Siren Blade

Chapter 154 Ming Yi
The siren just stood in front of me.If it is an illusion, the young girl's body in front of her is so real, as if she is really standing in reality.

I went around in circles and observed her from different angles, but I still couldn't see any flaws.Unable to restrain curiosity, he tried to poke her cheek.As a result, it was naturally impossible to touch, and the fingers penetrated through her cheeks without any resistance, as if passing through a mirror, without even causing the slightest disturbance to the phantom.

"This illusion is just fabricated by your sight and hearing, you can't touch it," she reminded.

"Since you can fake my sight and hearing, can touch, taste, and smell also be simulated?" I mentioned the other three senses.

"Yes, yes, but I still need time to practice," she said.

"That's it." Although this kind of experience where someone is standing in front of you but can't touch it makes me feel a little fresh, but after thinking about it carefully, my current behavior is not very appropriate, so I retracted my fingers.

She whispered: "If you really want to touch me, I can also speed up the practice."

"That's not in a hurry." I looked at her phantom and fell into thought.

Now it looks like the siren has come to the real world, but there is still a dimensional difference from the picture I once drew in my mind.Once upon a time, when I met her for the first time, she walked with me on the street with people coming and going in a dream, and even chatted happily with me, ate delicious food, and shared my impressions after watching the movie.Although it was just a fake show she deliberately played for me, but I hope that fake play can become real.

I hope that one day she can walk out of the woods in the dark night, and she can smile freely in the sunshine of reality.Occasionally, I can also peek at that desire from her.But for some reason, she always has a strange resistance to the real world.

Seeing that I didn't speak suddenly, she seemed to have misunderstood something, and suddenly became flustered, and quickly defended, "That, I won't use it to do bad things..."

"What's wrong?" It took me half a beat to realize that she had misunderstood something.

Now that she can fabricate my perceptual information, changing the angle allows me to see only what she wants me to see.Although she can only fabricate visual and auditory information now, she still has a huge room for growth.In the future, not to mention other physical perceptions, even the perception of the soul may be fabricated.

Even, she has the computing power and analysis power like a supercomputer, which seems to have met the prerequisites of "brain in a vat".

If she wants, she can take me into a dream that is deeper than all the previous dreams combined.How can this not make people worry?

However, even I feel that there may be something wrong with me, and I am really not worried about that kind of thing.I am willing to believe in her with all my heart, in this girl who has promised me that she will always stand firmly by my side.

And, although I think that is impossible, even if she really wants to dominate me, she wants to get rid of the subordinate status of "weapon", and turn me into her "puppet", I will be willing accepted.So far, she has endured too many dangers with me under my willfulness, and has saved my life from the brink of death countless times, always responding to my call, becoming my sharp blade, and fighting for me fighting.

Therefore, if she asks, I will answer her call without hesitation, become her sharp blade, and fight for her.

To reassure her, I told her all of my thoughts.

Analyzing my state of mind to her like this, and telling her the truth, even I would feel embarrassed.But she is the closest good partner to me, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is of the same mind, and I must let her know my truth no matter what.However, her reaction was much bigger than mine.After listening, she was stunned for two or three seconds as if disconnected, and then her phantom was violently disordered like a reflection on a lake being hit by heavy rain, and finally disappeared.After a while, her phantom reappeared in front of my eyes, as if she had regained her usual calmness.

"I, I know," she said, "but I really wouldn't do that kind of bad thing, really."

"I believe in you." I said, "Then, how are you going to let me see Mingyi's memory?"

"Just like the last time you looked at Yuchi's memory, it allows you to read his memory from his perspective. Because the perceptual information is ready-made, I don't need to fabricate it, so it can also simulate all his percepts at that time." She said, "However, since your perception is covered, you will become unable to perceive changes in reality. Even if a demon appears and attacks you, you will not be able to see or hear it. So, um..."

I followed her words, "Leave the vigilance to you, can you?"

"Okay." She seemed a little happy.

"Well, here we go," I said.

"Yeah." Following her response, my vision changed.

The scene in front of me was no longer a street full of ruins, but a muddy ground under heavy rain.

"I" was firmly pressed to the ground by two strong law enforcement warlocks, and I couldn't move no matter how hard I struggled.In front of "I", a pair of high-end black leather shoes appeared. "I" raised my head vigorously, trying to stare at the person in front of me, but my head was pressed hard, and the face door hit the puddle on the ground.

"This is what happens when you disobey me, Mingyi." A man's voice sounded from above.

"I" couldn't hold back the anger exploding in my heart, and roared hoarsely: "The sentence is heavy!"
-
With the step-by-step reading, I finally grasped the ins and outs of Mingyi's downfall.

Just like what I knew in the past, Ming Yi used to engage in law enforcement work in a secular society, and insisted on fairness paranoidly.His growth experience is similar to that of most people. He has been instilled with a lot of conventional education since he was a child, for example, don't lie, don't hurt others to benefit yourself, and you must be obedient and obey the rules, otherwise you will suffer the consequences sooner or later.

Then, like most people, he gradually discovered when he grew up that the world seemed to be different from what he thought when he was a child.Many people who lie and harm others to benefit themselves not only did not reap the consequences, but became more shrewd, so that they seemed sincere and selfless, and some even became the pillars of society.

When there is a conflict between their own imagination and the real world, some people will feel that there is a problem with themselves, and some people will think that there is a problem with the world.The latter is generally regarded as a fool, and Ming Yi is such a fool.Generally speaking, even a fool like him will make some compromises under the blow of reality. It doesn't mean that he has to compromise to the point of giving up the bottom line. Skill".

