Chapter 1006: Awakening from a dream
"Is this possible? But everything just now is very real, our sense of touch, sight, smell is normal, and even the movements are real, is all this an illusion? Yue Guanchao was a little skeptical of what Song Siyuan said.
Song Siyuan continued to explain: "This hallucination is not a hallucination as we understand it, but something wrong with our perception, people have pineal gland in their brains, and if there is a problem with this thing, it is easy to have perceptual confusion, I guess these brains can use people's pineal gland to influence people's judgment of the outside world, which is different from what monster hallucinations we usually see, which directly affects perception from the human brain level, rather than changing vision with foreign objects." ”
"Don't forget, the giant himself has fused with the mycelium, and the spores he emitted are likely to have hallucinogenic effects, I remember that there is a kind of brightly colored wild mushroom in Yunnan Province, and if you eat it, you will have an extremely real hallucination, as if a strange and gorgeous world appears in front of you, this situation is the hallucination caused by poisoning, if the spores here also have the same effect, I think we have been infected with some kind of neurotoxin, and together with the abnormal perception of the pineal gland, it has formed what we see is also real and illusory, for us, real is an illusionThe illusion is also real, and the two are difficult to detect, and of course it is even more difficult to distinguish. ”
"Then let's go in now, isn't it a dead end?" Yue Guanchao said.
Song Siyuan said: "If we don't go in, will we have a way to live?" The fish talisman is still in the giant's body, and the skeleton we saw just now is obviously a rotten dry bone, but now it has reverted to a bloodless white death, which shows that we have always been under the control of the giant. ”
"Perhaps, even our escape may be a delusion, and we will find out what is going on when we go back."
Yue Guanchao had no choice but to take them back to the shrine, at the same time, those white-faced dead people had surrounded the door, and the giants were still struggling in the river pool, trying to escape from the flames.
Yue Guanchao looked at the giant and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do by trapping us in illusions?" ”
When this sentence came out, the giant's face became extremely cunning: "Flesh and blood can only sustain my body, my spirit is too lonely, the loneliness makes me feel extremely painful, I want to turn all people into mycelial symbiotes, let them become my kind, let their memories be used by me, all living creatures are my senses and tentacles, and all consciousness is my memory......"
This sentence made everyone feel like they were on the edge of the abyss, and a cold wind seemed to blow on their backs, and a layer of sweat hairs rose.
Yue Guanchao thought that the purpose of the giant was to control more people, and he also thought that the purpose of the giant was to escape from the clothed mound, but he didn't expect that what he fought was actually the idea of memory.
If they understand it in this way, they will also understand the true purpose of the giant - as long as the animals and plants in Shennongjia are transformed into mycelial symbionts, through the connection of mycelium, they will become the organs of the giant to explore the world, with their actions, the giant can instantly reach any distance, and at the same time, their memory also belongs to the giant, which can make the giant continue to chew on the memory and relieve the abnormal pain of loneliness. ”
Song Siyuan listened to the giant's words, slapped the back of his head suddenly, and his eyes lit up: "No wonder, how can I forget this, the giant, as the last individual of the race, will always be lonely spiritually, if he wants to become not lonely, he will either create more of his kind, or, he can only frantically grab the memories of all living creatures to experience the different lives of living creatures." ”
"If it was in the previous situation, the giant was still kind, he had neither the ability nor the heart to do so, and after the fish talisman entered the body, some foreign consciousness changed his mind, so that his evil side was stimulated, and of course, the Beifu soldiers and the ghost people were all turned into mycelial symbiotes."
"If he continues to assimilate, all living creatures will eventually escape from Shennongjia, and when the time comes, even the living creatures outside Shennongjia will be inevitable."
"The problem is!" She changed her words: "After so many years, since giants can control living creatures, why don't they control those corpses and open the locks, but wait for us to come, unless ......"
Song Siyuan's brain was running rapidly, and wonderful ideas continued to unfold in her mind, and a thought finally filled her mind, and she said with an excited expression: "Unless, he is trapped here and can't get out, and the living creatures controlled by him are also trapped here." ”
"What the hell is it that can trap him here, even the ghost party can't solve it!"
