002-007 Entering the World of Mental Imagery (New)

As the bell rings for the end of class, the school is officially out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that because most of the students have joined the club, many of them did not stay in the class, so they quickly packed their schoolbags and went to participate in extracurricular activities.

And Qu Lingyun, who is the backbone of the school's "Women's Athletics Club", also talked and laughed with several girls in her class who were half a head taller than her and left the classroom, looking at the back of the girl gradually drifting away, Bai Ze relaxed a lot.

Rubbing the side of his head with a swelling pain, it was the result of a nightmare that took so long last night.

Although he vaguely remembered that he was almost always in a state of exhaustion in the dream, but for some reason he couldn't recall any details, and as long as he took a little nap, he had a premonition that he would be dragged away by that nightmare again, which made him spend all his energy on fighting sleepiness, resulting in not listening to a word in today's class, and not daring to go to the health room to rest.

Thinking about the club activities that he would participate in for a while, Bai Ze's head suddenly grew - most people have extracurricular club groups to carry out activities after school, even if they are lazy guys like Bai Ze, they report to the club every time they are active.

He participated in the "Classical Magic Seminar Society", the purpose of which was established to study astrology, witchcraft, black magic, potions, demon summoning and other occult contents that were once very popular in the Western Middle Ages. The man who was frightened by the bloody scene turned around and ran, but left Bai Ze there.

When he was surrounded by several seniors whose hands were still stained with blood because of the blood sacrifice with rabbits, and asked whether he had joined the club with a "cordial and enthusiastic" face, his legs were weak and he found that there was no way to escape, so he had to nod honestly.

However, after the boy joined, he learned that this club was not as bloody and dark as he imagined at the beginning, in fact, when he visited that day, because it was a "recruitment activity", those senior seniors in order to be able to give a strong impact and attraction to the new students who were interested in "magic", specially after consulting many ancient books, took out all their energy to put out the demon summoning ritual using blood sacrifices!

It's just that these seniors who have first-class learning ability, but at the same time have a little "cramp" in their heads, didn't expect them to be full of energy, but they scared everyone - in the end, Bai Ze's freshmen, only three people joined the club except him, except for one of the girls who joined the club voluntarily, and the other two were all pulled out because they didn't have time to escape.

It's just that since he joined this club, he has begun to have nightmares inexplicably, at first every month and a half, and then it has become more and more frequent.

At this moment, it was from that demonstration of demon summoning that the seniors conducted, and that ancient ritual may have inadvertently affected him, and as a result, he has been haunted by nightmares ever since.

Although he didn't want to join such a strange club for a long time, only here was there a way for him to be able to free himself from the increasingly real and terrifying nightmare (although he gave all the "credit" to an unknown psychiatrist for free), not to mention that the sophomore senior who was the president of the club in the year he joined the club was really domineering, not only did people not be able to say such a thing as quitting the club in front of her, but everyone, including Bai Ze, didn't even dare to be absent from work for no reason - after a year like thisIt has become a kind of reflex for him to report to the club - because of this, even if the teenager is in an unusually bad state at the moment, he still walks towards the activity building with strong spirits.

This famous school integrates the primary school, junior high school and even the university department, and in the junior high school where he is located, it is divided into four departments: the general department, the international department, the art department and the sports department, and it is one of the best in the city and even in the neighboring provinces. It attracts a large number of students from other provinces to study here every year, and it is no surprise that his club is also located in that beautiful place.

Although there are bumpy stairs between the school building and the club building, there is a hanging corridor from the school building that leads directly to the third floor of the activity building built on the hillside, which allows him to get to the activity classroom on the top floor without having to climb too many mountain paths.

This activity building is also the main teaching building in the early days of the school, so both the decoration and the facilities are a few points of antiquity, and the area of each classroom is nearly one-third smaller than other new teaching buildings, but although it can no longer take on the important role of education, but its main building and internal pipelines are still very strong and durable, which was renovated more than ten years ago after a renovation, it was transformed into a social office building for students to use, and it is since that time, The school's otherwise weak extracurricular clubs have sprung up like mushrooms.

Bai Ze, who is already quite tired, is walking on the road leading to the stairwell, because compared to other domestic middle schools, the club atmosphere of this private school park is extremely strong, so the students in the surrounding classrooms are actively carrying out club activities at the moment, which makes the teenagers in the corridor inevitably immersed in the various sounds coming from the walls of the classrooms on both sides, and this dynamic and unique lively atmosphere, so that his original decadent spirit seems to be boosted a little.

There are many pedestrians on the staircase in the middle of the building, and only here can you easily see students from other grades who are not in the same school building as Bai Ze, and because the middle school and high school in this campus are one, there are more high school students who are more willing to participate in group activities than junior high school students.

