In the dense forest in the middle of the night, Michelle and Anne still went forward one after the other, leading Gu Bei forward. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And in Gu Bei's mind, the mechanical voice kept ringing, repeating an obscure sentence back and forth.

It was the spell that Anne pronounced when she used magic.

"If you really want to learn magic, just ask the two of them directly, what's the use of letting me repeat it here. After repeating the spell countless times, it seemed that even the system was a little overwhelmed, and complained to Gu Bei.

"Then the two of them have to be willing to teach me, not beat me to the point of losing too much blood. ”

Gu Bei didn't have a clue yet, but he didn't give up:

"Don't stop, keep going. ”

After discovering the magic of the system, he had been studying the spell for half an hour.

Michelle also led them forward for half an hour. According to her, the location of the treasury is already very close. After about an hour of walking, they were able to get there.

Gu Bei was very happy, yes, he was really happy about this.

From the basement to the location of the treasure house, the road was hell for him. dragged his almost collapsed body, was chased by Anne behind, and from time to time he had to be whipped. If this road is a little longer, it is estimated that he will really die on the road!

At the same time, he had to endure the pressure of death at any time, fearing that Michelle would find out something, and then click himself.

Under the double torture, he hoped to arrive soon.

"You see that you are so weak now, you must not be able to learn magic, you can spare my life!" After playing it hundreds of times, the system crashed a little.

"No, I'll just listen to the song, the single loop. ”

Gu Bei didn't plan to let it go.

How can we let go of spam messages that were so enjoyable before? This is called a causal cycle, and retribution is unpleasant.

Regarding magic, he couldn't find any way to learn it at the moment, and the only information was such a spell, which he certainly wouldn't take lightly. As the saying goes, read a book a hundred times to see its meaning, and mantras are probably no exception.

I don't feel anything if I do it once or twice, so let's do it a thousand times and ten thousand times!

He knew that the dumbest way worked best.

"Honestly, instead of clinging to spells, think about how you can escape. The system began to persuade earnestly, "You can learn magic slowly in the future, but if you die, even if you learn this spell completely now, it will be useless." ”

Gu Bei thought for a while and nodded:

"Hmm...... You have a point. ”

Hearing this, the system felt like it was about to cry, and the mechanical sound magically brought a hint of trembling, as if a lost traveler in the desert had suddenly found a water source.

Finally, I don't have to repeat that spell anymore!

Then, it heard Gu Bei say again:

"In that case, have you thought of a way to escape?"

The system crashes again.

Gu Bei seemed to hear the sound of the circuit board breaking.

No matter how reluctant it was, the system began a single cycle of spells.

Once, twice, three times...... Gu Bei threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart and gradually focused his mind here. And in the process, things in the outside world begin to blur and fade away. His whole world, all he had was left with that spell.

Esoteric, incomprehensible, miraculous...... incantations

Slowly, he put away all his senses, as if out of his body.

Entered a strange state.

His pupils became lighter in color and stopped moving, like a blind man. Breathing and blood flow also quietly slowed, and he felt nothing at the sharp stones piercing the soles of his feet.

Anne didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. In her opinion, Gu Bei's body was already weak, but now it is only weaker.

Gu Bei's body was still moving forward, but he was unconscious.

But within his consciousness.

Gu Bei suddenly woke up and found himself in a strange space.

"It's ...... Where?"

Boundless darkness, absolute silence.

I can't see my fingers.

Everything here was like frozen ice, freezing his soul and appearance, and it became a little difficult to even think. He couldn't feel the fluctuations, he couldn't feel the temperature, he couldn't feel his own heartbeat and blood flow......

He couldn't even feel the time.

A strong sense of crisis suddenly enveloped my heart. It was as if he had fallen into a rapidly sinking swamp, and some kind of sticky, dark substance was slowly drowning him.

It's not good to go on like this.

He immediately struggled, but his body seemed to have unplugged the mouse from the interface, and no matter how much he moved, he didn't respond. He tried to call the system, but there was no response. Soon, with that absolute coldness, even his brain gradually stopped running like a fan that had cut off the power supply, and soon, dust piled up and cobwebs were thick.

The swamp devoured the last fingernails on his raised fingers.

Thinking stopped, and he completely lost consciousness.

......

Maybe it's been a long time, maybe it's just a moment.

It was as if the stream thawed in early spring, and something had quietly leaked into the space. Gu Bei gradually woke up.

