Du Youlan's voice was correct, and he mentioned Ugin Island again.

So at this moment I was completely sure that everything in front of me was illusory, and although I didn't know how the ship had led me into this illusion, I had to find a way to break it. I tried to feel the golden heart in my body, but like my ordinary identity in this illusion, I couldn't grasp it at all in the ocean of my consciousness.

It's as if it never existed.

"Huh? This is ......" Outside the bedroom, Mina's voice suddenly came from a puzzled voice, and then shouted, "Zoraku! You are at home?? ”

I walked out of the room.

She carried my shoes from the door.

"Aren't you on duty today?"

"I'm not on duty." I responded.

In fact, now that I know that all this is an illusion, I don't seem to have any interest in talking to the two fake figures in front of me. Oh yes, that Du Youlan is still wearing Yao Qianwen's face, maybe because I haven't really seen the appearance of her deity, and I've only seen the children's version, so it's inconvenient for me to fantasize.

"Why are you still looking sluggish?" Mina stretched out her hand and shook it in front of me, and then introduced to Du Youlan: "My boyfriend, Zora, you have seen the photo." ”

Du Youlan nodded, walked towards me, and looked at me.

The hallucinations had been established, and there was no point in continuing the conversation, so I prepared to leave and think of a way to save people. But before going out, he still habitually said to Mina: "I'll go out for a while, I may not come back tonight." ”

"Huh? What's wrong with you, weird, don't you even say hello to people? Mina looked at me in surprise.

I wasn't ready to explain, but when I was about to open the door, Du Youlan suddenly said, "It turns out that you also found out, and it really surprised me." It seems that my trust is right, if it is your words, there will always be a way, and it will always surprise me. ”

This dialogue is very strange.

Is it the dialogue I remember that affected this hallucination?

"What are you talking about?" Mina didn't understand at all.

I was also a little interested, the door opened halfway, and I turned to look at Du Youlan, "It seems that even if it is my hallucination, you are still unusual, and you are the same, surprise me." ”

"You...... Are you crazy? Took the wrong medicine, Zoraku?? Mina was completely stunned.

Du Youlan smiled and said something that I didn't understand at first glance, "This is not your illusion alone." ”

"What?"

"Don't think of me as you think I am. I am who I am, Du Youlan. ”

"I don't understand, it's not reality, I know."

"Yes, that's not reality, you know, I know, but she doesn't." As she spoke, Du Youlan looked at Mina.

"It's over...... Mina took out her phone, ready to dial, watching her fingers move, as if she was calling for an emergency call.

"Can you be clearer, I thought it was an illusion, and probably it was. But in my hallucinations, you say that you and Mina are real, why is that? ”

Du Youlan stuck to her fingertips, a trace of pale green powder floated out, and the place where the powder was covered, the space became distorted, "This is an illusion, but this illusion is not made by you alone, but a world created by the consciousness of all of us." ”

"Caused by this ship?"

"It should be, Zuo Yuan doesn't have this ability anyway."

She said Zuo Yuan, and I also remembered one thing, "Didn't you help me hold him back?" Why are you here, I remember, I slept in her bed. I turned to look at Mina.

She stared at the two of us blankly, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "You go on, I want to see what you guys are playing......

Fortunately, she didn't seem ready to bother me.

"Is it a waste of time to hold him back? That little guy was raised by me. ”

"So what?"

"So I put him to sleep too. Then I went to the basement, and the doors of those people were not locked, except for this one, which was locked, and I forced the door open, and I saw you both. But I didn't expect that woman to be pretended to be Mina, and she was more skilled in my disguise than me. ”

"What happened after that?" I'm more concerned about this issue.

"After that, I slept next to you, and then I came in."

But that's Du Youlan's explanation.

"So, why didn't you wake us up?" Mina asked.

This question made me and Du Youlan a little surprised when we were talking, I turned my head to look at Mina, and then at Du Youlan, "She's also real?" ”

Instead of answering my question, she went to ask Mina, "Are you conscious too?" ”

"No, it's just interesting to listen to what you said, and I just followed your words and asked a question." Then Mina walked to the kitchen, "I'll go get some drinks, you go on, go on." ”

"She's so receptive?" Du Youlan asked me.

"She's more nervous...... However, I wonder why you and I can realize that everything in front of us is unreal, not real, and Mina can't? ”

"I don't know about you, but I smell the 'smell' of the curse here, so I did something to myself in advance."

"Then can you do something to everyone here?"

