But I didn't realize that if I didn't look or listen carefully, I wouldn't perceive anything.
Or to put it another way, if I didn't see these things, I probably wouldn't remember those things at all.
Is my memory starting to deteriorate?
That can't be right. I don't think even if I've regressed a lot, I should be able to remember things that happened recently...
At least, you should remember Fatty Zhou and his friends!
But when I heard that crying sound from afar just now, I didn't immediately realize who it was.
After listening carefully for a while and trying to recall the details, he could barely remember that it was Xiao Yuan.
The things in front of me started changing faster and faster, but there were also some things and people that I didn't remember at all.
A weathered man... and a gentleman in elegant clothes... the shopkeeper...
I'm already a bit overwhelmed.
And I could hear clearly that Yiyi was calling out to me, trying to calm me down...
But I can't calm down at all right now!
I was vaguely accepting everything before me, and even felt as if I was about to become immersed in it.
The melodious music lingered in my ears without stopping.
Amidst this music and fantasy, I gradually became more and more numb to my instincts.
In the hazy state, I suddenly realized that this was an illusion!
No, I need to stay alert!
I quickly mustered my thoughts and forced myself to concentrate and stay focused.
He even shouted in his heart some exorcism incantations that he had heard and learned from various old Taoist priests and Master Anxie.
In reality, these things were all just to strengthen my mental fortitude.
I'm not sure if it's actually useful, but I do know that it brings me some positive energy and helps my body get closer to a positive state.
"break!"
I made a hand gesture, and in an instant, all the shouts and wails that had been swirling around my ears disappeared!
The space before me instantly became quiet and clear. Looking at the dark yellow hue of the secret room, I was filled with emotion.
That's it! That's the color!
My vision was finally clearer than before, and I could see different faces.
But after listening carefully, I found that the melodious tune had not disappeared; it just seemed to linger slowly, as if it were echoing from the horizon.
I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to relieve the pain, and then I finally heard the girl's cry.
This time I could hear it clearly, and the girl was shaking my arm the whole time.
That's when I realized that the reason I hadn't been able to throw a punch freely every time was because the girl was pulling me back.
The dragon scales that had just grown on me only lasted for a short time; now my arms are covered in small bumps.
I took a closer look at the girl; her delicate face was now tightly pressed together, and her face was flushed red.
What's even stranger is that her body is trembling involuntarily, as if she is extremely exhausted.
I wondered to myself, could the girl also be feeling unwell?
That shouldn't be the case. If she had the same hallucination I just had, she definitely wouldn't have been able to pull me back in time.
At that moment, I noticed that her fingers had turned slightly white from gripping my clothes.
Tears seemed to be welling up in her eyes.
My heart skipped a beat. I first checked myself and found that I was safe and sound, with nothing seriously wrong.
Then I immediately asked Lei Jijian what happened to Yiyi while I was unconscious.
“Master, I’m not quite sure either… The girl seems to be feeling a bit unwell… Should we leave?”
The girl was calling you, but I was calling you too, didn't you hear me?
After Lei Jijian said that, I was immediately dumbfounded.
I didn't hear anything at all, I just heard some strange noises.
Buzzing and whirring...
Could this be a telepathic message from Lei Jijian?
I asked again, and Lei Jijian then told me that he had been calling my name the whole time.
I was completely dumbfounded.
After thinking about it carefully for a while, I was able to barely manage to explain it.
It's possible that the girl was holding my arm the whole time, which impacted my actions, but Lei Jijian was just calling out to me.
When I heard the girl's voice before, there was also a kind of wailing, only the human voice and the wailing alternated...
Seeing Yiyi's state of mind, I quickly grabbed her shoulders and gently shook her while calling out her name.
"Yiyi, yiyi!"
The girl seemed to suddenly come to her senses.
Lei Jijian told me that Yiyi was clearly unaffected just now, but after I woke up, she suddenly became like this too.
I am amazed again, I think this is probably due to a perceptual reason!
The girl's eyes were vacant. She squatted on the ground, seemingly helpless, and remained motionless.
I thought she was also frightened.
Then, a crystal-clear tear slid out of her eye and fell to the ground.
My heart skipped a beat, and I asked, "You...how come?"
What did you just see? Did it remind you of something?
I spoke softly, and then I glanced at the mural in front of me again. It was still a blurry mess, but the human figures from before were gone.
I know very well that this mural is based on my own observations and experiences.
Otherwise, its targeting would be too strong.
Did the girl also see the female ghost with the protruding face from earlier?
If that's the case, then her current weak state is not surprising.
The girl simply turned her head slowly, appearing completely mechanical.
She pursed her lips and stared at me without saying a word.
I had a bad feeling. Could it be that something had taken over the girl's body at this moment?
There's a hint of resentment in her eyes right now.
What should we do?
We were already unfamiliar with the place, which put us at a huge disadvantage.
If there were fewer powerful combatants like this young woman, I would be even more panicked.
I looked around anxiously, trying to find a way to break the deadlock.
But all that's left is a stone platform and the mural.
The person below the stone platform is still wearing the blue armor.
At least for a moment, the hem of the clothes was still. If it suddenly started moving again, I think I would have an even bigger headache.
I asked Lei Jijian, and he was also at a loss.
"If you ask me, Master, we should just break this place open and take the girl out first!"
