Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 690 Expelling
The current situation reminds me of the allusion of Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly, Zhuang Zhou and the butterfly, no one knows which is true and which is false.If I am in a dream, then the Wenmin I see now, and everything I have experienced before, is it also a spring and autumn dream?
But these experiences are so real that it is impossible to combine them with dreams.

Thinking of this, I looked at Lanhuo and Wen Min, who knew a lot about Meng Mandrill, so I said, "Now I'm struggling whether I fell into a dream or not, and no one can prove it. I think we should find a way first." Wen Min Sighing, he said, "I've been looking for it, but the surrounding environment keeps changing, so I can't get out."

I thought about it, and slowly sorted out my thoughts in my mind, then came up with an idea, and said: "If we assume that everything is a dream, then all the people in front of us are fake? This way Come on, everything we experience and see will be dominated by our own consciousness. In this case, we will experience the same dream. If we do not enter the dream, as you said, we will If we are pulled in by Mengdrill at any time without knowing it, then the dreams we experience will not be the same."

Wen Min nodded, frowned and said, "Yes, what can you do?"

I said: "Let's find a way first, but before that, use ropes to tie each other up first. If it is the second situation, do this, and the situation before you and Team Liu and others will not happen, and we Many people, as long as their willpower is strong enough, cannot fall into a dream at the same time. Then when other people have accidents, other people who are awake can continue to look for a way out."

Wen Min nodded immediately, a smile finally appeared on his tired face, and he said pleasantly: "This idea is indeed feasible. But... what if it is the first case?"

I continued: "If it's the first type, then none of us can trust anyone now, you won't believe that I'm real, and likewise, I can't believe that you are real, but dreaming is actually a way to confuse people You said that I have been circling in this sacrificial tower several times before, so it can be seen that the scope of this dream is actually limited. Perhaps, the dreams it creates cannot escape from this place. of the sacrificial altar."

Wen Min is a smart person, and he immediately answered the words: "So, since there is no secret passage in the sacrificial tower, it is very easy for us to go out. If I can't get out, it means that you are fake. "

"Yes." I nodded and said, "This method is not only useful for you, but also allows any of us to recognize our position."

Harichagai leaned on the coffin, and said to me with a smile: "You usually don't say a word, but you can turn your head very quickly. But, have you forgotten the one-eyed dragon? If the second situation occurs, then the person who does not fall into the dream , may be attacked a lot, or there may be a melee between the dreamers, what should we do then?"

In fact, I have thought about this problem, but I couldn't think of a solution, so I said: "There is only this problem now. Solve this problem, and we can put the plan into action."

Sitting by the fire at this moment, the warmth brought by the warm firelight can't drive away the chill in my heart at all.I was thinking about another question, if it was a dream, then, did I really get the celestial eye I got?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take that thing out.The texture of the entire sky eye is like jade but not jade. Before holding it in the water, I only felt the tentacles were cold, but now it has a warmth.Wen Min looked at it carefully for a moment, and said, "That's it? Can its quality really save the corpse fairy?" She was the one who told me the news from Sky Eye, but seeing such a little thing now really makes people suspicious .

I nodded, my thoughts were still stuck in the previous question, and I didn't say much.The Eye of Heaven was obtained before we saw Mengdrill, so it should be real, right?

I touched this thing fiercely, and my heart was settled.

However, at this moment, I suddenly felt goose bumps on my body. In the darkness, a feeling of being peeped spontaneously arose.I am very familiar with that feeling. I had this reaction when I walked into the passageway with Mengdrill.Later, I changed places with Cyclops, and Cyclops fell into a dream.

Could it be that Mengdrill came out?
My muscles tensed involuntarily, and I turned my head suddenly, looking in the direction where the peeping feeling came from.There was only darkness in that place, but the feeling of being watched was so obvious and clear that it was hard for me to ignore it.

This action of mine caught the attention of Wen Min and others. Wen Min frowned slightly and said, "Chen Xuan, what's wrong?"

It seemed that they didn't feel anything, so I couldn't help asking: "You guys, do you feel that something is watching us?" Wen Min and Harichagai looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.I looked at the sleepy one-eyed dragon, and couldn't help wondering, was it my hallucination, or did I sense the dream?

But why only I can sense it?

