Chapter 166: Bright Illusion
The light and shadow flashed, and Si Jiuyi appeared in front of Di Yan again.
"Used my cheats?" Although Di Yan couldn't see Si Jiuyi's experience in the illusion, he could feel that Si Jiuyi had taken his things.
He didn't feel sorry for a cheatbook, he just wanted to see Si Jiuyi's appearance to please him.
At this time, he saw the flower in Si Jiuyi's hand, frowned and said, "What is this?" It's really ugly. β
Seeing Di Yan looking at the flower in her hand with a disgusted look, Si Jiuyi couldn't help laughing and retorted: "What is ugly, this was given to me by someone else, I think it's not bad." After speaking, Si Jiuyi made a gesture to put away the flowers.
In the next second, the flower had already flown out of her hand, and when she looked up, the flower had already fallen into Di Yan's hands.
"What are you doing? Give it back! Si Jiuyi said that he was going to step forward to grab it, Di Yan didn't dodge or dodge, so he watched Si Jiuyi be sucked in by the next illusion when he rushed in front of him.
And that flower also turned into powder in the palm of his hand.
The Bright Illusion was a little different from what Si Jiuyi originally thought, Si Jiuyi originally thought that the Bright Illusion would be a place full of peace, but he didn't expect to find that it was full of wild grass and grass here, and some places were full of corpses, which did not look like a bright illusion at all, but rather like a hell on earth.
It is difficult to see living people here, so Si Jiuyi has been walking eastward, and after walking for a long, long time, he has never found any traces of human habitation.
After walking for a long time, Si Jiuyi was shocked to realize that there was no night here!
The sun was not visible in the sky at all, but it was very bright, and the whole sky was bright. And there are no shadows here, not even shadows.
Si Jiuyi saw a dilapidated wooden plank on the side of the road slanted into the dirt, but because there was no sun in the sky, the rays were not coming down from above, but gathered from all directions, so there was no shadow under the plank.
At this time, two more corpses appeared in front of him, and Si Jiuyi ran forward to check them.
The two corpses had almost completely turned into dried corpses, not decomposing or turning into white bones, but as if all the water in the body had disappeared.
Only a layer of skin is left wrapped around the shriveled muscles attached to the bones, which looks creepy.
"Shouldn't a bright world be happy for everyone? Why is it as if there are no living people here? Si Jiuyi muttered to himself, and it's not hot here, these people can't be sunburned.
"Girl, you're from outside, aren't you?" Suddenly, an old voice sounded behind him, and when Si Jiuyi turned his head to look, he saw a person who looked like an old woman staring at her.
The old woman's face was wrinkled, the corners of her eyes and the skin on her face drooped significantly, and her figure was rickety, but her eyes were bright.
Especially when looking at Si Jiuyi, the eager look that popped up in his eyes was even more aggressive, which made Si Jiuyi feel very uncomfortable.
"Mother-in-law, can you tell me what's going on here? Why did I only see you alone after I walked for so long? β
As soon as Si Jiuyi's words fell, the old woman's face instantly fell, and anger shot out of her eyes.
"Whose mother-in-law do you call?" The old woman angrily slammed her cane on the ground, and along with her movements, there was a heart-rending cough.
"Uh...... Then I should call you...... What the? Si Jiuyi asked cautiously, she was afraid that if she said the wrong thing, the old woman might fall down directly.
"Call me sister!" The old woman was still angry, but for some reason, she endured it, but the coveting in her eyes could no longer be hidden. Her eyes were fixed on Si Jiuyi's delicate and fair skin and rosy lips, and she kept fantasizing that all this was her own.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and finally directly invited Si Jiuyi to her house as a guest.
Although he knew that the old woman's purpose was not simple, Si Jiuyi could only choose to go with her, because apart from her, Si Jiuyi had never met any other living people here.
The old woman led Si Jiuyi through a bare mountain, and the trees on it were all dry and dead, and if they were touched lightly, they would turn into powder and scatter in all directions.
After crossing the mountain, we passed through a very wide ditch, and judging by the breadth and direction of its extension, it should be a river, but now there is not a drop of water in the river.
After walking through a winding path, I finally saw a black building in the distance.
said that it was a building, but when Si Jiuyi got closer, he realized that these black buildings were actually small black boxes.
