Escape from Paradise (XIV)
The new big spider turned into a pile of pieces again.
Fu Fenglou put away his sword, and was unusually confused: "Is this the same one?"
"Based on its hatred for me, it is very likely," Xu Wei kicked the spider parts, frowning, "Can it really be resurrected? Or is there a ghost? Or..."
She paused and looked at the others: "This is my hallucination--"
"You are all fake."
Li Xia cried out, "Sister, why do you think so much? Don't divide the team members!"
Fu Fenglou smiled: "Sister, it makes sense to think so, but I am not hallucinating."
Xu Wei looked at Lu Fanye: "What about you?"
He murmured: "It should be true."
Xu Wei: "What was my favorite dish last week?"
Lu Fanye immediately replied: "Stir-fried pork with peppers."
"Okay, I believe it," Xu Wei shrugged and spread his hands, "Sorry everyone, I may be a little too suspicious."
The four of them continued walking, and Xu Wei moved next to Lu Fanye.
He lowered his head: "Are you worried?"
Xu Wei shook his head.
In fact, the anchor points she set for Lu Fanye since entering the cave school have not shown any abnormalities, and the performances of Fu Fenglou and Li Xia are also consistent with the impression she has.
When she mentioned the hallucination just now, it was only because she later tasted a subtle sense of something wrong. This feeling was hard to pinpoint, but it was like a string gently scratching in the mind, forcing people to pay attention.
She simply tentatively proposed a guess. If there really was someone behind the scenes controlling everything before her eyes, perhaps pointing it out could break the deadlock. This would be better than being trapped here and being wasted by endless resurrected spiders.
Seeing that she was lowering her head, Lu Fanye thought she was looking at the blind box toy in her hand, so he took the initiative to hand it to her.
Xu Wei's eyes lit up, he took the toy from Lu Fanye and looked it up and down.
The gray ghost wearing a crown has a simple line drawing of his face, squinting his eyes and pouting his lips to look serious. He holds it in his palm and feels soft and solid, as if the hard contents are covered with a layer of leather.
The Panic Series...Why is it called like this?
She glanced at the two people walking in the front row and said, "I'm just wondering why we all ran away at the same time when Li Xia shouted 'run', even though we all have abilities. Xiaolou and I don't need to be that afraid of its abilities."
"If my first reaction was to run away because of my changed habits, then what about Xiaolou? Why did you run?"
The two people in the front row stopped walking. Fu Fenglou turned around in astonishment, his blue hair drawing an arc in the air: "Sister, do you suspect that I am not real?"
"But how can I prove to myself that I am real?"
Xu Wei didn't answer, but threw and caught the little ghost in his hands, again and again.
“Pah.”
“Pah.”
In the passage where you could hear a pin drop, little ghosts kept flying up and down, hitting everyone's heart with a dull sound.
Lu Fanye stood next to Xu Wei, facing Fu Fenglou and Li Xia, forming a strange confrontation.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"puff."
Xu Wei smiled and broke the silence: "You can doubt me, maybe I am hallucinating. In fact, I can't even tell myself clearly - are the words I say and the actions I take now what I originally wanted to do?"
"Is my consciousness free, or... is it influenced by someone?"
After saying this, the little ghost was thrown into the air.
In an instant, he chose it as the leader and Xu Wei took a few steps back alone.
The colorful canvas in front of my eyes was torn into pieces in an instant, the light in the passage became distorted and blurred, the shadows of people continued to multiply and overlap in chaos, the music was stuck, and time and space gradually disappeared and dissolved like faded film.
The humidity in the air suddenly increased, soaking through the clothes.
The clear sound of water dripping.
Xu Wei suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Li Xia opposite him.
Cold drops of water were dripping from the top of my head, and a shallow layer of puddles had accumulated at the soles of my feet.
Both of them were tightly tied in a cocoon made of spider silk, which was suspended in the air, nearly ten meters above the ground.
She turned her head with difficulty, trying to take in everything in front of her.
This is a huge spider's nest.
There was a deep pit in the center, with spiders of all sizes constantly crawling out of the pit, forming dense dark black waves that rushed toward the surroundings of the nest, where there were countless holes bored by insects for them to crawl out.
Some spiders that are born weak are crushed by the larger ones as soon as they are born, and large spiders also fight and devour each other.
Xu Wei saw with his own eyes a spider with ten legs and eight eyes being bitten by several small spiders. After it fell, all the spiders nearby rushed over and quickly ate it up. The ones that devoured the most quickly swelled up in size, and their eyeballs grew more and more.
"Is this their way of evolution?" Li Xia smacked her lips. "It's more evolutionary than the theory of evolution."
Just like the big fish eating the small fish.
Xu Wei: "Don't look anymore, find out where they are."
Looking up, there were countless spider silk cocoons on the top of the nest, with dead bodies trapped inside, many strange creatures tied up, and even a few plastic models with broken hands and feet. The cocoons of the two were not far from the deep pit in the middle, but looking forward, they did not see Lu Fanye and Fu Fenglou.
