After eavesdropping on my thoughts, the whole family went crazy.

Hearing Su Ran say this, Hua Rongqi was stunned for a moment.

Fragments of memories just flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized.

Hua Rongqi's attention was all on Su Ran. He had ignored Xie Shiqing just now, so he naturally forgot what Su Ran asked Xie Shiqing.

Oh, I remembered it. What Su Ran said was "I believe Xie Shiqing can lead us to break the illusion."

Then what did Xie Shiqing say? Oh, Xie Shiqing said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Sorry to disappoint you.

Hua Rongqi savored the meaning of these words in her heart and was suddenly shocked.

Doesn't this mean that Xie Shiqing is not sure of leading them to break the illusion, so what should they do now?
Hua Rongqi came back to his senses and looked at Su Ran. Su Ran blinked at him, as if to say, do you finally understand?

Hua Rongqi: "..."

I'd rather I didn't understand.

If anyone wants to understand it and knows that he is about to die here, then I would rather be a fool.

Xie Shiqing looked at the reactions of these two people and felt speechless for a while.

These two people treat him like air. What are they thinking about here? Sometimes I was surprised, sometimes angry, and sometimes I wanted to cry on the spot.

Why don't you ask my opinion and then make up your mind.

"What are you thinking about?" In the end, Xie Shiqing took the initiative to ask after waiting for a long time but neither of the two people had any plans to ask him.

Su Ran blinked slowly, turned his head to look at Xie Shiqing, and said, "We are thinking about what you said."

Xie Shiqing: "...?"

"Recall what I said?" Xie Shiqing repeated what Su Ran said, with a trace of confusion in his tone. He frowned, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

【Yes, I have! has a problem! What you say is a big problem! ! ! 】

"Your words are okay?" Hua Rongqi couldn't help but raise his voice, "Aren't we going to be trapped in this illusion? Isn't this what you said? You still think your words are okay? It's your words that have harmed us. I’m scared here now.”

Hua Rongqi spat out her words, blaming Xie Shiqing both inside and outside her words.

It wasn't until Su Ran pulled Hua Rongqi's sleeve that he stopped. He just looked at Xie Shiqing with a dissatisfied look on his face, accusing him with his eyes.

Su Ran: "..."

[Brother, this is not how we break the defense. 】

[I understand your mentality, but you can't treat Xie Shiqing like this. What if he is unhappy and stabs you to death right here? 】

Su Ran quietly glanced at the sword Xie Shiqing had pinned behind his back.

Xie Shiqing: "..."

Can this be all my fault?
Xie Shiqing didn't feel angry about Hua Rongqi's accusation, he just felt it was outrageous.

It was so outrageous, so outrageous that he thought Hua Rongqi really had something wrong with his brain.

Is this person really from their organization? They organize the selection of people. When did they stop selecting people?

Xie Shiqing fell into deep doubts.

"Don't..." Su Ran was afraid that Xie Shiqing would be angry with Hua Rongqi, so he couldn't help but said, "Don't argue with him, that's just the way he is."

"My brain is not working very well." Su Ran added in a low voice.

"Yeah." Xie Shiqing responded and nodded.

Hua Rongqi: "...?"

what do you mean?
Hua Rongqi lost his temper and wanted to argue with Xie Shiqing, but Su Ran held him down before he could speak.

Hua Rongqi glanced at her: What are you doing? Don't stop me!
Su Ran: "..."

[If I weren’t afraid that Xie Shiqing would stab me in anger, I wouldn’t want to stop you. 】

"Hey." Su Ran sighed lightly, grabbed Hua Rongqi's sleeve and said, "Let's think about how to get out of this... uh... illusion within the illusion."

Hua Rongqi had no hope for this and said dejectedly: "We are already in an illusion, can we really go out? Isn't this just God trying to kill me?"

Su Ran wanted to agree with what he said, but just as she was about to nod, she felt that it was not good to be so depressed.

So he resisted the urge to nod. Su Rong said: "The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Don't worry about these illusions or not. Let's think of a way first. What if we get out?"

When Hua Rongqi heard what she said, he raised an eyebrow and said strangely: "We are in an illusion now, and you actually said don't worry about the illusion?"

Su Ran: "..."

【Ah--】

[Because I have also been driven crazy by this illusion, and I am already talking indiscriminately. Please leave me alone. 】

Su Ran and Hua Rongqi bickered for a while, and after a while, they realized that Xie Shiqing had come over and remained silent.

