Xu Ke took a big step back and almost fell to the ground.

"When did I get recruited?" His face was very ugly at the moment.

"From the moment you set foot here." Lei Ruoya on the side said calmly.

An indescribable feeling of fear suddenly surged out of Xu Ke's heart.

From the first moment you set foot here, it's all a fantasy?

"So everything I've seen before, including the part where we walk on this staircase, isn't real?" Xu Ke's face was full of disbelief.

"I don't know exactly what happened to you, but I have to warn you—from your description, you saw me," Lei Ruoya said in a deep voice, "but I didn't come in with you at all. “

Xu Ke was taken aback, and then a scene that happened before entering here suddenly appeared from the depths of his mind—

"You guys go in first, I'm going to maintain the Holy Light Shield outside." At that time, Lei Ruoya said to herself with a serious expression.

This memory was extremely brief, and the recalled event had only happened recently, so when he realized the problem, this scene almost naturally jumped out of Xu Ke's mind!

But what is terrifying is that Xu Ke, who has a very clear memory at this moment, didn't think about it at all!

It's like...... This scene was deliberately shielded!

Recalling this scene, Xu Ke suddenly found a problem...... As far as memory can be kept, even if Lei Ruoya enters here, she should be behind herself!

But in the picture he saw before, Lei Ruoya was at the forefront of the team!

"Although I had long thought that this demon general's ability to manipulate the illusion was extraordinary, it was still a little tricky to be so powerful......" Lei Ruoya frowned.

"Miss Ruoya knows that this demon general has this ability?"

Lei Ruoya nodded and replied seriously: "Although there are not many records about demons in this continent, the 'Sleeping Demon General near Belia City' is a copy of the guide's clear reminder, and I still found some relevant information in the books. “

"Legend has it that the demonic general's name was Mammon, and to see him in his sleeping place, he needed to 'confront the original sin of human nature'—these are the words I found in a book."

Xu Ke frowned, and asked puzzledly, "What can such a sentence mean?" “

"Of course, such a sentence can't explain anything, but I went to find some information later," Lei Ruoya looked directly into Xu Ke's eyes and said slowly: "In the legends of the Azure Continent, there are seven demon generals in this world, named Lucifer, Mammon, Asimantis, Samel, Beelzebub, Leviathan, and Belial. “

Hearing these names, Xu Ke seemed to remember something, and his pupils shrank: "This is ......"

"The Seven Deadly Sins?"

"That's right," Lei Ruoya clapped her hands, affirming his thoughts, "The Seven Demons of the Seven Deadly Sins correspond to each other. “

"The Seven Demon Generals correspond to the Seven Great Demons in the legends of the ancient times in the outside world, and the boss of the copy we are in now, Mammon, represents the original sin 'greed'. Therefore, the meaning of the sentence is very clear - if you want to meet Mammon, you must first face the 'greed' in your heart. According to the conventional game routine, the setting of defeating greed corresponds to the fantasy flow. “

……

The yellowish light of the setting sun fell on Lei Yang's eyes, illuminating him in a trance.

As a young man, he was carrying his younger sister on his back in the sunset, and the sunlight stretched the shadows of the two of them for a long time.

"My brother is the best." My sister lies on her back and is coquettish.

"Ruoya, why do you always add an adult to the back when you call me?" I don't know why, Lei Yang subconsciously said this, and as soon as he said it, he felt that this scene seemed very familiar.

"Brother is an honorific title, and adults are also honorific titles, and of course my brother and adults are very respectful together." After saying this, Lei Ruoya gently patted her brother's head, "Stupid! “

"Oh," Lei Yang tilted his head, not knowing whether he understood his sister's explanation, "but Ruoya, you also know, I've been stupid since I was a child." “

"You're really bad luck for me." Lei Ruoya, who was still young, sighed, but then hugged her brother's neck tightly with both hands, and said softly: "But although you are a little stupid, brother, you are really good to me...... That's pretty good, isn't it? “

"Uh-huh." Lei Yang nodded, turned his head to the girl behind him and smiled and said, "Dad told me, you are my most important person, and I will do everything to protect it." “

The boy's smile was so bright in the setting sun that the girl couldn't help but be stunned, and then the red glow flew up her cheek, and she patted her brother's head again in shame.

"Ouch...... Ruoya, what are you doing with me always patting my head, I will become stupid if I am patted on the head! Lei Yang complained in pain.

"I didn't slap you on the head three times."

"Ruoya, what are you talking about......"

"It's nothing, it's just a meme."

Eight-year-old Lei Yang met the most important person in his life besides his parents.

Although she always complained that Lei Yang was too stupid, although she always said something that Lei Yang didn't understand, she was the one who Lei Yang was determined to do her best to protect.

Time passed quickly, Lei Yang grew up slowly, and Lei Ruoya became more and more beautiful. Lei Ruoya gradually has many more suitors around her, and she is still fourteen or fifteen years old, and she has to receive many confessions every day, and of course, she has to reject many people's confessions every day.

