"it is as expected."
Xie Zhi sighed.
I said, how could Sima Xi be so kind and give me a hot spring pool to relieve my mental stress.
It turns out that this hot spring pool is my lifeline. When I leave the hot spring pool, the water in my body will continue to lose, and eventually I will disappear completely.
Therefore, no matter how you want to explore the illusion in front of you, you must properly consider your course of action.
If you can't move from one pool to another, make sure you can get back to the water from land before your legs disappear and you can't move.
"In this way..."
"This hot spring created by the mental illusion in front of you is actually part of some kind of emotional pollution."
"And this emotional pollution site is related to water."
Hot springs, women, disappearing moisture...
Weird, so weird.
Sima Xi created such an illusion. What was his purpose?
Xie Zhi thought about Sima Xi's possible purpose, but due to the lack of information, he couldn't figure out the reason after analyzing it for a long time.
One can only turn to thinking about the relationship between time and the rate of water loss in the body.
"Staying without water for one minute will reduce your height by ten centimeters..."
"Where does this loss of height begin?"
Xie Zhi walked out of the water again. He stood by the hot spring pool, staring at his hands and feet.
At first, it emerged from his body drop by drop, and then there was a gradually thickening film of water.
Next, the water film turns into a water curtain, and the whole body gradually feels like "melting".
“The rate of water loss increases over time.”
"The first minute was normal. At the end of the minute, my height was only ten centimeters shorter."
"But as time passed further, by the end of the second minute, the height had shortened between fifteen and eighteen centimeters."
"And by the end of the third minute, his height had shrunk from the original level, to nearly 30 centimeters."
"This shortening is synchronous, with hands, feet, waist, and all areas of the body shrinking."
Like a piece of butter shrinking in a frying pan.
A series of metaphors popped into Xie Zhi's mind.
Rather than saying it is a simple height change, it is better to say that it is some kind of...
Reverse growth.
In three minutes, she transformed from a girl in her twenties back to a teenager.
Xie Zhi could feel that as he stayed on land for longer, not only his height, but also his thinking mode gradually became "childish".
At the end of the third minute, I could actually feel a complex emotion intertwined with "the desire to play" and "the desire to be loved" in my mind.
It was obvious that this loss of water caused him to change from a stable adult form back to adolescence when emotions first sprouted.
Xie Zhi's eyes gradually narrowed.
"This is not easy to handle..."
"If we continue at this speed, by the end of the second minute, we will have returned from our twenties to the time when we were just adults, and by the end of the third minute, we will have returned to our adolescence of thirteen or fourteen years old."
"Then when the time comes to the fourth minute, I may return to being eight years old."
Xie Zhi didn't think that an eight-year-old child could provide any help in cracking the illusion.
Especially when I was eight years old.
Three minutes is the limit.
You should not leave the pool for more than three minutes at a time.
What can you do with three minutes?
Xie Zhi walked from the outdoor hot spring indoors to the indoor hot pool, which took thirty seconds.
He dragged his wet body around the locker room for another half minute.
Xie Zhi wore a bracelet on his wrist. Following the numbers on the bracelet, Xie Zhi found his locker. A full minute and a half had passed.
Too late.
Xie Zhi silently counted the seconds, raised his bracelet to open the locker, put his hand down again, and returned to the steamy hot spring pool.
If three minutes is the limit, then he must walk back in about a minute and a half, and return to the pool when his body shrinks to the age of thirteen or fourteen.
Xie Zhi soaked his body in hot water again.
A woman's body is like a sponge that absorbs water, or a jellyfish soaked in hair. After more than ten seconds, Xie Zhi transformed from a teenager back to an adult.
By the time he tried for the second time, Xie Zhi had gained experience, and he jogged all the way to his locker.
The road was slippery and Xie Zhi almost fell.
After standing still, he discovered that every time he took action, he left a large pool of crystal water on the path, like an unknowing slug.
When I think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be much difference between myself and the slug now. We don't wear clothes, we are both afraid of drying out, and we always leave a line of water stains on our bodies when we walk.
Xie Zhi laughed twice, then turned back to see what was in his locker.
But at this moment, Xie Zhi suddenly heard a string of "ding-ling-ring" wind chimes.
It turned out that the set of glass-colored wind chimes on the door curtain when entering the women's bathhouse rang.
After that, there was a sound of "哐啷哐吷", as if someone was pushing a fully loaded trolley.
"Someone opened the door curtain of the women's bathhouse and pushed a cart in his hand."
Xie Zhi immediately made a judgment in his mind.
There are three rows of lockers in the locker room, and the three rows of lockers are placed side by side. At this time, Xie Zhi is at the innermost corner.
Xie Zhi poked his head around the corner of the locker to see who the person was.
When he looked around, he saw a thin, bandaged face.
It looks like a mummy.
But the bandage face and the mummy are different. From the bandage face, Xie Zhi saw two raised dead fish eyes.
It is no exaggeration to say that they have dead fish eyes, because those two eyes have no energy at all, the pupils are turned up to the maximum limit, and the whites of the eyes are also gray, and they do not look like a living person at all.
Xie Zhi felt a thump in his heart.
