107 The Flower and Bird Market Rules and Strange Talk (6) Believe it or not...

Tieu Lanh trembled as his finger rested on the trigger and he took a deep breath.

He actually realized that these were all fake. The dead cannot be brought back to life. In the past 20 years, even in his dreams, as long as they appeared, he knew very clearly that this was fake.

But now, he remembered even more clearly, this is the Rule Realm.

He was disturbing his mind, using endless reincarnations to defeat his psychological defenses. Now that the final moment had come, he stopped scratching his itch, letting everything around him freeze. Only his parents' advice echoed in his ears like a mantra, very gently encouraging him to pull the trigger.

But the main reason is because it's fake, he's wavering...

In the real world, his parents had already left forever. But in this place...

17 Based on the clues currently held, the strange world is probably also a complete world. And "he" here has an extraordinary ability, the ability to create a world.

If this kind of conjecture was true, then the meaning of the "Parents" in front of him probably didn't lie to him. As long as he forced them to pull the trigger and kill the "himself" they had once been, they would be able to survive in this world, and he would also be able to stay here and spend a normal, bland life with them.

20 years ago, this was something he never dared to imagine.

"Quick, son, papa and mama are missing you." Mother's voice grew even gentler. In the depths of his memory, she had always used such words to coax him to sleep.

He really missed that moment.

If he gave up this opportunity, he would probably be able to spend the rest of his life immersed in endless memories, memories of those 6 years of his life.

.

Outside the rain was still falling, the tree trunk was empty, Diep Tich felt the poison spreading rapidly, she tried to resist and stay awake, but her mind was still getting more and more unconscious.

Just a second before falling into a coma, Ye Xi felt viciousness in his heart. He quickly grabbed the dagger and stabbed it into his own thigh!

"Oh ——" The intense pain made her cry, but also brought her back to her senses.

Diep Tich kept panting, while grasping this moment of clarity, banging gongs and drums to wonder about the current situation.

She was sure that this snake was the cobra she had just thrown out.

She was also certain that the cobra was injured by her stab, and the dagger had cut a short section of its neck before sticking to its neck, scraping off a handful of scales.

She was the one who saw this scale fall to the ground.

But now, this snake on the body is completely intact.

What does this explain?

This explanation... This is an illusion?

This is of course an illusion.

She was startled when she remembered that she was in the Rule Realm. But to her, the "Rule Realm" itself was an illusion, but every time she entered the Rule Realm, people would clearly die. The dangers of those illusions were real and could kill people.

So she realized this point was useless, even if this poisonous snake was fake, it could still kill her.

But, is there anything wrong...

Is there anything wrong?

The toxin that caused the coma rose again. Diep Tich bit his lips lightly, luckily the knife fell, once again aimed at himself.

Two consecutive slashes, she already smelled the scent of blood.

What was even more frightening was that she heard wolves howling.

This is in the wilderness, the scent of blood will attract wild beasts, this is very reasonable.

... No no no, the reasonable place is not important. She should research, it is the little "unreasonable" thing she just caught.

What is not reasonable?

That's right, it's a scale restoration for no reason...

If this is the Rule Realm, then anything that happens should be normal. But this point, is also not normal.

She had gone through too many dungeons, seen scenes extremely close to reality, and also seen creepy supernatural creatures. But no matter what kind, there would never be an obvious "bug".

"He" seems to be very delicate, all kinds of designs will be perfect, never so obvious exposed.

So, this "exposure" was probably intentionally left for her by "him".

What does he want to do?

Diep Tich was in a daze, leaning against the tree hole above, suddenly a strange sound came from it.

"Bang —— ca!" Diep Tich raised her head in surprise, a long grey hairy claw was grabbing at the cave entrance, she had just used all her strength but still couldn't open the cave entrance, under its claw it felt like thin wooden pieces were peeling off.

Another two shots, the outside object seemed to want to confirm whether there really was prey inside, a pair of blood red eyes came to the cave entrance, looking around.

