He fled, He chased him, and he could not escape even if he had wings.

When thinking of the Four Pillar Gods, for some reason, those lingering BGMs about the domineering presidents rang in Ash's mind. Unfortunately, the domineering presidents were the Four Pillar Gods, and Ash was just the poor little one who couldn't escape his fate and was the apple of everyone's eye.

——But the domineering president just wants to get love from the other party, while the four pillars want to exploit Ash’s surplus value!

Ash originally thought that becoming the Four Pillars God's sense of touch was at most equivalent to the Four Pillars God obtaining his body. However, he did not expect that the Four Pillars God also wanted to obtain his heart and insisted on unlocking more of his hidden contents, making him become the Four Pillars God's sense of touch from the inside out!

When Weisser committed suicide, Ash had not thought about the matter of touch. After all, he and Weisser were the only two candidates for touch. Now that Weisser was gone, the Four Pillars would naturally choose him. But he was not too worried, mainly because of three reasons:

First, besides him, there is also Mercury Trojan, and the transfer of tactile position may not be so fast. As long as there is a time difference, Ash must have slipped away before the forced promotion. However, judging from the situation in the illusion, Mercury Trojan is probably walking in front of Weisser, but I don't know whether she was killed by Black Crow or swallowed by the catastrophe;

Second, now that Senluo is about to perish, and no one knows how many Senluo people have died, what's the point of turning Ash into a tactile being? Asking him to help collect the bodies of Senluo people? He is not Harvey. No matter what the Four Pillars' purpose is, the value of Senluo Kingdom to the Four Pillars should have dropped significantly. It's too late to reduce the position, so why are they adding to it?

Third, there are actually quite a lot of bugs in the wasteland, but the Sanctuary Magicians don't need to be afraid of them at all. When he occasionally steps on a bug to death, Ash will deliberately shout blasphemous words such as "The tyrant is bursting with juice", "The treacherous minister is spewing shit", "The kind father is being burned at the stake", and "The prince has turned into a painting".

If his behavior was in the Blood Moon Kingdom, he would be sued for "insulting the reputation of others", even if he insulted the evil god. It is worth mentioning that Black Crow admired his behavior very much. Every time Ash stepped on a bug, Black Crow would stop and clap his hands.

Therefore, for a probationary employee whose value has greatly decreased, who often insults the leader, and who is not even the only candidate, Ash certainly does not think that he is still worth the Four Pillars God's efforts. Who knew that the Four Pillars God would really transform him into the most important touch, this heavy sense of trust, Ash really wanted to cry to death.

Weisser probably hasn't forgotten about the sense of touch, but with the apocalypse situation so deteriorating, being a sense of touch is always better than being a green beast; and Ash's legendary experience of escaping from the control of the Four Pillars Gods time and time again is enough for Weisser to give him enough trust.

However, without any external help, it was like the tide receding, and Ash, who was swimming naked, was suddenly surrounded by the Four Pillars.

Although Ash got rid of the illusion by "refusing to admit that my wife is a paper man", he still couldn't escape the gaze of the Four Pillar Gods. At this moment, his senses seemed to be loaded with some plug-in, and the world he perceived was completely different from the past. Everything in front of him was colorful and full of evil spirits. Even the silver lamp turned into a ball of color.

Perhaps in the next second, or perhaps after a while, he will be pulled into the hallucination again until he can no longer distinguish between the hallucination and reality.

Ash didn't have no solution. The simplest one was to escape from Senluo. Now that Zhishouhuo's flame had gone out, he could use the Wish Center to return directly to the Thousand Wishes Heaven.

However, this solution may not necessarily work. If Ash returns to the Thousand Wishes Heaven and the situation does not improve at all, and he even introduces the high-end and advanced Four Pillar Gods into the Thousand Wishes Heaven, wouldn't he become a guide?

But we can’t just ignore it.

Ash held his temples and took shallow, rapid breaths. The voices of Suo Zai, Le Zi, and Lao Ge echoed in his throat and mind. There was no doubt that his previous company did not have four bosses, and there was no Yong Jie Chang Zai among his colleagues, but...

But everyone else seemed real.

According to his situation, the only way to meet his former roommates is at weddings. Every time my brother calls him, he asks about his relationship status. During the call, he actually chats with his parents and conveys their latest instructions...

Their voices, tones, and reactions were exactly the same as in Ash's memory. In a trance, Ash was not sure whether the wedding was an illusion created by the Four Pillars or a reality he had forgotten...

If he could find a way to get out of the hallucination, could he go back home...even if it was just the home in the hallucination...even if it was just to see the family in the hallucination...

As soon as this thought arose, it was like the weeds on a midsummer night, which could not be cut or burned. When the wind blew, the weeds covered the sky.

Ash bit his thumb tightly, but still couldn't stop his thoughts from spreading: he just deliberately found a loophole to exit the illusion. On the other hand, if he wanted, he could stay in the illusion for the rest of his life, live a normal and quiet life, and be a successful office worker...

Is it possible that everything I experienced this year... was just... an illusion?

Suddenly, Ash loosened his teeth and watched his right hand being moved away by the silver block. He looked down and found that he had bitten his thumb and it was bleeding.

