Chapter 290: The Bet
“…… I see, I'll do what you say. ”
After being silent for a long time, in the oppressive air, in the end, Zhang Liangsheng still gave his own answer.
He decided to take a gamble, and in fact, there was no other way but to do it now.
"Very good, Zhang Liangsheng, you did the right thing, and then I think you will be grateful for your decision now."
"When that time comes, I'll talk about it while I'm still alive." Zhang Liangsheng felt that his heart was very bitter, although the face of the martial god had a look of comfort, but it was of no use to him.
At least, he couldn't attain inner peace until he understood the way that Valkyrie wanted to teach him to distinguish between illusion and reality.
At this time, the expression on Martial God's face gradually became serious, he glanced at Zhang Liangsheng and said, "Now, you pay attention to what I do." ”
With that, Valkyrie took out a total of seven cards from his bosom, with numbers written on them, numbers from one to ten.
"What is this?" Zhang Liangsheng looked at the cards arranged in front of him in the order of numbers suspiciously, and was puzzled for a while.
"Whatever it is, tell me now if you see seven cards."
"See."
"Okay, then you have to remember, now you have to empty your mind, and then only think about answering my questions truthfully based on what you see and hear."
Zhang Liangsheng looked up at the Martial God and found that he was still calm.
“…… Can you give me a little more time? Zhang Liangsheng took a deep breath, feeling that his mind was very chaotic, and it was difficult to find calm for a while, and the scene where his body had just become transparent was too huge.
"No, in a while, when that woman comes back, you and I will have to finish playing, and this mortal world will be over."
"Then your tone is still so calm?" Zhang Liangsheng said a little speechlessly.
The martial god raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Is it useful to be in a hurry?" It won't be of any use, whether you're in a hurry or not, it's already happened, and the current situation is that only by calming down and slowly coping with what will happen next, it will be possible to overcome the difficulties. ”
“…… Okay, I got it. ”
"Okay, I hope you really know, and not perfunctory me." With that, the Valkyrie quickly put it away, and then rearranged it again.
In front of Zhang Liangsheng, there are seven irregular cards at the moment.
"Zhang Liangsheng, tell me what you see now, tell me as much detail as possible."
Zhang Liangsheng observed the cards one by one, and then said slowly: "There are seven cards in total, but the size and numbers are different, and they are not arranged in order. ”
Glancing at Zhang Liangsheng, the Martial God put one of the cards in front, and in an instant, Zhang Liangsheng saw that the numbers of these cards had all changed, and they had become the same number as the number that the Martial God had just moved.
“…… What do you see now? ”
“…… Seven cards, exactly the same cards. ”
The martial god stared at the stunned Zhang Liangsheng and said, "Is it really exactly the same?" ”
Zhang Liangsheng looked down and found that the backgrounds in the seven cards were slightly different, so he immediately shook his head and denied his previous answer.
"It's different, the background of the cards is different...... And the color of the numbers is not the same...... The old and the new are not the same. ”
Zhang Liangsheng began to observe carefully and found the difference, and looking at Zhang Liangsheng's appearance, the martial god frowned slightly for the first time.
“…… Is it already that serious...... Falling Moon Hime, you're really ruthless. ”
Shaking his head slightly, after that, the Valkyrie also put away the cards again,
Rearranged, this thing was in order.
"What do you see now?"
"Seven cards in order!"
"Do you remember how I lined them up?"
“…… It seems to be, one by one? ”
The martial god nodded and said, "Okay, Zhang Liangsheng, now there is only one last question left, you must concentrate your energy, and you must not let yourself be distracted, okay?" ”
"Okay, I got it."
Let's put it this way, Zhang Liangsheng's eyes burst into concentration, and he gritted his teeth and stared at the seven cards.
The speed of the martial god is not fast, but I don't know why, Zhang Liangsheng found that he just couldn't see this guy's movements clearly, is it because he is good at hallucinogenic burial techniques?
When the Martial God arranged the seven cards together again, Zhang Liangsheng found that this time, the seven cards were all covered.
"Zhang Liangsheng, have you seen which card is the number 1?" The martial god asked, looking at Zhang Liangsheng's gaze for the first time, it became a little grim.
“…… These cards. ”
"Well, these cards?"
Zhang Liangsheng took a deep breath, then looked up at the Martial God and said in a low voice, "These cards...... It's all the number 1. ”
“…… Is it. ”
"But."
Just when the Martial God was about to put away the cards with a calm face, suddenly, Zhang Liangsheng clenched the Martial God's hand with one hand. For a moment, the martial god was stunned, and looked up at Zhang Liangsheng, only to find that a layer of bean-sized cold sweat oozed from his forehead for a moment.
"But...... There shouldn't be seven identical cards here, there is only one 1 out of seven cards, and that's right! ”
Martial God looked at Zhang Liangsheng's eyes, and for the first time, there was a gaze close to appreciation. He tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "That's right, that's it...... In the seven cards, each number is independent, and there should be no other number, so, Zhang Liangsheng, welcome back to the real world. ”
As soon as the martial god's words fell, Zhang Liangsheng sat down on the ground. Zhang Liangsheng felt that his mind was very clear, and the muddy feeling in his mind just now also quietly disappeared, and this refreshing feeling also made Zhang Liangsheng exhale deeply and comfortably.
