Chapter 867: The Stratagem Begins
Christine was very curious, for the young man from China around her.
The other party's body no longer reveals a strong sense of confidence all the time, as if everything is under his control, but at some times, Chen Yuan will show the vicissitudes that should be beyond his age.
A block outside Piazza San Marco, on the shores of the Adraya Sea, in many streets of Venice......
Every now and then, Christine feels that the boy next to her is no longer a boy, but a man.
Walking and chatting, she followed Chen Yuan to the neighborhood next to St. Mark's Square again, this time, she read the "story" in Chen Yuan's eyes, and for the first time became curious about the Chinese-style dim sum house across the road.
But she couldn't read Chinese, so she could only memorize those two things like heavenly books and check them when she was ready to go back.
But the next moment, Christine suddenly heard Chen Yuan's whisper, as if a pair of small hands were gently caressing, and even those who were as bold as she subconsciously blushed.
"Excuse me, Christine, please go to sleep. ”
"Well, okay. ”
After subconsciously answering, Christine's world went dark.
After Chen Yuan helped her to the chair next to her, he turned to look at "Ning Yuan" opposite, and his whole face was completely cold.
'Zhao Shiyi!'
There was no response to the call in his mind, and Chen Yuan's heart sank lower and lower.
Since when?
When you get off the bus? Or when you see that manor?
Chen Yuan couldn't figure it out, but he understood that he had been dragged into a fantasy realm, and he only woke up when he saw "Ning Yuan" for the first time.
There can't be such a coincidence in the world, what is the probability that the things of your own fantasy will appear in reality completely in the same way?
You must know that the Venice in Chen Yuan's fantasy realm is the Venice of 500 years ago!
In reality, Venice could not have been as peaceful and full of tourists as it is now.
This is the era of spiritual power, human beings are always facing the threat of monsters and strange beasts, and Venice on the Adraia Sea is always facing the monsters and beasts in the sea, blood and cruelty have long erased the former famous places and beauty, leaving only the huge city walls full of devastation and steel.
This shouldn't be Venice, it should be the base city of Venice!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan looked around with cold eyes, and only then did he find that although every visitor was strolling and touring leisurely, a pair of eyes were staring at him like dead fish eyes, without any expression.
"Who's it!!!
Without the existence of Zhao Shiyi, Chen Yuan did not dare to reveal that he knew about the split.
To Chen Yuan's surprise, a person walked out of the overcrowded "Ning Garden", it was Liu Xu, who was seen in Chen Yuan's fantasy before, with a fat body, a small braid, and a mouth full of stubble.
He looked at Chen Yuan with a smile, which was completely different from the people around him who seemed to be vivid but didn't have the slightest anger.
"Yes, I reacted so quickly, and I was able to rebel against a splinter human. ”
He clapped his hands and said, without hesitation, he revealed the secret that Chen Yuan wanted to hide.
Cold sweat left on his forehead, Chen Yuan was full of vigilance, and at the same time he sensed it out, wanting to try to find the rules of this illusion, and concoct it according to the real illusion in the dimensional crack.
But Liu Xu shook his head.
"Don't bother, I'm not like them, you can't do it. ”
Chen Yuan's face was extremely gloomy, just like the person in front of him said, he really couldn't sense anything.
"Who the hell are you, and why do you know so much?"
"Who am I? Don't you know very well?"
Hearing this rhetorical question, which seemed to be an affirmation, Chen Yuan's eyes widened completely, and it took a long time to grit his teeth and say word by word: "Body!"
Liu Xu smiled, smiling very happily.
And with the laughter, everything around him became illusory, the real Venice was displayed in front of Chen Yuan's eyes, the road was no longer intact, all the traces left by the war, and the mottled ancient walls showed a dark red, which should be the blood residue that could not be washed away.
The tall walls of steel seem to reach into the sky, completely isolating Venice from the Adraya Sea, and all the tourists around them disappear, leaving only one after another dilapidated sheds, under which are hungry people, each pair of eyes have a thick dead air, but in the depths there is a desire for life, which makes people look awkward and uncomfortable.
Beyond the ruins, St. Mark's Square is in ruins, the central square has been replaced by a deep pit, and the church of St. Mark's next to it has been changed beyond recognition, leaving only the historic stones to continue to record the years, but even these silent objects have not escaped the catastrophe.
Countless inverted pentagrams appeared to have blood structures tattooed on the stones, and some of them had six scarlet wings.
Looking at all this, Chen Yuan was depressed for no reason, and a wave of irritability swelled up.
Liu Xu, who was on the other side, turned around and said lightly: "Human beings are always fragile and strong, I have always been curious, where is your limit?"
After a pause, his tone changed, as if with infinite doubts.
