Volume 1 Chapter 164: Despair

When Dawu and I realized that we were trapped in an infinite illusion loop, we did not leave the house rashly like before.

It seemed that as long as we didn't leave the house, we wouldn't fall into the illusion, so we quickly came to a very simple conclusion.

The point that makes us fall into the illusion occurs when we leave this house and escape to the city gate.

"Let's sum up each other and list everything we saw and heard on the way to escape. The thing that keeps us falling into illusions repeatedly is definitely something on the road." I said.

Then, based on the list made by the two of us, the results are as follows.

As soon as we leave this house, we will see a yellow lantern across the street that is much brighter than the lanterns in front of other houses.

The second one is to continue running forward, and soon we will see a storefront with an open door again.

Then when we were about to arrive at the city gate, we both heard the sound of gongs and drums from the Yin Drum Team every time.

"I think the sound of the Yin Drum Team's drumming should be what brings us into the illusion. Every time we hear this sound, we will fall into the illusion. After entering the illusion, we will unconsciously run in the opposite direction until we return to the illusion.

Inside this house."

After Dawu's brief introduction, there is not much difference with my thoughts.

Because the other items don't look like nodes that can make us fall into hallucinations. Although they have their own special characteristics, they are just special. It seems that there is nothing enough to make us hallucinate.

So this time we decided to plug our ears with things. As long as we couldn't hear the sound of the Yin Drum Troupe, we would be able to escape from Ruyi City smoothly!

In order not to hear the sound of the drums, we took out everything in our backpacks and tried to find something that could block all hearing.

Finally, we found a ball of alcohol cotton for disinfection in the bag, moistened it with water and stuffed it into our ears. Dawu and I tried to roar a few times face to face. After we found that we couldn't hear any sound, we immediately shouted again

Be ready to escape from here.

As my gesture fell, we ran towards the city gate again, this time we didn't run as fast as the previous times.

Although our house was not particularly far from the city gate, we still managed to do it within an hour after carrying such heavy equipment back and forth twice, and we had already used up a lot of energy.

The road that originally only took ten minutes to reach took us nearly twenty minutes this time.

But this time we put alcohol cotton into our ears, so we couldn't hear anything, and we successfully didn't hear the drumming of the Yin Drum Team.

When we saw the city gate this time, we saw joy in each other's eyes. As we stepped out of Ruyi City, a cold air hit me, making me feel refreshed.

I immediately took off the cotton in my ears and shouted: "Grass, it's finally out, it's great!"

Dawu was also cheering and we wished we could hug each other.

We did not hesitate and took the time to run towards the dark desert. This time we walked very far. In addition, we had consumed too much energy in Ruyi City, and we were already exhausted, so we had to stop and rest.

However, as soon as I sat down, a sudden chill hit me from the top of my head.

I sat up from the ground again and found Dawu staring at me with a sad face, and the surrounding desert scene changed back to the house where we were originally.

I looked around in disbelief and didn't say anything for a long time. I couldn't figure out what went wrong.

"This... Third Master, didn't we plug our ears with cotton? Why did we still fall into the illusion?" Dawu looked at me with despair.

I shook my head in pain. This time after leaving Ruyi City in the illusion, I clearly felt the change in temperature, so I had no doubt that we were still in the illusion.

If Dawu hadn't been the first to notice something was wrong this time, I might never have realized that I was actually still in an illusion.

Although we still haven’t figured out why we fall into the illusion again, what is certain is that this illusion will not only let us cycle infinitely, but it also has self-improving consciousness and will gradually repair the logic that appears in the illusion.

loopholes.

It will make the illusion more real. After falling into the illusion many times, we will be able to improve our logical errors, so that we will no longer be able to detect the difference between the illusion and reality.

As a result, I am afraid that as long as we fall into the illusion once or twice, we will never wake up again!

Thinking of this, I got goosebumps all over my body. Then I told Dawu this guess, and there was no color on his face.

"Damn it, I'd rather encounter those monsters and ghosts than encounter this unclear mechanism. It's like a punch hitting cotton and it's powerless, bastard!"

This time, we both fell into an extremely long silence.

It is already nine o'clock in the evening. I originally planned to escape when it was just getting dark. Who would have expected that I would encounter this situation. And if I don't escape now, I will most likely encounter it again later.

That strange fog, and you can see black masses crawling on the ground.

By then, we won't have another chance to try to leave here.

Dawu gave a bitter smile and said: "Third Master, I'm afraid we only have two chances to leave here. If we haven't escaped after two times, I'm afraid that the illusion is so real that neither of us will be able to escape again."

I realized it was fake."
