Collapse, survive

Page 322

Yanqing is a genius who can digest and practice things very quickly, but he was already a genius at sword control when he was young.

"These things are so difficult, it will probably take me a long time to master them."

Xi'er couldn't help but relax a little. This was why she drove Fang Jie away. He really affected her studies. She needed a supportive environment, hard work, and protection from being bullied by top students.

Seeing this overpowered player, Seele was distressed by her own lack of talent.

Almost everyone has similar worries; if you don't, then there's a big problem.

Fang Jie became increasingly aware of the absurdity of his own problems, which led him to dabble in both righteous and evil paths. He even locked up Huanlong, a dangerous fellow who might actually possess him, in preparation for 'refining' him.

"What a cute problem, but there's not much I can do to help you. Good luck."

As he spoke, Fang Jie wiped his forehead and handed over a pair of lenses.

Xing stared curiously, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the mirror that Fang Jie had taken from somewhere between her eyebrows.

Strange, it looks kind of familiar.

She simply took out a mirror as well, constructed from calcite, but the mirror looked ordinary, with only a beautiful star core.

【Hi?】

Try waving to your reflection in the mirror to greet yourself; the reaction you get will be exactly the same as your own.

However, when Xing realized her foolish behavior and scratched her head, the Xing in the mirror calmly watched this silly, adorable Xing scratching her head.

"!"

March was shocked, did you see that, Ah Xing!

"Hey, hey, hey, what is this...?"

Just as Xing was startled by March's sudden outburst and was about to ask her what she was doing, she saw Xing in the mirror reach out and grab her, trying to drag her into the mirror world.

Xing refused to comply and resisted fiercely.

"what--!"

A girl's scream came from the side, scaring Xinghun so much that he was almost knocked away and was immediately dragged inside.

"what--!"

The final echo of the star was one of grief and indignation.

The screams in March continued, and Fang Jie quickly covered her mouth.

"Stop yelling, she's using fictional narratives."

"Ah, you...you did this? Is this still Kaituo? What kind of weird skills did you secretly unlock on the train?"

"Not surprising at all, this is part of the pioneering work."

"Where has this been developed?"

"Why aren't ghost stories being explored? March, you need to see the world with an open mind. In the future, you will become the Sword Demon March."

"Fine, Fang Jie, you admit it, right? You did it."

Fang Jie does not deny it.

But Seele's involvement also played a part.

Her quantum reading is almost going to go mad. It seems everyone has had their own extraordinary encounters. His encounter with Huanlong was a major one, while Xier's... it's like she encountered the secret teachings of the Medicine King.

This book has been tainted. The forbidden books of the Immortal Ship contain such content, and the Secret Manual of the Medicine King loves to spread these fantastical books that make people unable to extricate themselves.

That's right, it's those guys again, secretly trying to induce the outsiders who come to the Immortal Ship to seek immortality.

Or is Seele's qualifications in this area too tempting?

Although Seele was resolute and capable of resisting, Fang Jie still created a 'first mirror' for her, not seeking to see through the world and dispel illusions, but he mixed in [myth].

Believe it or not, although the strength of this destiny is unclear, its operability is extremely high.

For example, 'I bounce back'.

Fang Jie planned to redirect the 'result' of inducing Seele into illusion back to the 'cause' of creating the illusion, which was feasible. However, Xing pulled out a mirror and said, 'Let me see.'

She interfered with Fang Jie's plan, which made it seem like a fictional narrative of the Medicine King's secret techniques.

She couldn't understand the operation for three months. First, she couldn't remember the little secrets on the train, the one who hid and concealed everyone's memories; second, she genuinely couldn't understand it.

But Xing, Jin Gang, and Fang Jie all obtained the 'Yula' gold coins. If they remember her, Xing can still create fictional narratives.

Xing was mixed with Fang Jie's fictional "myth," which immediately distorted his operation and turned it into a fictional narrative.

According to Fang Jie's own idea, he would construct a world bubble, and then, through the cycle of cause and effect, reflect back the 'results' that Seele has not yet manifested.

Xing added something extra, incorporating her heavyweight battle memories into the result.

This is tantamount to reflecting all the information from the fictional narrative she participated in back to the person who cast the illusion on the forbidden book, comparable to Tsukuyomi.

"Xing is really good at pioneering. She not only bounces back, but also chases after them and beats up all the bad guys with her baseball bat. You're something else."

Fang Jie told March not to worry, and also told Xi'er, who had just woken up from her dream, not to chase after them.

"With your help, I've already messed up the controls, but I can't guarantee safety. Let me get her out first. This is a headache."

Fang Jie has gained a new understanding of the power of [Myth]. This destiny is very suitable for him, who knows the truth of the Boundary Sea, and can construct variables from the parallel universe anchored by the machine head.

In other words, the world bubble was created.

The world bubble takes another step forward, achieving a connection and reconnection with the tree of imaginary numbers, thus creating a new world, a single leaf.

Then, through parallel interference and reverse-plane armor, it engulfs the not-unique current 'isomorph,' indirectly interfering with reality in a curse-like manner.

Fang Jie didn't reach that level; he was only at the level of a world bubble, combining the power of [Mystery] to reflect the illusion...

But stars.

