Chapter VIII: Concealment

"Ah Rong, where did you go? You dare to run around in this kind of place, I don't know if you don't have the ability to fluctuate, I don't know how hard we have worked to find you! Huh? Where did this kid come from?" Lan Feng saw Zuo Congrong who suddenly appeared, and rushed up to reprimand him, only to find that there was a three- or four-year-old boy next to Zuo Congrong, who hid behind Zuo Congrong with some fear, revealing half of his head and staring at him timidly, and didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.

should

"I'm only in such a hurry to find him, he's called stupid. Come stupid, say hello!" Zuo Congrong pushed stupid in front of him and taught.

"Hello sister!" Although Ben Ben is not too friendly to Zuo Congrong, but at the moment, there is only one acquaintance like Zuo Congrong, and Ben Ben still said hello very obediently.

"......" I didn't expect that someone would mistake Lan Feng for a girl, and Zuo Congrong, who was in a good mood, seemed to have been killed, and his face suddenly turned pale. I remember that I had such an oolong incident at the beginning, if I hadn't apologized in time at that time, it was really unimaginable what tragedy would have happened next. Now that there is such a thing on his side again, Zuo Congrong is really dead.

"Sister...... , I'm your brother!" Lan Feng suddenly took a deep breath when he heard the stupid greeting, obviously desperately suppressing his anger. After all, it's just a three- or four-year-old child, no matter how angry he is, he still doesn't get mad after all, and even forcibly changes his face and corrects Stupid with a rather unnatural smile.

"Hey, this kid ......" Because he cared too much about the title of "sister", he said that now, Lan Feng noticed that the little boy was unusual.

In fact, even if you don't have the ability to perceive, you should be able to guess the identity of the little boy. Besides, the location here is already deep in the forest, and it is absolutely impossible for children to appear in such a place, besides. This space is still in an illusionary realm, and it is much weirder than the depths of the forest, even if Lan Feng is sluggish, he should be able to think of something. It's just that when he first saw Zuo Congrong, he didn't notice other problems at all, and then it touched his sensitive nerves, where would he pay attention to these details.

"Otherwise, what do you think I'm doing in such a hurry? Okay, what about a few of them, let's gather quickly!" Zuo Congrong interrupted.

......

"Ah Rong, where did you go, didn't you encounter any problems? You don't say that you will discuss with us before acting, but a few of us are worried to death. As the organizer and the person in charge, Yaming asked worriedly. It's not commensurate with the usual calm and elegant, and it looks very chicken.

"Where did you pick up the kid?" Yayue raised the notebook in her hand, not caring about Zuo Congrong's condition, and completely focused her eyes on the little boy behind Zuo Congrong.

"Hmm, what's going on?" Zi Yuan also rushed forward, and Zi Yuan, who was originally going to ask about Zuo Congrong's situation, immediately asked in surprise when he saw the little boy. With just a quick glance, you can already fully understand what is unusual about the little boy.

"His name is stupid. It may well be the crux of this illusion. It's just that I've lost my memory now, so I'll bring him here to see if you can cure him, Sister Ziyuan. Zuo Congrong pulled the stupid out. Explained to several people.

"No, this is ...... "Not only Yamin, but also several others had inexplicable expressions. I can't figure out where the little boy came from.

"It's just a simple 'missing body', what's all the fuss, but what Aaron said about 'losing memory' makes me a little concerned. Ah Rong, can you tell us more about the story?" Shion didn't seem to be very curious about the identity of the little boy. The concerns are also completely different from those of several people.

"Actually, it's nothing, when I found him, he didn't remember anything. I only know that I am called stupid, and I don't know anything else. I think this loss of memory and something like that should be attributed to an abnormality in the nervous system, and maybe the magician will have a way to treat it. ”

"Unfortunately, I can't do anything about it. You're right, the nervous system is still a mental problem in the final analysis, and magicians do have a way to treat this kind of problem, but this is only limited to humans or magical beasts, and there is no way to do it. Shion sighed and explained.

"Wait, wait, you guys slow down, what is that 'Mind Body'?" Mingzhu had not yet reached the level of an ability, and many high-level teaching knowledge had not yet been touched, so he asked incomprehensibly.

"There's nothing mysterious about it, to put it bluntly, it's a kind of 'ghost'!" Shion said casually.

