Main Volume Chapter 156: Illusion Nemesis, Gugu!
The power of inheritance was too strong, so the Ajid members were completely unable to withstand it and were quickly wiped out by Zhang Yun and others, leaving only corpses everywhere.
"so close!"
"I almost fell into the illusion!"
Zhang Yun said, "This is normal. After all, this illusion was created by the phantom of the Ancient Evil God, and it was amplified by various high-level magic stones. Even Ajid himself didn't dare to come in. This is obviously a high-level illusion with an astonishing degree of reality."
"There's nothing wrong with trapping us all."
Kuula asked in confusion: "How did you find out?"
Zhang Yun spoke the truth: "The sense of disharmony... Although this physical illusion is real and easy to get caught up in, it is not unsolvable because it will produce various logical loopholes. If you look carefully, you will find something wrong."
These include "going on an adventure alone", "strange entanglements", "forgotten teammates" that Zhang Yun realized, as well as "disappearing civilians" on the streets, "ancient battlefields with incorrect entry levels", "task prompts that are almost the same as the first mission", etc.
If you think about it carefully, there are many problems and it is completely inconsistent with the logic of reality.
After hearing Zhang Yun's explanation, Kuula recalled what happened in the illusion and found that something was indeed wrong. She would actually leave the team and go alone to investigate the details of the Sakura Group. Especially after encountering danger, she did not go to find Zhang Yun immediately to protect the most important "His Majesty the Holy King".
The residents of the city of the Rising Sun Country were also very confused. They were clearly attacked by a wave of monsters, but they disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the army defending the city never showed up...
At this time, Zhang Yun added: "We are actually lucky this time. Although this illusion is advanced, it is not very lethal and progress is relatively slow."
"If the enemy's illusion ability was a little stronger, we might be dragged down by the monsters in the illusion before we even realize we've been hit, and then we'd be stuck in a tough fight."
"When you get caught up in a tense battle state, it becomes difficult to pay attention to details, which results in you not realizing it's an illusion, and you end up falling into a vicious cycle."
"Then, you will find that there are endless monsters in this fantasy world."
"Your situation inside will become increasingly difficult, and you will eventually fall into complete and unsolvable despair, and your mentality will collapse."
"When your mentality is completely broken, the enemy will cancel the illusion, come to your side, and deal a fatal blow to you in reality, taking your life without any effort... "
To be honest, this kind of physical illusion is indeed troublesome. If the toad's phantom was more powerful, Zhang Yun might also suffer in it, and not even realize that it was an illusion until the end.
but.
It's not invincible either.
Even if the person is completely trapped, there are still ways to remedy the situation.
Lucina frowned: "How do we break the advanced illusion formation?"
Zhang Yun said: "There are three methods. The first one is what I just said. If you find the sense of disharmony, you will realize that everything is an illusion. Then continue to observe carefully and you will find more loopholes."
"No matter how powerful the physical illusion is, there are always a lot of loopholes in it. If you look carefully, you can find a lot of them... Especially if you are strong enough, the monsters in the illusion can't do anything to you. They will find something wrong during the battle and eventually guess that this is a fake world."
“And the second way is.”
"Don't be too nervous."
"Because even though feels real, it's actually fake. It only exists in your mind and won't affect your real body."
"Even if you lose limbs in there, it's only an illusion. Your actual body won't lose a single hair."
"At the same time, because the reality inside is too strong, it will also slightly modify the memory of the creatures that enter, so the enemy himself dare not go in directly, for fear of being trapped along with them."
"They will not be able to attack the people in the illusion while it lasts. Once they launch an attack, the first thing they will destroy will be the illusion array, and you will wake up from it immediately..."
"So as long as you don't lose your mindset and wait until the illusion ends, you can directly counterattack the enemy instead of being taken advantage of by the enemy."
"As for the third one."
"That's the method I used just now. Once you find that you are prone to hallucinations, immediately use the props and drugs to break the hallucinations. It's simple, crude, fast and effective, and can defeat all illusion arrays!"
"Or use it in advance to completely eliminate secret techniques such as the Illusion Array and avoid falling into the enemy's rhythm."
In fact, there is a fourth type. No matter how the illusion comes, no matter how fancy it is, we don’t care and we are not afraid.
After all, there are a lot of resurrection coins in the bag. You can be resurrected no matter whether you die standing, sitting or lying down. It is not a waste at all.
