At night, the city of Magunor is particularly quiet, in the simple and solemn magic academy, Dean Marcus is holding a letter, circled the corresponding words in each line according to a specific decryption order, and after reading it again, the dean's brows are tightly knit and he is silent for a long time. After thinking for a long time, a turquoise flame appeared between the dean's right finger, burning the letter in his hand into a pile of ashes.

Then the Dean got up from his chair and went to the bookcase and twisted a mechanism on the bookcase. As the bookcase flipped, a door appeared behind the bookcase. When the dean opened the door, a secret passage appeared, and when the dean entered, he carefully closed the door behind him and carefully examined the thin silk thread straightened above the threshold.

After making sure that no one was here, Dean Marcus suddenly chanted, "The sound of the air, the color of the picture, the moon in the water, the image in the mirror, everything is empty!"

Immediately, Dean Marcus's face changed slightly, in addition to the disappeared old man lines and the more youthful facial features, the biggest change was the special magic lines that appeared on his face.

Dean Marcus walked over to a special magic device, and with a large amount of magic infused, a burst of colorful light flickered, and a black crystal appeared.

The black crystal is crystal clear, and from the center of the inside, it constantly radiates a seeping black light. The inside of the crystal is clearly visible, with several tiny chains locking in the light source in the center. The outside of the crystal is engraved with ten six-pointed star arrays, from top to bottom, in a circle engraved on each face of the crystal.

The dean held the crystal and stood for a long time, and after thinking for a long time, a burst fireball burst from his hand. Dean Marcus said with a determined look in his eyes at this time: "The ancestors once fought their lives to seal you, and hundreds of years have passed, and your magic power should also be exhausted. Immediately, the lines on Dean Marcas's body burst out, flashing with blood-red light, and then used the fireball in his hand to incinerate the crystal to ashes.

Then the dean seemed to feel that something was going well, and whispered: "That's no problem, such an evil life, it's better to never show up." Die, die clean so that no one will prying eyes. After saying that, the dean changed to his normal appearance again, and after restoring everything at the entrance, he left the room.

But in the inconspicuous pile of ashes, no one noticed that a dark light hid beneath the ashes, and drifted into the air along the ventilation of the chamber as the dean left......

In the special room of the Chamber of Secrets, a copy of "Demon Saint Ryder - Darkness and Death" is randomly placed in the corner next to it......

At the same time, in the student dormitory of the Magunor Academy of Magic, Qin You released a light spell on his desk, and with that light, he was studying the magic study materials borrowed from the library.

Shirley and Nancy lying on Qin You's bed above the table slept soundly, since the beginning of the school year, Nancy and Shirley didn't dare to sleep alone because they were afraid, and then the two little Loli would like to sleep on Qin You's bed every day, and over time, Qin You got used to it. Unconsciously, Shirley has become extremely dependent on Qin You, and Nancy's loneliness since she was a child also makes her like to have Qin You next to her, because in this way she will sleep peacefully.

Tonight, it was because Shirley and Nancy fell asleep peacefully that Qin You was able to get out of bed and prepare for tomorrow's magic theory exam, although it was not difficult for him, but after all, it was a brand new system of knowledge, even if it was easy to understand, but it still needed to be deliberately practiced to internalize the knowledge learned, just like the learning of many things, it always takes a lot of time to get started. Qin You, whether in the previous life or in this life, has always been a hard-working person, even if he is currently very talented, he knows what he should do every day.

"If you put everything to tomorrow, you will lose tomorrow forever. As Qin You finished writing the last word, Qin You finally closed the pen. Qin You was about to cancel the light technique and carefully prepare to go to bed when a black light floated onto Qin You's body in the night...... After a few flickerings, the black light seeped into Qin You's body, but in the night, the black beam of light blended perfectly with the background, and no one noticed.

As Qin You carefully covered Shirley and Nancy with the quilt and gently stroked their hair, Qin You also lay on the bed and fell asleep.

......

On March 14, 2019, Qin You picked up the vibrating mobile phone as usual, canceled the vibration and ringtone casually, stared at the mobile phone screen with a somewhat broken screen, and determined that the time was seven o'clock in the morning, and suddenly felt a sense of disobedience in his heart.

However, Qin You immediately got up normally, washed and ate breakfast as usual. When Qin You watched a doctor and medical patient on the morning news on TV, while eating the last biscuit, the picture in the TV made the sense of disobedience in Qin You's heart finally accumulate to the extreme, after closing his eyes and carefully recalling what happened before, Qin You frowned, Qin You finally felt very wrong in his heart, and the doubts in his heart made him raise his right hand and chant in a low voice tentatively: "Light of hope, dispel the darkness." A ball of light appeared in the palm of his hand, which was exactly the illumination technique that Qin You had used every night before.

