Chapter 419 The Line between Reality and Illusion


Chapter 419 The Line between Reality and Illusion

"It's not an illusion." A pleasant voice sounded behind him, and Sun Hang was shocked and immediately turned around and looked back.

The slender girl was wearing a pure white knee-length robe, with her long hair that was more dazzling white than the robe, draped over her shoulders and backs, her slender legs were stretched straight, and she stood pretty on the green lawn.

The burning ruins disappeared, the burning corpses everywhere disappeared, and even the smell of smoke in the air disappeared.

Everything around him changed back to what he was like before the eternal night came.

The brand new villa stands less than ten meters away from Sun Hang. The ochre red tiles and the flawless putty on the walls seemed to be just completed yesterday. The trash can at the entrance of the courtyard was filled with takeaway packaging bags with "National Fashion Beauty" printed on it. A stray cat was slicing on the edge of the trash can, trying to reach the leftover chicken bones in the takeaway bag.

On the other side of the street, there is a high-rise residential building that Sun Hang would see every day when he goes out. Two young women pushed the baby through the sidewalk under the shade of the tree. The white-collar workers waiting for the bus at the bus stop not far away looked anxious and would raise their wrists to look at the dial from time to time. On the other hand, the old man sitting on the bench reading the newspaper looked calm and calm.

Two sparrows passed by Sun Hang's head. Sun Hang raised his head, and the dazzling sunlight made him subconsciously squint his eyes.

This is what Tianfu City originally looked like. Unfortunately, after Sun Hang woke up, the days ended in just a few days.

"What are you doing?" Sun Hang retracted his gaze and focused on the white-haired girl in front of him, "Anna."

"Mom, don't you like this world?" Anna asked with her hands behind her back, leaning down and tilting her head.

"If you can really turn Tianfu City back, I don't mind." Sun Hang said, "but these are just hallucinations."

"Is the line between illusion and reality that obvious?"

Anna suddenly tiptoed, her slender waist trembled slightly, and while her ankle joint exerted force, her smooth instep immediately tense. Against the backdrop of her fair skin, her little feet were like an arc-shaped crescent moon. The next second, her body leaped into the air lightly.

Everything around was paused, and the only things that could move in the whole world were Sun Hang and Anna.

The latter was lifted up as if it was frozen by the sun, and then it quietly fell on the lawn like a white petal. The hem of the knee-length robe flew with the rotation like a dance skirt, looking like a blooming flower. The moment it bloomed, even the light cast by the sun was silenced.

The girl's slender neck leaned back into an elegant curve, and her arms stretched forward were like a perfect work of art... Sun Hang couldn't help but feel the urge to cut off the pair of arms with an axe.

Just like Venus, the beauty god with broken arms... something too perfect always makes people feel a savage impulse to destroy it.

"Does it look good?" Anna jumped lightly to Sun Hang, and the intoxicating girlish body fragrance penetrated into Sun Hang's nasal cavity without warning.

"It seems that you are quite idle during this period and you still have the intention to learn ballet." Sun Hang said.

"I can dance ballet all the time," Anna smiled, "This is what you taught me step by step, mom, how could I forget it?"

Teach her step by step?

Sun Hang imagined himself dancing ballet at once.

He couldn't imagine it.

This is too abstract.

"Back to the point, you just said 'It's not an illusion'. What does it mean?" Sun Hang did not continue to talk to Anna about the topic of ballet, but immediately returned to the topic.

"Mom, what you are looking for is indeed a moment." Anna stood less than twenty centimeters away from Sun Hang, with a well-behaved look on her face, "That is a bait signal, and its target is you, my dear mother."

"Who is it? The person who snatched the videotape... a trick?"

"I don't know either." Anna shook her head with regret, "but I could vaguely feel its emotions...it didn't seem to be hostile."

"No hostility?"

"How to say..." I have to say that no matter what expression a good-looking person looks good, Anna even frowning expression is full of fatal temptation. "I feel... it seems to have a prank mentality..."

"Prank?"

"Not all the tricks with self-awareness are malicious to humans. Mom, you should understand?" Anna continued, "For example, I am very curious about humans. I prefer to contact humans and learn the interesting things in their society... rather than destroying humans."

"The way you come into contact with humans is to kill a lot of people and then devour their emotions and memories?" Sun Hang glanced at her sideways, "Then I really want to thank you on behalf of humans."

"This is the most efficient way to integrate into human society, right?" Anna smiled. "What's more, when I think back on what humans did to us, I feel that what I did is not an exaggeration."

"In the beginning? What did humans do to 'us'?"

"Can't say it." Anna raised a finger like a jade-like onion in front of her lips, "The reason... you know."

Sun Hang suddenly felt angry.

He wanted to grab the finger and break it into two pieces.

"Damn, I must be a completely pervert in my subconscious mind." Sun Hang murmured in his heart, "and there is also a pervert with extreme violence and destruction."

"No." Anna whispered softly, as if she could understand Sun Hang's inner thoughts, "Mom is not a pervert... Those are just negative emotions belonging to the lower race of humans, they influenced Mom... the emotions and dregs in your memory... But for some tricks, these things are the sweetest nutrients."

Sun Hang didn't say anything, his gaze passed over Anna and looked into the distance.

The original stagnant time was not sure when it was resuming flow again. The two young women pushing the stroller carried the child out of the car. The human child wrapped in a diapers was learning to walk under the help of his mother. An older girl next to him was looking at them with interest.

A delivery guy in a blue uniform was riding an electric motorcycle and galloping past the non-motorized vehicle lane. A cyclist who intersected him stopped and turned around and cursed and said something.

