Chapter 113: True and False
Yan Nu and Ark hugged each other, their terrifying forces confronting each other, and instantly felt the scenery in front of them change.
The peach trees have pink buds, like red pearls adorning the branches.
But there were many trees around it, which had been uprooted and ploughed into the ground, but it seemed to be a long time ago.
The two of them looked left and right, and there was silence all around, and the sun shone through the cracks in the branches.
In addition to the trees, there are also a number of mounds and bones nearby.
Such an instantaneous change in the scene made both of them realize that they had entered the so-called out-of-the-world town.
"Hahaha, you're in too."
Yan Nu laughed, although he didn't want to be locked in, but there was no way to do it.
Ark was also pulled in with him, probably for the best.
Ark, by contrast, was flustered, and he was well aware of how important he was to his family.
"The way I came is gone......"
Ark looked around, there were peach trees, and in the direction he came, there were either trees or mountains in the distance, and he could even recognize it as Yimeng Mountain.
But he couldn't see the Bald Clan's camp, and he couldn't see any of his clansmen.
Ark flew to his feet and rushed forward, and in an instant he ran into some invisible barrier, silent, unable to move an inch.
It was as if the mountains, meadows, streams, and clouds he saw in the distance were all illusions.
It's as if everything is an invisible wall, a phantom.
Ark kept trying to bombard the cliff, but he was silently repelled away, not even feeling the vibration.
Powerful energy spread along its surface, snapping peach trees and tearing petals, destroying a vast swath of devastation.
"Ahhh Ark erupted with all his might, impacting the barrier,
Because the border is round, it seems as if he is rubbing against the barrier, and finally deflects to the side, gliding all the way along the border, leaving an arc trail.
His face was squashed, and he flew around the whole world, flying in a half circle.
"Why are you still holding me?" Yan Nu said.
Ark stopped, thinking to himself yes, he had come in, and there was no need to grab the Yan slave, and he would have to spend most of his strength on suppressing him.
"Let's break this together!" Ark said as he let go of the flame slave.
Soon, two super mortals collided everywhere in the air, working together to break the barrier.
"Knock knock!"
However, no matter how much force they used, it was as if they were hitting something absolutely powerless.
They could feel the barrier, but it was a bit like hitting in the air, because they didn't even have the power to fight back, and all the power spread along the curve.
The whole world was a huge sphere, twenty miles from the south and north, which was as large as the barren land that I had seen outside.
And the highest sky, about ten miles above the ground, is blocked by an invisible barrier no matter how high it is, and it is conceivable that the underground is the same.
"A monk has come in?"
"God, thunder, flames, and qi have everything."
"Those two are so strong, but how can the boundary of the world be broken!"
"It's like this for newcomers who just come in......"
"Stop them!"
"Intense and powerful forces are constantly accumulating in this space, and they will ruin Taoxu Town!"
Their great movement has alarmed a small town in the center of the world.
There are houses lined up in a quadrangular pattern, dotted with several courtyards.
The town is full of dirt roads, except for one square paved with bluestone slabs, which is much smaller than the town of Drinking Horses.
I saw three warriors rushing out, hurrying away, chasing the two.
If you want to call them down, don't add high energy to this small and closed world.
However, Yan Nu and Yak went back and forth, they couldn't catch up, and after running east and west, they completely lost their traces.
"Did you stop on your own initiative? It's also ......."
"Uh, do you see what they look like?"
"No, how can you see this? I don't even know if it's a man or a woman. ”
"Forget it, then you don't need to get acquainted, let's just work in a group of three, and no one will pay attention."
"Hmmm! Let's go back to the house, so that the house is occupied by guys who don't know if it's human. ”
The three warriors came and went back together, with ropes still tied to each other, as if there was some reason why they could not be separated.
And on the east side of the town, two frustrated teenagers walked side by side.
"The air is filled with the true qi of countless people and even spell fluctuations, and the whole world is completely closed." Ark's eyes were blank.
His perception was strong, so he was the first to discover that if the two of them released energy uncontrollably, this small space would eventually be filled with violent and fiery power, turning this place into a furnace-like purgatory.
Yan Nu thought that there was another person who also came in, that is, the warrior who moved the stone tablet.
This man took advantage of a feature that everyone didn't know about and brought Ark in, apparently knowing a lot about the place.
If this person can be found, there may be a way out.
"Do you know who those two people are?" Yan Nu asked.
"I don't know...... Didn't they save you? Ark asked rhetorically.
Yan Nu shook his head in denial and muttered, "Strange, what about others? Did you find it? ”
"No, my divine sense swept all over here, not even underground, but he's gone." Ark replied with a frown.