It's over, this is the time to meet the emotional weirdo in the pollution field.
But after thinking about it, Xie Zhi was a little confused, because usually, there are only one type of emotional weirdos in a single emotion pollution field, such as the moon head in Tianguang Building and the tentacle wood sculpture in the Third Hospital, but if he saw it at this time The "bandaged face pushing the trolley" is the emotional weirdo in the hot spring pollution site, so what does he mean when he is dripping with water?
While thinking, Xie Zhi hid aside and peered at the bandaged face not far away.
The bandaged face didn't notice Xie Zhi. It just parked the cart aside and then lifted off the silver-gray velvet covering the cart.
Xie Zhi noticed that Bandage Face was pushing a food cart.
The tablecloth was lifted, and the pots and pans on the dining car were displayed in front of Xie Zhi's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhi saw Bandaged Face taking off the protective covers of all the pots and pans on the trolley one after another, and placing them next to the dishes gently.
After doing all this, Xie Zhi couldn't see clearly what the bandaged face was doing.
He could only see the bandaged face raising his left hand on each plate of soup or steak.
Although there was nothing in his hand, a large amount of gray-white powder fell from the fingers of the bandaged face's left hand.
This off-white powder looks a bit like the Baopuzi soul powder that Xie Zhi must eat with every meal now, but the soul powder is black, and this powder is almost the opposite of soul powder.
The off-white powder scattered on the food and disappeared, and then Bandage Face gently covered the dishes and dining cart again.
After doing all this, the bandaged face looked around, as if to see if anyone found him. After confirming that no one in the bathhouse noticed him, the bandage-faced man said "Abba, Ababa" twice, then pushed the cart and left.
"It seems to be anxious, but it can't show that it's anxious."
After Bandage Face left, Xie Zhi came from the corner to where Bandage Face was after entering the bathhouse.
The location where the dining car was placed was empty at this time, but Xie Zhi smelled a faint smell of rancidity from that location.
The putrid smell coming from the bandaged face was even more obvious. The putrid smell was condensed and refused to melt. It was clear that the emotional monster had left the bathhouse, but the putrid smell seemed to have condensed into an invisible human form in the bathhouse, still staying where it was. position.
"It really stinks..."
Xie Zhi frowned and whispered to himself,
"The place where the cart is placed smells like rotten food that has been there for at least a month or two, and the place where Bandage Face has been is like a stinky specimen that has been dead for a year and a half."
Xie Zhi subconsciously reached out his hand to disperse the condensed stench, while thinking about what he should do next.
"Nearly three minutes have passed. No matter what I want to do, I have to go back to the hot spring to fill up my water first."
Xie Zhi thought to himself.
But with a wave of his hand, Xie Zhi instantly noticed something was wrong.
The condensed odor not only did not dissipate with Xie Zhi's wave of his hand, but became even more condensed!
Even with this wave of his hand, a human-shaped shadow quickly appeared in the air!
And the human-shaped shadow is still rapidly showing further shapes as time goes by!
It’s the bandaged face just now!
how come! Isn't it gone?
No, maybe it didn't leave at all, it pretended to leave, but in fact the one leaving was a phantom, and the real bandaged face stayed in the changing room of the bathhouse!
Xie Zhi was shocked and subconsciously wanted to pull away, but found that the left hand he had waved before was caught by the bandaged face that quickly appeared in mid-air!
The dry and pale bandaged left hand instantly grabbed Xie Zhi's left hand, while the other equally dry and old bandaged right arm with a strong odor rushed towards Xie Zhi's right hand at the same time!
An alarm bell rang in Xie Zhi's heart. He felt that as the bandaged-faced left hand grabbed him, the water loss in his body accelerated rapidly! All the water flows quickly along the arm caught by the bandaged arm and into the body of the bandaged face!
"It knew I was hiding there from the beginning!"
"It was on purpose!"
The hair all over Xie Zhi’s body stood on end!
At this moment, he couldn't care less about Zangzhuo. Between being sucked dry by the bandaged face or being sucked dry by the incarnation of his own emotions, he could only choose the latter!
Xie Zhi's right hand clenched into a fist.
Behind him, a smaller light blue humanoid silhouette instantly unfolded!
"Crazy Scissors! Help me!"
The light blue humanoid figure was tightly attached to Xie Zhi's back, and the hands of the blue figure were also interlaced with Xie Zhi's hands at this moment.
The flames rose in an instant, then the red turned into blue, and the blue turned into red.
Xie Zhi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the scenery in front of him was covered with a thin blue filter.
Xie Zhi's right hand instantly transformed into a blue scissors hand. In just a moment, his right hand turned into a fist and turned into a palm. The five scissor blades took the entire palm into the air and attacked straight towards the oncoming bandaged hand!
The bandage-faced monster's right hand was hit by Xie Zhi's right hand, and half of his palm was severely cut off by Xie Zhi's right hand. A low, painful roar came from his throat.
At the same time, Xie Zhi also seized the opportunity and pursued the victory. The scissors transformed from his blue right hand ripped open half of the palm of the bandage monster's right hand, and then ran straight towards the bandage monster's left hand!
