She caught this unlucky guy on the moss-covered forehead of the Bacchus statue. He was covered in dirty skin and mottled green and gray.
At this moment, Yu Mei held it in his hand, as if looking at a rare treasure, looking back and forth over and over again.
for a long time.
"Illusion?"
"Of course there are illusions, but does Master Yu really know which ones are real and which ones are illusions?"
Li Chang'an motioned Yu Mei to sit down and speak slowly, but Yu Mei just threw the toad that was about to urinate into the water with a "plop", his waist straight, a pair of handsome eyebrows raised, and his eyes stared without blinking.
Taoist priest.
Li Changan sat down cross-legged by himself, took off his sideburns, hair cover, earrings and other disguised items to reveal his true appearance, but his eyebrows only tightened up - it seemed that the illusion was exactly what the God of Dionysus said.
Now that she has gone through another reincarnation, she no longer remembers herself.
Li Changan thought for a moment and asked:
"Jushi Yu is not a native of Xiaoshui?"
"I'm here on command."
"how long?"
"It's been seventeen days."
Li Changan nodded, these were all consistent with what Dionysus said.
Yu Mei was set up as a spy from the Zhenfu Division on a mission. The first day she arrived in Xiaoshui was the beginning of a reincarnation in the fantasy world.
Li Changan spoke again, but this time he poured out all the words he had prepared.
"Xiaoshui is located in the mountains. It has a large population but a small area, and limited real estate. It also manages grain-consuming industries such as wine making. It can be said that the food supply depends entirely on the river. If there are no grain ships, the residents will be hungry.
"If there is no grain ship for a month, the poor and humble people are in danger of starving to death. It has been seventeen days since the layman arrived at Xiaoshui. Is there half a grain ship docking at the suburban pier?"
"In a few days, it will be the Dionysus Festival again, and merchants, actors, and tourists in the city will gather. It is said that this is the busiest time of the year, but why are there no sails on the river outside the city?"
…
To be honest, every bit of the entire Xiaoshui fantasyland, every plant and tree is artificially fabricated, and there are inevitably some oversights. What's more, the creator is a willful person. After countless reincarnations,
Therefore, the strangeness is not noticed by the monsters, but it is just like a person who is in a dream without knowing it is a dream, and is deceived by illusions.
now.
Li Changan opened all the loopholes in the illusion bit by bit, and Yu Mei's expression became gloomier bit by bit.
even.
He interrupted the Taoist priest with an anxious tone.
"what do you want to say in the end?!"
Li Changan raised his face, fixed his eyes on Yu Mei's eyes, and asked;
"Is it true that Master Yu didn't realize at all that the Xiaoshui you saw was fake?"
…………
From the moment he decided to recruit Yu Mei into his gang, Li Changan had no intention of deceiving or concealing anything.
then.
He frankly told the other party the origin, corruption, and collapse of the illusion.
"What you said is just speculation without any concrete evidence."
Yu Mei's voice was still cold, but there was unconcealable panic in his eyes.
It was clear that he believed it deep down in his heart, but it was just too hasty to accept it.
Li Changan was a little surprised.
After all, it is easy to believe that "Xiao Shui is fake"; it is difficult to believe that "I am not myself, or even not a human being".
Think about it.
On the one hand, she escaped from the illusion, and on the other hand, she was deceived by the Taoist priest. Her subconscious or monster instinct began to affect her belief.
Therefore, now Yu Mei, from suspicion to conviction, only needs someone to push her again, and needs more direct evidence than words.
then.
Dionysus emerges from the stone statue.
His existence was mentioned many times in Li Changan's story, and Yu Mei was very confused at this time, but he didn't have much reaction.
"You are an old locust tree in the city, a living being rooted in the land. Your life is carried by the land, and so is your memory."
The god of wine bowed his head and picked up a small wine glass woven with grass leaves.
"Drink this wine and you will regain the memory of each reincarnation in the illusion."
Yu Mei took the wine glass and stared at the amber liquid inside.
Without asking any further questions, I knew that she was already caught in a battle between heaven and man.
for a long time.
She suddenly put down her wine glass and drew her sword and pointed it at Li Changan.
The doubts in his brows were swept away, and he had obviously made up his mind.
she says:
"Beat me."
