Chapter 10. I Believe(1/2)
After packing up the energy stones, the two of them, led by Luo Yi, quickly shuttled through the dark streets and alleys. The deeper they went into the center, the more frightened they became. They saw dilapidated buildings, traces of blood, debris and ashes everywhere, as if
There are countless things entangled in the darkness.
During this process, Luo Yi reminded the two of them from time to time to stay calm, pay attention to breathing, and don't let the fear emanating from the darkness erode their sanity.
Along the way, there was no troll, the biggest threat, and Luo Yi acted as a protector, which calmed their emotions. Five minutes later, the three of them successfully arrived at the location of the church.
The church that once symbolized holiness has now become a ghostly place. Large black ruins and broken statues are scattered on the ground. Wild vines are entangled along the broken door lintels and window lattice, and the ground is overgrown with weeds.
, rubble was scattered all over, the cold wind blew by, and the spider webs between the ruined walls swayed in the wind, like twisted ghost faces.
"Just put the energy stone at the door."
Luo Yi came to the entrance of the church, turned around to face the two of them, and said, "Also, when you enter inside later, no matter what you see, you just need to stay calm and you will be able to pass."
At this time, Xia Meilin's pale face turned abnormally pale. Luo Yi could see that she was scared, but she was still controlling her emotions and breathing. Xu Shengli on the other side was a psychic.
, except that his face was a little stiff, he didn’t have much emotion, so he obviously had some mental preparation.
"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. The enemy will only be a troll in the end. The situation inside the church is just that after being eroded by evil spirits, there will be some weird illusions. As long as you continue to strengthen the psychological defense, it will naturally be solved."
Luo Yi's eyes became cold, containing a ruthless warning: "If you are too afraid, your reason will continue to be disconnected. Once you are completely trapped in the illusion, I cannot save you. Even in order not to attract trolls, I will
Kill the crazy people directly. So, do you understand?"
"Um."
Xu Shengli responded calmly, then looked at Xia Meilin with a concerned look on his face and said, "I will protect her. If there is a situation, I will take her out as soon as possible."
"..."
Xia Meilin shuddered, her original fear subsided a lot, and she actually felt nauseated. She forced a smile and said, "No, I should be fine."
"Walk."
Seeing that her mood had recovered a lot, Luo Yi took the lead and stepped into the deep and dark church.
The two of them quickly followed.
Boundless silence and darkness invaded.
At this moment, Xia Meilin and Xu Shengli felt as if they had stepped into an alien space, as if they were separated from the outside. They could not hear any sounds, and everything they saw were distorted and blurred images, and their field of vision kept shrinking.
Soon I found that the people around me had disappeared, and I was the only one standing alone on the ground, as if I had lost my way.
"The two of them have never become players, so it is really not appropriate for them to come to a ghostly place like the church."
Luo Yi's will was very firm, and he broke away from the erosion of the illusion in less than a second, regained his vision, turned around and looked at the two people behind him, and found that Xia Meilin and Xu Shengli stood on the ground with dull expressions as if their souls had been taken away.
, motionless.
Even if the two of them are mentally prepared, they cannot truly be immune to all negative emotions, and they have never experienced the erosion of this type of illusion. They can't find a way to fight against it for a while, and the negative emotions are constantly amplified, making it difficult to break free.
If this continues, illusions will erode their inner world, and various dark sides will follow one after another, showing what they fear most in their hearts until their sanity collapses.
"Although this woman is a little moody from time to time, she is generally a sensible person, and her psychological quality and comprehension ability are both good, and she has trust in me. If she is really not good, I can save her. After all, she is still
It’s valuable.”
Luo Yi came to Xia Meilin, put two fingers on her wrist, and paid attention to the frequency of her pulse.
Her pulse is currently beating about twice as fast as a normal person, and there is obviously still room. If it is too severe, it proves that her spirit has reached its limit, and then she can be awakened.
Luo Yi can save people. What she said just now only strengthens her psychological construction and cannot make her psychologically dependent. Only by relying on her own will and overcoming fear can she truly grow.
As long as she has experienced the erosion of the illusion this time, she will have some resistance, which is equivalent to strengthening her mental toughness. She will have experience next time she comes here. Moreover, Luo Yi also wants to see if she has other potential.
