Volume 1 Chapter 10 Awakening
Walking out of the hallway, two attendants waiting in the temple outside led several people through the small door to the guest room.
The guest room is not far from the waiter's residence, but the waiter is crowded together with several people, and there is no room of his own, but the guest room is much larger, one room per person.
However, tonight, the few people could not be separated, and the waiter in the house had already set up the chaise long.
Xiao Mu unceremoniously sat down on the only bed in the room, then patted Liu Xiao beside him and motioned to sit down.
Jiao Ning waved his hand and let Liu Xiao pass.
Ahh
The other group leaders were all lying on their own recliners.
"Poof!"
Xiao Mu laughed.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not too young to really do anything to you. If you can be seven or eight years younger, only in your thirties, I will definitely not let you go. ”
After that, he retracted his playful expression and stood up, and said solemnly: "Come and stand up." ”
Liu Xiao felt a lot more comfortable in her heart and walked in front of Xiaomu.
"Take it easy."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, stretched out his slender five fingers, which were already slightly wrinkled, and snapped his fingers.
Syllable!
An earthy yellow color immediately filled the field of vision of Liu Xiao, like light yarn, more like yellow sand, mixed with the wind blowing in his face.
Liu Xiao subconsciously shrunk his neck, if it weren't for trust, he might have to take a few steps back.
The next moment the room disappeared, and Liu Xiao found herself in a desert.
The sun is high, the air is distorted, and waves of heat are blowing in the face.
It was originally summer, the weather was dry, and suddenly I arrived in the desert, and within a few seconds, Liu Xiao was sweating like rain, and her whole body was soaked.
The evening bath should be washed in vain.
Liu Xiao turned around, all around was yellow sand, and Xiao Mu couldn't see her figure, but her voice came from nowhere:
"If I were you, I wouldn't move."
In the guest room, Xiao Mu opened his eyes.
"Let's get started."
What Liu Xiao didn't know was that Xiao Mu was not a prison master at all, and what he entered was not Xiao Mu's prison world, but the world of illusions.
His body was still standing in the room.
The seven team leaders didn't say a word and quickly got busy.
Put away all the reclining chairs to make space, put Liu Xiao on the bed, and drag them to the middle of the room, where several people gathered around at will.
After the door was locked, Fei Yuan, the leader of the second group, raised his palm and tapped his right hand lightly on the palm of his hand.
The space rippled, and all eight people disappeared.
It turned out that Fei Yuan was the prison master.
Prison – the boundary between life and death
Under the gloomy and dark sky, the earth was divided into two parts, and on one side was an endless grassland, which was as flat as a chessboard without a single undulation, and the grass was full of life.
At the edge of the grassland, a cliff as vertical as an axe, beyond the cliff is the other half of the world, a void, leading to the abyss of death.
On the grass on the edge of the cliff, the space was distorted, and eight people appeared.
The seven people around immediately sat down, Xiao Mu snapped his fingers, and Liu Xiao's spiritual world turned into a wisp of smoke and rose into the sky, unfolding like a picture scroll.
It is difficult for Xiao Mu to do this on his own, but in this world, it is different, with Fei Yuan as the master, he can obtain more permissions.
In the middle of the desert, Liu Xiao obediently endured the heat and remained motionless.
The heat distorted the air in the distance, and some images slowly emerged.
It's like a mirage, but the content makes Liu Xiao's eyes widen.
That's himself, the real self, the self that hasn't crossed over!
A fake "Picture of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" slowly opened, and Liu Xiao was reading the text on it carefully;
In order to repair the calligraphy and paintings, Liu Xiao straightened up and held her waist with her hands in pain;
In the classroom, when I opened the book, I was still in school and Liu Xiao memorized the contents of the book, but she soon fell asleep;
In the busy farming season, the fields are full of busy figures, and the young willow lies on the ridge of the field to catch grasshoppers......
Each picture can evoke more memories of Liu Xiao, and then all of them are projected into a mirage to be presented.
The familiar scenes made Liu Xiao's heart tremble.
This is not the world of prison!
If the prison world can project people's memories, then just let Ye Qu's predecessors do it, why bother?
Could it be because Ye Qu's predecessors are not capable enough?
So I am......
Exposed?
Although Liu Xiao's whole body was sweating like rain, he felt like he was falling into an ice cave, and at this moment his heart was full of fear, not knowing how the world would treat him, and it was difficult to imagine his fate.
This is a world with transcendence, and these images clearly show that he does not belong to this world, so it is impossible to simply put him in a mental hospital.
He was an outsider.
Outsiders from another world.
In an instant, Liu Xiao flashed countless thoughts, but they were all unused chores.
Is this a marquee?
The next moment, he smiled.
That's it, although it's only been three days, and although I have a good impression of this world with the customs of my previous life, I ......
Wait a minute!
