Endless thoughts poured into his mind as he had seen before. The consciousness belonging to Xueling Huanbing had completely fallen into a coma with the influx of excessive information, and his vision, hearing, touch, etc. were amplified. A series of perceptions were like an endless flood at this time, constantly washing away from every inch of Xue Ling Huan Bing's nerves. Completely unable to accept the pain caused by this kind of perception, Xueling Huanbing closed her eyes tightly and curled up her body forcefully. Some fragments of memories in the mental torrent that had given up resistance were flowing irregularly. After tumbling and reorganizing, it played loudly and loudly in her mind again and again: "It's all your fault!"
"Why? Why can't I see you! Why does the world I see become like this! No, don't leave me! Don't abandon myself!"
"Look, this is the true face of that man. He and his companions have abandoned you. Why are you still placing your hopes on him instead of staying by my side with peace of mind?"
"No matter where you are, I will find you and bring you back from the endless abyss - just take it as my promise to you."
As if unable to even scream, Xue Ling Huan Bing clenched her teeth hard. The painful memories she had forgotten buried deep in her mind were like black mud being stirred up. It quickly spewed past in front of my eyes. Unable to resist those dark memories that kept raging in her heart, the white-haired woman tried her best to close her mind. Even some of the beautiful memories that were occasionally mixed in the black mud that surged up had been lost to her. All ignored.
"No……"
The woman who has experienced such painful experiences several times knows that the authenticity of the scenes in front of her cannot be guaranteed at all. Xueling Huanbing is not even willing to distinguish which memories are fabricated by the outside world and which ones exist in the world. The truth deep in her consciousness: "I won't believe it...even if you capture me, you can never change my heart..."
Uh-huh.
A slight sound then rang in Xue Ling Huan Bing's ears. The heavy whistling sound, amplified countless times, also made her already extremely sensitive once again raise her tense mind, constantly flooding a large number of memories that passed in front of her. The pictures and sounds also stagnated for a moment with the appearance of this heavy whistling sound, and what followed was a bright light that suddenly penetrated the depths of the endless darkness: "——"
Looking at the figure of the very familiar grey-robed magician that gradually appeared in front of this bright light, Xue Ling Huan Bing's closed heart relaxed for a moment: "Duan Qing! Duan -"
Feeling regretful for her slackness at this moment, Xue Ling Huan Bing's stretched out hand suddenly stopped in place. Blood seemed to ooze from the corner of her mouth, and she then stared closely at the figure behind the bright light. After a long while, he let out a vague growl under the pain he was holding back: "What kind of mental trap is this again? You... don't try to lie to me... and fall for it..."
"Okay, okay, don't worry."
As if being hugged into someone's arms, a warm feeling enveloped Xue Ling Huan Bing's body as the figure turned around and revealed a familiar smile: "Don't be afraid, I am here."
"——No, I don't believe it." Muttering such words to himself, Xueling Huanbing shook his head vigorously: "Disguise and illusion... I have seen this method of yours countless times. !I will never trust anyone who appears here again! No!"
"If you don't have the faith to rely on in your heart, how can you stand on it?" It was still Duan Qing's familiar voice, and the tone from the figure in front also seemed extremely gentle at this time: "Although autism is safe, it is nothing The fundamental solution is if you just shut yourself up in such a dark and hopeless world and sink deeper and deeper——"
"I'll be very troubled."
The image of the gray magic robe began to break apart as the words echoed in the sky. Along with it, there was a big hand stretched out from the middle of the broken virtual image. There was no way to avoid the snow spirit phantom ice of this big hand. He could only open his eyes wide and let the center of the palm exuding hot temperature press on his forehead. The dazzling light quickly advanced within the visual field as it was torn apart by huge force. The scene like a black hole also sucked the night of the real world back into the face of the white-haired woman. She was weakly covered in blood and sweat. He moved his eyes, and after a while, he brought Duan Qing's familiar face into the field of vision that blocked half of the sky: "You...this is..."
"Huh, it's really dangerous." Duan Qing, who was holding Xue Ling Huan Bing's upper body with his arms in his arms, wiped his lowered forehead with a heavy breath: "If we don't pull you out of that state, things will go wrong It may become more and more troublesome.”
"Where is... here?" There seemed to be no strength left in the whole body, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's head lying in Duan Qing's arms showed no signs of moving at this time: "This is... the floating island? I... how... ...back? We...when-"
"Of course I used the teleportation rune to send you back." He stretched out his hand to hold down the words the other party was struggling to say. Duan Qing smiled and tapped the other party's chest, which was covered with leather armor and blood stains: "Fortunately I I had a premonition and put the magic runes on you in advance, otherwise when the accident finally happens, this 'insurance' won't have time to take effect."
"so."
Constantly moving her pupils, Xue Ling Huan Bing's slightly dazed and lifeless eyes also regained some of their energy as her breath recovered: "I... escaped? I don't have to... anymore... "
"Yes, you don't have to worry about the influence of that strange power anymore." Nodding his head with a smile, Duan Qing affirmed quickly: "Although you are still stuck in that strange state, at least that The power won’t affect you anymore.”
"..."
Closing her eyes again, Xue Ling Huan Bing did not open her closed eyes for a long time: "It's really... great, I thought, thought..."
"It doesn't matter, I'm still here." The grin on his face became more and more obvious, and Duan Qing patted his chest confidently: "As I said before, whether it's physical or mental I won't give up on you easily."
"I saw those memories again in that world."
