Volume 1 Beidu University Chapter 21 Illusory and True

In the Heroic Soul Temple, the general knelt in front of the giant monument, telling his experience, and Shen Chen stood silently behind him.

He can understand the general's regret and powerlessness, and he once had a similar experience, but not as miserable as the general.

The general's words changed, and the originally sad words gave birth to a glimmer of hope,

"Fortunately, you came, this day was the most comfortable day in my twelve years, I saw Xiang'er, I finished my confession to her, I didn't run away again, I accepted all this quietly in Chiyang City,

Now I have no regrets, although history will not change, but today I have the courage to die, at least I can meet the people of the past, which I did not dare to think of before, before I was always afraid to see the dead people, afraid to see their disappointed faces. Your unexpected appearance has awakened my memory in advance, and now may be the best opportunity in so many years! ”

The general slowly stood up, he was originally sad. His calm eyes were gradually covered with anger, and he took a deep breath and turned again, his eyes calm.

"So what's next? Where to find mandala flowers? ”

Shen Chen knew very little about this kind of magical thing, and his understanding of the outside world was still in books.

"Mandala flower, it's been twelve years now, it's not as weak as the D-rank beast I saw when I first saw it, every time I wake up from a nightmare over the years, I can clearly feel its strengthening, in this way, sooner or later one day it will be completely mature, the mature mandala flower is an S-rank beast, then it will be a disaster for the whole world, there has been a mature mandala flower before,

It causes the people of the city to fall into a dream, creating all kinds of fears in the dream, absorbing the negative emotions of the people in the city, until the people of the city gradually turn into a white skeleton with the passage of time.

Fortunately, this mandala flower is still a juvenile body, and we can still deal with it. ”

"And what are we going to do with him?"

The general walked out of the Shrine and looked out at the silent streets and the bright moonlight.

"In fact, when you see Chiyang City from a distance, you enter the illusion of the mandala flower, you are very lucky, the mandala flower has a period of sleep every year, at that time it will be very fragile, and at this time it is in a state of sleep, so it does not find you, there will be an interval of half an hour between each reincarnation, so we must seize this node,

Fight to escape the illusion of the Mandala Flower within this half hour, or kill it within this half hour!

Now the beast tide has just begun, Chiyang City is still resisting stubbornly, three hours later, my father will detonate the source crystal cannon and die with it, you wait here, wait until everything is over before it appears, even the sleeping mandala will habitually absorb the negative emotions of the nightmares, and the mandala flower at that time has just finished absorbing my negative emotions, it is the most relaxing time, we have to seize this opportunity to kill with one blow! ”

The general's deep voice recounted his plan,

"If it fails, I. . . You will fall into samsara again, and it is not always that we are so lucky to be aware of the illusion in advance, and it is really the first time in many years that I have awakened early. ”

The general looked at Shen Chen, who wanted to stop talking, and said again,

"I know you want to say escape, but at this time, the mandala flower is already a B-rank high-level beast, if you want to leave, you will definitely wake up the sleeping mandala flower, and at that time, the mandala flower will definitely use all its strength to control you and pull you into the illusion!"

Shen Chen was silent, it was better to be pulled into the illusion realm, after all, this is just a virtual world, but I am afraid that I will be directly judged by Bei Ling and kicked out of the survival game, which will be very bad.

"How? Have you made up your mind? Is it to escape? Or is it a war? ”

The general's words were low, and his words were not only like saying to Shen Chen, but also like strengthening his beliefs.

"Heh~"

Shen Chen stood up straight and stretched, he looked at the half-round waning moon outside and chuckled softly,

"What are you doing with it? Two words 'beat it up'! ”

The general's smile suddenly bloomed, he patted Shen Chen's shoulder, his eyes were slightly red, and said,

"Good! Good! Good! Worthy of my fancy brother! ”

The two clapped their palms together, and an agreement was reached.

……

The half-round waning moon still hangs in the sky, but it is closer to the apex of the sky than before, and the panic outside is still endless, and the originally red Yang Crisp Festival is dyed with blood again.

The general went out to fight, he said that he was the main body of this dream, and the mandala flower would unconsciously pay attention to his actions even in his sleep, so he couldn't have too much abnormality, otherwise he might attract the attention of the mandala flower, and then today he no longer wanted to be a deserter, he wanted to witness this fact with his own eyes, and his father, and his comrades, this is just an illusion, even if he died, he was still alive in reality, and he could go with Shen Chen to fight against the mandala flower.

When the general left, he put on his armor again, took the sword called Akaba, and returned to Chiyang City with joy and happiness.

I don't know how long it took, only to hear an earth-shattering explosion, Shen Chen, who felt a little shaking, knew that the reincarnation was over, and now it was time for him to appear, he walked out of the ancestral hall, and there was no imaginary bloody rain in front of him, only dilapidated and dilapidated beams.

Shen Chen walked towards the vibration sound in his memory, the bustling streets had long since become wilderness, the tall houses had become ruins, and the plaque of the food restaurant could only recognize the word "food", which was the current Chiyang City.

