Chapter 161 "Where is Yang Jiayue?"



Xiao Yao wants to kill Xie Xuan.

Except for Yang Jiayue who had been accidentally killed by Xie Xuan, Chongming, Ding Qiaoyun and Song Zhixian all agreed in the car.

Xie Xuan was still standing at the door of the car. She watched the farce unfolding in front of her, standing there silently like a statue.

She still remembered that this was an illusion, and the people in front of her were just her illusions.

In other words, even if she were in reality now, she would not admit it.

She stood there and did nothing, quietly waiting for Xiao Yao to come and kill her.

The act of being killed would act as a trigger, bringing an end to all the absurd and ridiculous things she was experiencing.

Whether it was entering a new illusion, falling into reincarnation or ending the illusion, Xie Xuan was even a little impatient.

Xiao Yao took out a gun from his waist and pointed it at Xie Xuan's head.

Xie Xuan had tried to have her head cut off but failed to die, but she didn't know if she would die if someone shot her in the head, and now she could give it a try.

Xiao Yao pulled the trigger without hesitation. Xie Xuan did not dodge, and the bullet hit her forehead exactly.

But the strange thing was that there was no pain, and Xie Xuan fell backwards due to inertia.

What's even more bizarre is that she was originally standing on the narrow stairs to get on the bus, but when she fell down she didn't encounter any obstacles.

Her eyes were always open, and she saw the black on the roof, but there seemed to be some patterns rotating inside the black.

Before Xie Xuan could see clearly, she suddenly felt her eyes become very dry.

She blinked, and when she opened her eyes again, the back of the upper bunk bed frame was in front of her again.

Is it that the illusion has begun to cycle, or has she left the illusion and returned to the real world?

The dim sleep light in the car was on. Xie Xuan sat up and touched his forehead. There was no sweat at all.

It started to be different from the illusion.

Xie Xuan opened the system panel. Her mental value was 10 points lower than before going to bed and in the illusion just now, only 85.

She looked up at another number, and this time her health had returned to full.

There are differences, but there are also similarities, and it is difficult to tell where she is now.

Xie Xuan raised her head and looked across. As expected, the bed opposite her was empty and Xiao Yao was not in the car.

This time she looked at the time again. It was 12:14 in the morning. She hadn't paid attention to the time in the illusion just now, but it was less than three hours since they fell asleep.

Xie Xuan got out of bed and turned around, and found that Chongming, who was guarding in front of the vehicle this time, was standing there with his back to her.

He was wearing a complete protective suit and a helmet. In fact, it was difficult to tell who he was just by looking at his back, because the three men in the car were almost the same height.

She took two steps forward and turned to look at the upper bunk. The three people on the upper bunk were sleeping soundly.

Xie Xuan didn't dare to let her guard down. Compared to the last time when she kept losing her memory and reincarnating in the moth man's territory, this time was much more difficult.

The difficulty last time was only that she had lost her memory and judgment, but the difficulty this time was that it was difficult for her to judge whether she was still in a hallucination through these same or different details.

She walked to the front of the car. The display screens and lights inside the car had been turned off. Chongming, with his back to her, was looking at something unknown.

When Xie Xuan was only one meter away, Chongming turned around and asked, "Can't sleep?"

"Yeah, I had a nightmare." Xie Xuan said, "Where's Xiao Yao?"

"He said he felt danger was approaching here, so he went to deal with it alone." Chongming's tone of voice was no different from when he usually mentioned Xiao Yao.

Xie Xuan looked out the car window. It was similar to the last illusion. The dim light in the car and the reflection from the window made it impossible for her to see what was happening outside the car.

"I'll go check on him," Xie Xuan said. "I don't know if his abilities have fully recovered. It would be troublesome if he can't handle this danger on his own."

Xie Xuan said as she walked towards the car door, "Which direction did he go?"

Chongming pointed in a direction and said, "We went there. We've been there for almost half an hour."

Hearing this, Xie Xuan suddenly stopped.

She turned and looked at Chongming. Is it necessary for a bionic man who is essentially an artificial intelligence to use such vague terms like humans in terms of the concepts of numbers and time?

"How long is almost half an hour exactly?" Xie Xuan asked. "More than twenty minutes?"

She bit the accent on the number, and Chongming quickly answered a number, "Six, twenty-six minutes."

But Xie Xuan still stood there without moving. She suddenly realized something very important.

The hallucinations she experienced last time in the Moth Man's domain were not actually projected from her own memories and inner world.

Whether it was Ling Wenqing who appeared at the beginning or the hallucination that appeared later in the lounge on the second floor of the Ecological Bureau, in essence, the fungus found memories about her among the people who were completely infected by it, and constructed an illusion based on this.

This is why all the illusions she encountered were simply imitations of an illusion and person she was familiar with, rather than directly creating what she feared most.

If the bacteria had really infected her mind to the point where it could read all of her memories, she should be standing in a laboratory or someplace that she didn't even remember, instead of still playing house in this RV.

But the more crucial issue is that since she has now appeared in such an illusion, it means that one of her teammates must be in danger.

"Yang Jiayue." Xie Xuan murmured.

As the humanoid detector with the lowest combat effectiveness on the vehicle, she is the person most likely to be taken away by the bacteria without anyone noticing.

Moreover, she had just killed her with her own hands in the previous field. Does this foreshadow something?

Xie Xuan's body moved faster than she could think and placed the dagger on the neck of Chongming in front of her. "Where is Yang Jiayue?"

Chongming quickly raised his hand and said, "What's wrong with you? Isn't Yang Jiayue sleeping in bed?"

Xie Xuan didn't turn her head, she still looked at Chongming.

She felt as if she had overlooked something, and that any illusion must have a purpose.

Just like the last time in the Moth Man's domain, the first illusion was to make her take off her helmet and eat the people killed by the domain to infect her, and the second was to trap her and delay time.

So what is the purpose of this illusion?

If it was the former, the illusion should have guided her to take off her helmet or get off the car, but this illusion did not seem to have that intention.

But if it is the latter, it doesn't make sense at all. The fungus strains outside the wall have very little vitality to acquire, so they take a long time to mature. Some even take several years to mature.