Looking at this light, Qin You was silent for a long time, and the memory of Magunor Academy in his brain finally awakened. Qin You looked around the room, thoughtfully, then picked up his mobile phone, found the parents column in the address book, and dialed the number.

"Son, why did you call suddenly? Did you encounter something at school?" came a familiar voice on the mobile phone that I hadn't heard for a long time.

Qin You calmed down the emotions in his heart a little, kept himself calm, and then replied with a slight tremor in his voice: "Mom, it's okay, it's just that I suddenly miss you a little...... By the way, is Dad here?Talk to me for a while......" After enjoying the sound that should never be heard, Qin You finally took the initiative to hang up the phone, although theoretically he was about to go to work, but Qin You was not flustered now.

Qin You immediately walked to the room where he had crossed over, found his laptop, casually checked the novels he had read, and closed the computer.

"Everything, there's no going back. Qin You closed his eyes and sighed.

"I have to say, this is a very powerful fantasy or dream. Sound, language, environment, human sense of taste and smell, etc., are all constructed like the real thing. After a pause, Qin You continued to say in the language of the Elda Continent: "But unfortunately, it's still too fake for me. ”

"How did you find out?" the otherworldly language sounded out of thin air in Qin You's room.

"Once you speak, it's 100 percent certain. Qin You responded, and then the whole world turned into darkness.

Qin You found that the world suddenly turned into darkness, sorted out his clues, and then said:

"First, this dream starts when you get up. But for me, what I saw when I woke up was extremely irrational in itself, because I have a very special memory. ”

"Second, there is no scene on the morning news where the doctor uses water healing magic on a patient, and then I use illumination here, although it seems normal to you to use magic, but as far as I know, at least in the context of my dreams, it is impossible to use magic!"

"Thirdly, my parents asked me about school and magic on the phone, called me Ike, and even talked to me like a 6-year-old. However, in this dream, I can't be Ike. ”

"Finally, you don't understand the meaning of these symbolic characters called Hanyu. Just now I casually flipped through the novel of Jupiter's gravity that I hadn't finished chasing, and found that it was all garbled, but the last update was a week ago, but it was quite restored......"

After saying the above four points, Qin You became more and more convinced to say his conjecture: "If I guess correctly, the part that you can construct and restore in the dream or illusion is the part that clearly exists in my memory, but for me, there are two bugs here." ”

After a slight pause, Qin You smiled and said, "First, most of the content in my memory is difficult for you to understand, so you can only construct a similar dream, so in the details of the dream, it will not stand up to scrutiny. Second, my identity is confused in this constructed dreamscape. If everything in the dream realm is true, then I should be Qin You, a college graduate you can't understand, not Ike, who is studying at Maguno's School of Magic! You can't understand Qin You's existence, so after avoiding it, you arranged another identity for me - Ike, but unfortunately this world Ike doesn't exist!"

"Maybe your dreams will be real to other people, because other people have the same world as you, everything you understand will be similar, and it will be difficult for other people to have identity confusion, but unfortunately, for me, these dreams are still too false. After a pause, Qin You said, "But, no matter what, I need to say thank you, at least I enjoy hearing some of the voices again." After finishing speaking, Qin You closed his eyes and thought about some questions.

The voice in the dark space seemed to be interested, and a voice sounded in the space again: "It's really special, it's amazing." Then he said, "So, can you deduce what happened?"

Qin You replied after thinking about it: "No, I'm in the light, you are in the dark, and I can't figure out what happened under the asymmetry of information." It doesn't matter to me, though, what matters is – what are you trying to do to me with this game?"

"Hahahaha! It's funny, if I'm going to do you badly now, wouldn't you make me more vigilant?" said a voice in the dark.

After listening to the words, Qin You's brows furrowed after thinking for a while, but his expression immediately returned to normal, and he said with a smile, "Since it has been exposed, then don't hide, show up." Then his right hand was placed behind his back, and a black fire with almost no brightness burned in his hand, hidden in the darkness and extremely inconspicuous.

Then, in the dark space facing Qin You's eyes, a black light flashed, and although the black light was not obvious in the dark, the huge difference in brightness still made Qin You notice.

