Chapter 69: The Battle of Ideas (1)
Chapter 69
Du Zheng threw the yellow hair that had finally fainted on the ground, and turned around to face the coldness and darkness that filled the entire corridor, and couldn't help but shiver.
He ignored Roach's two dolls, and sure enough, they didn't come to pester him.
He hesitated when he saw Qi Yue's corpse at the door, and the cold in the room kept pouring out from the back of the female corpse, such a cold was unbearable, but the person who made it might not be able to withstand it. He anxiously tried to look behind the female corpse, and the most serious problem was here, and he couldn't see Roach.
He ignored the illusion of the female corpse, even if the cold and hard touch on his hand was real when he pushed the female corpse away, Du Zhengyi knew that it was just a shield made by Luo Qi to protect himself. He looked around his room and knew that Roach was in this room, but he couldn't see because Roach had finally begun to output consciousness in reverse.
He could see the quilt that he had piled up at the end of the bed when he got up, and he could see Roach's quilt under the desk, just as he had left in the morning, except that the quilt on the floor was now empty.
"Roach." Du Zhengyi sighed, "This is really an existential nightmare. ”
No one answered him, not even if he said something so human.
"Roach." He tried to concentrate on calling him, believing that Rocky's consciousness was everywhere and he must feel it.
The only thing that responded to him was the silence of the room, and the wind poured in through the smashed windows behind him, whistling angrily in the hallway, like Roach's fury. Du Zhengyi was facing the house, but he felt a strong pressure from the leeward room, and the invisible force pressed on his spine. He took a step forward against the force, and at that moment there was a sudden movement behind him.
He was taken aback, and was about to turn back, but he reacted again and firmly restrained himself, he knew that it was not true. But he could clearly feel a cold, hard body clinging to his back, and he knew what it was without even thinking about it. A woman's small hand rested on his shoulder, her nails blue, her fingers thin, and her blue-black skin clutched the dried flesh inside.
He sighed, not even bothering to shake the hand away. In his room, only he and the invisible Rocky were there, and maybe even they were facing each other right now. But at that moment, he heard a clear laugh in his ear, the delicate but dry laughter of a woman, mocking him at the right time.
"Roach, stop." Du Zhengyi muttered with a sigh. Luo Qi turned out to be such a natural master of manipulating consciousness, the battle of consciousness is like this, while attacking the other party's mind, while creating an extremely realistic scene, the more realistic this scene, the weaker the other party's consciousness, and the more difficult it is to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Until the end, when the fake is true, the truth is also false, and the attacked person can no longer escape the trap of consciousness, and the whole person is like a walking corpse, and the spirit is trapped in a dead circle and gradually withered.
Unconsciously, a sadness passed through Du Zhengyi's heart, like the rain that fell in the courtyard on Sunday afternoon, he stood under the eaves, with nowhere to go, and the rain fell on his face like tears. Gradually, he heard the sound of a jumping violin, without the slightest emotion, like rain falling endlessly in this world, as if describing the absurd rhythm of this world.
Suddenly he remembered that it was a child who played the violin. The blood of his parents was everywhere on the first floor, and the man had died, but the child was playing the piano on the second floor.
But where was he then? Is it an outsider standing in the courtyard, or the child who has been playing the piano on the second floor?
Suddenly, he came to his senses and realized that he was a man who had just come of age, standing in his room with tears on his face.
"Roach." He called, and the world still didn't answer him.
But Du Zhengyi already understands that this is a sadness that does not belong to him. He remembered the young Lotus Burner, the one called Jin Yu. She's not an advanced telepath, but she's gifted and proud of controlling people's emotions. But Roach, apparently a high-level telepath, and, moreover, has a natural talent for controlling people's emotions.
Illusions may be liberating, but emotional penetration can penetrate layers of barriers, penetrate the depths of the soul, and evoke emotions that do not belong to you. Then, perhaps, he will remove the shield of his mind himself.
He stood here, in a precarious position.
Du Zhengyi hesitated, and at this time, the female ghost behind him quietly retracted her hand, and Du Zhengyi watched in surprise as she pulled back and obviously gave way to the door.
He realized that Roach wasn't going to trap anyone here. He can pull away and get away without any harm. He hesitated for a moment, thinking about what would happen to Roach if he left. His consciousness had swelled and spread to such an extent that perhaps it was frightened that made him pray for the most primitive power within himself, which had existed since he was a baby, but he had never learned how to harness and manage it. He had awakened like a primordial beast that had slumbered deep in his mind, and he might still have a little self-awareness, but there was little he could do to restrain that power.
He would be tormented here alone, and he didn't know how much Roach's power would swell, but he was sure that no mage would dare to come near this place, and Roach might die of physical exhaustion or complete madness.
He cursed in a low voice, slammed the door shut, and slammed it shut, shutting himself in the door.
His irritability and his emotions towards Roach ignited the power of thought surging in the room, and in an instant the atmosphere in the room became tense, the light became dimmer, and more forms struggled to surge in the darkness.
Du Zhengyi didn't need to look closely to know that it would be the most frightening thing in countless Luo Qi's memories and his own memories.
He still had a little time before things got to a complete end. He had to make Roach understand that it was him who had returned, and Roach couldn't hear or recognize him, and the only possibility was that Roach had hidden in the depths of consciousness, so he could only approach him in consciousness.
It's just that the only way to do this is for Du Zhengyi to lower his own subconscious shield and let Luo Qi in. It's just that the result of this may also be that Du Zhengyi's consciousness was swallowed up and torn apart by Luo Qi. In addition to this, there is another more likely event, Roach's attack may not engulf him, but it will cause his old injuries to deteriorate dramatically and get out of control. These two possible outcomes are actually exactly the same.
