The siren stood just in front of me. It could be said that this was an illusion, but the body of the young girl in front of me was so real, as if she was really living in reality.

I walked around in circles, observing her from different angles, and sure enough, I still couldn't see any flaws. I couldn't help but be curious, so I tried to poke her cheek. Naturally, I couldn't touch her, and my fingers felt like they were walking through a mirror.

It penetrated through her cheek without any resistance, and did not even cause the phantom to cause the slightest disorder.

"This illusion is only fabricated by your vision and hearing, and you cannot touch it." She reminded.

"Since you can fabricate my vision and hearing, can the sense of touch, taste, and smell also be simulated?" I cited the other three senses.

"It's possible, but I still need time to practice," she said.

"That's it." Although this experience of someone standing right in front of me but not being able to touch it made me feel a bit fresh, but after thinking about it carefully, my current behavior was not very appropriate, so I still retracted my finger.

She whispered: "If you really want to touch me, I can speed up the practice."

"That's not urgent." I looked at her phantom and fell into thinking.

The way it looks now is like the Siren has come to the real world, but it is still different from the picture I once sketched in my mind. Once upon a time, when I first met her, she walked with me in the dream world.

She even talked happily with me on the street where people were walking, ate delicious food, and shared her thoughts after watching the movie. Although it was just a fake show she deliberately played for me, I hope that the fake show

can become real.

I hope that one day she can walk out of the dark woods and smile to her heart's content in the sunshine of reality. Occasionally, I can glimpse that kind of desire in her. But for some reason, she always has a strange attitude towards the real world.

resistance psychology.

Seeing that I suddenly stopped talking, she seemed to have misunderstood something. She suddenly became flustered and quickly defended, "Well, I won't use it to do bad things..."

"What bad thing?" It took me a moment to realize that she had misunderstood something.

Since she can fabricate my sensory information, she can also change the angle so that I can only see what she wants me to see. Although she can only fabricate visual and auditory information now, she still has a huge room for growth.

From now on, let alone other physiological perceptions, even soul perceptions such as awareness may be fabricated.

In fact, she has the computing power and analytical power of a supercomputer, and seems to have met the prerequisites of a "brain in a vat".

As long as she is willing, she can take me into a dream that is deeper than all the previous dreams combined. How can this not make people worried?

However, even I feel that I may have some problems, but I really don't worry about that kind of thing. I am willing to believe her wholeheartedly, and believe in this girl who promised me that she will always stand firmly by my side.

And, although I think that is impossible, even if she really wants to dominate me, break away from the subordinate identity of "weapon", and turn me into her "puppet", I will be willing to do so.

So far, she has endured too many dangers with me under my willfulness, and has saved my life from the edge of death countless times. She always responds to my call and incarnates as my sharp blade.

Fight for me.

Therefore, if she asks, I will respond to her call without hesitation, become her sharp blade, and fight for her.

In order to make her feel at ease, I told her all my feelings.

Even I would feel embarrassed to analyze my state of mind and tell my true words to her like this. But she is the best friend closest to me, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are of the same mind. My true words are

I had to let her know no matter what. However, her reaction was much greater than mine. After listening, she seemed to be offline for two or three seconds, and then her phantom was like a reflection on the lake.

It was as violent and chaotic as being hit by heavy rain, and finally disappeared. After a while, her phantom reappeared in front of me, seeming to have returned to its usual calmness.

"I, I know." She said, "But I really wouldn't do that kind of bad thing, really."

"I believe you." I said, "So, how do you plan to let me see Ming Yi's memories?"

"Just like when you looked at Yuchi's memory last time, it allows you to read his memory from his perspective. Because the perceptual information is all ready-made, I don't need to fabricate it, so I can simulate all his perceptions at that time," she said.

"However, because your perception is covered, you will be unable to perceive changes in reality. Even if a demon appears and attacks you, you will not be able to see or hear it. So, um..."

