The sun sets and rises, and a new day begins. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chu Ming originally planned to judge and pursue the contestants in front of him based on the footprints on the ground and some traces of human activities, but obviously underestimated their IQ, and the three people in front not only covered up the original traces, but even deliberately created fake traces, in order to lead the people behind them into the trap.
After dodging a few traps, he glanced up at his surroundings, and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of disobedience, it was still a misty forest, and he couldn't see the direction of the road ahead, but there was a slight difference from before, if it wasn't for his sensitivity, he would never have noticed this change.
His face froze, he thought of some possibility, stretched out a white palm to touch a big tree in front of him, the rough bark touch came from the palm, did not stop there, but with a slight force in his hand, he saw that the palm of the hand passed through the big tree, like a hole through a layer of illusory water, the moment he withdrew his hand, there was a magical change in front of his eyes, only to see that the wound of the big tree with a small hole was immediately healed, as if nothing had changed.
Chu Ming carefully reflected on the feeling just now, this tree was not a real thing, nor was it a special variety, and it did not have a strange self-healing ability, so all this in front of him was explained: he accidentally fell into the phantom array.
The phantom array is known as one of the most troublesome and difficult to crack formations, its biggest feature is that it will peek into people's hearts, see what is hidden in the depths of the soul, and set up different scenes according to the experience of different people to confuse the objects caught in the formation, some are just used for siege and imprisonment, while others are used for killing, making people feel real despair, and finally achieve their own goal of killing themselves.
If you want to crack the phantom array, the most important thing is to face your heart, Chu Ming did not summon the black skeleton, nor did he use the Five Elements Skeleton Array, but sat cross-legged on the ground, and then closed his eyes.
The fog lifted, and he found himself in a familiar house, and the next moment he saw a little boy of four or five years old, whose little face was wet with tears, like a homeless little cat, curled up in the corner of the room, holding his thighs and sobbing with his head down, but he didn't dare to make too much noise, and not far ahead, a man in a suit and leather shoes opened the door and was about to go out, when a woman with messy hair rushed over and had a violent quarrel with the man, After that, he moved his hand, the woman was invincible, she was thrown to the ground, the man grabbed the door, and never appeared again.
The scene in front of them changed again, the little boy and the woman quickly moved out of the original house and lived in a dilapidated house, the room was very small, there was no bathroom, the little boy and the woman were huddled together, cooking and sleeping, and the two began to live a life of dependence here.
A few years later, when it was time for the little boy to go to school, the woman worked three jobs outside alone, and finally raised all the tuition, but missed the time to sign up, and could only ask for people everywhere, the pair of indifferent and contemptuous eyes were deeply engraved in the little boy's mind, and finally met a kind teacher, the little boy began to attend classes in this small number of remote schools, because of his excellent grades, he got the relief of others, and was recommended to go to the county to attend primary school, and then the little boy grew up day by day, although his academic performance was excellent, But he is not good at interacting with others, and is even misunderstood by others, and is jointly excluded by all his classmates in the most serious time.
Soon to the age of junior high school, the little boy still does not get along with people, but he is much smarter than in the past, he will often use some special methods to make himself appear not so lonely in the class, in the eyes of others, he is just a good grade, odd temper guy, but no one because of the unpleasant look at him, encourage others to isolate him.
The three years of junior high school were spent safely, during this time in addition to studying, he also found a way to make money, at first he just saw an essay on a shabby magazine that others didn't want, he spent half a day writing a few hundred words and mailed it over, two weeks later he got the first manuscript fee, and then more and more contact, began to be invited by the publishing house, and then posted on the Internet, although no one in the school knew that he wrote a book, but the pen name he used became more and more famous day by day, Until one day all the arrears of the family were repaid, and then bought a big house, and moved in with his mother, and then life became better and better, and even made a few friends, but there is always a sense of loneliness in the depths of his heart, he likes to stand on a high place, looking at the bright stars in the sky, likes to be alone, and is still the little boy who doesn't like to be in a crowded place.
Everything in the past is like a slide flashing, Chu Ming seems to hear the voice of the little boy secretly crying when his mother is not paying attention, as if he sees a lonely figure who looks at the empty street in front of the door and doesn't know what he is thinking, and the ugly faces that have cursed and excluded him in the past appear in front of him, and the adults who are indifferent and say cruel and hurtful words, if someone sees the young man sitting on the ground at this time, he will definitely be able to find that on the slightly green and delicate face, it has always been the ancient well without waves and plain as water, But at this time, his face was hideous, like a vengeful demon crawling out of hell.
"I thought I had forgotten these things a long time ago, but I didn't expect that because of the cowardice of the past, they were deliberately sealed in the depths of memory, and these unbearable pains suddenly came to my heart, and it was really uncomfortable, so painful that I wanted to die." Chu Ming whispered these words, as if he was conducting some kind of judgment, "Then, the function of this phantom array is to make people recall the things they least want to think about, by killing all the hopes of a person, leaving only infinite despair, so that the people in the array can't stand the pain and torture of the past, and then cut themselves off." ”
The figure sitting on the ground, the hideous and terrifying face regained its calm, and even the original trace of greenness seemed to have disappeared completely, as if the whole person had grown up a lot at once.
"In the past, I was very timid, I always felt like a lonely boat in the sea that could die at any time, and I had no strength to protect myself and the people around me, but being timid and afraid to face it are two different things, and now I am still very timid, I know more than in the past, so I am more timid than in the past, but whether it is a desperate predicament, or a powerful and invincible enemy, maybe I will die tomorrow, and now I will not choose to escape, but will face it."
The images of the past dissipated one by one, as if the little boy could be seen showing a cheerful smile, a tear sliding down Chu Ming's cheek, and then he opened his eyes and stood up.
The surrounding environment suddenly changed, the big trees disappeared, the diffuse fog did not completely dissipate, but it was much thinner, and the road leading to the front was no longer a secret, but visible to the naked eye.
