Chapter 279

Bai Qiusheng couldn't have returned.

Before leaving this morning, Li Banfeng had seen him; even if he went to take the train immediately, it would be impossible for him to appear in Proper Village at this time.

This Bai Qiusheng is a fake!

Li Banfeng asked: "Qiusheng, when did you get back?"

Bai Qiusheng raised his head and said: "I have a stomachache, Brother Seven, let's talk later!"

After saying this, Bai Qiusheng ran into the outhouse next to the studio and closed the door.

Li Banfeng was about to chase after him, but Ma Wu stopped him: "Brother Seven, you haven't said why you came back yet?"

"I took a train, and then..."

Brother Seven?

Ma Wu called me Brother Seven?

Li Banfeng stepped back half a step and smiled: "Guess why I came back?"

This Ma Wu is also a fake!

Ma Wu looked at the camera: "The film is used up, I'll go see if there's any left."

After saying this, Ma Wu flew toward the warehouse by the lake and closed the door.

"Don't go!" Li Banfeng chased after him for two steps, seeing Zuo Wugang wearing a green vest, walking toward him: "Brother Seven, what happened to Old Five just now, he was so flustered."

"He's not... well, the film is used up, he went to find some."

Zuo Wugang called Ma Wu Old Five.

Li Banfeng almost took out his sickle.

He kept reminding himself not to be impulsive.

He scanned everyone around him; he couldn't tell who was real and who was fake.

Li Banfeng didn't say more and walked quickly along the small path in the village alone.

A-Qin was wearing a green cheongsam, walking toward him, smiling happily at Li Banfeng: "Brother Seven, you're back?"

"Yeah, I'm back." Li Banfeng raised the corners of his mouth, squeezing out a smile.

A-Qin called me Brother Seven?

Since returning to Proper Village, everyone who spoke to Li Banfeng, except for Qiaocui, seemed to be fake.

Is Qiaocui still at the entrance of the village?

Li Banfeng ran quickly to the entrance of the village and found Qiaocui was gone.

What is this situation?

Preliminary analysis, there should be two possibilities.

The first possibility, Proper Village has been occupied.

Someone occupying Proper Village is a possible thing; after all, there should be many people who want the ten-mile plot of the new land.

But after occupying Proper Village, they still dress up as the original residents of Proper Village; what is the purpose of doing this?

This matter is easy to verify.

Li Banfeng pulled out his dagger and cut a slit in his palm.

Fresh blood dripped onto the ground, and Li Banfeng whispered: "Someone has invaded my plot."

Waiting for a long time in anxiety, Shui Yongquan did not appear.

This proves one thing.

This is not Proper Village!

Illusion?

I walked into an illusion!

When did I enter the illusion?

From the moment I felt the road was familiar?

Who is the person who set up the illusion?

That crazy old man who thought he was a train?

Li Banfeng looked carefully at the surrounding scenery; every building here, even every blade of grass and tree, was exactly the same as Proper Village.

This old man couldn't possibly know Proper Village so well.

Is it someone who has been to Proper Village?

Who among those who have been to Proper Village can create such a large illusion?

Sun Tiecheng?

Seems like only...

Don't guess wildly, enter the Suishenju and ask the lady.

Li Banfeng was about to move the key, but his thoughts turned, and he immediately dismissed the idea of returning to the Suishenju.

If I am really in an illusion, what is my current state?

Is it possible that I am currently wandering aimlessly in a wilderness, with someone following me all the time?

If I took out the key now, the secret of the Suishenju would be exposed.

This person could kill me and occupy everything I have, including my identity.

Who could this person be?

No matter who he is, leave this place first.

Li Banfeng wanted to leave the "Proper Village" in front of him, but after walking a few steps, he stopped again.

If he is really in an illusion, it certainly won't be easy to leave here.

Walking like this, he probably won't be able to get out, and walking around blindly might even lead to more unknown dangers.

To escape the illusion, he must find the person who created it; even if he can't beat him, he must be prepared for him.

Who are the people who know Proper Village very well?

