Raiders, Boys' Dream Factory!

Jin Fei's voice was not loud, but the moment the voice fell, the whole valley trembled.

Zhong Cuo was taken aback.

Mirage, something went wrong?

If the original valley was free-flowing water, now...

Water, frozen into ice.

Jin Fei was expressionless, and across from him, Zhang Baoguo was also expressionless.

Two children with very different looks, but with exactly the same expression.

"Here, can't you enter?" Zhang Baoguo said mechanically, opening and closing his mouth in a stiff voice.

"No, yes, advance." Jin Fei replied, every word was like a stone thrown on the ground.

The other children also slowly gathered together, their faces were all expressionless as if carved out of a mold.

The scene in front of me was like a horror movie, but also like... a puppet show that was too rough.

Yes, the puppet—Zhong Cuo finally figured out where this strange feeling came from. The stiff movements of Jin Fei and the children looked weird as if they were being deliberately manipulated.

The children seemed to have accepted Jin Fei's request, they turned around and walked out of the valley.Jin Fei stayed where he was, watching them leave indifferently.

If this is a puppet show, then now, it seems that it is time to end.

... the end?

"Huh? Are there any guests?"

The crisp sound broke the dullness in the valley.

It was just a moment, but it was almost an earth-shaking change.

The stiffness that shackled the entire valley dissipated in an instant, like ice melting into warm water, and the rigid expressions disappeared from the faces of the children. Zhang Baoguo, who was walking at the end, turned around and stared blankly at the person who made the sound. Looking at Jin Fei again, he looked puzzled.

The person who made the sound was also Jin Fei.

"This" Jin Fei suddenly appeared between them as if he had suddenly stepped out of the air.

He came to Zhang Baoguo with his hands behind his back, with a usual smile on his face: "Welcome, this is Jin Feigu."

"Jin Feigu?" Zhang Baoguo raised his eyebrows, "What a strange name."

"Because my name is Jin Fei."

Zhang Baoguo curled his mouth: "You named the valley after yourself?"

"Is this mine?"

Zhang Baoguo curled his lips even more fiercely, but there was a hint of envy in his eyes.

The two children standing together talking is a very harmonious and interesting scene, but if you add the expressionless but cold-eyed "Jin Fei" under the tree next to it, the harmonious and interesting scene becomes weird.

Jin Fei and Zhang Baoguo bickered with each other, "Jin Fei" stared at them coldly, Jin Fei said something to the children with bright smiles on his face, "Jin Fei" stepped forward step by step, stopped in front of him——

"what are you doing!"

His voice was sharp and piercing, but much smoother than before.

No, this is not Jin Fei's voice, but...

In a flash of enlightenment, Zhong Cuo finally understood the truth.

Accompanied by the voice of "Jin Fei", the valley became rigid again.

The only thing that hasn't changed is Jin Fei.

He raised his head and looked at another self who was exactly the same as him with gentle eyes.

But there is a bit of resoluteness that cannot be refused.

"Do me a favor," Jin Fei raised his head, and said in a clear voice, "Brother over there."

Zhong Cuo sighed slightly, and then, with the fastest speed, he awakened the power that belonged to the complete ghost king sleeping in his body.

The released power expanded rapidly under Zhong Cuo's deliberate connivance, and the phantom that could deceive him before was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the ghost king, just as he imagined, in order to adapt to his changing power, the perfect illusion , a gap appeared.

As if stones were thrown into the calm water, the valley in front of him twisted in an instant!

"What's going on!" "Jin Fei" raised his head, his face was still expressionless, but his voice revealed panic, "Why..."

He cast his eyes on Zhong Cuo, and there was fear in his voice: "You...what are you..."

"My name is Zhongcuo," he called out casually and shook the broken knife. The cold touch made the ghost king who had been tossed by the illusion for a long time feel comfortable. He raised his head and smiled at the people over there, "Experience the ghost king."

