Chapter 71 Human obsession is crazy
The wet feeling on Qianzhi's lower abdomen gave her goosebumps.
"You seem to have misunderstood something," she said, coldly brushing off the substance that still seemed to be lingering on her belly, "I never agreed to be with you."
"Also," she glanced around. "You created the illusion, and the 'door' as well."
She used an affirmative tone.
"I did create the 'door'."
The man spread his hands, and this humanistic action revealed a terrifying inhumanity in him.
"But I just built a simple framework for this illusion, adding some boring settings. Everything inside is just stupid self-hypnosis of humans."
The moment he mentioned humans, it was as if some garbage had touched his feet, and his tone of disgust made it seem as if he was going to crush them all in the next moment.
"'Setting'? You said 'witch', 'rage and gluttony'." Chizhi murmured, "So the illnesses of these sentinels were inflicted on them by you."
"What a smart flower." The man smiled, and a little black mist surged in his black pupils, then hid in his eyes again.
"This is just the beginning. Humanity needs to realize its sins and know that it is no longer worthy of controlling the world, just as it was on the verge of extinction in the past."
Although he didn't explain it clearly, Qianzhi understood that the "past" he was referring to was the end of the world.
"Even though they are weak, they survived." Qianzhi took two steps back.
The black water noticed her retreat and surged mournfully around her ankles.
The low-pitched humming sound made her temple ache.
"Indeed," the man raised an eyebrow. His humanoid movements became smooth and realistic under the repeated manipulation of simulated muscles. "Ants will always find ways to survive because they are very good at using lies and despicable displays of weakness."
"So my Chizhi," the man tangled Chizhi's black hair between his slender fingers and brought it to his lips for a kiss, "They are very good at using you and controlling you. You will find this out very quickly."
Use her? Control her?
Qianzhi seemed to have thought of something and his expression became serious.
The dark surroundings suddenly trembled.
The figures of the man and the silver-haired boy in front of him trembled with the vibration, as if the morning mist was about to be dispelled.
"Human obsession really has no bottom line, and it's even crazier than I imagined." The man raised the corner of his lips.
Their obsession can be so terrifying that it subverts all their cognition, turning black into white, just to get what they want.
She was so crazy that even he, the mastermind who created the illusion, couldn't touch her more deeply.
They project their endless desires into illusions, constructing an illusory world in which they indulge themselves.
And tried every possible way to get her——
There was another violent tremor.
This dark space was shaking and about to break apart.
"What a pity, he came so quickly." The man's pupils shrank into a slit.
All the thick dark colors surged up in an instant, and flowed past Qianzhi before being completely absorbed by the man.
She felt as if countless slippery and cold tentacles were covering her entire body, and sticky liquid was flowing on her skin.
She got goose bumps.
"Hey, don't touch Qianzhi, and don't play any tricks on me!" Cui's silver wings cut off the man's black tentacles.
"Don't be like that, little butterfly," the man said, his lips curled up. "We are partners for now, but maybe in the future, we can be legitimate competitors."
——Or perhaps, a killer.
As the darkness disappeared, his and Cui's figures also slowly disappeared.
"Wait! If you want to kill me or devour me, you should at least open this illusion first!" Qianzhi wanted to grab the black water before it turned into dust.
“What a pity! I wasn’t the one who sealed this illusion, so I prepared some small gifts for these greedy ants outside the illusion.” Only the man’s voice remained echoing.
"I've said before, human desires never cease. So, I'll be here, waiting for you, Chizhi."
The darkness completely disappeared, and the illusory sunlight shone on Qianzhi's face again.
"Qianqian!" Lu Chenzhou's voice came from not far away.
After seeing the girl standing there upright, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't leave my sight suddenly, Qianqian. This is not a palace, but the suburbs. We might encounter danger—"
"What kind of danger could it be, Chen Zhou?" Qianzhi suddenly interrupted him.
“.” Lu Chenzhou opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word.
"There are no bugs, no monsters, not even the spirits of the Sentinels here," Chizhi asked. "So what danger do you mean?"
"Do you want me to answer for you? It's not about the danger, but you're worried that I'll find the key to this place?"
"So, have you, or you all, regained your cognition?"
But Qianzhi couldn't understand.
If you really regain all your cognition and rationality, why not choose to leave here as soon as possible.
Unless the body is devoured by a monster and only the soul remains, it continues to live in the illusion.
But according to what the man said, the sentinels and her body still exist.
But even if they didn't know the body still existed, why would they hide it?
"No, not all of it has recovered." Lu Chenzhou felt his throat was dry and he even lost the ability to speak fluently.
He was most afraid of the girl showing an indifferent expression. During this period of time, he had harvested her most beautiful smile, tasted her most delicious flavor, and had engraved everything about her into his bones.
"I just think it would be nice if Qianqian could live carefree in a place like this without any danger." He murmured.
Qianzhi walked to Lu Chenzhou and looked at him with her head tilted.
After a while, she unbuttoned his shirt one by one, which he had buttoned up so carefully, and touched him with her hands.
The feeling of the smooth palms sliding across his body and the warm breath spraying on his chest made Lu Chenzhou tighten his jaw.
She also twisted his tongue between her fingers.
The feeling of having the root of his tongue touched quickly made the corners of Lu Chenzhou's eyes turn lightly red.
But Qianzhi didn't look at him again, but confirmed that there was no trace of black mist on his hands.
Not him.
She crossed Lu Chenzhou and turned to walk towards the castle.
"Qianqian!" Lu Chenzhou wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Qianzhi's words.
"Don't follow me," she said.
Theo found that Qianzhi was walking back alone, so he quickly threw the sword in his hand aside and went to meet her, whispering about his rival.
"Where is Doctor Lu? Why did I let you come back alone? I said a civil servant is really unreliable - um -" He was halfway through his words when his lips were pinched by Qianzhi.
The girl squinted at him.
There was a look of measured indifference in his eyes, which made Theo feel as if his whole body was immersed in ice water and chilled.
"Qian, Qianqian?" The big lion blinked and spoke cautiously.