But he is very stubborn in this regard, and he believes in the "broken window effect".He believes that breaking the bottom line and sticking to the bottom line again is much more difficult than sticking to the bottom line and having no bottom line.From this point of view, his paranoia also reflects that he is actually a person who lacks self-confidence.In many cases, it is not that he does not know that it is better to take a step back, but he is afraid that if he takes a step back, he will retreat again and again in the future.

In his mind, a truly powerful person is someone who has both edges and corners, but also can be smooth, who can instinctively grasp the balance, and walk on the tightrope of the soul like a flat person, while ordinary people can only choose one of the two.His former colleagues said he was a weirdo, but they had no way of knowing how vulgar he thought of himself.

After joining the Security Bureau, he still insisted on his own style, and even dug out the black material of his superiors as he did in the previous unit.

This time, the person he dug out was Ju Zhong, director of Mirage Security Bureau, and the black material he dug up was a dark deal between Ju Zhong and fanatics.

Just last month, Ju Zhong applied for a batch of high-tech equipment from the headquarters, but was robbed by a mysterious main-level warlock.The latter is two different characters from the "mysterious main warlock" who was active in the mist of the mirage later, and his true identity is a fanatic.The truth of this incident is that Ju Zhong sold those high-tech equipment to fanatics, and in order to conceal the truth, it was the result of "accidental robbery".

Seeing this, I couldn't help being stunned.Because it doesn't match what I know.

It is absolutely impossible for Juzhong to collude with fanatics, because the investigation team has already done an extremely thorough investigation.In order to prove Juzhong's innocence, members of the investigation team even claimed that they had summoned Juzhong's remnant soul by performing necromancy, and ordered the remnant soul to tell the truth.Is there any more convincing evidence than this?
unless……

Unless that investigation team member is lying.

I am afraid that the investigation team itself is not innocent.Headquarters sent them over to investigate the robbery of the equipment, and it was a show from the beginning.

Their task is not to find out the truth, but to prevent the truth from being found out.

In Mingyi's memory, although Juzhong is also a researcher, his professional field is not in the dream world. The equipment related to dream technology has been prepared for fanatics from the beginning.

In addition, if there is no accident, the investigation team should have determined at a very early stage of the investigation that those devices were seized by the Liucheng Security Bureau after the Liucheng mass sleeping incident.He was still saying something, "I was thinking about talking to Lie Que in Liucheng, but at that time the super main warlock appeared." It is probably not such a coincidence, they probably didn't have the guts to talk to Lie Que .

It is no longer news that there are corrupt elements in the Security Bureau colluding with the Demon Warlock organization. Juzhong and the investigation team, as well as the behind-the-scenes people who sent the investigation team, are obviously of this type.What these people are most afraid of is the list that once used them as prey to bloodbath the Security Bureau.

Closer to home, Lie Que once praised Ming Yi's ability to track and investigate, and the reason why Ming Yi was able to investigate Juzhong's collusion with fanatics was also because he had fully utilized this ability.Regrettably, Ju Zhong is not a waste as the head of the Security Bureau. He immediately realized Ming Yi's change, and immediately launched a hunt for him.

Those who colluded with the demon warlock organization in the Phantom Security Bureau at that time, except Ju Zhong himself, and several of his cronies.Although Ming Yi escaped their first wave of pursuit, he still fell into Ju Zhong's hands in the end.

Much of Mingyi's tracking and investigation abilities are the result of his accumulated experience while working in the law enforcement departments of the secular society, and he also has a strong detective talent.He used to shine in law enforcement with this ability, and he also knew how to avoid being tracked and investigated by others.And this kind of skill in the world of common sense can sometimes search for clues that even spells can't find from its own unique angle, but it's still too naive to use it to compete with unreasonable spells.

Ju Zhong didn't immediately kill the man after he caught him. He also planned to ask Ming Yi if he had told other people the black material, or if there were other "accomplices".

The answer to these two questions is "no", but of course Ming Yi will not say what the other party wants.Both Juzhong and his cronies were not good at torture, so they handed over Mingyi to the "professionals", that is, the devil warlocks who were active in the mirage at that time - the subordinates of the fanatics.

For warlocks, especially demon warlocks, whether the subject of torture will tell the secret in his heart has nothing to do with the willpower of the subject of torture itself.Telling the truth, reading minds, searching souls... Even people who have undergone high-intensity confrontation training dare not say that they will be able to withstand the torture of demon warlocks, let alone Ming Yi, a warlock who has become a monk.

After digging out all the details of Ming Yi, the demon warlocks were not in a hurry to kill him, but continued to torture the law enforcement warlock cruelly.After ten hellish days, Mingyi's spirit and body collapsed, and the demon warlocks decided to kill him.

But at this moment, someone rescued him.He saw this scene with only one eye deliriously: In the dark and smelly basement, a silver light flashed, and the demon warlocks around him were torn apart, and the flesh and internal organs were mixed with plasma It crashed to the ground.He couldn't see who saved him, he could only vaguely see a black and white figure walking towards him stepping on blood.Then, he passed out.

When he woke up, he found himself thrown into a wasteland.The time seemed to be late at night, and the cold wind blew past like a ghost crying.It seemed that someone had done simple hemostasis for his injury, but there was still bone-eroding pain all over his body.And on the big stone next to him sat a person.

It was a girl in a black dress, with impressive long white hair, and a shiny silver rapier beside her.Originally, she seemed to be resting with her eyes closed, but when Ming Yi looked at her intently, she opened her eyes.Those are bright red eyes reminiscent of demons, shining in the dark like nocturnal animals.