——looking at it for a moment, Ye Xi shivered. Because she discovered that it was not a wolf, but a walking werewolf.

Diep Tich's whole body immediately went numb!

Not counting poisonous ants and snakes, werewolves were the things she feared the most. Because when she was very young, she had seen a horror movie - actually, after she grew up and thought about it, it probably wasn't terrifying, at most it just had a bit of a creepy element, but she was too young at that time, and it had left a deep psychological shadow.

The movie's villainous boss is a werewolf, with a pair of blood-red eyes, the eyeballs protruding, disharmoniously embedded on his face.

It first appeared, the main character trembled as he looked out through the peephole, wanting to see what was outside.

Suddenly, that pair of blood red eyes appeared outside the cat's eyes, coming face to face with the main character.

Just like that appeared in the tree hole there just now.

"Brother, brother!" The tree hole under the werewolf's attack instantly opened two or three times, the hungry werewolf could no longer hold back and rushed forward with its front legs and upper body, intending to directly drag Ye Xi out.

"A aaaa!!!" Diep Tich, who was already unable to stand up, waved his dagger in disarray, dodging the sharp claws while trying to calm himself down.

She thought of it... She seemed to have thought of the answer! The answer was right before her eyes, but because of the poison, her mind was a bit confused.

Weird talk rules...

She stubbornly analyzed these four words, feeling that her thoughts were like an iron chain, now just one step away from being perfectly connected.

.

For a long time, Tieu Lanh stood still, looking at everything before his eyes.

A few meters away was once "him", behind him was his thoughts of his parents.

Now, as long as he pulled the trigger, everything would end. If what his "parents" said was true, he could continue living here forever, even if he had to lie to himself, he would still be very happy.

If they tricked him, he would surely die here immediately.

But if that's the case, the endless pain of sleep paralysis will still continue until the end.

He really, really wanted this all to end.

Xiao Leng's breathing was labored, his finger on the trigger slightly tense. The remaining reason deep in his heart surged, defending his last line of defense.

Ye Xi resisted the werewolf's orders and temporarily gave up on directly dragging her away. Instead, he continued to attack the tree hole. The bark on one side was quickly destroyed. The heavy rain was blown in by the wind, causing Ye Xi to squint her eyes.

She gasped, her eyes coldly staring at the werewolf, racking her brain wondering... The rules of the strange talk.

Tieu Lang raised his spear and took a deep breath of the cool autumn air.

The next second, his hand fell down, dropping the spear.

"Little cold?!" His parents looked at him in surprise.

Having been stripped of the next half of the tree trunk, Diep Tich suddenly understood that rule!

"If in this area you encounter a problem that confuses you, please remember, the answer is probably right before your eyes."

"Roar ——" the werewolf snapped up a piece of tree bark, roared towards her face, and then pounced!

Diep Tich closed his eyes and felt the strong wind approaching from the werewolf. When he was only inches away from either side, he suddenly turned around and defended himself.

"Dad, Mom." Tieu Lanh turned his head, his voice hoarse.

In his memory, his parents looked at him without a word.

"When I was young, you were always away from home. I was angry. You always explained that you were there to protect people. You said that if you didn't complete the mission, many people would die. You also said that when I grew up, I would understand."

He laughed bitterly: "I remember at that time I was really unconvinced, I yelled at you guys, saying even if I grew up I still wouldn't understand."

"But now, I understand." He took a step forward, helping his mother brush her messy bangs behind her ears: "I am a policeman. If I don't complete my mission, many people will die."

"So..." His voice was a little choked.

At the same time, Ye Xi joined forces to turn around and counterattack the werewolf. The werewolf raised its head and wanted to bite Ye Xi's face, but Ye Xi roared angrily at it: "I know this is an illusion!"

"I know this is an illusion." Tieu Lanh calmly said these words.

"'He' thinks that by capturing my weakness, he can make me die here!" Diep Tich was hysterical, "He's dreaming!"

"I cannot stay here." Tieu Lang said, "I need to leave and complete my mission."

