Chapter 310 [Man in the Game] (1)
Zhang Taixu is also the person in the game. Who is the layouter? Prince Rui wanted to get the secret of immortality from Zhang Taixu back then and forced Zhang Taixu to return to China, but he did not expect to be harmed by his confidants. Prince Rui wanted to make a plan, but in the end he was deeply involved.
Mu Sanshou, Ren Zhongchang, and Liu Tongsi all wanted to be planners, but in the end they all died in the game. Everyone has ambitions, and ambitions themselves become their bond, bothering them and making them unable to get rid of their own sad fate.
Luo Lie thought of the High Priest Haori and the Lion King. They were both outstanding heroes and wanted to go against the will of heaven and change their fate, but in the end they still fell under their ambitions.
If Zhang Taixu had not trapped Princess Longyu, who would have restricted her from leaving? In fact, Luo Lie had been full of doubts about Princess Longyu's motives from the beginning. With her former abilities, few people could trap her. Since she could control Simon and drive him to Huangpu from North America to find herself, it proves that the damage she suffered in the Battle of Tianmiao was not serious, and was even much lighter than herself.
Luo Lie returned to the place where he first entered the Jiuyou White Bone Tower. Looking around, everything was not different from when he entered just now. Princess Longyu was still missing. He remembered what Zhang Taixu said when he was leaving, and he started again, as if he was hinting at himself.
Luo Lie breathed secretly, then passed the liquid barrier that sealed the entrance of the Bone Tower again, and came outside without encountering any obstacles.
When Luo Lie stepped into the White Bone Tower again, he realized the true meaning of Zhang Taixu's return. The scenery in front of him was completely different. He entered an illusory world with light and shadows floating around him. The blue light and shadow flowed like waves, making people mistakenly think that they had entered the water. Not far below his feet were steps, made of crystal clear crystals, unlike before, the steps extended downwards.
Luo Lie walked slowly downwards, gathered his mind, spread his consciousness around him, intending to sense the existence of Princess Longyu. However, he stopped soon because he saw a little boy standing not far away, wearing gray clothes and his back was facing him, standing about ten meters ahead of him.
Luo Lie was stunned. The first thing he thought was his illusion. He blinked his eyes and pinched his palms quietly. It was impossible for a little boy to appear alone in such places. Luo Lie thought of the dwarf before, but seeing the boy's figure actually gave birth to a familiar feeling. Has he seen him before?
Luo Lie calmed down for a moment and said, "Little brother..."
The boy slowly turned around when he heard his voice. Luo Lie saw his face clearly and was stunned. The boy was just like his childhood. There would be no such coincidence in this world? Luo Lie said: "Who are you...?"
The boy looked at him expressionlessly: "I am you!"
Luo Lie forcibly suppressed his inner shock. He reminded himself that everything in front of him was an illusion. Someone should have interfered with his consciousness and entered his brain without his awareness. If this situation continues, there will be more trouble. Luo Lie's eyes avoided the little boy, hoping that the fantasy would disappear from his world as soon as possible.
The little boy said, "Why don't you dare to look at me? Do you hate yourself or be afraid of yourself?"
Luo Lie bit his lip hard, hoping that the pain would help him return to reality as soon as possible.
The little boy said, "I don't want to go to North America, I miss my mother..."
Luo Lie felt sad inside. This was exactly what he thought back then. His grandfather sent him to the Chinese and Western Academy for his future and sent him to study in the United States, but he never considered his feelings. It was actually a heavy blow to his soul at that time.
Luo Lie said: "Everything is over!" This sentence is more like what he said to himself.
Even if the person standing in front of me is really my childhood self, time has passed and will never look back, and I will never go back to my youth.
The little boy looked at Luo Lie and said, "I don't want to be what I am now."
Luo Lie no longer had the shock he had just now. How could a person be afraid of his past self? He smiled and said, "It seems that I have disappointed you."
The little boy shook his head: "It's not disappointment, but not wanting. Do you understand? When I grow up, I want to become a teacher, like a mother."
Luo Lie nodded. No one knew his childhood ideals better than himself. His mother's position in his heart was so noble. He admired everything about his mother. Even his ideals were influenced by his mother. He wanted to become a teacher, teach and educate people, and do literature. However, his mother's passing changed his life from then on. Luo Lie looked at his past self. He remembered everything about his past self, but his past self was not satisfied with his present self.
