【Chapter 91】The Doctor Girl
The moment Yu Moji stepped on the stairs, the crows behind him suddenly fell silent.
Startled by the sudden silence, she looked back at the crows, only to find that there was no way back.
Not only is there no road, but there is also no light. It was as if she was in a void, and even her own existence was doubtful.
She cautiously reached for it, and noticed a wall appear in the open area behind her.
The speed of change is certainly not something that can be done by humans. Yu Moji's first reaction was to pinch his fingers fiercely. She really used a lot of strength, and in an instant she was so painful that tears were about to burst out. But the pain didn't succeed in dragging her out of the darkness.
What kind of hallucination can be so strong that even the most difficult sense of touch can be changed, and not even pain can disintegrate it?
The scene was indeed treacherous, but after the momentary alarm, Yu Moji gradually calmed down.
The time in the cypress forest, she panicked because she didn't realize that she was hallucinating before.
It's different here. Because the difference from reality is too great, every change around him is telling Yu Moji that all this is not real. She had learned the truth of despair, helplessness, and death, coming and going in absolute darkness several times, and this false trick of the senses could not frighten her.
She couldn't see at the moment, so she reached out and looked around. As soon as I turned around, I noticed that there was a faint halo at the other end of the stairs. Yu Moji smiled. It's okay, she's probably not blind yet.
At this point, no matter how slow she reacts, she should be able to tell. These hallucinations were so purposeful that each change led her to the other side of the ladder. With little hesitation, he decided to go down and see what the illusionist wanted her to see.
How else could it be? Even though she knew that everything around her was unreal, she had no way to get out.
With that faint and vague halo, Yu Moji reached out and grabbed the wall to one side, and walked down the stairs at a very slow pace. With every step she took, she tried to spread her power in all directions. That way, even if one of the stairs under her feet suddenly disappeared — and who knows if the person manipulating her hallucinations would have done so — she wouldn't be able to suck herself against the wall like a gecko, but she would have given herself some time to react.
The staircase is circular and has a very limited length of vision. Yu Mochen felt that she had probably turned a dozen complete circles, and her head was a little dizzy, but the halo that came from nowhere was still unrelenting and waiting not far in front of her.
This is really torturous, Yu Moji thought to himself, no wonder the power that used medicine to reproduce dead relatives back then was bombarded by the enemy to the point that there was not even scum left. Yu Moji forcibly held his breath, and he was already a little unable to hold his breath. How agitated should a sergeant who is constantly harassed by hallucinations on the battlefield be? After all, it is difficult to ask a man who has utterly lost patience to show mercy to hostile forces.
After a long time, the scene ahead finally changed again. As far as the eye can see, a door can be seen. There was light in the door, and there seemed to be people, but they couldn't see clearly.
There was no way for her to walk straight over. Because the long and tortuous staircase has come to an end. Between the last step and the door, there was nothing. When Yu Moji came closer to look, it was still pitch black, and it was hard to say whether the darkness was a deliberately hidden floor slab or a bottomless pit. She kept her balance and reached out to step on it, but nothing touched it.
What's going on? Yu Mochen was a little angry in his heart. The other party forcibly lured her in this strange way, and now she is not allowed to pass, how can she be good?
If Ink Marks could wear the armor at this moment, then she could step over it in one step with the help of the power provided by the mecha box; No matter how bad it is, if there is the kind of hook that Yuan Yizhi used, the remaining ink marks may also be able to swing through.
But in order to hide her identity, when she went to the Xuannu Temple, her weapons were hidden in the hut rented by her and Yuan Pingzhi; Later, when Yuan Pingzhi came back, she only had time to bring the military badge that Yu Moji had given him—it was given to Yuan Pingzhi for safekeeping when she came here, and he probably hid it with the light armor.
Anyway, the ink marks are just bare hands now. After all, she was only flesh and blood, and there was nothing she could do about this wide ravine.
At this moment, a burst of ethereal singing floated over. Yu Moji immediately shook his head. The singing voice was very soft, but it seemed like a thunderbolt to her ears - she was not educated in music, and she was not good at singing and playing, but she could hear it, and the tune was no different from the flute played by the holy woman of the Xuannu Temple.
Sure enough, it's a ghost taught by the Xuannu.
In addition, the singing voice also made Yu Moji feel familiar. She just couldn't tell whose voice it was for a while.
As the song sounded, there was a change in front of Yu Moji's eyes. In the void in front of them, black lotus flowers rose one after another, forming a path to the opposite door.
Yu Moji stepped on it again this time, and it was actually real. Those lifelike lotus flowers were originally carved out of stone. If Yu Moji didn't know that it was an illusion, he would probably think that there was some special mechanism under these lotus flowers.
Since the other party has created a path for her, is there any reason not to use it?
Yu Moji took a deep breath, cheered himself up, and walked up.
This lotus path is very narrow, and in the middle of the road, Yu Moji has no way to reach the walls on both sides, and she can't even find a place for auxiliary support, so her hands are useless, so she can only concentrate on her feet, so as not to accidentally distract herself and fall down from the road specially prepared for her.