"Ghost ...... It's true, the 'mind body' is a fantasy thing born from strong thoughts or obsessions, or beliefs, but because these forces are not very strong, they can only simply manifest the body, and do not have any special abilities. "As Zi Yuan said, although the attitude seems very casual, it points directly to the center of the goal, and very succinctly expresses the definition of 'thinking body'. It's just that Zuo Congrong was worried that Mingzhu or Yayue wouldn't understand, so he patiently explained again.

"But are ghosts so cute?" Mingzhu, who had already come to the side of Clumsy with Masatsuki and kept teasing him, turned around and asked.

“...... It doesn't matter what happens to this, the key is what should we do next? If Stupid can't recover his memory, I think the probability that we can get out of this illusion is very small!" Zuo Congrong said angrily when he heard Mingzhu's insignificant question, and the blue tendons on his forehead bulged.

"Is there such a trouble?" If what Zuo Congrong said was true, it was indeed a rather tricky question, Yaming frowned and confirmed to Zuo Congrong again.

"I think you probably feel that this space is unusual, right? There is no life at all, and there is no trace of human interference, if someone was targeting us, after so many days, we should have done it a long time ago. So I think this should be an illusionary space constructed by the unconscious of thoughts. Therefore, if we don't understand the true thoughts of the 'Mind Body', we have no way to start with this space. Zuo Congrong explained.

"There is no trace of interference?" Yaming looked at Aster suspiciously, Aster's previous inference was completely different from this, if there was no magnetic field interference, everyone should have completely walked out of this illusion by now, so they would still be going around in circles here.

"Aaron, there's an element of human interference here. Don't forget, our compass is all useless due to magnetic interference. Shion retorted.

"Of course I do, but have you ever felt the fluctuations in your abilities from these magnetic interferences? No. As I said, this space is a space that is constructed by the unconscious of the 'mindful body', so a lot of things are done unconsciously. And there is only one explanation for the fact that the 'Mind Body' can build such a huge fantasy space, that is, he has a very strong obsession or longing in his heart, in other words, he has some unfulfilled wishes or things in his heart that he can't let go, resulting in embodied space, and I want to borrow our hands to help him realize his wishes. And in this case, if we want to leave, his subconscious will definitely interfere with us, in this case, the matter of magnetic field interference can also be explained, right?" Although it is speculation, after all, Zuo Congrong brought back a 'thinking body', with solid evidence, coupled with Zuo Congrong's reasonable analysis, the credibility is indeed much higher than Ziyuan's previous inference.

"What do you mean...... We can only continue our adventures after the little one's wish has been granted?" asked Yamin, reluctantly.

"For now, that's true. Zuo Congrong gave a positive answer again.

"What are you kidding! I've been planning for so many years, and it's finally been realized, and this kind of thing has happened. Jameen slapped his hands on the door of his head with a headache and grumbled in frustration. It is no wonder that due to academic problems, several people have few opportunities to engage in such long-term adventurous activities. There is only one chance a year, and Yaming has already planned to spend a month moving forward, another month to turn back from other routes, and two months later the academy will open.

The plan is good, but there will always be some special circumstances, and now half a month has passed, but a few people have not gone deep into any place. Although even if they have reached the depths of the forest after Moni Town, with their strength and two strong men accompanying them, they are fully capable of going a lot deeper. But now, even if he has entered the depths of the forest, he is trapped in the illusion of the 'Mind Body' and cannot leave, and in the past seven or eight days, except for the hurry, he has not even seen a small bird, let alone any high-level demonic beasts.

"Ah Rong, why are you so sure?" Some trivial things, Zi Yuan still noticed very carefully. Although it was an inference, Zuo Congrong's expression did not look like a guess, and his tone seemed very positive, and he didn't even use many speculative words. Shion abruptly changed the subject and asked the question.

"I ...... Is there one?" As if because of Ziyuan's questioning, Zuo Congrong was a little weak-hearted, and even hesitated a little to speak, and he slurred and vomited half a beat slowly.

"Sure enough, there is something hidden from us, to be honest, what are you hiding?" Originally, he was just a little suspicious, but now when he saw Zuo Congrong's unnatural expression and words, he immediately realized what Aster, and his whole body was full of electric light, crackling with blue and white current. Obviously, he planned to dig out what Zuo Congrong was hiding even if he used violence.

"Wait...... Wait a minute, I'll recruit, can't I recruit all of them......" Seeing Ziyuan's attitude, Zuo Congrong, who was usually fed up with Ziyuan's suffering, also realized that this evil character elder was definitely serious, and immediately succumbed to violence...... (To be continued......)
