Back in the bedroom of the hospital, Li Ben's psychiatrist was the one who treated Zhu Hancheng, and he was talking to Li Ben with a notebook.

"How do you feel, are you feeling sick or irritable?" the doctor asked.

"Nothing, it's normal. Li Ben replied.

"Good. ”

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Yes. ”

"Why am I being characterized as insane, paranoid?"

"Well... Because that's how I've been judged before. The doctor said.

"Huh?" Li Ben felt that he had misheard.

"Because many mentally ill people don't realize that they are sick, you just think they are normal. Now let me ask you some questions, why did you kill Zhu Hancheng? What were you thinking at the time?"

"He's a terrible threat, he's able to keep an eye on me, and if I don't get rid of him immediately, my family and friends will be threatened. ”

"So you're killing?"

"Need another reason?"

"The second question is, have you ever thought that all this is just your delusion, and none of it is true. Or, how would you feel if it all was false?"

"Two possibilities, true or false. Really, I saved everyone, and falsely, I made a mistake and was willing to accept the punishment. ”

"You're gambling, putting everything you have on the table. ”

"I know. ”

"Would a normal person do that? Would a normal person have the guts to do it?"

"Is it because normal people don't do this, or because if you do, you will become abnormal?"

The doctor didn't speak, just wrote Lee's answer in the notebook.

"The third question, if you go back again, will you still kill him?"

Li Ben said without hesitation: "Yes." ”

"Fourth question, what would you have done if Zhu Hancheng hadn't said those words in your mind at that time?"

"Probably... Maybe... Maybe... I'm leaving, I don't know. ”

"Then do it again. ”

"What?"

The doctor snapped his fingers, the world collapsed and changed in an instant, and Li Ben opened his eyes, and in front of him was Zhu Hancheng, who was fishing for fish.

It's time for me to leave, and I've said everything I need to say. Li Ben thought.

He took a step, Zhu Hancheng looked at him from behind, and said, "Neurotic." ”

Li Ben paused and saw the large boulder at his feet.

He took a deep breath, spit it out again, and walked away.

Then, the world emerges like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, and Lee Ben returns to his bedroom in a mental hospital while recalling everything, including his experiences in the other world.

Your choices have proven that you are a normal person. ”

"So?"

"So you're different from me, if it were me, I'd still eradicate him to prevent future troubles. ”

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm sure you'll find out soon. But for now, I'm just a shadow giver to you. ”

Li Ben was in a trance, unable to understand what was going on.

"You've passed the test, you've got the answer, and I'm going to give you the qualification. ”

After the doctor finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, Li Ben collapsed on the bed uncontrollably, and felt that he was sinking, falling into a bottomless pit, and weightlessness surrounded him.

............

Flames beat in front of your eyes.

Lee Ben came back to his senses, and he was sitting in front of the campfire, with Beyotis beside him.

"How did it turn out?" Beitis asked him.

"What happened to me just now?"

"Three hours have passed since you were lost in thought, burning like a flame. I think you may have entered some kind of realm, so I didn't bother you, did you find the answer in the flames?"

"The answer... Ahh

"Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, who is dreaming!?" He is now in an extremely tangled situation, and it is a little difficult to distinguish between the illusion just now and the place he is in now, which one is the real world.

Beyotis saw Leeben's predicament, walked behind him, held his shoulders, and began to knead.

"Relax, meditate. ”

After a while, Li Ben finally calmed down, and he explained: "I have lived there for a long time, and it is a fantasy based on my memory world, everything is very real, and I don't feel the slightest falsehood. ”

"I see. However, the fire in front of us may not last long. Beyotis reminded.

"The answer, I've just thought of it. ”

Li Ben stretched out his right hand and put it on the ground, the back of his hand began to merge with the shadow, and when he picked it up again, his entire arm turned pure black, and his right arm was also missing from his figure on the ground.

Li Ben reached into the fire and made a grip, and the burning wood burned out in an instant, turning into fine ash powder, and all the energy turned into a pure white light point gathered together, and a lantern appeared in the void, which was grasped by the black hand.

"How?" asked Beyotis.

"If you want to grasp the light, you must know what darkness is, and you must have the awareness and ability to plunge yourself into darkness. Without evil, man does not know good. If this flame is the flame of hope, representing good, then the only way to grasp it is to represent the darkness of evil. Blind goodness cannot bear the weight of hope. That should be the answer to the puzzle here. ”

"Looks like you've been through a lot in the illusion. ”

Li Ben shook his head and said, "It's not much, it's just a multiple-choice question." ”

"What's next?"

"Stay within the reach of the light and walk around. ”

The two began to explore the dark world, and after a while, they were surprised to find the dark side, the stone brick wall that surrounded the place, and saw the spiral stone staircase built against the wall, so they found the starting point and climbed the ladder.

The slope of the stone staircase was very large, and Li Ben didn't know how long he had climbed and how high, but he saw a door at the end, so he pushed it in.

Behind the door is a whole new world.

After entering, the two looked back again, and the door was gone. The lantern in Li Ben's hand was also missing.

It's a dense rainforest terrain that doesn't lack light.

The humidity in the forest is heavy, and the various vegetation covers make people feel extremely hot, like entering a steamer.