Although the small boxes are tight, you can see the traces of the door and the name on the door, which shows that these small boxes have owners.
said that it was a small box, but in fact it was twenty secret rooms with a length of two meters and a height of two meters, Si Jiuyi didn't understand the old woman's intention of bringing her here, so he could only wait and see what happened.
"Come out quickly, I've brought someone back!" As soon as she reached the range of the black box, the old woman began to shout loudly, and her confident appearance made Si Jiuyi wonder if she was really just old-fashioned.
Hearing the voice of the old woman, the doors on the black box were opened one after another, and then nineteen old men like the old woman appeared, with faces all around them.
These old men were men and women, they were all carrying a stick, and they couldn't help but lick their dry lips after seeing Si Jiuyi's smooth and tender skin.
The old woman stood in front of Si Jiuyi, and there were nineteen people opposite her, because Si Jiuyi couldn't see her face, so she didn't see that she was signaling others with her eyes at this time, ready to start.
They immediately scattered in all directions and surrounded Si Jiuyi's group, and their movements were so skillful that it was not the first time they had done it.
Although he thought of a possibility, Si Jiuyi still didn't want to believe it, and still asked, "What do you want to do?" β
The old woman saw that Si Jiuyi was so naΓ―ve, and she was not in a hurry to kill her, anyway, it was all their people here, and she felt that Si Jiuyi would not be able to escape from their palms today no matter what.
"Don't you understand? As long as we absorb your spiritual power, there will be more vitality to survive. β
"What's the matter with those dried corpses you saw on the road? Have you sucked it all dry? β
"Girl, don't talk nonsense, there are a lot of people there who have been killed by this weather, okay?" Even the most evil person is unwilling to bear the charge of a crime that does not belong to him.
The old woman heard Si Jiuyi say that she killed everyone outside, and immediately argued.
"How did your skin end up like this? What are these boxes used for? And what's really going on here? Si Jiuyi's three consecutive questions obviously stunned these people.
"Hehe, there are still so many questions when death is on the verge of death, wait for us to suck it dry, go ask Hades!" The old woman was the first to rush towards Si Jiuyi, and the others also rushed towards her position.
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, Si Jiuyi was still standing in place, but the twenty people who besieged her just now were all lying on the ground "oops, oops" at this time.
Si Jiuyi is also very tired, first of all, these people look old, weak, sick and disabled, but in fact, their strength is not bad, but because they look too old, Si Jiuyi doesn't dare to be heavy-handed at all, for fear of breaking people.
So these twenty people dragged on for half an hour before they were all put down.
"Answer my question!" Si Jiuyi took out the vajra stick and slammed it directly next to the old woman's cheek, she immediately felt a huge pressure coming from the stick, and the whole person trembled with fright.
"I said, I said, we'll tell you everything you want to know, stop fighting." After the old woman begged for mercy, she immediately told Si Jiuyi the story of this bright place.
"This was not the case in the Land of Light before, but then two men who claimed to be messengers of light passed by and said they would give us eternal light.
We all thought it was a good thing and agreed, but then we had a hellish life.
We're all used to doing it at sunrise and resting at sunset, but when the weather turns to daylight, we all find something very serious, and that is that the sun is gone. Without the sun, both plants and animals are dead, and this so-called light is everywhere, we can't see the time, we don't know whether it's day or night, we can only keep working, and only stop and rest when we are tired.
Later, we gradually found that the rate of aging began to accelerate, do you know why I am angry that you call me mother-in-law? Because I'm only thirty years old! When she said the last sentence, the old woman obviously had a little more courage, which showed that Si Jiuyi's title really made her angry.
"I'm sorry." Si Jiuyi apologized, and asked what the black box was all about.
"This is something that we have found that can slow down aging, as long as you live here, you can slow down aging, and it is completely isolated from the outside world, there is no light at all. This is the only place where we can sleep peacefully. But you can't take too long, because if you don't breathe for too long. β
"Oh......" Si Jiuyi understood a little, "But what did you just say that you want to suck my spiritual power?" β
"That, that one we discovered by accident, as long as we absorb the spiritual power of others, we can regain some youth and physical strength."
"And what do you eat and drink?" Si Jiuyi asked the most critical question, because the water sources, animals and plants here have all died, how do these people live?
"None of the strength we can survive exceeds the Bigu period, and we can't die without eating or drinking, so we only absorb spiritual power and don't eat people."
Seeing Si Jiuyi's suspicious look, the old woman hurriedly denied it again and again.