He wanted to force Bandage Face to let go of the palm of his left hand!
If he doesn't let go, the left wrist of the bandaged face will be cut open in one stroke!
The next moment, Xie Zhi felt his left wrist loosen, and he escaped from the control of the bandaged face.
But before he could take a breath, Xie Zhi discovered that Bandage Face had not given up the desire to attack, but had immediately changed his attack mode when his plan failed!
It actually endured the pain of having the palm of its right hand cut off, and while roaring, it opened its arms and tried to give itself a strong hug.
Can't let it succeed!
Xie Zhi was shocked. The dry and cracked feeling on his left wrist had not completely disappeared. Xie Zhi knew what it meant to be hugged by this bandaged face.
Apart from the stinky smell all over the body of the bandaged-faced monster who was born for unknown reasons, what's even more difficult is that all the bandages on his body are absorbent, and he seems to be born with a restrained species like himself, a "water man".
They are their own natural enemies.
Once held, that's it.
Xie Zhi ducked down and dodged the bear hug from the bandaged face.
Even Xie Zhi himself was surprised at why he could lower his waist so quickly——
This time, the back of Xie Zhi's head almost touched the ground, and the back of his head and his heels were bent into an acute angle. Even in a circus, it was an almost perfect acrobatic performance!
Could it be the ability of the woman he possessed?
Xie Zhi thought subconsciously.
But this kind of thinking only lasted less than a tenth of a second, because a single dip could not save Xie Zhi from danger, but he only narrowly avoided a "nirvana".
Xie Zhi quickly observed his surroundings. At this moment, in his eyes, the whole world was completely turned upside down. This naturally affected Xie Zhi's observation to a certain extent, but it did not affect Xie Zhi's way of finding his own escape.
All the neurons in Xie Zhi's brain were running rapidly at this moment, and countless "human strips" continued to extend from his synapses, flying straight into the deeper and confusing illusion, looking for that "deep mind" moon".
But the moon does not exist at this moment. Xie Zhi stretched out all his nerves and surged his blood, but only found a piece of frosted paper. The square piece of paper tightly connected a certain space in the depths of his mind. Close it up.
There was only a gleam of light, an indelible light, projected from the square cardboard box.
Xie Zhi's subconscious saw the cardboard box, but after a brief confusion, he noticed the light seeping from the corner of the cardboard box.
"Found it! I found a way!"
Xie Zhi once again dodged an attack from Bandage Face. This time, Bandage Face flew directly to the ground and tried to press his whole body on Xie Zhi's body, but Xie Zhi turned over and rolled to the side again, barely able to hide. Open Bandage Face Attack.
At the same time, the crazy thinking in Xie Zhi's mind finally came to an end.
His subconscious was withdrawn from the psychedelic sea of consciousness, taking with it the light he found.
"If Bandage Face's way of attacking Water Man is to completely absorb me with its own drying properties, then there must be a way to counteract this property in this world!"
"And this method is hidden in the hot spring changing room where I am now!"
"The answer is, get all the bandages on Bandage Face wet!"
Xie Zhi looked around again, thinking about all possible countermeasures.
Returning to the hot spring pool, it is natural to lead the bandaged face to the hot spring pool and push it into the hot spring pool. But at this moment, the bandaged face happens to be lying between the changing room and the hot spring pool. He wants to get out of the changing room. When you turn the corner and walk back to the hot spring pool, you must cross the bandaged face who is getting up.
This is obviously unrealistic.
Even if he crosses the bandaged face, he will still be at least ten to twenty seconds away from the hot spring pool, even if he runs quickly.
Then, there is only one answer left.
Xie Zhi took a few steps back and observed the movements of the bandaged face's hands and feet.
Then, Xie Zhi suddenly turned his back. At this moment, his feet and his whole body began to move together, passing through the layers of lockers and running towards the only goal that could save him!
The sound of Bandage Face chasing came from behind. The sound was getting closer and closer to him. In just two or three breaths, it came to Xie Zhi's ears!
Can't run!
Xie Zhi was startled. He didn't expect that Bandage Face could run faster than himself.
When I looked down, I saw that I had returned from the adolescence of thirteen or fourteen years old to almost eight or nine years old!
Even the feet have turned into tender, white and fat lotus root segments!
Damn it! Hold on!
Xie Zhi took a deep breath, swung his chubby hands and feet and continued running wildly. At the same time, he lowered his body as much as possible, creating fault-tolerant conditions through the height difference between himself and the bandaged face.
"As soon as we get there..."
“Just get there!”
Success!
Xie Zhi's hands grabbed the handle of a certain door at the same time!
"It's here, it's now!"
Xie Zhi gritted his teeth and used all his strength to pull open the door in front of him!
Just for a moment! From the open door, almost substantial water vapor burst out!
At this moment, the bandaged face flew towards Xie Zhi!
The shrinking people and the chasing monsters rolled into the open door together!
"you lose."
The bandage-faced weirdo's eyes were only an inch away from Xie Zhi.
But Xie Zhi no longer felt the discomfort of water being absorbed.
Xie Zhi laughed.
"This is the sauna."