Getting closer and closer to the source of the sound, I saw the huge pit in the distance, which looked about the size of half of Chiyang City. On the edge of the pit stood a scrawny man, his shabby clothes making him look like a beggar. The beggar was skinny, and it looked as if he hadn't eaten a good meal in a long time. But his eyes were bright, and there was a happy smile on his face full of dishes.

"You're here?"

A familiar voice came from the beggar's mouth.

"General, how are you? Is this what it looks like? ”

Shen Chen was very surprised, the originally tall general was actually so thin, which made him extremely surprised. The general carefully looked at his thin body, and said with a wry smile helplessly,

"I've been like a walking corpse all these years, and if I hadn't made some poplar shortbread myself, I'm afraid I would have starved to death, which would be good."

Shen Chen was silent, he could feel the general's painful feelings, now he should probably be the most real him, although he lost everything, but now he can finally face himself and face everything.

Looking up, there was a wolf bone in the huge pit, and the passage of time had already carried the flesh and blood of the wolf corpse, and all that was left was the non-perishable white bone.

The wolf bone is located in the very center of the huge pit, although the wolf bone is extremely large, it is still slightly small in front of this boundless pit.

The head of the wolf bone was long since it was invisible, because there were countless flower vines entwined there, and from time to time you could see some purple and bewitching flowers blooming in it, and the flower vines not only had green leaves but also huge spikes.

This can no longer be called a flower, this can already be said to be a flower cluster, although it is only a mandala flower.

In the middle of the flowering cluster, where the top is not enclosed by vines, a huge and bewitching mandala flower stands in the middle of it.

"As you can see, this is the mandala flower, it has just absorbed my negative emotions, and now is its most relaxed moment, of course our opponent is not only the mandala flower."

Hearing this, Shen Chen looked at the mandala flower again, and in the whole flower bush, Shen Chen saw the legendary Revenant Bee, the Revenant Bee is a D-rank alien beast, this kind of alien beast is a kind of special survival next to the pile of dead corpses, they are extremely fond of the rotten smell of corpses when they decompose, they feed on maggots growing in the rotting corpses, so they become revenant bees.

"These revenant bees should be alien beasts raised in the mandala captive, in the juvenile period, the mandala flower does not have much means except to create illusions, so it can only rely on captive some alien beasts as its own means of defense.

At this time, the mandala flower is obviously asleep, which can be confirmed from the aimless parade of this group of revenant bees, the revenant peak, like ordinary bees, also relies on the mother bee to give orders, and the revenant female bee has long been controlled by the mandala flower, so this group of revenant peaks has become its appendage. ”

The general looked at the boundless pit and sighed,

"Don't look at it now divides so many branches and leaves, but it has only one main branch, which is the earliest flower, which is its spiritual carrier, only by finding its main carrier and destroying it, we can destroy the mandala flower, but be careful Although the mandala flower has a great dependence on the original carrier, it is not necessary, in the opportunity of life and death, it can give up everything and change the carrier!"

"That is, even if we kill the main carrier of the mandala flower, it will not necessarily perish? Isn't that invincible? ”

"It can't be said that after all, although the mandola can change its carrier at any time, once the original carrier is destroyed, it will also be devastated, the most obvious is that all the previous efforts have come to nothing, and it needs to redevelop a carrier and grow again.

And after its original carrier is destroyed, it will fall into weakness, and whether it dies or not, its control over us will be lifted, and we will be able to get rid of the illusion completely! ”

"Sounds promising!" Shen Chen took out his military dagger and wiped it twice with his cuffs.

The general smiled slightly, revealing his old yellow teeth,

"Yes, but before that, we first have to get rid of these troublesome revenant bees, although these things are not high in attack power, but they are better in number, size, and poisonous, one or two are not a problem, once you are stung frequently, then the more your toxins accumulate, it will accumulate in the wound, so that your wound will rot quickly."

Shen Chen had seen a similar introduction from the book, but he didn't expect that one day he would look directly at such a terrifying beast.

But on second thought, it's just a virtual world! Thinking of this, he not only turned his head and looked at the general, his story was flesh and blood, if it weren't for his own confirmation that this was just a virtual world, he would have thought he was a living person!

The general felt Shen Chen's gaze, and also turned his head, frowned and asked,

"What's wrong?"

Shen Chen shook his head,

"Do we have a plan? Or just rush in? ”

The general smiled,

"Of course there's a plan, I'll deal with these revenant bees, and you'll deal with the mandala flowers inside, how about it? Is there a problem? ”

Shen Chen was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the endless revenant bees on the mandala flower, and couldn't help but say,

"But...... Can't you burn it with fire? ”

"Fire? Do you think the mandala flower is dead? The general interrupted Shen Chen's words,

"Besides, I should have been a dead man a long time ago, and now I can help you before I die, and I can be regarded as repaying you for your help to me."

The general laughed, his smile full of relief.
