Chapter 237: Obsession
Continue to walk forward, surrounded by the sea of flowers.
Occasionally I was able to smell the smell of insects, or snakes. But this time it's really too faint for people to tell whether it's real or illusory. Or, the next level, my obsession.
Regarding obsession, based on what I know about myself, I think the next picture I see will probably be the same as the previous level. I am afraid that I am not myself, I am afraid of being occupied and manipulated by others, and at the same time, this fear has become my obsession, and I want to get rid of it and find ways to change.
That's why I'm obsessed with power, and I do a lot of things for it.
Just thinking about it, I thought of the silent night......
So, these are my obsessions, right?
"Do you see anything?" I asked Du Youlan next to me, because we had been gone for too long.
Du Youlan shook her head, "Not yet, but I know what I'll see." So I'm not sure where I am now. β
As she spoke, her eyes kept staring ahead, and she was looking at Bai Wuji.
Is that her obsession?
Perhaps, people should know themselves.
So, I kept walking.
Floral, getting stronger.
The scent made me feel so comfortable that I gradually forgot the tiredness of the journey. There is still the sound of the wind in my ears, gentle like hands. But suddenly, the wind became harsh!
It's like an explosion in my ears!
"Ugh!" I subconsciously covered my ears, nervous, and closed my eyes by the way.
But I shouldn't have closed my eyes.
The moment I opened my eyes, the world changed, and the flowers were still there, but they were accompanied by fog. It's fog again, and I don't like the feeling of not being able to see clearly.
Du Youlan around me disappeared again, and in the vast sea of flowers, only I was left.
"I don't know who I'll see again, what to do this time? Admit that you are not yourself? It's a boring test. β
However, I never saw anyone.
It's just the sound in the ears, which is getting more and more complicated, and at first it is just the sound of the wind. I don't know when it started, I faintly heard some laughter in the wind, and I laughed happily, and the laughter made me feel very relieved.
That part of the road was really comfortable.
This laughter, there are men, women, old and children, they convey a warm power to me, like light in the night.
I was enjoying it, but in the midst of this laughter, I broke into crying.
It appeared suddenly, mingling with the sound, and it was clearer because they were all laughing.
I panicked, panicked inexplicably, I wanted to find it, I wanted to know why it was crying, I wanted to make it laugh. I looked around, but there was nothing in the sea of mist and flowers. The crying became more and more frightening, gradually leveling with the laughter, and my heart seemed to be torn apart, and I couldn't accept the cry.
But it grew more and more, gradually engulfing the laughter.
Then from all the crying, there was a trace of laughter again, laughter and crying were equal, and they all became laughter again.
Over and over again, endlessly.
I stopped, surrounded by the sounds, which were getting closer and closer to me.
I've never been so powerless that I got down on one knee and could only try to hold on to my head. But in fact, I don't understand what's wrong with me, why is this crying and laughter making me so miserable? What does this have to do with my obsession?
"I don't know what it's like to cry when I laugh, and I forget all my laughter when I cry. I want to cry when I laugh, and I want to laugh when I cry. β
"Crying and laughing become pain."
"Your hands aren't long enough......"
In my memory, the sudden appearance of the content made my pain briefly relieved.
I seem to have something in mind, but what is it?
ββ¦β¦ No, you can't stop, you can't be curious, you can't have any emotions, just move forward. This time, there is no choice, it is the right choice. β
I stood up again, and with a wry laugh, I struggled forward.
Until everything dissipated, the sea of flowers and sounds, all disappeared, and I vaguely saw a few figures, they appeared beside me, it was Du Youlan and them.
This time, we still have boxes in front of us.
But the difference is that this time, my box is very small, and it's more like a gift box with rings.
What's inside?
I'm concerned, but ......
"What's the matter, I've been in a daze." Du Youlan came to my side and looked at the box curiously, "Your 'obsession', that's it?" β
"Huh? Hmmm......"
"What are you 'um'? Absent-minded. β
The memory I just remembered was still repeating itself in my mind, but I never understood what it meant. So I immediately turned my gaze to Du Youlan, "I, I saw something very strange, no, to be precise, I heard it." But that is not the same obsession I imagined. β
"Oh? Would you mind speaking out then? β
"It's the voices, the cries and the laughter, that devour each other, keep appearing and make me irritable. I would love to find them, but I didn't, and I thought if I did, I wouldn't have seen the box. β
For me, it was a difficult question to figure out, but it didn't make Du Youlan feel so weird.
