Zhang Liangsheng took a quick look back with a hint of doubt, and found that the footsteps of the two monsters turned into by Meng Lian and Ling Zun also seemed to be gradually slowing down.

"Whew...... It seems that I made the right choice. ”

When Zhang Liangsheng found that Menglian and Ling Zun's footsteps had completely stopped, and they were standing motionless, Zhang Liangsheng struggled in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth fiercely, and also stood in place, and then turned around.

"They are not enemies, my real enemies are Falling Moon Hime...... It's the Falling Moon Hime......"

Zhang Liangsheng muttered this sentence repeatedly, and at this time, after discovering that Zhang Liangsheng was no longer running away, Ling Zun and Meng Lian also slowly began to catch up again, their speed became faster and faster, and their momentum became fierce again.

His heart was beating violently, as if his heart was about to jump to his throat, and he knew very well that if his judgment was wrong, he would probably die here.

However, the most important thing is to be resolute and unwavering with strong prejudices!

Zhang Liangsheng's muscles were in an extremely tense state, he repeated the prejudice in his mind again and again, listening to the sound getting louder and louder, Zhang Liangsheng's fists were clenched tighter and tighter.

And in the end, when the two monsters that Ling Zun and Meng Lian turned into came to him, roared, let out a terrible and resentful scream, and swung their claws and heavy fists at him, Zhang Liangsheng felt that his heart suddenly relaxed.

The passage of time suddenly slowed down for a moment, Zhang Liangsheng thought, maybe this is just his own feelings, but it is also natural, after all, this is an illusion, not reality. At the same time, after repeating that sentence many times, a new idea suddenly popped up in Zhang Liangsheng's mind.

Ling Zun and Meng Lian, what if the two of them are monsters? Are we not companions when we become monsters?

No, it's not. Seeing that the attack of the two was slowly and about to fall on him, Zhang Liangsheng's gaze was extremely firm.

It's a fantasy, it's a monster or something else, it doesn't matter. The important thing is whether I see them as partners, whether I want to trust them, and who I consider enemies is the key to the question.

I'm in a fantasy situation, and I can still make my own choices, even if everything is false, no, but because of this, I should make more decisive decisions.

Slowly, Zhang Liangsheng looked at the claws and heavy punches that were about to tear apart, his gaze softened, revealing a very peaceful smile.

"You won't hurt me."

"And I, in the first place, shouldn't have run away."

"Although...... It's a little late to realize this, but I guess...... Ling Zun, Menglian, I should still be in time, right? ”

Watching the attack fall, Zhang Liangsheng's eyes didn't blink, and at this time, the feeling of time stagnation disappeared, and the next moment, the sharp claws and heavy punches ruthlessly and coldly slashed across Zhang Liangsheng's body.

In an instant, Zhang Liangsheng's body shattered, turning into small fragments, which dissipated powerlessly in the void.

"I seem to ...... I can understand why that guy from the Martial God believes in you so much. ”

"Huh...... Welcome back, Zhang Liangsheng. ”

In Zhang Liangsheng's ears, the familiar voice sounded slowly, and Zhang Liangsheng felt that his body was warm, as if he was immersed in a bath full of sunshine, and the whole person was very comfortable, so comfortable that he didn't want to open his eyes.

But Zhang Liangsheng still chose to open his eyes slowly, and after opening his eyes, Zhang Liangsheng found out

He was lying in an endless wilderness, surrounded by three people, no, to be exact, not human.

Of the three, only one was humanoid, but he looked very tired. His hair was messy, his eyes were sunken, his body was skinny and bone-like, and his clothes were dirty, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had been cleaned.

"Valkyrie."

Zhang Liangsheng sat up slowly, stared at the martial god calmly, and said softly.

"You're doing a great job." The martial god looked embarrassed and tired, but his pupils were still full of light, and he looked at Zhang Liangsheng for a long time, he pulled the stiff muscles at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that seemed a little stiff.

On the other side, there was a ghostly banshee wrapped around her body with vines wrapped around her body. Zhang Liangsheng had seen this banshee in the illusion before, but it was a little different from the current one.

Now the banshee in front of him has a clearer appearance, the skin on her face has fallen off and rotted a lot, but you can still see a little dream ripple on her face. In the end, the pair was a little dim, but bravely looked directly into his eyes, so that Zhang Liangsheng was sure that this banshee was Menglian.

"You're a dream...... A real dream ripple. ”

“…… Welcome back. ”

Meng Lian said something after a long time, and after that, Zhang Liangsheng saw her smile reluctantly, and then said in a low voice: "I...... Isn't it ugly. ”

Zhang Liangsheng shook his head slowly and said, "No...... I am so grateful to you for letting me see the real you. ”

“……”

Meng Lian just smiled silently, but looking at Zhang Liangsheng's gaze, it was even softer.

