The grottoes below the well appear to have been formed naturally, and there are no traces of artificial excavation around them. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The cave is long and narrow, with winding paths, and there are often tributaries on both sides that flow into the underground channels in the cave. After autumn, the underground river also enters a dry season, and when the water recedes, the narrow riverbed on both sides is exposed, which can only accommodate one person. The moss above the roof of the cave grew unchecked, and on the rock wall that was level with Colin's waist, it looked as if it had been cut off. The moss growth boundary on the rock wall at the cut is faintly connected in a straight line, which should be the water level during the high water period, and it seems that the river in the high water period cannot flood the entire cave.

The large barrel came to the shore, and Colin landed and began to inspect the cave closely. It seems that most of the wells in the town are coincidentally distributed along the course of this dark river. Although the light in the cave is dim, you can still see the light and shadow cast through these wells. The light is reflected on the roof of the cave, showing distorted flecks of light.

"The shape of these spots is somewhat similar to the letters of the aphorism of the silent deep sea, and I wonder if the water here also contains the thoughts of the great gods. After looking at the spots, Colin clearly noticed something.

"It's not likely, if the water contains information about the superiors, I'm afraid the people of the town will go crazy just by looking at the water coming up from the well. The muffled sound of a roll of aphorism paper came from his pocket.

"Well, yes, I don't want to live in a mad village, hahahaha. Imagining Sauer going insane, Colin couldn't help but laugh.

"But Colin, you don't know the meaning of the aphorism you've gotten. The paper roll suddenly threw out such a sentence.

"Isn't it as silent as the deep sea?" asked Colin, frowning, puzzled.

"It's not that it's not fully interpreted, it's that it's not interpreted at all. The superiors are inexplicable and indescribable, and of course their knowledge is beyond the reach of mortal language. 'Silence is like the deep sea. It is the aphorism of the superior Leyer, who found the voice of his soul in the silence of the deep sea. But in human language alone, the true meaning of the soul sound and the way in which it was found cannot be described. The paper scroll explains in detail that "silence is like the deep sea." The origin of this adage.

"In the dream of the great god, I have been staring at one eye growing out of the palm of my hand, and in the end I was left with this eye in my consciousness. Colin recalled the eerie dream, "After that I lost all vision and could only hear some strange sounds. ”

Colin seemed to ponder for a moment: "The sound I hear may be the voice of the soul, and the loss of vision should represent the abandonment of the traditional senses." Abandon the senses of mortals and return to the silence of the deep sea to obtain a higher level of knowledge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Colin fainted.

......

"Eh, down, kill it?" a dark shadow in the corner whispered to another behind him.

"Cause less trouble, set traps, and report back as soon as possible. ”

I saw two black shadows leaning down on the path to set up some kind of mechanism, and then turned around and left quickly.

......

It's a twisted coral jungle that is full of colours as far as the eye can see, and the corals are filled with fish of all colors. But if you look closely, the coral in the middle of the field of vision is often colorless, yes, it's not white, it's not black, it's not color, it's not even anything, and the vision of that area is missing! It's a fundamentally very contradictory state, you can't see anything visually, but you always think that it's a coral, just like the corals around you. Changing his vision and looking away, the coral in the middle was in a similar state.

Colin walked through the coral jungle, looking around at the thick seabed paved with broken debris of dead coral. He'd been walking around the coral for an unknown amount of time, and it was clear that the jungle would have no end in sight. The coral debris under his feet was squeezed and rubbed against each other, and the vibration came from the soles of his shoes without making the slightest sound, and there were bands of light in the sky that resembled auroras, possibly some kind of glowing marine microbe.

"Looks like I've entered the dream of the great god again. Colin smiled wryly, "It's just that this dream didn't deprive me of my vision, which was funny." ”

Colin actually knew very well in his heart that in the vision of the superiors, what mortals saw was only the appearance of the world, and if they wanted to understand the true nature of the world, they had to explore it by the extraordinary means of the superiors. And the coral sea in front of him is just an illusion of the superior deceiving and trespassing on mortals, and the lack of a piece in the middle of the field of vision is ironclad evidence. Colin has understood and possessed the most superficial ability of the superior to observe the world, although it is only scratching the surface, but it can also see through the illusion in the center of the field of vision where the attention is most concentrated.

Colin thought about the countermeasure and smiled lightly, "Then now we have to find a way to break this illusion." ”

With that, Colin walked deeper into the coral jungle.

"If you want to break the illusion, you must first find the illusion anchor. —Response to the Speech of the "Phantasmagor" Hentoril in the Place of the Divine Blood (Bahari, 3197)

The so-called illusion anchor is a definition proposed by Master Bahari in his academic papers, he believes that all illusions, whether sensory illusions, consciousness illusions or physical illusions, light field illusions (illusions arranged with light, belong to low-level illusions) essentially need the support of some key points, these points maintain the stability of illusions in people's final consciousness, from the illusion link to reality, just like a ship anchor, so it is called illusion anchor.

