Chapter 275 The Devil Is Here?

The medicine of Penglai, the legendary elixir of immortality, is at the top of the "Lord God" light ball's exchange list for the entire "Oriental Project" series.

The physical state of the person taking the medicine will always be fixed at the moment of taking the medicine. To be precise, the time should be completely constant, so as to achieve conceptual immortality.

From then on, no matter what type and how serious the injury is, the drug user will return to the recorded constant state at a relatively fast speed within an indefinite period of time.

And because the effect of the medicine is engraved on the soul, there is almost no way to directly destroy it through external force, and it can only be obliterated indirectly by other methods-just like the nature of the light of the soul.

Although there is no need for consumption, as long as the will is relaxed, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

But conversely, it can also be considered that if the will of the drug user to survive is so strong that he does not want to die no matter what, it seems that there is really no way to be eliminated.

Of course, all the good things in the world cannot be monopolized by a single Penglai medicine, so it also has other relative weaknesses.

Or it can't be called "weakness", but just like all S-level enhancements or skills, in some aspects it has effects that are powerful enough to involve the level of law, but after all, it is impossible to take care of all aspects.

For example, it seems that the effect of a sleeping pill is mainly sedative and hypnotic, and it cannot reduce inflammation, relieve pain, treat colds and prevent strokes.So at most, we can only regret that it is not a "cure for all diseases" and "specialize in all kinds of dissatisfaction", but it cannot be said to be a defect.

The same is true for the medicine of Penglai——

For example, the heavier the injury received, the longer the recovery time needed. Penglai Shan Huiye was executed on the moon and then exiled to the earth. Although he did not die, it took three full months to barely recover...

It is foreseeable that if it is sealed, or if the damage is too heavy, it will cause an infinite time to sleep, then it will not be much different from death.

Another example is that if the state of the body is completely solidified, no matter what, it will no longer be able to grow at all, and the strengthening of the "Lord God" will not be able to work...

It would be fine if he took the route of mental power or soul power, otherwise, the drug taker would simply explode in place, and if nothing unexpected happened next, he would have to go through an extremely painful transition period.

But these are normal, even if it is the blood of the same S-level vampire true ancestor, it is impossible to achieve this level of immortality.It's just that to achieve this kind of conceptual immortality, the side effects are too great. You must know that vampires don't have the punishment of completely stopping their physical growth.

Therefore, Mu Xiu was only amazed at the high level of immortality that this elixir of immortality could bestow on people, but he had no intention of taking it himself.

After all, for him, the side effects of the so-called elixir are far greater than the main effect of the medicine. Maybe it is used at most to prevent the danger of being wiped out by the big light ball before the fourth-level intermediate?
——But more possibilities, probably let yourself give it to someone else?
When he put the medicine pot properly into his storage space, Mu Xiu couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the chocolates in it just now, and then such a thought involuntarily flashed through his mind.

But, after all, there is only one copy of the elixir, so who do you want to give it to?

wait wait wait!This idea seems very dangerous, and I feel that if I go deeper, I will be completely unable to face it.Mu Xiu shook his head vigorously, trying to expel this dangerous thought from his mind, not wanting to think deeper at all.

However, let people not think about elephants, what will people think in their minds?Elephants... This is a subconscious instinct, common sense in psychology.

Because the issue of Penglai's medicine is involved, it is not a simple emotional choice at all, but a question of who wants to continue to live and live in his own world forever and ever.

But relatively speaking, when a choice is made, there must be a trade-off...

It was clear that it was already cold and hot, but at this moment, Mu Xiu suddenly felt chills all over his body.

He seems to have never realized that the precious "everyday" that he cherishes the most will always change gradually with the passage of time until it is completely lost.

Even if the so-called main world is good for him, time has never stopped, and it has always flowed from the known past to the unknown future.

At this moment, Princess Hei Changzhi watched him put away the Penglai medicine with great interest.

"Speaking of which, didn't you say before that you couldn't wait for three years? Why did you agree to Yonglin this time?"

But after finding that he suddenly started to be in a daze, his eyes gradually became more and more blank, and the breath around him gradually became disordered, she couldn't help frowning, and then asked this question abruptly.

"..."

"..."

However, Mu Xiu shook his head directly after recovering, as if he didn't feel at all overwhelmed by the sudden attack.

He just stretched out his hand to support the floor beside him, concentrating for a while, and then said very calmly: "It's just that there are some special reasons, I think I seem to have the possibility to complete this matter..."

The special reason is that the phase-by-stage main mission released by the big light ball a few days ago gave Mu Xiu a certain degree of room for manipulation.After all, since it is the main task, it must take enough time to complete it. For example, the main task of the first stage is close to three months by default.

