Si Ming is right, Si Ruo has hinted to me twice that we are in an illusion.
Once at the entrance of the cauldron array, she told me that no matter what happened to her, I should not believe it because she was Si Ruo of the Demon Sect. The second time was in the cave. She reminded me that we saw different things.
However, these two times I didn't think about it in the fantasy world.
I knew what Si Ruo was hinting at me, but what I didn't expect was that we fell into an illusion from the beginning and have been struggling in an illusory world.
It wasn't until the last moment that I realized that Si Ruo's reaction was wrong. If that was Si Ruo, she would never choose to stand there and leave me in a dilemma.
My dad would not ask for a sacrifice from Nasiro. The two of them would work together to find a way to lead me out of the encirclement. Even if we were all killed in a sea of fire, they would not wait on the ship for me to face a bloody fact.
Even at that time, I only suspected that Siming was pretending to be my father, and I did not suspect that I was in an illusion.
After I killed the phantom, I was almost scared out of my mind, because at that moment, I suspected that I had made a mistake in judgment. But I quickly realized that if the person standing in front of me was really Si Ruo, she would not allow me to draw the knife.
Such is Si Ruo's character.
Siming snorted coldly at this moment: "The disciples nowadays are really inferior to each other. This is true for the Demon Sect, and even worse for the Divine Sect."
Si Ming turned to look at Si Ruo and said, "Now, have you seen it? I said this guy is not trustworthy, you should believe it now."
Si Ruo rolled her eyes at her father and did not answer his next words.
I slowly said: "Senior Si..."
"The Demon Sect has nothing to do with you, so don't call me 'Senior'." Siming said with a gloomy face, "You can call me 'Demon Lord', or 'Your Excellency'."
I glanced at Si Ruo and then said helplessly, "Excuse me, your Excellency, why did you put us into the inner demon dreamland? It couldn't be just to test the disciples, right?"
I am absolutely sure now that the inner demon dream created by Si Ming is aimed at me.
From the moment I walked out of the hotel to look for clues, he tried every means to influence my thinking, almost step by step. Whenever I was alert, he would throw out a mystery that I had to pay attention to, disrupting all my thoughts. judge.
For the first time, he made a fake Si Ruo. All my attention was drawn to Si Ruo, and naturally I couldn't pay attention to the flaws in Ruan Dalong and Tao Xiaoyao.
The second time, Siming used the Faceless Girl to create the "Secret Technique of Ghost Eyes", which again made me miss Xu You's plan. If I had been in the forest at that time, Xu You might not have been able to deceive me.
The third time was before the place where corpses were accumulated. That time, I had a chance to expose Xu You's disguise as Li Qingyang, but Xue Yulu suddenly came and caught me off guard, and I was forced into the corpse dump.
That time, Xu You revealed his identity and once again attracted my attention. I had been on guard against Xu You and had no time to carefully examine the doubts about Xue Yulu. To take a step back, what if I discover something suspicious about Xue Yulu? At that time, I didn’t have the capital to fall out with them.
The fourth time, I had already made plans to sneak into the tripod formation to escape, and even took Si Ruo with me. This time, Si Ming did an even better job. He simply made Si Ruo disappear, and also threw out Diao Chan, a young girl who was "difficult to distinguish between friend and foe" like my father.
Especially Diao Chan's request for me and Si Ruo to have a bridal chamber, which immediately blinded me. At that time, I only had one thought in my mind, which was to get out of here quickly and avoid harming Si Ruo.
The fifth time was the real flaw of Si Ming. He shouldn't have created my dad's phantom, which was tantamount to overturning his original arrangement...
wrong! Si Ming did it on purpose. He deliberately sold me a flaw.
Otherwise, with Si Ming's previous layout, it would be impossible for such a low-level mistake to occur.
The reason why I asked Si Ming what his purpose was was because I felt that as the master of the demon sect, Si Ming would not be so bored that he would make a special trip to play a joke on me.
Siming looked at Si Ruodao: "Is this Wang Huan, who you say is so smart? Why do I think he is so stupid?"
Seeing that his daughter didn't speak, Siming simply looked at me with a gloomy face and said, "The Dan Island you see is a real existence. However, we only occupy the first three floors north of Dan Island, which is what you see. The Qi army city we arrived at."
Siming paused slightly and said: "The two major sects of Shenmen Puyun and Lixiao have also arrived at Dan Island. They occupy the south of Dan Island. We have agreed to explore the Nine Heavens of Dan Island for the third time. However, this time This time we can only dispatch low-level disciples."
Siming said coldly: "Although what the Demon Sect has learned is a hundred times better than that of the Divine Sect, the several rising stars of the Demon Sect are all dragged into other restricted areas and are not allowed to escape. This time we are exploring Dan Island, we can only be led by Si Ruo."