The little boy said, "I should have escaped at that time, go find Yingzi and Grandpa Hong."
Luo Lie thought about escaping, but he was too young back then, and the world was so big and the sea of people were vast. He asked him to find his old friends. Even if he found him, Grandpa Hong was afraid that he would not be able to take care of his two young children at that time.
The little boy said, "I didn't expect to grow so tall." He looked up at Luo Lie, actually looking at himself.
Luo Lie whispered: "People will always grow up and will change in the process of growing up. They will become no longer simple, and will even become a strange self." He was saying to himself, because he thought he would not understand the past self.
The little boy nodded and realized something, he said again: "Why did grandpa take me to North America?"
This problem plagued Luo Lie from his youth. He vaguely felt that his grandfather sent him away to avoid some danger. Later, his grandfather committed suicide due to the destruction of the Qing court, which also made him see another possibility. Perhaps his grandfather could learn skills in his life abroad in front of his hope that he could revitalize China. His grandfather, who has always cherished words and kept silent, never revealed his purpose, and had already left the world forever with his secrets.
Luo Lie said: "He wants me to learn to be independent and self-reliant!"
The little boy pursed his lips: "I don't want to grow up, I miss my mother."
Luo Lie nodded and stretched out his hand to touch the top of his head when he was a child. When his palm touched the top of the boy's head, the boy's image disappeared in front of him like quicksand in the wind.
The cry of a baby came from his ears, and Luo Lie's heart was beating violently due to the sudden cry. He reminded himself that everything was an illusion, and he must keep his original heart and must not be disturbed by these consecutive illusions.
However, when Luo Lie saw the scene ahead clearly, his heart that had just calmed down was turbulent again.
A young woman stood in front of her holding a crying baby. Although she was just a back, Luo Lie had already recognized from the familiar back that she was her mother. Although she knew that everything was an illusion, Luo Lie could not suppress her excitement in her heart.
The baby in the mother's arms must be her childhood self.
The mother gently patted the baby in her arms, her voice full of reluctance and sadness: "You... shouldn't have come to this world..." An unexpected scene happened. The mother stretched out her hand and suddenly covered the baby's mouth. The baby's crying stopped abruptly. Luo Lie almost exclaimed, but he immediately thought that the mother would not have the heart to take action, otherwise how could he grow up?
Sure enough, the mother quickly put down her hand, hugged the baby tightly and cried loudly: "I can't do it...I can't do it..."
Luo Lie was filled with tears in his eyes. He did not feel resentment because of his mother's temporary murderous thoughts. He could understand his mother's complex and contradictory psychology at that time. He should not belong to this era. His birth may change the trajectory of the development of the entire era.
The mother held the baby and whispered: "You must leave, you don't belong to this era..." She slowly turned her head, her pretty face was dissatisfied with tears, and her sad eyes stared at Luo Lie, as if she had always seen his heart: "Go away! Get out of here!" She suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream.
As the screams were screaming, her figures and the baby shattered like pieces of paper, and like millions of butterflies scattered in the air, they immediately turned into spots of light and disappeared in the void.
Luo Lie was deeply shocked by what he saw in front of him, and his emotions could not calm down for a long time.
He knew that everything he had experienced and seen was an illusion, a portrayal of deep memories in his mind, but he could not explain why this phenomenon occurred. Luo Lie had the feeling that he could not control his consciousness for the first time, as if someone had quietly opened the floodgates of his memory. All the sadness and pain in his past memory, and all the things he did not want to mention in front of others were presented to him.
In addition to himself, only one person has read these memories. Princess Longyu. Only in the Tian Temple did Princess Longyu enter his brain in order to fight against the lion king. If there is someone in this world who knows his secret, then this person is Princess Longyu.
With Princess Longyu's ever-changing temperament, it is not ruled out that she is making trouble in secret. Luo Lie said aloud: "Longyu, I know it's you!"
His voice echoed in the empty underground palace. After a long time, no one responded. Luo Lie couldn't help but frown. This woman was full of tricks and hid here but didn't know what kind of conspiracy was brewing.
A barrier shaped like a water curtain appeared in front of him. Luo Lie first carefully tested it with his hands. He had previously crossed two similar barriers one after another. This barrier seemed like liquid, but in fact, the texture of the touch was waterless, and it was more like a phantom like light waves. Except for the barrier encountered when leaving the pool that destroyed their Tianluo armor and almost pulled away their souls, these barriers were not special.