At the moment of thinking of this world, Liu Xiao saw a scene flash in the picture.
Is that...... Blessing ceremony at the daytime shrine!
Liu Xiao thought again.
In the picture, there is a blessing ceremony, a shrine appears, and Su Gu them.
It's not actively digging into my memories, it's presenting it in real time!
It's manageable!
Not daring to delay any time, he immediately closed his eyes and began to recall what had happened to him in the last few days.
It was also at this time that in the prison world belonging to the second group leader Fei Yuan, the spiritual painting axis opened.
The seven team leaders glanced at it, ignoring Liu Xiao and the desert, and turned their gaze to those pictures.
What is presented to the eyes of the seven people is a myriad of first-person images.
From opening his eyes and scanning around in a panic, he found himself lying on the ground surrounded by a group of people.
to being taunted by the police at the Law Enforcement Bureau, and then reaching for the keys from his pocket.
and then after being hungry for two days, the little girl was angry and crying, and the fat aunt next door brought lunch.
Then he gained divinity, met the man in white, was solved by Jiao Ning, and got up in the middle of the night to paint.
Finally, under the gaze of the statue of the Holy Son, he lay down for more than 20 minutes before he began to recite the prayers......
The gap between the two lives was too big, so that Liu Xiao could easily distinguish between the two, coupled with the desire to survive, so he successfully controlled his mind and let these pictures flash alternately.
After reading it, Jiao Ning raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, without saying a word.
Xiao Mu scolded angrily: "Okay, you little cub, you lie comfortably, let us stand outside the door for half an hour!" ”
After speaking, he was puzzled, and raised his hand to "snap" at Liu Xiao's head.
She didn't hit hard, but with this slap, Liu Xiao in the desert uncontrollably stopped thinking about getting up in the middle of the night to paint last night, after Jiao Ning left.
Liu Xiao himself didn't pay much attention to this matter, he himself had done something similar, and when he was in a bad mood, he locked himself in the studio for a whole day, painting could calm his mind.
Later, after doing the restoration work, I rarely did this, firstly, because the painting skills had been lost for a long time, and secondly, because the restoration work itself had to be calm and careful, and there was no need for it.
So when she woke up this morning, Liu Xiao didn't feel that there was anything wrong with painting at night, she was simply in a bad mood.
And that painting really wasn't very good.
The main thing is that the painting is not very good, and I put it away when I saw it in the morning.
And now that Xiao Mu forcibly replayed the picture, he also found a problem.
It was late at night, or maybe early in the morning, and the streets were dark and the sun had not yet risen.
And himself, without any mistakes in the dark, did everything accurately.
Although he may seem emotionally unstable and unable to stand steadily, he can reach out and hold a paintbrush in the dark, distinguish the color he needs, and pull out a blank piece of paper......
"Found it." Xiao Mu said with a smile.
With his hands held high, he took a screenshot of the picture he needed, turned it into a gray mist, and put it into his mind from the center of his eyebrows.
After doing all this, he raised his hand again and snapped his fingers to wake up Liu Xiao.
Liu Xiao was uncontrollably recalling the incident of painting last night, when suddenly the picture disappeared, the desert disappeared, and then she felt her body.
Before he opened his eyes, he felt the thick vitality under his body, as if he had pressed the growth of something, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly got up.
Turn your head and look around.
On one side is the flat and boundless grassland, and the gray sky is full of life.
On the other side is the abyss that cannot be seen, dark and lonely, a dead silence.
Surrounded by seven team leaders.
"Don't worry, this is Fei Yuan's prison world."
Jiao Ning's voice came, which made people feel a little relieved.
"It's so clear."
"Oh?" Fei Yuan was a little surprised, "You can see the clue at a glance?" ”
Liu Xiao gently touched the ground.
The grass is dense and soft, like a green carpet.
"These are all alive."
"Once you die, you are naturally alive."
Liu Xiao looked in the direction of the abyss over everyone again: "There is nothing there, and there is no divinity." ”
Cheng Xun frowned: "He shouldn't have woken up, right?" ”
"Yes."
Xiao Mu let him enter the world of illusions, and it seemed as if he was awake all the time, but in fact his body had fallen asleep.
The activity of the mind does not affect the integration of the body with the divinity, otherwise the person who has acquired the divinity will not be allowed to go home to sleep.
It's just that this time is too short!
"On the premise of being awake to acquire divinity, it is understandable to awaken so quickly."
Several people discussed it and came to a conclusion.
"What ability?"
The crowd asked.
"Imperial Things."
Liu Xiao took out her key from her pocket and put it in her hand, then took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, and as soon as her palm was slightly sent, the key flew up steadily.
His own face was beaming with joy.
Who hasn't dreamed of having superpowers, and now it's actually happening.
Cheng Xun said: "Imperial object, you are also a hunter, do you want to consider coming to the sixth group?" ”
Liu Xiao turned his head to look, he turned out to be a hunter too?
