Chapter 216: Transforming Community Experience (Twenty-Five)
Zhang You’s fall marked the beginning of the end of the fourth cycle.
This time, the controller had no excessive desire for pyramid schemes and didn't leave Zhang You any room to speak. But it also knew that this was no longer important.
The goblin tore out its fangs and its body turned into a pool of blood, and the environment finally became quiet.
According to the rules of the previous times, this moment is also the time when the entire illusion has the weakest control over Tang Xin Jue.
At this moment, whether the ghosts in her head were willing or not, they could not stop her from taking back some control of her body.
The first time, she could only say one sentence. The second time, she could say enough to make Li Xiaoyu angry and leave. And this time, she could feel that her body could move freely.
If I could continue to recover... Tang Xinjue held the blood-stained toilet plunger, his thoughts turning.
When her body was being controlled by |, she could also feel the abundant and vast energy in the weapon and use more powerful mental abilities, but as control returned, these powers were quickly withdrawn.
The illusion is like a false independent space that can block all the rules of the outside world.
——Is it possible that this state can continue forever, even extending beyond the illusion?
The consciousness in his body didn't know what she was planning, but he still instinctively sensed something was wrong and warned, "Friendly reminder, please restrain yourself and don't cause any big trouble here. This is a university town, not an exam copy where you can indulge in your misbehavior."
Tang Xinjue raised an eyebrow: "I'm sorry, I thought the word "restraint" didn't exist in your concept at all."
Who brought them in during team building in the reward copy for the examinees?
The voice paused and chuckled, "This isn't entirely our fault. If you hadn't been admitted to a top university so quickly, we wouldn't have had the chance to take action."
There is gain and loss, and the higher the level, the greater the risk you have to take.
That's the balance of the game.
Tang Xinjue was not surprised. This was almost the same as what she had guessed all along. Except for the second old acquaintance who ran away directly, Li Xiaoyu and the current invading consciousness were undoubtedly ghosts from the same university.
In addition to being more powerful, they can even interfere with instances. For example, Li Xiaoyu once directly deducted part of 606's exam reward in "Classic Movie Appreciation."
And the person she was talking to at the moment, if she remembered correctly, had once brazenly broken into a copy where he shouldn't have been.
Among the marks in her sea of consciousness, one seemed to be given by him.
"Long time no see, Wu Shi."
Tang Xin Jue stopped arguing and got straight to the point:
"You guys went to all that trouble to organize this team building this time. It shouldn't just be to let me know the valuable information about the future prophecy, right?"
Like Li Xiaoyu, once his identity was exposed, Wu Shi had no intention of denying it:
"Long time no see, classmate Tang Xinjue. You've grown much faster than I expected, even though your attitude towards friendship is still so outrageous."
Tang Xinjue: "?"
Faced with the sudden accusation, she reacted for a moment, then remembered that for the first time in the "Road Trip Tips" test, she had used a worthless piece of "friendship" to trick the other party out of nothing.
There were so many ghosts that she had tricked that she could hardly remember them all at once.
She smiled and said, "If your friendship means killing whoever you like, then by comparison, isn't my friendship stronger than gold?"
What's more, in this illusion that cannot withstand scrutiny, even her roommate is made up of another "actor" with a consciousness. Even if she has never awakened her spiritual talent, she shouldn't be unable to see that her best friend who she spends every day with is OOC, right?
She believed that Guo Guo's divine vision wouldn't be easily fooled by ghosts. Since Guo Guo had seen it, it meant that they might really face such a hurdle in the future.
But it is definitely not this kind of outrageous and idiotic drama of feuding.
The fact that they could think of using this method to attack her spirit probably shows that their understanding of human society has degenerated to the point where they can only read novels and fantasize about it, and they can only judge people by ghosts.
Wu Shi: [……]
If time was not limited, he would really like to know how such a perfect plot in the eyes of ghosts could be discovered.
But then he thought about it and understood: "No wonder the success rate wasn't very high when we experimented with the previous batch of candidates."
He thought it was because there was a very powerful healer inside.
Seeing Wu Shi frankly reveal the news about the previous batch of candidates, Tang Xinjue asked directly, "Did you detain them all here as well?"
Wu Shi didn't answer directly: "You really knew it a long time ago... When did you start to see it?"
Tang Xin Jue: "It's a coincidence that the person you chose to play Zhang You is someone I happen to know."
