"Elder Lingyue, why do I feel that something is wrong?"

Outside the meteorite, an officer who was directing the construction of the fence and analyzed the current situation through the information gathered by various teams, frowned with some doubts, and expressed his opinion to the elders beside him.

Then, he pointed the telescope at the opening of the passageway that had been discovered on the meteorite ahead.If it weren't for the close observation of the previous teams, it would be difficult to find the passage opening that looked exactly the same as the surrounding ones on the huge scorched meteorite.

"wrong?"

Elder Warhammer, who knew about bugs before, subconsciously swept his mental power over when he heard the officer's words. After finding that he was disturbed as before and unable to know the inside of the meteorite, he raised the telescope in his hand with some embarrassment.But when he took a look, he found that there was still no movement at the entrance of the passage.

"No."

At this time, on both sides of the airship in the sky, the energy supply of the city defense electromagnetic guns has stopped. After all, it has been maintained like that, and the energy consumed is too large.However, the rest of the cannon gave the soldiers below the feeling that there was no danger. In this way, even if the speed of the excavation of the fortifications relied on various machines, the construction of the wall was barely completed at this time.

However, limited by the output, when it is allocated to each unit, it can only satisfy one electric assault vehicle. At this time, it is guarding around the meteorite. The 20mm double electromagnetic guns on the vehicle are facing the meteorite, providing everyone with A lot of security.

In this way, no one realizes that something is wrong.

"Elder Warhammer, Elder Lingyue, the two research teams and two supplementary teams that went in before, there are more than 40 people in total. It stands to reason that even if there is an important discovery that needs to be continued research and therefore did not come back, it should be sent a personal notice Let's go. But now, it has been an hour since the last communication, and there is no news yet."

"That's right, Elder Warhammer, do you want to send another team in?"

"Do not."

As an existence like a veteran of the friend clan, although Warhammer entered the elder's house relatively late, he has an influence that Lingyue and others can't match. This time, he also exists as the leader of this operation.After thinking about it for a while, he said seriously: "Notify all troops to be on alert, and the electromagnetic gun of the floating ship is on standby again. Lingyue and I will go there in person."

"This is."

Although I don't know why Warhammer is so mobilizing, but after thinking about it, there is no harm in doing so. After throwing the command to Elder Ren, Lingyue and Warhammer took a small team of 10 people and began to approach the entrance of the passage.

On the other hand, the battle inside the meteorite continued.

Cut off the neck of the enemy in front of him with a wave of his hand, and kicked the opponent's body out, so as to block the impact of his comrades behind him for a while, the soldier looked at his hands, which were made of fine steel, but at this time The Mitsubishi bayonet that was full of gaps was gripped tightly again.

The teammates beside him also took advantage of this short opportunity to take a deep breath, and then adjusted their breathing so that they would not fall into fatigue so quickly.

At this time, everyone had completely turned the fork in the road, and victory seemed to be in sight, but dense crowds of monsters blocked everyone in front of them.Even in the passage outside the fork and on the curved wall, there are many monsters climbing and approaching, which makes everyone even distracted to guard against their heads.

As for the monsters gushing out from the two forks behind him, it intensified the team's defensive pressure.

"Captain." A soldier approached cautiously, then lightly bumped into the captain beside him who had switched back to the melee weapon again, with a strangely relaxed expression.

"What?"

"We are actually simulating in the fantasy world now."

"..."

After a sudden pause, the captain who suddenly reacted, swiped his knife and wiped out the enemy rushing forward, then looked back at the soldier beside him, after noticing the bewilderment and fear in the opponent's eyes, and the strange relaxed expression on his face, he felt With a jerk.

For a moment, he almost had doubts about whether he was really in the fantasy world.

But after special training and understanding of the nature of the illusion, he is very clear, or his soul-level consciousness clearly tells him that this is the real world.

"This……"

However, these soldiers didn't know. Maybe they firmly believed that this was the real world at the beginning, and they knew clearly that this was the real world. Even now, they probably knew in their hearts that this was the real world.

However, faced with the sudden death of teammates, the strength of the enemy, and the shattered peace, these soldiers walking on the single-plank bridge of life and death subconsciously began to search for the "illusion simulation", such a seemingly sufficient Reasons to cheer yourself up.