To what extent does he know it?

Li Banfeng went to the council hall and saw two inconspicuous scratches on the wall.

When he dismantled the windmill phonograph, Little Xiao Chuanzi accidentally left some scratches on the wall. He was afraid of being discovered and used some methods to cover them up, but he was caught red-handed by Li Banfeng.

Actually, Little Xiao Chuanzi's craftsmanship is quite good, even Ma Wu didn't notice these two scratches.

The person who created the illusion even reproduced these two scratches; could it be Little Xiao Chuanzi?

This young man who drives the road roller was originally a master of the world?

If this is really the case, he is hiding too deep.

Can I see Little Xiao Chuanzi in this illusion?

Li Banfeng left the council hall and wandered around the village for a long time, but didn't see Little Xiao Chuanzi, only Little Xiao Genzi.

"Brother Seven, you're back." Little Xiao Genzi was as diligent as before, greeted him simply, and continued to use a spoon to search for metal juice.

As a character created by the illusion, Little Xiao Genzi didn't reveal any flaws, proving that the person who created the illusion is very familiar with Little Xiao Genzi.

Could it really be Little Xiao Chuanzi?

But thinking about it this way, the logic doesn't hold up.

Little Xiao Chuanzi is also very familiar with Ma Wu and Zuo Wugang; he couldn't have gotten the titles wrong.

Ask this "Little Xiao Genzi" a few questions to see if he can get any clues from him.

Li Banfeng looked around, and Little Xiao Genzi suddenly disappeared.

Where did he go?

Little Xiao Genzi's phantom disappeared?

Li Banfeng continued to look for clues in the illusion and walked to his own room without realizing it.

After hesitating for a moment, he pushed open the door and walked in.

The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as his real room.

In Proper Village, not many people can enter Li Banfeng's room.

Who exactly created this illusion?

Sweat beads slid down his cheeks one by one, and Li Banfeng had a new guess.

He crawled under the bed and saw a groove in the floor gap.

This groove was left by himself; after entering the Suishenju, he could accurately throw the key into the groove. The purpose of this groove was to keep the key safe.

That is to say, only one person knows the location of this groove.

This person is Li Banfeng himself.

What does this mean?

Who exactly created the illusion?

It was Li Banfeng himself.

How could I create an illusion for myself?

Even if Li Banfeng was crazy and had self-harming behavior, he didn't know illusion techniques himself and couldn't have made the illusion so realistic.

Li Banfeng sat in the room, his face twisting uncontrollably.

He was worried about his condition; he suspected he might be having an episode.

Should I return to the Suishenju?

Where exactly am I now?

If I am really in a wilderness, the situation is still okay, but if I am in a residential building, I am afraid it will be a bloodbath.

But this situation doesn't look like an episode.

Li Banfeng felt he hadn't lost control.

Is there another possibility?

This illusion was indeed created by me, but it wasn't created using illusion techniques?

Li Banfeng sat on the bed and pondered for a long time.

He took a pen from the table and wrote three words on the bed sheet: "I'm not crazy."

Li Banfeng closed his eyes, closed them for more than two seconds, and when he opened them again, the three words had become five: "A little bit, maybe."

Closed his eyes again, opened them and looked again, the five words had become four: "That doesn't count."

Li Banfeng wasn't crazy; he knew what was happening.

There are words here that change at any time.

Think about the situation that happened before.

People you are in a hurry to find, but can never find.

This situation often occurs in an occasion.

"This is a dream," Li Banfeng whispered, "I'm dreaming."

"Hehehe!"

A woman's laughter reached his ears, the sound seeming to come from outside the window.

Li Banfeng immediately pushed open the window, didn't see anyone, only saw a white garment floating in mid-air.

"Knowing it's a dream, you've passed the first level."

Li Banfeng shouted: "Who are you?"

"I am a person, only me, find me, tell me loudly that you found me, and I will let you go.

Don't guess wildly, as long as you guess wrong once, you will stay here forever."

After the laughter, the white garment floating in mid-air suddenly disappeared.

