"Xia, Xia Mu?" Surya covered her mouth in surprise.

"No, no, no, I'm not anyone, I'm just the expectation of your heart." Xia Mu smiled: "This is an illusion, not an illusion, the reason why it is said is because its main body is indeed an element, a product of magic." And the reason why it isn't is because everything here comes from your heart, or your subconscious. ”

"My ...... Subconsciousness? ”

"That's right, the scene of running away from marriage at the beginning is the most volatile in your mood, so it is the initial scene. And then Loren and Rhine appeared one after another, because they represent different degrees of fear in your mind, and it is clear that the latter is far more terrifying than the former, but it seems to me that you only have disgust for the former, so the second test was passed quickly. ”

"Wait...... You mean the second test? ”

"That's right, at the beginning, it is the first way to recognize that scene, Loren is the second, and the battle with the Rhine is the third test, layer by layer, and finally it comes to the battle, but it does not necessarily end with the battle. After passing these three paths, the reward will be ushered in, and the concrete image of the reward will be played by the person who is closest to the heart. Xia Mu said with a smile.

"So, as you can see, the way I look is the expectation of your heart."

Surya frowned, and she pointed her sword at the other party without saying a word.

"How can I be sure you're not the fourth test? You've also said, 'Strictly speaking, it's not over yet. ’”

"Well, I can prove it."

Xia Mu smiled helplessly, the clothes on his body suddenly changed to a tuxedo, and there was a delicate rose on his chest.

He suddenly fell to one knee, took advantage of the momentum to raise the diamond ring that appeared in his hand at some point, and gazed at Surya with sincere eyes.

"Marry me, Miss Surya."

With a "bang", the long sword of courage fell directly to the ground.

"I knew it."

Xia Mu chuckled and stood up again, recovering his gray robe, and flicked the ashes lightly.

"Look, it's all from your subconscious, and the real reality isn't—"

"Shut up!" The girl suddenly blushed and shouted. "My subconscious can't speak!"

"As you wish." Shamu kept his mouth shut.

It was only after a while that Surya regained her composure.

"And what's the reward?"

"Uh......" Xia Mu thought for a moment. I'm afraid this won't be settled until everyone has finished the trial. ”

"Everyone? Are there a lot of people who participate in the trial? ”

"The total number of people in this trial is 24, which is the largest in the past, and the number of people who have completed the trial at present: 1."

“1？ Other words...... Only I did it? Surya was surprised. What about Shamu? Isn't he done yet? ”

"I can't recognize the character you're talking about, do you want to switch to a real scene?"

"Hmm...... Why do I feel like you speak a bit like Shamu? The girl was playing with her hair a little tangled. Well, it's rare for you to talk to me so well, so talk to me more. ”

"As you wish." Xia Mu nodded and clapped his hands gently.

The scene changed suddenly, and the two of them were instantly in the Morning Star's Warrior House.

"It's the best place for you to be alone with your subconscious." Xia Mu pulled out a chair for her with gentlemanly manners.

"Thank you."

Surya smiled and took her seat.

Once the two of them were seated, the table was filled with the most common afternoon tea set she remembers: soft chocolate truffle mousse, cappuccino with latte art and a rich aroma of coffee, a brightly colored fruit salad on the side, and a sandwich with emerald lettuce leaves and ham.

(Why should I code this chapter at 1 a.m.??) ）

"Feel free to enjoy, it's all fake anyway."

"Shut up, I didn't let you say that!"

"This sentence is more in line with the character's temperament."

Surya was immediately defeated.

She picked up Kabu and took a sip, and sure enough, it was as the other party said.

What a cruel truth.

The girl unconsciously stirred the coffee in her hand, looking out the window at the empty street, feeling that the illusion was as boring as the coffee she had just drunk.

"Why am I the first? Obviously, there are so many people who are better than me, but Xia Mu didn't pass the ......"

"The mood test has nothing to do with personal strength, it's about the difference in experience and the degree of inner firmness, and there are only two explanations for you to be the first to pass, either your character is very strong, or you haven't experienced too many setbacks and tribulations so far." Xia Mu patiently explained, "And the sooner or later it ends has nothing to do with the IQ highland, please rest assured." ”

"It's more perfect without the last sentence."

"This is a hint from your heart."