Diep Tich used the two roars to gain some confidence, boldly raised his fist, and directly punched the two people: "You, and those spiders and poisonous snakes! Get out of my sight right now! I'm not afraid of you!!!"

Tieu Lanh pursed his lips: "I'm sorry, let's end it."

The next second, Diep Tich only felt that her sight was gone. Originally, she was working together to push the werewolf away, but she didn't have time to stop her strength and suddenly fell towards him.

Tieu Lanh intuitively felt someone bump into his back, instinctively turned around, and reached out to support her arm.

Diep Tich was so shocked that he thought that the werewolf had returned. He almost raised his fist again. He raised his head to look at his face and suddenly let out a sigh.

This breath made her feel like all her strength was drained, her legs went weak, she simply sat on the ground without caring, then started to use her hands to touch her shoulders, to confirm that she was not injured.

... Who knows how far the injury caused by the illusion can be brought?

Diep Tich pinched both shoulders once, found that there was nothing wrong, and suddenly felt emotional: He is quite kind...

happy my ass

She was very strong, possessed by a demon, she used her hand to caress the gravel road below her body, took deep breaths, felt the normal humidity of the air, even reached out to touch the shoes of a few of her companions beside her, using these details to tell herself, she was indeed safe.

Tieu Lanh looked at her using her finger to poke his shoe face, his eyebrows jumped down, he thought she had something to say to him, but then saw her raise her hand to poke Du Oanh's shoe next to him.

... It's like just an instinctive movement.

>

r />

He resentfully withdrew his self-indulgence, until she paused, raised her head and asked him: "You have also entered the illusion, right? What did you see?"

Tieu Lanh was silent for a moment, then asked again: "What did you see?"

"En... Spiders, poisonous snakes, damp and narrow spaces, and werewolves..." Ye Xi started to tremble as he spoke, hugging himself with both hands, "These are the things I fear the most. I used to dream often that I was lost in that kind of primitive forest, and then I saw these things..."

"It was truly terrifying." Xiao Leng nodded, seeing her searching gaze once again, he couldn't help but look away, then smiled and answered her question, "My illusion… was me alone in a city. I seemed to be very hungry, going into every restaurant, supermarket, bakery, but the entire world's sweets had disappeared, I couldn't even find a single block of sugar."

"...?" Diep Tich raised her head and looked at him, her eyes saying: Are you lying to me?!

Tieu Lang looked back with a sincere expression: "Isn't this terrifying?"

Diep Tich: "..."

It was too much, but when put on him, it seemed especially reasonable.

Diep Tich looked at his teammates who were still in "Off status": "Tell them..."

Before he finished speaking, a very small bang came from his ear. Ye Xi turned his head and saw Wu Fan suddenly explode... There was no terrifying scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, only his entire body instantly turned into golden powder, scattering with the wind.

"?!" Diep Tich suddenly stood up, continuously retreating, "He is..."

Then she reacted to herself —— Wu Fan must have died in the illusion.

Up until now, 17 people have been on missions everywhere, because they are in the strange pond to protect the big guys and increase their survival rate. But just now in the illusion, they were all alone, and based on their own strength, no one could help anyone.

Will not destroy...

The sudden flash of thought made Ye Xi shiver. She desperately shook her head, telling herself no, and at the same time, rationally telling herself that, objectively speaking, the difficulty of that illusion was not that high.

The rule says, "The answer is probably right before your eyes." Simply put, as long as you discover and believe that it is an illusion, you have cleared the pass.

Moreover, going through this matter is actually not that difficult. As long as you remember where you were before and observe some loopholes, the problem can be easily solved.

To put it bluntly, this challenge has a bit of the meaning of "If you believe it, you will, if you don't believe it, you won't".

She was just like that just now.

If there were no poison to interfere, her reaction would have been even faster.

The real difficulty lies in facing the fear deep in the heart will make the brain lose its ability.