Among the suitors who were rejected by Lei Ruoya, there were many stalkers, and every time she encountered this kind of character, her sister would bring out her brother and let her brother beat them up.

Although his brother was still stupid at that time, he had been immersed in swordsmanship for many years, and even his father, who believed that his brother's qualifications were dull, had to admit that Lei Yang's strength at this time even surpassed that of himself at the same age.

Therefore, Lei Yang did fulfill his promise to protect his sister with all his might.

Until that day.

That day, Lei Yang and his sister huddled in a small, dark warehouse, hiding from the trackers behind them.

Lei Yang was covered in wounds, his clothes and skin were covered with countless fresh blood and dried blood stains, and he was obviously extremely injured. But he didn't have time to care about his injuries, so he only cared about holding his sister's petite body. My sister's eyes were closed, her good-looking brows were furrowed tightly, and her pretty pale face showed a struggling expression, as if she was experiencing great pain.

Blood was constantly oozing from the corners of her sister's mouth, and a huge knife mark suddenly appeared on her originally smooth back. The hideous wound stretched from her right shoulder to her left waist with her torn clothes, and the blood flowed out of the wound uncontrollably.

Lei Yang tore off his clothes and wanted to bandage his sister, but his hands trembled incessantly when bandaging, and he failed to do a good job of bandaging several times.

His sister's hot blood kept falling on his hands, and he looked at his shaking hands sluggishly, and found that both hands were bright red.

The scene in front of me suddenly began to blur, and little by little, the world around it faded and finally went dark.

In the darkness, Lei Yang could only see his blood-stained hands, which was proof that he had failed to protect his sister.

If his father hadn't arrived in time that day, he and his sister might have died there.

Although a long time has passed, the powerlessness and sadness I felt on that day have been deeply imprinted in my heart, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life.

"Sad?" A loud voice came from the darkness.

The voice is neither sad nor joyful, and no emotion can be heard, but it is inexplicably full of magnetism.

Lei Yang didn't answer, just looked at his hands blankly.

"Angry?"

"Are you unwilling?"

When I watched my sister get hurt, when my sister's life was in danger but I couldn't do anything about it.

Myself...... It's really unwilling.

Otherwise, how could there be tears?

Tears slid down Lei Yang's cheeks and landed on the ground without making the slightest sound.

……

"Since this demon general represents 'greed', then the original sin to be faced in the illusion must be 'greed'." Lei Ruoya thought about it carefully and said, "The moment you stepped into this staircase, you actually fell into his illusion, if you can't resist his temptation......"

Lei Ruoya glanced at Xu Ke, and Xu Ke suddenly had a thrill all over her body.

"I guess it's going to be like you just now, I think if you don't die if you fall from here, there shouldn't be anything good waiting for you below."

"So I'm out of the illusion now?" Xu Ke asked.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Lei Ruoya sneered, "You were forcibly pulled out of the illusion by me, and I don't think it's advisable to break the illusion by relying on external forces." Every step you take in this ghost place is likely to fall into the illusion, and if you don't have the ability to overcome the illusion by yourself, you will probably fall into it again if you take a few more steps. “

Hearing this, Xu Ke suddenly reacted to something, and then showed a ghostly expression:

"Miss Ruoya, how did you walk around here with ease!?"

"Hehe, have you been discovered?" The girl in front of her had a bright smile on her face, "Sure enough, it's the best quality in this batch." “

Xu Ke was frightened by the other party's expression, took a few steps back, pointed at Lei Ruoya with trembling fingers and shouted, "You are not Miss Ruoya!" “

"How could I not?" Lei Ruoya slowly walked towards Xu Ke, the smile on her face was still bright, but such a smile fell in Xu Ke's eyes, which made him shudder.

"I can be here...... Of course, it's because ......" When the girl said this, Xu Ke's pupils had almost shrunk to the size of a pinpoint!

"Of course, it's because of the prop 'Breaking Delusion Water' obtained by the owner of the raider pharmacy!"

Xu Ke was stunned when she heard the answer, and then looked at Lei Ruoya, the girl was looking at Xu Ke seriously at this time, and after the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Lei Ruoya hugged her stomach and leaned back and let out an exaggerated laugh: "Hahahahahahaha!! No, you let me laugh for a while! “

"Look, it scares you...... Hahahaha! “

"Why are you staring at me with wide eyes, haven't you seen a RMB player?!"

Seeing Lei Ruoya laughing so recklessly, Xu Ke breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss Ruoya is still in the mood to play with memes, she must be confident about this copy." “

"Of course I'm confident......" It took a long time for Lei Ruoya to straighten up, she wiped the tears from her laughter, and there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Even if you all hang up, we still have my brother." “

"Mr. Lei Yang, ...... him?"

Lei Ruoya stroked his palms and smiled: "Don't underestimate him, he is a man with the template of the protagonist." This kind of boss strategy battle should be the time for him to shine! “
