Chapter 296: What is the Price?

"Hum—"

Sharp tinnitus suddenly appeared.

The tearing headache struck again, from the inside and out, as if someone was holding a chisel and smashing it inside the skull.

This is a pain that is difficult for ordinary people to understand and unimaginable, accompanied by all kinds of strange noises of noisy disorder, there are children's cries, there are women's screams, mixed with terrifying tinnitus, like screams from countless strange worlds.

In the midst of the severe pain, Su Xia's eyes darkened.

The chaos just now, mechas, unmanned ships, etc., seemed like the tide was rapidly receding, leaving only darkness.

It was as if he had sunk into the boundless water, and his body sank deeper and deeper in the darkness without light.

The tinnitus gradually faded away, and the cold and dead silence surrounded Su Xia.

He was powerless to struggle, and could only barely open his eyes.

I don't know how long it sank, and in the dark world below him, a blurry halo suddenly appeared.

If you look closely, it is clearly not a halo, but a huge open eye, like an evil in an ancient civilization, hidden in the deep seabed, staring at Su Xia.

"Ho ......"

The sound of muffled breathing wafted through the ocean floor, as if from the Netherworld.

The owner of that eye suddenly opened his big mouth, there were no fangs in his mouth, only a gloomy and dark strange abyss, which could not see the bottom, as if it was about to swallow the whole world, which made people feel frightened.

Tentacles as black as ink spread out from the abyssal mouth, twisted and weird, like wriggling parasites, wrapping around the falling Susha.

It was only then that Susha finally realized the problem.

"That's not right!"

His eyes lit up and he looked around.

This is not a hallucination caused by a normal psionic potion!

In fact, the moment Dr. Agar's story ends, the psychic hallucinations end.

Su Xia has completed her normal promotion.

What he is sinking into now is another hallucination, or rather...... Another creature created the illusion.

It's just that this hallucination is too real, and it hasn't been interrupted, as if the hallucination caused by the psionic potion hasn't ended, and it almost made Su Xia go.

Fortunately, he had become a fifth-level creature, and his perception was much sharper than before, and he noticed that something was wrong.

"Zerg creatures!" Su Xia drank coldly, "If you want to talk about things, show your body, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

"The Commander is angry."

A faint voice came from the darkness, ethereal, far and near.

Immediately after, the surrounding seawater, monsters, tentacles, and so on disappeared one after another, like a faded drawing board, and the entire illusionary world collapsed in the blink of an eye.

The illusion disappears, and the reality emerges.

Su Xia's real body was the warehouse he had chosen before.

There were no lights on in the warehouse, and it was pitch black.

He lay down on the soft old sofa, and on the long table in front of the sofa lay more than a hundred empty potions.

In the illusion world just now, Su Xia's senses were all blinded, as if he had walked into a fog, and he almost couldn't tell the difference.

Now back in reality, the whole world became clear in an instant, he could hear the slight wind outside the warehouse, he could distinguish the conversation of soldiers standing guard in the distance, and even the soft sound of fallen leaves in the farther jungle parting from the branches.

The fifth-level creature is too strong, so strong that it seems to be out of the category of a normal person.

At the door of the warehouse, stood an octopus - Haidar.

"Sure enough, it's you."

Just now, when he saw those tentacles in the hallucination, Su Xia thought of Haidar.

This thing's illusion is really powerful, but there is a very serious problem, that is, every time he uses illusion, he will subconsciously construct a picture of "tentacles" and "tentacles".

If you know him well enough, you can get out of this simple illusion as soon as possible.

"Commander, meet again." One of Haidar's tentacles shook twice in front of him, as if to salute, "Farewell for many days, Commander is unharmed." ”

"Is there something wrong?" Su Xia looked at him calmly.

Although the ugly doppelganger talked a lot with Haidar, the ontology still had to pretend to be unfamiliar.

"The last time we met, the Commander couldn't decipher my illusion, but now I've come this far, congratulations to the Commander," Haidar said. ”

"Congratulations on what?" Susha asked.

"You're already a fifth-level creature." Heydar replied.

"You're happy, aren't you?"

Su Xia said in a flat tone and asked him rhetorically.

"Yes, I'm happy for the promotion of the commander," Haidar said. ”

Su Xia shook her head: "No, you're glad I didn't see through your illusion." ”

Haidar was stunned for a moment, and asked as if confused, "Why do you say that?" The Commander has seen through my illusion. ”

"Oh...... Is it? ”

Su Xia's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at him and asked, "Then what is this warehouse we are in?"