"And you...... It's Ling Zun. ”

At this time, Zhang Liangsheng saw that Ling Zun's body was a huge stone man, but the large and small cracks on his body made him look very terrifying, especially his appearance, large and small cracks, and stitched wounds, just looking at it was shocking.

But that calm and calm gaze also made Zhang Liangsheng understand that this stone man was actually Ling Zun.

Zhang Liangsheng ...... The illusion just now is the final test we did to you before you go to the Falling Moon Hime. ”

As he spoke, Ling Zun also raised his hand, as if he habitually wanted to pat Zhang Liangsheng's shoulder, but when he realized his form, his huge arm stretched out halfway and then silently retracted it.

"Is this your true form?"

Hearing Zhang Liangsheng's question, Ling Zun smiled lightly and said, "Yes, at least for now. ”

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Liangsheng said a little hoarsely: "At the beginning, the way you let me see it should be you hundreds of years ago." ”

"That's right."

At this time, the martial god also silently raised his hand and said, "Me too, and now I am the real me." ”

Zhang Liangsheng looked at him and said, "You at least maintain your human form, be content." ”

Several people laughed for a while, and the atmosphere gradually returned to calm. But Zhang Liangsheng didn't hate this kind of calm at all.

He knew that these people didn't mean to deceive him, but ...... He needs a process of adaptation, and at the same time, Zhang Liangsheng seems to understand to some extent that, at least for now, he is not in a fantasy world.

"Where is this?"

After standing up, Zhang Liangsheng looked around for a while, but no matter which direction he looked in the east, west, north and south, he couldn't see anything in the endless wilderness, except for the flat wilderness.

"Is it here? It can be said that it is the last pure land in this pantheon. ”

Valkyrie said softly, but a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

"How ironic...... Back then, no one thought that things would turn out like this, and everything that everyone had created together with their ambitions became accomplices in accelerating the destruction of the mortal world. ”

A thin, embarrassed man, a banshee, and a stone man, these are three such people, who have been working silently for hundreds of years in a place that no one knows, in order to protect the mortal world. Zhang Liangsheng felt that there was a hot current flowing through his heart.

He didn't know how to explain this feeling, but the admiration for these three people in his heart was needless to say.

“…… In other words, this is probably a place where hallucinogenic burial magic has not been cast. ”

Meng Lian nodded and said, "Yes, only this place is real...... And I don't really like to come here. ”

"None of the three of us like to come here, but ...... Every once in a while, we get together here. ”

The Martial God stood up and slowly walked in front of Zhang Liangsheng, and he saw a firmness in the Martial God's eyes.

"Because, no matter how cruel reality is, no matter how tragic our situation is, if we have been indulging in illusions and escaping reality because of this, then nothing will change, we must always remember the existence of reality, and remember the feeling of time flow in reality."

Zhang Liangsheng thought that for these three people, it must be a relief to live in an illusion all the time, but ...... Unless they really deceive themselves and tell themselves that fantasy is reality, they still can't live with peace of mind.

Hundreds of years have passed, and Zhang Liangsheng doesn't know what happened during this time, but he thinks that these three people must have experienced a lot of pain that he can't imagine.

The two of them have already lost their original appearance, and they don't need to think about it to know that this must be caused by the battle of the falling moon Ji, and the martial god is indeed too embarrassed and haggard compared to in the illusion, and there is no demeanor of a celestial burial master on his body.

"Whew...... I see, so I'm going to pass the test now? ”

The martial god looked at Zhang Liangsheng and slowly smiled, with a look of relief in his eyes.

"Of course, and...... You've done more than we thought. In the illusion, we have seen your every move, I am proud of you, and about this, not only me, Ling Zun, and Menglian, all think so. ”

"Uh, sure enough...... In other words, the illusion just now was created by you, right? ”

Zhang Liangsheng sighed, and at the same time looked at the martial god with some complaint.

"But that illusion was a little too real, and I really didn't make it."

Meng Lian smiled and said, "We have all seen the changes in your thoughts in the illusion, but Zhang Liangsheng ...... I hope you can remember that the illusions created by the Falling Moon Ji are almost always like this, and after you return to the Falling Moon Ji again this time, you will have to go through the test of that illusion several times. ”

Zhang Liangsheng nodded silently, in fact, he himself guessed that the reason why they would create such an illusion to test themselves was probably to see if they had the ability to rely on their own strength to overcome the illusion in that kind of unexpected situation.

After all, Tsukihime is an enemy, she won't give herself any time to prepare, the other party's purpose is to destroy herself, not to test herself. And to simulate this situation as much as possible, it is natural to do it when it is unexpected, and if you tell him in advance and let him be fully prepared to do it, it will not make sense.
