The tall buildings standing on the left and right, the bizarre billboards, and the endless stream of pedestrians did not give Luo Ning a sense of intimacy. On the contrary, in his eyes, those tall buildings that stood tall into the sky were like a group of hideous-looking gargoyles, looking down on him condescendingly, as if they were going to swoop down in the next second, tearing him apart with their steel fingers.

"Damn!, why is this here?!"

Luo Ning's voice was a little choked. The memory that had almost faded and disappeared suddenly became clear and vivid, like a burnt red brand, and the "zurish" was reprinted in his heart.

In his previous life, Luo Ning had come to this shopping street - this was the place where his parents in his previous life had quarrels and fights. He cried and tried to stop the two, but was ignored, reprimanded and even warned! Soon after, his parents divorced and became passers-by who never got along with each other, and the term "home" became a beautiful but broken dream in Luo Ning's heart.

"The last thing I want to see is this hellish place!" Luo Ning gritted his back molars and squeaked, his eyes slightly reddened, but he forcibly held back the moisture that was about to gush out. He didn't want to lose to this memory, and he didn't even want to admit that it belonged to himself in his previous life!

"Ronin!" Karen, sensing that his expression was different, suddenly felt a burst of panic, and hurriedly held Ronin's palm. At this moment, Luo Ning suddenly whispered something, and his five fingers suddenly burst out with a huge force, like an iron tong clamping Karen's palm.

"It hurts!"

Karen's hand was almost pinched and deformed by Ronin, and tears rolled in her eyes in pain. But even so, she still held back, stubbornly holding on to Luo Ning and unwilling to separate. A few minutes later, Karen lost sensation in her left hand. Fortunately, Luo Ning finally unloaded the strength in his hands. It's just that for some reason, the resentment and uneasiness on his face are even deeper, as if they have penetrated the surface and seeped into his blood and soul.

"Mentor Maggie, look! There are so many people from Dongxian Island over there! What strange clothes they are wearing!"

Mentor Maggie stretched out his hand to stop the student who wanted to run over: "Don't be impulsive!

The exclamation just now made Karen, who was staring at Luo Ning a little more sober. She looked in the direction of the voice, but saw a group of strange figures with black hair and black eyes, dressed in strange costumes, suddenly appear on the side of everyone. Most of them were silently walking back and forth down the street. Only a husband and wife were arguing fiercely in an unfamiliar language, and even began to push each other.

But in the end, it was the little boy who stood alone next to the couple that caught Karen's attention. This little boy has the same black hair and black eyes as everyone else, and he doesn't look like Luo Ning at all. But for some reason, Karen saw the shadow of Ronin in him.

"No, stop arguing!" Luo Ning suddenly lost his voice and shouted in the language of his previous life, leaving Karen behind and moving back a little, his hands and even his body trembling slightly. Karen's left hand was sore, so she reached out her right hand and grabbed his palm, and it was cold.

"Calm down, Ronin! This is in the primary illusion! The people you see are illusions!"

Karen's words didn't make Ronin any better. He lowered his head in pain, repeating words that Karen couldn't understand, and although he didn't cry, his emotions were close to getting out of control, and there were two cries in his voice.

At that moment, the couple stopped arguing, glared at the little boy in unison, and then walked away with their heads and disappeared. There were more and more pedestrians around, and many of them even walked by rubbing the little boy's body. But as the minutes passed, no one was willing to stop and care for him. Such an indifferent act seems to treat the little boy as an air that cannot be seen or touched.

How could a boy of five or six years old stand this? After a while, he sat on the ground with his legs limp and the blankness in his eyes made Karen feel very distressed. She was sighing to herself, and she felt her right hand tighten, and the whole person was pulled to the ground by Luo Ning.

"Ronin?" Karen straightened up and found that Ronin was also sitting on the ground like the boy, her eyes full of loneliness and loss, and she could barely see the light of the past.

Luo Ning raised his head and stared at his childhood self in another world, sometimes with a heartbreaking smile on his face, and sometimes gritted his teeth to reveal unwilling anger, his expression was extremely entangled: "Ah, it's all gone, both of them are gone......!" No, I don't want to throw in the towel! I promised myself: even if there is only one last glimmer of hope, the last glimmer of hope......

Seeing this, Karen was so anxious that her eyes were red, and she hated to bear the bitterness in the latter's heart instead of Luo Ning. It's just that from beginning to end, he couldn't understand the language used by Luo Ning. In a hurry, she squatted down and stretched out her arms from behind to hug Luo Ning, and pressed the two cheeks tightly together: "Enough Luo Ning! I don't know why it became like this! But I hate to see Luo Ning's lonely eyes! I hate it the most! So no matter what happened in the past, I will always be with you!!"

Karen's tears flowed down their two sticky cheeks into their necks and then to their hearts. At the same time, where Karen could not see, the flame totem, which symbolized the fanatic, once again appeared on Ronin's eyes and forehead.

"Huh?" Instructor Maggie was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the students, "You take a closer look at the surrounding buildings and the pedestrians. This is not like the picture in Luo Ning's mind, but like a scene from another world, which is very valuable for research. ”

The trainees except Karen turned around when they heard this, and Mentor Maggie breathed a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she quietly walked to Luo Ning and the others, and when she bumped into Luo Ning, she suddenly screamed, and the fanatic totem on her body suddenly dissipated, and her eyes returned to their former brilliance. Then he swept his gaze around, and after a moment's pause, he suddenly turned around and hugged Karen tightly, gasping for air.

"Ronin......" Karen was suddenly embraced, and when she saw Mentor Maggie getting closer and closer, she was so ashamed that her face was feverish and she closed her eyes.

In addition to Ronin's gasps and the rapid heartbeats of the two of them, Karen heard Mentor Maggie stop and asked, "I'm curious, Ronin! But you're actually caught up in it, and you're creating all these strange scenes in the environment. It is indeed possible for those who are new to illusion to be affected by magic and get caught up in their own knots. Could it be that what the little boy not far away is going through is a weakness in your heart?"

Luo Ning breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard this, but his arms hugged Karen tighter: "To be precise, that was my former weakness! I am stubborn, strong and sensitive, all affected by this incident! But now it is different - as long as Karen is with me, that scene will never defeat me!"