A foul stench wafted through the air.

Beyotis immediately warned, "Be careful! it's the smell of rotting corpses!"

It's a monster that can be born from the corpse of any dead creature.,Unlike ordinary undead walking corpses.,They are a variety of corpse fragments spliced together.,The shape is indefinite.,Generally seen as the core of the biological fragment is that kind of.,If it's a humanoid creature core.,The rotting corpse demon will take on a humanoid state.,If it's a quadruped animal.,The rotting corpse demon will collect limbs for itself and splice them together.。

This monster emits a distinctive sour odor, similar to hydrogen sulfide.

Li Ben was also on guard.

In front of them on the left, there was a movement of the monster moving, but it did not come towards Li Ben and the others, but only passed by and did not appear.

After a few minutes, the stench faded, and Beyotis said, "Do you want us to solve this puzzle too?"

Lee Ben said, "I don't know. However, my guess is that we may have entered the base of the surface tower, and if so, we should find the staircase going up. ”

"Do you want to climb to the top?"

"We don't seem to have any other choice but to see if there will be a Magic Gate that can send us outside in the process."

Lee Ben and Beitis each climbed a tall tree to look out, grasp the general topography of the place, and plan their next route.

"There's a clearing to the east with buildings and buildings, and we're going to explore there. Li Ben proposed.

Beyotis has no objections.

When they reached the clearing, they saw a bearded dwarf striking black, and a sign hung on the house that read "Beer Blacksmith Shop".

To open a blacksmith shop in such a place? Who will the castings be sold to? Lee Ben and Beyotis looked at each other with the same doubts in their hearts.

In this world, dwarves are neither friendly nor hostile to humans.

Beyotis stepped forward to negotiate with him.

The dwarf stopped his work and said in a fluent human lingua franca, "Welcome to the beer smithy, is there anything you need?"

"We're from out of town and don't know this place very well, can you tell us about it?"

The dwarves did not show surprise at the arrival of the two humans, as if taking them for granted, and Beyotis was inconvenient to ask, although he had doubts about them.

"Well... Yes, but would you be interested in seeing my work first?" said the bearded dwarf, rubbing his hands.

"What do you have here?"

"Swords, armor, leather clothing, gloves... All the battle props that adventurers need, there are everything, even if they don't have them, they can also provide customized services on request. ”

The dwarves enthusiastically introduced their wares, bringing Lee Ben and Beyotis into his gallery.

They found that each of those swords and armor contained powerful chaotic energy, and in the human world, they could all be used as special equipment for high-level hunters.

"Oh, this is the Sword of the Storm, don't look at its ordinary appearance, as long as you light up the runes in it, when you swing it, it will set off a storm vortex on the surface of the sword, which can tear the monsters to pieces!"

"There is also this leather armor, which is made of the skin of three monsters, the surface layer is the strongest terrifying barbarian leather, the middle layer is woven from the fibers of the demon dryad, and a variety of rune runes are drawn on it with Mithril to resist energy-based magic attacks, and the last layer is a comfortable jumping sheepskin, with this leather armor, the adventure life of the two will become easy and comfortable. ”

The names of those monsters that the dwarves said, Beyotis had never heard of them, let alone Leeben, but that didn't affect their perception of the superiority of these equipment. If he had the chance, Beyotis would have taken all of this with him.

Unfortunately, now is not the time to think about this, and Beyotis asked, "How do you sell these equipment?"

"The Sword of the Storm only costs three hundred and fifty gold coins, and the leather armor only costs four hundred gold coins. The dwarf made a price.

"Is this the gold you are talking about?" Beyotis pulled out two gold coins from his pocket and showed them.

Li Ben recognized it as the gold coins that had fallen after killing the undead on the surface, and he had a few pieces with him, as well as a silver key dropped by the Death Knight.

"Ahh The dwarf said, staring straight at the gold coin.

"We don't want your gear, as long as you can answer a few questions from us, the gold coins are yours. Beyotis grabbed another handful, twenty in all.

"Uh... Alright!" said the dwarf, taking the coin in his large, rough hand, "as long as I know, I can tell you." ”

"What is this place?"

"The Pylof Forest, the favorite place for adventurers, danger and opportunity, hehe, I open a blacksmith shop here, and business should be good. ”

"How long have you been here?"

"I'll tell you the truth, I only came last month, but my casting skills have been passed down for a hundred years!"

"Are you the only one around here?"

"It would be nice if that were the case, but there are several blacksmith shops like mine in this forest, and to the north there is a witch's pharmacy, or further east from me, there is the inn hotel cluster where adventurers gather. ”

"What are you talking about as an adventurer?"

"Huh? Ah, you're asking what races they are, right? In our jurisdiction of Glow City, there is no such thing as racial discrimination, and whether you are a beast or a human, a spirit or an elemental, it is forbidden to fight each other, so you two can rest assured that you can go and stay. ”

"Glow City?"

"You two haven't even heard of the name of Glow City, have they? Could it be that they came from another continent? This is the most prosperous and prosperous multi-racial inclusive city in our Danying Continent. The dwarf looked at Beyotis and Liben suspiciously.

At this time, they were more puzzled than the dwarves, what kind of place had they come to?
