Chapter 188: The Mask Under the Mask

It turns out that in Yao Qianwen's world, trampling me under my feet is the most "perfect" picture.

What a boring person.

But compared to her, in fact, I am the same, right? I'm really annoyed, I always want to punish this girl, even in an illusory world, I have to make this girl understand that everything will not be so easy.

So I jumped out of the window.

The height of the eighth floor is enough for an ordinary person to fall to his death, and I am also an ordinary person in this world. Actually, I'm still curious about this question, but I have time to ask Du Youlan in the future, that is, if I die in this world, what will be the impact on reality?

Still, there's a chance.

Because at least this time, I'm not going to die.

Yao Qianwen exclaimed, "Hey, hey! Hey Uncle!! ”

Then she jumped down the stairs with me, spewing out her tentacles, wrapping around me, and then falling with me. Perhaps worried that I would be thrown to death, she blocked her body underneath and used her tentacles and feet to absorb the shock for me.

But I seized the opportunity, pressed her chin with my left hand, and the moment we both hit the ground, I pushed forward hard! The back of her head slammed to the ground!

Click!

The sound of broken bones, accompanied by Yao Qianwen's painful screams, echoed in the air, making me very comfortable.

I got up, moved my body, and then crouched down beside her, "Does it hurt, girl?" ”

"Bastard, I'll kill ......"

She opened her mouth to spit out her tentacles, and my eyes became indifferent, staring at her mouth, "You'd better manage those little strips of meat in your mouth, otherwise one will come out and I'll pull out one!" ”

"Hmm......" Her half-open mouth froze, and then slowly closed unwillingly, staring at me like that, her eyes full of resentment.

Her ideal world really trampled me underfoot.

But strangely, this girl just wants to crush me in all aspects, but she is not willing to kill me. With her ability, it is actually very difficult to control my body after alienation, at least I think so. But using enough power to kill an elephant to torture an ant, but being able to ensure that the ant will not really be seriously injured and die, shows that she really doesn't want this "ant" to die.

I didn't know why, but it wasn't the real world, so I jumped down the stairs.

And she really hit the plan.

She probably didn't jump off a building in this world, the first time she fell from a height, and she was bent on protecting my life, she would panic with no experience, and my only chance to defeat her would follow.

As for the landing, I was completely bluffing.

Pull out her mouth full of tentacles? I can't do it now.

"Silly? Tell me about the incident you just beat me up for, and give me some explanation. I reached out and pushed Yao Qianwen's head.

She clenched her fists in anger and pointed at her closed mouth.

"I'm talking about not spitting up your disgusting strips of meat, what's the matter, and the loss of speech function?"

"You're dumb! Not trustworthy at all! Obviously, we said it before...... It hurts......" Yao Qianwen rubbed the back of her head, got up little by little, and her body gradually returned to her human appearance.

"Say yes?"

"yes!"

"Say I'm going to be beaten by you? Why? ”

Yao Qianwen was stunned, "I don't know, anyway, we just talked about it two days ago......"

"Then why did you hit me?"

She continued to be stunned, "I ...... me I don't know, it's cool to be able to beat you anyway. What a strange feeling. ”

"Tell me, then, how did we meet?"

"Once climbing, we ...... No, it's not ......"

Speaking of which, the atmosphere between the two of us suddenly became strange. Everything is because of Yao Qianwen's expression, she went from initial resentment and dissatisfaction to confusion, and now her expression looks a little frightened, her thoughts seem to be fighting in her head, no matter how I call her, call her, she is stunned.

"Stupid?" I gave her a final push on the head.

"Ahh She suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong with you?" I held her head steady with both hands.

"I, I...... I remember, uncle! We're on board! Oh my God, what's going on, how did you wake up, how did you get here? I seem to have had a long dream, no, no, am I dreaming now, or was I dreaming before? ”

She, sober?

Is this what it means to get rid of the curse? No, according to Du Youlan's meaning, this can probably only be regarded as realizing that I am in an illusion, just like me, that is, the first step to get rid of the curse, and to completely get rid of this curse, the curse itself must be destroyed. In other words, she understands that the world in front of her is fake, but she still can't get out.

But why did she suddenly understand?

I fell into memories, and my mind was full of what Du Youlan had told me about curses, obsessions, confusion, rules...... If this is a "perfect world", then to make people aware of the falsehood of this world is to withdraw them from "perfection".

Just like Yao Qianwen.

She realized that she couldn't easily trample me under her feet, and the "perfect" setting in her mind collapsed, so she realized the falsehood of the world.

And if everyone is pulled out of this falsehood, the curse collapses.

So, that's why Du Youlan has to find everyone here in this world.

"Uncle, I remembered something." At this time, Yao Qianwen suddenly and eagerly tugged on me.