I took her words and said, "I leave it to you to be vigilant, okay?"

"Okay." She seemed a little happy.

"Then, let's get started." I said.

"Yeah." As she responded, my vision changed.

The scene in front of us was no longer a ruined street, but a muddy ground under heavy rain.

"I" was pressed hard to the ground by two strong law enforcement warlocks. No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't move. And in front of "I", a pair of black high-end leather shoes appeared. "I" struggled to raise my head.

, trying to glare at the person in front of him, but his head was pressed down hard, and his face hit the puddle on the ground.

"This is what will happen if you disobey me, Ming Yi." A man's voice sounded from above.

"I" couldn't hold back the raging anger in my heart, and roared at the top of my lungs: "That's a serious sentence!"

——

As I read through it step by step, I finally grasped the ins and outs of how Ming Yi fell to this point.

Just like what I knew in the past, Ming Yi used to engage in law enforcement work in a secular society and was paranoid about fairness. His growth experience was similar to that of most people. He was instilled with a lot of conventional education from his childhood, such as,

You cannot lie, you cannot benefit yourself at the expense of others, you must be obedient and obey the rules, otherwise you will suffer the consequences sooner or later.

Then, like most people, when he grew up, he gradually discovered that the world seemed different from what he thought when he was a child. Many people who lied and benefited themselves at the expense of others not only did not reap the consequences, but became more shrewd, so that they seemed to be sincere and

Selfless, some even become pillars of society.

When there is a discord between their imagination and the real world, some people will think that there is something wrong with themselves, and some people will think that there is something wrong with the world. The latter are generally regarded as fools, and Mingyi is like this

Fool. Generally speaking, even a fool like him will make some compromises under the impact of reality. It does not mean that you have to compromise to the point of giving up your bottom line. You can also make your way of thinking a little more flexible and learn some "human conduct".

Skills in dealing with the world”.

However, he is very stubborn in this regard and believes in the "broken window effect". He believes that breaking the bottom line and then sticking to the bottom line is much more difficult than always sticking to the bottom line or having no bottom line. From this perspective, his paranoia

, also reflects that he is actually a person who lacks self-confidence. Many times, it is not that he does not know that it is better to take a step back, but he is afraid that if he takes a step back, he will take a step back again and again in the future.

In his mind, a truly strong person is one who can be both sharp and rounded, who can instinctively grasp the balance, and who can walk on the tightrope of the soul as if on flat ground. Ordinary people can only choose one of the two. He

His past colleagues all said he was a weirdo, but they had no way of knowing how vulgar he saw himself.

After joining the Security Bureau, he still insisted on his own style, even digging out dirt on his superiors just like he did in his previous unit.

The person he dug up black information this time was Ju Zhong, the director of the Mirage City Security Bureau, and the black material he dug out was the dark transaction between Ju Zhong and the fanatical believers.

Just last month, Juzhong applied for a batch of high-precision equipment from the headquarters, but was kidnapped by a mysterious main-level warlock. The latter was the same as the "mysterious main-level warlock" who was later active in the fog of the mirage market.

Two different characters, their true identities are fanatics. The truth of this matter is that Ju Zhong sold those high-precision equipment to fanatics, and in order to hide the truth, they were "accidentally robbed".

.

I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw this, because it was inconsistent with the facts I knew.

It is absolutely impossible for Ju Zhong to collude with fanatics because the investigation team has conducted an extremely thorough investigation. In order to prove Ju Zhong's innocence, members of the investigation team even claimed that they used necromancy to summon Ju Zhong's remnant soul and ordered Ju Zhong to

The soul tells the truth. Is there any more powerful evidence than this?

unless……

Unless that member of the investigation team is lying.

I'm afraid, the investigation team itself is not innocent. The headquarters sent them here to investigate the equipment robbery, and it was just a show from the beginning.

Their mission is not to find out the truth, but to prevent the truth from being found out.

