The brilliant light that filled Ping Lingzi's vision faded.
The surrounding environment became dark.
The stove that was originally placed next to him has disappeared without a trace.
She looked calmly and looked at An Gang across from her.
He saw a beautiful woman standing behind An Gang. The woman's chest was pressed tightly against An Gang's back, and her long hair fell down, covering An Gang's neck.
A pair of deformed palms with long black and purple nails are holding a Prajna ghost face.
Fix the ghost face on An Gang's face.
'The beauty of Rashomon!'
Seeing that beautiful woman, Ping Lingzi's pupils shrank, and she suddenly had a guess in her mind.
She has lived in Kyoto since childhood,
Naturally, he is very clear about the various rumors about the mysterious "Rashomon" wandering around Kyoto.
When she saw the 'beautiful woman' with a Prajna ghost face, she instantly determined the approximate identity of this Li Wei.
Ping Lingzi didn't know what Su Wu had done to him.
As a result, the environment in which we live has undergone tremendous changes.
She sat in the dark city gate and saw An Gang across from her, who was clearly bewitched by the beautiful woman Li Gui, and had lost a lot of consciousness.
Then he turned to look at Su Wu——
Behind that despicable man stood an illusory warrior.
Blood continued to flow from the blood hole in the warrior's chest,
A green ghost eye appeared inside. The ghost eye stared at the man, but when its eyes fell on the man, it was dissolved by the invisible force and could not have any influence on the man.
Behind that man and Anzuna stood Li Wei from Rashomon...
Ping Lingzi pursed her lips and looked behind herself.
I saw a woodcutter carrying a bundle of firewood,
There is a beautiful dagger hidden in the woodcutter's waist.
At this time, the dagger continued to drip black blood, and the drops of blood gathered into a pool of blood at its feet.
The smelly blood gradually expanded,
It spread towards where Hiringko was sitting.
Ping Lingzi's eyes hurriedly scanned other areas,
I saw the towering city gate tower that was about to collapse.
I saw a plaque with the three words "Rashomon" hanging on the castle gate tower.
Downstairs of the city gate,
Warriors, woodcutters, beautiful women, thieves, and traveling monks gather here.
Two city gate guards, surrounded by green will-o'-the-wisps, were watching nearby, monitoring the karuta game between Ping Lingzi and the other three.
She was shivering all over,
Looking at the man to the side,
Finally, I understood what the other party meant by "getting rid of Li Gui's control".
——It turns out that silently, I have already fallen into the control of Li Jui!
When the pool of blood at the woodcutter’s feet behind him contained himself,
Maybe he himself will become like An Gang opposite him, unable to keep his mind clear, and completely slip into the abyss dug by Li Wei!
Ping Lingzi was convinced,
The various pictures you see at the moment are the real world here.
She can judge the truth and falsehood by herself, without the help of others.
"What do you want from me?
——As long as we join forces and can escape Li Jui's control, I am willing to cooperate with you." Ping Lingzi spoke, and she saw the pool of blood at the woodcutter's feet, and the distance between him and herself was no more than three feet.
Maybe you will do something wrong next time,
This may cause the three-foot distance to be instantly covered by a pool of blood.
Therefore, every step she takes now must be done cautiously and without any mistakes.
Including cooperation with the man on the opposite side,
There must be the necessary value for cooperation.
"It's not what I need you to do.
But you must cooperate with me." Su Wu shook his head and said words as hard as iron.
Ping Lingzi remained silent.
Her fair cheeks turned red because of the anger in her heart.
Su Wu looked at her and continued: "Even if I am in Rashomon, I have the absolute ability to guarantee that I can forcibly break its laws and escape from its control. I am an absolutely free man.
Do you have such ability?"
While he was talking, he placed the 'Great Red Lotus Embryo' and the Supreme Sword in front of him.
The supreme, supreme two great swords are in my body,
It's enough to show his confidence.
What's more, his strength is not limited to two weapons.
Ping Lingzi lowered his eyebrows and looked at Tian Xie Gui beside him.
The evil spirits were so frightened by that man that they covered their eyes, mouth, and now even their ears...
What a useless thing.
However, even Tian Xie Gui was frightened like this, which actually shows that the opponent's strength far exceeds his own.
the things he can do,
I can't do it myself.
"I can't do it." Ping Lingzi responded coldly.
Although it is a shame to be weaker than the enemy, the greater shame is to be unable to face one's own weakness.
"So, if you don't want to cooperate with me, I will solve the problem and at most it will cause some trouble.
But things will eventually work out,
The process is a bit cumbersome, but it actually doesn’t hurt.
As the price for causing trouble to me, you will stay in Rashomon forever." Seeing that this woman was surprisingly easy to communicate with, Su Wu's tone was not so harsh, "If you are willing to cooperate with me, I promise you that I can take care of you.
Together you escape from Li Jui's control.
Although we each work under the Genji and Taira clans,
But after all, it is not this surname.
Today's dispute can be overcome by turning a blind eye.
From now on, you go your own way and I cross my bridge."
