If the universe has an end, then the end should be infinite silence.
But sometimes, silence is also an answer.
Tang Xinjue knew that ghosts and ghosts mostly cared about eating but not fighting, and they had almost no fear of unfamiliar opponents.
Unless they knew her temper very well, and understood that if she said it, she would really do it.
"According to the rules in this illusion, there is a high probability that you can only control me, and I can't hurt you. So theoretically speaking, as long as you are cautious enough, you should have nothing to fear at all. The most important thing is that you are not willing to act now. There should be only one reason."
[…]
Nothing to be afraid of in theory? How did the previous Li Xiaoyu run away in anger? Did a perverted workaholic suddenly lose sight of the world
I believe you ghost!
Before the secret complaints were over, Tang Xinjue said to himself:
"—When you manipulate me, I will also feel your consciousness, your way of thinking and habits. But you dare not, because you are afraid that I know you too well and understand that as long as you just move your mind, I will I can guess your name."
"I have met so many new friends in the university city, I am afraid that the only one who can win this honor is..."
Tang Xinjue didn't say the last name.
To be precise, the sudden change of the environment did not leave her time to continue speaking. The dark space that had been stabilized suddenly began to churn and surge, and in Guo Guo's astonished expression, it swallowed everything in an instant!
…
"... Xin Jue, Xin Jue, sober up."
When he woke up for the fourth time, he still saw Guo Guo's familiar expression. Seeing Tang Xinjue open his eyes, Guo Guo breathed a sigh of relief, and continued:
"You see who I am, I am Guo Guo."
... I don't know if it's his own illusion, Tang Xinjue felt that compared with the panic and excitement at the beginning, Guo Guo's tone of voice was gradually decreasing, even showing a trace of fatigue, even though it was the same dialogue and plot.
That's right, running the set four times in a row is still such a difficult and immersive job combined with the illusion. Under the pressure of such inhumanity, it is already a very high quality not to be passive and sabotage.
But what interested her more at this time was her calm inner state.
After her identity was almost revealed by her in the last cycle, the opponent would rather run away directly than stay and fight her again.
This also directly caused the crash at the beginning of the third cycle, forcing a jump to the fourth cycle.
She could feel that as the number of cycles increased, the adaptation of her consciousness to the illusion was improving at a steady rate.
The most notable thing is: from the beginning, she could only be in a daze under the control of her mind, but now she can easily separate "self" and "other and me", and even actively explore the existence of that foreign consciousness.
But now, she can be sure that the "old acquaintance" who just took office in the previous cycle has packed up and disappeared. Now occupying her sea of consciousness is yet another friend.
A somewhat special friend.
Tang Xinjue only felt that his heart was extremely peaceful, and he couldn't find the ghost's hostility and killing intent, as if it had been completely returned to him—but in it, there was an indescribable sense of disobedience , always reminding her of the existence of outsiders.
Guo Guo also quickly noticed this change, wiped away tears and carefully approached the formula: "Are you back to normal?"
Tang Xinjue looked at her, frowned slightly and opened her mouth as if to ask something, but the moment her voice came out, it turned into a gentle comfort: "Of course, it was just a little accident just now, and now I'm not affected anymore. Don't worry. How about it, didn't hurt you just now?"
Guo Guo breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. Let's get out of here quickly, Sister You and Wan Qing will come down immediately. In fact, I just secretly sent a distress signal, and I have to explain it clearly to them. OK… "
There was a smile on the corner of Tang Xinjue's mouth: "Okay, let me get the things for you."
Looking down, Guo Guo saw a red bell tied on each tail finger of both hands. It had been hidden in the darkness before, and it has not come into view until now.
What are these two bells for? Tang Xinjue's thoughts moved slightly, but she couldn't make any sound.
The third alien consciousness has gently taken over the control, deliberately letting her see this scene, but not asking, and not letting her hear any answers.
Guo Guo nodded obediently, and took off the bell on her left hand, and the moment she put it in Tang Xinjue's palm, a heavy pressure suddenly fell from her palm, almost making her fall to her knees!
Bearing this weight, Tang Xinjue still tied it to his little finger. But miraculously, the weight evaporated after it was connected to the little finger, as if it had just turned into an ordinary little bell.
"Have you successfully sensed it, Xin Jue?" Guo Guo turned back nervously in front.
Tang Xinjue nodded, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can sense it very clearly."
It is clear that P, except for the thick black fog gathering around her, her senses have no response.
But Tang Xinjue could only think, not speak. That consciousness governed her to walk all the way out, always following behind Guo Guo's buttocks neither far nor close, causing the surrounding darkness to remain undissipated.
Compared with Li Xiaoyu, this ghost obviously has a different style of acting. It seems that there is no intention of attacking, but Xipin can still feel full of malice.
It makes her unable to understand the current information even if she is in the "future".
