Chapter 196: Burning Rhinoceros at Sea 09 ┃ Love in illusion, disputes outside illusion

"We did discuss whether we need to take the initiative to light the rhino horn," Shao Ling replied to Ke Xun's question, "but out of prudence, we finally decided that unless we realize that the rhino horn is not necessary, we will just wait and see.

"It's just that we did make arrangements in advance about who would ignite the rhino horn. The candidate was decided by lottery. Li Yi was selected by lottery, and he is the first-order rhino burner. If he has an accident, there are other The person in the second order took over, and the second was Yu Long.

"I think the reason why Li Yi lit the rhino horn last night was probably because the endless darkness made him fear, or because it was too dark to see things, he thought that igniting the rhino horn could solve this problem.

"As for where the ignited rhino horn is, I have searched nearby with Mr. Mu just now. Not only did we not find the wreckage, but there was no burnt ashes. It is speculated that the rhino horn had fallen into the sea with Li Yi. ."

"So this burning rhinoceros monster is useless at all, right!" Yu Long suddenly said loudly, "It will still die after lighting it up, and it will still be a bullshit monster! It is used to attract monsters, whoever lights up will attract monsters, Whoever leads the blame will die!"

"If whoever ignites the rhino horn will die, then there is no need to create hallucinations for us and lure us into the sea." Zhu Haowen said expressionlessly.

"Then what is the purpose of this rhino horn?" Liu Yanlei stared at him and asked.

"Maybe it's for taking pictures of monsters," Ke Xun stared at him with half-drooping eyelids. "Maybe only Li Yi who ignited the rhino horns can see the real body of the 'weird' that has created hallucinations for us."

"So whoever ignites the rhino horn will die, right?!" Yu Long said sharply.

Ke Xun raised his eyebrows: "Then why can't someone ignite the rhinoceros horn, who can take advantage of the opportunity to see the monster's body and kill the monster?"

Yu Long was choked for a moment, and wanted to open his mouth to refute, but was stopped by his girlfriend Fang Fei, who put his hand on his shoulder.

"Brother, you are mighty and domineering." Luo Meng gave Ke Xunbi a thumbs up tremblingly.

"I think what Mr. Ke said has some truth." Shao Ling was always rational, "The person who ignites the rhinoceros is likely to be able to see the strange body, and the Wen Qiao in Niu Zhu's burning rhino is also able to see what others can't see by burning the rhinoceros. To the water monster.

"But it doesn't mean that whoever burns the rhinoceros will die. Maybe Li Yi can see the strange body, but he is still bewitched by the illusion and loses his life.

"The issue of burning rhinoceros, we will talk about it later. Now please tell us about your experience last night, maybe we can summarize more characteristics and clues of the illusion."

The faces of the newcomers who followed Shao Ling last night were different, and they lowered their eyelids and said nothing, but Luo Xun, who was sitting next to Ke Xun, raised his trembling hand: "Then I said... The illusion last night pretended to be My girl's voice lied to me, 'she' said she was hit by a car while crossing the road, and she came to me out of body for some reason.

"How can I believe it at first, I said this is in a painting, how can you come in? How do you know I'm here? She said that she couldn't bear me, maybe because this obsession was too deep, so the soul came over by herself.

"I firmly believed that it must be all the ghosts trying to deceive me, but I couldn't help saying that 'she' was too real, she was a lotus flower, so I said it slowly and hesitated. .

"But I'm not stupid, am I? I asked a lot of things that only the two of us know, but I didn't expect that she would answer all of them correctly, I... I really gave the letter.

"She cried as she talked, said she couldn't bear me, said she didn't want to die, said she loved me very much, but she couldn't help it, she felt like she was going to disappear soon, and wanted to kiss me again before she left.

"She said she knew I was timid, and she didn't dare to come over, and said that if I wasn't afraid of her, I would just walk over and kiss her, and she would try to wait for me to come over.

"I, I'm really timid, but I thought to myself that this is my girlfriend. I've never seen what she looks like. She was running wild and I even went into the bathroom and handed her the paper. She, she Why did it die... I was stunned at the time, all the pictures flashed in my mind when we were together.

"Then the question arises—

"You know, she and I both love raising small animals. We live together with birds, fish, turtles, hamsters, four or five cats, and seven or eight dogs. She likes to stay at home to take care of them. They, and I often go out for more than ten days or even two or three months because I have something to do. During this period, these animals we raise often die due to injuries, accidents or old age, and every time I call back When I chatted with her, I asked about the animals, and she never told me that they were dead.

