Zhuo Xuan stood in place like a statue, he looked at the emotional girl in front of him in a daze, opened his mouth, but did not immediately respond to her words, but realized something, and looked around.

Fang Ting.

Where is Fang Ting?

There was no more figure of the quiet girl, nor was there a beast in red clothes floating in the air, they were like hallucinations, and as Zhuo Xuan woke up from his dream, everything dissipated without a trace.

Alice didn't seem to notice Zhuo Xuan's strange appearance, and just said to herself: "I don't know what's going on, the beast is gone." It's like a burning offering, oh, you call it Qingming Hanging here. Its body shattered little by little, and finally disappeared from sight for no reason. You were still unconscious at that time......"

In that illusion constructed by the eye of nightmares, Zhuo Xuan had seen the appearance of the beast with his own eyes. It was not dressed in red like what Alice and the others saw, but it was very similar to Fang Ting's childhood.

The Nightmare Eye allows the host Chosen One to enter the other's spirit world.

In other words, on the surface, that beast looked the same as Zhuo Xuan when he was a child, but in fact, its spiritual projection turned out to be Fang Ting herself. Thinking of what Fang Ting said, "It's going to kill you, but I'll go for you", Zhuo Xuan only felt a great horror enveloping him-

What is the connection between this disaster, which was once thought to have happened a long time ago, and the case of the disappearance of the parents?

In the dark, it seems that there is an incomparably thick hand, which is enough to block the accidents that rush in fate, and guide a predetermined path for the ignorant Zhuo Xuan!

Daddy, is he the Chosen One?

Where the hell did they go?

Forcing down the throbbing in his heart, Zhuo Xuan struggled to breathe in the scorching air, and his lungs seemed to become burning because of this. He recalled that Fang Ting, the childhood sweetheart's playmate, was so weak and helpless in the spiritual world, and he was longing for his salvation until the last moment of his life...... Then, in his longing, he was devoured by the beast.

Maybe it was the beast that fused Fang Ting's will, or maybe it was Fang Ting who turned into a beast. In the end, her will materialized the young Zhuo Xuan, turned into this extremely intimidating "beast", and returned to reality with her, protecting the girl and completing what Zhuo Xuan was not able to do at the beginning.

Is it a form of self-deception, or is it the result of atonement?

Zhuo Xuan doesn't know.

However, what he does know is that he doesn't have to live with guilt for a long time.

……

Without the threat of the beast, the flames that burned by the presence of the beast were quickly extinguished. The whole street was scorched, and the air was filled with a foul smell of charcoal, and billowing black smoke obscured the sky and rose into the air.

The mess on the street did not trap Zhuo Xuan's sight, and he frowned and looked into the distance. There was chaos in the darkness, and the light that flew wildly escaped into it, and then burst out of another crack that was difficult to see with the naked eye, repeatedly.

Such a strange scene made Zhuo Xuan immediately recall the words of Xu Hao and others, and he knew that this was not the real world, but a space constructed by strange objects to intercept reality for a certain period of time.

If you want to get out of here, you must get the strange thing that constructs space.

"Alice," Zhuo Xuan said suddenly, his face a little tired, "they ......"

Alice's breath was suffocated, and she was about to take over Zhuo Xuan's words, but her face changed suddenly, and she immediately turned around and looked at a shadowy place somewhere in the scorched black street!!

In the shadows, a figure stood quietly.

The man slowly raised his head, collided with Alice's gaze, and after being surprised, the corners of his mouth outlined a helpless smile, and then he raised the soles of his feet and left the position of his hidden body.

"It's really amazing intuition," the man in black-rimmed glasses let out an insincere sigh, he pushed his glasses, there were some stains on his clothes, and he looked somewhat embarrassed, "I didn't expect that I would hide so well and be discovered by you." ”

This is not a joke.

For men with black-rimmed glasses, the concealment of breath and the integration of the surrounding environment can almost be called an instinctive reaction. Before becoming the Chosen One, many people had a profession to live on in reality, and men with black-rimmed glasses were no exception.

As a real "killer", he understands most of the ways to disguise himself.

"Who the hell are you?" Alice took half a step forward and blocked Zhuo Xuan's body behind her, but her body was slightly petite, so that Zhuo Xuan's head was still exposed with a dazed and stunned face.

"As you can see," the man in black-rimmed glasses smiled, his face a little gloomy, "My name is Deng Dong." ”

Deng Dong?

This slightly ordinary name was very unfamiliar to Zhuo Xuan, and his face was still blank. Alice, who was standing in front of him, also frowned slightly, she knew that this dangerous man should have a second word.

"Come out, don't play dead!" Deng Dong. Suddenly, he shouted, and his face became hideous and distorted!

This shouting came suddenly, making the hearts of Zhuo Xuan and Alice jump in unison. Immediately afterward, they saw another embarrassed figure walking out of the alley—

Xu Hao!!

The middle-aged man, scorched and curly, had clearly walked in the flames of the beast; His right hand was clutched against his bloody left shoulder. Thick blood trickled down his arm like a bell-wiggling old clock, stuck to his fingertips, and dripped to the ground.

Obviously, in this conflict, Xu Hao did not get any benefits.

However, what Zhuo Xuan was more concerned about was the tone of the young man with black-rimmed glasses speaking to Xu Hao, which seemed to be mixed with a hint of command, which was unceremonious.

Xu Hao seemed to be accustomed to the orders of the man with black-rimmed glasses, his face was gloomy, and he staggered towards the man who called himself Deng Dong.

Under the horrified gaze of Zhuo Xuan and Alice, Xu Hao's body slowly became blurred as if it was black ink smeared in the clear water, turning into a ball of light and piercing into Deng Dong's body!

"Surprised?" Deng Dong turned his head and looked at Zhuo Xuan and Alice who were standing in place like sculptures, with strange expressions, "My 'trick', doppelganger." ”

Doppelganger.

This name is not unfamiliar to Zhuo Xuan, who has read some strange stories.

In psychology, doppelgangeration refers to the psychological hallucination that a person sees another self in real life, that is, the phenomenon of self-peeping. However, because of its strange properties, it can be glimpsed in many urban legends.

Some people even believe that doppelgangers cannot be explained simply by scientific methods. Everyone has a hidden side, an invisible self hidden in the heart.
