In this narrow ventilation duct -

The green gas could erupt at any moment, but Lloyd seemed to be fixed there.

"Lloyd!" Catou crouched beside Lloyd and called softly, for fear that the excessive decibel would disturb Lloyd's spirit, and the light of the crystal skull shone strangely.

Although Lloyd could hear Kathu's voice at this time, his eyelids seemed to be glued and he couldn't open them, not only to fight against the hypnotic anchor set by Haiwei, but also to constantly feel that another powerful aura from the outside world was interfering.

Lloyd was already sweating profusely, and the figures of Yi Xue and Qiu Min kept flashing in his mind, the distance between the two women was very far away, and he could only vaguely recognize the two of them through the vague outline. But Lloyd is very clear that Qiu Min only appeared after fighting the evil hypnotist Haiwei, which means that it stands to reason that Qiu Min should not belong to the scope of the heart anchor explosion.

So the Qiu Min that appears in my mind now is not an illusion created by hypnosis? Lloyd tried to build a bridge with the subconscious again, there were too many things that happened during this time, and there were many changes, maybe there were too many inadvertent things that had been deposited in the bottom of the heart, and negative hypnosis was to make these sediments in the bottom of the heart messed up, making a mess, at least insane, the difference between reality and fiction was unclear, and at worst self-destructive.

A sun-like circle of light finally appeared in Lloyd's mind, and Lloyd controlled his consciousness into this aperture, and at this time, the cold air on his hands and feet that felt as if he was covered was lifted open, and his hands and feet felt that the temperature had recovered.

In the aperture, Lloyd vaguely saw a person, or rather, no person......

It's the crystal skull! But I couldn't see it in its entirety, like a faint light barely shining through the fog.

The crystal skull in my mind, which I couldn't see clearly, flickered intermittently like a spotlight on a lighthouse, conveying a faint light of some kind of signal.

Friend or foe?! Is it good or bad!? Lloyd did not dare to explore these rays in depth, because self-hypnosis is a very dangerous behavior, once out of control, he will not wake up, and even if he does, he will fall into the dilemma of confusion between fantasy and reality.

But Lloyd felt a kind of strength from the light, but also a coldness. Lloyd tried to leave the range of the light, but he was tightly encircled inside, and his body in the illusion was firmly fixed there, unable to move.

Katu saw that Lloyd's expression was complicated, but his fingers were trembling slightly, and it seemed that he couldn't get out of the illusion, so Katu put the crystal skull aside and grabbed the famous knife Murayu.

When the crystal skull was set aside and there was a little distance from Lloyd, the light in Lloyd's illusion weakened, and Lloyd was able to control his body in the illusion with his consciousness.

Kathu used the famous knife Murayu to cut an extremely shallow wound on Lloyd's little finger, and blood oozed from the finger.

Lloyd felt a pinprick in his finger in the illusion, and when he raised his finger, his finger was red with blood. Lloyd smiled in the illusion, feeling that Kathu was really getting more and more reliable!

Lloyd in the illusion, with the blood on his fingers, a door appeared behind him, and when it opened, it sucked Lloyd into it like a black hole, and Lloyd smiled evilly and waved goodbye to the blurred crystal skull in the illusion.

In the last scene of the illusion, the crystal skull was still desperately flashing with a strange light, as if it was desperate to convey some message.

"Whew!" Lloyd opened his eyes and gasped for air, almost unable to get out.

"The next time you do these things, can you tell me ahead of time? Otherwise, I don't even know what to do, but fortunately I've read it in a book before, how to urgently relieve self-hypnotic people. Out of nowhere, Kathu pulled out a Band-Aid and handed it to Lloyd.

"The content of the book may not be comprehensive, but I am lucky to be blinded by you!" Lloyd took the Band-Aid and applied it to the wound on his finger.

As it was attached, Lloyd looked at Kathu curiously and asked, "Why do you still have a Band-Aid?!" ”

"It's not mine. It's Towngsen's. Kathu said lightly.

"And what did his Band-Aid do for you?" Lloyd didn't know that Townsend had such a gadget in his equipment, and he gave it to Kathu, what was his intention?

"He said that when he came out on an adventure, he had to bring a Band-Aid." Kathu shrugged his shoulders.

"If it's really hurt, you look like that VX-250 just now, and those heavy mechanical killers, if they want to be slashed by them, where can this be a band-aid or super glue that can be sewn back?! Townsend this guy. Lloyd raised his finger and looked at the Band-Aid on his finger.

"No, he said that the Band-Aid has this effect on psychodynamics." Kathu said seriously.

Seeing Catou talking about the Band-Aid so seriously, it made Lloyd very curious about the deeper level of use of this Band-Aid, and even the role of psychological dynamics.

"Come, tell me, what's the use of a band-aid? Did this guy Townsend come up with something!? Lloyd asked, looking at Kathu.

He said...... Adventurers put the band-aid on their face to have a professional feeling, which can stimulate the spirit of adventure. Kathu shrugged his shoulders again and shook his head.

"This 24K pure second goods...... I was really defeated by him! However, this Band-Aid also comes in handy. Lloyd, who had just brought up the excitement, thought it was a disappointment, but it was really useful to stick it on his injured finger.

"Hurry up and tie this crystal skull and wrap it thickly. I said what's the matter, it turns out that you loosened several layers of cloth! This thing may have radiation and can change people's brain waves! Lloyd said, staring at the faintly glowing crystal skull.

Kathu tied it tightly with three strokes and five divisions, and the ventilation duct became even darker.

"Lloyd, what do you think?" Kathu asked Lloyd as he lifted the wrapped crystal skull.

Lloyd listened sideways, the sound of a sandstorm rolling in the desert, resounding from far and near in the ventilation ducts......

Lloyd's face changed, he picked up the famous knife Murayu, and shouted: "Hurry up!" ”

"I don't seem to see a vent in front of me that can get out, and it seems that there is still some distance away! Are we in time? "The speed at which Kathu's figure squatted in this pipe is obviously not comparable to running on the ground.

"Life is a gamble, I bet that the front will not be a dead end!" Lloyd said confidently, and he was also squatting forward quickly.

Catou followed behind Lloyd, listening to Lloyd's confident tone, which didn't feel like a gamble at all. Katu followed, smiling slightly, since he was a child, in addition to the curator who nurtured and cultivated the grace that could make him feel admired and respected, there had never been a second person who could make him admire.

And now Lloyd's back crouching forward makes Kathu feel that the second person he can admire is in front of him!