"Ah......" Yan Nu opened his mouth wide: "He came before us, he can't have already gone out, right?" ”
Ark's expression was panicked: "Wouldn't it?" He's just a little ahead of us. ”
Yan Nu waved his hands and said, "But he knows this strange thing very well, it should be the martial artist who guarded here before, and he knows the secret of going out." ”
"Maybe the secret is very simple, just go out in one sentence."
"And when we first came in, we smashed the wall and didn't pay attention to anyone nearby. Maybe he ran into the town first, and how he left. ”
Ark's face was lost and panicked: "Won't I ever see my brother again?" ”
"Then you deserve it, who told you to lock me in?" Yan Nu Qidao.
Ark glanced at him and said, "Who told you to kill so many of my grandfathers?" ”
"Huh? Who let you Bald Clan invade? You've slaughtered countless people, and I'm not allowed to save them? "Yan Nu's eyes breathe fire.
Ark didn't speak much, he just followed the orders of his relatives, and when he saw that Yan Nu was talking farther and farther, he was speechless and no longer talked.
The two were silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke at the same time.
"What now?" Yan Nu scratched his head.
Ark also scratched his head at the same time and said, "Do you have a way?" ”
"......" Then the two looked at each other, both speechless.
"You ask me, who do I ask!" Yan Nu pouted: "This is the place where you want to lock me up, don't you know something?" ”
Ark was embarrassed, he really didn't know.
"I just know that I can't get out if I come in, and I'll have to ask my brother about the rest."
"Why is everything your brother? What else do you do but fight? ”
Ark thought for a moment, "I can also draw." What about you? What else would you do? ”
Yan Nu was shocked, he could actually draw?
Oh no, what else will I do?
He thought about it for a long time, can he eat anything?
Yan Nu blinked, but finally did not answer, and pointed to the town in front of him: "There are still many people living here, let's ask them how to get out." ”
The two had reached the edge of the town, and Ark suddenly stopped, hesitating.
"Let's go!"
Ark sensed the various strangers inside, and said with a sad face, "You just ask, I don't know how to speak." ”
"Then you're going to follow me, why do you stop?" Yan Nu felt inexplicable.
Ark shook his head: "Just tell me if you ask, I won't go." ”
As he spoke, he found a big tree outside the town and sat down cross-legged against the tree.
Yan Nu tilted his head and said, "What's wrong with you?" I'm not wearing any clothes, so you should ask. ”
His clothes had long since been destroyed in the battle, but it wasn't completely fruitful, and he used the art of dissolving flames to turn the lower half of his body into flames.
But this is obviously not good to enter the town to scare people, after all, there are hundreds of people in the town, half of them are ordinary people.
"Whoa." Ark beckoned, and with a suction, he ingested the clothes drying at the back door of a private house twenty feet away, and threw them to Yan Nu.
"Why do you take other people's things casually?" Yan Nu said angrily.
Ark said for a moment, "Why do you care so much?" ”
The corners of Yan Nu's mouth grinned: "Then I don't care about you, I went out by myself when I asked for the answer." ”
"You ......" Ark glared at him, "if you don't tell me, you don't want to get out!" ”
"Do you still want to fight? I'm afraid you won't make it? Yan Nu clenched his fist, and his blood-colored arrogance rose.
Ark's eyes sharpened, and his blood color rose.
But the two didn't make a move, they both knew that it was meaningless, and after a confrontation with arrogance.
Ark was the first to retract, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to help me ask...... After you get out, I'll let you go. ”
Yan Nu didn't want to hurt others and ruin the town, so he suddenly reined in his strength.
Hearing him say this, he pouted and said, "What are you afraid of...... Why didn't you see you so cowardly when you fought with me? ”
Ark stared at him faintly.
Yan Nu glared back without hesitation, and Ark had to avoid his eyes.
With no bald people around him, Ark doesn't seem to have a strong desire to fight, and is more like a teenager who is not good at socializing.
"Okay, wait for me." Yan Nu put on his clothes and walked into the town.
There aren't many pedestrians here, just stopping and talking.
They were either in pairs or in groups of threes or fives, all with their hands or waists connected by ropes.
There are also those who are not tied with ropes, but they are all left alone.
This kind of lone wanderer either stands on the side of the road, looking at the town with numb eyes, or wanders like a walking corpse.
Yan Nu walked up to the two teams of warriors who were talking: "May I ask why you are all tied with ropes?" ”
When they saw him coming, the two groups stopped talking and looked at him warily.
When Yan Nu asked, they ignored it even more, turned their heads and wanted to leave.
"Huh?" Yan Nu directly grabbed one: "What the hell is going on?" Let's talk about it. ”
The man who was pulled found that he couldn't break free, and his face changed.