This special solution for the fourth disaster...
Lucina tilted her head, "Hmm, you know it so clearly, have you ever encountered a similar secret technique before?"
Zhang Yun did not hide it: "Yes."
Oh, more than just encountering it, in the later stages of playing in the illusion, there are groups of BOSSes everywhere, and you can get hit if you are not careful, so players in the later stages will specially prepare a few specialized followers that can counter the illusion secrets.
Or he could rely on his strong strength and observation skills to directly confront the secret technique, break the illusion, and save the cost of maintaining personnel.
But that was the late stage, when the player's main combat power was off the charts, and they had all kinds of powerful followers and props... and now Zhang Yun is still in the early stage, and Lucina and others who followed him cannot use resurrection coins, so they can't play like this.
So, Zhang Yun rummaged through her backpack, took out a new special summoning card, and called out the specialized follower inside.
The owl "Gugu" is a three-star specialized follower that targets all kinds of illusions and illusions. Like the web-catching spider, it is a guaranteed follower provided by the official to African players to prevent them from being defeated by the bosses who play illusions.
It possesses skills such as hypnosis and telekinesis, as well as a special passive "clear brain" that prevents it from falling into any illusions. It will not be affected by any illusions, and can also prevent the enemy's hypnosis and sleeping skills, allowing it to stay awake for 360 days.
If the situation today happens again and Zhang Yun and others fall into hallucinations, as long as Gugu is on the field and has not been killed instantly, they can use the active skill "Gugu Wakes Up" to free Zhang Yun and others from the hallucinations.
As a super powerful functional follower, Gugu's combat power is basically zero. Its only attack skill, "telekinesis", can only lift some small stones and throw them at the enemy to deduct a little blood.
I don't count on hypnosis, as it will be ineffective if the enemy is a little stronger. However, it does have a special effect in some special tasks of coaxing children to sleep...
Therefore, when this owl is summoned, it doesn't need to do anything but squat on Zhang Yun's shoulder. When the enemy uses the secret technique of Illusion Array again, it will be time for it to come into play!
Kuula saw the newly appeared Gugu and couldn't help but move closer and touch Gugu's round head: "What is this?"
"Gugu, I use it to..." Zhang Yun explained, explaining that Gugu's specialized ability is specifically aimed at the illusion array. If they encounter the situation today again in the future, they don't need to worry at all, and they can directly dissolve the enemy's illusion in seconds.
However, some special illusions cannot be resolved, such as the demonic barrier that Lucina encountered when she awakened. Her body is awake, but her emotions are out of control, and no matter how you call her, you can't wake her up, so you have to rely on specialized followers like Undine who can stabilize her emotions.
Afterwards, after a short rest, the group set out again. They did not encounter any attacks from Ajid along the way and directly entered the real territory of the Rising Sun Kingdom.
Then they arrived at the city that appeared in the illusion, Dongsang City.
The wandering thugs , the patrolling warriors, everything was exactly the same as in the illusion, including the group of "rebels" that Zhang Yun had spotted with her insight, who were also strolling around the streets in a swaggering manner.
Ah?
Is this an illusion created based on this city?
No wonder the truth is so scary!
Zhang Yun did not hesitate and led the inheritance team directly into the land of romance, looking for Miriko Hanyu inside, but found that she had left here not long ago.
Including other members of Agito, they all fled with Miriko and did not dare to stay in the city for even a moment.
Only an empty shell of the Sakura Group remained, filled with ordinary rebels who were unaware of the inside story and thought that Miriko and the others were just on a secret mission.
Zhang Yun: “…”
That's right. Ajid now has super communication means. After he breaks through the illusion array, Hanyu Miriko will definitely receive the news first and know that she will only wait for death if she continues to stay in the city. She is no match for me at all.
So, she simply abandoned the city and fled with her men.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. When you die, there will be nothing left.
If he's alive, he might cause me some trouble later on. What if he kills me in the process?
I can only wish her dream come true...
Next, according to the plan, everyone took a day off in Dongsang City to relieve the fatigue of crossing the desert and to gather some information from the East, especially the current situation of the Great Xia Dynasty.
With the badge of the Great Xia Royal Guards and Lucina's whereabouts completely exposed, Zhang Yun was too lazy to slowly "fake" information and directly broke into the City Lord's Mansion of Dongsang City, intending to find the city lord "Honda Tadakatsu" here to directly ask for information.
