Chapter 16: Inside and Out of Prison

Rewind time to a few days ago, Riverbend New Town Mage Prison.

It had been more than a day since Xiao Chen and Tang Feng came here, but no one had come to see them except for the guards who delivered the food, and there was no arraignment or questioning.

In addition to trying to cultivate, the two of them are reading books in a daze, and their days are extremely boring.

"Something isn't right. Are we abandoned?" Tang Feng put down the one in his hand and said, "Can you feel that now?"

Xiao Chen shook his head slightly.

The one Tang Feng said was referring to Xiao Chen's own doppelganger, after they arrived at Hewan New City the night before, Xiao Chen took advantage of Jiang Yitian's inattention, and when he passed by a house, he projected a doppelganger of himself through a wall.

According to Xiao Chen's inference, after locking them up, those people would naturally make some moves, no matter what they were doing outside, a clone walking outside would be able to observe their every move, and then react, and could also transmit this information to him in time.

But he didn't expect that he would be imprisoned in the mage prison, the mage prison suppressed the spiritual power, and naturally suppressed his connection with the doppelganger, he can only vaguely feel the existence of that doppelganger now, but he can't transmit any information.

"It's not too long for us to dry for more than a day, so be patient. Jiang Yitian: If they don't come to us, the rest of the committee won't let us be locked up here. Xiao Chen said.

"The point is that you can't do anything, there's a feeling of being out. Here and outside are two isolated worlds. Tang Feng said.

"Two worlds?" Xiao Chen's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, "I'm going to try to enter meditation, you help me look at it." ”

"Hey, meditate now?" Tang Feng didn't understand what trick Xiao Chen was doing.

Xiao Chen sat down in the room and began to prepare to enter the parallel world with the Dream Travel Method. No one could have imagined that his path to the other world was not anywhere, it was in his consciousness.

Through continuous cultivation, Xiao Chen has gradually mastered the trick of traveling through the two worlds, and he no longer needs to try his luck or expect some kind of blessing to be able to perceive that world. Even if he continues to meditate for a period of time, he can break through the barriers of the world and maintain his own consciousness communication with the other world.

He fixed the connection between the two worlds in his meditative world, making a door in his seaside villa.

This door was located in a room on the third floor of the villa, and it looked no different from an ordinary door, but no one in his meditation world could see the existence of this door except Xiao Chen himself. Neither can they, including Tasia. And even Xiao Chen needed to concentrate his energy in order to hold the handle of that door and open it.

And now Xiao Chen is standing in front of the door, Kona and Elaina are both injured and sleeping, and Tasia has also consumed too much energy in the last battle, and now only Xiaobai is swimming beside him.

Xiao Chen touched its head: "Take good care of them." If they wake up, let them be patient and wait for me. ”

Xiao Bai nodded in the air very humanely, and then coiled in a circle in the air, watching Xiao Chen's movements.

Xiao Chen focused his mind on the doorknob, and then reached out to open the door, behind which was a black world with a little light, which looked like a starry sky. Xiao Chen walked into this door, his consciousness seemed to have passed through a time and space tunnel, countless muttered sounds and strange colors occupied his senses, I don't know how long it took for these perceptions to dissipate, the world around him became clear again, all kinds of meaningful noisy sounds began to enter his ears, and his vision became condensed, and the first thing he saw was the familiar and reassuring pretty face.

This is a hot pot restaurant, and Luo Ling, who is sitting opposite him, is holding a piece of mutton with chopsticks, ready to put it in the pot. When Xiao Chen arrived, she seemed to feel something, the chopsticks paused in the air, and then put the mutton into the pot and soaked it for a while.

"See you again. Luo Ling's lips curled slightly, put the mutton on the plate, dipped it in the sauce, blew twice, and then put it in her mouth.

"Sorry to disturb your free time. Xiao Chen found that he was also holding chopsticks, but a ball on the chopsticks had fallen on the table, and as soon as he looked at it, the ball jumped into the pot by itself.

"It's not an intrusion, actually. Luo Ling narrowed her eyes, looked at his face carefully, and asked, "Are you still working overtime to write a manuscript tonight?"

"No, I already posted one article yesterday, and I already have a lot of ideas for the next one, so let me take a breath today. Xiao Chen said these words almost without thinking, which surprised him, "This is ......"

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there were many more things in his mind naturally, and these things did not suddenly rush into his mind, but seemed to be there. It's like having a big room full of things at both ends, but there is a curtain in the middle that divides the room in half, and the current state is just someone gently putting the curtain away. Put the things in the room back together, without the slightest abruptness or weirdness, as if everything was meant to be.

"Your ...... The fusion is also one step closer, and it is getting closer and closer to the state of two-in-one. Luo Ling looked very calm, as if he had known about this for a long time, "Originally, when you came over, he would always fall into a coma and wake up, but now, you were just stunned for a moment and let go of the chopsticks in your hand." ”

"You know so clearly, have you and her reached this state?" Xiao Chen supported his forehead with his hand, and a feeling of confusion and worry unconsciously appeared in his heart.

"We, no, should be ahead of you. I'm having dinner with you right now, and at the same time, I'm outside Kuroki Pass, observing the whereabouts of the Imperials. This kind of fusion happens almost every day, and I seem to have gotten a little used to this me, that me, it's all my feelings. Luo Ling said.

Seeing that Xiao Chen was silent, she immediately understood what question he was struggling with: "Are you still worried about losing yourself?"

"So you know. Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I mean, although you and her have very similar experiences, but later, because of the relationship between the crossing, you actually embarked on different paths and are already different people." Don't you feel that one you are being swallowed up by the other? Just like me, because of the relationship experience, there have been some changes in personality, he is gentler, and I am more cold. If we merge into one person, who is the real Xiao Chen?"
