Chapter 278 Lied
Shen Xing had a look of deep thought and solemnity on his face. He stood in front of the huge chessboard, his eyes wandering through the intricate situation, as if he was playing a silent game with fate.
His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about how to solve the chess game, and as if he was anticipating the upcoming challenges and choices.
"Do you still remember those days? Alas, where has the time gone?" A clear and beautiful voice uttered this sentence slowly, and Shen Xing was unable to tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"No! This is an illusion. I am just the incarnation of a colorful bird. I am not what I used to be!" Shen Xing warned himself not to lose his mind.
Shen Li was the most peaceful one among the group. She looked at the feather gently falling, her face filled with a kind of peace and tranquility that transcended the world. Her eyes were full of tenderness and love, as if the feather was the sustenance of her soul, allowing her to find a piece of pure land that belonged to her in this chaotic fantasy.
"You loved this land with your life, but your ending is just a pair of wings." A voice echoed in Shen Li's ears, telling her that everything was not worth it.
Your efforts are not worth it.
Your efforts have yielded no results.
Your tomorrow is not understood.
You are still you, you changed the whole world, but no one remembers.
As for Mo Fang, his face showed a complex emotion.
He stared at the beating heart with awe and emotion in his eyes. He seemed to be able to feel the powerful vitality contained in the heart, which gave him a deeper understanding and perception of life.
At the same time, he also felt his own insignificance and powerlessness in this realization, which made him cherish everything in front of him even more.
"How many people have died because of you? Your survival... is a sin!" The voice seemed to come from the heart, accusing.
The six people are each immersed in their own world, but are closely connected by this common experience.
Their eyes met each other, flashing with complex light.
Lei Zhen spoke first, his voice deep and powerful:
"What I saw was not what you said. What I saw was an endless starry sky, dazzling and inspiring." His eyes quickly swept across everyone's face, as if looking for resonance, but in fact, he had another picture hidden in his heart.
Dianwu immediately took over the conversation, with a hint of cunning in her smile:
"Oh? The starry sky? I think it's a dense forest, full of vitality and vigor. It's as if I can hear the leaves whispering." Her words were full of yearning for nature, but her eyes revealed a desire for another story.
Yun Yi shook his head, his voice soft and full of mystery:
"You are all wrong. What I saw was an ancient library. The shelves were filled with treasures of knowledge, waiting for brave explorers." He said, as if he was really in that space full of wisdom, but in his heart, he was fantasizing about another unknown realm.
Shen Xing pondered for a moment and spoke slowly:
"Library? No, what I saw was a boundless ocean, with turbulent waves and magnificent tides. I felt the breeze of the sea and heard the call of the waves." His description made people seem to smell the salty taste of the sea water, but his eyes revealed his longing for another world.
Shen Li smiled gently, her voice was like a spring breeze:
"Although the ocean is beautiful, what I saw was a tranquil lake with crystal clear water reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. There I found inner peace and tranquility." Her words were full of tenderness and peace, but her mind had already drifted to another peaceful world.
Finally, Mo Fang said in a deep voice:
"Lake? Maybe. But what I saw was a towering mountain, reaching into the sky, challenging the limits of the sky. I stood on the top of the mountain and felt unprecedented freedom and power." His tone was firm and powerful, but in his heart, he was weaving another story about climbing and conquering.
After telling those carefully woven lies, the atmosphere among the six people suddenly became unusually quiet, with only the occasional crackling of torches breaking the silence.
Shen Xing seemed to sense the subtlety of this silence. He sighed softly and took the lead in breaking the deadlock:
"Everyone... is lying, right?"
Although his voice was soft, it was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yi and Mo Fang looked at each other, then nodded calmly and said bluntly: "Yes, I lied."
Seeing this, Shen Li smiled gently. She spoke slowly, her voice soft but firm:
"In fact, we don't want to tell each other what we really saw because we understand that in this illusion, we are both fellow Taoists fighting side by side and competitors. Everyone has their own calculations and considerations in their hearts, and it is natural to have reservations. Although we may seem a little selfish to outsiders, in this special environment, we are doing this to protect ourselves and for the benefit of the team."
As soon as Shen Li finished speaking, he received the approval of the other four people.
Lei Zhen nodded to show his understanding:
"It's true that everyone has their own secrets and bottom lines. We don't need to be completely transparent, but the key is to trust each other and face difficulties together."
Dianwu also agreed, "Yes, as long as we focus our minds and energy on one thing, we can get out of this illusion even if we have reservations."
The Mexican side added: "Moreover, such reservations also make us more cautious in competition and cherish the opportunities for cooperation with each other."
Shen Xing looked at everyone, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction: "Well said, we are a team with common goals and dreams. In this fantasy, we will encounter various challenges and temptations, but as long as we keep a clear head, firm beliefs, and understand and support each other, nothing can stop us from moving forward."
However, just when the five people thought they had found a subtle way to coexist in this bizarre fantasy, fate quietly weaved an unexpected drama.
They were stunned to find that every leap of thought was accompanied by an indescribable transformation of the body - as if the laws of nature were disrupted at this moment, interweaving their identities with animal characteristics.
Lei Zhen's back was quietly swelling, like the wings about to spread in the ancient legend. He was startled and quickly used his cloak as a cover, pretending to be calm and smiling:
"Haha, this wind makes me feel a little dizzy." But the panic that flashed across his eyes revealed his uneasiness.
Dianwu's fingers gradually became sharper, and the fingertips flickered. She bit her lower lip tightly, and her fingertips gently touched the cuffs, whispering:
"This...what's going on?" Then, she deliberately adjusted her breathing and tried to make her voice sound natural: "Everyone be careful, this illusion seems to be weird."
