Section 53 The World of Illusions

Although Lu Wu knew very well that there was a clearing around this, and it was a harmless concrete floor, the burning heat felt by his skin made it impossible to believe that this was an illusion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sky was no longer bright for a second, but gray, as if in some dark abyss. I don't know where the light comes from, but there is light and the vision is clear.

As far as the eye can see, there are semi-solidified pools of magma, and from time to time there is a bubble of the kind.

Only under the feet is a solid rock...... No, it's not just the foothills, it should be said that this kind of rock is intertwined and dotted in the magma pool. Ahead, that is, the two rows of painted and rusty containers in Lu Wu's memory, have now turned into two black rock walls, sandwiching out a sheep's intestine path in the middle.

It's something very vivid in memory, but whatever the memory is, what you see now is completely different.

Originally, it was just a very ordinary concrete floor, but there was a small aisle on both sides because of the stacked containers, and no one would feel special when they looked at it. But looking at this crater-like environment, looking at the bubbling magma under his feet, and feeling the heat rising in the air around him, Lu Wu clearly felt the sweat in his palms.

"Partner, this illusion that is not directly controlled by the warlock has one principle, and that is continuity. In the headphones, the voice of a master sounded. "You can't have two things with the same thing. For example, if the container on the left is disguised as a stone by illusion, the container on the right will definitely be a stone and will not turn into a tree. For example, if the concrete floor under your feet is transformed into a beach, then as long as the concrete floor is a beach, you will see it as a beach, and there is no way to turn it into seawater. ”

Lu Wu bent down and approached the unsolidified magma on the side with his hand. As the distance decreases, you can clearly feel the strong heat. Although I know it's fake, this feeling is really no different from the real thing. Lu Wu gritted his teeth, wanting to try to touch the magma with his fingers.

"Partner, you're doing something stupid. The master said in a slow and logical tone.

"What?"

"You want to break free from illusion, right? But tell you, it's impossible. Partner, what do you think the magic of the warlocks is? If an ordinary person can break free so easily, what is it worth? Partner, don't take that magma for fake, because if you touch it, your fingers will be burned. ”

"Why?"

"The distance between illusion and reality is not close, but it is definitely not as far as you think. Although in reality your hand is only touching the concrete floor, as long as you believe in your heart that you are hurt, then you are really hurt. You want to prove that it's illusory, but you end up being engulfed in illusions. As far as I know, only those who are truly determined as iron and stone can temporarily break free from the control of illusion under certain conditions. It's not for nothing that warlocks can become the overlords of the Aether Sea. ”

Lu Wu withdrew his hand.

"Anyway, remember what I just said. Illusion has continuity...... Within the same range, the same thing can only be transfigured in one way. Okay, let's go. ”

If there is a description of this illusory world, it is "the abyss". When you step out of the small aisle (in reality, it is a small aisle sandwiched between two rows of containers), there is a world of metal in front of you, like a huge factory suspended above a volcano. The ground beneath his feet turned into barbed wire, through which he could see the lava pool below.

This is not the semi-solidified lava pool that we used to have, but lava that boils like boiling water.

I know it's fake, I know that it's just an old dock area under my feet, and the ground is all hardened cement pavement, even if there is a difference, it's just a little more cement or a little more stones. But what we see right now is impossible to ignore.

"It's close to the central part. Lu Wu closed his eyes and recalled the aerial photos of the old pier he had seen before. Although the illusion has changed the whole world, it is just as the master said, there are traces to follow.

If you overlap and compare the map you remember in your mind with the environment you see in reality, you can guess that you are on the edge of the warehouse.

In the illusion world, the huge mountain in front of it, which is so huge that you can't see the top, should be made of the warehouse.

Lu Wu reached out and felt the mine from his back, he didn't look at it with his eyes, but with his own touch. He is now gradually realizing that vision is the first factor that triggers hallucinations, and once vision is confused by illusion, other senses in the body, such as hearing and touch, will also follow, forming a complete illusion. At this time, it is almost impossible to break free. Even if you put your hand into the hallucinatory magma, you are only self-harming.

However, if you do it another way, things will be much better. Lu Wu had already tried it just now. When you throw a coin on the ground, you just need to look up and look elsewhere, and when you look back, you will immediately see that the coin on the ground has become something else. However, if you throw a coin on the ground and your eyes deliberately do not look at it, it is still the coin that you pick up.

The reason for this is probably because vision is the most important channel for human beings to receive information from the outside world.

