"If you kill me, the demonic beasts here will completely lose control, and the demonic beasts that have lost control will resolutely carry out the original orders. That means I'm dead, and none of your companions will leave here alive. ”

Chen Mu was shocked when he heard this, and looked up at the position of the command room, only to see that the door of the command room had been completely broken at some point, and the demonic beasts that had no longer had any obstacles attacked the room one after another, and the sound of fierce fighting and shouting came from the room.

"With your strength, you may be able to escape by yourself, but what about the others, can they escape?"

As the professor spoke, more demonic beasts appeared around and rushed towards the command room.

"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try, it depends on whether you dare to use these people to bury me, or do you think that the lives of these people are not a big deal, and the most important thing is to kill your enemies with your own hands." The professor said jokingly.

"If you don't want to die, order all the monsters to retreat immediately." Now it was Chen Mu's turn to feel anxious.

"Are you really naïve, or am I a fool, if I order the monster to retreat, I'm afraid you will fall on me in the first place." The professor had a certain expression and continued to speak, "Put down your weapon, take this 'forbidden demon' handcuff, and I'll let your companion leave safely." ”

The professor took out a pair of handcuffs from his bosom and still held them at Chen Mu's feet.

"Ridiculous, you think I'm going to take your word for it." As soon as Chen Mu's hand tightened, blood immediately flowed from the professor's neck.

"My target is only you, and I dare not be interested in other people's lives."

"You know very well in your heart that you have only two choices at this moment: kill me, and your companion will bury me; Or tie your hands and let your companion out safely. ”

"If you want to make a decision, you have to make it too early, and if you drag it out, I'm afraid your companion won't be able to withstand it."

After the professor finished speaking, his eyes closed and he no longer looked at Chen Mu.

Seeing the professor's fearless look, a thought arose in Chen Mu's heart for no reason - the professor was not lying.

The right hand that had been holding the long knife steadily began to tremble slightly, looking at the professor in front of him, and his companions who were already in crisis not far away, Chen Mu was in a dilemma for a while.

On the one hand, the enemy who dreams of stabbing can now be solved with a light force; On the other hand, his comrades-in-arms, who have fought side by side with him for many years, are suffering from danger and waiting for their rescue.

And Chen Mu, who could only choose to complete one of them, was caught in the battle between heaven and man.

"Hands-on"

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from Chen Mu's mind.

"What are you still hesitating about, don't you want to avenge Luo Yan? Sanctioning the professor has been your wish for many years. ”

"What have you worked so hard to become stronger all these years, and what is the purpose of your formation of this demon hunting group, everything is for this moment of stabbing the enemy."

"Take 10,000 steps back, you know how much harm this person has done to society, if sacrificing the lives of these 20 people can save the safety of thousands of people in the future, isn't this decision worth it?"

"Do it, you can become a hero with this sword, you can do what no one else can do, and you will be admired by everyone......"

......

...... Except for myself.

Chen Mu exhaled lightly, his eyes showed firmness, he let go of the hand holding the knife and let the long knife fall to the ground: "I will never exchange human life, I choose to be captured, you will release my companion immediately." ”

Chen Mu said this to the professor, but also to himself.

The professor, whose eyes were closed, suddenly opened his eyes, he looked at Chen Mu deeply, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face, and then the figure began to slowly fade in front of Chen Mu.

Not only the professor's figure, but also the demonic beasts around him, the command room not far away, and the shouts in the command room, all the scenes began to fade away.

What's going on

Chen Mu was startled by the sudden change, and at this time, a feeling of dizziness rushed into his brain. Chen Muxian's brain ached, and then the scene in his eyes changed, and he found himself standing in a lit room at the moment.

It was as if nothing had ever happened just now, but Chen Mu's memory of this experience was still vivid.

What's going on? Was it a hallucination? I've been in this room all the time?

But the illusion is too real, and nothing in the scene, including the touch, detects anything wrong.

No, I remember, it's logic, everything that just happened is too unreasonable in logic.

First of all, the image of the professor has not changed in the past few years, it is exactly the same as the memory in my mind, and even the clothes have not changed. The second is why I would follow the words of the professor in the illusion, and why I would believe the professor's words so easily, which is not reasonable at all.

At last......

...... The voice that appeared in my head was the voice of Senior Feng at all......

"Senior Feng, are you there? It turns out that this is the 'test' of the inner courtyard. Chen Mu shouted into the empty room.

"Looks like you've guessed, so I don't need to explain more." The door of the room opened automatically, and Feng Yangqing's figure appeared in the room.

"Congratulations on passing the test." Feng Yangqing said with a smile.

After hearing this result, Chen Mu's heart was happy, but he was unexpectedly not as excited as he imagined, thinking of his struggle just now, he hesitated for a moment and said to Feng Yangqing: "Senior Feng, can I ask you some questions?" “

"Well, you ask." Feng Yangqing said gently.

"I should have been dragged into the illusion by Senior Feng just now, the purpose is to test whether I will give up the opportunity to kill my own enemies in order to save my companions, but can this really test my 'heart'?" Chen Mu said suspiciously.

"Ha, are you doubting your own nature or are you questioning my abilities." Feng Yangqing said funny.

"No, no, no, I didn't question what Senior Feng meant, it's just that I ...... It's just that I did hesitate just now, and for a moment I really wanted to kill the professor regardless of whether other people's lives could be saved. ”

"This ...... Is this my true 'nature'? ”

Looking at Chen Mu, whose voice became deeper and deeper the more he spoke, Feng Yangqing touched his chin and said, "I understand what you mean, it's normal for you to have this kind of thought, let me explain it to you briefly." ”

"Actually, I didn't pull you into any illusion just now, you were just hypnotized just now, in fact, everything you have experienced is in your own construction of dreams, everything that happens in it is what you think, and I only play a part of the role of guidance."

What the???

Everything that just happened was in a dream? Am I actually dreaming? Chen Mu opened his mouth in surprise.
