Chapter 301 Breaking the Illusion
Chapter 301: Breaking the Illusion
"Xu Zhifei!"
Song Que roared, but the floor above his head had disappeared...
His vision went dark, and he felt like he was sliding down a slippery slope quickly.
"Bang——"
Song Que fell to the cold ground, looking a little dazed.
But just a moment later, he immediately turned over and climbed up, looking up at the top of his head.
There...a pothole is closing.
"Xu Zhifei..." Song Que clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to slap himself. Why? Why didn't he realize that she couldn't hold on any longer?
No matter how weird and unsociable she is, she is still a girl. How can her physical strength be compared with that of myself who has gone through systematic training...
Now she fainted alone in that oven-like hall, absolutely dead!
Song Que felt strong regret and guilt when he thought that Xu Zhifei was still telling him where to survive at the last moment before he fainted.
His body couldn't stop shaking, not because of fear, but because of self-blame.
Wait for me...wait for me...you must...not die!
Song Que turned around tremblingly, looking for an exit like crazy.
He wanted to find his way back to the surface, go back... and get her back.
……
basement.
Liu Ruonan huddled in the corner, looking at the man in front of him with fear.
"You...what are you going to do?"
"Did you hear that?" Bai Yanliang's voice was like ice on a cold day, extremely cold, but his eyes did not look at Liu Ruonan, but kept staring at the top of his head.
"What...what did you say?"
Liu Ruonan couldn't hide the fear in his heart and didn't dare to look at Bai Yanliang at all.
"Let me ask you, did you hear... someone was calling 'Xu Zhifei'?" Bai Yanliang lowered his head and looked at her. The frightening chill in his eyes made Liu Ruonan almost collapse.
"Listen...I heard it, I heard it..." Liu Ruonan couldn't stop crying, and said tremblingly: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I shouldn't have pulled you down..."
For a long time, she didn't hear any response.
When Liu Ruonan carefully raised his head, he discovered that Bai Yanliang, who was beside her just now, had disappeared.
Liu Ruonan relaxed and sat slumped in the corner.
That man just now...that Bai Yanliang, was simply...too scary...
At this time, Bai Yanliang took out his mobile phone and tried to dial Xu Zhifei's number.
That was Song Que's voice just now. After he was dragged down into the pit by Liu Ruonan, only Xu Zhifei and Song Que were left above.
Although Song Que has character flaws, he is generally not a bad person. His call was full of regret. It must be... something happened to Xu Zhifei.
Bai Yanliang didn't want to come down, because this was not a real way to survive at all!
"Answer the phone...Xu Zhifei..." Bai Yanliang seemed to understand what kind of emotions nervousness and uneasiness were. He hated this kind of emotion, and even more hated himself when this kind of emotion appeared.
“Du—”
“Du—”
“Du—”
The call went through, and Bai Yanliang felt the sweat on his palms.
Well, at least if he can get through...Xu Zhifei will have a chance to answer the phone, understand what he means, and then he will definitely be able to find...a real way out.
Bai Yanliang rarely had such strong hope. Even his hope of escaping from the mental hospital was not as strong as it was at this moment.
At this moment, he desperately hoped that the answer button would be pressed on the other end of the phone.
However... there was still no response.
Just when Bai Yanliang was about to hang up, his phone suddenly lit up, and a weak and hoarse voice sounded: "Bai..."
Bai Yanliang's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately said: "Xu Zhifei! The temperature you feel is an illusion! Convince your brain to deny everything it sees!"
On the other end of the phone, after hearing these words, Xu Zhifei's chaotic brain suddenly became clear. She realized something immediately.
Yes, if these temperatures are real, then the wooden furniture and books in this room will at least curl up...
And, most importantly.
Xu Zhifei blinked and looked in the direction Bai Yanliang was looking before.
It was in the center of the hall, and there was a landscape painting hanging on it. The paper was very thin and very large, and the top part was close to the ceiling.
Logically speaking... it is inevitable that the top part of it will become browned at such a close range, not to mention spontaneous combustion.
But the truth is...it hasn't changed.
Therefore, the temperature of this room is false.
Everything is just as Bai Yanliang said, this is just a terrible illusion!
Of course, this level of hallucination can kill a person. Even in the real world, the hypnotic effect of some psychological suggestions that are too strong can cause people to lose their lives!
This is the power of the brain.
As long as it believes everything it sees, even if the hall is at a normal temperature, they will "burn" themselves alive!
Xu Zhifei, who understood the key point, immediately started self-hypnosis.
She already had quite reliable knowledge of psychology, so... it was not difficult for her to convince herself that the temperature in front of her was fake.
Gradually... changes happened.
The temperature faded quickly and returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
The distance between the ceilings also quietly recovered. It had always stayed at the height of five meters without changing at all.
However, the pile of smashed lamps were real.
It is true that Bai Yanliang and the others fell into the ground.
Xu Zhifei panted slightly and was already sweating profusely.
She lowered her head and glanced at the phone that had been hung up in her hand. She knew...she was really going to die just now.
But just when she was about to pass out, her phone rang.
As she looked at it, the corners of Xu Zhifei's mouth turned up slightly. Different from the stiff curve in the past, her smile at this moment... was actually beautiful.
……
Phew...
Bai Yanliang breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Zhifei was finally out of danger.
To be honest, they are more dangerous now.
Smashing the lamp is not the right way to survive at all, because it is based on the wrong conditions, that is... under the conditions of admitting that the temperature is real.
If it was wrong from the beginning, then this path will naturally be wrong to the end.
Now because of the hallucination just now, he, Song Que, and Liu Ruonan were brought to the basement.
This broke Bai Yanliang's plan.
Originally, he planned for the four of them to split up, with two following Ouyang Kang and two following Zhan Yunhong.
Because those two people have very big problems.
The first is Ouyang Kang. When he saw the A4 paper, his reaction was not right at all. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be as surprised as he was when there was an A4 paper on the table in the hall.
Next is Zhan Yunhong.
There are two doors on the left and right to leave the hall. Bai Yanliang noticed that whether it was Ouyang Kang, Wang Rui or Lin Dayou, they all hesitated when leaving the hall to go left or right. Only Zhan Yunhong did not hesitate. He hesitantly entered the door on the right. It was obvious that he knew something. He was very sure of the path he had chosen, so he walked with extraordinary confidence.
But...now this basement has completely disrupted Bai Yanliang's plan.
My grades have been better recently, I have received more recommendations, and I have more friends here. I also take everyone’s comments into consideration... To be honest, I am just a newbie when it comes to writing online articles. Although I have an outline, Yes, but I am not yet proficient in grasping the rhythm. I hope you can understand the newcomers and I will slowly improve!
