"you are me?"
Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile sarcastically, "You don't even dare to show your real body, so you claim to be me?"
"I don't remember that I have split any conscious body or anything like that."
Among Arthur's extraordinary abilities, there is no shortage of means to split one's own consciousness, and psychic ability is the best among them.
Even arcane and divine arts have similar physical methods.
Meeting someone who is exactly the same as yourself one day is not necessarily a strange thing in Arthur's world. For example, the eighth-ring arcana has a spell called "Clone".
It can create an inanimate copy of a creature. Once the other person is killed, the soul will be immediately transferred to the copy. It is an alternative triggered "disguised resurrection technique".
Another example is the "Simulacra" of the Seven Rings. This spell requires a large amount of life energy and hugely valuable rubies. It can create a duplicate illusion of any creature. It is made of ice and snow, showing part of the reality, but it can have half of the original creature. grade.
Therefore, even if Zhao Xu is holding the "Gem of True Knowledge" at this time, he will not be surprised at all if he really encounters a being exactly like himself.
"Your history and development are very interesting, and one of your words, 'Things come out of nowhere, may not be without reason', really touched my heart."
Suddenly, the lichs that were lying on the ground, being pulled like a dog chain, opened and closed their skull-like heads together, making similar sounds.
It's a pity that Zhao Xu has seen this method before in the underground, and the various shocks can no longer suppress him, let alone have any impact on his mood.
However, Zhao Xu thought for a moment and couldn't help but sigh.
Before players travel through time, they have "divine protection" and there is no risk of their consciousness being invaded.
After the time travel, all the people on earth were in a barbaric and dead land, and there were very few people who could cross the border.
So to a large extent, this means that as soon as the talent came into contact, they read the memory of the players below, and even understood it and then learned and applied it.
Naturally, the entire earth's civilization is no secret to such powerful people.
This is also the reason why the earth was suppressed in previous lives.
Because what they know, in a certain dimension, is no secret at all to these powerful people who can manipulate memory and dominate consciousness.
If gunpowder is really useful and nitroglycerin can really be produced and formed into explosives in Arthur, then the Arthur forces on the opposite side can quickly imitate it.
The fundamental weakness of the earth lies in the fact that secrets cannot be defended.
"Since I am you, should you obediently hand over your body and let me control it?"
The voice in the void had some amazing charm power, which directly made Zhao Xu feel from the bottom of his heart that what the other party said was very reasonable, and it would be too much to disobey him.
There is both a magical effect and a non-magical effect of pure skills.
Zhao Xu came to this conclusion instantly.
"give it to me."
"I know you still have a lot of things to do, but don't you feel tired?"
"The integration and rise of the entire earth's forces involves so many people. Do you think you can handle it properly with your personality?"
"Just the thousand people below, don't you find it annoying to have to deal with all their trivial matters every day after you have been together for a long time?"
Slowly, the volume and magnetism of the mysterious voice in the void gradually increased, with a certain penetrating power towards the heart, as if it could pluck the heartstrings.
"But it will be different if you leave it to me. As the former ruler, I can properly handle these matters for you. When the entire empire is properly handled, I will transfer the entire throne to you and let you enjoy the benefits. Okay?"
Instantly, Zhao Xu's surroundings began to glow with strange red spots. Their outer circles were smudged here, pulsing continuously, like a living heart, and like the ferocious eyes of monsters, staring directly at him. .
"Look at them, they have given their bodies to me now. They are all in their own dreams, in the most ideal kingdom of heaven, and they no longer have to face this painful and torturous reality."
"There is no need to wake up every day and worry about the food for the family that day. There is no need to open your eyes and think about how to break out of this cave."
At this time, most of the players below had sweet looks on their faces, as if they were with their first love and wandering around the old campus again.
It was as if they had been hit by the most advanced enchantment and control spell, and none of them were spared. Their entire bodies, from consciousness to body shape, were all controlled.
But when Zhao Xu took a closer look, he found that the smiles of these players were so bright that it even made people doubt whether they had such happy memories in the first half of their lives.