Qin You walked over lightly and confronted the black light for dozens of seconds, Qin You saw that the black light was speechless, and suddenly his right hand slammed out, hitting the black light with a black flame with almost no brightness, and then the flame color immediately changed to bright white. Just as the bright white flames seemed to cause damage to the black light, the black light suddenly flickered and disappeared into the dark space. Qin You was not annoyed when he saw this, but immediately chanted: "Where the light is, protect all living beings forever." Barrier of Light!" Immediately, a layer of light shield appeared around Qin You.

There was a stalemate for about a minute, and a voice came from the darkness: "Boy, how are you sure I'm going to attack you? ”

After hearing this, Qin You closed his eyes and said indifferently: "Actually, I wasn't sure that you wanted to be against me just now, until you just admitted it to yourself. Then Qin You clenched his fists and explained in a deep voice: "Obviously, this is a game. ”

"You can't pull me into a dream for no reason, so this bureau must have a purpose. ”

"The only entrants are you and me. You are in the dark, I am in the light, the information and its asymmetry. Then I am at a disadvantage, the first thing I need to think about is the purpose of this bureau, that is, what you want to do to me!"

"In order to break the game, I first introduced more variables, such as reversing the relationship between us and the light and dark relationship a little. Qin You continued.

So I deliberately aroused your interest by analyzing the dream just now, and then asked you to appear in an affirmative statement. If you don't show up, it's good that you can't show up because of a certain situation, but then you will definitely explain. The worst case scenario is that you're going to hide and attack me. Qin You said word by word.

"But when you do show up, I'll get some important information as well. Seeing that there was no sound coming from the dark space, Qin You continued to speak.

"The first message, you, have entities in the dream world, not ethereal beings that cannot be attacked. Second, if you are good for me, of course you can show up, and then you can tell me what is going on, and at worst, you will emphasize to me your harmlessness to prevent me from attacking you in the future. Even if I attack you and you are in my favor, I will not be threatened with my life in the end. However, you didn't do this after you appeared, but confronted me for dozens of seconds, so I can only suspect that you regarded me as an enemy at that time, and subconsciously guarded against me. Of course, even so, I still can't completely rule out the possibility that you are going to favor me, until you yourself have just admitted that you want to attack me. ”

"And on the premise of basically making sure that you are harmful to me, then your appearance shows that you have the strength or hole cards in hand, and you are not worried that I can turn the tables. Confrontation is when you think about whether you should use your hole cards or not, so there is a cost to using your hole cards. For more information, I'll use light and fire magic to attack you and get the first hand. Eventually, after attacking you, I have summarized a few very important points. ”

At this time, Qin You silently estimated the time in his heart, and said slowly: "That is, magic can be used here, magic can hurt you, and through your reaction, you have determined that you want to be unfavorable to me. Why do you need such a dream to confuse me? I can only think that I still have some chance to resist, and you don't want me to take it. After speaking, a smile flashed at the corner of Qin You's mouth.

"So now the game has changed from me being unilaterally controlled by you to: you and I are in the game, and you want to be against me, so we will have confrontation, you have your confident mystery hole cards, but because there is a price to pay, so I can also have a glimmer of hope. Qin You smiled and concluded.

At this time, the dark space that had been silent sounded again: "Since you yourself are already very clear, in the case that I know that you have magic, I dare to show up fearlessly because of my hole cards, then under the assessment of strength in my eyes, your hope is very slim." ”

After hearing this, Qin You smiled very indifferently: "At least I am clear about the current situation, and I am not slaughtered by others in my dream...... By the way, do you know why I told you so many things?" Qin You didn't wait for the black light to reply and immediately said, "Because...... I'm trying to stall!"

When Qin You finished saying "because", Qin You aimed at a corner of the dark space and threw out two light spears at the same time with his left and right hands, after studying in the magic academy, this is the strongest light attack magic that Qin You can release with the magic power of an E-level magician - the Holy Spear, a magic that does great damage to dark creatures, but the disadvantage is that it takes too long to prepare. Although the resonance of the magic was weakened and the power was weakened without chanting, it was precisely because of this that Qin You was able to secretly prepare for this raid.

Seeing this, Heiguang was very unhappy and hurriedly avoided the two light spears, but just as Heiguang thought that he had avoided the light spears, Heiguang suddenly felt a fierce attack from the front. Then the black light found that there were actually two more ...... in front of him Black Light Spear!

"Those two spears of light are the illumination technique of feint attack. Qin You said with a smile.

"And the attack you didn't see in the dark space were the other two spears of light wrapped in the dark element. These two spears of light are the real thing. Qin You smiled happily after seeing that the Divine Spear made the black light even dimmer.

"This is impossible! you can actually use the two absolutely conflicting elements of light and darkness at the same time!" Qin You smiled when he heard the sound in the dark space.