…
After a while.
The eyebrows with dark circles under his eyes drank the wine.
Her eyes were closed tightly.
His expression was sometimes relaxed, sometimes nervous, sometimes angry, and sometimes happy, but in the end, it all turned into a daze. He opened his eyes and stared at the Taoist priest for a while.
"Why did you come back?"
Before Li Changan could reply, the dazed look on Yu Mei's face disappeared, and he returned to his usual cold and sharp look. Finally, he was willing to sit down and asked the Taoist priest:
"Since you took so much trouble to bring me here, you must have a plan in mind."
Li Changan looked at the Dionysus who also had a questioning look on his face and nodded.
"I can't talk about a plan, but I do have an idea that I can take a chance on."
He asked Yu Mei first.
"What does Master Yu think of the illusion of Xiaoshui?"
Yu Mei said coldly:
"It's just a rotten ship loaded with animal sacrifices. When the real person dies, it should sink with it."
very good.
At least the goal is agreed upon.
Li Changan nodded and continued:
"The fantasy land of Xiaoshui has now been occupied by the phantom butterfly dove. It has many minions. In the illusion, it has turned from darkness to light and has become a climate. If we want to destroy the illusion, they are the biggest obstacle. But I personally think
, the biggest threat is not them, but the monsters who are confused by the illusion and play various roles in a confused way."
"If the illusion continues, they will become the nourishment for the phantom butterflies to build a demon kingdom; if the illusion is shattered, they will escape from the cage and harm the common people."
"No matter what the outcome is, you two must not want to see it."
The God of Dionysus stroked his beard and nodded, frowning quietly as he waited for the next words.
Li Changan asked Yu Mei again.
"Master Yu is often in the fantasy world, so he should be able to tell that the situation in the fantasy world is not optimistic."
Yu Mei replied:
"It is on the verge of collapse. Even if there are phantom butterflies to maintain it, it will only last ten days."
"So the time left for us is extremely limited, but there are tens of thousands of monsters in the illusion. Can we kill them all with just a few of us?"
Of course not!
Not to mention tens of thousands of monsters, even tens of thousands of pigs cannot be killed in a short time.
"So the only way."
Li Changan drew a circle on the ground.
"Just let them kill each other when they gather together."
After saying this, Yu Mei and Dionysus became even more confused.
It's easy to say "gather together". In the fantasy world, there will be a Bacchus Festival in a few days. At that time, almost everyone in the city... No! The monsters will gather in the Bacchus Temple.
But how to achieve "cannibalism"?
Li Changan had no intention of selling out.
He spit out three words.
"Tai Sui demon."
…
Yu's eyebrows showed a look of surprise.
The god of wine had already stood up, slapping his thighs.
"Yes! Yes!"
"In the past few decades, I have only been living in confusion. The solution is right in front of me. How could I not think of it?!"
He was dancing with excitement.
"The Tai Sui demon's flesh and blood can only arouse hunger in people's bellies, and which demon in the fantasy world has been hungry for dozens or hundreds of years? In the fantasy world, there will be a Dionysian festival in a few days, and almost all the monsters will gather. At that time,
As usual, the chief drinker should be selected to share the blessings with all the 'people' attending the meeting."
"As long as Tai Sui's flesh and blood is mixed into Zhong Kui's wine in advance, the monsters in the city will be hungry and make them eat each other. In this way, the illusion can be destroyed and tens of thousands of monsters can be killed without any effort."
Dionysus couldn't help himself.
Yu Mei suddenly poured cold water on her.
"Just by letting them kill each other, I'm afraid some fish will slip through the net."
Li Changan also thought of this.
"So, before the illusion completely collapses, we have to enter the illusion again and kill as many remaining monsters as possible."
Yu Mei still shook his head.
"It's easy to talk about ordinary monsters, but don't forget, there are a few big monsters in the illusion. If they are allowed to devour other monsters and regain their strength, we will be the ones to be dealt with."
"Big monster?" Li Changan was a little surprised, "Huandie didn't attack them?"
"Heh." Yu Mei said disdainfully, "The butterfly's monster insect can't control the big monster."
"What does Master Yu plan to do?"
"Simple."
Yu Meiping's plain words were dripping with blood.
