Chapter 12: Into the Illusion Again
I looked at the wolves around me, and I wasn't too scared, but more excited! Such a scene has only appeared in my dreams, but now that it is in front of me, the excitement completely overwhelms the fear. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After a pause, I slowly stretched out my hand and touched the silver wolf in front of me in a mixture of excitement, fear, and joy.
When the soft and slightly warm touch of the palm of my hand came, the whole pack of wolves took a neat step towards me. At this moment, a consciousness suddenly sounded in my mind: "Aren't you afraid, boy? β
"Afraid! Of course I'm afraid! But fear doesn't solve anything, so instead of being scared because of fear, you might be able to break through with it. "I was quick to pass on my consciousness.
The wolf seemed to nod slightly, and then branched off a path behind it, and soon the little thing that had followed me a little earlier appeared in front of me. It slowly walked up to me, then stuck out its tongue and licked my hand, and then the wolves suddenly lay on the ground neatly, and the little thing also threw its head up and let out a long howl, and suddenly sprinted, and instantly sank into my chest.
I was suddenly shaken, and then I opened my eyes, and I saw myself lying on the ground, the water balls above me shaking violently and quickly turning into a flying drizzle. Rumeng and Mengcai often breathed a sigh of relief next to me, and then Rumeng asked in surprise, "By the way, how did you know the dream mantra before?" β
"What Dream Mantra?" I asked, a little puzzled.
"That's a spell created by our ant clan, to put it simply, it's almost the meaning of self-hypnosis, but unlike self-hypnosis, the dream mantra is self-guiding into an illusion, which is only effective when corresponding to a chain of interlocking puzzles like dreams within dreams." Meng Caiyi's eyes lit up as she spoke: "Huh? This is the only spell that can be used here, did you get that treasure? β
I raised my hand to look, and the flower split in half could be faintly seen in the occasional glimmer of light flowing in my palm. "But if that's the case, how did you return to the illusion here, and just now a powerful spiritual power seems to have erupted in your body, and now this illusion seems to be about to collapse." Rumeng said and pointed to the drizzle.
So I told them about the previous encounter, and Meng Caiyi looked at me in surprise: "If it is really according to what you said, then you should have the power of the wolf clan in your body, but they never care about the improvement of mental power?" Maybe the wolf you're depicting is a symbolic force. β
While we were chatting, the drizzle finally stopped, and a transparent staircase appeared in front of me, sprawling and spinning to the heights. I looked up and saw a small door at the top of the staircase, on which the tassels swirled and glowed softly. Rumeng and Meng Caiyi suddenly bowed to me, then waved to me with a light smile and disappeared in front of me.
I scratched my head and didn't know what they meant by bowing, and walked up the transparent staircase. After walking for a while, I casually looked at my feet, and my figure was reflected on the transparent staircase, which couldn't help but remind me of the mirror.
In a sense, glass and mirrors are both things that can reflect our figures, but because the mirror has a layer of tin foil pasted on the back of the mercury on the surface, it is easier to clearly reveal the image of the person. If this is the case, the glass staircase is also a mirror in a sense, but it does not have the function of inverting the image. I thought casually as I walked.
Finally came to the door, this is also a glass door, I quietly look at the outside world, although theoretically the outside is normal, but I have fully adapted to the world in the mirror but I feel a little awkward. Then I reached out and touched the glass door, and my hand magically passed through it, I withdrew my hand and knocked on the glass door, and the crisp sound proved that the glass door in front of me was real.
Faced with the obvious violation of scientific common sense in front of me, I just smiled casually and didn't have too much surprise. It was only then that I realized that I had been exposed to too many strange things in the last nearly a year, and I seemed to be more and more receptive to these strange things, and I don't know when I began to enjoy the snickering joy when people called me superior.
After some thought, I took a few long deep breaths and walked out. When I fully stepped out, the dream-like consciousness called me to look back, so I turned around, and saw a huge clam appear in front of me, two pieces of soft flesh slightly turned outward, and some crystal clear pearls could be faintly seen inside, but these pearls were not only all transparent, but each one had a miniature landscape slowly rotating in it.
"It's no wonder that the illusionary world is extremely real, and you have also discovered that the people in it even have their own consciousness, and at the same time, you also realize that the so-called person who can absorb other people is a manifestation of the autonomous consciousness of the object in front of you." Meng Caiyi seems to agree with what I said earlier.
Then I turned around and walked through the dense woods, and soon I heard the sound of running water in my ears. So I quickened my pace, and after walking for a long time I came to a river, where there was a wooden house. I pushed the door open and walked in, and there was only a table and two chairs, and in front of them was a huge mirror that shimmered like a swirling light.
I watched the whirlpool slowly spin around, and after communicating with Rumeng and the others for a while, I unanimously decided that this was most likely the passage to leave. So I walked into the whirlpool, a world full of gray flowing gases, and when I stepped on the channels formed by these flowing gases, I could not feel the flow of the gas at all, not even the wind generated by the flow.