But when she reached the middle, the petals of the lotus flower were suddenly put away, and she was about to sink back into the bottomless darkness at the feet of the ink marks.
Yu Moji's heart instantly caught fire.
The man who manipulated the illusion was willing to give her a way to go, and she followed it; But the other party suddenly became difficult, how could she be willing to fall down after the other party's wishes? Impatience and anger intertwined in her heart, forcing her to fight hard and jump out.
When Yu Moji walks on flat ground, it may be difficult to walk so straight. But at this moment, the situation was urgent, and her potential was forced out, and she actually managed to jump to the opposite side with a few lotus flowers that were falling rapidly.
These few plays really greatly exceeded Yu Moji's usual level, and she almost exhausted all her strength. As soon as she hit the ground, she quickly propped her palms against the wall, gasping for breath as she tried to calm her nervous mind.
At such a close distance, the singing voice and the figure in the door gradually became clear. Yu Mojian stabilized his mind and decided to take the initiative, so he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push the door open.
Inside the door was a woman with her back to the ink marks, and it was from her mouth that the song came from her mouth. She sat on her knees, with a chain tied to her foot that led somewhere. Her long black and blue hair was stacked on her shoulders from her tattered clothes.
Suddenly, there was no way to take another step forward.
"Who are you?" Her voice was calmer than ever, for her heart was terrified.
The woman who was singing slowly turned her head, and the face of Yu Moji's mother, like a flower that could only bloom for a moment, quickly withered, revealing the white bones of Senran.
Yu Moji fainted.
When she came to her senses again, she had already returned to the room that the official had arranged for her. She was lying on the bed, without changing her clothes, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Ling Ai taking care of her from the side.
Yu Moji rubbed his painful head. She didn't expect to see Ling Ai here, could it be that this is some kind of hallucination?
Or was she just having a nightmare herself?
She had dreamed of her mother's death countless times before, but none of them were so strange and so real.
Seeing that she was awake, Ling Ai stepped forward to look at her carefully for a while, showed a comfortable smile, and said, "It seems that it should be fine." ”
Yu Moji was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong with me?" ”
Ling Ai said, "When did you eat 'Seeing Confusion', why didn't you say anything to it?" ”
"'Seeing Confusion'?" Yu Moji thought hard for a moment before he said, "When I was in the Xuannu Temple, I was disturbed by the fog and was a little dizzy. The saint there said that there was something called pepper that helped me stay awake and kept me under my tongue...... Then something went wrong, and I swallowed it......"
Ling Ai sighed and said, "They coaxed you." Not only does this drug not wake you up, but it can cause many hallucinations when consumed. Strange to say, the residents of this place have more or less some symptoms of being hit. I don't know how the Xuannu Temple puts the medicine. ”
"General Yuan also had some hallucinations before...... Yu Mojin guessed, "Maybe it has something to do with those strange fogs behind the Xuannu Temple?" ”
"It's hard for me to tell the real cause before I go to check it myself. Anyway, I'm glad I arrived just in time. I have already pulled out the medicinal power of this 'seeing confusion' for you, even if there are some sequelae, if you rest for a while, supplemented by medicinal stones, you should be able to recover. Ling Ai said, handing Yu Moji a glass of water, and said, "With Zhi and Yan Zheng, we will search this yamen." ”
Yu Moji's face couldn't help but turn red. She really wanted to ask Yuan Yizhi's whereabouts, but she didn't ask.
She was a little surprised in her heart, why did Yan Zheng come too?
Ling Ai said, "I feel very guilty in my heart - he said that he just left for a while, and you are gone, the door of the house is open, and the clothes are blown outside by the strong wind, and he has never returned." As soon as this incident came out, he couldn't trust the officials here, so he had to look for a night by himself, and finally he didn't know what traces of the demon law he found, and he actually found you at the entrance of the dungeon. ”
Yu Mochen lowered his head and said, "General Yuan is careful. ”
If she and Yuan Yizhi changed roles, they would probably only think that the other party was called to socialize again, and they wouldn't notice anything wrong that meant they were missing.
She was very tired, and she had always been more casual in front of Ling Ai, so she planned to lie down again and sleep for a while, but when she was about to put down the water glass, she suddenly heard a crow's cry.
That's probably what Ink Marks hates the most right now. She was so shocked that she almost knocked over the water, and hurriedly asked Ling Ai, "Did you hear that?" ”
Ling Ai glanced at her inexplicably, suddenly understood, and hurriedly said, "As you told me, you had hallucinations about crows before...... It's okay. It was a real crow just now. ”
Yu Moji was slightly relieved. She knew that Ling Ai had family medicine and knew many ways to detoxify. The demon method of the Xuannu Sect is probably useless to Ling Ai.
In other words, even if she and Yuan Zhidu were tricked, what Ling Ai saw and heard must be true and credible.
Thinking of this, Yu Moji's brows suddenly furrowed.
Yuan Zhizhi said that hallucinations are often based on the understanding of certain things by the person who is recruited, and the real details are added by themselves.
So is the Ling Ai who suddenly appeared in front of him, but very much in line with Yu Moji's impression, real, or is it some kind of hallucination?