"What's wrong?" I wondered.

"Ugin Island!"

She said those three words out of the blue, and I don't know why.

"What Ugin Island? Why did you mention this all of a sudden? ”

"I, I remembered something, but it wasn't in reality...... her language was a little messy, and she seemed to have a headache, rubbed her head and thought for a long time, and then, suddenly, "This world ...... There is the existence of Ugin Island! That's where I was born! And I'm going to go back there eventually, oh no, it's the whole world, it's Ugin Island! ”

Her mind seemed to suddenly become confused.

Not only the spirit, but also her body, began to gradually appear after the alienation of the king worm, and they became uncontrollable.

"I ...... Who am I? Where am I? What is this place? She looked around blankly, but the alienation of her body did not stop in the slightest, and the part of her eyes that belonged to humanity gradually lost its luster, and was replaced by a fierce gaze like a beast.

"Oops......" I realized that something was wrong and wanted to dodge, but it was a little late, and Yao Qianwen's pair of tentacles had already wrapped around my body!

I tried to break free, but it tightened and tightened, and I felt like my body was about to be split in two!

But at this moment, a dark red shadow fell from the sky! slammed into Yao Qianwen's body, spurting blood-colored mucus from the worm's mouth, and Yao Qianwen let out a painful wail. And the red shadow took the opportunity to tear open the tentacles around my waist and pull me up, "Hurry up, she will recover soon, die in this world, and it is impossible to escape death in reality." ”

It was a woman's voice, so hoarse that it seemed like swallowing a whole bone.

"Who are you?" I asked.

But she didn't respond.

But under the dark red hood, I saw messy strands of hair, and a face full of twisted scars.

She took me on a quick run, shuttling through several neighborhoods and running a few more streets, and I suddenly realized that the world had become as if it were just the two of us, no cars, no pedestrians, and even the street lights were always off at night. On a dark street corner, she finally stopped.

She had her back to me, her red cloak and hood never removed. The only light here was the moonlight, and her shadow was stretched long by the moonlight, like a ghost.

"Is that you?" I asked.

"You know me?" She was surprised.

"I don't know, but we've met, at the noodle shop." I responded.

"......" She didn't respond, and she didn't turn around.

"You just saved me." I walked over to her.

"You want to say thank you?" She asked.

I shook my head, then walked around to her and confronted the distorted face under the hood, "I'm not going to say thanks, you didn't save me in vain." I'm thinking about three questions, and I think you should answer me. ”

"What's the problem?" But she pulled her hood and covered her face tightly.

"First, why do people die in this world, and their true selves on the outside will also die. Secondly, Who are you? In fact, I originally had three answers in mind about this question, but what happened just now made me remove one, and now there are two left, do you think I guessed right? Finally, I also want to ask you why you saved me, although I probably guessed this answer. ”

She smiled at me, her teeth were black and deformed, her eyes were cold and weird, just looking at this face, this look, I may never be able to correspond to which person I know in reality.

"You know, this is a space that exists to absorb the life force of time, death represents the end, and only by living naturally to old age can the full life force be transformed into the energy of the ship's sailing. Death is out, and your body dies on the outside. She answered my first question.

As for the second, she didn't rush to answer, but asked me, "Then who do you think I am?" ”

"At the beginning, there were three answers, Yao Qianwen, Du Youlan, and Mina."

"But you've seen all three."

"No, I've only seen one. In other words, there is only one person who I can be sure of as true consciousness. ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk here." I walked over to the bench on the street, sat there, beckoned to her, and continued, "Du Youlan told me that this is a 'perfect world', and that we have all fulfilled some of our desires in some way that we have not fulfilled in reality, but it is not necessarily Du Youlan who told me all this.

My desire is to know everything, so in this world to realize that it is false, and to know its rules, is fully valid. But I'm actually a greedy person, at least more greedy than most people think, and I want more than that, I want to have a right-hand man, a prophetic being, who can help me at all times. And Du Youlan, she played this role perfectly, so she may not be real.

Besides, Mina, does she want to be my girlfriend and live an ordinary life? I don't think so, at least from what I know of her, she shouldn't be limited to that. Of course, I never really knew her and didn't dare to judge what she really thought. But the way she is, to be honest, is what I wish I wanted the most, and I have said more than once that I love her and I would like to spend the rest of my life with her if I could. So is she real? Not necessarily true. ”

The woman nodded and muttered, "So, the only true consciousness you are sure of is Yao Qianwen." ”

"That's right, because no matter what, I'm not stupid enough to want a crazy girl who has copied my abilities and oppresses me every day to appear in my life." With that, I turned my gaze back to the woman, staring at the blood-colored hood that covered her entire face, "So, Du Youlan or Mina, who are you?" ”