Illusion anchors are so important that countless illusion arrangers have been trying their best to hide illusion anchors for thousands of years, because if only one of these illusion anchors is defeated, the entire illusion will begin to collapse irreversibly.

However, Colin was already in his chest, and just now a trace of strangeness crossed the center of Colin's vision, and a point of light lit up in the area that had been missing.

"It looks like the anchor is still far away, and I'm going to be walking for a while. ”

......

The sense of time in the illusion was absolutely weakened, and it was unknown how long it had been until Colin came to this anchor point. The anchor is located in a cave that abruptly emerges beneath coral debris, where a strangely shaped, soft-bodied creature glows slightly. The mollusk resembles a starfish, with a long tentacle sticking out of the upper part of the very center of the main body, and that point of light is the bright light from the tip of the antennae. The creature's body is covered with looming runes, similar to the letters on the Maxim Paper Scroll. As Colin approached him, an incomprehensible whisper gradually rang in his ears, sometimes mysterious and sometimes crazy.

Seeing this scene, Colin couldn't help but gasp. This soft-bodied creature is the only anchor point for the entire illusion, and only the consciousness illusion will have only one anchor point, and this anchor point is the caster himself! This is why Hentoril would give a passionate speech in the Divine Blood Square back then, claiming that the results of his calculations had led him to the final illusion, the illusion of consciousness, the illusion that could never be cracked. Of course, Bahari's response then shattered the "undefeated golden body" of this type of illusion, but he also admitted that while it was not impenetrable, finding the caster in the illusion itself was an almost impossible task. And now in front of Colin is the only anchor point of this fantasy that claims to be "never solved"!

But that's not what scares Colin the most, what he really fears is the identity of this mollusk, the identity of the spellcaster who planted this large illusion in the dreams of the superiors: the creature in front of him is most likely a superior, an old ruler, a great god!

......

Eventually, Colin found the anchor of this illusion, but Colin was faced with a difficult situation.

Naturally, Colin wasn't a coward to get carried away by fear, and after recovering from the shock, he tried to tear the mollusk apart. However, probably because of the relationship between this mollusk and the starfish, it was able to generate new specimens from the fragments after being torn apart, and the cave was already full of new specimens that had grown from mollusk fragments. However, only one of these starfish-like creatures has antennae, so I guess this is the real body.

Colin, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, had been facing off against this body for a long time, and Colin stood up and relaxed once in the middle. And this body has experienced many rough tears from Colin and has become hostile to Colin, and the brightness of the runes on his body has obviously increased.

"It seems that the tentacles are the heart of this superior being, but how do you destroy the tentacles?" Colin twisted a few mustaches from his chin.

Colin had also tried to break his tentacles before, but this damage could not prevent the proliferation of divisions, let alone kill the superiors.

After a few more moments, Colin's confused eyes refocused on the tentacle and extended his right hand to it. Grabbing the tentacles in his hands, Colin picked up the starfish, and the starfish seemed to sense some danger and squirmed wildly. Colin closed his eyes and bit down on the tip of the tentacle!

"Woohoo. The tip of the tentacle was swallowed by Colin, and a clammy cold slid down his esophagus into Colin's stomach.

The space around them slammed into a throbbing, and Collin's heart throbbed violently! The large swaths of starfish around them began to decay and decompose rapidly, emitting bursts of foul odor, and the color of the reef became dull, and the completely white corals began to crumble and shatter, and finally turned into tiny dust that could not be detected and then disappeared. The Consciousness Illusion anchor was destroyed, and all psychedelic illusions returned to nothingness. In the darkness of the void, Colin heard the piercing wails of thousands of souls, striking them straight at the soul. At the same time, a distant and powerful but debilitating voice rushed into Colin's head: "You dare to slaughter the superior of the following criminals!"

Countless voices and whispers frantically squeezed into Colin's sea of consciousness, and like the first time, Colin struggled in pain, waiting for that explosion. This time, however, the explosion came apparently too late, so that Colin's breathing was faintly and almost gone.

"Boom!" Colin felt his entire brain explode into countless debris in intense pain, and consciousness vanished in an instant.

......

"Uh, why wake up and have a headache. Colin lifted his forehead and climbed up from the damp cavern floor.

"Your harvest this time is not small, hateful murderer, hahahahaha. The scroll of paper in his pocket had flown out at some point, and now he unfolded himself, examining the three new lines of text on it, "You hunted down a superior and got his aphorisms. But it doesn't seem like you're doing it that professionally...... Two of these are defective...... How did you kill him?"

"Ah...... Ha ha...... I ate it ......."

"I ate it, no wonder it happened...... Wait a minute!Eat?!"

"Ah...... Is he poisonous......"

"It's unbelievable that the superior is so big, how can you eat it?!" the tone of the aphorism paper scroll was full of disbelief.

Colin gestured his hand to the size of the starfish he remembered, and said, "It's about that big." ”

"Huh, that's weird...... ...... this size."

The aphorism paper scroll was silent for a long time before he said solemnly: "That thing is going to happen!"