"Ghost... king?" "Jin Fei" looked at Zhong Cuo, as if he couldn't understand why he appeared in front of his eyes, "You shouldn't be... no..."

His voice was terrified, but his face was still expressionless, which looked a bit ridiculous.

As if knowing that Zhong Cuo couldn't give him an answer, "Jin Fei" turned his gaze back again, still looking at the boy opposite him.

Jin Fei's expression was calm, he just sighed lightly, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhong Cuo: "Amazing, Ghost King."

"An explanation?" Zhong Cuo raised his eyebrows and looked at Jin Fei.

"Explain?" Jin Fei smiled strangely, "What can you explain?"

His tone was relaxed, but the appearance of "Jin Fei" standing opposite him became more and more strange - he was still expressionless, but he seemed to be unable to stand up, his body swayed stiffly, and finally, he staggered Kneeling down, but still raised his head, staring at Jin Fei.

That appearance is still ridiculous, but also a bit sad.

He looked at Jin Fei, as if he was looking at the last hope in a desperate situation.

Jin Fei looked at him quietly, for a long time, he smiled, knelt down too, stretched out his hand, and cupped "Jin Fei"'s face.

He stared seriously at the other person's eyes, which were exactly the same as his, but with despair.

"All right, Fox."

"Enough is enough."

"It's over."

Three sentences.

After three sentences, "Jin Fei" closed his eyes.

With his movements, everything in the entire valley began to change.

The child who was standing not far away suddenly disappeared. Jin Fei's hut first became bigger and then suddenly turned into a mess. The trees in the valley grew taller and taller, and finally disappeared in the blink of an eye...

When the changes in the valley stop, "Jin Fei Valley" is no longer what it used to be.

Here, it's more like...

The Fox Valley that Zhong saw by mistake.

"sorry."

The only thing that hasn't changed in the valley of change is Jin Fei.

He was still the same, even with the same smile on his face, but with a bit of rare bitterness mixed in.

"Why?" "Jin Fei"—or should call him a fox—raised his head.

He stared at Jin Fei with the same expression, but his eyes were already full of tears.

Jin Fei was silent for a while, raised his head, and gently wiped away his tears with gentle movements.

He took a deep breath and looked at Zhong Cuo: "I'm sorry, but I'll trouble you this time."

"It's not troublesome," Zhong Cuo said indifferently, "It's just watching a confusing scene, and I was a little puzzled."

"Oh," Jin Fei smiled bitterly and scratched his hair, "What should I say..."

"Actually—actually, I'm not a living person, and neither are ghosts."

"If you want to say what it is... as for me, it's just a shadow."

He paused, as if he wanted to give himself the courage to continue: "This valley has been designed by someone hundreds of years ago, so it has become a little different, and there are mountain gods here. Later, I came to Well, some more came after I came, and the fox... so, it seems, it has become a little weird."

When no one found it, the valley was like a camera, faithfully recording the images in the valley.

From a long time ago, a daring doll entered, until in the distant future, that doll will never come back...

Zhong Cuo has heard of similar examples. According to the explanation of human scientists, it is a phenomenon of the geomagnetic field. The magnetic particles rich in the veins of the earth are arranged in a special way, "coincidentally" recorded the past images and under certain special conditions It may be released next time-this kind of explanation is basically tantamount to nonsense in the eyes of the ghost king. On his side, the reason for this matter is just one sentence.

The veins of the earth have spirits and can remember things in the world.

A mountain may produce mountain spirits, and a river may produce water spirits, but I have never heard of any land that produces monsters.There is no other, just because the land is too vast, to support such a huge body, the spiritual consciousness required is unimaginably powerful.

But sometimes, a certain land may have chaotic and vague spiritual consciousness due to changes in the surrounding environment and people.

That bit of spiritual knowledge is not enough to make it think, but it can let it keep what it likes instinctively.

It records the past in this valley.

"...When I came back, you were gone."

"yes."

"Nobody can tell me why."

Staring at Jin Fei, the fox's eyes turned blood red.

