."

Hearing this, the three women and the assistant had a sudden moment of realization.

"So that's what it was!" the assistant exclaimed, pinching his nose. "I was wondering about that weird smell when this skinny guy first showed up. I thought someone had terrible body odor, but it was just his alpaca stench!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Miss Lili went a step further, taking out a bottle of perfume and spraying it into the air. "Brother Zhao Rong is right, that smell is definitely alpaca… I remember seeing them at the zoo once, and the stench was enough to make me sick. This guy's smell is exactly the same. It's unbearable!"

Although Yu Lan had never been to a zoo to smell an alpaca, she immediately took out her phone and searched Baidu for "smell of an alpaca." She commented, "So this is what alpacas smell like. You guys aren't kidding, it's really pungent…"

Meanwhile, Xuelian aimed her pepper spray at the alpaca spirit. "Don't worry! My pepper spray will definitely neutralize the stench on this alpaca spirit!"