"Behind, behind!" Li Xia pouted at her.
Xu Wei tried hard to turn his neck, but could only barely glimpse part of the area behind him with his peripheral vision.
Li Xia sighed: "They are still unconscious. Nothing will bite us for a while. How about we wait for them to wake up first?"
Xu Wei looked at him: "You woke up a long time ago?"
"No, I woke up a little earlier than you," he said. "How did you realize something was wrong?"
Xu Wei looked behind him: "I can't control my consciousness."
No matter whether Li Xia ran away as soon as she said she would, or she was curious and wanted to check the corner but was persuaded to go back by a few words - with her personality, since there was no danger ahead and she had to find the blind box, she would never give up any place where clues might exist, not to mention that there were monsters stationed there, and the possibility of a blind box was not small.
What made her even more surprised was the attitude of Fu Fenglou and Lu Fanye. They also tacitly agreed not to go to the corner.
She should have realized that something was wrong at that time, but her consciousness seemed to be intentionally guided and easily overlooked the key point, sliding down the other side until the six-eyed spider appeared repeatedly. She realized that something was wrong again. This might be her subconscious saving herself.
Xu Wei hated the feeling of having his brain tampered with.
She asked back, "How did you wake up?"
Li Xia: "The same spider appeared behind me and wrapped its web around my head, scaring me awake."
"The third one?"
He was surprised: "How do you know? Did you open my brain to see what I was dreaming about?"
Xu Wei shook his head solemnly: "Our dreams may be connected."
She told him the general situation before the hallucination was lifted, and compared a few small details that were not easy to repeat with him one by one.
Totally consistent.
Li Xia shook his neck, horrified: "After entering this underground palace, can my brain circuits be connected to the Internet?"
"I have a guess," Xu Wei frowned, "When we first met the spider, did you have any particularly strong thoughts?"
He was rarely embarrassed: "Yes, I really want to escape. Don't laugh at me, I'm really afraid of this kind of thing."
"And then?"
"Later, I really didn't want to go into that corner because it was so disgusting."
Xu Wei first thought for a moment: "You don't want to..."
Then it suddenly dawned on me: "That's why I ran away, and why I changed my attitude and didn't want to turn the corner... because you are the one who influenced my consciousness."
"Ah?" Li Xia was at a loss: "I'm not a person with special abilities, and there's no such bug in the props. If I could really affect other people's consciousness, I should have entered the A-level book a long time ago, right?"
Xu Wei shook his head: "No, I was wondering if I might have also influenced your consciousness in reverse."
"At first I followed you, but then I stopped and used my skills. What were you thinking at that time?"
Li Xia thought for a while and said, "I don't have any idea. I'll just leave it to you to do it. I don't have to do it anyway."
Xu Wei: "Were you afraid at that time? Were you afraid of this kind of thing?"
Li Xia's eyes suddenly widened: "I'm not afraid. I still have the time to chat with my brother."
"This is unscientific. I should have stayed away from it. Those things are disgusting!"
Xu Wei frowned: "Not only that, you also drew a mark on the broken limb and greeted the second spider. Most importantly, you are still not afraid now."
"Damn it!" Li Xia finally realized what was happening and yelled, "Why am I not scared?"
"Because I'm not afraid. My consciousness is currently dominant," Xu Wei said solemnly, "and I can sense a little bit of your psychological fluctuations now. This is not good."
Li Xia: "Why is it not good? I——"
"I didn't think of anything else. I was just very surprised." Xu Wei said what he wanted to say. Seeing his surprise and seriousness, he said, "I suspect that as time goes by, our consciousness will become closer and closer, infinitely converging, until finally, we share the same brain."
Is the consciousness formed after sharing the brain still theirs?
Li Xia felt a chill and bared her teeth: "Don't let me find out who did it."
Xu Wei glanced at him.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing," she said, "so can you use the props to get us out first?"
Li Xia was shocked again: "You can already know what my props are through your consciousness?"
"No, I guessed."
"ox."
Li Xia's props were varied, including all kinds of strange and weird gadgets. He tried to summon dozens of tools and finally used a giant pair of scissors to cut the extremely tough spider silk.
He didn't notice it when he was tied up, but when he escaped from the spider web, Xu Wei suddenly felt sore and uncomfortable all over, his hands and feet felt limp and numb like noodles, as if all the energy he had just recovered had been sucked away out of thin air.
"This spider silk can't be poisonous, right? Maybe it will even suck our vitality, just like in the comics. No, I don't read comics at all, you are influencing me again." Li Xia muttered, took out a tape measure and aimed at the cocoon where Lu Fanye was.
"Watch carefully, this ruler will bounce out in a moment, and we'll step over it. We only have one chance, and if it bounces off the right side, there's nothing I can do."
Xu Wei said solemnly: "I don't read many comics."
That subtle feeling of mental confusion came over me again.
The two of them looked up at the same time and exchanged glances with Lu Fanye and Fu Fenglou in the distance.
They woke up.