【Pioneering】Breaking through the barriers turned into a decisive blow.

The former only requires the Medicine King's Secret Technique to experience one's own evil deeds, while the latter has increased the difficulty, requiring players to beat up the Medicine King's Secret Technique to complete the game like she does, otherwise they will remain immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

Fang Jie might even add another twist, permanently banishing the person to the corresponding world bubble...

For the rest of my life, I may become a 'character in a story'.

It makes one sigh that the Milky Way is still as crazy as ever, where illusion and reality are never clearly distinguished, the boundaries of existence are so vast, and the definition of life is ambiguous and vague.

In the galaxy, the birth of intelligent life brought the universe to a standstill, and in the end, the status of intelligent life had to be widely recognized.

In addition, there are energy beings, information beings, and all sorts of strange things that become sentient, and then they question existence and explore the meaning of life.

In another world, the debate would likely revolve around whether or not Bomb counts as a life form.

In addition to these, there are classic examples in the galaxy, such as the Epperra rebellion led by the Star Core Hunters, which Fang Lie focuses on, and Kaffa's invasion of the electronic prison to release the data demons...

Ever since Fang Jie was almost tricked into becoming an embryo by Kafka, he has thought deeply about and studied these things.

Finally, he arrived at a philosophical conclusion that he still couldn't reach.

That is, if a story features an evil villain who then becomes a living being, should he be granted freedom?

This premise, which cannot be concluded, acknowledges that intelligent life forms, Bomb, and data demons are all life forms. In other words, Fang Jie has a definite conclusion regarding whether even the evil life forms in a story enjoy 'human rights,' whether the tragedy of a story should be 'saved,' and whether there should be another possibility for everything.

This is quite a mystery.

The universe is maintained by hues, layers, riddles, and illusions, raining down thoughts and fogs of the senses.

Following this line of thought, Fang Jie's thoughts spread like a dream, and he caught Xing, who was beating up a group of people who were practicing the secret techniques of the Medicine King, and rescued her.

Her baseball bat is still very effective.

But why bother? This is a celestial vessel; let's leave the Medicine King's secret teachings to the Cloud Riders.

This operation was like Xing unleashing her inner demons, beating up the Medicine King's secret techniques of imagination, and then Fang Jie rescued her, using those useless imaginative ideas to bounce back to the designated target.

The main theme is abstract, or rather, deities.

In this way, Xing's unintentional killing blow was weakened. He reflected the hallucinogenic illusions in those forbidden books, preventing them from directly attacking him with their demonic bodies. However, he was still plagued by nightmares and suffered from mental exhaustion.

You're welcome.

After he finished doing all that, he heard March ask in surprise and doubt, "You, are you really still Star? Or are you some kind of mirror demon that has been replaced?!"

Upon hearing this, Xing revealed a wicked smile.

"Hehehe, Galaxy Baseball Man is dead. Now standing in front of you is Galaxy Top Hat Man!"

"..."

Alright, this bag belongs to me.

Pure.

"Alright, alright, problem solved. Same rules as always, remember to be careful in future developments. Don't forget the painful lesson of the three of us getting stuck in the ventilation duct and having to be rescued by Pam. I'm not always reliable either; sometimes it's not surprising that we all crash together."

Fang Jie handled this trivial matter with ease, displaying the usual nonchalant attitude of a Galaxy Soldier.

Mei, who witnessed the whole thing, had a hard time holding back.

No way, is your daily life really this exciting? Then what kind of expert are you at managing the ventilation ducts?

Seele rubbed her temples, not wanting to read for a while: "Damn it, I've been caught out. I knew reading wouldn't bring any good."

Even reading a book can be dangerous; that's the Milky Way.

The frail young girl Seele felt weak and powerless.

"Actually, it's nothing. It will only bother you for a while. You are Seele, after all. But I can't bear to see you suffer. This kind of suggestion is too despicable. What's the difference between it and hypnosis?"

Fang Jie smiled and took credit, then gave her a recap.

Upon closer examination, regardless of the sophistication of the methods used, hypnosis, hallucinations, and suggestion are indeed quite common.

Even Uncle Yang couldn't withstand the infection.

"Hmph, I'll just pretend you didn't laugh at me."

Seele was a little embarrassed that she had fallen for it without even realizing it, but also a little happy about Fang Jie's words. Then she glanced at Raiden Mei, whose skirt had been lifted up by Fang Jie several times in front of her.

A very cute little sister, but a huge darkness is hidden inside her.

It is even larger than Hooke.

If it were her reading this book...

Blackened Hook has the potential to become the Lord of Annihilation.

Seele decided to set an example for these younger girls, clenching her fist tightly: "Let's go, give me a thorough check-up, and then I'll make those guys who did this pay the price."

She's already put in the effort, but her pettiness is also endearing.

Fang Jie had no objection to Xi'er wanting revenge; the demons and monsters on this immortal ship really needed to be dealt with properly.

"Elbow, come back to the room with me for a checkup."

The kind where they take off your clothes.

……

That night, Xing had a wonderful dream.

In her dream, she carried a baseball bat and swung it at everyone she saw.

Cool!

The next morning, her phone didn't ring—Xing, who loves to sleep in, never sets that function—but a text message notification came through:
