"I'll go, this trick is too yin! So, what the hell is that thing you're talking about? That's terrible, isn't it? Zhang Qiang couldn't help but shudder and complained.

I glanced at Zhang Qiang, then looked at Mina: "If my guess is correct, you should have been forced to return to the institute again for this reason, right?" ”

"That's right. In many of the clues that followed, I understood that it was all a conspiracy of that thing. Because from the very beginning, it wanted to control me, to make me permanently available to it. It certainly wouldn't allow me to leave the institute so easily, and that's when I finally realized that I had been completely deceived by it. It's not easy to find a body that fits, so even if I don't want to work with it anymore, for my own sake, I have to regularly return to the True Demon system to help it achieve its purpose. Mina looked at the three of us again: "Originally, although I hated the thing that restricted me, after all, every once in a while I can still use the body I find to feel the real world. Among those brought in by the 'True Demon', I have witnessed too much ugliness and darkness. You know, as long as you enter the virtual world, anyone is transparent to me. The deepest secrets of all of them, the darkest places in their hearts, their thoughts and thoughts cannot escape my eyes. So, I created their own nightmare world for countless people and pulled them into the darkest abyss at the end. Thanks to them, I have witnessed so many ugly things about humanity, and they are no less than what I have experienced myself. Later, I became numb, and even at some point, I thought that the 'true demons' had pulled these human dregs into my world, and I had worn out their will, which was actually a matter of eliminating harm for the people. At this, Mina burst out laughing without warning.

After laughing for a long time, she finally stopped.

Turning her head, Mina looked at me with those deep eyes: "However, after you appeared, I changed my mind. ”

"We? We...... What's different? "I was a little surprised to hear Mina say that.

"yes, I don't feel it, there's any difference between us." Zhang Qiang scratched his head, also looking confused.

"Don't you notice that you're a little different from the rest of the team?" Mina tilted her head to look at him, "Before I met you, the people who were sent into the world I created by the 'True Demon' were really ugly. Killing, blood, violence, fellow deceiving each other, and destroying everything good in order to survive. I know that this is probably the truest form of human nature, at least that's what I've always thought before. However, I was a little surprised when you entered the world of illusions I had created, and my thoughts slowly changed at that time. Perhaps, you yourself are not aware of this. But I do see in you a shining light that is different from the others. The trust between your team members, the bond and camaraderie between you, including the spirit of sacrificing each other for your teammates, I read from your memories. ”

"That's why you don't plan to be our enemy?" My eyes twitched, and I seemed to understand what Mina meant.

It was precisely because she was used to seeing other teams' deceit, intrigues, and killings each other in the past, that Mina was particularly surprised when she read the memories of the six of us.

"Yes. In particular, neither the three of you, nor the other three members of your team, when you were trapped in the illusion world I created, did not kill the other members as ruthlessly as the other teams did in order to keep themselves alive. As she spoke, Mina looked at me with a hint of admiration in her eyes: "Especially you." You know, no matter how powerful the characters are in the real world, when they come to my world, they are all led by my hallucinations and kill their companions. But in that case, you were able to control the murderous urge I implanted, and just give him medicine. That's when I made my decision. That is, I will not be an enemy of people like you. ”

Zhao Qiqi's eyes rolled when he heard this: "No wonder." In fact, with your strength in the world of illusions, we are no match for you at all. But you gave us a lot of opportunities, and even seemed to be irrational to take the painting Gao Wei gave you. Because even if you are just an ordinary person, you can guess that there must be something wrong with that painting after a little thought, but you did not hesitate to take it. At that time, I was skeptical, in fact, you don't really want to be our enemy at all. ”

Zhang Qiang suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Qiqi: "What?" That is, you already guessed it from the beginning? ”

I glanced at Zhang Qiang, and then looked at Mina again, with a hint of gratitude in my eyes: "Actually, when the three of us broke the world created by Mina so easily, I also had a trace of doubt in my heart, after all, it was too easy. Now that I think about it, she actually deliberately released the water. ”

Realizing this, I completely removed the last bit of guard against her.

But on second thought, I seem to have noticed something wrong.

"Hey, you're deliberately letting us go now, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the 'True Demon' and the mysterious power behind it?" Looking at Mina, I looked worried.

Mina smiled wryly and shrugged: "You can rest assured for the time being." Because the speed of time here is not the same as outside. This place is like a temporary shelter set up by me, and the illusions created outside should be able to confuse the 'true demon' for a while. However, you can't stay here for too long, because after a long time, it will surely notice that something is wrong. Hey......"

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Mina's expression was getting more and more sad, as if she was thinking about something, I asked with concern.

"Nothing." Mina just shook her head, and spoke to us in a much more amiable tone.

Zhao Qiqi looked at Mina, and suddenly spoke: "By the way, what about the other three companions in our team?" We have not received a hint from the 'True Demons' that they are not dead, where are they now? ”

"They're there!" Mina reached out to the wall in front of her.

With the sound of electricity, the wall slowly opened.

Then, Wang Yi, Du Deming, and Situ Cao appeared in front of our eyes.

At this point, they were fastened to a white chair with a metal buckle that was identical to the chair we had seen in the white room before.

Click, click~

After a few metallic sounds, the three of them regained their freedom.

After Wang Yi and the three of them glanced at each other, they quickly got up and ran towards our position.
