Chapter 74: Strange Fantasy
Seeing the collapsed building, Li Yi couldn't help but recall the scene when he first followed Lao Ya and his gang into the abandoned city area.
At that time, there was also a building similar to this one.
No wonder these buildings are uninhabited, it turns out they are really dangerous. Even Captain Zhang Lei of the Investigation Bureau is missing. You know, he is a master with spiritual perception and a pillar of Tianchang City.
The group did not go deeper into the building, but stopped just before entering the door.
Because there was a newly set up cordon not far in front of them.
"You can't go any further. Once you cross the cordon, the signal will disappear. One of my teammates just crossed the cordon less than ten meters away, and he turned around and disappeared. It was very strange."
Liu Yue spoke immediately, stopping others from moving forward.
"What a joke! The person disappeared at a distance of less than ten meters?" Wang Jian opened his eyes wide, feeling unbelievable.
Liu Yue said, "How can I lie to you? I have a vague guess that there is some special existence in this building that can interfere with people's brains and make people hallucinate. That's why people who go in disappear one by one, because they are all confused. Everything they see and encounter is fake. Therefore, this building has trapped everyone."
"Although this possibility exists, it is not very likely. You have to know that the captain has opened his spiritual sense and it is almost impossible for him to be deceived."
Wang Jian then frowned again, thinking that Liu Yue's guess was not very accurate.
Liu Yue sighed and said, "What you said makes sense. It's understandable that we, the practitioners who have opened the spiritual medium, were deceived, but it's unreasonable for the captain to be deceived. But then again, if there is something in there that can even deceive the captain, then it's almost impossible to rescue him."
"Have you ever tried to use the method of sensing energy fields to sense the problems in this building?" Li Yi suddenly said at this time.
Ok?
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Li Yi.
"What kind of method is this?" Wang Jian was stunned.
But Liu Yue's eyes lit up immediately, and he said hurriedly: "Wait, maybe we can give it a try. I know what Li Yi means. If there is really something wrong with this building, then the energy here must be very special. Maybe we can really find something. However, if you want to sense the energy around you, you need to enter a state of concentration. Most people won't do this because it's too dangerous here."
"You don't have to worry if there is someone to help take care of it." Li Yi said.
"That's right, let me try."
Liu Yue was also a man of swift and decisive actions. He thought this was a solution, so he immediately took a few steps forward and sat down at the spot closest to the cordon. Then he closed his eyes and actually began to meditate.
"It's okay to let him try. We'll just watch from the side." Wang Jian did not object and felt that they should give it a bold try.
Li Yi didn't say anything at this moment, not wanting to disturb Liu Yue's meditation process. He just observed his surroundings and waited for the results to appear.
As time goes by.
soon.
Liu Yue entered a state of meditation.
But at this moment, a breeze suddenly blew into the building.
At first, no one took it seriously and thought it was a normal phenomenon. But soon, Li Yi found something wrong. Not only was the wind around him getting stronger and stronger, but his vision also became blurred, as if he was blinded by something.
"No, there's a problem, let's get out of here." He reacted and shouted immediately, while his body quickly retreated.
However, something strange happened.
Wang Jian and Chen Hao next to them didn't move at all, standing there motionless like stiff corpses, while Liu Yue still maintained a meditation posture.
No one responded to Li Yi.
"Wang Jian?" Li Yi shouted again.
But Wang Jian still did not move, and something even more incredible happened. The evacuation route behind him disappeared, and was replaced by a darkness with no end in sight. This made Li Yi, who had originally planned to evacuate, stop suddenly.
"How could this happen? Is it that there is nothing wrong with them, but something wrong with me?" Li Yi's face was changing at this moment, he couldn't understand this situation.
He was apparently fine just now, and he was standing outside the cordon.
How come everything goes wrong when a gust of wind blows?
"Wang Jian, Chen Hao, can you hear me? Something is wrong here." Li Yi immediately walked to the two of them, stretched out his hand and patted them, trying to wake them up.
But the moment he stretched out his hand, he was startled.
The flesh and blood on the back of his hand disappeared strangely, as if a large piece of it had rotted away, revealing the white bones. And not only him, but also Wang Jian and Chen Hao next to him, the flesh and blood on their faces had partially disappeared, also revealing the white skull, which looked extremely creepy.
As time passed, more and more flesh and blood disappeared. If this continued, all the flesh and blood on the body would probably disappear, leaving only a skeleton.
And the situation seems irreversible.
At this moment, Li Yi was a little panicked.
Because the scene before him was even more bizarre than when he first entered the ghost street.
"Am I going to die here this time?"