With the help of Duan Qing's power, he slowly sat up. Xue Ling Huan Bing took into account the deep night sky in front of him and the high-altitude scenes scattered around the edge of the floating island: "Those... bad memories, once Those things that happened to me, I, I wanted to forget them, but-"
"Whether it's joy or sadness, it's all a part of you." Some carefully patted the other person's back, and Duan Qing comforted the trembling body in his arms in a low voice: "If you can't face them. If you exist, then create more beautiful memories. You and everyone, the Qingling Adventure Group, and the friends who believe in you..."
"As long as they continue to use that method, as long as my body and mind are still like this, these memories will continue to haunt me." Xu Ling Huan Bing showed a rare look of fear and fear. He covered his face weakly: "I, I can't possibly defeat them, I, I -"
Her voice suddenly disappeared, accompanied by Duan Qing's action of blocking the woman's voice with his lips. The long silence then lasted for a long time on the edge of the floating island, until the sound of being unable to breathe. The sounds of liberation coming from the fresh air came out from between the two of them: "Huh, huh, huh, huh... Are you relieved now?"
"You still have me."
He stared into Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes, which still looked helpless and panicked, and repeated in a slow but firm voice: "I won't let them hurt you."
"..."
"Okay, let's explore your trauma in a more direct way."
After shaking the white-haired woman who still looked numb, Duan Qing sighed into the deep night: "Although I haven't fully understood the pain you have experienced, I still know a lot about your state. I’ve dabbled in it more or less.”
"For example, the so-called sensory transparency, mental sensor amplification and other states - when I logged into the world to communicate with the outside world, I heard the sound of thunder that could echo into the sky." He said this again The corner of his mouth curled up: "If I live under that kind of sound every day, I will probably go crazy sooner or later. The reason is mainly related to the original design of the virtual reality game system."
"Game publishers and virtual game cabin designers probably also understand how harmful this kind of thing is to ordinary players, so they have made some protections in signal traffic and game cabin transmission technology." The body shook slightly, and Duan Qing continued in a leisurely voice: "In order to learn Yi Sword, you removed those protective devices like me, and later accepted the drug transformation of Wings of Freedom, and accepted the spiritual transmission of virtual reality game data. Sexual sensitivity is greatly increased, so——"
"I also have a share of responsibility for turning you into what you are now." He lowered his head again, and his apologetic eyes met the raised eyes of Xue Ling Huan Bing: "I'm sorry, 'Intention Sword' As expected, it’s better not to teach this kind of thing easily.”
"That was my original choice, and it was also the result of me pestering you all the time." Finally speaking out his voice again, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes once again showed some sparkle: "Without you teaching me those things as a teacher, I wouldn’t have the strength I have today, so I won’t regret it, let alone blame you.”
"We just need to solve the problems that arise next." Xiaokou breathed again for a while, and Xueling Huanbing's eyebrows also moved: "But...it seems that the flaws of Yijian have not been solved yet. There’s a way, right?”
"That's right." He sighed and said the answer, and then Duan Qing smiled bitterly: "Even if it seems harmless on the surface, the mental damage is irreversible, and the holes and gaps that have been opened seem to be gone. I’ve never heard of the possibility of repairing it.”
"Either prevent the other party from continuing to seize this gap and continue to attack you, or it will take a longer time to adapt to the mental impact of the 'gap' - the latter, let alone you, even I think it is a fantasy. Existence." He put his hand against Xue Ling Huan Bing's face and squeezed it hard: "So until this problem is solved, you and I are both victims of Yi Jian now."
"It's impossible to stop those people from attacking us without using this method." After contemplating for a while, the woman named Xue Ling Huan Bing continued with a weak aura: "They don't have that level of shame. The extreme measures used will definitely be used."
"It doesn't matter, at least I beat him back this time." Duan Qing pointed to the bottom of the floating island facing the two people: "The guy who bullied you was also taught a lesson by me... That guy and What is your relationship? Do you two know each other?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"When I played against him, the guy kept cursing and talking."
Always paying attention to Xue Ling Huan Bing's reaction, Duan Qing continued in a casual voice: "It should be because he was taught a lesson by you before. His condition and strength are not very good, so in order to regain the ground with his words, , he said a lot of bad things about you."
"He is my younger brother, Chu Mingqing." His eyes gradually raised to the sky, Xue Ling Huan Bing replied in a slow voice: "He is also the person who ostensibly inherited the Chu family after I left the family."
"...No? I thought you would tell the story between you."
"..."
"Okay, I understand." Still looking at the white-haired woman's face, Duan Qing frowned as if he had some realization: "It seems that the beating was gentle this time! Just wait, I'll see you again later Hit it once.”
"Haha." Being aroused by the other party's pretentious face, he chuckled. After all, Xue Ling Huan Bing temporarily put aside the pain he suffered before: "It's not to this extent, I just... didn't expect it. He will also use this method to deal with me, and..."
"Won't that thing have any effect on you?" She looked back at Duan Qing's face: "As someone who is also good at using the Yi Sword, how did you overcome these side effects?"
"Of course it won't work. I haven't drunk any strange potions or undergone any strange transformation." Duan Qing replied in a relaxed voice: "As for why - I am probably the only exception. If I don't remember, If it's wrong, some of the people who were learning 'Yijian' at that time would also have side effects similar to yours."
"But even if you are a guy who has been transformed later, the final symptoms will not be as severe as yours now." He nodded Xue Ling Huan Bing's head, and his voice became extremely low when he answered again: "Return The reason is probably because you have some special physical qualities."
"If I hadn't happened to be by your side just now, guiding you to wake up from the closed nightmare, but some guy with malicious intentions, your spirit might have been trapped in the trauma of this nightmare, and it would have changed forever. I can’t get pregnant.”
