Chapter 75

"Li Yi, you were very dangerous just now, do you know? Just by taking a look at that mural, you were stunned in place like everyone else and fell into a deep illusion. The flesh and blood on your body were disappearing rapidly. If you hadn't suddenly woken up, you would have already died just now."

Zhang Lei said in a deep voice at this moment: "And there are four people who died like this here, one of whom was a field combatant in the Spirit Inspiration Realm."

Li Yi, who had already woken up, had an uncertain expression. He said: "Just now, I saw the skeleton in the mural come back to life and turn into a beauty to seduce me, like the legendary spirits and ghosts. I almost couldn't hold on."

"There are more than just you who have had similar experiences. I am the same."

Suddenly, another skeleton on the side spoke: "My end was no better than yours. I fell into it at a glance. Here, only Captain Zhang Lei and a Daoist priest from Sanqing Mountain relied on their own willpower to resist that kind of temptation and broke free from the lust illusion."

Li Yi looked at him and hesitated: "Are you?"

"My name is Zhang Zhixiong, and I am also an investigator. Wang Jian should know me." This skeleton said: "You are really too careless. Knowing that it is dangerous here, you still rushed in. You should have investigated clearly before speaking. Now it's good, you are also trapped in with us."

"Zhang Lei, I think the best way to leave here is for people outside to blow up this skeleton mural. This is the source that caused us to fall into the illusion. Only by destroying it can our consciousness leave here and wake up from reality." Afterward, Zhang Zhixiong said earnestly.

"This mural carries mysterious power and is suspected to be a mystic object. It is very difficult to destroy it. If a large amount of explosives is used, our bodies outside the illusion will also be damaged. By then, even if consciousness returns, it is estimated that we will be finished." Zhang Lei said in a deep voice: "So your proposal is not very good."

"If we can determine the location and use a sniper rifle to shatter this mural from a long distance, then the matter can be solved safely."

Suddenly, a person wearing a Daoist robe walked over. His state was a bit better than Zhang Lei's, and there was still a lot of flesh and blood on his body, and his face still maintained a normal appearance.

It's just that his appearance was a bit unique; he was a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes.

Foreign Daoist priest?

Li Yi couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"Daoist Priest Peter's words make sense, but we have no way to notify our teammates outside now, which is also a problem." Someone nodded in agreement, but had to face another problem.

"But if we can find a way to leave the illusion, then we don't need to destroy this stone wall." Zhang Zhixiong shook his head.

The matter fell into a stalemate again.

"I want to ask a question." At this moment, Li Yi, who had been observing, spoke up: "I want to know why everyone who enters here is in the shape of a skeleton, and the speed at which flesh and blood disappear on everyone is different? Some people still maintain the appearance of people, but some have completely become skeletons?"

Zhang Lei, who was the captain, said: "This was first discovered by Daoist Priest Peter, and finally a conclusion was reached: the greater the fear of death in the hearts of people involved in the illusion, the faster the flesh and blood on their bodies disappear. If you can stabilize your mind and sit still, then the speed at which the flesh and blood on your body disappear will be very slow."

"It is precisely because we knew this that we were able to support ourselves here for so long. But even so, the terror between life and death is not something everyone can overcome, and there are still teammates who fell in the illusion."

Speaking of this, Zhang Lei's expression was gloomy and a bit angry.

A group of investigators with flesh and blood and a sense of responsibility were confusedly involved in such a ghostly place and suffered losses one after another. This was something he couldn't bear.

Even if they died, fighting with criminals and fighting with fierce beasts, that would be considered dying gloriously.

What kind of death is this?

Is it scaring yourself to death? Or did you accidentally step into a pit, fall into the illusion world, and pit yourself to death?

If these reasons were written on the death report, wouldn't they be laughed at?

"So that's how it is."

Li Yi finally understood why the flesh and blood on his body dissipated quickly at the beginning, but the speed slowed down here. That was because he saw Zhang Lei, Zhang Zhixiong, and others here, and the fear in his heart became weaker.

But even so, how long can he support this state?

Therefore, pessimistic thoughts shrouded everyone again, and they all fell silent.

They were not willing to sit and wait for death, but all the methods that should be tried had been tried, and they really couldn't find a point to break the situation.

Li Yi had just arrived here and didn't want to give up. He found a corner and began to think, while also observing the mural, trying to find some flaws. However, with the experience of suffering losses before, he didn't dare to look directly at the skeleton image on the mural.

