"Identity confirmation: [Quality] Weapon_[Apollo] holder: Kokawa Koo."
"Moderate damage to the spiritual world has been detected, and the repair program is being automatically executed..."
"Ready to start generating damage assessment report..."
"……Well."
Xiaofu slowly opened his eyes, his vision was blurry, as if something was blocking his sight.
He wanted to raise his hands to wipe, but felt a little weak in his limbs, so he struggled to sit up.
As soon as he raised his head, a big tear suddenly fell from the corner of his eye, and his vision suddenly became clear.
After the husband sat up, he covered his head. His consciousness was not yet fully awake, and his brain seemed to be filled with paste, making him feel painful and dizzy.
"The data recording is completed. The duration of this treatment: 3 minutes and 34 seconds. The digital memory is being gradually restored through the safe channel..."
"......Well!"
Along with a buzzing sound, Xiaofu felt as if the "mush" in his brain was suddenly diluted. Then, the diluted "mush" was like a gurgling clear spring, slowly flowing out. flowed into his mind.
As the clear spring continued to flow in, Xiaofu's originally blank brain suddenly began to display memories continuously. During the whole process, Xiaofu's eyes were closed tightly and he remained motionless. At the same time, his consciousness became more and more clear, and his limbs gradually recovered. perception.
"The memory has been restored and all data is normal."
As soon as Xiaofu opened his eyes again, the light around him picked up the knife and stabbed his retina fiercely.
"What's going on...where am I?"
As he spoke, the young man stood up unsteadily. However, before he could take a closer look at his surroundings, the solid feeling on the soles of his feet instantly made him tremble all over, and he almost staggered and fell to the ground again.
Because just now, his memory whispered to his feet. Judging from the most recent memory point, he had been flying in the air before, and his feet had never touched the ground at all.
The last memory he could recall was when the air force had just finished cleaning up the nightmare and was about to report to Fat Tiger and the others.
But for some reason, he always felt that this was not his last memory fragment, but he couldn't remember anything about what happened after that.
"Mr. Onikawa Koo, due to the damage to your spiritual world and the need for treatment, I have removed a small part of your memory without authorization. It is now stored in a temporary database. You can retrieve it at any time, but you need to bear it yourself. Possible risks."
"Uh...who? Who's talking?!"
Just now, my husband heard something vaguely when he was still in a coma, and also when he sat up after waking up. But because he was still a little confused at the time, he thought it was an auditory hallucination, but now he finally heard it clearly.
The next second, he was so frightened that he kept retreating, only to find that his back could not reach the imaginary wall at all, and most of his sense of security was suddenly gone.
But gradually, he suddenly felt that the voice just now was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, and when he subconsciously raised his head and saw the motionless black ball hanging in the air, he immediately froze on the spot. .
After a while, he woke up as if from a dream, and the unfamiliar surroundings suddenly became familiar. Then, he turned his head and looked around, and immediately recognized that this was a different space.
Xiaofu breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that this was a different space, but he immediately became confused.
"That's not right, I...why am I here?"
"You suffered a severe mental attack during the battle with the first-level evolved form of nightmare, so I decided to urgently include you in my personal alien space channel to avoid further mental trauma."
At this moment, the black ball floating in the air spoke silently.
"...Level 1 evolved body...mental trauma? What do you mean?"
The more the young man listened, the more confused he became. He was obviously preparing to report to Fat Tiger, when...
At this moment, Xiaofu paused, and then suddenly remembered what the black ball just said, that a small part of his memory seemed to have been removed by it, and he also felt that a small part of his memory was missing before.
"You mean... I almost died and you saved me?"
"Although it's not quite accurate, that's the general picture."
Hearing Hei Qiu's answer, Xiaofu suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
Indeed, he vaguely remembered a dream he had when he was in a coma. He could no longer remember the content of the dream. He only knew that the dream was very terrifying. Just recalling it for a moment made him feel chills all over his body.
"Is that first-level evolved body you mentioned... very powerful? Did I... really almost get killed?"