"This ...... Worthy of the commander......"

Haidar's two tentacles clasped together and arched his hand to Su Xia, no longer arguing, obviously being said by Su Xia.

Yes, the two of them are still in the illusion.

The deep sea, eyes, monsters, and so on just now are the first level of illusions, the most superficial illusions.

After Su Xia saw through it, he came to the second layer of illusion, which was the warehouse he was in.

The octopus monster Haidar built an identical illusion world based on the warehouses, sofas, tables, etc. of the real world, making Susha think that he had woken up.

In fact, everything is still under Haydar's control.

"Scatter!"

Haidar spat out a word lightly, and with a wave of his tentacle, the warehouse world shattered.

The floor, the long table, the warehouse ceiling, etc., like fragile mirrors, shattered and fell, turning into fragments of light, slowly disappearing into the darkness.

Susha opened her eyes again.

This time, he's really back to reality.

He was lying on the soft sofa, his clothes wet with sweat, and most of his body muscles were in unbearable pain, as if he had been beaten.

When he got up from the sofa, his brain was dizzy for a moment, and he actually felt extremely uncomfortable with vertigo.

He was now strong and vulnerable, and the pain from the psionic potion injection had not yet completely dissipated.

The tearing pain was still lingering in my head, making my forehead ach as if it would happen again at any moment.

"Hoo ......"

Su Xia took a few deep breaths, adjusted her physical state, and silently felt her current self.

Haidar was still standing in the doorway, revealing the appearance of an octopus in his body, as in his hallucination.

"The commander is very bold and has a great life." Haidar looked at the hundreds of empty psionic potions on the long table, and couldn't help but speak.

"You are also very bold enough to sneak into the Oasis camp alone and use illusions." Su Xia replied.

"It's not that hard to sneak into the camp." Heydar said truthfully.

"If I had forcibly broken your illusion just now, maybe you would have been left here today."

"I understand, there's also a fifth-level creature in Dragon City."

Heidar knew that the old dean of the academy had also arrived, just above the wreckage of the alien spaceship not far away.

Before he could sneak into the camp, he felt the powerful aura of the old dean.

In addition to the old dean, there are also many fourth-level creatures, all of whom are not bad.

If he and Su Xia fought, the old dean would definitely join the battle, and the rest of the forces in the oasis camp were not decorations, and he might not be able to eat and walk around.

As a human race, you should start fighting the first time you see a bug.

Now he can still stand in the warehouse and chat with Su Xia, purely because Su Xia gave him this opportunity.

"The commander should know that the amount of psionic potions injected at one time should not exceed three at most." Haidar rolled up an empty potion with his tentacles, "And, after the injection, it takes a long time to get used to before the second injection can be given." ”

"yes, I know."

Of course, Su Xia knew that there was a limit to the endurance of his personal body, otherwise he would not have hesitated before.

But time waits for no one, so he takes a risk.

The nanobots that remain by his side will monitor his vital signs in real time, and if his physical signs are unstable, the nanobots will forcibly wake him up.

Speaking of which, the octopus monster Haidar is indeed very capable, and he can actually fool the nanobots around him.

"Every promotion is a test of life and death." Haidar put down the potion and said, "There was a time when someone like the Commander took the risk of ascending to the sky and died silently from the side effects of psionic energy. ”

"Tell me why you're here, don't waste your time."

Susha sat on the couch and looked at Haidar quietly.

"Good!"

Hearing this, Haidar didn't go around in circles, and asked bluntly: "Does the commander want to become the lord of Dragon City?"

Su Xia understood what he meant, and said lightly: "If I want to, I have my own means and don't need the help of the Zerg." ”

"Our power can make you the master of Dragon City faster."

"And at what cost?"

"It's just that a few of the high-level leaders of Dragon City will be parasitized by us." Hedar's language was sincere, and he did come with the idea of cooperation.

But the concept of the Zerg has always been a little different from that of the Terrans.

In his eyes, in order to defeat the Cymbin, except for the Queen, any Zerg individual can make sacrifices.

Even if he had to sacrifice his life, he wouldn't hesitate too much.

Letting them parasitize a few high-level leaders of Dragon City can indeed pave the way for Su Xia to quickly become the Lord of Dragon City, and only a few humans need to be sacrificed.

But Su Xia didn't think so, but said indifferently: "Please go back." ”

"Think again, Commander."

