Lucky Ellie will be going in with the princess this time, since her fairy is too attached to that slime.
The plaza in front of the secret realm was packed with people, including many adventurers who had nothing better to do, who were squatting nearby watching the excitement.
If you're the first one rejected by the secret realm, you'll definitely be met with a wave of ridicule; this has become the norm when the secret realm opens.
"I'm so envious! I wish I could participate!"
"You, a mere martial arts apprentice, how laughable!"
"Hey, isn't that Ellie? She's here too?"
"That girl is very capable. She is meticulous in her work and beautiful. She is much better than some nobles."
"Wow, it's glowing over there, the secret realm is about to open."
The princess and her entourage appeared at the entrance, saw that the secret realm was open, and went in first.
The city lord's enforcement team is maintaining order in the vicinity. There are also many guards around to prevent any unforeseen events.
Luo Fan shrank his body, and the two slimes sat on Ai Li's shoulders, one on each side, which looked quite symmetrical.
The secret realm, here I come.
"This is... climbing stairs?" Although he knew about the training methods in the secret realm beforehand, Luo Fan was still somewhat disappointed when he saw the ever-ascending heavenly ladder.
The secret realm wasn't as grand as I'd imagined; it was as if a curtain had been drawn over it, obscuring the view ahead. The staircase ahead, step by step, slowly disappeared into the twilight.
Princess and Toria took the lead, stepping onto the stairs. After climbing several steps, they slowed down.
"Could it be some kind of illusion again?" Luo Fan wondered unconsciously, while at this moment Ai Li had already stepped onto the stairs.
"Really? I don't feel anything at all!"
Xiaoxue, standing to the side, just stared at him longingly. Unable to communicate telepathically, the little girl felt a little flustered. Not far away, Xianxian also turned to look this way; she didn't like the environment.
Luo Fan thought for a while, then merged his two clones into one and began typing in the blue area to comfort the girl.
"It's okay, we can communicate like this."
"Hmm, brother is so smart!" The two girls finally calmed down and looked around at their surroundings.
It's also very wide on the left and right, and you can't see where the boundary is.
"Master is walking too slowly, should we help them?" Noticing that Ellie was walking very slowly, Luo Fan jumped onto the steps and then pushed Ellie up the steps.
Looking back at the other challengers, he was surprised to find that very few of them had brought pets.
It wasn't until he saw someone bring in a pet, and then the pet instantly disappear, that Luo Fan roughly understood what was going on.
Pets that haven't developed their own divine consciousness probably don't even qualify for a challenge, so I'm still quite strong. As for that Xuanwu, it's probably too big, or perhaps it's too young?
After all, a thousand-year-old tortoise and a ten-thousand-year-old turtle are both ancient creatures.
However, since my master is unaware of my intentions, does that mean I can do whatever I want?
The calves are very springy, that's good.
My thighs are covered by the robe, it wouldn't be appropriate to crawl inside, I feel like I wouldn't be able to handle it, so I'd better not.
That waist, that figure, nice, very flexible.
What's with that expression on Ellie's face? Why is she frowning? She looks like she's in pain.
Why did Xianxian close her eyes too? Even Xiaoxue did. Could it be that they have all entered the real trial?
Besides the people still coming in, Luo Fan noticed that the adventurers around him all closed their eyes and slowly moved upwards.
The scene was somewhat eerie, as if there were walking zombies all around.
Suddenly, someone fell down the stairs and disappeared from the secret realm.
"Damn it, there really is an illusion. If you don't pass through it, you'll be kicked out." Luo Fan analyzed, glanced at Ai Li who was entangled by him, and immediately shrank back and jumped onto the steps above.
Still no response!
Let's keep climbing and see what's going on.
The square outside was bustling with activity, especially after a short while when someone was ejected from the plaza. Those who hadn't yet gone in grimaced, while onlookers burst into laughter, creating a cacophony of mockery.
"He's only been inside for less than half a minute, right?"
"It wasn't even half a minute, probably less than ten seconds. What a real man!"
"Mao's a real man! Look at that skinny guy, he probably couldn't last more than a few seconds in a brothel!"
Many adventurers pointed and whispered, and the man who had been lying on the ground blushed and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, more people were ejected, and the square was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Within the secret realm.
Not long after Luo Fan climbed to the front and overtook everyone, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
He had transformed into a human, seemingly his past self, and was now working a miserable job. His boss, with a menacing look in his eyes, was holding a poorly performing sales report and spewing something unintelligible from his mouth.
Luo Fan was confused and suddenly panicked. Had he traveled back in time?
Was everything that happened in the past just a dream? He didn't actually travel to another world?
Looking at the familiar body, the familiar figure before him, and the familiar work environment, Luo Fan was stunned.
She's actually back? What about my Alice? She's so clueless. And what about Xiaoxue, Liz, Xianxian, Huoyu, Daisy, and that lazy little Ziyu?
How can you live without me!
Seeing the boss's face gradually contort, Luo Fan didn't hesitate and threw a punch.
The pain of that car accident is still fresh in his memory. How could a mere illusion stop him?
The boss was torn to pieces, and the scene changed again. He turned into a slime once more, while the former dragon stared at him with its big eyes wide open.
"Come on, come here!" Luo Fan realized that this was all an illusion and adapted quickly. He even beckoned his tentacle to the other party in a mocking manner.
A burst of dragon breath erupted, shattering him into pieces, and then the dragon vanished.
"That's it?" The clone that had been left behind in a corner reappeared and pointed down at the tentacles, and the scene changed again.
Luo Fan was once again a person, but now he was surrounded by a group of mature and beautiful girls, including Ai Li, Li Si, and Xiao Xue.
They all had smiles on their faces, but their eyes held a strange quality, as if they were in heat. Their clothes were disappearing piece by piece, but they couldn't be seen clearly, creating a mysterious and hazy beauty.
"Wow, she's my type. Has the grown-up Ellie become so sexy?" Luo Fan was about to go over when the girls pounced on him, some even carrying staffs, which were quite conspicuous.
"Waaaaah~, this is murdering her husband!"
Seeing the staff light up continuously, Luo Fan felt a chill run down his spine and retreated until he fell to the ground. His body was then surrounded by various spells, and the scene shattered once again.
"So exciting! So thrilling! Could it be that the scenes here are reflecting our inner thoughts? That would be fun! Keep going, I want more!"
He turned into a slime again, the colorful scene before him disappeared, and Luo Fan returned to the steps, even appearing directly next to Ai Li.
"Is this illusion so fragile? Are you saying I can't even play in it?!"
"Could it have failed?" Looking at the familiar Ellie, who had returned to her current flat appearance, Luo Fan was very curious to see if Ellie would eventually grow into the shape of the illusion.
A master with a pure and lustful nature—I love just thinking about it.
Back on Ellie's shoulder, Luo Fan looked around and suddenly realized that the scene had changed again, except that a little girl had appeared, who looked a bit like Ellie when she was a child.
At that moment, a dark figure was relentlessly chasing her. The little girl, her face covered in blood and her bare feet bare, ran frantically, terrified of being caught by the shadowy figure behind her.
"Could this be her past?" Luo Fan was very curious and was about to jump over, but his body seemed to be not obeying his commands.
I tried changing the shape and constructing it according to my ideal design, and surprisingly, I succeeded.
"It feels so good to be human again!"