Just when Bai Ze carefully avoided a pair of senior students who were chatting happily, his eyes swayed uncontrollably violently for a moment, although this kind of thing is very common when the body is tired, but during that period, the things he saw seemed to reflect a completely different and strange scene, but when he settled down, he couldn't say what he saw, only a square light and shadow left a hazy image in his line of sight - even if the square light and shadow were very strange, But when he saw the square window he had just passed, the boy was relieved.

The club classroom he was in was located on the top floor of this activity building, so he had to climb several floors in a row to reach it, but because he was used to climbing these stairs, Bai Ze was not in good spirits at the moment and did not go home directly because of this.

As he walked around the corner platform, he felt his eyes move again, this time the square light and shadow were a little clearer—and this time, the boy began to feel uneasy, for he realized that the phantom did not look like a window, for he was now facing a high staircase, and the window on this floor was now behind him.

At the same time, he felt a strange chill that did not chill his body, but made his mind shiver in helplessness and trembling as if it were soaked in ice water, like a nightmare in a nightmare, or a ghost in the night!

At the same time as he felt a chill in his heart, the infinite darkness was like a tide rushing towards him out of nowhere, almost instantly leaving him in a completely dark space, but just as he was about to be frozen by this cold, a faint warmth slowly rose from his body, and even the surface of his body emitted a soft and warm red light.

Just after his mind recovered from the bone-chilling cold because of this light, the red light suddenly flew out of his body, and vaguely condensed into a certain shape, and at this moment, the chill that was re-enveloped by the light leaving his body made him immediately reach out to the light in front of him that seemed to be about to leave him without thinking about it - the moment he touched the light, the brilliant bright light instantly tore and swallowed everything!

When the boy finally recovered his vision from the blank bright light, he realized that he was already on a square platform floating in the endless mist, most of the space inside the platform was surrounded by a circle of circular walls roughly made of large ashlars, and in the front half of this wall there were three doors in a very regular manner, but except for the central gate, which was open outwards on both sides, it was closed, and there was a low stone platform near the wall at the backOn the left side of the platform there is a withered tree growing on the ground, and on the right side stands a tall obelisk on the surface, and behind the center of the platform stands a wide stone chair made of marble.

Not only is the earth of the walls covered with weeds, but the floor of the surrounding ground is also as if it had been eroded by the wind for thousands of years.

Bai Ze was sitting upright on a stone chair in the center, and in front of him, floating in front of him, a 16-carat ancient book wrapped in leather covers, a mixture of parchment and coated paper.

The book has silver clasps on the spine and openings, and on the front cover, a red magic crest that occupies the entire page is inscribed, and in the center of the coat of arms is an abstract eye-shaped pattern shaped like the "Eye of Horus", except that it is surrounded by a projection of light that resembles a radiant circumference.

The first page of each chapter of the thick book is a metal partition like a thin copperplate, followed by a charred yellow parchment, and when Bai Ze reached out to touch this ancient classic, which seemed to be expensive, a spiritual message suddenly rushed into his mind, making him feel as if he had been drunk and confused for a short time, and then when his spirit regained his calm, the text was also read and understood by him, and he learned a lot of information.

The name of this heavy book is "The Book of Remembering All Vientiane", which is a special structure formed by Bai Ze after "awakening" from the "sleeping" state of being unaware of the spiritual world, and by the spirit that has come into contact with the subspace to attract the surrounding spiritual essence, a special structure that protects the soul.

The spatial structure he is in at the moment is the "Mental Image World" that is supported in his heart based on this treasure, and this is also one of the main abilities of this treasure.

Secondly, when possessing the protection of this "mental image world", mortals who were originally like candles in the wind in the spiritual world also have the ability to maintain themselves and refuse to be leashed - to put it bluntly, Bai Ze will no longer need to worry about those weird and dangerous nightmares.

And along with the book's instructions, there was also the reason why he had nightmares - although the child's play demon summoning technique had failed, because it strictly followed the steps of the ancient ritual, the part that communicated the subspace in the first half could be called quite successful, and it was at that time that Bai Ze inadvertently came into contact with the subspace wormhole that briefly appeared in the material world on the spiritual level.

From that moment on, his spirit had a connection with the subspace, which was also the reason for the frequent nightmares after that - that faint connection made him involuntarily perceive the spiritual information radiating from the subspace after falling asleep, and the subspace is the collection of entropy and the final destination of all evil and chaos in all planes, so under the influence of these clutter, having nightmares can be regarded as strong-willed, and some people's hearts will even be completely distorted by this force and driven crazy!

But it's not all bad, as if the recruits who join the special forces will have unimaginably huge growth after a long period of devilish training, as long as they don't collapse and quit.