In myths and legends, such things as dream mandrills are not ghosts. It’s fine if a shaman like Harichagai can’t sense them.

What is going on?

The feeling of peeping is very strong, and I even have a feeling that that thing is approaching us.It was as if there was an invisible ghost staring at us, walking towards us step by step.

I stared at that direction, but in fact, there were only stone walls there.

Wen Min almost thought that I was going to fall asleep, she came to me, her eyes showed worry, and when she was about to speak, I suddenly felt that the feeling of peeping suddenly loosened, as if the invisible ghost suddenly disappeared.

I was a little dazed, and almost wondered if there was something wrong with my sanity. However, at this moment, the lazy guy yawned, with tears in the corners of his eyes, looking extremely sleepy.He said: "Take your time to think of a way, I'll sleep first." After speaking, he lay down beside the fire.

Hearing this, the smile on Hong Mao's face disappeared. He scratched his hair and said, "People are more angry than others. How can this kid sleep so comfortably at any time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wenmin and I reacted at the same time, yelling that it's not good!
In the place where Mengdrill is located, people are extremely prone to sleepiness, and the most taboo thing is sleeping. It is impossible for lazy people not to know!But now he said he was going to sleep, could it be that he was about to fall asleep?I thought of the feeling of peeping just now, and immediately understood that it was the precursor of Mengdrill's appearance!

I was shocked for a moment, and I didn't care about why I was the only one who could sense it, so I jumped over the fire to the lazy guy, and without saying a word, I punched him in the face with a fist.

The lazy guy had just closed his eyes, and I immediately woke him up with my fist. He covered his face, as if he had woken up, and finally said: "Thank you."

It's a great feeling to punch someone, and at the end they say thank you, especially when this person is someone you want to punch but can't.I thought to myself that the only benefit Mengdrill brings is probably this.

The moment the lazy guy woke up, the feeling of being peeped suddenly became stronger, and I immediately shouted: "Mengdrill has come out, everyone pay attention to it, this thing mainly depends on people's willpower .”

Since the red hair was injured by parasites, it became very weak, and then the one-eyed dragon went crazy. I have to take care of the two of them. Therefore, along the way, lazy people are leading the way, exhausting both physical and mental energy, so I am exhausted The feeling is also the strongest.

It is estimated that he was too tired and it was difficult to improve his spirit, so Mengdrill had an opportunity to take advantage of it.And at this moment, I also noticed something that I had overlooked.

The people in the ancient city of swallowing silkworms must have a way to deal with these dream mandrills. The reason why they have these dream mandrills is probably to prevent some outsiders who sneak in.In other words, these dreamdrills actually exist as a kind of guardian body.

So what are they guarding?
01?

At this moment, I have the answer in my heart. It is not so much to protect 01, but to protect the eye of the sky that suppresses 01. After all, this thing is an artifact of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and it is easy to be peeped.But now, the Eye of Heaven has been on me all the time, maybe it really has some kind of strange power, so that I can sense Mengdrill.

And judging from these two 'face-to-face' experiences with Mengdrill, it seems that it has no way to attack me at all.

Now that it has retreated from the lazy man's body, who is the next target?I didn't care about explaining much, and immediately took the Sky Eye in my hand, and stood in the middle of the crowd. While feeling the sense of peeping, I told a few people what I had just guessed, and let them gather around me.

The whole process lasted for more than 20 minutes. Mengdrill confronted us invisibly with a posture almost hunting.Finally, it seemed to finally give up, and the sense of voyeurism suddenly disappeared.I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and the few of them leaned close together, putting the Eye of Heaven in the middle, forming an invisible barrier.

At this time, looking at the one-eyed dragon who was still sleeping, a thought came to my mind, wondering if the sky eye could wake him up from his dream?

I tried to put the sky eye on the chest of the one-eyed dragon, but there was no response for a long time. Could it be that the sky eye will lose its effect if I fall into a deep dream?Just when I was about to give up this method, suddenly, a black air suddenly appeared in the jade-like eyes of the sky, and the black air vaguely looked like a human figure, which appeared in the eyes of the sky for only a moment, and then disappeared suddenly It's like being digested by the eyes of the sky.

At the same time, the one-eyed dragon opened his eyes abruptly.