"Zhang Liangsheng, you can hold these seven cards yourself, which can be regarded as a gift from me to you."
Zhang Liangsheng silently watched as the Martial God squatted down and handed him the seven cards in his hand, he did not refuse, and accepted it directly.
"I'll tell you in advance about Zhang Liangsheng, although you have come to your senses now and returned to the real world, you still exist in the illusion, so ...... Hallucinations will also appear one after another in the future, and you should always pay attention to this. ”
Zhang Liangsheng's mouth was a little bitter, and he muttered, "Why is it like this?" ”
"Because you're in the pantheon right now. The world in this pantheon was itself created using hallucinogenic burial techniques. ”
Zhang Liangsheng looked up at the Martial God and said, "But Luo Yue Ji and I should have left the Pantheon you created, right?" ”
Valkyrie chuckled and said, "Leave? If it was so good to leave, do you think that woman would be so kind to you? ”
After that, the martial god looked at Zhang Liangsheng with a more resolute gaze, and said: "Zhang Liangsheng, I don't dare to say anything else, but there is one thing, I can swear to you that unless I die, otherwise, no one I want to let go of anyone will be able to leave this illusion." ”
“…… What the. ”
Zhang Liangsheng wondered if he had misheard what this guy said just now, unless he died, the people he didn't want to let go of couldn't leave this place?
Zhang Liangsheng looked at the Martial God in a complicated manner and said:
That is to say...... If I'm really in this pantheon right now, is it because you don't want to let me go? ”
The Martial God smiled bitterly and said, "I don't deny it, but the more critical reason is that you didn't find the exit yourself, and that woman will appear next to you, probably to confuse you and keep you as far away from the exit as possible......"
Hearing what the Martial God said, Zhang Liangsheng wanted to ask something more, but at this time, he and the Martial God were stunned at the same time, and then suddenly turned his head to look at the wide open window.
Not far away, a large group of people, followers, and several carriages also rushed towards this side, and from one of the carriages, Zhang Liangsheng also felt the breath of Luoyue Ji.
"There's no time left, Zhang Liangsheng is waiting for the next time we meet...... There should be more worlds to talk to. It's short, but at least it teaches you something. ”
Martial God looked at Zhang Liangsheng's somewhat complicated gaze, smiled slightly, and said, "You are a little smarter than I imagined, although it is really only a little bit, but this is still good news...... Come on, survive the woman's hands first, so we can meet again. ”
Zhang Liangsheng had a stomach full of questions he wanted to ask this guy, but now, it was obvious that he had the most critical question to ask.
"What will I do to survive the fall of the Moon?"
Valkyrie said: "To crack her hallucinogenic burial technique, use the method I taught you before and don't lose yourself in her hallucinogenic burial technique, as long as you avoid this, you will definitely survive, but I think you should be able to do it." ”
After that, the martial god also looked up at the sky outside the window and muttered, "I still need a little time, alas, anyway...... I hope that the next time we meet, you and I will be in a better situation. ”
“…… When will we see you again? ”
“…… One week. ”
Zhang Liangsheng watched the figure of the martial god gradually disappear like a piece of paper ignited in the light, and he didn't ask anything more, he had already seen the carriage parked in the courtyard of the main hall.
After separating from the Martial God just now, if you ask Zhang Liangsheng if he has completely believed in this person, then Zhang Liangsheng's answer is absolutely no. He didn't absolutely believe in the Martial God, but it was undeniable that in what had just happened, the Martial God had brought him an absolutely novel experience.
Zhang Liangsheng also took a final look before putting the seven cards handed over to him by the Martial God back into the Qiankun Ring. Then he suddenly realized that the number on the card had disappeared at some point, and was now replaced by blank pieces of paper, as if nothing had existed here since the beginning.
"What's going on? Where did all those numbers go? Before, the change of numbers helped him overcome his illusion, but now that the numbers are gone, does that mean the seven cards have lost their effect?
Or was it that Valkyrie was just deceiving himself from the beginning? Zhang Liangsheng's heart was full of doubts, but he didn't have time to think about it so much now.
"Zhang Liangsheng, are you there?"
At this time, the beautiful and familiar voice of Luo Yueji sounded at the door, Zhang Liangsheng stared at the door for a long time, feeling that his brain was in chaos for a while.
However, no matter what, now he has no time to think carefully, and the priority now is to deal with Tsukihime. Whatever, anyway, according to the words of the Martial God, he will hold on for at least a week, and the answer will appear in front of him after a week.
Zhang Liangsheng determined his thoughts in his heart, and felt that surviving for a week should be his most important task now. Because, no matter how you think about it, it seems to be the best way to get yourself close to the truth. The Martial God is just a liar, whether it is the person who comes to frame him or the person who comes to save him.