Just now, her eyes widened as soon as she saw the environment bar, and she immediately collapsed. What dungeon, what rules, she didn't have time to care about anything. In that moment, the fear that reached its peak made her only think of solving the problem at hand - first, she hurriedly tried to get out from the tree hole, then struggled with the poisonous spider.

Waiting for this to end, immersed in the fear deep inside her, she was almost scared crazy, her instinctive protection mechanism made her shrink into a simple corner and face all of this, not to mention thinking about some strange rules, when someone came to ask her what her name was, she would probably have to react for a few seconds before she could answer.

On the other hand, the participants... Also don't know what state it will be.

But worrying about this and that is obviously useless now, it can't help, it can't help.

Very quickly, Diep Tich discovered that this challenge to the "tolerance" assumption was that it seemed to have no time limit.

The distance between her and Tieu Lanh had already passed by more than ten minutes. Among her teammates, except for Ngo Pham who had disappeared into thin air and confirmed his death, the others were still in that kind of "shutdown" state.

Diep Tich went to look at them, the flower spirit told her that they were still in the challenge, and that if they won the challenge, they could meet them.

In other words, although this illusion is extremely unfriendly, as long as you don't let yourself die inside, there will always be hope of leaving.

However... Dying inside is not that difficult. For example, if she had reacted a little slower, she would have been shot by the poisonous snake.

Waited for about five minutes, turned off the status Yu Ying's body suddenly went limp, she shouted to lie down and sit down.

At that time, Diep Tich and Tieu Lanh were sitting on a big rock by the roadside, doing nothing. Diep Tich saw this and immediately went over to support her, asking: "What did you see?"

Before she finished speaking, she drew closer and saw Yu Ying's pale face.

Yu Ying's voice trembled: "Fire, fire..." She raised her eyes, "When I was young, I experienced a fire. At that time... I was the only one at home. There was fire everywhere... Less than two minutes after I was rescued, the gas tank downstairs exploded..."

Diep Tich took a deep breath, felt her trembling, and hugged her: "Go away, just now was all fake."

Yu Ying clenched her teeth, nodded vigorously, and closed her eyes fiercely, trying to push those terrifying images away.

Another half hour passed, Deng Lanlan, Gongzi, and Zhou Ziyang left the illusion one after another, leaving only Wang Li, who was like a stone statue, standing there motionless for a long time.

There are still so many teammates, if he keeps waiting for him alone, it won't be this kind of thing - not to mention anything else, if by nightfall, Xiao Leng wakes up from not making the pot of night-blooming incense, it will be troublesome.

Just as Ye Xi was hesitating whether or not to use Mr. Mao Zi's pendant to ask the flower spirit to directly release Wang Li, Wang Li let out an "Ouch, I'm going" sound and sat down on the ground.

Everyone was so worried that they immediately looked at him in high spirits, but he just sat on the ground panting, not having time to worry about anything.

Dang Lam Lam was curious: "What is your illusion?"

"Damn, the college entrance exam!" Wang Li had an angry expression, "That year's exam hall, that year's position, I went in one by one, after finishing the literature test, I took the math test, after finishing the math test, I took the English test… I finally took it all once, when I go back to the exam hall, I have to take the literature test again!"

"..." Everyone's eyes revealed pity.

For many people, the college entrance exam is a lifelong PTSD, some people will still have nightmares about the college entrance exam twenty or thirty years after graduation. Putting yourself in this situation, suddenly imagine like far away from the horror of the tropical rainforest, but the psychological pressure is absolutely overwhelming.

"So what loophole did you find?" Dang Lam Lam was curious.

"My cousin is taking the college entrance exam this year. I suddenly remembered that he seemed to have passed the exam… Now the college entrance exam has changed from literature and physics to 3+3!" After Wang Li finished explaining, he still sighed in fear, "So dangerous, I almost died on the exam."

Everybody: "..."

Tieu Lang looked at the time and said to Vuong Loi: "Rest for ten minutes, then we will continue moving forward."