"Yes, but it doesn't make sense, like you've recently entered this hallucination, aren't you also doubting the truth and falsehood of everything? Those people, who are not as determined as you, will gradually be swallowed up by illusory reality even if they are sober. "She's right, in fact, if Du Youlan here had changed her face, changed her voice, and didn't mention Ugin Island, I might have completely believed in the world in front of me, and began to suspect that everything before was a dream. So I don't dare to say it, I can only say that I am lucky.

But when it came to curses, I asked, "Mina said you were familiar with curses?" ”

"It's fine." She responded.

Mina brought two glasses of juice, one for each of her and Du Youlan, and I looked at her, "What about mine?" ”

"You treat me as a dummy, and you still want to drink my juice? Don't interrupt, you go on, what's the curse, tell me......" She was not only quick to accept, but even very interested.

This made me curious, and I forced the juice in her hand into my hand and took a sip, "Don't you think we're crazy?" ”

"I think, but if I keep yelling at you that you're crazy, you won't pay attention to me. Now, you're curious about me, aren't you? Then you can play with me. ”

"Are you Mina?" I began to wonder, "I think you're sick." ”

She snatched the juice back, "Don't ignore my question, what's the curse, Sister Lan?" Don't tell me it's just swearing, I can tell from your context that you're talking about something new! ”

Actually, I am also very concerned about this topic.

"You're a couple." Du Youlan held her cheeks, as if this was a difficult question to explain, thought for a moment, and responded: "You know, there are certain rules in this world, just like the more you want to win, the more you will lose; Fear something, and it will happen quickly; You didn't pay attention to it at first, and you got great results from a random business, and that's when you start to get serious, but you find that things are getting harder and harder. ”

"Does this have anything to do with the curse?" Mina was curious.

It doesn't seem to matter, what Du Youlan said seems to be a situation that is often encountered in life. And this situation is usually described by us in two words: unlucky.

Bad luck and curses seem to be related.

"So, curse is bad luck?" I asked.

Du Youlan rubbed her forehead, "You only see the appearance, and I'm talking about the rules." The curse is not about creating rules, but about using them, which seem to be nowhere to be found, but are actually in the laws of nature. But I know, you don't understand. To put it bluntly, doom is a power that the cursed uses to achieve a certain purpose, and the ship is cursed and devoured by the rules of doom. ”

Speaking of this, Du Youlan raised her right hand, looked at her nails, and turned her nails to me, "We entered here at the same time for a week, and the growth rate of nails is in line with the realistic rate. But we won't sleep on the ship for a week, so you and Mina will be fine, and the others will wake up hungry even if they are hungry. So, this is the only real thing in this illusory, doesn't this ship need energy to run, and the illusory thing will not give it power, so the only truth is the power it has to absorb. Consistent with our initial speculation, and Zuo Yuan's explanation, it is life force. The curse on the ship uses a timeline different from reality to absorb the life force of the cursed in the illusory world, and then corresponds to reality, and the cursed person will age rapidly. ”

"You...... Do you understand? Mina poked me.

"That's not the point."

"You don't understand, do you?"

"Why don't you pour another glass of juice?" I mentioned.

"Oh......" Mina picked up the cup and put it down again, "who is it called?" ”

So, I went to the kitchen.

Bringing back the juice, I asked Du Youlan, "So, sleeping in the basement for a few hours at a time is equivalent to doubling the life force of this ship." But after that, for some reason you won't remember your previous dreams, right? ”

Du Youlan nodded, "I guess that's probably the case, but I don't know how long the three or four hours of sleep in the outside world will correspond to in this world." ”

"Then I have an idea, but I always think it's too simple, you listen, whether it's feasible. In terms of vitality, the king insect should be far longer than humans, it is difficult to say for thousands of years, and it should not be difficult for hundreds of years. So can you let these innocent people no longer enter the basement, and I can replace them as an energy source? ”

"Fool, you think you can just change the bed? Forgot what Zuo Yuan said, leaving this ship will age quickly? I want to give my life force, not only to sleep in a bed in the basement, nor to sleep in a different place, and the person who was previously cursed will be liberated by a curse. ”

"Then it seems that we can only find a way here."

Du Youlan looked at me with a smile, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Like Mina just asked you, why didn't you wake us up? If the solution isn't here, why should you come in? I looked around, at everything I was familiar with, and continued, "So, you probably think that only in this illusory world can some people be completely cut off from the curse, right? ”