When it came back, I couldn't believe my eyes.

The beautiful and peaceful valley in my memory has completely changed. The towering trees were broken in half, and the hut they worked so hard to build turned into ruins. The most important thing is...

That person is gone.

It looked around with a little luck, because before leaving, Jin Fei mentioned that he wanted to go to school outside if he had the opportunity, but he searched all possible places, but he got the answer of "missing" from Jin Fei——

Missing ghost!

Humans might be fooled by this statement, but it doesn't!

It spent a lot of time looking for the answer, and it used the spells of finding people, but it concluded that Jin Fei did not exist in Yangjian at all.In the end, it was almost desperate, and even determined that even if Jin Fei was dead, it didn't matter, as long as its soul was still there...

"Soul-searching method, spirit-seeking technique, Yin-Yang study, I have used all the methods that can be used."

In the end, the answer was the cruelest one.

The sky, the underground, the world, and the ghost domain.

He is not anywhere.

Jin Fei no longer exists.

It will never find him.

In the end, the fox returned to Jin Feigu.

It was drunk for seven days and seven nights in the deserted valley, and it did everything with the power of alcohol. It violated the taboo Jin Fei set for it in the past, but no matter what it did, that person never appeared.

On the last night it lit a foxfire in the valley.

The blue and red flames illuminated the dark sky, and it sat slumped in the fire field, ignoring the ferocious flames that almost swallowed it together, staring blankly at the dim stars in the sky.

On that night, the quiet valley seemed unable to bear its madness, and finally showed it a miracle.

In this valley, the time that was recorded.

That was the crown jewel that made it ecstatic.

It is intoxicated in that period of past, I don't know how long it has passed.

It watched it get acquainted with Jin Fei, watched him grow up little by little, watched him meet more people, watched him longing to say that he wanted to go outside the mountain, watched...

Watch it all end.

The memory of the valley does not have what happened at the end, everything abruptly freezes, like a discordant sharp note, every time it wakes it up from a beautiful dream.

It is not satisfied.

Not satisfied with all that is just an illusion in front of its own eyes, it hopes to make it real.

Can be changed, real.

"So you made this illusion?" Zhong Cuo asked.

"I didn't 'make' it," replied the fox, "I just went in."

It's not that hard to send yourself into that past.It is really stupid and not good at illusion at all, but the memory of the valley is not picky. In its view, a leaf is no different from a person. It has everything in the valley in its memory, and the fox only needs to put It's just as well presented in its entirety.

That requires a lot of strength. Fortunately, although it is stupid, it has a lot of strength.

Its idea quickly became a reality, but the fox soon discovered that "changing the future" is not that simple.

Although the valley's memory is comprehensive, it does not have any innovative ability. It stores enough information that even people who get lost here think it is real, but they cannot use it to create the future.

A fox can put itself in and change "self", but it cannot change the future it wants to change.

Countless attempts, countless failures.In order to increase the possibility of change, it even brought in many people to help, but the result was without exception.

So it had a strange idea.

"You want to delete Baoguo and the others from the illusion," Jin Fei shook his head, with a helpless smile on his face, "You."

"If it wasn't for them, you wouldn't want to go out!" The fox blushed, gritted his teeth, and said viciously, "If it wasn't for him...if it wasn't for them..."

It was after those people came that Jin Fei began to think about "outside".Until a few years later, he made up his mind to go and see the outside world.

For this reason, the fox had a rare quarrel with him, and after a few days of leaving in anger, it regretted it. When it came back, everything had turned upside down.

All the culprits are those people!

Without them...

"You," Jin Fei didn't seem to be able to say anything else, he could only sigh and rub the fox's hair gently, just like he would rub its ears every time, "You, you... "

That stiff puppet show was naturally put on by the fox to achieve his goal.

It has no other choice but to act as Jin Fei at the critical moment, and at the same time control the rest of the children. As long as Zhang Baoguo who appeared here is driven away and they are not allowed to meet, the illusion will change accordingly, then everything will be as it should be. can...