I couldn't help but said: "You mean, let me join the Demon Sect and assist Si Ruo?"
"No." Siming shook his head and said, "I want you to start from the Shenmen and secretly help Si Ruo."
I said in a deep voice: "You want me to be the secret agent in Tan Shen's hands?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Si Ruo stood up and said, "I don't need Wang Huan's help. I am enough to fight against Shenmen on my own."
Siming ignored Si Ruo's reaction: "Wang Huan, the choice is yours whether to go or not. However, I can tell you that not all the things you saw in the dream were illusions, some of them were real. exist."
With my heart shaking, I raised my eyes and looked at Siming. Which part of what happened on Dan Island is true? Is it about my dad
Siming didn't give me a chance to ask questions. He stood up and said, "You have three days to think about it. After three days, you can come to me and I will stay in this hotel."
"Dad..." Just as Si Ruo was about to speak, Si Ming grabbed his wrist and forcibly took him out of the room.
I sat alone in my room, unable to make up my mind.
If there is no mission in which the Detective is involved, I don't mind helping Si Ruo. Once the Detective is involved, it's a different matter.
By hiding in the detective's hand and secretly helping Si Ruo, I became the secret agent of the Demon Sect. People in the Demon Sect only seek their goals and don’t care about morality. Even if I successfully obtain the secret of Dan Island, the Demon Sect will still catch me and ask me to serve the Demon Sect again and again. The final outcome will be either me. I will completely betray the Detective Hand and join the Demon Sect; or I will die under the methods of the Detective Hand.
But what are the consequences of not participating? Si Ruo may not be the opponent of the elite disciples of the Detective Hand, and I can't find the truth I want - there is only one truth I want, and that is where my father is.
I finally understood why Si Ming arranged the meeting between my dad and Si Ruo at the end of the fantasy.
This is a choice with different scenarios and the same difficulty.
It's just that one end of the scale is Si Ruo and my father, and the other end is Ye Xun and Tanshenshou.
To me, the Detective is probably just a little more important than an "indifferent title". I didn't join the Detective because of any ideals or ambitions, but just to survive.
But Ye Xun was different. I could feel that he seemed to have a special affection for the Detective Hand. Even when we reached the point where no one could take us in, he never thought of leaving the Detective Hand.
When I enter the Demon Sect, I am afraid that the first person to leave me is Ye Xun, and we will even meet with each other in the arena. That's not the result I want.
For some things, the more you make a choice, the more painful it becomes, and the more you hesitate, the more helpless you feel. It’s like you’ve entered a dead end and you can’t get out, and you also think of things you shouldn’t have thought about.
I was like this at that time. I didn't know how long I sat before I stood up and walked out of the room aimlessly. When I walked to the hotel garden, I heard Si Ruo suppressing his anger: "Why are you forcing Wang Huan? I can handle this task by myself!"
Si Ruo, Si Ming...
My first reaction was to hide in a corner of the garden and look at the father and daughter quarreling in the pavilion from a distance.
Siming said in a deep voice: "No, if the Four Detectives show fails this time, you may still have hope to win. But the Four Detectives have already dispatched two people, and the hidden clues we buried in the Detectives have also been revealed. People are completely uprooted and you have no chance of winning.”
"I let Wang Huan be the secret agent. I don't ask you to win, but I ask you to survive." Siming's voice was extremely low, "In the past, I really hoped that you could control the Demon Sect alone; now, I only hope that you can Peace. Do you know what I mean?”
"Dad..." Si Ruo whispered, "You don't believe in my ability?"
"No..." Siming said, "According to your age, you are indeed outstanding, and you can even keep pace with the four little kings of Wugui Sect. However, compared to the Four Shows and One King of Tanshen, and the Seven Stars and Five Demons of the Demon Sect, you are still worse. Too far."
Siming said in a deep voice: "This time, the Demon Sect's seven stars are not coming out. It is not as simple as it seems. Do they think we don't dare to kill people?"
I heard a message from Siming's words, that is, there is another problem within the Demon Sect. The fact that several rising stars in the Demon Sect dared to defy the commander's orders showed that there was support behind them.
Si Ruo whispered: "I understand what you mean, but... But there's no need for Wang Huan to join, right? Aren't there a few reliable young disciples in the Blood Guard?"
Siming's voice was filled with anger: "When I do this, of course I have my own considerations. You don't need to say anything, just follow my arrangements."
Before Si Ruo could say anything, Si Ming said first, "You came to me because you wanted to find out the secret in the dream and tell it to Wang Huan, right?"
Si Ruo nodded slightly: "You are in a dream..."
Si Ming forcibly interrupted Si Ruo: "You are also one of the bystanders in the dream. Didn't this dream make you think of something?"
While Si Ruo shook his head, Siming said sharply: "You have thought of it, but you just don't want to admit it."