Under the continuous oppression of the power of the subspace, Bai Ze's mind also continued to grow rapidly during this period, and quickly absorbed some of the power that could be used from the diffuse subspace, and after a long time of accumulation and evolution, it was finally completely constructed at this moment, and under the influence of a certain mysterious force, not only formed this "Soul Treasure", but also built the "Pure Land of the Heart" in this heart image world!

Opened the book, carefully flipped through the dim pages that seemed to be made of soft parchment, the whole book was written with a kind of mysterious rune that a teenager had never seen before, although he felt that it was a bit like a legendary oracle bone or gold script, but it had a painting-like beauty, but although he didn't know these words, but he was surprisingly able to understand what these characters wrote - Bai Ze was surprised to find that the trajectory of his life in this life was actually recorded on it, Although there are only a few other things except for some important events, this is worthy of its reputation as "The Book of All Things".

In addition, on the color page of coated paper at the front of the page, there is a vaguely human-shaped pattern composed of countless complex and cumbersome patterns, and the patterns that make up this pattern are relatively clearly divided into several different parts, and when Bai Ze stares at one of the pattern areas, some inexplicable data and information are interpreted by him, and through the understanding of these information, he finds that this actually includes his physical literacy, mental quality, There's a lot of unclear information about soul traits and even energy and concept resistances - but for some reason, this data always gives him a strange feeling similar to the in-game character status interface.

The patterns that make up his torso represent the qualities of the soul, but when viewed alone, they magically appear to be a small red snake wrapped around a silver cross, but the information contained in it seems to be so densely encoded that it cannot be easily discerned as the patterns in other areas.

When Bai Ze let go of the book, although it gradually disappeared in front of him, it appeared in his already formed mental space, and it could be read directly in his mind without embodying it.

Speaking of mental space, in fact, Bai Ze is practicing an entry-level meditation technique called "Mind Condensation" together according to the requirements of the club, because there are hard requirements and will practice together regularly, the result has been persevering, I don't know if it is because of the talent in this area or the clutter influence from the subspace, the young man's progress is quite fast, and he has reached the realm of the meditation method before that, so as to get the ability to enter the level of deep meditation and quickly recover energy, The formation of the mental space represents the culmination of the meditation method - perhaps it is under the influence of this meditation method that this strange mental world will be formed at this moment.

Rising from the stone chair, the boy went to the withered tree to take a look, only to find that the pale tree was far from what he had thought.

Through the hard and cracked skin like white coral, you can see the bast part that is as soft and shiny as silver, as well as the golden veins and the hard trunk of a cyan gem like glass.

And the next moment he gently pressed his hand on the trunk of the tree, it was as if a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in his heart, and his eyes suddenly brightened, and there was nothing in front of him that could block his vision, only to see behind the cyan glass-like trunk that was already difficult to see, and he could vaguely see the red beads the size of water droplets rolling in strings on the back, and in the deepest part it seemed that purple sapwood and emerald green heartwood could be seen - this tree seemed to be composed of various treasures. The closer you look at it, the more you can't help but be amazed by its magnificence.

And when he looked down, he saw that the main trunk of the tree's rhizome pierced straight down to the bottom of the platform, until it broke through the rock formation below that was not known to be a few hundred meters away, and then turned into six huge pillars and pierced straight into the boundless ocean below; And when he looked up, the clouds and mist in the sky suddenly faded and disappeared, and countless shining points of light like stars almost filled the sky overhead, and when he looked carefully, he found that the starlight was actually a bubble-like space, and the fog shrouded in the surface of these spaces was also dispelled with his eyes, only to see a figure curled up at the very core of each bubble with an unclear face and even a figure. Inside the bubbles, there are colorful clouds that look like aurora lights, and various images can be faintly seen in the clouds and mist.

And between the deep gaps between those bubbles and bubbles, you can see all kinds of strange-looking and unbelievable strange shadows constantly shuttling and flying, from time to time they will be attracted by the light emitted by the bubbles and gather away, but they will fly to the other side again after sucking the light away, but just above the top barrier of the small space where he is, it seems that because the fog at the top dissipates and reveals the light below, it suddenly attracts dozens of strange shadows that can only be seen in the oil paintings of impressionist painters. It's rubbing, scratching, and pounding on the surface, as if you want to break through this layer of shield and break into it!

However, before he could see the appearance of those strange shadows, all the strange shadows suddenly spontaneously ignited without wind after coming into contact with his gaze, and then he felt that his spirit became exhausted almost immediately, and even his body at this moment lost the strength to stand, and at the same time he fell behind him, he saw that the fog that had been scattered above his head regathered to form a blue sky, and then his eyes turned black and he completely lost his mind.