Li Yi felt an inexplicable fear in his heart. He saw that the flesh and blood on one of his palms had completely disappeared, leaving only bones.
But he felt no pain, as if everything was so natural.
However, Li Yi had a feeling that if all the flesh and blood on his body disappeared, he might really die here. "Maybe everything is an illusion?" This thought popped up in Li Yi's mind when he was panicking.
It would be fine if this was an illusion, but what if it wasn't?
Watching the flesh and blood on his body disappear bit by bit, the fear of death became stronger and stronger. He didn't know what to do at this moment.
"There is great terror between life and death. Congratulations, you have entered the illusion."
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Li Yi's ears. The voice was cold and arrogant, revealing a bit of disgust, and seemed reluctant to speak.
"Who? Who is talking? Who are you?" Li Yi was startled and shouted loudly.
Looking around, there was no one else around except Wang Jian, Chen Hao and Liu Yue.
"You born evil prisoner, don't be so loud. Loud voices cannot cover up the fear in your heart." The voice continued.
Li Yi calmed down a bit at this moment, and then reacted: "Born evil? Why does this sound familiar? Wait, is it your resentment in the half of the knife coin? I already knew that the burial objects were not clean. Last time, I almost died at the hands of a despicable person like you."
"Humph, if it weren't for your family."
Before he finished speaking, the voice suddenly stopped, as if touching on some taboo, and then immediately changed the subject: "Boy, do you want to live?"
"Do you want to help me? You have always wanted to kill me before." Li Yi said suspiciously.
The voice said, "There are too many evil prisoners. I can't survive for long in this state and I can't kill many of them. You are born with a strong devilish nature and will definitely become a devil in the future. As long as you are alive, you can help me kill more prisoners. It would be a pity if you died now. Where can I find someone as evil as you?"
"."
Is it appropriate to say this?
What kind of evil is it that allows one to live so that he can kill more people?
Listen, is this still human language?
"Okay, time is running out. If you can't find a way before the flesh and blood on your body completely disappears, you will stay in this illusion forever and turn into a pile of bones. Don't worry, I won't kill you this time. I want to see you become a demon with my own eyes." The voice snorted coldly.
Li Yi's expression changed constantly, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll trust you this time. How are you going to help me?"
"We must first find the source of the illusion. Don't stay here. The people around you can't wake up. They are too weak and lack spiritual power. They don't even have the qualifications to enter the illusion. They can only stand here and wait to die. If you are not protected by some terrible curse, you will die too." said the voice.
Li Yi's heart trembled.
The resentment on this knife coin revealed a lot of information in just a few words, and there was some kind of terrible curse on me?
When did this happen? How come I don’t know about it?
"What are you still standing there for? Do you want to wait until all the blood and flesh on your body disappears before taking action? If you act fast enough, maybe you can still save your teammates." The voice urged.
Li Yi's body trembled. He didn't dare to waste any more time. He took action immediately and rushed forward.
The appearance of the building has not changed and it still has the original layout.
"Left." The figure continued to point the way.
Li Yi immediately turned left and continued walking.
But before he took two steps, his face suddenly changed, because he saw a human-shaped skeleton wearing clothes standing there motionless. There was no blood or flesh on the skeleton, it was clean.
"Hmph, just an unlucky guy who died here. No need to pay attention to him, just keep moving forward." The voice said with some disdain.
Li Yi withdrew his gaze and quickened his pace.
"Go upstairs." The voice pointed the way.
Li Yi continued to move around in the building as the voice reminded him, and his movements became faster and faster as more and more flesh and blood disappeared from his body. Now he could see the pale bones of his thighs. If he didn't make some changes, he would definitely be doomed.
He made his way upstairs.
On the steps he saw another skeleton.
The clothes on the skeleton seemed familiar. It should be the investigator who disappeared in this building. Although he could move in the illusion, this was where he ended.
"I don't want this." He felt inexplicably frightened and quickened his pace.
"Stop, turn left, and then go forward, you should be able to see the source." The voice reminded again.
Li Yi stopped suddenly, and then he saw clearly.
This is the ninth floor of the building.
After entering this floor, he immediately saw that there were quite a few people here, but they were all incomplete and looked like skeletons, but there was still some flesh and blood on their bodies and they had not completely turned into bones.
These skeletons seemed to be alive. As soon as Li Yi appeared, they all turned their heads to look at him.
The empty eye sockets without eyes seemed to be able to see Li Yi's appearance clearly.
"Are they the investigators who entered here before?"
Li Yi walked and observed, and he made vague guesses in his mind through the clothes of these skeletons.