After all, in the fantasy world, they can fear life and death, fight bravely, and give everything for victory, because there is a fantasy world, no matter how dangerous the scene is, so what if they die?At most, it wants to come alive in reality.He can also be commended for his bravery for his performance.On the contrary, if you are afraid of fighting in the fantasy world, even if you finally come out alive, what you are waiting for is all kinds of psychological counseling, education and so on.

"..."

At this moment, the captain hesitated.

At this time, the captain who saw everyone's expressions clearly knew that as the elder's attendant, as himself who was most likely to "know that this is a fantasy world", if he confirmed to everyone that this is a fantasy world, then everyone would definitely immediately The morale is high, even risking their lives to win.As for Huo Lian and other researchers, I am afraid that even if they know it, they will not refute it, and even use the captain's affirmation to temporarily hypnotize themselves.

After all, man is such a strange creature, and what he likes most is self-deception.

(But, is this really good?)
After silently picking up three monsters that wanted to jump into the team from the air, the captain fell into a daze.

But he suddenly discovered that the soldiers in the team suddenly became more powerful, each movement was like a standard tactical training; every time they cooperated, they were extremely accurate, as if... a battle in a fantasy world.

The team's pressure suddenly dropped a lot, but the captain's psychological pressure increased sharply.

"This is!"

"Go to hell, monster!"

Howling, they charged into the group of monsters in front of them, brandishing Mitsubishi bayonets, and the soldiers using their hands and feet at the same time showed great power, and quickly cleaned up the surrounding monsters.

But seeing the distorted eyes of the soldiers full of hope, and the wounded soldier who rushed into the enemy's line, the captain's eyes seemed a little moist.

(Is this really good?)
Obviously, because of the captain's brief silence, the soldiers who originally wanted to give themselves a reason not to collapse subconsciously took it as their default.

Now it's all right, this is just a simulation of the fantasy world, no matter how powerful the enemy in front of you is, it's still imaginary, let's go!kill it!Try Harder!We won't really die, we'll get the Yang!For victory, charge!
As a result, the soldiers seemed to wake up, as if awakened, or, as if they had gone berserk.

(what do I do?)

At this time, in order to win, it seems best to maintain this kind of scene, but after that?

At this time, as the captain, he hesitated.

Why is it so difficult to obtain the license of the Illusory World Maker?It is obvious that as long as you enter the soul level, you can actually create an illusion world, but there are thousands of soul level in the whole family, but there are less than 30 illusion world creators. Why is this?

why?
It's not because in the fantasy world, the creators can do whatever they want, unless they have good psychological training and moral restrictions, God knows whether these fantasy world creators will create an almost real fantasy world for themselves, and then indulge in it forever .There were quite a few cases of this when the predecessor of the Illusory Realm, the Dream Realm, appeared.

As for the confirmation of users in the fantasy world, it was not required at the beginning, but it became stricter later.

Because, although users cannot achieve their wishes like the creators of the fantasy world, the fantasy world is a virtual world in which they can do anything to themselves, and as long as they are within the constraints of the creator, they can also do whatever they want. Can do anything to everything around.

The whole family has been developed for decades, and the fantasy world has been used for decades. There are many cases of "reality and virtuality are indistinguishable". Because the psychological problems of the fantasy world users were not paid attention to in the early stage, a large number of people who used the fantasy world training Soldiers have the idea that 'reality is virtual', and there are not only one or two cases where riots break out.

Even now, the monitoring of the use of the fantasy world has been perfected in many details such as creators, users, and even exercise planners. In reality, there are still many people who have psychological problems because of the fantasy world.

But now, these soldiers are obviously the early signs of the disease of "no distinction between true and false", and they are even forcing themselves to "distinguish between true and false".

(No, everyone must wake up!)

Although that may lead to more casualties, at least those who survive will not have psychological problems; but if this state is maintained, even if more people survive, the psychological problems of these people will be further aggravated, and they will return to What will happen after the military camp and return to society?
It may be nothing at ordinary times, but once emotional problems arise, they are likely to break through the shackles of moral laws on the grounds that 'this is not the real world'.