As for Xu Shengli, Luo Yi was too lazy to care about his life or death.
"Huh?"
Less than five minutes later, Luo Yi raised his eyebrows and found that Xia Meilin's pulse was beating and was calming down. Her originally dull expression became painful, as if she was struggling. Suddenly she saw her eyes closed, and two lines of tears streaked across her face.
A pale face.
After a while, she opened her eyes again, her eyes clear and clear, but she could not hide her sad look.
"This woman has a strong heart."
Luo Yi didn't expect that she could break free on her own and regain consciousness faster than Xu Shengli next to her.
"Thank you."
With a smile on her face, Xia Meilin gently wiped away her tears and said softly and charmingly: "I just felt that you were protecting me."
The moment she opened her eyes, Luo Yi had already released her wrist and kept some distance away to avoid being misunderstood.
"illusion."
Luo Yi said expressionlessly.
"Yeah?"
Xia Meilin's beautiful eyes were sparkling, her red lips were delicate, she slightly raised her face playfully, and she shook her white wrist as white as snow intentionally or unintentionally.
"..."
Luo Yi was as indifferent as ever, and his heart was made of steel. He faced her teasing without any trouble.
"It turns out that as long as you face your own heart, the illusion will no longer be scary."
Seeing that he made no move, Xia Meilin really thought it was an illusion, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so she had to restore her correct attitude and return to the topic.
"Um."
Luo Yi responded calmly.
"Oh no...will he be okay?"
Xia Meilin felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more strange. When she looked at Luo Yi in particular, her heartbeat sped up inexplicably. She quickly turned her gaze and looked at Xu Shengli next to her. Her heartbeat suddenly returned to normal.
"Wait for him for another minute. If he can't break free for another minute, then don't worry about him."
Luo Yi said.
"Can't you save him?"
"I told you, I can't save you."
"real?"
"..."
Luo Yi simply ignored this woman's temptation.
In less than a minute, a strong hot wind surged out of Xu Shengli's body, as if something was burning inside his body. Luo Yi and Xia Meilin, who were standing aside, could clearly feel the heat spreading out.
"call--"
Suddenly, Xu Shengli sweated profusely and vomited out a ball of boiling steam. He knelt on the ground, quickly took out a bottle of something from his uniform, and drank it in big gulps.
"Calm down your psychic powers or the trolls will sense it."
Luo Yi was not at all curious about his situation. After giving a reminder, he turned around and continued deeper into the church, "Follow him if you can. If you can't, just find a place to hide. I don't have time to waste time with you."
"Teacher Xu, can you do it?"
Although Xia Meilin didn't like this greasy and arrogant guy, she still asked out of concern for her colleagues.
"……OK."
Xu Shengli forced a smile. Faced with the goddess he had been pursuing, he had to do it no matter what. In order to break free just now, he had to consume the spiritual energy in his body. Now he drank the concentrated nutrient solution and barely regained a little strength.
I thought I was pretending to be weak, hoping that the goddess could give me a hand to strengthen the intimacy between the two. But the next second, I heard the goddess say "Oh", and she immediately rushed to the mysterious young man's side with her long legs, and there was a sudden feeling.
It feels like a dog.
Xu Shengli followed him with a look of discomfort and weakness.
…
As we go deeper into the church, the visions become more and more bizarre.
Xia Meilin found her own way to resist through inner strength, and became more and more skillful in breaking free.
On the other hand, Xu Shengli had been resisting by taking medicine. As he resisted along the way, both he and Xia Meilin became mentally resistant, and it became easier to break free each time.
"How long until we arrive? Are you trying to harm us?"
At this time, Xu Shengli no longer looked as handsome as before, and turned into a pale face with kidney deficiency. He was sweating non-stop. It was obvious that his spiritual energy consumption was too great. Even if he swallowed nutrient solution, he could not keep up with the consumption, especially
It was in this strange copy that there was no spiritual energy to absorb, which caused him to become weaker and weaker.
He could hardly bear it anymore and had to ask.
"arrive."
Luo Yi opened a secret door, and a deep staircase leading to the ground appeared.
"Don't you want to know about this hidden mission?"
Luo Yi turned around, a pair of cold eyes flashed across the faces of the two of them, "Under the building is where the mission will be received. Which of you will go?"
"You're not going?"