Those sweet memories even make people hesitate, so it would be nice to just sleep like this and spend the dream state unconsciously.
Gradually, this contagion became stronger and stronger, and the voice of talking to himself began to sound in Zhao Xu's mind, as if emanating from his heart.
Just when Zhao Xu's stiff expression became more relaxed, his eyelids were even a little tired, and they dropped slightly to cover them.
Even a minute later, Zhao Xu could be seen flying in the air, snoring slightly.
"Mr. Zhongxia, before you die, can you hand me over to Miss Antinoya first?"
Suddenly, Zhao Xu's magic pet, the star cloak "Meng" behind him, said in a cold voice.
He instantly recovered from the feeling of being about to fall asleep.
Suddenly Zhao Xu's spirit was shaken, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: What kind of trick is this? My Will save is obviously close to level 40.
Without a level of difficulty of fifty or sixty, it would be impossible to have an impact on him.
Zhao Xu even realized that if he withstood the saving throw, he could use magic to resist.
"Mr. Zhongxia, this is beyond my understanding. I am just an ordinary cloak that does not want to become a shroud." The object demon pet Meng continued to say coldly.
"Let me know when you need to cast a spell, otherwise I will continue to be silent." For some reason, Meng, as a magic item, also felt a little tired.
Zhao Xu also smiled inwardly and said: Okay, thank you, Meng.
He also realized that this method, similar to sleep magic, could invade and control his consciousness without a trace, but the consequences were still obvious, that is, he would be "waked up" easily.
Even if he had a "companion" just now, if the other party hadn't been tricked, he would have been able to wake up like this.
After a little thought, Zhao Xu had already grasped a few signs of the other party's connections.
At the same time, he also showed a look full of fighting spirit, looking into the void ahead.
With the support of the burning torches below, as well as daylight, dancing light, light and other spells, the structure around the interior of the cave was clearly visible at this time.
"What's the difference between what you just said and blindly drinking to numb yourself?"
"When I wake up every day, I just want to escape from the facts and not face the difficult past in reality. I just want to use alcohol and sleep to slow down my thoughts so that I won't realize the pain of reality."
"This life built with lies is not what I want!"
Zhao Xu suddenly let out a loud and powerful shout, like a tenor who had just finished practicing his voice. Under the resonance of his chest, this wide cave square suddenly felt like an "explosion".
"War Spell - Daybreak."
A spell that Zhao Xu once used to awaken his companions controlled by the old hag, through his war version, the range of the spell instantly expanded from the original 4 meters to 100 meters, easily covering the players in a radial formation.
This sound was originally like the morning dawn. It was usually used to wake up the sleeping partners around it. It was used to wake up all the people at the same time when being attacked at night, or it was used to break the "sleep spell".
Of course, Zhao Xu used to shake them awake one by one, which would work just as well, but this is the efficiency of the spell.
In an instant, the players below all fell into a frowning state, as if they were suddenly awakened by a splash of urine from a deep sleep. They wanted to endure it and continue to cuddle up in the warm bed without being forced by the cold air outside.
However, the pressure in the lower body forces people to wake up unconsciously and quickly solve the problem.
However, when Zhao Xu saw everyone on the borderline between confusion and clarity, his expression suddenly changed.
"A burst of speed."
Zhao Xu immediately cast such a spell on himself.
Take advantage of time and pick up fragments of future destiny.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xu had an extra moment to move.
At the same time, his star cloak "Dream" also picked the right time and prepared to use "Cure Minor Injuries" on him.
Casting a zero-level spell is also an ability that the item familiars can master after reaching level 10 and awakening their power. With this "treatment of minor injuries", they can awaken the delayed second-level spell "medical knowledge" in Zhao Xu.
Activating "Conjuration (Medical)" can automatically remove the "stun" effect and avoid the subsequent punishment of rapid burst.
The emergency measures that Zhao Xu had prepared after going down to the cave were unexpectedly delayed until this moment.
At this moment, the few seconds that are hard to buy are the precious "thinking time" that Zhao Xu has bought for himself.