And when Bai Ze reintegrated his fragmented and exhausted consciousness and gradually regained control of his body, he realized that he had returned to reality.

The boy only felt as if his head was about to explode, and even the whole world was spinning and swaying, even if he had never been drunk, but he could conclude that even those drunkards were not as painful as he was at the moment!

It was a terrible feeling that no one wanted to have a second time, and not only that, but he felt that his energy was extremely scarce, and that a sense of powerlessness from the depths of his soul dominated his whole body, and he even felt as if every breath he took would stop in the next moment, and the muscles in his body were no longer controlled, as if his nerve endings had become numb and difficult to perceive his body - but even with all the exhaustion, even the constant swelling, soreness, and tingling of his head, he did not feel sleepy at allIt's a feeling that makes people crazy!

"Drink it!"

Out of nowhere, a cup of weird hot drink that exudes a rich and pungent smell and a dark green color is revealed, but the boy who can't be worse anymore takes a sip and pours it immediately!

It seems that the smell of rotten vegetable leaves and damp rotten wood, as well as the sweetness and bitterness of yellow lotus and honey, these flavors are mixed together, and it is simply disgusting that people can't swallow it, but as soon as he enters it, he recalls this hot drink of the real body, and still swallows it alive with the feeling of nausea that seems to be boiling and regurgitating!

The man who handed him this cup of hot drink sat beside him at the moment - this is a beautiful girl who anyone can't help but stop and look at when they see her, she not only has delicate facial features and delicate skin like a doll, but also has dark and straight hair as beautiful as satin, but those dark eyes that seem to absorb all the light, although beautiful but also more terrifying, Bai Ze can't even find his own reflection in the eyes staring at him - this is where Bai Ze is" In the "Classical Magic Research Society", the contemporary president who is the same level as Bai Ze, but was specially selected by the previous president, Dadao Ya, because the Japanese pronunciation of the surname is similar to that of the professor, so he was nicknamed "Professor" by his friends, of course, Bai Ze is not that cheeky to call her by this name.

The taste of this cup of "special refreshing licorice tea" that is said to be treated by Dadao classmates according to the recipe of the family heirloom "Chinese medicine" has been disgusting to an extreme, but it has great benefits for restoring the spirit, almost the next moment when he swallowed this whole cup of tea that is more bitter and difficult to swallow than Chinese medicine, he felt that his head was much more comfortable, at least the pain caused by the original extreme overdraft has disappeared, and even the feeling of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart has subsided a lot.

"Thank you, I'm much more comfortable now."

"Pay attention to your body, go back and have a good rest, you should be fine the next day."

The girl, who didn't ask what happened to the young man, said very thoughtfully, and took the teacup that Bai Ze had drunk and put it on the coffee table on the side.

As the president, the big road classmate does not like to talk and is not happy to socialize, and even her always expressionless gloomy face will make people can't help but stay away, but she is always very careful to find the needs of others, and never ask about other people's private affairs, but she has the respect and love of all members of this club.

At this moment, the sky is already dark, and it may not be long before even the school door will be locked, so Bai Ze naturally didn't dare to stay in the school any longer, and after saying goodbye to the big road classmates who seemed to be waiting for him to wake up in the club at the school gate, he walked home quickly with his bag.

Because the community where he lives is near the school, it only took him about ten minutes to get home, and he didn't waste much time on the road.

Originally, he thought that he would come home so late this time, and he would inevitably suffer a few beatings after the curfew time, but he didn't expect that his parents didn't know where he had gone except for his senior elementary school sister who was lying on the sofa watching TV entertainment.

"Brother, why did you come back? I'm starving! ”

After seeing Bai Ze appear, the girl who was still weak immediately jumped up, and shouted in a loud voice.

Looking at the clock that was already pointing to seven o'clock at the moment, Bai Ze was quite moved by his sister waiting for him to come back to eat together, but he felt even more guilty.

As soon as he thought of his little sister waiting for him to come back alone at home hungry, he felt an indescribable sourness in his heart, thinking that he really didn't hurt her in vain.

"Little sister, you don't have to wait for me in the future, just order a takeout by yourself."

Bai Ze, who put his schoolbag aside, walked to the refrigerator on the kitchen side of the conjoined living room as he admonished, and prepared to take out the cold drink that had been placed on the ice inside and take two sips.

"If you're not at home, I don't dare to call those delivery things, you know, what if those delivery guys see my beastly hair?"

Hearing his sister's retort that he didn't know whether it was more joking or more serious, Bai Ze could only smile bitterly and shake his head, not knowing how to respond to the other party's somewhat narcissistic rhetorical question.