"Because she knew I couldn't take it, and I never liked hearing about death, whether it was human or animal, even the sparrow that often fell on my windowsill.

"I may be useless, unlikable, and charismatic, but I will be depressed for a long time because of the death of familiar people or animals.

"My girlfriend knows this about me, so if a small animal dies at home, she never tells me on the phone, although I'll find out when I get home.

"She wants me to be less sad every day, and she doesn't want her voice announcing death that pops into my head whenever I think about people or animals that are no longer alive.

"—So at the time, I felt a little... a little inconsistent. I felt that if she really had a soul, and her soul could really find me with her obsession, she would at most just look at me in the dark. At the last glance, she wouldn't come out on her own and tell me she was dead, she'd rather let me know the news later.

"I suddenly remembered that we used to talk about those tragic romance dramas where the heroine had a terminal illness. My girlfriend said that if she had a terminal illness, she would never tell me, and she would not be like some People pretend like they don't love me anymore or break up with me, so I don't feel so sad.

"She said that she would hurry up to the last time of her life, work harder to be nice to me, and when she was about to die, she would go to another place to die quietly. Even if I finally knew she was dead, I would still be depressed. Sad, but at least when I think back to the last time I was with her, all I can remember is happiness...

"Cough, I won't say these nasty words, I mean, I don't think she will come to inform me of her death, and she will not cry so sadly like this, let me suffer with her, leave me a Worrying last memory.

"So I hesitated, I didn't dare to go over, and then she kept crying, kept saying how much she loved me, kept wanting me to go over, I knew that 'she' must be fake, the more I listened to her voice The more strange it felt, the more frightened my soul was, I urinated on the spot..."

"Stop peeing, don't talk about it, isn't it glorious?" Ke Xun looked at him speechlessly, but he felt that this kid is not that bad... Sand sculpture, when I saw him paralyzed on the ground this morning, Seeing his tears, he thought it was because he was scared to cry. Now that he thinks about it, Ke Xun thinks that his tears may have been for his girlfriend.

"In this way, the routines used by illusions to deceive us are roughly the same," Shao Ling said. "It seems that they are all using people close to us to deceive our trust and lead us into the trap of death. , have any important clues been found, or other features of the vision?"

Everyone recalled and thought for a while, and after a long while, Mu Yiran said: "The power behind the manipulation of the illusion can read our memory, and use the memory to simulate and shape the personality and behavior of the objects we are close to.

"For example, in what kind of situation, what tone and way the subject will speak, and the judgment and handling of the problem are also very in line with the person's design.

"But the image it simulates is only based on the 'past' memory in our minds, that is, it can grasp our past, but it cannot control our 'present continuous'.

"Once we ask a new question, it can only be solved and dealt with by relying on 'past' experience. Keren's thinking is always constantly refreshed and changed as time moves, which is why we are proposing new After the question is answered, it often reveals flaws, because the answer in our hearts is generated through judgment and analysis after it has been answered.

"Therefore, we may have a way to deal with this illusion, which is..."

"Ask it the latest question and find flaws in its answer!" Yu Long's quick answer interrupted Mu Yi's next words.

"I think this method is useless," Liu Yanlei said, "Is that behind-the-scenes power so stupid? This trick has been used last night. If it is used again tonight, everyone will know that it is fake. , is an illusion, who would believe it!"

As he said that, he glanced at Mu Yiran with some contempt.

"Then you probably don't know," Ke Xun looked at Liu Yanlei, "in the illusion I experienced last night, it was his voice that was used to confuse me. How can you be sure that tonight's illusion will not take advantage of the people around you? People come to deceive you? For example, your girlfriend, if she calls you to save her in the dark, do you believe it or not? Save it or not?”

"The illusion has separated us all. If Xin Ai's voice sounds in the dark, it must be fake!" Liu Yanlei retorted.

"Brother Qin told you about all the paintings we've been in," Ke Xun looked Liu Yanlei in the eye, "don't you know that the conditions of death in the paintings are not always the same? Some paintings have the conditions of death that It will continue to escalate, can you guarantee that you will be alone in isolation tonight?"

Liu Yanlei was repeatedly refuted by Ke Xun, and his aura involuntarily dropped a bit. After reacting, he became a little embarrassed and became angry, and sneered: "As far as I know, those who drown are all those who know water, and experience is not a panacea. Those who have been defeated by scheming are people who have done wrong and wrong, and I don't think the experience you provide as a perverted gay can help us!"

After saying this, the room suddenly fell into an awkward silence.
