Chapter 153: The Illusion Collapses
Kun Yu studied the illusion as he pushed open the door and walked out.
At the door, the humanoid creature that came with Kun Yu was already waiting aside.
Seeing Kun Yu come out, the humanoid creature chuckled.
"I'm scared of you, the elder is a naughty child, don't take it personally. ”
Kun Yu nodded with a smile, indicating that he didn't care.
The two began to walk back.
On the way, Kun Yu asked curiously.
"By the way, are you a prisoner native?"
The humanoid shook its head.
"I'm not an aboriginal anymore, I'm the third generation of prisoners, and now the first generation of prisoners is the only elder left, and this is also the pure land he built for us. ”
"Haven't you ever thought about how to get out?"
The humanoid creature shook its head.
"What are you going out for? For you, this is a prison, but for us, this is home, there is family, there are concerns, why do you want to go out?"
Kun Yu fell silent.
This humanoid creature is right, what's good out there?
It's true that there are too many exciting things outside, there are more opportunities for promotion, and you can improve your strength faster.
But in the end, it's just a bigger prison.
Home is the ultimate destination of intelligent creatures.
So, where is his home?
At this moment, Kun Yu was a little dazed.
After fighting for so long, his strength has reached the peak of the king level, but there is no place to settle down.
He is just a passerby to the world after all.
The two of them stopped and walked, and soon arrived at a townhouse living quarter.
Looking back at Kun Yu, who had a blank look in his eyes, the humanoid creature gently patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
"Okay, don't think about it so much, there aren't so many flies and dogs here, this will be your home from now on, you have to adapt as soon as possible." ”
Kun Yu reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth, pushed the door and walked in.
Sitting on the stone platform, Kun Yu was still thinking about the question just now.
Kun Yu has never had this worry, and the beautiful world has not been appreciated enough, what spiritual destination do you want?
But Kun Yu is destined to stay here for a long time, and as soon as people calm down, they will feel lonely, and they will start to think about some metaphysical questions.
A long time passed, during which several creatures in prison wanted to come to the door to meet their new neighbors, but when they saw Kun Yu in a daze, they all sighed and left.
They have not experienced such a situation, or their ancestors should have had it, and in their generation, what is in front of them is real.
I don't know how long it took, Kun Yu's eyes regained clarity.
The fish beads in his brain emitted a trace of coolness, calming Kun Yu's dazed heart.
Taking a deep breath, Kun Yu was alerted to find that he seemed to be caught in some kind of interference.
He shook his head vigorously, got rid of the strange thoughts that kept popping up in his mind, and his expression gradually became solemn.
Looking around, Kun Yu frowned.
It doesn't seem to be as rosy as it seems.
Retracting his gaze, Kun Yu got up and walked out of the house.
The town is still the same as usual, there are no waves and no ups and downs.
The humanoid creature waited on the platform as if it were going to work.
Other creatures also have their own duties, but a town of one or two hundred people has a fixed output every day.
Squinting at these smiling faces, Kun Yu felt awkward.
From the beginning to the end, and from the end to the end.
The small street of less than 500 steps can trap these two hundred creatures.
Walking into a house with open doors, Kun Yu saw fragrant food on the stage at a glance.
The host saw that it was Kun Yu coming, and knew that this was a newcomer, and he was extremely enthusiastic.
brought all the food on the table to Kun Yu, and looked at Kun Yu with eager eyes.
Raising his eyebrows, Kun Yu picked up a piece of food and gently put it in his mouth.
It's fragrant!
But apart from the incense, Kun Yu didn't even taste what it was made of.
The curious Kun Yu picked up another piece, looked at the smiling master's house, and asked curiously.
"This is so fragrant, what is it made of?"
The smile on the master's face froze, picked up the plate, turned around and left with a cold face.
Kun Yu, who was left standing at the door, looked confused.
The master's house went to the back, and it seems that he should not come out in a short time.
Kun Yu, who didn't know where to offend the other party, threw the food into his mouth, shrugged his shoulders, and continued to walk towards the next family.
The second one next door, like the previous one, was still very enthusiastic when they saw Kun Yu.
Kun Yu regained his smiling face, picked up a string of artifacts shining with gorgeous treasures, looked up and down, and his mouth was amazed.
This artifact has never been seen before, and it is extraordinarily warm to the outside, a bit like jade, but much harder than jade.
Kun Yu asked curiously while stroking up and down.
"It's something that's made of. ”
As a result, just like the previous family, the host snatched the utensils, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
At this time, Kun Yu understood that it was not that he had offended others, but that in this heavy prison, it seemed that he could not ask about the raw materials of everything.
But why?
Kun Yu shook his hand, his face a little gloomy.
To figure out why, he moved on to the next one.
But the same result appeared again, and when he asked for raw materials again, the other party snorted coldly and disappeared.
didn't try again, Kun Yu walked directly to the easternmost part of the town with an ugly face.
The door of the dryad was still open, and Kun Yu pushed it open.
Inside, the tree spirit was doing something with his back to Kun Yu, and was startled by the rough sound of the door opening.
When he looked up and saw Kun Yu standing at the door, he was shocked, and hurriedly hid the things in his hand behind him.
At a glance, Kun Yu saw that the tree spirit seemed to be holding a small square in his hand, and there seemed to be lines and lines on the square.
Walking in with a cold face, Kun Yu stood in front of the tree spirit and asked condescendingly.
"In order to keep these creatures, you even let them reincarnate in your illusion. ”
The tree spirit looked at the aggressive Kun Yu, frowned, and finally lowered his head helplessly.