He couldn't walk, and there were three people with him, and he couldn't walk with a rope.
I had to stop and say, "You're new to the new arrival?" ”
Yan Nu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes!" ”
The four of them were suspicious: "You flew in the sky just now?" ”
"It's me, if you don't believe me, I'll fly to show you......" Yan Nu burst into anger.
All four waved their hands: "You don't have to prove anything......"
They didn't care if Yan Nu could prove it at all, and they all had a meaningful smile on their faces.
Yan Nu scratched his head and said, "Do you know how to get out?" ”
"Can't get out!" The four of them shook their heads without hesitation.
One of them said, "Find a room to live in, and live in this foreign land." ”
"If you're really new here, it's best not to trust anyone."
Yan Nu said in a daze: "Why? ”
"Because it may be a fake ghost in disguise."
"What fake ghost? Ghosts and fakes? ”
Yan Nu was very surprised, and at the same time realized that there was nothing but that he could not get out of this world...... There seems to be some danger in itself.
The man who was caught in the hand said with palpitations: "You can also call them dummies, their disguise is perfect, they can become the people around you, just like normal people to live with us." ”
"But in reality they're ghosts...... No, not even ghosts. There are monks in the town, but he says that false ghosts have no realm at all, and they can't be destroyed, and ghosts are not the same thing at all. ”
"So, we call it a false ghost."
"There are more than 300 people in the town, but most of them may be fake ghosts in disguise......"
Yan Nu's eyes were surprised, looking left and right, there were more than 300 people in the town, most of them were not people?
No wonder the martial artist in front of him is so distant and wary of him, I am afraid that he is also regarded as a fake ghost.
"Do fake ghosts hurt people? What if you don't recognize it? Yan Nu asked.
He spoke innocently and fearlessly, after all, he didn't have many people, including Old Ghost Feng.
Perhaps the title of 'ghost' is a bad symbol in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Yan Nu, it has no derogatory meaning.
The man trembled and said, "Once you believe in a false ghost, it will first change your appearance...... Step by step from the outside in. ”
"In the back, even the memories will be tampered with, unknowingly turning you into another person."
"The more you believe in it, the more you will tamper with your memory, and the more you will believe in it, until you become the kind of false ghost and forget yourself."
Yan Nu was shocked, he thought that the fake ghost had some terrible aggressiveness, if it was this, he would not be afraid.
I didn't expect it to be tampering with memories, changing identities, and finally becoming a fake ghost.
"Can I adapt to this?" Yan Nu muttered in his heart, he would definitely not adapt to changing his appearance, after all, he now has a body of flames.
Does tampering with memories hurt him? Yan Nu remembered the sub-personality of 'Middleman', but he wasn't sure if tampering with memories was the same thing as tampering with memories.
He didn't want to forget Ah Weng and Miao Han, he didn't want to forget the peace in the world, he didn't want to become another person, he didn't want to try.
Just as he was thinking about it, the warrior took the opportunity to pull his hand out.
Yan Nu raised his head and said, "So you are tying ropes just to prevent you from separating each other and being approached by fake ghosts disguised as your own?" ”
The man nodded: "Well, we brothers can definitely be trusted, because since we entered here by mistake, it has been several years now, and we have not been separated." ”
His partner said anxiously: "Old Fang, you said too much, you won't really believe that he is a newcomer, right?" ”
The warrior named Lao Fang said, "I must not believe it in my heart, so I just said it...... He knew this, and if he was really a newcomer, he would save himself from being inexplicably assimilated by a fake ghost. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the partners next to him were anxious: "Don't think like this!" Don't think so! ”
"Old Fang! It's not that you don't believe it! ”
"When you feel that he is a newcomer because of his soft heart, he wants to pull it out, but you don't know that you are going to fall into it!"
Lao Fang's face also changed, and he touched his face: "I...... I haven't changed, have I? ”
"No, no, let's go!" The companions pulled him and hurried away.
Yan Nu looked confused, and there was no reason to force them to stay.
People think he's a fake ghost, and no matter how much he says he's not a fake ghost, he won't believe it. If you force people to stay, they will only be afraid.
Yan Nu thought about it, and still used his divine sense to convey the situation to Ark.
"Arkyak, come here, let's stay together."
Ark was shocked by the false ghost: "Will I forget my family? ”
"That said, I don't dare to believe anyone except you now." Yan Nu said.
Yak asked, a little suspicious, "Uh, are you real?" ”
"Huh?" Yan Nu was stunned, but Ark reacted quickly, and as soon as he learned this information, he first suspected him.
"Our consciousness has never left each other, do you believe it...... Let's have a fight! ”
Yan Nu was a little angry.
