Yu Xingqiao watched the door slowly open, and the feeling in his heart became more and more intense.
I should have a relationship with this Master Star, right? Otherwise, why can't others get in here, but he can choose the right path for the first time
Of course, this may also be because of Xiaoli—after all, he is a member of the Light Clan, and in the records of the Guardians, he is a descendant of the God Clan.
But Yu Xingqiao just had a feeling that the reason why it went so smoothly should be because of himself.
The ancient castle gate is full of age, and the door knocker is rusted. With the force of the shadow tentacles, after opening with a babbling sound, a stale breath blows towards the face.
"Cough cough cough—"
Yu Xingqiao, who was full of anticipation, choked on the dust and couldn't help coughing.
The cough echoed in the silent mountain, causing waves of echoes, as if there were countless people hiding in the mountain and watching you, it seemed a little creepy.
The feeling of eagerness to try faded a lot in an instant, and Yu Xingqiao couldn't help shrinking behind Jun Lu.
Sensing his fear, Jun Lu clenched his hand and released his mental power.
Every corner of the ancient castle was clearly presented in his mind.
The plants in the yard grew in disorder, but they all avoided the main road, leaving a path for one person to pass through. The interior of the castle, except for a thick layer of ash on the furniture, did not look too dilapidated.
Jun Lu swept his mental power across the castle over and over again, and after confirming that there was no danger, he looked at Yu Xingqiao.
"Do you want to go in?" he asked.
Yu Xingqiao glanced at the old castle in front of him, and couldn't help swallowing.
It's not that he's afraid of ghosts or anything, but...
"Will there be a lot of bugs in it?" the boy asked with a little panic.
The previous experience of watching it on TV let him know that there are a lot of bugs in this kind of old house.
The most classic picture is that after opening the door, there will be a spider hanging from the eaves, or a gecko crawling on the wall, and maybe even a centipede...
terrible!
Thinking of that scene, Yu Xingqiao felt goosebumps arose, the rabbit hat on his head, and his ears trembled in surprise.
Junlu couldn't help but pause.
He couldn't help but think of the scene where the boy was chased by big ants and ran around in the sea of flowers in the fairy world.
Inexplicably funny.
"Are you afraid of bugs?" he asked.
This is also an opportunity to improve mutual understanding, and he doesn't want to miss it. Yu Xingqiao didn't let go of his arm, although he was a little embarrassed, he still nodded.
"Well, it's super scary." He said with a pale face.
Seeing his frightened look, Jun Lu didn't find it funny any more. He rubbed the boy's rabbit ears and said, "Don't be afraid, even if there are bugs, I'm still here."
"I'll drive them away so they don't have a chance to hurt you."
Yu Xingqiao looked at his serious appearance, and suddenly felt at ease. He thought, if there were really bugs, he would definitely try to overcome them.
He is an older brother, and he cannot rely on Xiaoli to protect him.
"Okay, let's go in then!"
Yu Xingqiao looked at the castle with a look of death on his face.
He took Jun Lu's hand and walked ahead, stepping into the castle first.
Fortunately, he didn't see any bugs.
The garden is full of lush plants, and in late autumn, it is still full of blue or purple flowers.
it's beautiful.
Yu Xingqiao said with emotion, inexplicably felt that this sea of flowers was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it in a dream.
"There seems to be no bugs."
He said happily and moved on.
However, just as he took a step, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, the garden scene disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was a resplendent palace.
Yu Xingqiao couldn't help being stunned.
He turned around, only to find that the boy behind him had also disappeared, and he was the only one left here.
Um? What's happening here
"Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu!" Yu Xingqiao looked around but saw no one.
He called up Jun Lv's character status and glanced at it. All the values remained normal. He breathed a sigh of relief and managed to maintain his composure.
Xiaoli is still safe and not in danger.
But where has he gone
Shouldn't the distance between them not exceed two meters? Is there a bug
[Warning ~ Player [Looking at the Stars] and Zai Zai entered the illusion]
[Emergency measures have been activated]
The small black font of the system slowly appeared in front of his eyes.
Yu Xingqiao felt relieved, at least he was not alone, and he could still contact the system, and the system activated emergency measures for them!
After waiting for a while, seeing nothing changed, Yu Xingqiao couldn't help asking: "System, what's the situation with us now? Why is Xiaoli missing? Where is this place?"
[You have entered the illusion]
Yu Xingqiao frowned slightly, the alarm had already been said.
"So can you take us out?" he asked.
[cannot]
Yu Xingqiao frowned even tighter, "Then what is the emergency measure you just activated?"
[This is an illusion constructed by the things you fear most in your heart. In principle, you need to overcome this fear before you can come out of the illusion]
Overcoming fear
So is this a test set by that master Sista
Thinking this way, Yu Xingqiao looked up at the resplendent palace.
Is this what he fears the most? He doesn't even know where this is...
Yu Xingqiao felt that something was not quite right.