"You can't do it if you don't. ”
Kun Yu sat on the stone platform with an indifferent expression.
The dryad didn't care, and sat cross-legged on the ground, revealing the things in his hand, and explained.
"It's too bitter, it's really bitter here. ”
"There was nothing in the whole prison to punish the sinners in the prison, and we lived in despair every day when we first came, and then some of them collapsed. ”
"There is no light, no air, no energy, no objects, only walls of despair and thick earth, and impenetrable spatial seals. ”
"Our group, dead and crazy, and in the end I barely survived. ”
"But I didn't want to be the only one who lived, and the end result was nothing more than going crazy first and then dying, so I created this illusion, and the creatures in this illusion are the souls of those dead criminals. ”
"It's not that I'm holding them back, it's that they don't want to dissipate, and I can only maintain the stability of the illusion, after all, in the illusion, they are still alive. ”
Kun Yu raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice.
"Then why didn't you say it some time ago?"
The tree spirit spread his hands helplessly, and said weakly.
"There's no way, the whole layer of heavy prison, only you and I are left with two living creatures, if you know and can't accept it, I may have to pull another soul. ”
Kun Yu waved his hand.
"I don't believe a word of what you say, if you don't tell the truth, I'll tear down your illusion. ”
"No, I'm telling the truth. ”
The dryad was in a hurry.
There was a knock at the door, and the humanoid creature's voice appeared strangely outside the door.
Kun Yu and the tree spirit frowned at the same time.
The tree spirit glanced at Kun Yu and said in a deep voice to the door.
"Come in. ”
Kun Yu shrank back, his entire body shrinking into the shadows.
The humanoid creature walked in, looking a little flustered, and didn't pay attention to Kun Yu on the side.
When he saw the tree spirit, he fell to his knees with a pop.
"Elder, something happened, the town, something can't be controlled. ”
The dryad was startled and took two quick steps out of the door to look.
The skies of the town are slowly shattering.
One by one, the inhabitants of the town seemed to have lost consciousness, their eyes staring straight at the broken sky, and their expressions were empty.
"What's going on?"
The dryad roared and turned to look at the humanoid.
At this time, the movements of the humanoid creature also began to stiffen, and it slowly stood up, its pupils dilated, and it walked stiffly to the door, staring straight at the sky.
Kun Yu stepped out of the shadows and stood beside the humanoid creature, following his gaze and looking up.
Nothing was seen except the shattering sky.
The dryads began to rummage through the cabinets, as if looking for something.
Kun Yu threw the slate to the dryad.
"Are you looking for this?"
The tree spirit didn't bother to think about why it was there with Kun Yu, and hurriedly took it.
The whole body energy is activated, and energy is started to be injected into the stone slab.
But the space around it is still crumbling.
The dryad sat down on the ground in frustration, looking lonely.
Kun Yu walked up to him and asked curiously.
"What's wrong?"
The dryad fiddled with the slate in his hand and replied with a sad face.
"In order to ensure that it has been circulating, the illusion will erase the memories of the previous time every time, but in fact, it is not cleared, but forcibly compressed into the depths of their memories and sealed. ”
"But now, the memories have collapsed, and the souls that are the foundation of the illusion will soon dissipate, and the illusion will dissipate with it. ”
Kun Yu was a little puzzled.
"How can a good memory collapse when it says it collapses?"
The tree spirit raised his face and looked at Kun Yu, and said fiercely.
"Because of you. ”
Kun Yu pointed at himself, his face full of wonder.
"If you hadn't asked, they wouldn't have started to think about where the things they make every day come from, and these memories would break through their memory shackles. ”
"If this memory shackle is so fragile, why don't you just let this illusion work on its own, why do you want to block the memory?"
The tree spirit bowed his head after a ruthless shot.
"There are too few resources here, the only resources are these souls, I can only use these souls as the foundation of the illusion, although I know that it is very fragile, but it can still function. ”
Kun Yu's eyes widened instantly.
After learning the architecture of the illusion, he knew how majestic the resources needed to build a reasonable illusion in its entirety were.
The knowledge involved can even split a world.
But in the midst of a resource-barren prison, this tree spirit was able to construct the most streamlined illusion with a single soul on his own.
If he is given sufficient resources, he will not directly build a world?
Kun Yu became more curious about the identity of this tree spirit.
"What was your previous status?"
The dryad had already given up saving the illusion, and replied impatiently with a shake of the slate in his hand.
"This abyss is what I helped to design. ”
Regardless of whether the other party was bragging or not, Kun Yu continued to follow the other party's words and asked.
"Why is such an important person in prison? and on the first floor?"
The tree spirit glanced at Kun Yu obliquely, and lay directly back, and his whole body spread out in large characters.
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Kun Yu was not annoyed, and also lay down.
"Anyway, now there are only the two of us left, and your illusion is shattered, I guess you won't have a chance to build another one, and it may be that the two of us will live together in the future, what secrets can't be said?"
The dryad rolled over.
"I'm not like you. ”
"What's the difference?"
"I'm not a criminal. ”
"Then why are you being locked up here?"
"I tell you, not only am I not a criminal, but above all, I came in to protect myself. ”
Hearing this, Kun Yu became even more curious.
"Tell me about it. ”
Probably considering that only Kun Yu was left to talk to in the future, the tree spirit also let go of his mind and said slowly.
"This world is not as simple as you think, what you see is what you want to see, or in other words, this world is a real big illusion. ”
"A real illusion. ”