Not long after, they bumped into Zhang You and Zheng Wanqing who hurried down. Looking at the unscathed Guo Guo and the friendly Tang Xinjue, the two looked at each other suspiciously.
Tang Xinjue, who watched quietly in her body, found that both of them subconsciously stood far away from her. Especially when Zheng Wanqing pulled Guo Guo over, her indifference and wariness towards her were undisguised.
So in this [future], what did she do to cause 606's dorm relationship to break down to this point
"Okay, it's the best situation if nothing happens. Now our top priority is to get back to the dormitory as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the higher the danger outside."
Zhang You made a final decision, Zheng Wanqing restrained her hostility slightly, and Guo Guo naturally nodded again and again.
Tang Xinjue shrugged: "It's up to you to decide, I have no objection."
There is still a bell on her little finger, and it jingles as she walks, which is particularly sharp and piercing in the silent air.
Zheng Wanqing noticed this, and immediately frowned: "Why did you take Guo Guo's bell away!"
Guo Guo quickly explained: "Xinjue took one away because she was afraid that I would not be able to afford it. She must be under a lot of pressure now, so don't be aggressive with her."
Guo Guo was right. It wasn't obvious when I was downstairs in the water room, but as soon as I followed the other three people up the stairs, the sinking feeling of the little finger became heavier and heavier, pulling the whole finger extremely painful.
But Tang Xinjue just heard himself working hard and saying: "It's okay, I can bear it."
- It's strange if you can bear it.
Before reaching the first floor, a heart-piercing pain pierced from the fingertips, and even as soon as it was loosened, the little finger was torn off by the weight of the bell, and fell to the ground with a slap.
As soon as Zheng Wanqing turned her head, she immediately flew into a rage, rushing forward to strike: "I knew you had no good intentions, didn't you intend to ruin our business?!"
Guo Guo blocked: "Don't be angry, it was just an accident, the heart formula definitely wasn't intentional..."
There was still pain in the brain, and the hearing and vision were noisy and chaotic. Tang Xinjue still stood upright, and the two consciousnesses in his body watched this scene silently. The body consciousness was even more calm, like a heartless audience .
[Tsk, what a pity. Is this the kind of friend, roommate, and comrade you really treat? Once you come here, what you end up with is this end, how do you feel? ]
That consciousness finally spoke out, and it was still exactly the same as Tang Xinjue's voice, it sounded like a thought coming from his own heart, asking her whether she was unwilling or not.
"It's really reconciled."
To the surprise of the other party, Tang Xinjue admitted it very frankly.
"If I had known that you guys were so good at living, I would have bought a few catties of dried meat from the food court and brought them in to eat while watching a show."
[… Those things cannot be brought in. ]
"It seems that you also know that the play you rehearsed is terrible, and you still don't allow others to eat snacks to relieve difficulties. Could this be a new course on mental pollution in the university?"
If it wasn't for his body not being mobilized now, Tang Xinjue would really have the urge to yawn.
It is a good idea to rationally use poor information and attack people's spirit from the inside, but if the plot is adapted like this, it is a bit outrageous.
The other party thought for a while, but still firmly believed in his own logic: [Humans only verbally attack others when their emotions fluctuate. If I guessed correctly, you should have broken your defense, right? ]
Tang Xinjue: "... Confidence is an excellent quality, but overconfidence may be a personality defect."
But unfortunately, most of the ghosts seem to have this incurable disease. It can be judged that the capitalists in the university city should not have extended their hands to the psychological industry.
The other party thought for a while, and said seriously: [What you said may make sense, but I am not a human being, so what does it mean to me if my personality is flawed or not? ]
Unknowingly, this team civil war gradually became a dialogue between Tang Xinjue and "self". :
"But if I'm not mistaken, when you rehearsed for them, you should have just shoddy and practiced them, and you haven't strictly controlled the quality of the performance?"
That consciousness froze for a moment: [What do you mean? ]
Just at this time, Zhang You seemed to be unable to bear their quarrel anymore, and he dragged Guo Guo, who had been blocking Zheng Wanqing, out: "If you want to fight, go to the water room, you can't beat anyone like this."
Zheng Wanqing, who suddenly lost her way: "???"
She was rushed up by inertia, but subconsciously slammed on the brakes. After hesitating instinctively for a second, the indignation and hostility reappeared on his face, and he continued to rush towards Tang Xinjue:
"Anyway, the friendship between us is gone, let's end it here!"
Tang Xinjue: "Look, you were forced by others."
It’s okay to die for the truth over and over again, but you still have to say such blunt lines. Doesn’t the university town have labor laws
[…]
The voice suddenly laughed: [Li Xiaoyu is so stupid, you already knew everything, right? ]
After all, it manipulated Tang Xinjue's body to strike violently, but the direction of the attack was not Zheng Wanqing, but Zhang You who was standing at the farthest distance and did nothing the whole time!