In Ming Yi's memory, although Ju Zhong is also a researcher, his professional field is not in dreams. The equipment related to dream technology has been prepared for fanatical believers from the beginning.

In addition, if nothing unexpected happens, the investigation team should have determined at a very early stage of the investigation that those devices were seized by the Liucheng Security Bureau after the Liucheng collective slumber incident. He also said something like, "We are considering whether we should

They had a conversation with Lie Que in Liucheng, but at that moment the super-power level warlock appeared." It was probably not such a coincidence. They probably didn't have the guts to talk to Lie Que.

It is no longer news that there are corrupt elements colluding with the Demon Warlock Organization within the Security Bureau. Ju Zhong, the investigation team, and the people behind the scenes who dispatched the investigation team are obviously of this type. What these people fear most is that they were once their prey.

Bloodbath of the Security Bureau's ranks.

Closer to home, Lie Que once praised Ming Yi's tracking and investigation abilities. The reason why Ming Yi was able to investigate Ju Zhong's collusion with fanatical believers was because he fully utilized this ability. Unfortunately, Ju Zhong, as a security guard,

The director of the bureau was not useless. He immediately realized Ming Yi's unusual behavior and immediately launched a hunt for him.

At that time, the people who colluded with the demon warlock organization in the Mirage City Security Bureau were Ju Zhong himself and several of his cronies. Although Ming Yi escaped their first wave of pursuit, in the end he still fell into Ju Zhong's trap.

in hand.

Many of Mingyi's tracking and investigation abilities are the experience he accumulated while working in the law enforcement department of secular society. At the same time, he also has a strong detective talent. He once used this ability to shine in the law enforcement department, and he also knows how to

In turn, it cannot be tracked and investigated by others. This skill in the world of common sense can sometimes search for clues that even magic cannot find from its own unique perspective, but it must be used to compete with unreasonable spells.

That's still too naive.

Ju Zhong did not immediately kill the person after he caught him. He also planned to ask Ming Yi whether he had told other people the dirty information, or whether there were other "accomplices".

The answer to both questions is "no", but of course Mingyi will not say it as the other party wants. Ju Zhong and his cronies are not good at torture, so they handed Mingyi over to "professionals".

That is, the subordinates of the fanatical believers, the demon sorcerers who were operating in the mirage market at that time.

For warlocks, especially demon warlocks, whether the person being tortured will tell the secrets in their heart has nothing to do with the willpower of the person being tortured. Truth telling, mind reading, soul searching... even if they have done high-intensity

Those who undergo confrontation training dare not say that they will be able to withstand the torture of the demon warlock, let alone Ming Yi, a half-monk warlock.

After digging out all the details about Ming Yi, the demon warlocks were not in a hurry to kill him, but continued to torture the law enforcement warlock cruelly. After ten days of hell, Ming Yi's spirit and body collapsed.

, the demon sorcerers also decided to kill him.

But at this moment, someone rescued him. With only one eye left, he saw this scene in a daze: In the dark and smelly basement, a silver light suddenly flashed, and the people around him

The demon warlocks were torn apart one after another, and pieces of meat and internal organs mixed with plasma fell to the ground. He could not see clearly who saved him, and could only vaguely see a black and white figure stepping on the plasma towards him.

Came over. Then, he passed out.

When he woke up, he found that he had been thrown into a wasteland. The time seemed to be late at night, and the cold wind blew through like a ghost crying. It seemed that someone had done simple hemostasis for his injuries, but there was still a lingering feeling all over his body.

Bone-eroding pain. And there was a person sitting on the large stone next to him.

It was a girl wearing a black dress. She had impressive long white hair and a silver sharp sword beside her. Originally, she seemed to be still concentrating with her eyes closed. When Ming Yi looked at her intently, she

Then he opened his eyes. They were bright red eyes that were reminiscent of a devil, shining in the dark like a nocturnal animal.