A three-wheeled car selling fried food stopped at the edge of the sidewalk. The owner carefully looked around. After confirming that there was no urban management patrol nearby, he quickly opened the stall and placed the plastic chairs that were old enough to patina, instantly occupying nearly two-thirds of the space on the sidewalk.

A helicopter with the anomaly Investigation Bureau's emblem flew quickly over the sky, looking hurried, as if it was carrying out some urgent mission.

Just as Sun Hang looked at the sun in the sky again, something rolled over and stopped after touching Sun Hang's toes.

"Uncle...Uncle..." A timid voice woke Sun Hang up. Sun Hang looked in the voice and saw a boy who looked about seven or eight years old standing outside the fence and pointing at Sun Hang's feet, "Can you...return the ball to me?"

Sun Hang looked down and saw a little dirty football stopping quietly at his feet. He looked up and down at the little boy, then glanced at Anna standing beside him and smiled without saying a word, bent down to pick up the football, and walked towards the little boy.

Sun Hang handed the football to the little boy through the fence, and then said, "Don't play football on the roadside next time, it's very dangerous... Also, don't call me uncle, I'm not that old."

"Okay, okay! Thank you uncle... Thank you brother!" After the little boy who took the football thanked him in a hurry, he ran away.

"How is this world, isn't it very real?" Anna asked.

"But this is an illusion."

"This is not an illusion, it's all true. Every scene you see comes from the real memory of human beings." Anna said, "I just pieced them together."

"Why did you bring me here?" Sun Hang said in confusion, "What is your intention?"

"To remind mom, you have a fatal weakness," Anna said.

"Fatal?" Sun Hang frowned, "Weakness?"

"Mom, you named your ability 'wishes come true', right?"

"Do you know the origin of this ability?" Sun Hang's heart moved.

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!

"I don't know, since you call it 'wishes come true', then it's called 'wishes come true'." Anna continued, "This ability is very powerful, but it also has fatal limitations."

"You need to consume 'spoke casting resources' similar to mental power?" Sun Hang asked.

"No, it's not this restriction." Anna shook her head, "its biggest restriction is, here."

Anna stretched out her beautiful body and stretched her arms to the maximum extent to both sides.

"Illusion... Realm?"

"Mom, do you still remember...Maoyun Town?"

"You mean... Will the illusion affect my abilities?"

"When you cannot confirm whether the world you are in is real or illusory, your abilities will inevitably be affected." Anna said, "Whatever you want comes true, as the name suggests, will be influenced by your subjective cognition and thoughts. Once you fall into the illusion, no matter how earth-shaking you are in the illusion, your abilities will not have any impact on the real world... because in your cognition, that illusionary world is real."

"That's why my ability is invalid in Maoyun Town?"

"It's not all this." Anna suddenly showed a mysterious smile, "Mom, have you ever thought about the possibility that the devastated world outside is false, and the beautiful world in front of you is real."

"Where is the evidence?"

"How can this ability to achieve everything you want in the real world? It is precisely because you think the real world is illusory that you can achieve everything you want." Anna said with a smile, "And Maoyun Town is the real world, and your ability to achieve everything you want will be limited to your mind and cannot be realized."

Sun Hang: "I always feel like you are tying me."

"I just made a little joke with my mother." Anna took two steps back, "I just wanted to tell my mother to be careful in the future and not to easily believe everything you see, hear and touch... The boundary between reality and virtual has always been very blurry."

"So should I thank you?"

"If mom wants to thank me, why not stay in this world with me?" Anna said, "How great it is here, there is no trick, no war, no death and hunger... Whatever you want this place to become, what will it become... You can become the master of everything, and you can also become the... God of this world."

"It's boring." Sun Hang shook his head, "You're just like losing cheat codes when playing sandbox games. You may feel a little interesting at first, but you won't be tired of it after a long time."

"It seems that mom doesn't want to." Anna pursed her lips, looking disappointed.

"If I refuse, will you force me to stay here?" Sun Hang asked.

He just tried his best to achieve his wishes - as Anna said, in this virtual world, his ability seemed to be sealed, and no matter how he called, he would not react.

"No." Anna's expression returned to normal, "If you want to go back, I'll send you back now."

In a trance, Sun Hang found himself standing in front of the burning ruins again, and a crackling sound came from the inside of the burned wood, and a smoky and fire-like breath came to his face.

Sun Hang blinked, and he saw the scorched corpses everywhere standing up and wandering aimlessly among the ruins.

He blinked again and saw that everything around him had become a structure formed by flesh and blood. The towering buildings in the distance turned into strange towers of flesh and blood. The exposed steel-bearing structure turned into white bones. The twisted limbs were melted on the wall. One strange and familiar face after another squeezed on the outer wall, as if crying and laughing.

The sky was no longer pitch black, but it did not return to daylight, but was in a chaotic dark red tone, as if it was reflected by the flesh and blood on the earth.

Sun Hang blinked for the third time, and everything around him returned to its original state.

A soldier who had met at a roadblock ran over from a distance: "Sir! Are you okay?"

"I...I'm fine." Sun Hang turned around and looked at him with a little puzzled look, "What's wrong?"

"The drone photographed you standing here for a long time without moving. We thought something abnormal happened..." The soldier suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if you're fine... By the way, is there any problem with this place?"

"This place...no problem."

Sun Hang blinked, and the fully armed soldier immediately turned into a terrifying flesh-and-blood monster.

However, when Sun Hang blinked his eyes for the second time, the soldier changed back to his original appearance.

"Have you ever thought about whether the world you are in is real or illusory?" Sun Hang suddenly asked the soldiers.

The soldier was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he didn't expect Sun Hang to ask such a question. He scratched his head and said with a smirk: "Report to the Chief... I have never thought of such a problem before. I am a soldier, and a soldier only needs to execute orders."