In fact, she had a vague feeling from the first time she appeared in the illusion - the performances of "Zheng Wanqing" and "Guo Guo" were both spooky, only "Zhang You" had a normal aura.
Not to mention the other party's attitude of repeatedly confronting Li Xiaoyu. It was not following the plot at all, but seemed like he was taking the opportunity to remind Tang Xinjue something.
——The phrase "life and death are not in our control" is the code that completely lifts the curtain.
There was only one person in her memory who could have said this specifically to remind her. It was a student with healing abilities who she had briefly worked with during the Dorm Friendship League.
The other party was betting on her memory, and he succeeded.
Wu Shi suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Li Xiaoyu saw that the illusion had no effect on him, so he restrained his consciousness and used your illusion to wear him down. After all, being forced into an unfamiliar soul setting is almost like being tortured to death for you humans. I didn't expect him to be so tenacious, he still remembers who he is."
When saying this, Wu Shi was so casual that it was as if he was talking about breaking off a blade of grass, rather than torturing a person to death.
[ As for how many people we detained, when you eat, do you remember how many grains of rice you eat?]
[But it doesn’t matter. You won’t see him again. We have a lot of fun things planned for you…]
Since this method is useless, they will not waste their time and send information to Tang Xinjue in vain.
As Wu Shi's power was about to be withdrawn, Tang Xin Jue's consciousness began to flicker again. But before she fell into darkness again, she suddenly spoke:
"No matter what you do, it's essentially a deception. This illusion has no power to harm me, right?"
"Or rather... it's not a damaging ability at all. At most, it's just a cage that binds me. And neither you nor Li Xiaoyu can actually attack me in this instance."
Guo Guo had fallen into this illusion, and so had the previous batch of candidates, but like Tang Xinjue, they were all still alive.
A tiger without teeth or claws is just bluffing no matter how loud it roars.
"You're using this illusion to confuse me. It's more of a bait than torture. You're using a [prophecy of the future] to lure me into willingly repeating this cycle. In our human cognitive system, this is called stalling for time."
In the other party's silence, Tang Xinjue's voice was as calm as if he was discussing lunch, but it was exceptionally clear:
"Li Xiaoyu can't touch me, and neither can you. You're waiting for someone who can break the dungeon rules and kill me. Who is it?"
…
Wu Shi knew that she had noticed a lot, but he didn't expect it to be so much .
And knowing the truth to this extent meant that even if he didn't answer, it wouldn't make much sense.
For a moment, he suddenly understood why Li Xiaoyu left so decisively in the second cycle, and why Shang Yinghong gave up so quickly in the third cycle... Were they really simply angered and ran away?
Or is the clown himself?
Just as he thought, it really made no difference to Tang Xinjue whether there was an answer or not.
Because the moment she determined Chuwu's identity, she guessed who the next ghost would be.
There were four ghost marks in her sea of consciousness, one of which had been erased by the entrance exam supervisor, leaving three. Now that the source of two of them had appeared, who could be the last one left?
Just at this moment, she suddenly remembered a name:
"Tell me, how could someone name himself the Chaos God?"
Wu Shi: [……]
This is a more difficult question to choose.
If he didn't answer, it would be like he was accepting the name.
But if he answered, what if Tang Xinjue was just frying fish?
For a moment, even the speed at which the darkness swallowed down was strangely delayed for a few seconds.
At this moment, the entire space suddenly shook violently !
That ghost came early?
Tang Xin Jue and Wu Shi looked upwards at the same time, only to see a faint white light emerging from the darkness. It was not accompanied by the coldness of ghosts, but by two familiar voices shouting:
"Heart Sutra! Are you in there—"
It was the voices of Zheng Wanqing and Guo Guo!
Tang Xinjue's heart tightened, and he immediately responded: "Don't come in!"
Although I don't know how they found the entrance to the illusion, I must not contact her at this time, especially before the third marked ghost appears...
I wasn't sure if she answered on the other end. I could only hear Guo Guo's voice coming from afar after a few seconds:
"Xin Jue, wait a minute! Wan Qing and I are fighting that illusion ghost! Once we defeat it, you can get out!"
Tang Xinjue: "???"
Wu Shi: “???”
The author has something to say:
Chaos God: First, I'm not human; second, what's wrong with me being called Chaos God? Even the name Shang Yinghong exists, so what's wrong with me being called Chaos God?