Heidar didn't give up, and continued: "When I passed by that wreck just now, I heard the quarrel between the Dragon City Academy and the Research Institute, and it was already five o'clock in the morning, and they were still arguing, and the efficiency of doing things was really unacceptable...... No, it's hard for the worm to accept. ”

"It's five o'clock in the morning."

Su Xia frowned slightly, he entered the warehouse yesterday evening, when the sun had not completely set.

It took too long to get promoted, but it was worth it.

Now he was finally sure to touch Mercer head-on.

Even if you can't beat it, you have the ability to escape.

"What does the commander think?"

Haidar said to Su Xia: "Take a small look at the big one, the quarrel here shows how they usually behave in Dragon City, and the noisy and noisy will never find a way out...... Dragon City needs someone tough enough to integrate all the strengths, otherwise the humans in this area will only get weaker and weaker. ”

"Well, that's true."

Su Xia didn't deny it, he thought the same way.

But he still rejected Haidar, and said, "This is the Terran's own business, and there is no need for the Zerg to interfere." ”

Haidar said: "The commander may have concerns, but we don't have any other ideas, we just want to help you unify Dragon City, with your qualifications and power, even if you go to Dragon City, not many people will be willing to listen to you." ”

There is some truth in his words, judging from the current situation, even if Su Xia becomes the master of Dragon City, there will not be many people who obey him.

The people of Dragon City are already arrogant, and they always feel that they are superior people.

They often regard themselves as the leaders of the Terrans, and they have always looked down on the leaders of the rebels in a small place like Suxia, and the other people in the main human city can let them treat each other as equals.

After this rescue incident, many people in Dragon City should have a better opinion of Su Xia, but not much.

Maybe the academic school can change a little more.

"The Lord of Dragon City doesn't need to be me."

Su Xia didn't have the idea of becoming the Lord of Dragon City for the time being, and managing a pharmacy was enough for him to be busy.

The ugly clone has to manage two hives in the wilderness, and the lord creatures of Xiong Da and Xiong Er, the two hive lords, have always been unconvinced by him, and he is so busy with all kinds of affairs every day that his brain almost goes down.

He planned to go to Dragon City to observe for a while when he was free to see the specific situation in Dragon City.

If you can, it's best to let the current Lord of Dragon City sit in that position.

Haidar said: "If someone else sits in that position, the status quo of Dragon City will not change." ”

"That's how the Zerg want to meddle in Dragon City?" Su Xia asked him.

"Not really, we just want an ally that is strong enough."

"Go back and tell your queen that there is no need for foreign interference in the affairs of the human race." Su Xia looked at him lightly, "Let's take care of our own affairs first, I heard that many hive lord creatures want to break away from the queen's control." ”

"Okay, I'll pass it on to the Queen."

Haidar nodded, and slowly stepped back.

His body began to disappear, like viscous ink melted into the darkness, and he looked very tall.

At the same time, he continued: "Please also ask the commander to consider my advice, there are some things that cannot be changed by personal power...... The wheel of fortune will not stop, and the day will come when our two races will fight side by side. ”

After saying that, he disappeared completely, leaving only the last words echoing in the empty warehouse.

Su Xia leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes, and after a careful sense, he couldn't feel any trace of Haidar's existence.

"It's still a bit of a gap."

Obviously, Su Xia's strength is still not comparable to Haidar, and the other party should be the top group of fifth-level creatures, and Mercer is the same level.

Su Xia was able to see through the illusion just now, largely relying on the skill of [Illusory Eye].

If it weren't for these eyes, he might have been trapped by hallucinations for longer.

Su Xia rubbed her tired eyes, and couldn't help but think of everything she had seen in the psionic potion hallucination.

He opened his eyes and pulled the copy of Dr. Agar's notebook from the storage compartment and looked at it through the light of a flashlight.

"Did the Doctor end up on this brutal path of experimentation to save the native named Ellen?"

Su Xia half leaned back on the sofa, reading the contents of the notes.

In this notebook, only the results of the Doctor's experiments and various ideas are recorded, and there is no mention of a person named Allen.

Just looking at this notebook, the doctor is obviously a bit crazy, and insists on creating a so-called "god".

But how complex a person is, how can he write a notebook?

"There is no record of the success of turning monsters back into humans in this notebook." Su Xia shook her head slightly, "It would be nice if I could get more information related to Dr. Agar." ”

His elder brother Gu An has now become a monster, even if it is a legendary father, there is nothing he can do.

Maybe......

Is this reversal simply unachievable?

Did the man named Allen, finally wait for the Doctor to save him?