"War and blood, can't break you, the years are long, you can't flow endlessly, even if the planet is drastic, you have survived, why is this?"
Chen Yuan was a little dazed, he didn't understand why the Thousand Eyes Insect said something completely different in the face of such a scene.
"But in the end, I found that you are the only ones who can really destroy humanity, don't you think it's funny?"
As soon as the words changed, Liu Xu turned around again and looked at Chen Yuan with an inquiring gaze.
And the latter's eyes froze, and his head was buried subconsciously, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
Seeing this, Liu Xuan shook his head and chuckled.
"You understand. ”
After being silent for a long time, Chen Yuan raised his head fixedly, with an inexplicable glint in his eyes.
"Is that why you created 'STS'?"
"Create?" Liu Xuan frowned, his eyes thoughtful, "This word is not used correctly, I just pointed out a way out for some people, as for where this road will lead in the end, and what kind of impact it will have on your world, I don't know, and I won't interfere." ”
The Thousand Eyes Insect didn't seem to be surprised that Chen Yuan could guess the connection between "STS" and it, and he seemed to have endless words for Chen Yuan.
But the more this is the case, the more cautious and panicked Chen Yuan's heart becomes.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Liu Xuan smiled faintly, looked at Chen Yuan and said, "You know, I can give you three days, you might as well think about it? You are a smart person, I can let you make your own requests, which is different from me taking the initiative to give." ”
Chen Yuan didn't say anything, his eyes narrowed.
After a while, he spoke quietly.
"How do you get out?"
Hearing this, Liu Xuan turned sideways, revealing the "Ning Yuan" behind him that still had no change.
"Do you dare to go out?"
Looking at the other party's smiling eyes, Chen Yuan took a deep breath, and then stepped forward heavily, walking towards "Ning Yuan" with not too light steps.
When he passed over Liu Xu's side, he seemed to hear a laugh from the void, with a faint sense of ridicule, penetrating to the extreme.
But Chen Yuan didn't hear it, and he didn't even look at the body of the thousand-eyed insect around him, and directly pushed open the door of the only intact "Ning Garden" around.
In a trance, he seemed to see two familiar figures through the kitchen door, both wearing white aprons, laughing and flirting by the oven.
The next moment, a huge noise came into his ears, and everything in reality finally returned to Chen Yuan's senses.
The "Ning Garden" in front of him and all kinds of exquisite pastries in it have disappeared, and the two figures seem to have never appeared, and there is only a ruined wall in the field of vision, which is everywhere revealing the meaning of ruin.
Looking back, the body of the thousand-eyed insect with Liu Xu's face had long since disappeared, and across the dirty street, Christine was lying quietly on a chair, surrounded by a few young people who didn't look bad and well-intentioned, dressed simply.
And the people around him, their eyes were blank to the extreme, and they turned a blind eye to this picture.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan shouted violently: "Get out!"
The voice that didn't carry much spiritual power shocked all the homeless people on the entire street, and the young people were startled, turned to look at Chen Yuanhou, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying, and ran away with a scream.
And Christine also quietly opened her eyes, and then looked around in a daze, and finally fixed her eyes on Chen Yuan, and her pretty face turned white in an instant.
Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled to signal her to reassure, and the latter calmed down.
After such an incident, Chen Yuan no longer had the mind to hang out, and took Christine with him and left this place that seemed like a nightmare to him.
On the way, after Christine calmed down, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chen, what happened just now, and why is there such a huge change in the surrounding illusion?"
Looking at the streets and houses around him that were getting better and better, Chen Yuan also restrained his mind and said with a faint smile: "I gave you a magic trick, do you like it?"
Christine was stunned, she knew that magic couldn't achieve the effect just now, and Chen Yuan's eyes didn't seem to know it a long time ago.
But the other party didn't want to say, and she didn't ask again.
"Yes, Mr. Chen, you're so interesting. ”
"Well, I think too. Chen Yuan replied with a smile, and then seemed to think of something, "Christine, do you know the inverted pentagram with six wings?"
Christine frowned, thought for a moment, and shook her head.
"I've seen this pattern on the photos of the slums, but I don't know what it represents, Mr. Chen, can you tell me? ”
Chen Yuan silently said, after the era of spiritual power, not only the social structure of the Western world collapsed, but even religion also suffered heavy losses, and the once huge Holy Son Sect has long lost its former prestige, and can only retreat in the Vatican, replaced by all kinds of religions that have emerged in the chaotic times, and only after stabilizing did the Holy Son Sect find that they have lost most of the land of the Northern Alliance.
Therefore, it is normal for a young person like Christine not to understand.
"The inverted pentagram means a demon in the Cult of the Holy Son, an enemy of the Lord, and a demon with six wings, called Satan, was the Lord's most powerful assistant and his strongest enemy later. ”
