Chapter 10: The World of Lost Illusions

2520, the second floor of the green 'Hong Tsai',

Du Heng and I were trapped in an unaware desert when we saw a black shadow attacking in front of us, oh! No, it was me and Du Heng's soul that was pursued by the black shadow, and I saw it rushing towards us at a very fast speed, with great momentum, flying sand and rocks everywhere it went.

"Balance! What the hell is ahead? ”

"Girl, it looks like we're going to die together in this desert, run, over there."

Du Heng pulled me and ran in the other direction, I don't know how long I ran, and suddenly the desert around me turned into snow, the snow was very big, and the wind was also very strong. The snow footprints behind him were clear as usual. The black shadow didn't follow, and the two of us didn't dare to slack off and kept running, and he pulled me so hard that I was out of breath.

"Duheng, I ,,,, I can't run"

"Hold on a little longer, but, girl, don't you think it's strange?"

"What?"

"I can hold your hand"

Only then did I realize that Du Heng's clenched hand could really be felt, and there was still a little warmth coming, and when I looked up at him, it was not as transparent as before, and men and women could not kiss each other, so I shook it off.

"Don't, let me pull a little longer" Du Heng didn't care about my awkwardness at all, he actually held my hands with both hands, and jumped up happily in a circle, "Come, celebrate, we've passed another level." ”

Maybe because of his extreme speed, his long hair fell out, and his already handsome face, coupled with this long black hair, I really thought it was a woman if I didn't look closely.

"How many years have you had your long hair?" I was impressed by his beauty.

"You don't need to ask, five hundred years!"

"You said if we were all from five hundred years ago, why did your hair grow so much longer than mine?" That's a question I've always wanted to ask.

"It's... Is a good question, maybe you're a bald nun? Ha ha. Du Heng said with a laugh.

"Go, you're a monk! Is it okay that this girl is not married? ”

"How do you know? If nothing goes wrong, the emotional memories of both of us should be lost. Du Heng took my hand and relaxed, I took the opportunity to pull it out, pointed to the distance and said, "What a lot of snow!" It's beautiful."

At a glance, there was a vast field of snow in the distance, and the snowflakes in the sky were falling, I stretched out my hand to grab it, but no, it turned out that everything I saw here was not real, it seemed to be just a little visual feeling, where there was any heavy snow. I looked down and saw that the snow was over my knees and covered my feet, and when I raised my foot and kicked it, there were snowdrifts that followed, but these were all fake, there were no snowdrifts, nothing, and it was not cold to the touch.

"Du Heng, I'm going crazy, I've woken up from the cave, nothing is common sense here, and most of my memories have been lost, this place where the two of us exist is simply terrible, it's not human." Frustrated, I sat in the 'snow' on the ground, silent.

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Du Heng also buried himself in the fake snow and sat next to me, clasped his hands on his knees, silently accompanied, paused for a while and said, "Ling Wei, tell you a story about the lost box." Once upon a time"

"There was a princess and a prince... Live a happy life! I interrupted him, sure he was teasing me.

"No, there is a once unique master of Chinese medicine family, Du Shangyun."

"Du Shangyun? Isn't that your name? ”

"Don't interrupt! Legend has it that this Shangyun 6-year-old can memorize the "Materia Medica", 12-year-old can accurately use the "Qianjin Prescription", around the age of 18, the village raised cattle sick, he is even more bold to prescribe medicine for the cattle, the treatment of the whole village of the cattle to keep the people's rations, since then, the people in the village are to the family ancestral hall as respect, all courtesy. ”

"Make it up, make it up again" decided that he was coaxing me, and I laughed and teased him.

"Do you listen?"

"Okay, I'll listen, you keep talking"

Until the birth of the only male in the Du family, Du Shangyun will learn all his life, all the teaching of this son, unfortunately, although this son is talented, can never forget, but all day long do not learn no skills, dad in front of the medicine to save people, he tossed the villagers in the back, the fruit planted by the villagers is not ripe He first fell, whose newborn piglet, the calf was stolen by his son without paying attention, beckoning the little partner to roast the suckling pig, roast the cow to eat. Until one day, when the little guy was about twelve years old, he found two dying foreigners when he went up the mountain to play, and Du Shangyun went up the mountain to rescue the two fathers and sons. ”

After speaking, Du Heng silently looked ahead, thoughtful.

"And then?" I asked him

"And then there was no then. Are you feeling better? ”

"What's your story? has no head and no tail, so, are you Du Shangyun? ”

"The wisdom of Chinese medicine is profound, I am afraid that I can only be the apprentice and grandson of other people, I still have a measure."

"Oh, so you name yourself Duheng, you have a degree of relaxation, and you measure yourself?"

"They are all studying medicine, I just hope that I can be the descendant of Mr. Du."

"Wait, you just said that this story was told to you by the Lost Box?" I seem to have discovered a detail.

"Yes"

"He told you the story, and then said you are Du Shangyun?"

"Yes"

"Why do you think you're not?"

"Obviously, Mr. Du is not the same age as me, if there are twelve or thirteen-year-old heirs, they are at least in their thirties, right? Do I look that old? Du Heng stood up and pulled me and said, "Let's go, we haven't returned to the Yuan Shen yet." ”

"If we can only live for 500 years if we are frozen here, how did the 'Lost Box' come about? It's a technology product that doesn't need to be frozen to survive for so long. And you can analyze the obvious age discrepancy, why does it still say that you are Du Shangyun"

"So you, what are you suspicious?" Du Heng also began to think.

"I'm wondering if the environment I'm in now is a virtual image created by this high technology? Include your story"

"Purpose?"

"Maybe it's not its purpose, but the purpose of the maker, or is it the technology product that we are afraid of losing contact with the mother body after we come back to life? Or is it because you are worried that if you don't survive, you need an instrument to keep a record? "I'm going to speculate that it's all incredible.

"If that's true, it's been taking me here and there for the past two months to find something, and that's reasonable."

"So, it knows what it means to be here, and doesn't let you go upstairs at all, knowing that the soul will be out of the body! "When I think about it, I have a vague sense that danger is coming." Maybe something more unpredictable will happen here."

"But why would a designer design a place where the soul is extracted?"

"Or want to capture our souls, or want to capture our bodies." I stood up and looked at the white expanse

"That's not good, the soul is captured, the soul is scattered, the body is occupied, and the two of us will become wandering ghosts"

I know that Du Heng also felt that something was wrong at this time, his handsome eyes showed a trace of nervousness, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and they were tightly closed.

Again, we couldn't catch each other, reverted to translucent form, and moved on.

Fear is everywhere, and the real fear is not that you know how strong your opponent is, but that you simply don't know where and when your opponent will appear.