She picked up my box with a smirk, "Crying, laughing, and trying to find them aren't really important. Your obsession is what exactly you want to do when you find them. Don't you know yourself, why did you find the source of those bitter laughs? β
Oh, yes.
Why?
"If you really don't have an answer, why don't you just open this box, maybe you can see it, and you will understand." So, she handed me the box again.
I took it, but I didn't open it.
Just put it back in its place.
"Why?" Du Youlan asked.
"I don't know, but I think if I open the box, I probably won't be able to control my emotions and want to take the contents of the box. In that case, it will stop there, and it can't stop yet, so it can't be opened. β
"You're so unconfident in yourself?"
I shook my head and smiled helplessly, "This just shows that I am too confident in myself." β
We continued walking, and this time, Du Youlan's box was still not opened.
Actually, we're the same.
"The next level is actually very strange." Before starting the fourth level, Forty-Two reorganized his strategy, "Before, as long as you don't choose what you really think in your heart, you can win." But at the threshold of life and death, neither can be chosen. β
With these words, our team temporarily stopped moving forward.
Bai Wuji was curious, "You can't choose life and death, so is there any other choice?" β
"It's hard to explain, you want to live, it's easy to understand. But death, not everyone has experienced life is better than death. Escaping death is the truest thought in our hearts, but at this level, it is wrong for you to go to life, and it is also wrong to go to death. β
"Isn't that inexplicable? Just say it, brother, how do you get through? Bai Wuji's question was very direct.
"There is no death, no life. At this level, you either think of yourself as a human being, or in other words, you don't think of yourself as anything. You should imagine what the world would be like when you weren't there. i.e. before you are born, after you die. β
Forty-two is very mysterious.
But I don't think any normal person can easily understand that feeling.
So when he was about to continue walking, Bai Wuji was very hesitant, he was worried that he would not be able to pass the level, and he would have to pass the level.
"Actually, you don't need to worry so much, there are some things that you don't need to understand. Just like some people are full of evil, but they can also say that the head of the good is the way. Everyone understands the truth, and it may not be able to do it, but it must be said. This level is not difficult, but the difficulty is not to open the box after passing the level. "I'd like to give Mowgli a hint.
"Big brother, I understand the first half of what you say, and I don't understand the second half either."
"Then it's simple, didn't you just want to single out that general? I won't stop you this time, just use your way to get through this level. β
"Is it the same thing?"
I nodded, "One thing." If I can make it, we'll see you at the next level. Aren't you still going to help Silent Night? β
"Got it......"
Keep going.
It was still Du Youlan and I who walked last.
We didn't speak this time, or rather, she was vague at some point before I could speak.
This time, everything is disappearing.
My body became extremely tired, as if I was about to faint, or rather, I had fainted, and I was slowly waking up.
Before I could open my eyes, I could smell the smell of green grass in the mountains. There's also a smell of moisture.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a cavern, and there was light at the entrance to the cave, but the light seemed too dazzling to me when I had just woken up. It wasn't until the appearance of a figure that the light was blocked out a little, and it eased somewhat. She slowly wanted me to get closer, crouched in front of me, and asked softly, "Are you awake?" β
It's a girl's voice, some sweet.
"Who?" I tried to get my vision back up, and her appearance became clearer.
It was a dirty girl, about eighteen or nineteen years old, smiling cutely and looking at me curiously. I should have never met her before, but I somehow felt a little familiar.
"Who are you?" So I asked again.
"I ...... Me? I am the fox on this mountain, my name is Su ...... Only ......"
Fox?
Su Wei?
It's really a clichΓ©d vixen name.
I don't know what this girl is, but in my eyes, she also has "poison" on her, but it is not insect venom or snake man.
"You just fainted at the bottom of the mountain, I saved you!" She started talking to me.
And the chatter.
"Can you tell me where you're from? I've been stuck in the mountains for a long time and I can't get down......"
"Huh? Why don't you speak? β
"I heard that saying that I am a fox will scare others, so is it too late for me to change it?"
"Hey, ......"
I raised my hand and blocked her mouth, "You give me a quiet moment." β
I stood up against the rock wall and walked towards the exit of Shandong, the dazzling sunlight gradually became accustomed to me, and I could clearly see the mountains and trees outside the cave.
They are so real that they don't look like hallucinations at all.
"Hey, you, are you leaving? Then can you take me with you, see that you are dressed like a Taoist, Taoists are very powerful! You should be able to help me get down the mountain, right? β
I looked back at her expectant face, and then at my own body.
It turned out to be a simple robe.
"What is this, isn't it life and death? What the hell is going on? β
β¦β¦