What is it...... Came in?

He began to think.

He instinctively wondered what was coming, however, he found that all five senses were deprived and he could not perceive anything. He's like a tiny particle on an infinite plane that can't do anything.

But instead of giving up, he struggled harder, against all the rules that bound him.

In the dark, he had a feeling that what was flowing in was nearer, closer. And the harder he tried, the faster that thing became clear.

As it approached, Gu Bei felt more and more familiar.

Its name is on its lips, and its voice is on its ears...... Gu Bei tried hard to recall, but it seemed that there was always a barrier between himself and that thing, and it couldn't be broken through.

What is it exactly......

He is like a spring, constantly squeezed downward by some external force. As time went on, that force became bigger and stronger.

It's about to break off.

Intense death threats came to mind.

He was still thinking about the name of the thing. He had a feeling that if he just said it himself, all difficulties would be solved. Its name was like a mouthful of phlegm stuck in Gu Bei's throat, he opened his mouth wide and held his strength, desperately trying to spit it out.

The muscles on his neck are bruised, and his skin is red.

Little by little, the invisible barrier is breached.

He felt like he was approaching the answer, and he was approaching death.

Death, however, seemed to be a little closer to him.

Suddenly, he was poked like a balloon, and his vitality began to drain rapidly. A coldness gradually spread from the depths of his soul, capturing his heart and gradually freezing his will.

Are you going to die?

But he was just a little bit away from the answer, just a little bit away......

He couldn't say it.

Unwilling.

It's like a rocket that runs out of fuel, almost breaking through the sky, but can only irretrievably accelerate and fall back under the action of gravity.

How can it be willing?

He couldn't tell......

If you can't say it, then don't say it!

Gu Bei felt a fire gather in his throat. He was like a surging volcano, gathering strength to calm down at that moment, and then, violently erupting!

"I ...... I'll fuck you!"

It is as if an infinite straight line extends from a point of particle.

A dazzling light suddenly appeared, splitting the entire dark world in half!

The pressure on Gu Bei's body suddenly dissipated without a trace.

He felt like he could breathe. The silent heart began to beat, and the frozen blood flowed rapidly. It was as if an infinite number of elements were pouring into him, filling his body, enriching his soul, and making him feel stronger than he had ever felt before!

"Hahaha!"

The entire space reverberated with Gu Bei's hearty laughter.

At this moment, he finally knew what that familiar and unremembered thing was!

It's the mantra.

After he fell into the depths of his conscious world, the system kept repeating the mantra: once, twice...... A hundred, ten thousand. From the time Anne recited that spell to now, more than half an hour has been folded together, and the spells at each point in time have suddenly become extremely powerful.

It was the spell that broke through the darkness, leaked in, approached him as he was gradually lost, and finally woke him up.

Thinking of this, Gu Bei raised his head and faced the light.

He opened his mouth and recited the incantation.

Sudden change!

Like a pebble thrown into the calm water, the light fluctuated violently. Under Gu Bei's gaze, the light collapsed and condensed inward, becoming more dazzling, and even condensed some solid fluid!

With a bang, the light collapsed into a fist-sized ball of light.

Eventually, the light changed and solidified into a light blue triangle. It looks a bit like a triangle, an equilateral triangle formed by tiny blue rays.

It was an unconventional geometric figure, but in the last corner, it left a finger-wide slit so that the whole shape did not close.

The moment the triangle appeared, a ripple swept through the entire dead space, sweeping over Gu Bei, making his heart tremble slightly at that moment. Then, he felt a faint moist aura spread here.

He couldn't say why, but he knew that the whole space had changed.

Not only the entire space, Gu Bei could clearly feel that his whole person was completely renewed. It was as if the shackles on his body had suddenly been lifted, and he entered a new world, and every cell in his body was filled with a sense of relief and relief.

And all this comes from the triangular character in front of me in the dark, shining with light blue light.

"Incredible. ”

At that moment, a mechanical sound came out of nowhere.

Gu Bei was a little surprised: "So you're here?"

The system seems to be a little uncomfortable:

"Of course I am. How do you think you woke up? If it weren't for the incantation I've been repeating to you, you'd have been lost in your consciousness and become a walking corpse. ”

Gu Bei suddenly said: "That's it, thank you." ”

In the face of the system's complaints, he didn't care, but returned his attention to the triangle characters.

