alone mountain and river

He picked up the hot tea on the table, took a big sip, took a deep breath, and continued: "Maybe you will despise me, Your Excellency Wen Ruyu, I am here to apply to be a hired illusionist here. , I have basically confirmed that this is an unbreakable illusion, or in other words, with my level, it is impossible to break the illusion... But in order to obtain the high monthly salary of the Bi family, I must enter it every day, What should I do? Going to the tavern to drink is a good pastime, anyway, I can already figure out the most basic copper coins, which can be regarded as a little money that can't be spent..."

Feng Qinglang nodded, expressing her understanding of his mentality, Xin Dao, I am afraid that there are not a few illusionists with his mentality in this team, so the Bi family introduced the bottom elimination system to eliminate the weak.

Fan Gao said: "That's how I became friends with the tavern owner. I didn't tell the investigators the truth. In fact, I told the tavern owner about illusions. I even tried to tell him that they don't really exist. Just living in a fictional fantasy world..."

Feng Qinglang frowned and said, "Are you crazy?" In the world of illusion, once the world rules are established and the world structure is stabilized, the characters born in the illusion often think that they are real, and this world is also real.But if someone tells them the truth, and these fictional characters believe the truth, then their spirits will break down, and the whole spiritual world will probably break down with it.

That may be able to severely injure the caster and save the employer from the illusion, but it is more likely to turn Bi Yuntian into an idiot from now on.

Fan Gao sighed: "Yeah, I also think it's a bit crazy! But the tavern owner always laughs, he doesn't believe me, he just thinks I'm an interesting guest... It's like in the real world, When someone tells you that you live in a world that doesn't exist, most people don't believe it."

He took another sip of tea and continued: "That morning, I did something that you must think is even crazier... Well, I only went in after drinking because I received a bad news that betrayed me back then. That senior brother died, hey, he just died in the illusion, I was very sad, after all, he was the only friend I had...Because I drank wine, after I went in, I talked a lot with the tavern owner, he always Laughing, thinking I'm getting drunk again."

Fan Gao smiled wryly and said: "Yes, I was really drunk and crazy. In order not to fool this friend I believed in, I proved the existence of illusion to him. I continued to imagine a large number of copper coins in front of him, and piled up the entire bar. , the people in the whole tavern were stunned. At first they thought I was just a rich magician, but when they found that I couldn’t fit so many copper coins on me, their spirits began to collapse, especially That tavern owner, he finally believed my words, he just lived in a fictional world..."

Fan Gao's face became a little pale, and he continued: "Then, the meteorite rain suddenly fell, and I woke up from the wine. It was a signal that the spiritual world was about to collapse. I knew that I had to evacuate immediately, or my The spiritual source will also be destroyed together with this world. But I failed to leave, my only friend, the tavern owner, grabbed my wrist tightly, his eyes became fierce, I know, I didn't have time to say goodbye at all, my friend no longer exists..."

"That's where my memory broke down, and then, I became a damned blind man, a banjo player, with a glorious story... Your Excellency Wen Ruyu, please allow me to thank you again, It was you who saved me from eternal sinking, and in order to repay you, I decided to tell you the truth of this matter." Fan Gao stood up solemnly again, and saluted to thank you.

Feng Qinglang also accepted it silently again, and he pondered: "Your Excellency Fan Gao, with all due respect, your eyes are still full of confusion. Do you still have any unsolved mysteries in your heart?"

The deep confusion appeared in Fan Gao's eyes again, he took out a banjo from the cabinet behind him, and said in a low voice: "This afternoon, my person named Bi sent it over. "

His fingers danced lightly on the strings, and the melodious music sounded and echoed in this small space. Feng Qinglang frowned and said, "Your Excellency Fan Gao, your piano skills are really good, but what do you mean? ?”

Fear appeared on Fan Gao's face, and he said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Wen Ruyu, I... I didn't know how to play the banjo before, but my current skill, look... If I lie to you, I have learned this since I was a child. I'm afraid you will believe it too, right?"

He also took out the necklace he hung around his neck, shook it in front of Feng Qinglang, and said, "Besides, before you came, I secretly did a test, and the test showed that now, I am... I am still in the illusion. among!"

After finishing speaking, Fan Gao stared at Feng Qinglang, as if he was worried that he was indeed a part of the illusion and would disappear at any time. This really made Feng Qinglang a little creepy. He couldn't help but think of "a thousand years in a blink of an eye". In this illusion, He learned many skills.

According to Fan Gao's logic, isn't it that he is still in the illusion, has never woken up, thinks he has escaped from the illusion, but is actually still being fooled by others, and fantasizes that he is traveling thousands of miles alone, escaping many hunts, All kinds of stories happened later...

