"You..." Seeing this sudden change, Honglian couldn't help but take a half step back in surprise, her red lips half opened, "How did you..."
"You actually broke away from the illusion created by the fire charm!"
"How is it possible..."
Hong Lian can't help but be surprised. Although illusion is a heretical practice, how many people in this world can get rid of their inner demons and illusions by relying on their own will without resorting to external force?
Especially... Guren's illusion.
Of course, this does not mean that Guren's illusion skills are very profound. On the contrary, I said before that she is a dabbler.
But precisely because she is a dabbler, the people who can be easily pulled into the illusion by her are all people with serious flaws in their defenses.
How can such people break free from illusions on their own?
Of course it's impossible in theory, but if it applies to most people in this world, there will always be exceptions.
For Xue Nu, the rainy night in Jidu was the cause of her inner nightmare for the next ten years, but it was also the beginning of true redemption in her life.
The light and shadow are intertwined, making it difficult to separate. How can it be summed up in a simple sentence: Beware of shortcomings?
Regarding Guren's surprise, the snow girl naturally had no intention of explaining it, and just continued to ask, "Is it just to pry into this boring past event that happened many years ago that Your Highness took so much trouble to pull me into the illusion?"
"Bored!?" Surprise is a kind of emotion that lasts for a very short time - unless it is pretending, Honglian has naturally regained his composure at this time, snorted coldly, and sneered at the snow girl's words, "This princess looks at it, back then
Aren’t you bored?”
"That was then, and this is now." Snow Girl replied softly with a bleak tone, "To put it simply, it's just a cliché story about a prince raping a common girl, and a knight-errant from the rivers and lakes coming to save people."
"Yes, it's a cliché!" Honglian clasped her little hands on her chest and sneered repeatedly, "But it's very effective, isn't it? A common girl will always fall in love with the knight who saves her... no matter whether the other person has a family or not.
”
The snow girl was stunned for a moment, her eyes slightly wandering, as if she was distracted and thinking about other things.
After being lost for a while, the snow girl replied calmly in Guren's eyes full of inquiry and questioning, "It has nothing to do with that."
In one sentence, it can be said that it has no beginning and no end, and Honglian was confused after hearing it.
What does ‘that’ mean?
What has nothing to do with ‘that’?
In what way are the two unrelated?
"What do you mean?"
The snow girl did not respond to her, but instead said, "Your Highness has seen it, can you... stop it?"
Guren's face became increasingly unkind, and she stared at the snow girl and reminded her word by word, "You haven't answered my question yet!"
The snow girl lowered her eyes and stood quietly, not replying at all, as if she was just waiting for Guren to give up - they are still in an illusion.
Although the snow girl broke free from the memory illusion that Guren built for her, there is still a layer of illusion of the fire charm itself.
The two of them are communicating in the illusion now, which can be regarded as a heart-to-heart in a certain sense.
Seeing Yuki-onna being stubborn and refusing to talk to her, Honglian got into a temper and didn't bother to work with this foreign worker.
Your Royal Highness, Princess Honglian, always asks for nothing from others, so you don’t want to say that you are pulling her down!
"Hmph! You can break free from the previous illusion. It must not be difficult to leave here. I will not accompany you anymore!" Hong Lian snorted a little childishly, and then slowly disappeared.
The snow girl looked back and forth at the stagnant, silent world she was in, and there was no panic that a person was abandoned here.
She calmly reached out to touch the emerald green jade flute hanging at her waist, pinched it with both hands, and held it in front of her chest. She closed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, then opened her lips slightly, and breath slowly poured into the jade flute.
in.
In the cold silence, the soothing and melodious melody resounded, dispelling all the dullness.
This is exactly the tune she played when she was at Jinghu Medical Village last time. It is also one of the few tunes she can play that is peaceful and leisurely, and is soothing to listen to.
The reason why there aren't many is not that Yuki-onna has few skills, it's just that most of the time she can't play this kind of music with sincerity.
As a master of music, Yuki-onna will naturally not complain about composing new words. If she can't play it, she won't play it, and will play her sad music honestly.
Then the imageless and formless music melody filled this cold and silent world, and the originally stagnant illusion began to gradually collapse, like a mirror, a flower in the water, and the moon was shattered.
The snow girl's eyes suddenly turned black... to be precise, all five senses were lost. After just a moment, the scene of the central hall of the machine city appeared in her eyes again, as well as the person Guren.
This sudden change in perspective made the snow girl feel dizzy, and she couldn't help but stumble back half a step.
And this half-step showed everyone present that she was fine and had successfully broken free from the fire charm.
Although Guren knew in her heart that the chance of the remaining illusion trapping Yuki-onna was low, seeing that she was fine almost instantly, she still curled her lips in displeasure and simply threw away the rope in her hand:
"Forget it, it's boring!"
"I'm tired of this princess, so I won't play anymore today!"
After saying that, Honglian turned around and left directly.
For her, today's fun-seeking behavior can be described by various idioms such as failure, failure, failure, etc. In short, it means failure.
Since she failed and there seemed to be no chance of another round, she would naturally not stay here any longer.
Why stay?
Are you watching Wei Zhuang and the others fight?
However, Her Royal Highness the Princess has always had little interest in simple shows of bravery... It would be more or less the same if there was some hint of a fateful duel.
However, when Guren left the stage, some small changes interrupted her.
A Qin soldier, who seemed to have an official title, stumbled into the central hall. After spotting Wei Zhuang's position, he immediately knelt on the ground - not only to salute, but also because he was a little weak and could not stand still.
.
"Big... big... big... man, Sir, something is wrong, Sword... Sword Master, ah, no, I want to offend Gai Nie, Gai Nie is here to kill me!"
"Almost all the soldiers under the general's command were killed or injured!"
Most of these Qin soldiers know very little about Jianghu, but they are very familiar with the sword master Gai Nie who was once a prominent figure in the empire.
Even if the other party has now become a wanted criminal in the empire, they will still subconsciously call him the name of Sword Master.
Regarding the sudden news about Ge Nie, everyone in the hall felt... a rare consensus.
They are all happy!
Oh, it’s a bit lax, this poor young general of the Qin Army is not very happy.
However, Wei Zhuang, Zhan Ri, Chen He, Gao Jianli... and everyone else, including Master Ban who was hiding in Mo He's secret room, were all shaken up and smiled more or less.
