Hush!secret

None of the three of them were brats, so they were calm.Especially Shang Zhongli, who let out a dissatisfaction: "Tsk! Didn't the mission complete?"

Chu Rui looked at Xu Yao, who was standing straight and looking at the residential building, and asked, "Senior, you are well-informed, and you must have entered illusions a lot, do you know what's going on?"

Xu Yao knew that Chu Rui was testing him, just like he was testing him when he was renting a house.

Rubbing his fingertips twice, Xu Yao asked, "Is the mission card still there?"

Chu Rui handed him the task card.

Xu Yao read the content on the task card, and frowned: "It stands to reason that the illusion of monsters is destroyed. Without the support of thoughts, the illusion cannot continue to be maintained."

"We think so too." Chu Rui said "we", and automatically put him and Shang Zhongli on the same side, and invisibly distanced himself from Xu Yao. Xu Yao could see his thoughts, but he didn't explain it.

The young man is not young, and he holds a grudge.

"Could it be that Yan Yan is not the main body of the illusion?" Xu Yao was afraid that the two young people would not understand, so he specially explained, "You should have experienced many illusions, and you can probably guess one or two. This illusion is actually the place in the fog. One small world after another, each world is composed of monsters transformed from people's ideas, which are the obsessions of that person in life."

Chu Rui nodded, they had already guessed this.

Xu Yao's eyes showed approval, he was not too stupid after all, he continued: "If the main body of the illusion is not destroyed, the illusion cannot disappear. I think Yan Yan cannot be the main body of this illusion. I was wondering just now after seeing her lantern. Although she was young and difficult, but in terms of age and experience, she is far from being able to form such a powerful and complete world, and now I am afraid that there is someone else... In this way, we will search separately to see if there are any monsters."

That being said, the outside of the community has been shrouded in fog, and the only area they can find is the community in front of them.

Shang Zhongli had just kept the corners of his mouth up after hearing Chu Rui's words, his silly appearance was in contrast to his 1.8 meters tall and stern demeanor.

They... He and Chu Rui.

So when looking for clues separately, naturally "they" got together.

"A Rui, follow me, don't run around."

Chu Rui looked at her hand that was tightly held by Shang Zhongli, as if she was catching some frisky chicken, for fear that the chicken would run away.

He wanted to run, did he run...

There are a total of [-] buildings in the place where the fog is not shrouded, and they have seven buildings. They agreed not to be impulsive when encountering monsters, and make a decision after gathering.

After searching the buildings one by one, not to mention the monsters, not even a shadow can be seen.

Chu Rui stood at the window and looked out of the window. The dark world seemed to be within reach of the floating thick fog. His eyes were unpredictable. He said lightly, "It seems that there are only three of us."

Shang Zhongli was taken aback when he was about to go upstairs: "There are only three breathing sounds?"

Chu Rui's silence said it all.

After a search, the three of them found nothing.

"Nothing at all."

Chu Rui looked at Xu Yao's gaze, raised her head, and her gaze fell into the boundless void.

"Could the real mission target be killed by us accidentally?" Shang Zhongli asked, it's not impossible, but he has never killed the mission target since he entered the illusion, so naturally not Know what the world looks like when the quest target dies.

Xu Yao shook his head: "Impossible, the revolving lanterns have appeared, which means that Yan Yan is the mission target."

"Then why can't we get out?"

The three were lost in thought.

For some reason, Chu Rui had the idea that they might never be able to escape from here, despairing and depressed.

The three decided to find a room to stay.

Chu Rui sat on the sofa, wrapping her arms around her knees.His head was groggy, and he looked like he was going to catch a cold.

"A Rui, drink some water." Shang Zhongli brought over a glass of water.

"Where did it come from?" It was steaming hot, as if it had just been boiled.

"I used internal force to heat up," Shang Zhongli said worriedly, "Your voice is hoarse."

Chu Rui didn't notice it, but when Shang Zhongli mentioned it, he felt a sharp pain in his throat.

But he still refused: "I dare not eat the things in the illusion."

"Eat it, it's just a mental product, not a terrible source of infection." Xu Yao, who was taking a nap in a chair, said suddenly, "Even if it is, didn't you eat it before you recovered your memory? It's unknown whether you can escape. "

It seemed a bit hypocritical to persist any longer, Chu Rui took the cup and drank it down.

"A day in the game is about 40 minutes to an hour in the real world. Our bodies change with the time in the real world. If we don't eat on time, we will starve to death inside before we find a way out."

Xu Yao said it lightly, as if death was as common as everyday life to him.

Chu Rui nestled on the sofa. He gradually felt the loss of strength, and the pain in his throat became more and more obvious. The moment his body gradually sank, he was hugged into a warm embrace.

"A Rui! A Rui!"

He heard someone calling him, but his consciousness was like a huge ball of fire, nothing was left after burning, and being awake became a luxury.

Shang Zhongli touched Chu Rui's forehead, his palms were too hot.He looked up at Xu Yao: "You look at him here, I'll go find antipyretics!"

Xu Yao squinted at him: "It's probably a fever caused by a bacterial infection, go find some ibuprofen or paracetamol tablets for him."

Shang Zhongli was stunned for a moment, and looked gratefully. He gently placed Chu Rui on the sofa and went out to find medicine.

Time passed minute by minute, and in a daze, Chu Rui felt that she was hugged by someone.

"A Rui, take some medicine, come on, open your mouth."

