06. Spiritual roots nurture and flow out, and xinxing cultivates Daosheng
He retreated in panic, and the diary and water glass fell together.
The water glass fell to the floor and exploded.
That's her favorite cup.
Transparent Bridge stared blankly at the yellowed diary held down by the debris.
That scene just now... was it my hallucination?
Transparent Bridge was in a mess. In the game, this was just a frightening trick.
But is it really in the game now?
[You were startled by the sudden change. Hesitation and uneasiness occupied your heart. But in the end, you decided to pick it up. Maybe it was just a dazzle before. 】
It’s definitely not an illusion!
Transparent Bridge was trembling inwardly, whispering that since he said so, it couldn't be an illusion.
She backed away from the diary again. Vision contacted the police without hesitation.
"This is the Mars Chris Plains District Federal Police Station. How can I help you?"
"I--"
[Yoshihara Ruri, you don’t have to be like this. I just want to help you and help you understand the real world.]
The whispering voice used its own name for the first time and called out the name of Transparent Bridge.
【You may not believe me, but I have no reason to harm you, right?】
"Hello, do you need help?"
The operator's message came through the horizon.
"Who are you, am I in a game or in reality?" Transparent Qiao glanced at the bedroom in vain.
[I am here to help you. There is no difference whether it is a game or reality. Either way is just a paragraph in life.]
"What do you mean...?" Transparent Bridge frowned, feeling that there was another meaning in the words.
"If there is no reply for a long time, we will dispatch the police to your location..."
The police issued another reminder.
Transparent Bridge replied, "Sorry, nothing's wrong" and closed the window.
Whispers are rising.
[Have you never wondered what the real you is like? Maybe the reality you think is actually a game? I just want to help you. 】
【Now, you decide to pick up the diary and read it again.】
"You still haven't explained who you are, am I in reality or in a game." Transparent Bridge was unmoved, ignoring the thought-provoking words whispered.
Whispering did not reply. Transparent Bridge asked a few more questions, but also received no answer.
He didn't recover for a long time. Transparent Bridge thought for a while, approached the diary, bent down to pick it up, and opened it——
…
The creature said nothing, its cold vertical eyes just looked down at Mu Su.
After laughing twice, Mu Su suddenly raised a handful of sand and shouted: "Sand Falls Burial!"
It was caught off guard, and its bulging eyes that could not be closed were sprayed with water. Mu Su took advantage of its illness to kill it, hugged its smooth legs, pulled it to the ground, turned over and pressed on it.
Before Mu Su could sit up, the petite being beneath him suddenly burst out with unstoppable force, and Mu Su was caught off guard and was pinned underneath.
He was about to struggle when he suddenly felt a pair of webbed hands groping around his waist to pull down his pants, and his resistance weakened a bit.
Then when Mu Su saw its fish-like face, his reaction suddenly became violent, and he hugged it and started fighting on the beach.
It seemed that it was only for sex and had no intention of harming Mu Su. And it felt slippery, so Mu Su couldn't put any effort on it. For a moment, she was stuck in a stalemate.
In the end, Mu Su discovered its weakness and took advantage of its size to pick it up by the waist, drag it into the wooden house and stuff it into the hole.
"Go back where it came from!" Mu Su gritted his teeth and put it into the hole. "Say hello to Mr. Ke for me!"
As it shouted, it fell into the abyss and disappeared in an instant.
Mu Su gasped and sat down on the side, and after a while he suddenly became upset.
The conditions were so good just now that I actually forgot to play Spartan Terrier.
…
Bloody red filled the field of vision.
Everything within sight turned into wriggling flesh and blood. Blood vessels were like veins climbing up the walls made of flesh, as if they were inside the body of some creature. The dark sky outside the window was as red as hell.
This is her room.
Not again.
The diary that was turned to the last page in his hand also turned into a piece of flesh. An eyeball squeezed out of the center of the piece of flesh, staring at the transparent bridge.
The transparent bridge was horrified and subconsciously took a step back.
The white and tender bare feet squeezed into the flesh, and the soles of the feet squeezed open the soft flesh walls. The smooth touch made Transparent Bridge tingle all over. She forced herself not to run away, so as not to feel more touches.
When he closed his eyes, the HUD window in his field of vision was the same bloody scene, with lines squirming on it.
She maintained her last trace of reason and gritted her teeth: "Is this your purpose?"
You can imagine the shadow left behind when your home becomes like this.
[What is happening in front of you makes you scared. Panic fills your heart. "Am I crazy!" You think in your heart, you are worried that all this is true. You are at a loss, and you want to end it all. 】
The whisper sounded slowly. Transparent Bridge heard a hint of malice from it.
Maybe she was overthinking it.
Maybe not.
[You begin to hesitate in your heart, and gradually, two thoughts come to mind. One is to move forward, and the other is to retreat.]
What does it want to do?
Transparent Bridge's pale lips moved slightly, but she didn't open her mouth.
[Two voices are arguing in the back of your mind. One is saying: "Maybe you should go out and take a look. The only thing that may change is the house." The other is saying, "The scene outside the window says it all. Maybe death can be the end."
This is just a game.”]
[Listening to the two voices arguing, you suddenly remembered that you had put a folding knife in your pocket before.]
Transparent Qiao was startled and hurriedly touched the pocket of his pajamas.
The finger touches a hard, cold object.
She slowly took it out and held it in front of her.
It's a folding knife.
She didn't remember having such a thing, let alone putting it in her pocket.
【It can end it all. When you open your eyes again, you have returned to reality.】
Transparent Bridge, whose thoughts were confused, was bewitched by the whispers. He drew out the blade in a daze, raised it upside down and pointed it at his heart.
It will be over soon.
In a daze, she seemed to hear Mu Su's voice.
"Hey - come out!"
…
"Who lives in the big pineapple in the deep sea~"
On the coast, Mu Su hummed and struggled to turn the upside-down wooden boat over.
After sending the creature with a fish head and a human body into the abyss, Musu consciously completed his mission on the beach and began to prepare to go out to sea.
"SpongeBob!"
[Unfortunately, you didn’t find any useful clues from the wooden house. Fortunately, you have other options. You saw a wooden boat, which is intact enough for you to go to sea——]
"Fangfanghuanghuang can stretch and shrink freely~"
【——Although you don’t know where to go, even though you may never come back after going to sea——】
"Big Gou Gou!"
【Oh damn, can you stop singing!】
Mu Su covered her mouth as if frightened and blinked innocently.
Musu has always had no bottom line, and his reckless behavior finally angered this being.
After a while, Mu Su whispered, "Can you... talk to me?"
When others are present, Mu Su's threat level will increase at a geometric rate.
What responded to him was not a whisper, but a line of system prompts that suddenly appeared on his retina.