Thinking of Han Qingyi again, are all hunters the same, cold appearance?
Cheng Xun didn't know what he thought, thinking that he looked down on himself, so he snorted coldly and picked up his trousers with his hand, revealing a thin blade more than twenty centimeters long.
There are no handles, and they are edged on all sides and inserted in the sheath.
Before he could move, the thin blade flew out at great speed, letting out a high-pitched chirp.
I saw that the blade was extremely fast in the air, and the distance of 100 meters was instantaneous, and Liu Xiao's eyes could barely keep up with the speed, and he could only see a cold light.
Cheng Xun raised his hand, and the thin blade instantly fell and spun rapidly against his fingertips, and finally stopped at his fingertips.
"It's better to come to the sixth group than to grope slowly by yourself."
Did he even start poaching people in front of Team Leader Jiao?
Liu Xiao looked at Jiao Ning, but saw that he didn't have any expression, as if Cheng Xun was not a member of his team.
So he thought about it, and instead of saying it directly, he asked, "Does the imperial object have to be a hunter?" ”
"No, but there are only two possible situations for the imperial object, either the hunter or the miscellaneous. In addition, divination, doctors, prisons, and demons have too high requirements for ability, and it is impossible to be suitable for them. ”
"What's the benefit of joining a company?"
"It's not good, it's just a training direction. If you join the hunter, you will be trained as a hunter, and if you join the doctor, you will be trained as a doctor, and if you don't join anything, you will automatically be classified as a miscellaneous family. ”
"Then it is impossible to have the resources to train hunters." Liu Xiao said.
"Yes, the temple cultivates extraordinary abilities to deal with sudden extraordinary events, and you'd better not act willfully."
Several team leaders are very friendly to newcomers, and Liu Xiao's questions can be said to be answered.
Liu Xiao was silent after listening.
It's not that he doesn't want to take responsibility, it's just that the man in white's sentence "be careful of the hunter" makes him feel a little guilty about the hunter in his heart.
But if you don't become a hunter, you may never have the opportunity to go higher and farther in this life, and it is impossible to go home.
There's only one choice no matter how you look at it.
Xiao Mu reminded loudly: "You have to think carefully, don't be rash because of a little contradiction." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Cheng Xun.
Cheng Xun pretended not to see it, and said: "You can feel the life and death of this world, which means that your senses have also become very sharp, which is very in line with the characteristics of hunters." ”
Jiao Ning also opened his mouth at this moment: "The amount of divinity you have obtained is very large, and your awakening is also fast, you are a rare divine blesser, no matter what choice you make, you will have a good development." ”
Liu Xiao heard this and smiled.
Sure enough, I still like Team Leader Jiao.
People are saying "you're a hunter", "you have to join the hunter", "this is the best choice".
Only the team leader said, "You are good enough to do anything".
"In that case, then I will join the miscellaneous family and stay in the seventh group. Cheng Xun team leader, I'm sorry. ”
Cheng Xun was lifeless, his cold expression slowly disappeared, and he turned into helplessness:
"You don't have to be so close to Team Leader Jiao because he is a miscellaneous family. The reason why the miscellaneous family is called 'miscellaneous' is because all kinds of extraordinary abilities that are inconvenient to classify can be put into it. The hunter is also very inclusive, as long as it is an attack, you can join, you can consider it again. ”
Is the team leader a miscellaneous family? According to what Cheng Xun said, anyone who attacks can join the miscellaneous family, and the team leader solved the man in white with one punch, why didn't he become a hunter with such a strong ability?
However, he heard the sincerity in Cheng Xun's words, so he hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, Team Leader Cheng Xun, in fact, I don't know which team leader Jiao is, so I am not particularly close to the miscellaneous family." I've made a decision and I'm not going to change it. ”
Cheng Xun shook his head helplessly, withdrew his thin blade, and changed into a cold as frost again.
Later, for tonight's task, the seven people asked Liu Xiao a full range of questions, and finally asked him to hand in the painting he painted last night.
Liu Xiao didn't really care about being deceived tonight, after all, this was the arrangement of the temple, and they would definitely choose the safest method.
However, several team leaders were open-minded and explained.
In fact, it is very simple, Xiaomu uses the two abilities of sleep and hallucination, which is easier to succeed when people are not paying attention and defenseless, and it also makes people sleep more deeply and better tap the subconscious.
Liu Xiao nodded, not saying that she had also stayed awake in the illusion.
The second group, Fei Yuan, dispersed to the prison world, allowing everyone to return to the real world.
Since I need to check Liu Xiao's divinity again tomorrow morning, I still can't leave here, so I can only sleep in the guest room.
Xiao Mu spent a lot of energy, and she was the only one of the opposite sex, so she found another room for her to rest, and the other people were all huddled together.
