Chapter 76: Illusion or Reality
The moment my eyes met with my colleague's, I hesitated for a moment.
I originally wanted to use "Fear Projection" to try whether I could use my supernatural powers in the illusion, but looking at my former colleague, she and I have always had a good relationship, I was still a little hesitant.
This is an illusion, no one will be hurt even if I do anything.
After looking at her again, I decided to use the mildest level of "fear projection". At this time, I missed the yellow peel a little, so I could use the yellow peel for experiments.
"Ji Ling? What are you thinking about? I've been talking to you for a long time but you ignored me." A colleague asked in confusion.
I frowned slightly. I had just used "Fear Projection" but there was still no reaction. Even I didn't feel any negative effects or mental stimulation.
Is it possible that I can’t use my abilities in a fantasy world?
I was a little confused for a moment. If I didn't have the second vision, it would probably take some effort to find a breakthrough in the illusion.
But I quickly calmed down. If I relied too much on those abilities, wouldn't that be like admitting that I'm useless?
Taking a deep breath, I looked around again.
Unlike the day of the apocalypse, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, with no sign of rain at all.
Not to mention trying to get Morse code information from the sound of rain.
It seems that the only way to break through is to find a breakthrough elsewhere.
Thinking of this, I quickly left the office.
There is always a false part in the illusion. As long as I can find the unreasonableness in it, there is a chance that I can break it.
I went to other colleagues' workstations and chatted with them, trying to find something irrational in their expressions and words.
"Brother Wang, please help me." I found one of my colleagues and said to him with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Brother Wang raised his head and looked at me with some confusion.
"Well, I have something to do tonight. Could you please organize these materials for me? Please, please!" I smiled and observed his reaction.
The colleague I remember was older than all of us, didn't like to help, and especially liked to act like a leader and educate us young people. When this happened, he would probably give me a half-day ideological and political class.
If he agrees to help, then I can find the logical inaccuracies and thus find the key to breaking the illusion!
But Brother Wang frowned, looked at me with great disapproval, adjusted his glasses and said:
"Xiao Ji, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should finish your own work. Everyone in the company has their own work to do. You weren't like this before. If you ask me, you've just learned bad habits from Xiao Li and the others."
Brother Wang was still talking about all kinds of big truths, but I was not in the mood at all. His performance was flawless and completely consistent with his personality, even his speaking habits were the same.
But it doesn’t matter, because after the real Brother Wang teaches me a lesson, he will definitely find a way to report me to Huang Baopi.
If it is an artificial illusion, this detail would most likely not exist.
"Um...Brother Wang, you are right. I was indeed rude. Sorry, I will finish it myself." After saying this casually, I went back to my workstation to do some work.
While paddling, I observed every detail around me.
After a while, a colleague came up to me.
"Ji Ling, I heard that you got angry with Huang Ba...Boss today?"
"Well...I guess so..." I said.
I was really a little absent-minded. Everyone's oral habits were so realistic, without any flaws. I looked at the colleague sitting next to me. He had the habit of picking his scalp and then putting it in front of his nose to smell it.
At this moment, he had just finished picking his scalp, put it to his nose and smelled it, then frowned and continued picking.
Even small habits like this are the same.
Well, since I can’t find it, I’ll go see what’s going on with the boss.
Putting aside my doubts for the moment, I picked up a notebook from the desk and went to Huang Baopi's office.
I stayed at the door for a few seconds, then walked in without knocking.
Just to kill him by surprise.
The moment I entered the door, Huang Bapi was adjusting his wig. When he saw me come in, he was stunned for a moment, and then an embarrassed and angry look appeared on his face.
"Get out there and knock again!"
But I couldn't help laughing out loud, and this laugh made Huang Baopi even more angry.
"roll!"
I held back my laughter and turned to leave, but didn't knock on his door again.
Given Huang Baopi's temper, he would probably be curious about why I went to the office, and even if it was embarrassing, he would still call me and ask me.
Sure enough, after a while, my cell phone rang. It was Huang Baopi calling.
"I have a meeting later. Please come to my office at 5 pm."
Hearing him say that, I frowned.
Everything in this illusion now feels too real.
I finally made it to five o'clock and listened to Huang Baopi talking nonsense for half an hour. It was basically just a show of force, a slap in the face and then a sweet treat.
I couldn't wait to get home, and the moment I opened the door, the room was still decorated as it was before the apocalypse, and everything was as usual.
I rushed to the bedroom, found the worn-out teddy bear, and then found a pair of scissors in the drawer to cut open the body of the teddy bear.
A small piece of meteorite engraved with cloud and thunder patterns was hidden in the cotton.
I became even more confused.
If the timeline of this illusion is before the end of the world, then the meteorite is indeed in the little bear.
But the problem is, before the end of the world, I didn't know about the existence of this meteorite.
Is it unreasonable? It is very reasonable, so reasonable that it makes my spine chill.
"Ji Ling, it's okay. Just look for it slowly and you will eventually find a flaw." I slapped my face hard, trying to calm myself down.
I spent the whole day in a daze, and until the evening, I still couldn't find anything unreasonable.
At this moment, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a muffled thunder.
I looked out the window hopefully.
It's going to rain, and if it does, maybe I can hear Morse code.
As expected, after a while, it started to rain heavily. I listened carefully to every syllable and sound of the rain.
There were no long notes, no patterns, it was really just an ordinary heavy rain.
I felt a little disappointed and fell on the bed in a daze, my mind racing. Looking at the familiar light on the ceiling, I couldn't help but pinch myself hard again. The pain was so real that I gritted my teeth and let go.
Looking at her thighs that turned red from being pinched by me, I began to have some doubts.
Does the so-called doomsday really exist? Perhaps it's just a dream. Are those monsters, superpowers, the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation, and the Brotherhood of Steel all just a long dream?
Thinking of this, I feel a little relieved. It would be great if it was just a nightmare.
But I don’t know why, but I feel a little... empty.