It was not difficult to set up mines, because Lu Wu brought enough tools, especially tripwires to trigger mine fuses. Lu Wu prepared the piano wire—the best and thinnest wire he could find. As long as the light is a little dim, or people are a little careless, they will ignore its existence.

"Partner, it's almost the center here, and nine out of nine evil spirits should be here. In the headphones, the voice of the master sounded.

"Master, aren't you afraid of being taken away by the evil spirit again?"

"Hey, I can play dead......" the master said softly. "Don't take the evil spirit seriously, it's no better than a warlock, and now that I've changed to rely on it, it's not very likely that it will see through me. Unless the demon searches for it, it won't find me, and I'm sure it's not as intelligent as I am now. ”

As he spoke, he turned around a rock (presumably a container transfigration), and in front of him was the center of the illusion barrier.

The illusionary barrier is a circle, and its central part is the edge of the original dock. If you look at the map, it is a temporary storage yard where the ship is docked and unloaded.

However, because the old dock has been abandoned, there will be no ships here, so this large open space is now littered with a few dilapidated containers. Unlike the neatly arranged containers that Lu Wu saw before (although they were also abandoned), the containers here are really irregularly placed, and they belong to the type with serious damage. One of them even had half of the top cut off.

Still, the place was big enough to be seen as a small square.

Of course, that was the way it was. Now it has become a pond boiling with flames. In the distance was a boiling fire, not magma, but flames—like the bright molten iron of an ironworks. A grid of iron plates made of a high platform was in the middle of the flames, and a figure stood on it.

It was a slender woman, dressed in a black, slightly oddly styled outfit with long black hair. At first, she had her back to Lu Wu, but Lu Wu's arrival immediately alerted her.

The woman turned around, and Lu Wu saw a blurred face...... No, it can't be said to be blurry, but she has a pair of eyes that glow with a dark red light. The eyes are so dazzling that you can't pay attention to the rest of your facial features.

Lu Wu already knew what the evil spirit was like—more than one person had told him. However, it was indeed the first time he had seen the evil spirit head-on.

The demon does not appear to be injured at all, and amber is not visible around it. But behind the demon, there is an object that glows white. I couldn't tell what it was, because the light was quite intense, and I could only vaguely think that it should be a cube.

There is nothing else to be seen.

Maybe Amber is invisible, maybe ...... She didn't come at all, which meant that there had never been a fight here. That's why no explosions were heard.

Lu Wu suddenly had this thought, maybe it was because of the evil ghost's actions and behavior, and he couldn't see any injuries at all.

"It's quite interesting, there is an uninvited guest visiting?" said the words that frightened Lu Wu from the mouth of the woman, that is, the evil ghost. The evil spirit is not speaking an otherworldly language that Amber doesn't understand at all, but Lu Wu's mother tongue, that is, Mandarin Chinese, and he speaks in a round tone.

Amber has studied Chinese with Lu Wu for so long, and it is estimated that what he says may not be as standard as evil spirits.

It's not the same...... I don't know where I've changed, but this evil ...... It was completely different from the evil ghost that Lu Wu expected.

"Actually came here...... Should I say it deserves praise?" said the Demon, and the next second, it raised the gun in its hand.

Lu Wu already knew how terrifying the evil ghost's marksmanship was, even in the dark of night, at a distance of nearly 100 meters, the evil spirit could use a pistol to the point where he would never touch his eyes with a nose. And this time, the demon had not a pistol in his hand, but an automatic rifle.

"Give the lantern three seconds, and it will disappear from my presence!

Lu Wu intuitively understood that this was not a bluff. Although analyzed from a rational point of view, it is certainly not normal for the evil spirit to say such things. It may no longer be combative, or it may be hiding its injuries. But Lu Wu intuitively understood that the evil spirit was really not hurt in any way. Or maybe she's in perfect shape right now.

He's not a coward. No, maybe he's actually timid.

"By the way, you shouldn't have come here...... Did you bump into it like a blind cat touching a dead mouse? or...... Is it through the comparison of the map?"

"Interesting!" said the demon suddenly, "then give it a try!"

Without hesitation, she pulled the trigger, and the muzzle of the rifle immediately spat out a string of tongues of fire.

I don't know if it was Lu Wu's quick reaction or something else, seeing that the other party was about to make a move, Lu Wu hurriedly hid by a bunker on the side. In the world of illusions, it is a low wall made of steel. In the real world, it should be a cement pier.

"Run, if you don't run, you'll die!" came the evil voice in his ears.