She looked up and found that Xie Shiqing had already walked towards the tree with vines tied on it.

Su Ran signaled Hua Rongqi to be quiet, and then walked towards the tree herself, with Hua Rongqi following her step by step.

The three people gathered quietly in front of the tree. Xie Shiqing looked cold and stared at the vine expressionlessly.

"Is there something wrong?" Su Ran asked.

Xie Shiqing's eyes fell on the vines, and when he heard Su Ran's voice, he said lightly: "I have seen this tree before."

Su Ran: "Hmm...huh???"

Su Ran was startled, and her eyes widened involuntarily.

Hua Rongqi was no less surprised than Su Ran.

Hua Rongqi said: "Have you seen that you didn't tell me earlier?"

He opened his mouth to blame, and Su Ran quickly stopped him to prevent him from saying anything too extreme.

"Where have you seen it?" Su Ran asked.

Xie Shiqing glanced at Su Ran and didn't care about Hua Rongqi, choosing to treat this kind of person like nothing.

"When I first met Yuchi Suihua." Xie Shiqing's voice was cold. He paused before continuing: "The tree you and I hugged together is this one."

Su Ran: "...!!!"

[As expected of a boss, I can remember all these and pay attention to the details in life! 】

Hua Rongqi: "...!!!"

I just said that this person has bad intentions. Look, I also emphasized "I will hug you together", haha.

Hua Rongqi sneered in his heart and looked at Hua Rongqi with cold eyes.

Su Ran did not doubt the authenticity of Xie Shiqing's words. She just asked: "Why is that tree here?"

Because they looked for a well on the way, and then went in another direction to look for a grave, they had deviated from their original location.

So when they went down the mountain, they did not choose to follow the path they came up.

Logically speaking, they would not encounter that tree.

[This illusion is too strange. Not only are the flow rates of time different, but the final destinations of the two forked roads are actually replicated one-to-one. 】

[That’s all, now I’m actually encountering some kind of confusion in time and space, and confusion in location. 】

[The vine is still the same vine as before, but the tree has turned into the tree they met before. 】

[It’s simply... a test of one’s mental endurance. 】

Su Ran simply couldn't imagine how frightened she would be if she accidentally entered this illusion alone and didn't meet Xie Shiqing.

Oh, the opening scene is dead.

Because "no one enters the temple", if she is alone, where will there be any follow-up development? She is not as lucky as Yuchi Suihua and has survived until now.

Su Ran has the consciousness of being cannon fodder.

Cannon fodder and male protagonist are different.

Even if they have the same encounter, the same configuration, and the same choice, their final results are different. This is the male protagonist, with his own protagonist aura.

Hearing Su Ran's words, Xie Shiqing shook his head: "I don't know, maybe the trees moved, or maybe we came back while walking."

——This can also explain why they haven't come down the mountain after walking for a long time.

Su Ran is more inclined to the second possibility.

Hua Rongqi obviously had the same idea as Su Ran. He was shocked and said: "So you mean that we walked for a long time, but we were actually walking in circles the whole time?"

Xie Shiqing said "hmm" and said no more.

Hua Rongqi simply sat down on the ground, leaning against the tree trunk: "Then I won't leave. I'm still here walking around anyway, so I might as well sit down and take a rest."

Su Ran: "..."

[I never realized that Hua Rongqi was a shabby scoundrel. 】

[Did he act like this when he encountered difficulties in tasks before? 】

[It’s surprising that this kind of person hasn’t been strangled by the organization. 】

[He can still be regarded as a kind of talent by living till now. 】

Xie Shiqing: "..."

Shameless stuff.

Forget it, I don’t want to leave either.

Just as Xie Shiqing was thinking this, he saw Su Ran sitting next to Hua Rongqi.

He lowered his head and saw two furry heads.

Xie Shiqing: "..."

Ah.

Unheard of and unseen, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix were encountered by him.

Xie Shiqing sighed, not knowing what he was thinking, and took a few steps to the side.

Then, under the gazes of Su Ran and Hua Rongqi, he sat next to Su Ran.

Su Ran: "..."

[Wuhu—Let’s all show off together. 】

Hua Rongqi: "..."

Okay, I get it, it’s really hopeless now, so hurry up and write your last words.