Song Siyuan looked out of the door, her eyes kept browsing everything in the cave, and found that there were never corpses around the twelve dementor bones, and her eyes lit up: "Yes, it's the twelve dementor bones, it's the chaotic space created by these stones, trapping the giant here, even if he wants to get out, it's impossible to get out of this area." ”
Yue Guanchao asked, "Is it possible?" Since these twelve dementor bones are from the ghost party, their memories are all in the hands of the giant, and he should know how to make the dementor bones invalid, or escape. ”
Song Siyuan took a long breath and said: "At that time, in order to hide their traces, the ghost people used the twelve soul bones to create a chaotic space and isolate them from the outside world. ”
She paused, and said in a mysterious tone: "As for how to destroy the twelve dementor bones, it is even more impossible for ordinary ghost people to know, come to think of it, the ghost people who know how to solve these dementor bones have been turned into ashes, for thousands of years, the ghost people only know that the dementor bones are working, but they don't know how to eliminate the chaotic space created by the dementor bones, let alone how to destroy the dementor bones." ”
At this point, the truth of the soul bone was clear, and she suddenly explained: "In other words, the chaotic space has become an unsolvable legacy labyrinth in today's era, trapping both outsiders who come to Shennongjia and ghost people, under this premise, no matter how many memories of the ghost people the giant grabs, they can't find a way to escape from the ghost world, so they have been trapped here for nearly two thousand years." ”
Song Siyuan's expression was excited: "To put it more colloquially, the chaotic space trapped the giant, so that he could not escape, these thousands of years have eaten the living creatures of the ghost world, and in order for the giant to continue to survive and grab memories, there is only one way left, escape from the ghost world." ”
She continued, "Well, the giants brought us here, not to eat us or assimilate us, but to let us outsiders physically destroy the Dementor so that he could escape, which is why we have survived until now. ”
With that, she looked at the giant with a serious expression: "You want us to destroy the dementor bones so that you can escape, do you?" ”
The giant listened to her words, nodded and said, "You understand, do what I say." ”
Yue Guanchao didn't expect that the giant's mind was so hidden, and he came all the way, it is estimated that he has been observing them through various living creatures, ring by ring, and tricking them into a well-dressed mound, now that he knows that they will not be able to die for a while, of course he is not so nervous.
He pondered the current situation carefully and thought about it: "Then, this also means that if we die, if you want to escape, you don't know that you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, maybe before that, you will be starved to death." ”
"Since you have a request for us, then immediately accept the illusion used on us, otherwise, we will kill ourselves, so that you will never be able to get out of the ghost world again, and you will be trapped here alive."
As he spoke, Yue Guanchao picked up the shotgun and aimed at his eyebrows: "In this position, as long as you shoot us, we will die immediately, as for whether you will starve to death or not, you yourself know in your heart." ”
After him, all the remaining people raised their shotguns in unison and aimed them at their own eyebrows.
This threat obviously worked, and for the first time, the giant's face showed fear and anxiety, and his eyes were angry and said: "You don't dare, how do you know that all this is an illusion, if it is real, you will die if you shoot this shot." ”
Yue Guanchao smiled crookedly, and teased: "Then it depends on who can afford to lose, anyway, we will lose one life at most if we die, but can you bear the consequences?" It's better to die than to starve to death, and it's not us who will be tormented for thousands of years. ”
In the current situation, Yue Guanchao is indeed not accurate, but since the giants need them to live, this is a good opportunity to trade, if one shot is fired, it is really dead, and it is not a loss to be buried with an old monster who has lived for thousands of years.
"Ah~~ Damn, you dare to negotiate terms with me."
As soon as these words came out, the giant roared angrily, instantly stirring the pool of blood, and the mycelium vines continued to circulate, although these vines were fierce, they never dared to hurt them, Yue Guanchao noticed this, and felt that everything they saw might be an illusion.
Yue Guanchao looked down at the shotgun, glanced at Song Siyuan, and everyone pulled the trigger in unison.
Bang~
Shotgun bullets flew out, and the stirring shrine kept making strange noises, but in an instant, Yue Guanchao felt that his eyes were dark, and he slowly opened his eyes.
After his eyes returned to clarity, he looked down and saw that what he was holding in his hand was only the mycelium wrapped around his neck, and the other people behind him were in a similar situation, his neck was all wrapped around the mycelium, forming a hanged ghost being hung in the air, he pulled out the dagger on his waist with his backhand, and directly cut the mycelium of others, and at the same time, also cut the mycelium of others.
Everyone came to their senses, and they began to look around, the resurrected skeletons had returned to normal, even the brilliant light outside had disappeared, and it was pitch black outside the shrine, and there was no vision.
Inside the shrine, countless mycelium has occupied all the corners of the shrine, shaped like a spider silk full of insect nests, on the mycelium rattan webs that can be seen everywhere, you can see trembling red and white human brains, these brains are like flying insects that have entered the spider webs, scattered and suspended in the air.