"The Great Xia Imperial Guards are investigating the case!"
"Who is the city lord?"
"come out!"
"It's me! Sir! I am the city lord! My name is Honda Tadakatsu!" Seeing the badge of Daxia's Royal Guards, Honda Tadakatsu was shocked and hurriedly came in front of Zhang Yun, bending down respectfully.
The armored warriors around who had wanted to step forward to stop them retreated in fear, put away the weapons at their waists, and dared not act recklessly again.
"quick!"
"hurry up"
"Prepare seats for the adults!"
Honda Tadakatsu shouted to the guards around him, "There are also fruits and tea. Prepare them quickly. Don't neglect the adults!"
The guards quickly responded, "Yes!"
Zhang Yun raised her hand and interrupted, "No need, we just want to ask a few questions and leave after that. We won't stay."
He looked at the city lord and said, "We were ordered to go to the west to complete a confidential mission. We have just returned and are not very clear about the situation in the Great Xia Dynasty. We also have some special things to do and need to know the current situation. So I hope that City Lord Honda Tadakatsu can tell me in detail."
"Has anything big happened recently?"
After hearing what Zhang Yun said, Honda Tadakatsu thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, as for the Great Xia Dynasty, it seems that nothing major has happened recently... It's just that the monsters there are rampant, and this year they have become even more severe, attacking humans everywhere, and they are much more ferocious than in previous years!"
monster?
Getting worse?
It feels like it's Akito's fault again?
Could it be that they are cooperating with the rebels, working inside and outside to overthrow the Twelve Dragons of the Great Xia Dynasty?
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun asked again: "What else? Is there any news from the West, such as the Great Xia Dynasty forming an alliance with a Western country, or issuing a special arrest warrant to inform all vassal states that certain people must be arrested?"
Honda Tadakatsu stroked his chin and said, "There is no news of an alliance, but there is a particularly important wanted order... for a woman who might have come from the West."
"Her appearance was on several bulletin boards in our city. Because the person who announced the news was an official from the Great Xia Dynasty, I remember it very clearly."
A woman from the West?
Lucina?
It seems that the smoke bomb released by Ajid has taken effect. Lucina must not reveal her true appearance, and Kuula must find a way to disguise her as a man, so that she will not be mistaken for Lucina by the blind people, and then cause a series of troubles...
"Fine!"
"I see!"
"This information is very important to me!"
Honda Tadakatsu quickly saluted and said, "It is my honor to help you, sir. May I ask if you have anything else to do for me? If it is a problem , I can solve it for you!"
Zhang Yun said: "No..."
"etc!"
He changed the topic and said, "There is one. There is a group of monsters in your city. I wanted to destroy them, but unfortunately they escaped before I arrived."
"One of the leading monsters is named Hanyu Miriko, the top geisha of Fengxuelou. Please help me find out where she went and tell me."
"By the way, issue a wanted order for her. Ask other cities in your Rising Sun Nation to be on the lookout for her and send more powerful professionals to hunt her down. Don't let her escape."
"And her organization, the Sakura Group, do you know that?"
Honda Tadakatsu was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "Sakura Group? Isn't this a small gang of thugs? Was it founded by a monster? "
Finished!
This small gang organization is so powerful?
As the mayor of the city, I actually didn't notice anything, didn't send anyone to investigate, and allowed them to develop in the city and recruit so many members...
Zhang Yun said: "Yes, they also distributed a special holy water for those who joined them to drink, which could improve their physical fitness."
"But in fact, it is magic water. If a certain monster is summoned, it will parasitize the body of the person who drinks the magic water, and then control their body and mind, greatly enhancing their strength and speed, turning them into a very powerful army..."
Afterwards, Zhang Yun told Honda Tadakatsu about the Sakura Group and the magic water, and asked him to send someone to investigate and find a way to remove the magic water.
It was a reward for the information he provided to me.
As for the matter of the rebels, Zhang Yun did not mention anything, wanting the city lord to find out on his own.
The main reason is that Zhang Yun is too lazy to care about the private affairs of other countries, so as to avoid accidentally becoming a bad guy and helping the party with bad nature.
after all.
Those people are dissatisfied with the current King of the Rising Sun Country. It is very likely that he is a tyrant.
Moreover, it is troublesome to explain the source of information...