"But where is this place? I have no memory at all, can you give me some hints?" He asked.
[Because I activated emergency measures]
"What emergency measures?" Yu Xingqiao asked.
[Due to the characteristics of this illusion, this system has replaced the illusion you face]
Yu Xingqiao: "???"
So here is the fear that Ritsu should have faced
"Then am I going to overcome Xiaoli's fear?" Yu Xingqiao hesitated for a moment and asked.
[This is not an illusion created by your fear, so you only need to go through the content of the illusion, theoretically, you can get out of the illusion]
Yu Xingqiao carefully read the system text.
After thinking about it, I quickly understood what it meant.
Because it's not his fear here, theoretically he won't be afraid, so he can easily overcome and break through
"Oh well."
Yu Xingqiao nodded, remembering something, and said, "This time, wait until I go out, and then deduct the money?"
He consciously prepared to give money, however...
[Need not]
After two simple words, the system didn't respond to him anymore.
Yu Xingqiao scratched his hair.
This is the first time the system has been so generous, and he feels a little uncomfortable
Is it not in a good mood
On the bus just now, when I answered him, I still used the Q cute font, but now it has changed into bold font, and he still doesn't charge him, so there is something wrong with it.
Yu Xingqiao was a little worried, but looking at the palace he was in, he suppressed this worry for the time being.
He has to figure out a way to get out first.
If this is Xiaoli's fear...then this place should be the palace of the Clan of Light, right
Yu Xingqiao lightly stepped on the tiles, and took a cautious step forward.
This palace is very spacious and resplendent, but it seems empty, and there is an echo when walking.
Directly in front of him, there is a door.
The door was ajar, revealing a crack, and a faint voice came from inside.
Yu Xingqiao swallowed.
I don't know what Xiaoli fears the most...
Well, it doesn't matter, the system also said, as long as he goes through it, he can leave this illusion.
Yu Xingqiao emboldened himself, then mustered up the courage to walk over there, stretched out his hand and slowly pushed open the tall door.
The door looked heavy and heavy, but he pushed it lightly, and it automatically moved inside.
The inside of the door was covered in white, making it impossible to see the scene clearly.
Just when Yu Xingqiao was hesitating whether to move on—
"Li Ya... Li Ya..."
A painful, crying man's voice came from the door.
Hearing that voice, Yu Xingqiao couldn't help feeling suffocated.
As if blessed to the heart, he suddenly guessed what might be going on inside the door.
Is this what Xiaoli fears the most
Yu Xingqiao clenched his fingertips, hesitated at the door, finally lifted his footsteps, and walked firmly into the door.
As he walked in, the white light began to recede back, and the scene inside the door began to become clear.
In the end, that tragic scene was presented in front of Yu Xingqiao.
I saw a blond man kneeling in the center of the hall under the same magnificent palace, and in his arms lay a woman.
The woman's long light golden hair was hanging powerlessly on the ground. Her face was gray and her eyes were weakly lowered. A dagger was stuck in her heart, and blood flowed all over the floor.
Yu Xingqiao only felt a pain in his heart.
Almost instantly, he knew who the man and woman in front of him were—they were the emperor and queen of the Guangyao Empire, and they were Xiaoli's father and mother...
So, did Xiaoli witness her mother's death with her own eyes
Yu Xingqiao's limbs trembled, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden.
Fortunately, the system replaced the illusion for them.
Fortunately, the person who faced this scene again became him.
It was hard for him to imagine, if the person standing here was Xiaoli, how would he overcome this fear
How can such fear be overcome
Even if Xiaolu really managed to get out of this illusion, his character, which had become a little more cheerful with great difficulty, might have to go backwards again.
Yu Xingqiao sniffed.
Even though he and Xiao Li's parents had masked each other before, seeing such a scene, a strong sadness still enveloped him.
Looking at the dagger stuck in the woman's heart, Yu Xingqiao's tears fell straight down.
this hurts so much...
He stood there for a while, and finally, he slowly approached the most honorable couple in the Guangyao Empire.
He carefully avoided the woman's blood flowing on the ground.
But he couldn't avoid it at all.
Blood was everywhere, and eventually soaked the soles of his shoes.
It made him feel sorry.
Yu Xingqiao squatted down next to the woman. He wanted to pat her hand and comfort her, but felt that this was not appropriate.
At this time, the woman's slightly drooping eyelashes trembled and slowly lifted up. She looked at Yu Xingqiao, and her purple eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance.
Yu Xingqiao couldn't help being startled.
Why are you looking at him like that
After he was stunned for a while, he suddenly realized—maybe, the person she was looking at was not him, but... Xiao Li who rushed over at that time
Looking at the woman's mournful eyes, Yu Xingqiao was a little at a loss, and his heart felt a twinge of pain, like being pricked by a needle.
He had never experienced a mother's love before, but he didn't expect to feel it in such a way at this moment.
Yu Xingqiao took a deep breath and said softly, "Hello..."