"It's fake here anyway, so what's the point of venting?" These people will do this to hypnotize themselves, but the victims are people in the real world, themselves, family members, relatives and friends, and even passers-by.

But just when the captain was about to speak, the fire sickle beside him seemed to see his thoughts, and reached out to hold the captain.

As the pinnacle of the soul level, Huo Lian can clearly tell the truth from the fake here, and the researchers behind him can also tell the difference, but they didn't speak, and Huo Lian even shook his head at the captain who looked over.

"If you live, you can suppress or even restore their psychology through counseling, but if you die, you will lose everything."

If you die, you have nothing!

"..."

Where the mental power was disturbed here, the souls of the soldiers, except for a few in the core hall at the beginning, were indeed not left behind.

This is really all dead.

At this moment, the conflict in the captain's heart continued to conflict, and he gritted his teeth. Finally, he let go of the scythe's hand with a roar, and rushed into the enemy group like a tank under the worried expression of the other party.

"Go to hell, you bastards!"

Swinging a fist and smashing the enemy's body didn't feel any pain, and the abdomen pierced by sharp claws didn't feel any pain, because relying on the characteristics of the energy body, he weakened his own pain sensation, and the wound instantly recovered with the supplement of body energy .

"I let you be arrogant! Hahaha."

Ignoring the poisonous fog, the screaming centipede was thrown away like a whip, the captain's eyes flashed with energy, and the thunder paralyzed all the insects that came into contact with through the centipede's body, providing more convenience for the surrounding soldiers. Kill the environment.

"Come to your grandfather and me if you have the guts!"

Besieged by more than a dozen dogs, a rolling ball took advantage of the captain's inattention, the sharp blade sluggishly cut off the captain's outstretched arm, and the energyized severed limb quickly dissipated in the air.

The captain ignored the slowly recovering arm, waved his tail and tentacles, and used the surrounding dog corpses as tools to extend his attack range, and continued to kill all directions, but...

"Rush me!"

At the cost of the pain and the huge consumption of energy, the captain opened a road paved with monster corpses, but the fearless monster was still charging, and the team members looked at each other with complicated expressions. Looking at the captain in front of him, he silently walked forward step by step with his teammate's corpse.

"Ah! Go to hell!"

The corrosive liquid accidentally injured the captain's abdomen. In order to avoid further damage, he actually cut off the corroded area with a bayonet. His courage, even in the fantasy world.

"Why?"

The captain in front did this as an energy body, and as long as there is a slight accident, the result will be completely dissipated, because when the energy body dies, there is no dead soul.What's more, at this time, there are more and more medium-sized corrosive bugs, which can directly hurt him as an energy body.

However, the researchers were relieved that the other party did not say "this is the real world" after all. The soldiers cooperated closely and perfectly reproduced the formation tactics usually practiced in the fantasy world. Although the wounds continued to increase and the casualties remained the same expanded, but the entrance to the passage ahead was already in sight.

As long as 40 meters;
As long as 30 meters;
As long as 20...

The legs seem to be cut off, although the energy body can regenerate infinitely as long as it is not injured to consciousness, but it takes time.At this time, the captain who had lost his legs felt that his energy was almost exhausted. God knows how many bugs he had killed, but at this moment, his recovery seemed to have stagnated and he fell to the ground, surrounded by his soldiers.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but these soldiers seem to be crying, defending the place with the most precise movements, and at the same time leading the team and the captain to walk towards the entrance of the passage, the surroundings seem to be filled with light blue light, which is very beautiful.

Consciousness is gradually sinking, is it necessary to force sleep to repair the body?Or is the energy below the minimum and consciousness starts to crumble?The captain didn't think about it, and finally focused his eyes on the passage ahead.

There was a sudden violent roar, and the monster seemed to fly up strangely. Just before the captain's hearing membrane dissipated, he seemed to hear the cheers from the soldiers and researchers in the team.

"Captain, whether it's the fantasy world or the real world, we will go seriously, don't worry."

It's too clear, so it's an auditory hallucination, but...

A smile appeared on the corner of the captain's mouth, and the energyized body finally dissipated into nothingness.