"Don't think about it," Jin Fei sighed, "Even if you really drive them away here, what will happen next?"

"Let's talk about the future later!" The fox didn't even think about it, "I can change it in the future, as long as he is gone..."

"Even without him, there will be no difference." Jin Fei said lightly, "The memory of the valley will not change."

The fox stopped talking.

He pursed his lips and looked at Jin Fei silently.Maybe it's because he played for a long time, he has better and better control over Jin Fei's appearance, and gradually he can have some expressions.

"Why?" He stared at Jin Fei, "When did you...why?"

He didn't pay much attention when he discovered that the clock error appeared, and the illusions placed in the valley often inadvertently involved unrelated people. The clock error is just a common accident, until now...

"When..." Jin Fei raised his head and thought for a while, "I forgot too."

He himself doesn't know what's going on, he looks like a child, but he feels that he should be 20 years old in his mind, and his memory doesn't match the world in front of him at all. He spent a lot of time slowly sorting out his thoughts, and finally Found the problem.

This world is so realistic that the creators are gradually obsessed with it, even forgetting that it is just an illusion.

No, it should be said—from the very beginning, it hoped that all of this was true, right?

"I know, it's not that easy to wake you up. You've come in too deep. Even if I tell you, you only think of yourself as a fox in the illusion. What I said is all nonsense." Jin Fei smiled, "I really tried, but you can't hear it at all."

"It's funny, but you, a real fox, are willing to do things in the illusion, repeating it over and over again, and you don't get tired of it." Jin Fei stopped what the fox was about to say, and continued, "I know, I want you to wake up , you must first make sure that you are 'you', not the fox in the illusion."

"What should I do? I have to find a time when you must be awake, such as when you want to do bad things."

He raised his hand and poked the fox's face, smiling like a jerk: "I found the timing quite right, right? It's the first time I saw you turn into me, except for being a little silly, it's fine, keep working hard .”

The fox looked at him without opening his mouth.

"It's not enough to just interrupt you. I'm afraid that you will continue to pretend to be stupid. If you can't lie to others, you can just lie to yourself—so I have to ask someone to help me."

He raised his head, looked at Zhong Cuo, and smiled apologetically.

"It just so happened that this little brother accidentally fell in, so I asked him for a favor."

——Before he could act, Jin Fei suddenly grabbed his hand.

—— "For the sake of the person you're looking for, give me a hand."

The silent words were passed along the clasped hands, Zhong Cuo was stunned and nodded.

At the critical moment, Jin Fei used his own appearance to keep the fox awake, and then, with the help of the ghost king's power, he tore apart the illusion.

Only in this way can he have the space right now to say what he wants to say.

Pretty jerk, but something that has to be said.

Fox looked at him blankly.

It firmly grabbed Jin Fei's arm, and looked into Jin Fei's eyes, showing a bit of begging.

Jin Fei pursed his lips, and then he sighed.

He stretched out his hand and took the fox into his arms.

Very tender hugs.

He stroked the fox's back lightly, as if comforting a helpless child.

"Why..." the fox murmured, "Why?"

"Because you can't stay here forever."

"Why not?!" The fox's voice sharpened sharply, "Since you are here, why can't I stay!"

He suddenly pushed Jin Fei away and stared at him with despair and sadness in his eyes.

Jin Fei closed his eyes.

"Fox, I'm just a shadow."

"Jin Fei is dead, what is here is just a shadow."

"just one--"

He opened his eyes, his eyes were cold.

"It's just a phantom of nothingness that you created yourself."

What does it take to create a perfect illusion?

It takes a lot of strength, it needs to bear the pain that the brain is almost split, it needs the right time and place, and it needs all the difficult and tricky conditions...

What does it take to destroy a perfect illusion?

...just one sentence is enough.

the fox cried.

Tears welled up from its eyes and fell to the ground one by one.

Its body shrunk little by little, and its human form receded, revealing the body of a fox that was constantly trembling.