With a surprised mood quietly walked to the end of the passage, there was a three-dimensional labyrinth of buildings in front of me, different lengths of cement poured out of many criss-crossing passages, I just wanted to step like a dream to stop me, and then she asked me to wait for the meeting, she went to explore the road first, and then entered after confirming that there was no danger.
When I was waiting for a lot of boredom, Rumeng's consciousness was anxiously transmitted: "You wait for me, I will immediately transmit the entire route to your mind, but I advise you to be mentally prepared, there is a scene you can't imagine at all!" Before I could ask what was going on, a road map was quickly passed in.
I followed the route map and walked in, and after a few turns I suddenly smelled a very pungent smell, and there was a faint sizzling sound in my ears. I asked Rumeng with my consciousness: "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with this path, why do I feel that something seems to be wrong ahead?" β
Rumeng didn't respond for a long time, so I frowned and continued to follow the route map. Soon I came to another corner, the smell became stronger, the strong stimulation made my lungs feel like they were going to burn, and the burning pain in my throat made my tears flow uncontrollably.
I swallowed a few gulps of spittle, then turned left along the original route map, and I was shocked by the sight in front of me. Not far in front of me was a large pile of corpses with severed arms, which were supposed to be rotten but were muffled by another strong smell, and some of the corpses also shrunk with a rumbling sound, and then turned into constricted strips of yellow-white mixed liquid, which seemed to be the pungent smell of the liquid.
As if sensing my presence, the severed arms of the corpses shook violently, and then slowly dissolved into a pile of viscous liquid-like objects, and the skeleton with only half of its face left stared at me at me, grinning from the corners of its mouth from time to time with a foul-smelling green liquid, and a puff of smoke came out as it dripped to the ground.
I suddenly remembered a documentary I watched when I was a child, about Unit 731, which conducted inhumane bacteriological research during the Japanese invasion of China. Could it be that the monster here is the product of the bacteriological army back then? Is there any grievance here? I couldn't help but think of the scene I experienced in Hangzhou earlier.
The monster's mouth opened wide, and a foul-smelling liquid rushed towards me like an arrow from a string, and I quickly flashed to the side, and suddenly the place where I had been standing was quickly smashed into a large crater, and the pungent smell accompanied by the light smoke rising straight into the sky.
Then a fog-like mass emerged from behind the monster, and when I looked closely, it was made up of countless human heads. Those heads were distorted with facial features, revealing sad and resentful feelings, and suddenly the wind was blowing between heaven and earth, and the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls was endless.
"Humph! Don't pretend to be a ghost, this little ordeal wants to scare me away, it's too naΓ―ve! I snapped.
"Hey, hey, that's not bad!" The monster grinned and spat out a clear voice: "But we didn't expect this synthetic carrion monster to capture you in the first place, I think you should also know, in order to thoroughly study the data of bacteria, we created thousands of corpses, so we indirectly created a powerful wraith, now let it fight you!" β
After saying that, the monster stood to the side, and suddenly the thick fog floated out. The fog quickly spread, and soon the place I was in turned into a haze, and then a fist appeared on my left side, but the surface of this fist was densely packed with rusty iron nails from the inside out!
I had just made a dodge motion when a mouth bit down my right shoulder. Then I saw the sticky lump of flesh squirting foul-smelling saliva at me with its mouth open.
As I tried to dodge, the fog that had been dispersed slowly shrank, and then the monsters that were still attacking violently just now quickly jumped out of the fog. I screamed and wanted to jump out, but the fog suddenly shrank into a mass the same size as mine, and then I felt the blood flow all over my body seem to slow down.
At this moment, a strong pain came from every cell in my body, followed by the inexplicable buzzing in my ears, the bitter taste in my mouth, the pain and itching in my nose and the hot stimulation in my eyes, I even felt for a moment what a wonderful thing death was.
"Don't you think death is such a beautiful thing? Or I'll help you get rid of this pain once and for all, so that you can enjoy the real happiness! There was a very coquettish voice in the thick fog.
"Humph! Don't play this game with me, I'm not without pain, don't think that everyone is the same, you really have the ability to kill me! I shouted loudly with my eyes closed.
"What are you doing here? Let's go, don't keep Meng'er sister waiting too long! Meng Caiyi's consciousness suddenly appeared in my mind, and it was then that I realized that I had been standing at the door of the labyrinth, and those sticky monsters and the like didn't appear.
"How long have I been standing here?" I quickly responded with consciousness.
"Well, it's not too long, but if you've encountered an illusion again, don't forget that your soul knife can also perform a spiritual impact now. And ghosts can only influence people's behavior through spiritual infection, so you can give it a go! Meng Caiyi's words suddenly made my eyes light up. (To be continued.) )
