Chapter 255: "I'll Wait for You. ”
It's a pity that after this sentence came out, he couldn't get a response for a long time, Xiao Chen didn't give up, and repeated it again, and the result was the same.
Chen Lanyu guessed: "The senior may have gone into retreat, and she mentioned before that she said that she would repair it...... Xiao Chen, don't worry, wait a little longer, maybe Tang Li will come out in a while. ”
Zheng Yuan echoed: "Yes, yes, it's useless if you're in a hurry." ”
Of course, Xiao Chen also believed in Tang Li, but he couldn't help but worry when he recalled what he had experienced in the phantom array.
What's more, Stupid is the apprentice of Shui Yu's predecessors, if she treats her more strictly than them, then the phantom array given to her will definitely be more difficult to break through.
If Senior Shui Yu really retreated, it didn't mean that she wasn't observing Benben, after all, the last time he communicated with her was a few days ago, and Benben had something wrong in the illusion, wouldn't he not be able to get help.
Just as Xiao Chen was thinking about how to solve it, Shui Yu's voice suddenly came: "Do you want to enter her phantom array? Of course your own phantom array has to break through by yourself, you can't even defeat yourself, what's the use of keeping her?" Or you give me a reason, why should I send you to her phantom array." ”
Xiao Chen replied: "There is no reason. ”
Hearing his answer, Shui Yu was slightly disgusted, like a stupid apprentice, how could he look at such a brainless stinky boy, and he didn't know how to say something good to beg her.
That's it, for the sake of his face that he has really broken through all her phantom arrays, let's satisfy him this time, it just so happens that she also feels that the stupid apprentice's situation is a little wrong.
Although it is best if the phantom array can break out by itself, it is not a good thing to stay in it for too long, someone goes to pull her, as long as she can successfully break the formation, it will be the same.
After all, it's tiring to walk alone, so it's nice to have someone who can help.
"My stupid apprentice's phantom array is indeed a bit weird, you can go in as you go, but let me warn you first, you may not be able to come out after you go in, and you may be trapped in it like her. ”
Xiao Chen didn't ask in detail, but said, "Thank you, senior." ”
Feeling the gaze behind him, Xiao Chen turned his head to look at Chen Lanyu and said, "Don't worry, I will bring her out." ”
Chen Lanyu nodded: "Well, you should also be more careful." ”
Hearing Shui Yu's words just now, Chen Lanyu could judge that the situation was not so easy to solve.
The phantom array of Shui Yu's predecessors is amplified and transformed by some thoughts in people's hearts, and everyone sees it differently, and he can't guess what Tang Li will conjure.
Although I was worried, I also wanted to go with me to take a look, but it was obviously not suitable, it was enough to have Xiao Chen go.
☆☆☆
When consciousness returned, Xiao Chen found himself sitting on a small bamboo chair peeling beans, and as soon as he paused slightly, the beans in his hand fell out, fell to the ground and rolled far away.
...... What's going on?
His mind was a little messy, and he always felt that he shouldn't be doing such a thing, but for a moment he couldn't figure out where this incongruous feeling came from.
He habitually looked around, a very unfamiliar environment, surrounded by mountains, there was a small house next to it, there was a winding path next to it, there seemed to be people in the distance, it should be a small remote village.
How could he be here in a place where he had no impression at all?
Xiao Chen frowned and recalled carefully, remembering that he had something to do, but there was something interfering with him, and he couldn't remember it at all.
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, look. When I thought about it carefully, there was a soft voice behind me, and it seemed that I hadn't heard it for a long time.
He turned his head and saw a fawn standing on top of him with a small bamboo basket containing some mushrooms, and she seemed to be in a good mood and walked a few steps towards him ostentatiously.
"Hehe, I'll improve your food, I'm not happy. ”
"Stupid?"
"Well, it's me. Tang Li put the small bamboo basket on the ground and asked speechlessly, "Why haven't you finished peeling it off, and you have dropped some of it, it's too careless." ”
"Stupid ......" Xiao Chen originally wanted to ask them where this was, but before the words could come out, he subconsciously stopped, always feeling that it was not suitable to ask this kind of question, so it was better to wait for him to go to the neighborhood later.
Tang Li tilted his head: "Hmm, is there something wrong?"