Encountering Fan Gao now may be just a projection in the subconscious, incarnating as Fan Gao, reminding myself that the illusion still exists, so hurry back to reality.

This kind of thought was too frightening, he hurriedly ordered himself to wake up immediately, and returned to the basic logical world. After countless experiences of life and death, he clearly told himself that all this is not an illusion!Then, the problem is only with Fan Gao, or with this necklace!

He took a deep breath, looked at the necklace carefully, and said calmly: "Your Excellency Fan Gao, did you share the secret of your necklace with that tavern owner?"

Fan Gao blushed, nodded and said: "Yes! I have shared almost all my experiences with him. However, this is not enough to overturn the test rules."

Facing Fan Gao's eyes asking for help, Feng Qinglang knew that he was already on the verge of danger. Once he was sure that he was still living in the illusion world, he might choose to commit suicide without hesitation, hoping to get out and return to the so-called reality world.

After thinking for a while, Feng Qinglang slowly said: "Your Excellency Fan Gao, listen carefully, your necklace is probably contaminated because you have stayed in the fantasy world for too long! Tomorrow you will apply for a An expert in white magic, purify your necklace again, I believe the result will be different!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

"..."

After bidding farewell to Fan Gao, Feng Qinglang returned to the independent apartment that Bi's family had arranged for him, and reorganized all her thoughts. It was basically confirmed that this illusion was hosted by someone, that is to say, Bi Yuntian's spiritual world was not run out of order.Even the "Blink of a Millennium", which is known as the number one illusion in the ages, needs someone to preside over it, not to mention the illusion in Biyuntian. Since Feng Qinglang has already seen it, she can tell that although the illusion is powerful this time, it is still far away. It's not as good as a millennium in the blink of an eye.

So, who is the caster?Those who can stay by Bi Yuntian's side for a long time and keep the whole illusion running, Feng Qinglang first circled the name of "Old Lady Bi", and then circled the name of "Dark Guard". The masters who secretly protected Biyuntian in the shadows were also suspicious, because they were almost inseparable from Biyuntian...

In the end, he circled the name of "Biyuntian". This is a weird, creepy but reasonable conjecture. There is another person who has the opportunity to stay by Biyuntian's side forever, and that is him. Own.

It's really hateful for an illusionist to attack himself!Although such cases are rare in the history of illusion, the possibility cannot be ruled out...

While thinking about it, there was a soft knock on the door.

The door opened, and a beautiful figure stood outside the door, it was Beatrice.

Feng Qinglang was overjoyed, because he saw that the other party was still carrying a large and exquisite basket, which was exuding the aroma of wine and meat, and by visual inspection, there were a few freshly prepared side dishes and two jugs of good wine.

Beatrice saw that Feng Qinglang was not surprised by her late-night visit, but instead felt joyful, and she couldn't help but see joy in her eyes, but she quickly and keenly observed that the other party seemed to pay more attention to the basket in her hand, and for a while The melancholy accumulated from walking on the lake today, could not help sublimating into anger, and suddenly turned cold, and said indifferently: "Well, I knocked on the wrong door. It turns out that the handsome illusionist I was looking for was not in this room."

As she said that, she was about to turn around and leave. Feng Qinglang would not be willing to take a late night snack and leave. She hurriedly smiled and said, "That's right, that's right, I'm that handsome illusionist, Miss Bi, please!"

Beatrice snorted heavily before entering the room reluctantly.

The food is good food, the wine is good wine, accompanied by a beautiful woman, the moon is shining outside the window, Feng Qinglang consciously suppressed those absurd thoughts and conjectures in her heart, and it also faded a bit.

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious, did you make it yourself?"

"No, I'm only responsible for poisoning it after it's done."

"..."

Under the soft moonlight, Beatrice noticed that there was still a bit of confusion between Feng Qinglang's eyebrows that had not disappeared, so she smiled and said, "You rescued that unlucky Mr. Fan Gao on the first day you came here. Everyone praised our Foreign Affairs Department, and finally found a capable person."

Feng Qinglang could only smile wryly and said, "To be praised by the powerful people behind the scenes, I will laugh even in my dreams tonight."

Beatrice shook her index finger: "I don't see that you look happy, are you in some trouble?"

The brilliance of the moon seemed to be concentrated on Beatrice's pretty face, which looked bright and clean. Feng Qinglang saw the bright moon in front of her eyes full of concern, so she had to confess: "Your Excellency Fan Gao is a little confused, he still doubts that he is still In the illusion, this reminds me of my friend who fell into the 'Blink of a Millennium', whether he really escaped from that illusion..."