It happened to be the rest of the time that Mu Xiu exchanged this time.

But if the mission of the second stage is started, Mu Xiu's exchange time is gone, or he is no longer in this world at all? It is obviously unlikely that the "Lord God" will continue to issue missions, then let time pass, and finally judge that his mission has failed.

The biggest possibility is that after he leaves the current world, the next time he comes in will be at the same time and place, and the mission will continue to open.

In this way, there is naturally room for maneuver, but it is also necessary to grasp the issue of speed.

"Is that so?" Penglai Shan Huiye stared at his face for a long time, then said softly with a smile: "Hey, I have a question to ask you."

"Didn't you say that you have no problems before?" Mu Xiu lowered his head and rubbed the center of his brows, "And I don't know why, I'm suddenly sleepy now..."

"It's not the previous question, but I want to ask you—you said you are from the future, but you are not a citizen of the moon, which means that the future concubine has not returned to it?" Penglai Shan Huiye tilted his head asked the head.

She seemed to be in high spirits, as if she had suddenly returned to a carefree personality from her former exile mentality, and even her curiosity began to flourish.

It's not clear whether it's because of his familiar personality, or because of the endorsement of Baiyi Yonglin, so he doesn't need to be vigilant and guard against Mu Xiu anymore.

"No, Ba... Well, when Yonglin came to pick you up, you were already unwilling to go back..."

Mu Xiu tried his best to think about the chaotic memory, he only felt that the feeling of sleepiness came from the deepest part of his consciousness, and even the beautiful voice of the girl became erratic.

"So she killed the other envoys who came to take you back together, and then lived in seclusion with you on the ground for quite a long time, and finally entered Gensokyo."

"So that's the case..." Princess Hei Changzhi was stunned for a moment, and then her expression was a little complicated, "Where is Fantasy Township?"

Probably because of a vague premonition, Mu Xiu also bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, trying to cheer himself up: "There is a barren and uninhabited area on the border of the deep mountains in the far east... But now is not the time, we have to wait until Zi, Zi, she... um—!!"

...Why is he so sleepy all of a sudden? Could it be that the inner demons have started to attack?

Wait, demons are always associated with negative emotions. Could it be that I just subconsciously lost my mind and immediately gave it an opportunity?Having said that, it seems that it really doesn't need time to prepare for itself!
Hatred, greed, delusion, obsession, resentment, etc., etc., spiritual defects, bottlenecks in practice, as long as there is a chance, they will erode the soul immediately, so they are the demons.

How could it say hello to you first - "Hey, I'm coming over, are you ready?"

A trace of vigilance emerged from the bottom of my heart, but just like a person who finally had time to rest after staying up late for a few days, no matter how rational he was, he couldn't resist the feeling of drowsiness.

Mu Xiu only felt that the real world was rapidly moving away from him, and finally his mind was in a trance, and he didn't know where he was.

Gradually, he fell into a strange state of half-dream and half-awake.

……

……

It seems to be falling continuously in the dark and lightless ocean.

Keep sinking.

No, maybe it wasn't falling in the first place. —Because there is nothing here.Not only is there no light, but there is also no darkness.Because there is nothing, there is nothing to see, not even the meaning of falling down.

There is no up and down, no four directions, no past, and no future.

Even the concept of "nothing" probably does not exist.

Only the pure spirit that surpassed the flesh-body allowed Mu Xiu to maintain the last obsession called self, and was not assimilated by this complete nothingness.But just to maintain this state, he almost went crazy, because it was not so much an observation as it was closer to the intensity of a battle.

This is not a severe and painful tempering, but a place where there is nothing, and the meaning of existence is completely lost.

A world accessible only to the dead and unobservable by the living.

Because time also does not exist here, although something similar to time can be observed, because there is no reference for comparison, he cannot determine how short or how long time has passed.

It may be a moment, or it may be hundreds of millions of years.

Mu Xiu couldn't wake up with his own will, but he didn't sink until he disappeared completely. He miraculously maintained his perception here, but he could only quietly suspend in this piece of land that is as natural as flowing, like corruption. In the generally ugly sea of ​​nothingness.

Even though I have been staring into the distance, I can't see anything.

Even though I have been waiting for something, I can't see anything.

He always felt that he had been here before, but he didn't have the slightest impression of it anyway, and he didn't have any sense of familiarity, it was just an inexplicable intuitive determination.

"Yes, you have been here..."

The whispering voice sounded like a dream, very abrupt and very natural.

In this extremely deep, extremely dark, empty sea of ​​nothingness, the self named Mu Xiu "looked" over, and then he really saw exactly——

Her real fear, she was there.

The strange girl in a white kimono, who seemed to have known him for a long time, showed a soft smile.

"—Long time no see, Zhi."