Su Wu guessed that the woman was a 'ghost warrior of the Ping clan'.
But he would never have imagined that,
The other party is not only a ghost warrior of the Taira clan, but his original surname is even the Taira clan!
His words revealed some of his own misjudgments, but they were harmless.
Ping Lingzi was silent for a while,
There was a strange feeling in my heart.
She looked at the man on the other side who seemed to be in control of everything, but she felt like laughing inside.
So even if you are as cunning as you are, you still haven't guessed my true identity?
Ping Lingzi felt comfortable with winning the game. She nodded with a sullen face and no change in expression: "Yes. I hope you can keep your promise. Before that, I will fully cooperate with you.
So, what exactly do you want me to do?"
"I only need you to do one thing - try to let Li Gui behind you play this game." Su Wu said.
Ping Lingzi's expression changed significantly for the first time.
She was surprised and said: "If I let Li Ju behind me play this game, doesn't it mean that I will be completely controlled by Li Ju? Your idea is completely evil!"
"Yeah!"
Su Wu nodded repeatedly: "You maintain this idea and believe that I am Li Jui's accomplice just like An Gang.
It won't be long before I can play cards with Li Gui behind you!"
"..."
Ping Lingzi remained silent again.
The pool of blood at the feet of the woodcutter standing behind her did not expand during this period.
This shows that her cognition has not shifted in any way.
After being silent for a while, she looked at Su Wu again and asked in a low voice: "Why did you ask me to do that? Can you tell me?"
"Rashomon's ruthless tricks are different from ordinary ones.
They retained some knowledge of their lives and also gathered many memories of the undead.
So many memories gathered together,
It's enough for each of them to form a new personality.
As long as there is personality, there is also cognition.
They can distort the perception of living people,
I think we can also try to distort their cognition.
——Perhaps this is the best way to break Rashomon’s ‘laws’.”
Su Wu said this.
Ping Lingzi looked at Su Wu steadily for a while and said, "Okay, this method is worth a try.
I practice the swordsmanship of "Munen Mitsuru-ryu",
You can create thoughts in your own mind and gradually make yourself believe them to be true.
It is not difficult for Li Gui to quickly control my cognition in this way.
But I need a ‘key’ so that I can wake up from my chaotic cognition and correct myself——”
Su Wu originally wanted to directly use his own will to distort Ping Lingzi's cognition - but it would be more troublesome to correct his cognition afterwards.
Now that the other party has its own method, which sounds safer and more reliable,
He didn't need to worry about it, so he directly asked Ping Lingzi: "What is the key?"
The method used by Ping Lingzi,
The principle is probably similar to 'hypnosis'.
Looking into Su Wu's eyes, Ping Lingzi said slowly: "When everything is over, you only need to call me 'Ping's Ghost Warrior', and my original consciousness will wake up from the confusion.
This is the key."
"The ghost warriors of the Taira clan...
Is it that simple? I've written it down." Su Wu didn't know what special meaning such a simple sentence had to Ping Lingzi.
Ping Lingzi pursed his lips and smiled softly, saying softly: "I'll leave everything to you, Your Excellency."
…
Gloomy green will-o'-the-wisps were flying around half of the collapsed city gate tower.
These pale green lights did not illuminate the dark building at all, but instead added endless evil to it.
Under the dark city gate,
The city gate guards, surrounded by will-o'-the-wisps, surrounded the three 'people' who were playing flower cards.
An oil lamp squatted among the three people.
Under the weak light of the oil lamp, the three of them were extremely immersed in the flower card game, ignoring the current dangerous environment.
"It's my turn! It's my turn!"
'An Gang' stared at his blood-red eyes and looked at the cards in his hand.
There are seven categories of cards including samurai, geisha, craftsman, thief... He has already collected six categories. He only needs one "passerby" to collect all the flower cards and win the game.
'Win this game' is the only solid, untransferred thought in Anzuna's cognition that has undergone a huge shift.
The beautiful woman behind her has beautiful long black hair that wraps around An Gang's entire face.
This made the Prajna Ghost Mask that was not firmly attached to his face completely fixed.
There seemed to be many sharp teeth in the ghost's face, constantly biting the skin of his face.
That slight sting made An Gang's inner mania build up more and more, and he was about to reach a critical point.
He reached out and drew a card from the hand of 'Su Wu' in front of him.
The current 'Su Wu' is wrapped in the illusory figure of the warrior.
Only the dark outline of his body surrounded by the warrior's figure could be seen.
He wiped away his cards,
There is exactly the "Passenger" card that "An Gang" needs inside.
and,
'An Gang''s palm happened to hold the 'passerby' card.
currently,
'Su Wu' was wrapped in the illusory shadow of the warrior. The palms holding the cards suddenly overflowed with drops of viscous black liquid. The viscous black liquid turned into a small snake and swept over the card held by 'An Gang'.
Passerby sign',
The strange rhyme of the heart floats away from the viscous black liquid,
The "Passenger's Card" silently changed into the "Samurai Card".