"All right...... "The girl tapped the rim of the cup with a spoon." In other words, my conversation with you is equivalent to talking to myself? ”

"You can understand it that way."

"What's the point of that, get out! I'm going back to the real world! ”

"You...... Are you sure? ”

Xia Mu looked at her with a strange expression.

After five seconds, the girl was defeated again.

"Well, I'll admit that was an angry remark."

However, she still has a little resentment in her heart, how powerful her subconscious is, and she actually simulated that guy vividly.

"Actually, it's not like talking to yourself." Xia Mu explains: "The character is built from plain data collection, and there may be many details that you don't notice, hidden in the depths of memory, so that there will be unexpected but thoughtful but reasonable answers. ”

"But you're not the real him......"

Hearing this, a faint smile flashed in Xia Mu's eyes.

"But in this moment, the character in front of you is indistinguishable from the real person. The only difference is that what you say and do doesn't have a follow-on effect. ”

"Aftermath?" Surya seemed a little confused. "What aftermath do you mean?"

"For example, you can beat me up to vent your anger, or even kill me, or do something to me that goes beyond friendship. None of this will bother the real characters after the test is over. Xia Mu had a polite smile on his face.

The girl's face flushed.

But succumbing to the premise that this is all from your subconscious, she can't argue with it.

"That'...... Can you change into that dress? Only...... Just now...... The one that proposes. ”

"As you wish, my lady."

Xia Mu stood up with a smile and bowed.

At that moment, a purple sword light pierced the air and pierced through his body.

The strange thing is that not a single drop of blood came out of the wound.

He looked up in surprise, only to see the girl in front of him staring coldly at him.

"Can you give me a reason?"

"Remember what I said when Lorain showed up?"

"Tea and black coffee?"

Surya nodded, and then said, "That's why I said you were a very lame illusion, and you said that it all came from my subconscious, and I didn't make that mistake in my subconscious. ”

"That'...... Why do you have to talk to me so much? ”

"It's boring."

Xia Mu suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

"So you pretended to be all that?"

"Not exactly, I don't want to mention how happy I am, but you know what, you made a mistake that was as unforgivable as he once was."

"What?"

"Confessing to a girl and proposing to a girl are not to be used as a joke. That bastard made this mistake and there won't be a second time, so you are very wrong to say that you are exactly the same as him at this moment. ”

Surya drew her sword and stared at her coldly.

"Okay."

Xia Mu spread his hands helplessly, his figure gradually dissipated from the bottom up, and the girl saw that his mouth was moving, as if to say something, but disappeared before he could make a sound.

Everything around them began to spin and twist, and soon became a white light.

The light dissipated, and Surya found herself back in the windswept firmament, with the beige branches hanging down from Imotru overhead, and a faint mist in the air.

She was in the auditorium of a huge arena, and as far as the eye could see, there were at least tens of thousands of seats neatly arranged. There were a lot of people standing in the room, but perhaps because she was standing too far away, they looked like they were the size of ants, and they weren't tightly distributed.

The arena is oval-shaped, but the inner court is circular, and the auditorium is raised from the inside to the outside, and there are four pillars at each of the four corners, which are carved with exquisite patterns.

Looking around, the girl focused her attention on the field.

"Isn't that Amather and Tina?"

Seeing the two of them wandering very close to the audience, she hurried over.

There was a difference of more than two meters between the seats in the bottom circle and the inside of the field, but this was not a problem for the gilded swordsman in the slightest. But just as she was about to leap down, an invisible barrier bounced her back.

"Hey, don't interfere with the venue!"

At the same time, a slightly familiar voice came.

Surya stood still and hurriedly looked around.

"Hey, hey, Piper-sama is here!"

The one-meter-and-five-meter skeleton was apparently ignored by Surya.

"It's you!?"

The girl hurriedly took a step back, she remembered that this was a very scary fellow.

"You're going to call me Piper-sama!"

Piper thrust his waist in anger, but because of his height and position, he looked somewhat funny.

So Sullya couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hey, hey, hey—"

Piper is anxious, but by the rules, he can't take a shot at the winner of the trial, the spectator.

Sullia finally stopped laughing, but he was amused again.

"Humph!"

Piper angrily folded his arms and vanished in a flash of white light.

"Huh? Feed! ”

This time it was her turn to shout the word.