Oh, there is no point in writing a last word. There are only three of them. They are all going to die anyway. Who should I write a last word for?

Xie Shiqing: "..."

It's very tiring to lead two fishermen, so I'll just mess with them too.

Su Ran moved a little to the side and moved Xie Shiqing's position quite considerately.

[So are we waiting to die now? 】

[After all calculations, I never expected that I would die in an illusion. 】

[And he was not tortured to death by monsters and monsters, nor was he sacrificed to the mountain god by the villagers, but he sat down and waited for death on his own initiative. 】

【Too dramatic. 】

[If an author writes like this, I will definitely write 10,000 words in the comment area to scold him for being stupid, but the reality is really like this. Life is indeed more magical than fiction. 】

【etc--】

Su Ran suddenly looked at Hua Rongqi, who was pulling grass and playing out of boredom.

[Something's wrong, Hua Rongqi fell into the illusion because I dragged him to play. 】

[What would be the ending of Hua Rongqi without me? 】

[It’s impossible to step into this street at the same time, right? 】

Sensing Su Ran's gaze, Hua Rongqi turned his head and looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Ran blinked and asked softly: "Do you usually like to go to lantern festivals and the like?"

Hearing the sound, the expression on Hua Rongqi's face fell instantly, and he said bitterly: "If I can go out this time, I will never come to a place like this again. If you see me, you will stay away from me."

Su Ran: "..."

[Look, it’s scaring other people’s children psychologically. 】

Su Ran was speechless for a moment, then said: "That's not it. What I mean is, if you go out alone tonight, will you go to see the Lantern Festival?"

Hearing this, Hua Rongqi frowned deeply, pointed at himself and said, "Forget about watching the Lantern Festival, do you think I am someone who can go out at night?"

Su Ran: "..."

[It seems true. 】

After getting along with each other for so many days, Su Ran had a rough understanding of Hua Rongqi.

This guy is a lazy ass.

Let alone going out at night, he was not even willing to go out during the day and just wanted to stay in his room.

If Su Ran hadn't forcefully asked Hua Rongqi to accompany him to the academy, he wouldn't have wanted to go out.

[That’s strange. If Hua Rongqi was alone, he wouldn’t come to this alley. Logically speaking, he wouldn’t come here either in the original work. 】

[If he would not have come, he would not have entered the illusion, and these things would not have happened. 】

[This shows that... because of me, Hua Rongqi's ending has changed. 】

[Although it is not clear how he ended up in the original work, if the speculation is not wrong, there are thousands of ways for him to die, but it will not be this way. 】

Su Ran's expression gradually became serious, she raised her hand to support her chin, and began to think in her mind.

[If I can change Hua Rongqi's ending, does that mean... I can also change my third brother and the others? 】

Su Ran's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but feel happy for her discovery, but soon her expression darkened again.

[You still have to go out first. If you can't break the illusion, everything is in vain. 】

【Why--】

Hua Rongqi looked at Su Ran and was startled by her rapid expression changes in a short period of time.

It's over, Ran Ran seems to be crazy.

"You said we were trapped in the same place and couldn't get out. What's the situation over there at Yuchi Suihua?" Hua Rongqi asked, intending to divert Su Ran's attention.

"Ah..." Su Ran woke up from his fugue after hearing Hua Rongqi's words, "His side should be going well, maybe he has already gone out."

Hua Rongqi: "...???"

Why is Su Ran so confident in Yuchi Suihua? Could it be that somewhere he doesn't know, they have already...

Hua Rongqi couldn't help but think about it.

With his expression, Su Ran could tell what he was thinking without saying it.

"What are you thinking about in your mind every day?" Su Ran couldn't help but said, "I think it's okay for him to enter the temple alone. Maybe someone is lucky and breaks the illusion by accident."

[You can’t say that I know he is the male protagonist. He will definitely come out of this illusion safely, right? 】

[Then what should I say if Hua Rongqi and Xie Shiqing ask what their roles are? 】

[You two, like me, are cannon fodder who disappeared before the plot even started. 】

[Haha, it’s so humorous, three cannon fodders gathered together. 】

Su Ran couldn't say these words, so she could only make up an excuse to deal with Hua Rongqi.

Fortunately, Hua Rongqi is very easy to fool. When Su Ran said this, he immediately nodded: "He is shameless."