Because he has realized it.
After casting the "Break of Dawn", endless fatigue overturned his soul and consciousness.
He was like a statue that had been hit by countless water bombs. Even if there was no damage at all, it was completely soaked.
“Devil’s Device”—Dream Heaven!
Zhao Xu had already realized that what he was falling into was the effect of this devil's device.
But he didn't expect that this demon king's device would be silently controlled by a powerful creature that could control the lich.
As for what
Zhao Xu couldn't help shouting in his heart.
He was only a level 10 mage, but the opponent actually didn't confront him head-on. Instead, he went around in circles and bullied him with the power of the "Devil Device".
She was even afraid that he wouldn't get it, so she deliberately concealed the power of the first "sleep" to make him realize that "waking up" could break other people's sleep state.
As everyone knows, this is the role of "Dream Heaven".
"Sleep Equivalent"!
Whoever terminates other people's dreams must bear the corresponding dream punishment.
Although Zhao Xu's resistance was extremely high at this time, he had to succumb to the influence of the Thousand People's Dream. He would be dragged into the dream in an instant and his consciousness would be suppressed.
This is also the reason why Zhao Xu hurriedly activated the "quick burst".
He needs to be ready for the next step at this moment when his consciousness remains clear.
"Elastic ball!"
But the pace of time will not stop. It takes away the youthful years of the boy, leaving wrinkles on his face, and takes away the youthful youth of the girl, leaving her looking gray in the mirror.
Zhao Xu, who couldn't spare any time, could only do this.
Be steady, throw a big defense first, and then wait for one round.
—
Zhao Xu opened his eyes. It was a room that was both familiar to him and a little strange at the same time.
It's not the suite on the top floor of Yanan, which is engraved with the commander's mark and decorated luxuriously.
But the earth, the room in his house.
Zhao Xu suddenly opened the quilt, sat up, and looked around.
I have been using this desk for more than ten years. I stopped sitting on it every day to write and read when I went to college. The scratches on the tabletop are clearly visible. The soft 1.5-meter soft bed beneath me still exudes the warmth from the recent sun exposure.
Zhao Xu silently held his trouser pocket and felt the familiar shape, so he took it out directly.
His fingertips crossed the screen, and a familiar background emerged. Instantly, a profound moment came into Zhao Xu's eyes—August!
According to the seventh month when God was absent, when August arrives, all people on earth have traveled to Arthur.
Is this a timeline that has not traveled through time
Zhao Xu was a little confused and confused. At the same time, he vaguely felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.
He silently walked out of bed, opened the door, and saw the still-warm breakfast placed on the tabletop of the slate dining table. Barbecued pork buns, fried dough sticks, yogurt, and a note underneath, telling his parents that both of his parents had gone out, so that he could have breakfast by himself, and don't forget his afternoon appointment with a psychiatrist.
Zhao Xu silently picked up the bun and tore open the bottom paper. He was not like his classmates, who had been eating steamed buns for more than ten years. After he got to college, he only realized that the piece of paper was unnecessary after watching other people eating steamed buns.
As soon as you bite into it, the fat and tender meat juices of the barbecued pork spurt out in your mouth. This is a clear and familiar taste.
It made him really suspicious.
He carries a "Hidden Eye", a magical item that blocks detection and detection of thoughts. No one can read his innermost thoughts and memories.
Unless it's God.
There is only God.
Only then can one transcend the boundaries of magic and break through the possible and the impossible.
But all of this was too real, making him feel like it was yesterday.
The next moment, Zhao Xu put on his coat silently, but he felt a little uncomfortable, as if this was not what he usually wore.
Without thinking much, he took the elevator directly to the underground parking level.
According to the memory in his mind, after he came back from traveling in July, his parents gave him a Corolla worth more than 100,000 yuan to drive, thinking that he could go out for a leisurely ride every day.
It is easy to construct a room in a dream, but the amount of calculation required to construct the entire world is not trivial.
So he needs to go out and see this, such a big world.
Zhao Xu unbuckled his seat belt and was suddenly stunned when he was about to start it.
