MTL - Inside and Outside World-Chapter 110 : break the illusion
"Sure enough, even if I burn my body, the obsession that hasn't dissipated is just waiting for this sentence..."
With the sentence "I love you", all the surrounding scenery faded like flowing water.
It's no longer a snowy night, but a day, the sky is bright, and the place is still a dilapidated mountain temple, with old wooden doors, and mottled statues of mountain gods, judges, and imps. In the temple, there is a brazier under the desk, and the fire has long been extinguished.
An old man was leaning against the foot of the table, his snow-white disheveled head tilted, motionless, apparently out of breath.
"It's dead, no wonder I couldn't absorb the strong emotions from you before."
Yan Luo deduced in his mind that this old man came to this mountain temple on a snowy night, his body was cold, and thinking of the poverty and desolation of his life, he suddenly broke out and threw the puppet into the brazier.
The puppet was burned until dawn to bring warmth, but after the old man's impulse passed, he felt regretful, and lost the only companion in his life, and it could even be said to be the spiritual sustenance of living. in the mountain temple.
The puppet burned out, the old man died, and the remaining obsession turned into this illusion.
Now that I think about it, what was broken was not the first level of illusion but two levels. One is that the old man regretted his action of burning the puppet, and Yan Luo saved the puppet—even if it was only an action in the illusion, it can be regarded as eliminating obsession .
Then, the obsession of the puppet girl, those scenes that keep emerging are the bits and pieces of it being with its master for decades.
A puppet with emotions can be regarded as a "ghost" in the soul. Ghosts also have feelings. Even if they are thrown into the brazier by their masters, they have no resentment. They exchange their bodies for warmth overnight, but the soul of the puppet girl also remains. An obsession.
Nothing more than a "love" word.
After Yan Luo said "I love you" to the puppet as Xia Sheng, this obsession disappeared.
"The main mission is complete, and you will return to the watch world in an hour."
There should have been a main line prompt when I entered before, but I couldn’t hear it when I was in a hallucination. Yan Luo looked at it and found that the main line task in this world is really simple, in line with LV1 level, and even simpler than the novice task-as long as you recognize it, what you see Everything is an illusion.
There is no need to think about cracking it, and realize that you are in an illusion, even if you are addicted to it and cannot extricate yourself, the program will send you back to the watch world after a period of time.
Of course, Yan Luo not only realized it, but also cracked it. There must be benefits—the settlement of the mission will be carried out when he leaves, and there is an hour left. He intends to see if there is anything in this mountain temple. something of value.
Just like playing an rpg game, rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
The mountain temple is very empty and simple, and it can even be said to be dilapidated. The statues of Jinjia mountain god, judge and imp are of no value. As for the beautiful puppet girl in the illusion, she was obviously burned to ashes in the brazier.
Saving the puppet is only in the illusion.
Yan Luo squatted down to examine the old man's body, and suddenly found that the head of the body was tilted on one side, and the two eyes were not closed, but open! The exposed eyes are white and hazy, without a trace of brilliance.
He found that the old man's right hand was clenched tightly.
"What's in your hand?"
Yan Luo probed and found that the skinny claws were tightly closed together, and it took him a little effort to separate the fingers with his current physical fitness. In the palm of the old man was a handful of white dust and a small string of burnt beads.
It was the one on the puppet girl's bun.
"So, it's considered dead together, right?"
The bead strings were just cheap things, and they were half-burnt. They were not worth much if they could be taken out, let alone not being taken away. This handful of dust should be the ashes of a puppet.
Yan Luo looked at the old man who was dying with regret, and seemed to be persuading and lamenting something:
"If you can't have it anymore, the only thing you can do is don't forget..."
"Eternal life will never forget."
He raised his hand and gently stroked the old man's eyelids. At this moment, a cloudy tear flowed from the corner of the corpse's eye and fell to the ground, but it did not disperse. Instead, it condensed into a bead-like crystal with a gray color. , the size of soybean grains.
Yan Luo picks it up in his hand, and the instructions for program testing are:
"Tears of Lamentation: Tears containing strong emotions and obsessions - from the puppeteer, containing emotions: remorse, sadness, nostalgia."
Seeing such an explanation, Yan Luo immediately thought, can the Wuxin puppet be used? But after trying it, I found that my talent didn't respond at all, I couldn't absorb emotion, and there was no abnormal fluctuation in this bead.
"Maybe... right now, my Wuxin puppet level is not high..."
The ability of the Wuxin doll, of course, can't just fuse the personality mask and combine the heroic soul mask. LV2 unlocks the ability to extract the mask. It is conceivable that LV3, LV4... will have more and more peculiar abilities. Yan Luo's instinctive feeling lamented Tears are the materials that Wuxin dolls need, but it's a pity that they can't be used at least now.
"Since UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has benefited from you, let's do something for you."
An hour later, a low grave appeared on the soil **** next to the mountain temple... Yan Luo dismantled the desk of the mountain temple into wooden boards, put them together and wrapped the body. As for the ashes from the handful of puppets , Naturally, he was buried with the old man.
There is no tombstone in front of the dwarf grave, only a wooden board as a memorial tablet, on which Yan Luo carved with a sword: "The Tomb of Xia Sheng and Yiyi", and beside it, there is a poem:
Turn into ashes in the mist, even burn without regret,
May the fate of this life be exchanged for perfection in the next life.
"The task is over, and the settlement will be made below."
"The main task is completed, 1000 bioenergy, 1 gene point."
"Break the illusion of obsession · 2, 2 gene points."
Strictly speaking, the harvest of this level 1 world is far worse than that of the ancient Greek world. There are only 1,000 points of bioenergy and 3 gene points—but Yan Luo is very satisfied. First of all, 3 gene points are very useful. Climbed quite a few hills - so easy.
Secondly, he had seen the spiritual world without any surprise or danger.
"Just an illusion, let me sink into it... If it is a high-level spiritual world, what should I do if I encounter those powerful ghosts? My physical body is not bad now. The energy, the Olympic flame, must be more lethal than ordinary spiritual power. The power of words..."
"In order to prevent encountering ghosts in the second-level world, do you need to activate certain genes in the perception domain? For example, elementary spiritual perception... But... the first compulsory world after the novice mission, there is no possibility of encountering ghosts. It's too big..."
Yan Luo was thinking secretly, and the light and shadow around him were also changing violently, and he returned to the watch world—that is, the corridor where Wang Dongwei's home was located—in a wave of time and space.
