Lu Changsheng was very sure that the Fengdu City in front of him was definitely not the one in the real world. There was no trace of any demon activity here.

This was not the first time that Lu Changsheng had experienced such a situation. After a brief shock, he asked tentatively, "Is this a dream? Or an illusion?"

"This is a large illusion built by the teacher." Ghost Rabbit confirmed Lu Changsheng's guess and explained, "After becoming a Venerable, the spiritual awakener can use many abilities to control the senses."

"The most basic application is called [Question of the Heart], which can completely affect a person's five senses, including cognition, and make people cooperate with the caster obediently. It is usually used for interrogation."

"In battle, spiritual awakeners can also use [Question of the Heart] to directly control enemies with lower levels than themselves. Therefore, there is absolutely no cross-level challenge when facing spiritual awakeners."

Although Ghost Rabbit's voice was through the mask, Lu Changsheng also heard the pride hidden in his words.

That's not necessarily true, girl...

Your [Conscience] is useless to me...

Lu Changsheng thought in his heart.

"A more advanced application is the Fengdu City we are seeing now." Zhong Peipei took over Guitu's words and continued to explain to Lu Changsheng.

"A spiritual awakener can cover a certain area under his own pressure, forming an illusion that is completely different from the outside world. The name of this ability is [The Other Shore]."

"In actual combat, [The Other Shore] is generally used to trap and kill the enemy. The illusions in [The Other Shore] are all the scenes that the target desires or regrets the most."

"Once you are hit, it is very easy to be trapped and killed in it."

"Even if you react in the first time, the caster can change the environment in the illusion to slow down the enemy's pace."

"It is very difficult for a non-spiritual awakener to break through [The Other Shore] by brute force."

Isn't this the ability of Xiao Heizi?

Lu Changsheng subconsciously remembered the experience of entering the illusion twice.

But he soon found a bright spot.

Xiao Heizi pulled Lu Changsheng into the illusion twice, but he didn't have any killing intentions, and Lu Changsheng also took the initiative to cooperate with him, so the [God Spirit] didn't turn on the automatic defense.

But he and Cui Hao didn't have any friendship at all, and they were completely strangers.

Why has he been in [the other shore] for so long, and the [God Spirit] still has no reaction?

"It seems that this illusion created by Mr. Cui didn't intend to trap us, right?" Lu Changsheng said as he followed his companions into Fengdu City.

Zhong Peipei and Guitu fell silent at the same time, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn.

"We have explored this illusion many times before." Xia Lin noticed the change in the atmosphere and took the initiative to take over the conversation.

"The conclusion we finally came to is..."

"The target of this illusion is Mr. Cui himself."

"This Fengdu City is the Fengdu City before it fell in his memory."

"Mr. Cui..."

"locked himself up here."

"No matter how many days have passed, no matter how many times the sun rises and sets, he is forever trapped in this day, repeating over and over again."

Lu Changsheng saw Guitu quietly clenching his fist, and Zhong Peipei's face, which seemed to never change, also trembled slightly.

Is he trapped in his own obsession?

If this is the case, it will be a bit tricky...

Obviously, he is a spiritual awakener who is good at using illusions to fool others, but he used the means on himself.

Is this the so-called doctor can hardly heal himself?

Lu Changsheng's thoughts turned quickly in his mind, and he looked up again.

The Fengdu City in front of him did not look fake at all, and the streets were crowded with vendors, shouting hard. In the narrow alleys, several children chased and played, and their laughter was crisp and pleasant.

In the teahouse, several old wooden tables were full of people, they were drinking tea and chatting, or playing chess, and everyone's face was filled with leisure and freedom.

Lu Changsheng and his party walked through this bustling street scene, but their hearts were mixed. They knew that this illusion was not only a memory of Mr. Cui's past, but also his deep desire and yearning for a better life.

There is no war or demon tribe here, it seems that everyone is living for themselves.

The group soon arrived at the door of the city lord's mansion.

Unlike the real Fengdu City, there are no guards here, and everyone can enter and exit freely.

Xia Lin led everyone to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion with familiarity. Before opening the door, she greeted loudly, "Mr. Cui! I'm here again!"

"I heard you, I heard you. I'm not deaf. Why are you yelling so loudly?"

A strong voice came from the courtyard wall.

In Lu Changsheng's imagination, Cui Hao has been a frontline commander for most of his life, and he is also the lord of Fengdu City who is responsible for the first line of defense. He is probably full of murderous aura and wants to kill anyone he sees.

But after actually meeting, he realized that he had thought too much.

The old man in front of him was half leaning on a rocking chair, wearing a loose white vest, and a pair of worn flip-flops under his shorts. With his slightly round and fat face, he didn't have the style of being on the battlefield at all.

If paired with a cattail leaf fan, it will look like a retired veteran cadre.

Just as he was thinking about it, Cui Hao actually took out a cattail leaf fan from behind the rocking chair and shook it gently towards himself.

Good guy, this is the right look...

Lu Changsheng complained silently in his heart.

"I said Lin Wazi, why did you think of coming to see me today?"

"Did you find any new gadgets you want to show me?"

Mr. Cui enjoyed the warm sunshine, looked at Charlene with half-squinted eyes, and said.

Charlene walked a few steps quickly and came to Mr. Cui's side. "I'm not here to play with you today. I have serious business."

Cui Hao raised his white eyebrows and looked at Xia Lin with some amusement, "Come on, every time you come to me, you say you have something serious to do, but you end up talking nonsense."

"By the way, Pepe, why are you hiding behind the door?"

"Come here with Hongxiu. I'm retired and I won't eat you. Why are you still the same as when you were a kid?"

Cui Hao turned his head and looked at Zhong Peipei and Ghost Rabbit outside the door and waved.

"Teacher...have you...forgive me?" Zhong Peipei's eyes quickly blurred, and her tone became choked.

Cui Hao looked at his students with a kind face and said slowly, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are my students, how can we have an overnight feud?"

"Come here quickly, I'll ask your wife to cook you something delicious."

"The old woman has been too lazy recently, it's time to let her move."