The silver block seemed to be saying something, but he could no longer hear it. The whole world became dazzling and chaotic, making him dizzy, as if urging him to quickly get out of this illusion.

But Ash came back to his senses at this time. He exhaled a breath of turbid air and said to the silver block: "I'm fine, I just haven't woken up yet. Give me some time."

The illusion of the Four Pillars of God hits the softest part of people's hearts. It will not only pull you in at all times, but even if you escape by chance, you will not be able to help but want to return to the illusion. Reality is too regrettable and too huge, so huge that it makes people cowardly and run away, but most people have to face it because they have no escape. But even so, they still dig many pits for temporary escape. The pit of Blood Moon is "enjoy life in time", the pit of Gospel is "obey the Gospel", and the pit of Senluo is "faith first".

The power of illusion lies in giving you a safe house that you can hide in forever. As long as you want to catch the sand that has already slipped through your fingers, you will unconsciously open the door of the safe house.

If Ash had just crossed over and the Four Pillars had used this service to test him, then Ash would have only been able to say, "Four Pillars, you are really good at judging people."

But now, besides the sand between his fingers that he cannot hold, he also has the softness around his fingers that he cannot give up.

However, what should he do to escape the gaze of the Four Pillar Gods?

...Are the Four Pillar Gods really watching ‘actively’?

Ash recalled his two experiences of contacting the Four Pillars God, both of which involved a process of "falling into the deep sea". It could be connecting to the virtual world or connecting to heaven, but in any case, if he wanted to make him a sense of touch, he had to "fall into the deep sea" first.

If the Four Pillars Gods were to watch Ash and Visser's live broadcast every day, and would drag the other into the deep sea to complete the KPI for the year when one of them died, Ash would not believe it. But Ash and Visser would not actively call the Four Pillars Gods, so there was only one possibility: Senluo had a detection mechanism, and once it detected that Ash or Visser was dead, the other one would be dragged into the deep sea to have a five-party meeting with the Four Pillars Gods.

The change in Ash's senses at this moment was the result of this mechanism taking effect, which kept pulling him into the deep sea.

Even if Ash could escape the illusion for a short time, he was absolutely unable to fight against the Four Pillars. Throughout the whole process, the only thing he could deal with was the unknown detection mechanism. Although it was unknown whether this mechanism was a miracle or a miracle, Ash could not dispel the curse on his body after using "Kill Me" and "Sword of Joy" many times, which meant that he could not brute force the detection mechanism.

He could only deceive the mechanism and make it give up on himself.

How can I make the mechanism give up reporting myself to the Four Pillars?

The correct method almost jumped out of Ash's mind impatiently: as long as the second candidate Weisser still exists, this mechanism will not take effect.

Let the stand become Youlan Weisser? Or...?

While thinking, Ash suddenly remembered that he picked up a note from Youlan Weisser in his hallucination, which read "Death is just an illusion."

Thinking about it carefully, this detail is actually very strange. Weisser never said such a thing to him, and Ash couldn't find any relevant explanation in his mind. It was almost inserted into Ash's illusion out of thin air, just like the person in charge of the Starry Project Team and the new game event "Hunting Angels", which were all ideas inserted by the Four Pillars.

But Ash is sure that "Hunting Angels" is the subjective will of the Four Pillars. They seem to want Ash to carry out this mission, and they are willing to use bonuses, future prospects and other big things to deepen Ash's impression of this mission in his illusion. On the other hand, the person in charge of the Stars and the note from Weisser were probably just their unintentional actions...

Or maybe...

Ash suddenly remembered their first meeting with Mercury Trojan. Mercury Trojan once mentioned a saying: the sense of touch and the Four Pillars coexist. The Four Pillars can use the sense of touch to contact reality, and the sense of touch can also use this to contact the reality of the Four Pillars.

There is no reason for the Four Pillars to suddenly plant the person in charge of the Stars and Weiss's note. This has nothing to do with the mission, so these strange messages can only be Ash's reinterpretation of 'reality' after he came into contact with the 'truth' of the Four Pillars!

那个繁星负责人虽然他没见过，但可能是从剑姬口里听说过。而薇瑟纸条，便应该是亚修借助四柱神视角所观察到的高维真实。

死亡只是一种错觉。

对于凡人来说，变成绿兽虽然比死亡更可怕，成为大法虽然比死亡更崇高，但都是死亡。然而对于四柱神这种级别的存在来说，绿兽和大法，真的算是死了吗？

亚修在时间大陆就知道，神主是有办法在地狱搜集齐灵魂碎片，帮助人起死回生。神主连绝对死亡都可以逃逸，更何况绿兽与大法这些次等死亡？

更关键是，薇瑟在幻觉里的情况，只是辞职！

连四柱神都不认为她彻底死亡！

亚修忽然激动起来，唤出《欧洛拉的术师手册》，打开《干员管理》，但他下一秒心里立刻凉了：幽兰薇瑟的干员立绘，已经变成灰白死沉。

对于亚修来说，《欧洛拉的术师手册》比四柱神权威多了。但就在他准备关闭界面的时候，却发现幽兰薇瑟的立绘里，多了一个跳动的菱形印记。

他点击印记，界面旋即弹出新消息：

「你的干员已进入死亡状态，是否继承其遗产？」
