But when Xie Xuan was about to stab into Tian Kaikang's chest, her hand seemed to be held up by a gust of wind and she couldn't move at all.
"What are you going to do?" Wen Xu grabbed Xie Xuan's wrist and asked coldly.
Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment. The palm of the hand holding her wrist was warm. It should be Wen Xu's special ability that was blocking her, but Xie Xuan still didn't know what Wen Xu's special ability was.
This couldn't be an illusion constructed based on her memory.
Before Xie Xuan could say anything, Xiang Zihan suddenly asked, "Are you too tired lately and your mind is hazy?"
Xie Xuan turned to look at Xiang Zihan, who had barely spoken to her when he was still alive. He smiled faintly and said, "Your captain is temporarily unable to go on a mission, and you have to work overtime again... Did you unknowingly become infected by the spirit during yesterday's mission? In that case, it would be best to get some rest."
Xie Xuan frowned, but Wen Xu had already released her hand. "If that's the case, you'd better not go on this mission. It's still not too late for Bai Ze to find another team member."
After Wen Xu finished speaking, he lowered his head and clicked a few times on the terminal. A prompt soon popped up on Xie Xuan's terminal, telling her that the task had been changed and she could go home and rest today.
Xie Xuan remained silent, while Wen Xu and the other three quickly left in the elevator.
Xie Xuan still held the dagger in her hand. She was thinking about what the chances were of escaping this illusion if she stabbed herself.
If she was really in an illusion, her body would not be harmed. Even if she was still within the domain, she still had the symbiotic spores and the system to protect her.
She took a deep breath, pointed the dagger at her abdomen, and stabbed it hard.
A severe pain came over her, and a sticky and warm liquid quickly flowed onto Xie Xuan's hand. She felt so much pain that her vision went black, and she fell to her knees on the ground with her whole body powerless.
Xie Xuan tried hard to stay conscious, but it was no use. The severe pain soon made her mind go into a daze.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe just a second, Xie Xuan opened his eyes again, and in front of him was the familiar white ceiling.
Xie Xuan felt a little headache. Where was this place?
Xie Xuan sat up and gradually regained consciousness. Before she fell into a coma, she stabbed herself in order to get out of the illusion, but it seemed that her attempt had failed.
Just as Xie Xuan got up from the bed, a doctor she didn't recognize walked in. "Are you feeling better?"
Xie Xuan asked: "Where is this place?"
"The Ecological Bureau's internal hospital," the doctor replied. "You were probably infected by the spirit during yesterday's mission and didn't notice it. But you're fine now. Go back to your mission when you're better."
Xie Xuan nodded, walked out of the hospital but went straight to the Ecological Bureau.
The outside was exactly the same as she remembered, but if this illusion was not something she imagined, it must have boundaries.
She is going home now.
Xie Xuan simply ignored the task prompt received on the terminal when passing through the Ecological Bureau and walked towards the light rail station.
But before she reached the light rail station, a voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Xie Xuan, where are you going?"
Xie Xuan turned around and saw Wen Xu standing two meters behind her, looking at her.
Although Wen Xu didn't look unusual, Xie Xuan still asked cautiously, "Have you completed this B-rank mission?"
Wen Xu nodded. "Although it was a terrible price to pay, at least the result was good."
Xie Xuan asked again: "Where's Zhuo Guangyu? Where's Tian Kaikang? Where's Xiang Zihan? Are they all back?"
Wen Xu looked at Xie Xuan and suddenly revealed a strange smile, "Xie Xuan, do you want to see them?"
Xie Xuan took out a dagger and took a fighting stance, "I don't want to."
Wen Xu retracted her smile and said, "That's a shame, but we're going on a mission together next. Where are you going now?"
"I want to go home. I still don't feel well. I want to go home and rest."
Xie Xuan kept an eye on Wen Xu's movements, because she wasn't sure if she could beat Wen Xu.
But Wen Xu nodded and said, "If you don't feel well, go home and rest. I can go on this mission alone."
Xie Xuan was a little surprised that Wen Xu did not play by the rules, but when Wen Xu was about to turn around, a hand with a metallic luster suddenly stretched out in front of Xie Xuan's belly.
The severe pain came again. Xie Xuan turned her head with difficulty, only to see Zhuo Guangyu standing behind her. It was also him who suddenly appeared and stabbed her stomach.
Xie Xuan didn't even have time to think about the relationship between them before his consciousness fell into a daze again.
Xie Xuan opened her eyes again and saw the familiar white ceiling in front of her.
Xie Xuan felt a headache. She sat up and gradually regained consciousness. Before she fell into coma, she stabbed herself in order to get out of the illusion, but it seemed that she failed.
She lowered her head and lifted up her hospital gown. As expected, there was no wound on her stomach.
When Xie Xuan got out of bed and stepped on the ground, she suddenly saw a gray-white pattern under the ground. Just when Xie Xuan was about to squat down to take a closer look, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.
"Feeling better?" the doctor asked.
Xie Xuan felt that this sentence was inexplicably familiar, and so did the doctor.
"here it is……?"
"The Ecological Bureau's internal hospital," the doctor replied. "You were infected by a spirit during yesterday's mission and it wasn't noticed. But you're fine now. Return to your mission when you're well."
Xie Xuan said okay, and when she lowered her head to look at the ground again, the tiles on the ground turned pure white again, as if the gray and white pattern just now was just her illusion.
But Xie Xuan didn't believe in any illusions, she took out the dagger and stabbed it into the ground.
"Hey, what are you doing!?" the doctor shouted in shock.
The dagger cut through the tiles on the floor, but the exposed area was no different from ordinary floor.
Was it really her illusion? Xie Xuan wondered.
"It seems that your mental infection has not healed yet. Lie down and I will check you again." The doctor came over and said.
Xie Xuan stood up, looked at the doctor walking towards her, and stabbed him in the chest with a knife.
Since killing myself won't allow me to leave the illusion, maybe killing others can help?
The doctor, who was suddenly stabbed, looked at Xie Xuan in disbelief, and the blood that kept flowing out of his mouth dripped onto Xie Xuan's body.
Xie Xuan pulled out the knife and the doctor fell to the ground, but the surrounding scene did not change at all.
Did she fail again? Xie Xuan frowned.