"No, I'll finish peeling these beans first, you go to the rest meeting, I'll cook and call you." ”
"Good. Tang Li nodded his head and ran back to the house happily, he had just picked so many mushrooms, and he was in a hurry to come back, he was really a little tired.
After peeling the beans at a faster pace and picking up the small bamboo basket next to him, Xiao Chen got up and walked to the small room that looked like a kitchen.
He put his things away, took a wooden basin and scooped a spoonful of water into the tank, and was suddenly stunned—he saw the reflection on the water, a childish face.
Does he look like this? Yes, his face is correct, but it's more like it used to be, and now it seems to be a little more mature.
What's going on? Not only is there a fault line in memory, but there is a sense of dissonance everywhere -- or is it because of the loss of memory that there is such a sense of dissonance? It is better to figure out what this place is first, otherwise there will always be a faint uneasiness in the heart.
Thinking so, Xiao Chen put down the wooden basin and walked towards the path he had just seen, and he slowly walked out along the path. It was a very quiet village, quieter than the village where he had been stupid at the beginning, and he didn't meet anyone along the way.
I walked past the first house I saw, but I couldn't hear any movement inside, as if it was uninhabited, although there were pigsty and chicken coops, there were no people and animals in them, and the same was true of the houses after that. Could it be that this village is uninhabited except for him and Ben Ben?
Suppressing the feeling of doubt that became clearer in his heart, Xiao Chen saw another path, which seemed to lead to the outside of the village. Just as he was approaching the entrance of the village, he keenly sensed that something was wrong, something seemed to be condensing in the sky, and when he looked up, he was surprised to find a strange symbol floating on it—it was a crimson exclamation mark—although Xiao Chen didn't understand what this strange symbol meant, he also felt a palpitation.
Then, a stupid and panicked voice came: "Xiao Chen! Stop! You can't leave here." ”
Xiao Chen turned his head and felt her panic, and took a few steps back, and the strange symbol disappeared, but the strange thought in his heart did not dissipate.
What's going on in the world?
Why is it so weird......
As soon as this thought came to mind, Xiao Chen's thoughts instantly became clear - yes, this is an illusion, and he asked Shui Yu's predecessor to send him into a stupid illusion array.
So this is an illusion formed by the things that are in the heart of the stupid.
Why did she prevent him from leaving, even like she was preventing him from coming into contact with other people?
Tang Li raised his head and looked at him, and said anxiously and fearfully: "Xiao Chen, didn't you promise me before that you would stay in this village with me for ten years, you can't sneak away without saying a word." ”
Xiao Chen froze.
In the stupid will, do you want him to stay here for ten years?
Thinking of Tang Li's performance before, he suddenly seemed to understand why she couldn't get out all the time, this was the world that she hoped to form.
She was afraid that he would come into contact with other people, and that he would find out that his physique would have any variables, so she trapped him here, wanting to live so plainly all the time, escaping everything outside.
Thinking about this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a little sad, leaned down and gently picked her up, and decided to make it clear with her.
"Stupid, I know you're scared of death in a year, but it's not a way to stay here, and when we get through this catastrophe, we'll leave and live the life you want. ”
Hearing this, Tang Li suddenly stiffened, and she looked at him in surprise: "Why do you know? You obviously haven't been in contact with Lan Shengyan, why do you remember? No, even if you come into contact with Lan Shengyan, there should be no memory of a dead end, the memory in Lan Shengyan's obsession is different from mine, no, no, I must have thought wrong...... No, do it all over again, start over ......"
As she muttered to herself, Xiao Chen found that the surrounding scenery was completely still, dead silent, and then as if it had been torn apart like crazy, it turned into a cloud of fragments—the illusion collapsed.
The fawn in his arms also fell out, he hurriedly reached out to grab Tang Li, but his consciousness was suddenly withdrawn, and when he woke up again, he found himself sitting under a tree, and the fawn next to him was sleeping soundly.
This is...... The first village.
He seemed to have underestimated the horror of this phantom array.
Xiao Chen lowered his eyes and looked at Tang Li next to him, his heart was filled with indescribable emotions, he knew that she was fleeing, and even felt that it was good to accompany her all the time to make her feel at ease.