Ark said, "Forget it, you should come here quickly...... I only know you. ”
"Come here!" Yan Nu said: "I will continue to find a way, if you don't come, forget it!" I'll go on my own. ”
"It's just that you're about to be tampered with, and the world is one less harmful! I'm going to get rid of the bald ones! ”
"You ......" Ark panicked.
Yan Nu smiled and walked straight towards a second-story inn in the town.
He found that there were a lot of people coming in and out of the place, leaving with food, and there was plenty of food in the inn, and people went in and took it.
In such a closed area, food should be a big problem, the town is not a village, most of the land within a radius of twenty miles is uncultivated, what do the people trapped here eat?
But the reality is that the inn still has an abundant supply of food, which is obviously strange.
Maybe there's a way to the outside.
"You wait for me......" Ark sprang in, following behind the Yan Nu.
Yan Nu didn't look back, swaggered, and asked a few more lone travelers to inquire.
Ark followed the whole time, not saying a word.
Most of the lone travelers looked numb, and when they saw Yan Nu coming up, they were first surprised, and then vigilant.
In the end, he didn't say anything and walked away gloomily.
"Alone, unaccompanied, so you can't trust anyone, don't you dare to talk to anyone?" Yan Nu muttered in his heart.
Ark looked up behind him, "I'm not, you shut up." ”
"Huh?" Yan Nu was stunned: "I didn't say anything about you." ”
"......" Ark was silent.
Yan Nu walked into the inn with a gun on his shoulder.
There were not many people in the inn, and the visitors took the food and left, and they didn't say anything about paying or anything.
Only a man dressed in scruffy clothes and carrying a sword case sat at a table to dine.
At the other table, there was a woman in a power suit, rubbing her red and swollen eyes with her hands.
The woman didn't plan to greet anyone at all, but just opened her eyes lightly and looked at Yan Nu.
But when his eyes locked on Ark, his pupils shrank.
First shocked, then surprised, and finally a hint of suspicion, those beautiful but a little red and swollen eyes flashed many emotions in an instant.
"Newcomer? Please be seated, and you can eat the noodles here. The woman smiled, and Huo Ran got up to entertain the guests.
"Thank you." Although Yan Nu said that there was food, he was not polite when people entertained him.
The two sat down, and the woman brought two bowls of noodles and put a lot of meat.
Yan Nu was curious: "You opened this shop?" Where's the food? ”
The woman in the suit did not answer this question, but first asked the names of the two and then introduced herself.
"Miss Ben, Zhao Yu, is the mayor of Taoxu Town. The two powerhouses who flew in the sky just after they came in before were the two of you, right? ”
Yan Nu nodded.
Zhao Yu said again: "No matter how strong you are, you can't get out, since you just came, the two of you must first understand the matter of the fake ghost......
"I know!" Yan Nu smiled: "There are a lot of fake ghosts in the town, don't trust them, otherwise you will tamper with the memory." So everyone is connected with a rope so that people who can be trusted are not deceived separately. ”
Zhao Yu frowned slightly: "Who told you?" ”
Yan Nu immediately told what he had heard.
Zhao Yu smiled, tilted his head and said, "Young man, you won't believe it, will you?" ”
"Huh?" Yan Nu was stunned.
"It's hard to ...... Isn't that so? ”
Zhao Yu shook his head lightly: "Believing in fake ghosts does not necessarily mean 'being deceived', fake ghosts can be perfectly disguised, and they can be used to make people 'believe' with the truth." ”
"Most people in Taoxu Town are fake ghosts...... Who told you that he who is tied with a rope is a living man? ”
"On the contrary, most of the things that are strung together are 'completely annihilated'......"
Yan Nu opened his mouth, a little confused.
Is that actually the case? That group of warriors who were crazy and jealous of him, guarded against him, and even fled in the wilderness, turned out to be fake ghosts?
No...... No, the woman in front of you may also be a fake ghost......
For a while, Yan Nu was a little confused, but soon he realized an important point.
"Fake ghosts don't necessarily tell lies, the point is not to believe fake ghosts as a person?" Yan Nu said.
"Yes. In fact, I don't know if you're true or not, but I've gotten to the point where 'everything you see is false.'" Zhao Yuyan smiled.
Yan Nu asked again: "The fake ghost is perfectly disguised, but what he says and does is very true...... Huh? Huh? ”
As he spoke, he suddenly jumped to his feet and his eyes widened.
Just because his words are a woman's voice.
Yan Nu lowered his head and was shocked to find that his chest was bulging, and then he looked at his hands, which were slender and slender.
"You're a fake ghost!" Yan Nu pointed at Zhao Yu in surprise.
……
:I'm sorry.
