Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

As the woman vanished, the surrounding scenery gradually disappeared, and the room returned to its dilapidated state.

Su Yang felt a pang of disappointment. Having spent so long on the island in darkness, it would be a lie to say he didn't yearn for sunshine. Su Yang sighed, sweeping away his negative emotions and picking himself up again.

Looking around, it wasn't much different from the previous room, except that several skeletons lay scattered on the ground. It seemed that someone had tried to enter the second room, but all had failed. Su Yang searched the skeletons and found several bracelets. The thought of using items from the dead sent a chill down Su Yang's spine, but considering that there might be light element bracelets among them that would allow him to train his light element skills, Su Yang could only overcome his unease and try on the bracelets one by one to see if they worked.

After trying on four or five bracelets without any elemental resonance, Su Yang wasn't discouraged. He was only trying it out anyway. He discarded the ineffective bracelet and put on the next one. Soon after, Su Yang gradually felt the cloud element resonate within his body. Judging from the resonance effect, Su Yang estimated that the bracelet was probably level 3 or 4, but he couldn't be precise. Then Die'er told him it was a level 3 bracelet, or a C-grade bracelet. Su Yang understood. He initially wanted to throw it away, since he already had the Cloud Ring. But then he thought that if he could activate the cloud element without a bracelet in human society, it would attract attention. With that in mind, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Yang put the bracelet away for future use.

Su Yang looked at the last bracelet, picked it up, and slowly put it on. He focused on feeling the elemental resonance, and soon felt the agitation of light element within his body. It seemed to be a light element bracelet. Su Yang was somewhat delighted; light element could now be used effectively. He immediately asked Die'er to help identify the bracelet's level. After a brief assessment, Die'er quickly obtained the result:

"This is a level 5 bracelet, which is also a grade A bracelet. But unfortunately, this bracelet only has one year left to live. You can see that the symbols and stripes on the bracelet are almost gone. It is very likely that its lifespan will be less than one year."

"Oh, it's alright. Although the bracelet is of a high level, it was found by chance. As long as we make good use of it during this period, it's fine." Su Yang felt okay about it. Even if the bracelet he obtained without working only had a month left to last, Su Yang didn't care.

After testing the bracelet, Su Yang looked for the next door and soon found an identical wooden door not far away. It was no different from the door of the second room. Su Yang pushed the door open and walked in. What came into view was still the scene of birds singing, flowers blooming, and sunshine. It was simply a replica of the second room.

This phenomenon aroused Su Yang's suspicion: "Could it be that I didn't leave the second room at all, and am still hallucinating?"

Immediately afterward, a cloud of mist billowed up, and the woman he had encountered earlier reappeared, dressed the same, with the same entrance, still holding the same oil-paper umbrella. She looked at Su Yang and said, "Su Yang, congratulations on passing the first trial..."

Upon hearing this, Su Yang felt a chill run down his spine and became increasingly certain that he was still in a hallucination and had not yet come out of it.

"Damn it, why am I still hallucinating? Could it be that I failed the second test and was left behind? If so, what did I do wrong that caused me to fail the trial?"

"Was it wrong of me to break the bottle? Or was the reason she asked me to give insufficient?"

"Or perhaps, I've been hallucinating ever since I fell into this cave?"

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Su Yang's mind, each one suggesting that he was still in a hallucination. Seeing that Su Yang remained silent, the woman's lips curled into a strange smile.

"Su Yang, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Su Yang dared not answer easily at this moment. Before he was sure whether he was hallucinating or in reality, he could not deal with the current situation casually.

"How am I supposed to tell if this is reality or an illusion? How many layers of logic are there? Am I in the first layer of illusion when I first entered the cave, or in the first room? Or in the illusion of failing the second trial? Or have all the previous illusions been broken, and I've entered the illusion of the third trial from reality?"

Su Yang was deeply conflicted, constantly hesitating as he tried to determine if it was an illusion, and his mind became increasingly confused.

“There must be something that can determine my current situation, but it looks exactly the same as the second trial. Should I continue the scene and use it like a game to bring out the key clues? Let’s do that for now!” After thinking it over, Su Yang made up his mind and hesitated for a while before answering, “I was amazed by the scenery here and I don’t know what to say for a moment.”

Su Yang knew he couldn't say anything about women, nor could he reveal that he was still trying to figure out if he was hallucinating, so he said those words.

After listening, the woman seemed to be deep in thought, and slowly said:

"According to you, this place must be perfect for you to live here. In that case, I have a suggestion: if you agree to my proposal, you can have the right to live here anytime. What do you say?" The woman had a smile on her lips, but to Su Yang, that smile looked eerie no matter how he looked at it.

"If it's exactly the same as the second trial..." This time, Su Yang was in a dilemma. Should he continue the conversation as before, or change his words? After a moment's thought, Su Yang replied to the woman with the same answer as before, and the woman responded with the same dialogue, then took out the identical porcelain bottle and said to Su Yang again:

"Once you put the Cloud Ring on your hand into the bottle, you will gain the right to come here at any time."

After speaking, the woman somewhat hastily placed the bottle into Su Yang's hand. Su Yang took the bottle and examined it carefully, finding no cracks or other defects. Su Yang couldn't help but fall into deep thought:

"The most crucial item is intact and flawless, which means I most likely failed the second trial. If the consequence of failure is being trapped in the illusion forever and repeating it endlessly, that's too flawed. If I change my choice, will there be other changes? It's also possible that the change is death. But why is this woman always smiling? This didn't happen in the second trial. And why was she so eager to give me the bottle just now? It seemed like she wanted to get rid of the bottle so I could smash it. This is too suspicious. So it's very likely that I'm in the third trial. There's no other way, I have to choose one of the two. Since the attribute of the cloud element is change, then I'll change once."

Having made up his mind, Su Yang shoved the bottle into the woman's hand and replied, "I refuse. Take the bottle back."

The woman was visibly taken aback for a moment, then looked at the bottle in her hand and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Don't you already know the reason?" After observing the woman's reaction, Su Yang had a rough idea of ​​what was going on and continued to probe calmly.

Upon hearing this, the woman remained silent, then extended her hand towards Su Yang and said:

"No need to test me anymore. Since you have realized the concept of multiple illusions and discovered the fact that you are in an illusion, it proves that you have a high level of understanding of the fog element. The so-called illusion attribute is a mixture of truth and falsehood. Hand over the Ring of Lostness to me, and I will immediately complete the recognition of its master."

Upon hearing this, Su Yang no longer hesitated. If it was a lie, he would accept it and handed over the Lost Ring.

After receiving the gift, the woman looked up at Su Yang, her eyes seemingly rippling with emotion, and said, "My future is now in your hands."

Having said that, he placed the Lost Ring into the bottle, capped it, and the instant the cap closed, everything around him, including the bottle, vanished. With a "clatter," the Lost Ring fell to the ground. Su Yang picked it up and asked himself in realization:

"So, this means the recognition of the master has been successful?"
