Old Lan took out a stone, and Shadow Eleven was a little confused about what to do next.
His gaze fell on the stone, and Old Man Lan's eyes were filled with reluctance. He gave the instructions.
"Throw this stone to them, gently, don't break it."
If he were truly an Asura, he would know what to do.
"Be very gentle!"
Fearing that Ying Shiyi might not take it seriously, Elder Lan emphasized it twice.
"clear."
Ying Shiyi took the stone, looked at it for a few moments, but couldn't see anything unusual.
It's just... a very ordinary stone.
Why did Elder Lan say that this stone could determine the identity of Shura?
Ying Shiyi did not doubt Lan Lao's words, and she did not dwell on things she could not understand.
His consistent approach is to delegate problems to smarter people.
"Take two steps back. I have something to verify your identities. I'll throw it over, but remember to catch it with your shadow!"
The figure on the other side of the mist nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay!"
Shadow Eleven carefully threw the stone out.
The stone disappeared into the mist, but there was no sound of it landing.
The figure opposite clearly caught the stone and seemed to be examining it carefully, without replying immediately.
Ying Shiyi looked at Elder Lan questioningly, and Elder Lan nodded.
He then called out, "Shura, do you recognize this stone?"
The figure on the other side of the mist fell silent and did not answer immediately.
"Fake."
The instant after Elder Lan spoke, Shadow Eleven made a sudden move, piercing through the mist and shattering the two figures!
Once you've convinced yourself that an illusion is fake, it's much easier to break free from it.
After his figure disappeared, Elder Lan couldn't wait to speak.
"Put the stone back, be careful."
"clear."
The shadow of Shadow Eleven, attached to the stone, twitched, bringing the stone back with it.
He was more curious about something else.
"Old Lan, what if we're wrong and the other side is really there?"
Isn't this too brutal?
"If the other side is real, then it's even simpler."
Old Lan put the stone back into his backpack and shook his head with a smile.
“You said earlier that Shadow Ten came with Shura.”
You can't beat Shadow Ten, I can't beat Shura, and even if we all joined forces, we're still no match for them.
You don't need to worry about killing Shura. From what I understand, Shura values his life very much.
Shura's reputation is mainly based on two points:
They cherish life and love money.
Ying Shiyi's eyes lit up; he had clearly come up with a solution.
"After that, if anyone comes, whether they're real or not, just hit them first."
If you can be killed, you're not a Shura!
Even if it really is an Asura, it isn't!
"That's the most troublesome thing about illusions."
Old Lan rubbed his temples, clearly not in good spirits; he had been exhausted lately.
"You acted decisively earlier and were able to easily break the illusion because you had already convinced yourself that it was an illusion."
If you have no idea whether it's true or false, and you try to test the waters, you'll only make things worse and get yourself into a deeper mess.
Old Lan explained patiently,
"If you unleash a powerful attack while in an illusion, and the enemy easily catches it,..."
Deep down, you're more inclined to believe the other person is Shadow Ten, and that's how you fall into their trap.
For some reason, Lan Tianqi's own strength is indeed lacking, but he has a deep understanding of illusions and soul-related topics, and even Ying Jiu and Xiaoyao are not as good as him in some aspects.
Listening to Elder Lan's explanation, Ying Shiyi nodded emphatically.
Old Lan sighed and slowly said,
"You've been by my side for too long, it's been twenty years, hasn't it?"
Even Ninth Brother's knife would become dull if it wasn't used to cut a demon god for twenty years.
"You haven't been on the battlefield for too long, and you've gotten used to a peaceful life; your combat awareness is clearly lagging behind."
If it were Film Eleven twenty years ago, these things wouldn't have needed Lan Lao's reminder at all.
If life is too peaceful for too long, even a knife will become dull and a person will become dull.
Just as Shadow Eleven was about to say something, Elder Lan raised his hand to interrupt him, signaling him to continue listening.
"If I survive this mission and return to Earth, your duty of guarding it will end here."
Meeting is fate, but without parting, there is no joy of reunion. Life is a process of constant farewells and reunions.
You should do something you enjoy, like take a long vacation or something.
As he spoke, Old Lan gently rubbed his shoulders, which were a little sore, and chuckled softly.
"I've always felt that the work system at Film Eleven is inhumane. If it's not five days on, two days off, then at least five years on, two years off."
"Old Lan, I..."
For a moment, Ying Shiyi didn't know what to say.
In fact, the previous [Shadow Eleven] was persuaded to resign by Elder Lan.
After leaving his position as Shadow Eleven, he challenged those who had held the previous position one after another, rising to Shadow Four in twenty years, and now serves as the head of the Guardians of the Eternal Forest.
It is also another form of protection.
"Let's talk about it after we survive."
After saying that, Elder Lan opened the sleep pod and said seriously,
"I need to rest. The illusions will only get stronger and stronger, and I'm in a very good mental state right now, so I'm very vulnerable to them."
When someone comes, throw the stone at them. If they respond, then wake me up.
"good!"
Old Lan gave instructions,
“It’s 2:55 PM now. I’ve slept for 8 hours. Please check every 15 minutes to make sure I’m not hallucinating.”
There's nothing we can do; he's just too weak.
Since he knew he was holding others back, the only thing Old Lan could do was try his best not to hold others back and do his job well.
Trapped in a carefully laid trap by the demon god, he had essentially resigned himself to his fate.
