Chapter 55: The Path Leads to the Quiet (1/2)
"It's back again."
"It's been going around in circles."
Saber and Qi Xiaoxiao talked about their feelings one after the other. There seems to be no end to this long road, and no matter how you move forward, you will return to the path you came from when you reach the very end.
The short staircase at the entrance of Liudong Temple seems to have become a moat that can never be alone.
"What should I do?" C.C. walked up to Liu Mengchao's side and asked softly with a frown. The girl's amber eyes shimmered slightly in the moonlight, waiting for Liu Mengchao's answer.
What to do......
Liu Mengchao didn't have an idea for a while, he looked at the phantom of the assassin Sasaki Kojiro standing in the distance with some confusion, and couldn't help but ponder.
The principle of illusion, Liu Mengchao is not particularly clear, but judging from some of the materials he has read, it may just deflect some of his senses, allowing his footsteps to spin back and forth.
In other words, it's like walking alone in the woods. If there is no specific reference, then when the person walks longer, he will find that he has been walking in circles all the time, and has not walked in a straight line as he thought.
Eyes, can deceive. Whether it is someone else, or oneself, you will be deceived by your own eyes.
"Maybe we can start here."
Liu Mengchao frowned slightly, thinking about the theories he had seen. If you start from here, then you are now walking in the woods, and your only reference is the phantom of the assassin Sasaki Kojiro in front of you.
The group moved forward, chasing the phantom of the assassin Kojiro Sasaki, but the phantom of the assassin Kojiro Sasaki kept disappearing and appeared on the stairs farther away.
All these illusions do not exist in isolation.
There must be a reason for this.
Liu Mengchao thought, stopped Saber's pace, and stepped forward alone.
Facing the phantom of the assassin Kojiro Sasaki. Liu Mengchao stood motionless, looking directly into the eyes of the heroic spirit.
"What is Liu Mengchao doing?"
"Has he found his way out?"
"It seems that there is no ......," Qi Xiaoxiao said a little worried, but a little deflated. Liu Mengchao's strengths, Qi Xiaoxiao has always known the Tao very clearly, he can effortlessly figure out the psychology of any person, as long as someone reacts, Liu Mengchao can use the most subtle psychological activities to push back the other party's thoughts.
But if you just face this puzzle that seems to have no answer, it is really difficult for Liu Mengchao to deduce this answer.
So to speak...... Liu Mengchao's ability. To others, it seems more like an intuitive manifestation than the result of a series of sophisticated logical thinking.
Qi Xiaoxiao's heart was full of worry, and Saber also stopped, staring at Liu Mengchao who was contemplating in the moonlight. The people who fought and cooperated in the Holy Grail War now stand quietly in front of Kojiro Sasaki, looking for the key to free the labyrinth.
It's just that this key seems to have been hidden, can Liu Mengchao find it?
Saber's heart was full of worry. She couldn't help but look at the only woman of the three who was smiling.
Her long, pale green hair hung down to her waist, rising and falling slightly in the night breeze. A pair of eyes that seem to be smiling all the time tell the beauty of this woman with a delicate face like a doll.
Her thin lips curled slightly. A smile crept up the corner of her mouth at this time.
He ...... Figured it out. “
C.C. chuckled.
"Figured it out!?" Qi Xiaoxiao subconsciously exclaimed, and once again set his eyes on Liu Mengchao's body, looking forward to Liu Mengchao's next move.
"Wait!"
Liu Mengchao turned his head and said suddenly, his right hand reached behind his back. Slowly, he drew the sword of rebellion that glowed silver in the moonlight.
After speaking, Liu Mengchao didn't wait for Qi Xiaoxiao and his party to react, and the whole person flew away.
The flash of the explosion. Just in an instant, it erupted in front of Liu Mengchao's body, and the continuous firelight, like fireworks reflecting the sky, completely covered Liu Mengchao's figure.
Qi Xiaoxiao's silver eyes widened, carefully searching for Liu Mengchao's every move, every ups and downs, and every footstep falling.
Then she saw a silver light and shadow that suddenly lit up in front of Kojiro Sasaki.
"Poof!"
The detonation talisman that jumped from the ground was directly cut through the middle by Liu Mengchao and galloped towards both sides. Liu Mengchao's figure also stopped at this moment, quietly looking at the detonating charm that flew past him and was split into two halves.
"Bang! Boom! ”
After the two explosions sounded, the corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled, and the figure disappeared again.
What happened to him, no one knows. Whether it was Qi Xiaoxiao, or saber, or C.C., they all stood quietly in place, watching Liu Mengchao's figure, like a sharp arrow, shooting directly forward, constantly breaking Sasaki Kojiro's phantom, and then constantly splitting the detonation charm from the middle, allowing the explosion to explode on both sides of the steps.
Finally, Liu Mengchao's figure has approached the gate of Liudong Temple.
I saw Liu Mengchao's figure swoop suddenly, and the whole person had disappeared.
"He succeeded!?" Saber said with some surprise.
"It doesn't seem to be ......" Qi Xiaoxiao shook his head, turned around, and Liu Mengchao had already appeared at the beginning of the steps.
What to do?
Qi Xiaoxiao frowned, unable to think of a solution. Saber also frowned slightly, subconsciously looking at Liu Mengchao, waiting for his explanation.
"Found a way."
Liu Mengchao shouted loudly.
Whoosh, three figures flew to Liu Mengchao's side, and as soon as the wheezing sound sounded, Liu Mengchao had already laughed.
"We've all fallen into a psychological trap."
"Psychological traps?" Qi Xiaoxiao subconsciously repeated Liu Mengchao's words.
"That's right, it's a psychological trap." Liu Mengchao nodded and pointed to his feet.
"The blood has been covering the steps, and we can't help but want to step on the blood, and when we see the steps, we subconsciously want to climb the steps."
"You mean......" C.C. curled the corners of his mouth and slashed around him, "but we have another way?" ”
"Hmm." Liu Mengchao nodded, "That's right, there are other ways." ”
As he spoke, Liu Mengchao walked to the side, ignoring Sasaki Kojiro, who was erected like a benchmark in front of him, and instead stood directly on the grass next to the steps.
"This is the right way to go."
"Are you sure?" Saber asked subconsciously, but Liu Mengchao just smiled, his face full of confidence.
"I split the detonation charm in half just now, but the detonation charm flying left and right didn't affect the surrounding environment. In other words......
"Only the illusion that has been applied on the top of the stairs?"
"That's it."
"So ......"
"As long as we pass by the side of the steps, we will naturally be able to reach Liudong Temple."
Liu Mengchao said, raised his head directly, looked at the temple that was completely hidden in the dark, and the corners of his mouth curled up with disdain.
The so-called illusion is nothing more than that.
And in the distance, suddenly there were two faint laughs.
"They found out?" Staring at his scarlet eyes, Shirakira said with a smile to the people around him.
"Hmm." The interrogator's eyes were completely white, a bleak white, "Bai Hua, your illusion has indeed been discovered by them." “
"These reincarnators are smart people." The man known as Chen Jun smiled and shook his head, "But for such a long time, Wang Yiran should have already negotiated with Yan Feng Qili, right?" ”
"Naturally, it was negotiated, and this was the best choice for them." Chen Jun smiled and said, "We can't find out who of them is, but we can kill them all here." ”
"And not through our hands......"
"It won't be erased."
The two reincarnators looked at each other and smiled, silently watching the figures of Liu Mengchao and his party disappear into the darkness. (To be continued......)