But this was obviously impossible, he had to take her out of the illusion, and in the form of a broken formation.
Stabilizing his emotions, he raised his hand and patted her gently: "Stupid, wake up." ”
The fawn next to her moved, then opened her eyes to look at him, and after her eyes fell on his face, her sleepy eyes immediately widened, stunned, shocked, and frightened...... Countless emotions passed through her eyes.
Xiao Chen, who had been watching her, naturally didn't miss her reaction, and for a while, he couldn't tell what her emotions were aimed at him.
Then, he heard a voice that went straight into his head - "Could it be three weeks?!"
Is this feeling the first time I have experienced it, and it has been transmitted through the spiritual contract?
Puzzled for a moment, Xiao Chen remembered, after learning that she also had obsessions, she said the word "Erzhoumu", did she feel that she had failed the second time?
Xiao Chen picked her up and said seriously: "Stupid, listen to me, this is not the third week, I won't let you go through the third time, if you are really afraid, then just hide behind me, I will protect you." ”
After saying that, he carefully looked around to see if the illusion was showing signs of collapsing again. Originally, he wanted to accompany Stupid for a while, and then slowly find out, but when he thought of this kind of thing, Stupid had already experienced it many times, and he didn't want her to hide here.
The life she hoped for, when she got out of the dead end, he would naturally give it to her, no matter how difficult it was, it would be achieved, and there was no need to realize it in an illusion.
"......" Tang Li looked at him in surprise.
What was he talking about? He knew? But what did it mean if it wasn't three weeks? Not three weeks, so why would they go back to where they first met? How could they come back here if they weren't reborn.
Tang Li was startled.
By the way, there is another way to achieve it - the phantom array.
So they're in the Phantom Array now?
As soon as this idea came out, those broken memories were revealed little by little, Tang Li couldn't help but remember that she had come to break the master's phantom array, and in addition, the memories that had been repeated here several times had also recovered, and in an instant, she didn't know how to react.
She actually had such a terrible escape mentality.
Master's illusion array presents what she fears or cares about in her heart, and the reason why this illusion appears shows that what she fears most now is that she is afraid of failure and will die like a week.
But she thinks it's normal, if Erzhou really fails, maybe she will really do what happened in the illusion, she is afraid of pain and death, she will escape, want to avoid all this, isn't it normal.
Thinking of this, Tang Li felt very sad.
If they could, had the strength to solve these problems, who would want to make this choice? Fortunately, all of this was just an illusion, they didn't fail, and they still had a chance to struggle.
Xiao Chen didn't make a sound to disturb her, just carefully patted her back until she calmed down.
After her memories were restored, Tang Li's language ability was also restored, and she also found that Xiao Chen was different this time, and she opened her mouth and shouted, "Xiao Chen." ”
Xiao Chen quickly responded: "Yes." ”
"Are you really Xiao Chen?"
"yes. ”
...... It's a shame.
Having Shui Yu send the burning words into Zhu Lingxi's phantom array before, Tang Li naturally knew what was going on with Xiao Chen here.
So she hasn't broken the formation for too long, did Xiao Chen come over to pull her? I also said a big word before, saying that I would definitely go out earlier than him, but I was slapped in the face like this, and I really couldn't set up too many flags, and I couldn't collect it.
She would be embarrassed to look at him again for a while, seeing her like this, Xiao Chen understood that Tang Li had thought about it, and he relaxed a little, and a smile was dyed on his face.
Now that she understood what this place was, it would be easy to break the formation.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Tang Li's voice coming again: "I don't want to hide behind you." ”
Xiao Chen knew that she was responding to what he said earlier, and after a pause, he proposed, "Then, I will protect you, and in exchange, you will protect me." ”
Tang Li was very satisfied with his proposal, raised her head to look at him, her beautiful eyes were shining, and she nodded: "Hmm!"
She felt that Xiao Chen in front of her seemed to be a little different, since he had arrived in her phantom array, it meant that through his own phantom array, he had already defeated the inner demon?
There are too many questions in my heart, but it is not suitable to ask questions now, and the most important thing is to break out first.
"Xiao Chen, you go out first, I'll come out right away. ”
Originally, he wanted to stay here and accompany her to solve it, but after hearing her say this, Xiao Chen agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside." ”