The other party's voice was unbelievably gentle, like coaxing a child. In the hazy memory, there was once a person who gently called me to take medicine, but that tenderness was too short, fleeting, followed by more than 20 years of loneliness .

Chu Rui suddenly felt moisture in the corners of her eyes, and the tip of her nose was sore.

"Why are you crying..." The other party's voice was full of pity and distress, which made his heart tremble even more and ache even more.

Chu Rui vaguely remembered something, the dark fog cleared, and Chu Rui caught a glimpse of the scene in the fog.

The young mother hugged the young child and patted the child's back: "My dear baby, don't cry, don't cry, you will get sick as soon as you take the medicine and run away~"

It should be a warm picture, but in the next second, the mother's head fell off and rolled to the ground.

"Hush! Be quiet."

-

"A Rui, A Rui!" Shang Zhongli hugged Chu Rui at a loss, he just fed a pill and Chu Rui cried, his slightly trembling eyelashes were wet, and the tears flowed more and more, his heart ached , wiping away the tears from the corners of Chu Rui's eyes with his fingertips.

He didn't know what Chu Rui dreamed about, because in the next second, Chu Rui's expression changed from grievance to fear.

"You'd better wake him up quickly, the mist will swallow negative emotions, he has been stuck in a nightmare, but he can't wake up." Xu Yao suggested indifferently.

Shang Zhongli panicked: "A Rui! A Rui wake up, it's a dream!"

Who is speaking?

Chu Rui struggled to open his hazy eyes, his eyes were facing out of the window, the place surrounded by fog was still within the previous range, and they didn't seem to have any intention of invading.

"A Rui, you're awake, just wake up!" Shang Zhongli's relieved voice came from beside his ear.

Chu Rui didn't listen carefully to what Shang Zhongli said. He vaguely remembered that in the last dungeon, when he and Shang Zhongli were about to give up due to unsteady consciousness, the mist diffused in and even entangled their bodies.

It's weird...is there something weird...

Where is the blame?

A faint white spot of light streaked across the sky.

Chu Rui narrowed her eyes, is it... a shooting star...

It seems that this is not the first time he has seen a shooting star, when else has he seen it...

Chu Rui's head is still unclear, and when he thinks, he looks more like falling asleep.

correct!On the night before he and Shang Zhongli entered the illusion, there were shooting stars in the sky...

"..."

and many more!

Chu Rui suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight, startling Shang Zhongli beside her.

"What's wrong?" The medicine took effect, isn't it too fast?

Chu Rui's face was still flushed with a high fever, her eyes were confused, but her consciousness was very clear.His strangeness also attracted Xu Yao who was sitting far away.

etc!He also saw shooting stars when he stayed at Hua Leshen's house, and he also saw them in his own home.

Could it be such a coincidence that meteors are all solitary?Why are meteors on rainy days about the same brightness as meteors on clear nights?Is it really just a coincidence that there were shooting stars just before they entered the illusion?

Is that really a shooting star?

Shang Zhongli saw that Chu Rui stayed there as if he had lost his mind and didn't respond, thinking that he had a high fever and his brain was burnt out: "Ah..." Before he could say anything, he was interrupted.

"Shang Zhongli!" Chu Rui suddenly looked at him.

Shang Zhongli was taken aback: "?"

"Can you go to the sky and see?"

Shang Zhongli: "..."

Shang Zhongli never thought that one day someone would ask him if he could go to heaven.If it was someone else, he would definitely not bother to give him a look, thinking that it was a deliberate embarrassment and a deliberate joke, but if it was Chu Rui, it would be a different matter.

"Let me try."

After receiving Shang Zhongli's answer, Chu Rui heaved a sigh of relief. He wanted to explain, but his tired body couldn't support it.Fortunately, Shang Zhongli didn't ask him.

It was at the most vulnerable time that Chu Rui felt unspeakable feelings.

It seemed that no matter what he said, Shang Zhongli always believed and supported him unconditionally.

Shang Zhongli drew out his long sword: "I need some strength." After speaking, he took a deep breath and turned out of the window.

Chu Rui struggled to stand up and walked to the window. There was no shadow of Shang Zhongli outside. He looked up, and Shang Zhongli was extremely fast. , only a short sword light could be seen.

It didn't take a while for Shang Zhongli to fall from the sky, it is not accurate to say that he fell, it is more accurate to say that the sword slid on the wall when he fell, his body was unstable and swayed everywhere.

Shang Zhongli fell to the ground and didn't have time to stand up, but shouted upstairs: "That's not the sky! It can be touched, it's a barrier!"

Xu Yao, who thought they were messing around and didn't move, opened his eyes at this moment, showing meaningful gazes, and walked to the window.

"Sure enough." Confirming what she thought in her heart, Chu Rui took a deep breath.

"I touched the top within a few strokes. It feels like the texture of silk and satin, and I can still grasp it." Shang Zhongli looked at his palm, as if he was reminiscing about the touch at that time.

"What did you find?" At this moment, Need also had to face up to Chu Rui in front of him, although he looked very haggard.

"The illusion this time is different from the past. Think about it, don't you remember walking through the fog? Our consciousness should be thrown in directly...Have you seen Truman's World?"

Xu Yao: "You mean, the surroundings are an independent space, a pocket, a box, and a container for this piece of consciousness?"

"Yes!" Chu Rui said, what he saw a few times was not a shooting star at all, but a faintly exposed opening of the container.
