Chapter 24: Hallucinations
Seto Sakura was leisurely selecting the shoes to wear today in the shoe cabinet, but Li Chenfeng suddenly went dark in front of him and entered a strange situation.
It was a completely flat space, covered with withered yellow leaves, but strangely there was not a single tree around.
The sky was dark, and the air seemed to be completely unmoving, and it was very hot.
Li Chenfeng stood there quietly, trying to struggle but his limbs couldn't move at all, and there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at him behind him, this feeling of panic, helplessness, and suffocation was really not very pleasant.
The fallen leaves under his feet became softer and softer, and his feet gradually sank in, followed by his legs and body, and the fallen leaves engulfed Li Chenfeng's body like a swamp, and now only one head was still exposed on the ground.
It's an illusion, Li Chenfeng knows this very well, but how can he break through this illusion?
He will not be harmed in the illusion, but his body in the real environment is in a state of godlessness, and he can only be slaughtered by others, and killing him is only a matter of moments.
In such an illusion, Li Chenfeng was really unbearable, this feeling seemed to be more painful than any torture, but his heart was more still afraid, if he was killed at this moment, then his divine consciousness might be trapped here forever, eternal life and eternal companionship with these dead leaves.
He felt scared, this fear can be said to be unprecedented, he had experienced a lot of winds and waves in the six months before this, and even hovered on the verge of life and death a few times, but there was no such feeling, a complete sense of despair.
He really never expected that he would come out of the ghost building of evil ghosts, and he came out of the pear orchard of a hundred years of grudges, and today he would be buried in a girl's room, next to a princess's bed, and at the feet of a Lori.
I don't know how long it took, anyway, Li Chenfeng felt that he had been tortured like a year, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he was buried in the pile of fallen leaves, and it was a faint red light.
He was still standing in Seto Sakura's room, standing in the position just now, the light filtered by the dark red curtains was still shining on the side of the bed at the angle just now, Seto Sakura had just put her feet in her shoes, which indicated that time had only flowed forward for a "moment", but Li Chenfeng felt as if he had been tortured in the pile of fallen leaves for a week, thinking about it was terrifying, this was really terrible.
Seto Sakura raised her head and smiled at Li Chenfeng.
"Get out of here. (Japanese)"
This time it was the voice of the girl who was clear and clear, although she couldn't understand what she was saying, but Li Chenfeng could feel a kind of kindness, and her eyes were completely different from just now, the same pair of eyes, different eyes, this was enough to see the change in a person's attitude, or the change in the person who controlled the body.
Seto Sakura waved her hand, Li Chenfeng finally understood what she meant, turned around without saying a word, pushed open the door and walked out.
The people outside the door were still waiting quietly, watching Li Chenfeng walk out, except for the mysterious young man, everyone else had expectant eyes, and Seto Yoshino walked a few steps forward tremblingly on crutches.
"How's it going?"
Li Chenfeng had a calm face and shook his head helplessly towards Mr. Longchen.
Takatomi sighed, Seto Yoshino looked even more disappointed, and then there was a palpitating calm, as if this result had been expected by him, or that it had verified that his suspicion had just been correct.
"Who's next?"
Mr. Longchen's tone did not change, indicating that he was still looking forward to the other two mages.
The mysterious black-clothed young man still didn't move, and Qiming slowly walked to the door with his Zen staff.
"I'll do it."
After Qiming entered the room, it was still very quiet inside, Lu Youwei asked Li Chenfeng in a low voice what happened inside just now, Li Chenfeng wanted to explain to her, because his heart was empty now, and it was when he needed to find someone to talk to him properly, but he really didn't know how to describe what had just happened, and that frightening feeling.
After about ten minutes, Qiming also walked out, his face with the same look as Li Chenfeng just now, Seto Yoshino pestle the crutches in his hand, and it seemed that there was no hope anymore.
Now there are only two results left, the first is that Ueno gets the bounty, and the second is that he also fails, no matter which result it is, it has no impact on Li Chenfeng.
Qiming's purpose here is to save people, so he very much hopes that the young man in black can succeed, and Li Chenfeng doesn't know the kind of person who doesn't care about himself and doesn't do anything, because as an exorcist, his original intention is to help people exorcise evil spirits and help people get rid of suffering, and the reward is secondary.
If the reward is put first, then he is really no different from those swaggering charlatans, in other words, as an exorcist, he should have the same idea as Qiming.
