On the Throne: The King of Black and White

The white light of the moon filled the air.

The door of the iron cage was opened, but the mice in the cage fell into extreme agitation.

squeak! squeak! squeak…

They screamed and jumped and climbed wildly in the grid, as if something terrible had come in from the other side of the cabinet door.

squeak--!

Suddenly, a white rat lay on the ground.

Its mouth opened and closed, letting out a sharp scream, and its limbs scratched and waved upward.

Although nothing was touching it, the white mouse's head remained motionless, as if an invisible creature had bitten its head.

Ghost was stunned for a moment, and then an incredible conjecture came to his mind.

煌…

Pale flames rippled, and the hunter invaded the white mouse's perception and saw an illusion belonging to the mezzanine of the world.

It was a lifelike civet cat.

It was hungry and had fierce eyes. It was biting the head of the white mouse, chewing and chewing.

Hair, body temperature, smell, pain, eyeballs popping, chewing sounds, bone breaking sounds, blood sucking sounds...

Everything is so real.

For this white rat, it is now in the final stage of its life.

The flesh and blood were torn, the bones were chewed, and the eyes could no longer see the light. The severe pain eroded its nerves, making its struggle become weaker and weaker, and its breathing became thinner.

Until the fangs crushed its brain, all perception disappeared.

The world... is nothing but boundless darkness.

No sense of smell, no pain, no sound, no light…

At the same time, there is no intelligence.

pat...

The illusion was shattered.

The ghost broke away from the white rat's perception and came back to his senses.

In the cage, the rat was no longer moving.

Its body was intact and its heart was still beating, but its body had stopped breathing.

His brain seems to have given up on its survival instincts and gone to a dead end of its own accord.

In the ghost's vision, he could see it.

The tiny soul was broken into pieces and gradually disappeared into the body.

It regarded the realistic illusion as reality, and the abstract supernatural particles completely invaded the intelligence, shattering its spirit and soul.

……how can that be?

Ghost couldn't understand all this.

Constructing objects requires a huge amount of experience, accumulated bit by bit, and corrected bit by bit.

And if you want to weave a living creature, the difficulty is exponentially higher.

Its whole body's shape, emotion, demeanor, smell, touch, temperature, movement status, strength...etc.

Only when everything is considered is perfect.

Only with huge imagination and extremely skilled illusion weaving techniques can it be constructed to be flesh-and-blood without any flaws.

As for using illusion to kill a life...

The things to consider will be multiplied again.

When the other party comes into contact with the illusion, every touch and every pain must be real enough to convince the brain that he is dying.

At this time, the supernatural particles that have completely invaded the opponent's spiritual realm can tear the defenseless soul into pieces.

Compared to simple and crude sonic attacks.

Once the illusion is successful, its damage will be more effective and fatal, and it can minimize the physical barrier of the opponent.

However, their difficulty and complexity are also very different and cannot be compared.

According to Ghost's expectation, it would take at least one or two years of practice to achieve this effect.

And a genius like Lin Xiao can understand it within half a year.

But the problem is...

I’ve only been practicing for less than an hour now!

The corners of Ghost's eyes suddenly twitched, and he felt that he couldn't accept it at all!

Especially since this student is still squatting on the ground, mumbling words that make him have high blood pressure.

"Deputy leader, the higher the strength of the structural life, the higher the consumption..."

"The upper limit seems to depend on my ability investment and mental strength."

"When facing someone who is super strong, or whose mental power is higher than mine, this illusion seems to have no effect. At most, it will trap the opponent for a while..."

"Deputy Commander, do you have any secrets for defeating the strong by the weak?"

‘Of course not! ’

Ghost gritted his teeth and suppressed his inner roar.

If Illusion could really defeat the strong with the weak, then he would go out to challenge S-level beasts now, instead of being a little A-level hunter here! ?

Taking a deep breath, Ghost controlled his emotions and tried to maintain his image.

"...Lin Xiao, you have successfully made them sink into the illusion. It is very powerful, but don't be complacent."

Looking into the students' eyes, Ghost said calmly:

"Their intelligence is too low to distinguish everything in front of them, but if the target of your attack is humans or alien animals, the difficulty will be completely different."

"You need more detailed guidance and more careful construction to allow them to step into the 'world' you have prepared without knowing it."

"Okay..." Lin Xiao kept the deputy leader's warning in mind.

Seeing Lin Xiao humbly accepting it, Ghost nodded, a smile appearing on his stern face.

"Then give it a try! I won't resist, and you try to weave an illusion on me."

"To you?"

"Yes..." Ghost pointed at his eyes and said with a faint smile, "You try to make me feel scared."

"...The difficulty is too high."

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly. He still knew how much he weighed.

In the illusion of his three-legged cat, the A-level hunter would only feel a huge sense of disobedience and no fear at all.

"Um…"

Ghost thought for a moment and felt that this request was unrealistic.

"Then...show me the most frightening and creepy image in your mind."

The deputy captain raised his lips and said to Lin Xiao:

"I love horror movies...it gives me inspiration for nightmares."

"The image that scares me the most?"

Lin Xiao nodded and began to search his memory carefully.

Then...

There was a strange look on his face.

"What? You thought of it so quickly?"

"I thought of it..." Lin Xiao nodded heavily and asked hesitantly: "Shall we start now?"

"Well...I won't resist, and I won't break the illusion. You do it."

The deputy captain smiled lightly and looked at Lin Xiao calmly.

Seeing the moonlight in his pupils...

Then, the whole world was smudged.

The white light gradually faded, and the surrounding environment also changed.

The ghost came back to his senses and looked around with interest.

This is an empty restaurant.

Soft seats, exquisite decoration, and a wooden dining table covered with a pink tablecloth with lace on the corners, giving it a cute girly feel.

The floor was clean, and a huge poster hung on the pink wall.

In the poster are two beautiful anime girls, wearing aprons, holding dinner plates, and smiling cutely at you.

Looking at the words on the poster, Ghost whispered:

"Pink... dreamy... maid cafe?"