Xiaofu still doesn't believe that he will die. In his impression, he only needs to shoot one arrow to kill a nightmare, and the wings of the aircraft fly very fast, and those nightmares can basically continue to fly. You can't even touch him, even if he is a first-level evolved body...
Suddenly, at this moment, the young man seemed to remember something and reached out to reach behind his back, but he didn't touch anything.
"If you want to understand the situation simply and accurately, I think there is a word that can explain it well."
"...what word?"
"suicide."
"Well......"
Xiao Fu was stunned when he heard this, but before he could speak, Black Ball continued:
"The data shows that although there are some mental fluctuations in your spiritual world that come from nightmares, most of the negative emotions that make you fall into the dead zone of consciousness come from yourself."
Although Xiaofu didn't understand the meaning of the words mental fluctuations and consciousness dead zone, when he heard Hei Qiu say that most of the negative emotions that killed him came from himself, he immediately lost his composure.
"How... is this possible? Are you mistaken?"
"My data is infallible."
"..."
After listening, the husband slowly lowered his head, seeming to be thinking about something.
"You mean... I was having negative emotions all the time?"
Suddenly, he raised his head and asked.
"To be precise, it's the negative emotion of fear."
"Fear? Am I afraid?"
"In fact, your negative emotions are increasing until your consciousness falls into a dead zone, which is called fainting."
"But...there must be a reason why I'm afraid, right?"
"I don't know the specific situation, but the data shows that the core ability of the nightmare's first-level evolved form is to create illusions, map out the target's most fearful or favorite things, and amplify them infinitely. According to the situation at the time, I speculate that you should continue to release negative emotions when you see the things you fear most."
"The most fearful thing...is it..."
Hearing this, Xiaofu couldn't help but frowned. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to think deeply, Black Ball suddenly said:
"Warm reminder, you can only stay in a different space for ten minutes at most. There are still 2 minutes and 43 seconds left, 42 seconds..."
"W-what?!"
When Xiaofu heard this, his eyes widened instantly.
"You mean those first-level evolutions are still out there?"
"Yes. You need to be ready for battle. I will teleport you out then."
When the young man heard this, his mind suddenly went blank, and then he slowly squatted down.
He knew what he feared the most, and now he had less than two minutes left to face it again.
idea? He didn't.
When he heard the news, the first thing he thought about was not how to formulate tactics, but what reason to retreat.
"Detecting negative emotions, we have found the core theory for overcoming fear for you: The way to eliminate fear psychology is to first record the fear and enter the fear, relax the body and build self-confidence, correct illusions and self-criticism, and overcome fear not only requires bravery, but also Divert the attention of fear. Regular physical exercise is also a way to overcome fear. The most important thing is to adjust yourself psychologically."
"…Thanks, can I ask how many minutes are left?"
"2 minutes and 03 seconds, 02 seconds..."
The husband became even more impatient.
He put his head in his hands and racked his brains to think of something to plan, but his mind went blank.
Just like that, time passed by minute by minute.
"Warm reminder: It has been detected that your [Quality] weapon has entered an excited state, and it is waiting for you."
"Well......?"
The husband was suddenly stunned. For a moment, he slowly raised his head and asked in a slightly doubtful tone: "What...did you just say?"
"The exorcism fire carried in your [plasma] weapon is extremely deadly to living things like nightmares. It doesn't understand what you are afraid of. By the way, I don't understand either."
The husband listened quietly and said nothing.
"Warm reminder, there is only one minute left, please be ready to fight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaofu's palms slowly gathered together and finally clenched into a fist.
Soon, he stood up again, took a deep breath, and asked:
"Where is it now?"
"It's always with you."
"......?Varied......"
After hearing this, the husband was about to ask a question when he suddenly felt something in his hand.
He looked down and saw a deep purple light coming into view.
It's Apollo.
Immediately afterwards, he felt that there seemed to be something more behind his back.
"A good quote for the occasion: The best way to eliminate fear is to face it."
The husband smiled when he heard this. Although he had heard this clichéd saying countless times before, this time, there was obviously something more in his eyes than before.
"If a man takes up arms, he is still a man, but if he loses his fear, he becomes a hunter."
