After a moment, the black shadow slowly raised his slender and skinny hand, and then... passed Su Mu and reached out towards Yang Dongqing and others.
The smile on Su Mu's face gradually disappeared, and he pushed his brown glasses expressionlessly: "This is a bit rude."
After saying that, he directly grasped the black shadow's hand and said firmly: "You can only invite me today."
To be honest, Su Mu didn't want Black Shadow to invite others because it was too risky. Yang Dongqing was just a fool. After entering the dark illusion, there was no need to lie to him. As soon as Jasmine's voice came out, this fool would definitely open his eyes.
Zhao Chaoyao and others are no exception. I can hypnotize them and tell them not to open their eyes, but there is a disadvantage. Once my voice appears in the illusion, these people will definitely obey it.
The black shadow looked at his held hand with his scarlet eyes, was silent for a moment, and finally chose to pull Su Mu and slowly walk into the darkness.
"You guys go wait outside. Once I find Tingting, I will set the nearest house on fire." Su Mu's calm voice disappeared into the darkness.
Darkness, deathly darkness.
Sumu, with his eyes closed, was led by his good friend and walked in the darkness, just like a guide dog leading a blind person.
Gradually, various voices began to appear in his ears: Ye Fanyu, Yang Dongqing, Zhao Zhaoyao, Tingting...
It was still the same idiotic illusion as before. Su Mu was no longer able to complain. His attention was not focused on the illusion, but on himself.
In order to hypnotize Tingting this time, he did not use up his overflowing mental energy, which resulted in a huge burden on his body. He could even hear the creaking sound of his bones all over his body with every step he took.
He began to bleed; blood flowed out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. But he still did not stop, even though he might die.
Sometimes he even thought that he did not die at the hands of the nightmare monster, did not die at the hands of Ye Fanyu, and did not end up dying from walking.
But it doesn’t matter anymore. Even if he doesn’t die now, he will die when he returns to reality, because he has not become a transcendent until now.
"Sumu, do you want to become a superhuman?" A strange voice sounded in the darkness.
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Su Mu's lips. He knew that the illusion had sensed his wandering thoughts and started to play new tricks.
“Sumu, I am the only one who can help you. The source of the shadow power is hidden deep in this darkness. As long as you seize it, you can become a transcendent, and I can escape.
You may not believe me, but you know your physical condition well. You are going to die no matter what, so why not take a chance?
If you win the bet, you still have a chance of survival. If you lose the bet, there is no loss, because you are going to die soon anyway."
Hearing this, Su Mu smiled slightly: "It's a very tempting proposal."
In the darkness, the strange voice revealed a hint of joy: "You are a smart person and will definitely make the right choice."
Su Mu's smile widened: "It's just... With a waste like you who can't even get out of the black shadow illusion, what qualifications do you have to help me? Are you worthy?"
The voice in the darkness fell silent.
After a long while, he said, "I was just careless for a moment, that's why I ended up here. If..."
“Hahaha… losers always have reasons, but winners just stand there, and that is the only truth!
Go away, no matter who you are, don't show up and embarrass yourself."
At this point, the sounds in the darkness completely fell silent.
After a long time, Su Mu felt the black shadow's hand disappear, and then he opened his eyes.
And just as he expected, when he opened his eyes again, he saw Tingting again. He wiped the blood off his face with a handkerchief and walked towards Tingting.
This is a cemetery. Many tombstones are standing crookedly, and Tingting's small body is squatting in front of a tombstone crying.
"Grandma... don't you want Tingting anymore?"
"Tingting brought you your favorite dumplings."
The tender voice of a child carries a sadness that even adults cannot bear.
Tingting, who was crying, suddenly felt a big hand touching her head.
She turned around and saw a gentle smiling face.
"Big brother!" Tingting said in surprise with red eyes.
"Tingting, be good. Grandma doesn't abandon you." Su Mu said gently.
"Big brother, do you know where grandma has gone?" Tingting looked at Sumu with her big black and white eyes full of anticipation.
Su Mu smiled gently: "Of course I know, big brother not only knows where grandma is, but also your father, mother, and sister. Big brother also knows where they are."
"Really? Big brother! That's great!" Tingting jumped up happily, her face filled with a happy smile. That smile was very pure and clean. This was the first time Su Mu saw Tingting smile so happily.
"Of course it's true. Big brother never lies." Su Mu touched Tingting's little head.
"Then big brother, please tell Tingting where they are?"
"They are...playing hide-and-seek with Tingting. They will appear when the time is up."
"How long will we have to wait?" Tingting asked, tilting her head.
Su Mu smiled slightly and took out a dark gold pocket watch from his arms. The mysterious Ouroboros symbol came into Tingting's eyes.
"See this pointer? When it hits twelve, they will all appear."
Tingting clapped her hands excitedly: "That's great! That's great! Tingting is going to see mom, dad, grandma and sister!"
"Tingting, take this pocket watch. Big brother has something to do."
"Okay, big brother." Tingting smiled sweetly.
Afterwards, Sumu came to a tree not far away, took out cigarettes and a lighter, lit all the cigarettes, and threw them on the dead leaves, guiding the flames little by little, and finally ignited the whole tree, with flames and black smoke rising into the sky.
"Tingting, let's play a game?"
When Tingting heard the word "game", she was obviously a little scared and curled up unconsciously.
Su Mu smiled gently and took the pocket watch from Tingting: "This game is called Time Acceleration."
"Time accelerates?" Tingting is a child after all, and was attracted unconsciously.
"Yes, actually my big brother is a magician who can speed up time."
"Really, big brother? After time is accelerated, can Tingting see mom and dad soon?"
"Of course it's true. Have you forgotten that big brother never lies? Okay, now big brother is going to start the show."
Su Mu loosened the pocket watch in his hand and let it fall naturally. He clamped the chain at the end between his fingers. As he exerted a little force, the dark gold pocket watch began to move like a pendulum.