But somehow, deep down in his heart, he didn't really hope that Ueno could get rid of the demon spirit, not because he was afraid that the prize money would be robbed, but because a picture and a look appeared in his mind. That kind of look doesn't look like a person who has been tortured by demons, or that there is no pain in her eyes, it is a kind of satisfaction in life.
If the Man in Black succeeds, this near-perfect status quo seems to be broken.
This time, it took about half an hour for the young man in black to come out, and the whole process was also very quiet, there was no sound of fighting or arguing at all, but after he came out, the expression on his face was different from that of Li Chenfeng and Qiming, or his demeanor did not change at all, it was exactly the same as when he entered.
"How's it going?" Mr. Longchen is still so polite.
The young man in black didn't speak, and the muscular man who was his hand did it said with a smile, "Mr. Ueno has never missed. ”
Seto Yoshino's eyes suddenly lit up, and Keiaki's face also showed joy, in addition to admiration for Ueno.
At this time, Seto Sakura walked out of the room, cute hair accessories, blue pleated skirts, white stockings, and light brown leather shoes, these were all Li Chenfeng watched her put on, this is the girl he saw just now, but somehow it gave him the feeling that it was like two people.
Seto Sakura was very polite, and she greeted everyone present, including all the servants, and Seto Yoshino wept with joy and tears, and the fact that she walked out of the room by herself had not happened in the past month.
Therefore, almost everyone present firmly believed that the former Miss Seto had returned.
Cousin Mustard Tani took Seto Sakura's hand warmly, then kissed the back of her hand gentlemanly, and then he took out a beautifully wrapped gift box. It was a gift for Seto Sakura to get rid of the demon spirit, as if he knew someone could succeed before that.
The people of Seto Mansion were immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and Li Chenfeng and the others stood to the side in a daze, as if no one was willing to deal with it anymore.
Despite this, out of politeness, Seto Yoshino prepared a hearty lunch for everyone at noon on this day.
Seto Sakura is well, the entire Seto Mansion has regained its vitality, and no one cares about what the demon spirit that was eliminated is.
The mysterious young man named Ueno succeeded, and got a bounty that he would never spend in his life, but he was still very calm at the table, and there was not even any joy in his eyes.
Li Chenfeng finally believed that there are people outside the world, and he was really taught a lesson by this Japanese exorcism mage today.
After lunch, Li Chenfeng and the others had to leave Seto Mansion, compared to Ueno, although the people in Seto Mansion did not directly say that they were fake mages who cheated money, but it was their silent faces that made Li Chenfeng unbearable.
Leaving Seto Mansion, Zhou Ming and Lu Youwei didn't talk much, and the three of them walked forward in silence, but they really didn't know where to go as they walked, and they didn't have a penny on them.
"What's next?"
"What else can I do, let's find another bridge hole."
"You're not kidding, how are we going to get back home, and what are we going to eat tonight?"
After a short silence, Lu Youwei took Li Chenfeng's arm and asked, "Master, what is that demon spirit attached to Miss Seto, is she really that powerful, she can make you helpless, and has the power of Jin Dan been suppressed again?" ”
Jin Dan, Li Chenfeng only remembered that there was still a Heavenly Master Jin Dan in his body at this time, but what was the use? Jin Dan's scorching qi can increase the power of his attack and suppress the yin qi of the demon, but today's situation is that he doesn't even have a chance to make a move, if it weren't for the demon spirit to let him go, he might not even be able to save his life.
What you don't see in "The Thirty-six Laws of Tianyan", Li Chenfeng can often find the answer in Zhou Ming.
"What I know for sure is that she is not a corpse, not a ghost, not a spirit, she should indeed be a demon, but there is one thing...... Senior brother, do you know what demon is best at illusion? ”
Smoking is forbidden in Seto Mansion, so since he came out, Zhou Ming has smoked five shots in a row, and he took a sharp puff and spit out a smoke ring.
"If you want to talk about illusion, if the fox is the second, there is no demon who dares to call it the first, most of the techniques of the Heavenly Master Dao are aimed at corpses and ghosts, and there is indeed a lack of demons. It's not impossible to see through illusion, it's just that you're not there yet. ”
"As I guessed, it's really a fox, so the person named Ueno is indeed better than me, and his level is far above me."
Zhou Ming sighed. "Not necessarily, I don't see any Taoism from that person, I just think he's very fast."
Weird? Li Chenfeng put all his attention on Miss Seto Sakura before, and he really didn't pay too much attention to Ueno, so it seems that there are still a lot of people who are acting strange today, and there should be another one.
"Master Li, it turns out that you are here, why did you leave without saying a word."
In the crowd, Qiming, who was dressed in white, slowly walked towards them.