It curled up on the ground, letting tears soak its fur.

Jin Fei looked at him indifferently and shook his head.

"Come on, Fox."

The fiery red figure faded little by little, dissipated, and finally turned into nothingness.

It's out of here.

From the dreams it created.

Zhong Cuo watched everything happen quietly.

It's amazing that when the fox left, the illusion it created didn't collapse instantly, but changed little by little.The surrounding scenery gradually turned into tiny light spots, which looked very beautiful.

Even people who haven't changed in any way just now have changed.

He gradually grew taller, and his face also changed slightly. Jin Fei, who realized this, touched his face and sighed helplessly, "I'm going to grow up~"

Zhong Cuo looked at him and frowned: "Are you really a shadow?"

He didn't think that the memory of the valley could come up with such a plan, and could break the fox's defense so methodically.

"What else could it be?" Jin Fei looked at him and grinned.

Zhong Cuo didn't answer, just looked at him, Jin Fei shrugged: "Well, maybe I... am not just a shadow."

"In fact, it has been changing the illusion, but it doesn't know it. When it enters again and again, unconsciously, it also adds the 'Jin Fei' in its heart, and mixes with the shadow, which is me. !"

...sounds like a nonsense answer.

"Actually, it knows it itself. No matter how good this world is, it's not true. It's just that it doesn't want itself to know. It has no choice but to come here."

Jin Fei sighed.

"You don't know, in fact, it is really a very powerful fox. Although it is a bit stupid, according to the vixen who passed by, as long as it can break through, it has not been out for many years. It is a super powerful nine fox. Oh tail fox!"

When it comes to this, Jin Fei's eyes are full of yearning.

"You said, such a powerful fox... I can't let it waste all its time and cultivation on a shadow, right?"

He tilted his head and laughed.

"That's too wasteful, it's not worth it."

While the two were talking, everything in this space had been shattered into spots of light, and the entire space had turned into nothingness.

Jin Fei's appearance gradually took on the size of an adult, he stood up and jumped twice, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"By the way, let me take this opportunity to ask you something—I've wanted to ask you for a long time, but it wasn't appropriate before."

"Go ahead."

"How are Baoguo and the others?" Jin Fei asked seriously, "He married Yuyang, right? His son's name is Zhang Fei?"

"……Um."

"I'll just say it! It sounds like the name is his son! This guy is not bad, he is loyal enough, and I didn't forget to let the child use my name even after I died!" Jin Fei nodded happily, smiling from ear to ear, " That's the name... Cough, that kid will hate me forever."

"..." Actually, I didn't hate much.

"Are they all okay? How old is the kid now?"

"More than 20."

"It's older than me," Jin Fei sighed, "Time flies so fast."

"...can I ask you a question?"

"what?"

"At the time... when your accident happened, what happened?"

Jin Fei shrugged, and quickly replied: "It's nothing serious, don't let that fox fool you, I'm actually—"

His voice was interrupted.

Zhong Cuo was stunned.

In front of his eyes, another strange change happened to Jin Fei.

A large patch of rich blood appeared on the white shirt, and the dazzling red spread all over his body. He stood bloody in front of Zhong Cuo, looking as if he would turn into a cold corpse in the next second.

Looking down at himself, Jin Fei sighed.

"It's a good thing it didn't see this..."

"What's going on?" Zhong Cuo asked, gritted his teeth, and finally added another sentence, "Zhang Baoguo has been looking for you for the next 27 years, and he still can't let go!"

Jin Fei was taken aback.

In the end, it was a helpless sigh.

"Back then... I didn't blame him, and I didn't blame anyone."

"The one who made the mistake was me."

The final time limit seemed to be approaching, and Jin Fei's body also began to shatter into spots of light.

Opening and closing again, Jin Fei shook his head.

In the end, he still didn't say the answer.

All that was left to Zhong Cuo was an apologetic smile on his face and a barely audible whisper.

"Sorry……"