It seems that as long as you don't look directly, the situation of being controlled by the illusion will not appear.

"Not bad."

Suddenly, the disappeared voice rang in Li Yi's mind again.

"Hmm?" Li Yi's expression moved slightly: "Is it you?"

The remnant thought deposited in the broken knife coin appeared again.

"What is not bad?" Li Yi asked again.

"The curse on your body is not bad. Although it affected your brain, it also brought benefits. Even this kind of illusion that can convert between virtual and real can't take you away. You are indeed worthy of being a naturally evil Earth-Ball person." The voice revealed a little appreciation in its tone, but this appreciation made people feel strange.

Li Yi said: "You are the one with a problem in your brain. Don't say naturally evil every sentence. The white bone mural here is much more evil than me, wanting to trap so many people to death here. If you have any good ideas, say them now. If it's late, everyone will be dead."

"Look, you are in a hurry again." The voice said.

"Life and death are at stake, can I not be in a hurry?" Li Yi replied.

The voice continued: "Actually, it is very simple to leave this illusion, and that is from the inside out, relying on yourself to pass the test of the illusion, letting the illusion take the initiative to release you."

"Test? Is this illusion a test? How can a test be like this, causing lives at every turn?" Li Yi was shocked.

"Not bad, this is a kind of test." The voice saw the clues at this moment and said slowly: "Have you ever heard of White Bone Contemplation?"

White Bone Contemplation?

Li Yi immediately shook his head and said: "Never heard of it. What is White Bone Contemplation?"

"When a person takes off the skin bag, it is nothing more than two hundred and six bones. When wearing clothes, there can be eighteen thousand phases." The voice said this sentence at this moment.

Li Yi was refreshed when he heard this: "You are right. Just now I was deceived by that eerie mural. That skeleton really put on a transparent gauze dress, and then turned into a beauty who seduced people, starting to seduce me, making me sink into it, unable to extricate myself. Later, suddenly that beauty turned back into a withered bone, which gave me a fright."

"Hehe, this is White Bone Contemplation. You have to achieve contemplating beauty as white bones, which can make you have no desire. Then contemplate white bones as beauty, which can make you have no fear. With no fear and no desire, the illusion can be broken." The voice said.

"Contemplate beauty as white bones, contemplate white bones as beauty?"

Li Yi frowned: "This is fundamentally impossible to do. That beauty walks toward me, how can I treat her as a white bone? I am not some enlightened high monk with such understanding and concentration. This method is very difficult and doesn't work. Do you have any other methods?"

He tried to recall what happened before in his mind, and immediately stopped.

That kind of temptation, where can a young man like him resist?

If it comes again, his bones will be hard again.

The voice seemed to be silent for a while, and then said: "There is a tricky method that can break the illusion of White Bone Contemplation."

"What method?" Li Yi asked again.

"White Bone Flesh-Growing Method."

The voice said calmly: "You sit face to face with the white bones on the mural. It pinches the treasure seal, and you also pinch the treasure seal. It contemplates you flesh growing white bones, and you contemplate its white bones growing flesh. With the growth and decline of each other, you can see the true self. Once the true self appears, the illusion can be broken."

"I can understand some, but not much. I read few books and have no culture. Can you say it more simply?" Li Yi scratched his head and said.

"..."

"In words you can understand, it is to enter fantasy time. It imagines you as a withered bone sinking into lust, and you imagine it as having flesh and blood. You won't have lust for yourself, right?" After the voice finished, it said again: "Really a stupid pig and a stupid cow, useless except for being naturally evil."

"Enter fantasy time? I am good at this, I understand." Li Yi understood immediately.

He couldn't stand those literary words that made people dizzy. Just say it directly, why be like this?

Immediately, Li Yi stood up and walked toward the wall carved with white bone relief.

He didn't think the remnant thought in the knife coin would harm him at this moment. If it wanted him to die, it wouldn't need to be so troublesome, just don't make a sound. So he thought this method was credible.

"Li Yi, what are you doing again? Do you want to see the beauty again? Retreat, don't be stupid."

Seeing Li Yi suddenly approach the mural, Zhang Zhixiong, who was an investigator, immediately scolded.

He thought Li Yi's heart was weak and he was desperate, wanting to die in that gentle village without pain.

It wasn't that teammates hadn't had such thoughts before.