Li Banfeng rushed out of his room, looking everywhere for someone wearing white clothes.

From the beginning of the village to the end, from Shui Yongquan's territory to Qiu Luoye's territory, Li Banfeng searched everywhere, but never found a person wearing white clothes, not even a white strange creature.

Sitting on the hillside, Li Banfeng panted heavily.

For Li Banfeng, walking around a hundred miles is not a difficult thing.

But this is in a dream; people in dreams are extremely prone to fatigue.

Where did the people wearing white clothes go?

Has anyone worn white clothes before?

Can I not look for that woman in white?

Since I am trapped in a dream, can't I find a way to wake myself up?

Li Banfeng made himself open his eyes suddenly.

Tried a few times, no effect.

Slap myself?

Useless.

The wound on his hand is still aching; relying on pain alone, it is impossible to wake up.

Sitting silently for a long time, a thought interrupted Li Banfeng's train of thought.

Very urgent, very strong.

Seeking good fortune and avoiding evil?

No.

It's wanting to pee.

Since leaving this morning, Li Banfeng hasn't been to the toilet.

As everyone knows, you must never pee in a dream.

Get up and walk around, walking around will be fine.

After walking two steps, Li Banfeng felt not so good, the thought of letting go was stronger.

In such a dangerous dream, why care about these things?

If you pee, you pee; just let the lady wash a pair of pants.

If you are afraid of the lady laughing at you, just don't want these pants at most.

Let me see if there is an outhouse nearby.

Relying on memory, Li Banfeng found a dry toilet in the woods, pushed the door and went in, successfully letting go, and the anxiety and annoyance pressing on his heart disappeared instantly.

These pants are definitely finished.

Strange, why did I look for an outhouse?

Wouldn't it be fine to find any place to solve it?

Afraid of losing face?

That's not right, this is my dream.

In a dream, what face do I care about?

Perhaps because his stomach was empty, Li Banfeng felt hungry.

In a dream, feeling hungry is a common thing, but it is highly likely that you won't find a place to eat, and even if you find one, you won't be able to eat.

Li Banfeng originally wanted to endure it, but after going down the hillside and returning to Proper Village, he really found a restaurant.

When did this restaurant open?

A fragrance of food drifted out, Li Banfeng couldn't resist the temptation, went in and ordered two small dishes, and had a full meal.

Don't say, this meal was really full.

How can you be full in a dream?

Should be an illusion, right?

Li Banfeng was about to pay for the meal, when he saw Ma Wu walk into the restaurant.

He changed into a blue suit and sat beside Li Banfeng: "Old Seven, it's good you're here too, let's look at the script together."

He called me Old Seven!

The title is correct.

Zuo Wugang also entered the restaurant, his green vest changed into a purple short jacket.

"Fifth Master, I can't act, so don't make things difficult for me."

The title is also correct.

A-Qin sat beside Ma Wu, secretly kissed Ma Wu, her green cheongsam changed into a red long skirt.

She smiled at Li Banfeng and said: "Boss Night, I cooked a few small dishes, do you want to go to my place with Wulang tonight?"

A-Qin followed Li Banfeng to Black Stone Slope, she called him Boss Night, indeed no problem.

Everyone's situation is correct, have I broken free from the dream?

What about the woman in white?

Everyone's clothes have changed color, but there is not a single person wearing white!

White...

White clothes...

Why look for white clothes?

Li Banfeng blinked and suddenly understood one thing.

Looking for that woman has nothing to do with white clothes.

I have seen her, and I have seen her more than once.

He scanned the people around him; there are only two kinds of people here.

This is my dream, I used the wrong method.

This is my dream, only what exists in my line of sight exists in the dream.

I don't need to look for her, she can only follow me.

Little Xiao Genzi walked over with a bucket on his back, followed by Little Xiao Chuanzi wearing coarse work clothes.

The two saw Li Banfeng and were about to speak, but Li Banfeng shouted: "Don't speak, not a single word!"

PS: If you keep talking, you will never find that woman again.