"No need, no need!" Wang Li hurriedly got up, dusted off his pants, "I don't need to rest! Let's go now, quickly leave this hellish place! I'm really afraid of the flower spirit..." He suddenly choked up, cautiously looked around, confirmed that the flower spirit had left before continuing, "I'm really afraid that the flower spirit will go crazy and drag me into the illusion again! This old man will never want to take the college entrance exam again in this life!"

"Ha ha ha ha!" The tycoon laughed unkindly, the atmosphere lightened a bit.

Dang Lam Lam looked around: "...Where to go?"

Fresh flower area rule number 1: Because this area's roads are narrow, to ensure customers' experience, please strictly follow the arrows' directions.

Fresh flower area rule number 6: After resolving the confusion, please confirm your progress direction again.

She herself was not a person with a strong sense of direction, and now she was facing a straight road, with flowers and grass on both sides, and there were no traffic signs as far as the eye could see. Moreover, the faces of the people who had just woken up from the illusion were all from the side——it must be some kind of trick by the flower elves. Right now, she was really not sure of the direction.

Diep Tich naturally walked forward: "This way."

Dang Lam Lam urgently asked: "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Ye Xi casually placed a finger on the ground of a trapezoidal boulder, "This is where I was standing just now. When the flower spirit appeared, I was worried that I would be confused in the direction I was facing. I took a quick glance, and the narrow edge was the back, so let's go in the direction of the wide edge."

"... Who!" Dang Lam Lam was speechless, "You are so thoughtful! I completely did not think of this!"

Diep Tich did not speak, just smiled.

Every single inch of her essence is filled with bloody and strange experiences. Now that she has entered the dungeon, she is basically in a state of high alertness.

The team thus continued to move forward, after walking a few dozen meters, they finally saw a familiar landmark.

Pointing to the white arrow ahead, proving that they had not gone against the trend, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Ye Xi silently counted the number of people while he was taking a deep breath. The original 12 people were now only 7 left, the death rate had already exceeded 40%.

.

The illusion brought extreme fear to his mind and he couldn't let it go, causing Gong Zi to have no choice but to think of other things to relax his nerves, but the Rule Realm before him was naturally not a place that could relax him. He pulled his thoughts from the illusion to the rules, and his tense nerves didn't feel any better.

He therefore turned his gaze down to the basin of the treasure chest in his hand, intending to use the treasure chest to simply and brutally brainwash himself, making himself not want to think about anything else.

... This original pine tree is really beautiful.

The huge gold ingot looked so heavy, it looked so real, making him like it more and more the more he looked at it.

Maybe... Maybe this is real?

The palace was possessed by a demon and started to have some beautiful illusions, thinking that it was real, and he brought it out of the dungeon, making him rich from here on.

Besides, why couldn't it be real?

The strange world is completely different from the real world, the place where this precious pine tree grows is real gold.

Just don't have the tools at hand right now, can't verify.

Cung Tu followed this thought step by step, his mind moved, and he began to wonder: If only there was really a way to get it out, that would be great.

If it really can be taken out, then take it out first and talk about it. After going out, it will be very simple to test whether it is true or not.

If it's real, he gets rich; if it's fake, he doesn't lose anything.

Walking all the way in front of Tieu Lang, he once again crossed a curve. The scene that appeared in front of him made his eyes stop: "Here we are."

Everyone raised their heads, several dozen meters ahead there was an archway. The scenery on the other side of the archway was not very clear, but the style was obviously different from this side.

"Finally finished an area...!" Yu Ying let out a sigh of relief.

Before he finished speaking, a strong wind blew up, blowing the surrounding flowers and grass to the side, peeling off their leaves and blowing across the stone path, blowing in the opposite direction.

A black figure flew out of thin air, to be exact... It seemed to be just an empty black robe, the head covered by a black hood had no face, the position of the sleeves also had no sleeves, in the empty space of five or six centimeters, hung a long scythe.

... Is it Death?

Everyone at the same time thought of some classic images.

Death slowly descended, settling down in front of them.:,,.