The triangle is the most basic figure in geometry, and this character is not very complicated, the only special thing is that there is a corner that is not closed. But it was such a simple shape, but Gu Bei felt that it contained an incredible power.

If he guessed correctly, the character was derived from Annie's spell. That magic can summon a water ball, so this character must also be related to water.

Water......

Gu Bei was a little confused. Despite the wonderful experience he had just had, with such a glowing triangle, he still didn't quite know what the situation was now.

Where is this? How did he get here? What is the use of this character? All kinds of questions lingered in his mind, and he needed answers.

"Where is this?"

He asked the question first.

"This is the inner space of your consciousness. The system seemed to understand what Gu Bei was thinking, and explained, "The consciousness space of ordinary people is completely closed, they can't be self-aware, and once they accidentally fall into it, they will probably never get out." ”

Gu Bei thought of the experience just now, and couldn't help but be a little afraid.

I'm almost stuck here, and I can't get out again.

"However, it should be the effect of that spell, you are no longer an ordinary person. The system continued, "Through the experience just now, you have liberated your consciousness space and have more possibilities. In other words, you should have reached the threshold of a mage by now. ”

I see.

Without the excitement and excitement he imagined, Gu Bei only felt that his mood was calm and happy. Becoming a mage in a daze made him a little more curious in addition to being pleasantly surprised.

Is this a mage?

In a way, he is self-taught. No one told him what a mage was all about, and he didn't know what it meant to liberate the space of consciousness. He was full of curiosity and anticipation: where had he reached and what kind of power had he had?

And what does that triangle mean?

Questions popped up one after another, and he desperately wanted to know the answers.

He still knew too little about mages.

"Don't rejoice too soon. The system poured cold water at the right time, "Becoming a mage won't change your situation, and you're still a hostage with your life hanging by a thread." ”

Hearing this, Gu Bei was stunned.

Recovering from his euphoria, he immediately thought of Michelle and Anne, of kidnapping and the threat of death. He also wanted to explore the mysteries of the space of consciousness and the triangular characters, but at this moment, he needed to understand what was happening in reality.

He's been here for so long, what about the outside?

He had to put the magic aside for now.

With his thoughts, the world in front of him changed suddenly, and Gu Bei returned to reality.

In the dark of the night, deep in the woods, small pains came from all parts of the body. Michelle was in front of him, Anne was behind him, and nothing seemed to have changed.

Gu Bei was a little surprised.

He felt like he had been in the space of consciousness for a long time, but in reality, time had not passed at all.

Incredible.

"There is still change. At the time when you liberate the space of consciousness, something happens. ”

The system suddenly reminded him.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Bei looked around and found that the footsteps of the three had stopped. Michelle and Anne were facing each other at the moment, in a serious atmosphere, as if they were discussing something.

"No, he's slowing us down so much that we're going to have to give up. ”

Anne was a little anxious.

"I can't give up, there's something very important in the treasure, and I must get my hands on it. ”

Michelle was unmoved.

"But we're running out of time......"

The argument continued, because he didn't know what was going on, and Gu Bei heard it a little foggy. So, he had no choice but to ask the system in his mind:

"What the hell is going on?"

The system replied, "Obviously, the pursuers are approaching. Your presence has slowed them down a lot, and they can't get out of the way, so they're debating whether to give up. ”

Hearing this, Gu Bei was a little nervous.

Is the Reese family's pursuers finally coming?

This is the most critical moment.

Whether you live or die depends on these few minutes.

"Take advantage of it, it's your chance. The system talked eloquently, "The pursuers are approaching, and they definitely don't have time to take care of so much." Now they're arguing again, and they're losing focus, and there's a very good chance you'll escape. ”

Indeed it is.

Gu Bei nodded, and then asked the system, "Then did you come up with any good solutions?"

With his previous experience, he just asked casually and didn't report any hope.

However, the system is unusual:

"Please wait. ”

The sound of the computer running rapidly came from Gu Bei's mind, and it seemed to bring the sound effect of the exhaust fan, and a series of pleasant mechanical sounds sounded. It was as if the system was being loaded with some kind of huge program, and every piece of the piece was running violently.

Got a play?

Gu Bei couldn't help but look forward to it.

Could it be ...... What did the system really come up with?

At this moment, a huge interface suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The blue frame, the white panel, and the entire translucent interface are suspended in the air, which looks very high-end, giving Gu Bei a subtle sense of science fiction.

On the panel, three numbers are clearly visible:

404
