Every day the puppet is playing dead

Chongyu went downstairs happily.

For him, he still wants to stay in the illusion for a while, so that he can spend more time as a normal person, so he still likes it very much.

And the illusion of the "flower in the mirror" is indeed powerful. Ordinary illusions can barely support a scene, but after Chong Yu went downstairs, he unexpectedly discovered that the extension of the illusion was much larger than he imagined—— —

Where he lives, there are also scenes outside the building.

A small alleyway, a creaking air conditioner hanging above an old building, a familiar smell of toast, an old tree at the street corner and a green trash can.

Everything is so familiar and strange.

With a lot of emotion, Chong Yu looked around with nostalgia, and then he went straight to the stewed vegetable shop in his memory.

The stewed vegetable shop is not far from the old tree. It is a small private shop. It is said that three generations of the owner’s family have sold stewed vegetables. After the family made a lot of money, they set up a small shop here.

Compared with the stewed vegetables in outside chain stores, the stewed vegetables here are clean and hygienic and have a unique flavor, so many residents in this community will come to the boss to buy stewed vegetables, and Chongyu is a fan of the boss.

While walking, recalling the smell of stewed vegetables in his memory, Chongyu raised his hand unapologetically and wiped the corner of his mouth.

As usual, Chongyu walked into the shop.

The boss in front of the counter was still the same as in memory, and smiled at Chongyu. Just as he was about to say something, Chongyu raised his hand to stop the boss, and said quickly:

"I know you are a fake. All of this is reconstructed from my memory. Thank you very much. Now I just want to eat something, so don't engage in those vain things."

The fake boss was shocked by Chongyu's unreasonable logic of playing cards, the program in his body never expected to face such a situation;

When he couldn't react, the boss froze. He stood behind the counter, his face gradually blurred and melted into a ball.

Parts of the illusion are gradually collapsing.

Chongyu doesn't care about the strange behavior of the boss.

Chongyu happily picked up a plate of clean dishes, and under the "loving" gaze of the owner of the stewed vegetable shop, he frantically swept them away. Then, with a plate full of stewed vegetables, he went to the table next to him to eat.

Normally, the tables in this stewed vegetable shop are not for customers, but now Chongyu can't control so much, he will be moved to tears by the regained sense of taste, no matter how polite he is.

The sweet and spicy taste of stewed vegetables gradually bloomed on the tip of Chongyu's tongue.

While gnawing on the chicken feet, Chongyu was moved to tears.

Sure enough, this was still the taste in his memory.

Chong Yu's disdainful performance naturally caused the illusion to lose its original role.

The entire illusion gradually began to collapse under Chongyu's failure to play the cards according to the routine.

At the very beginning, the illusion outside the braised vegetables shop was gradually dissolving——

Starting from the corner of the street, black shadows spread over, and every time it clings to an object, the object immediately becomes distorted like paper touching a flame, and then is swallowed by the black shadow.

The old tree caught fire at once, and the flames devoured all the leaves in one go, and then the trunk.

The old wall was peeled and mottled, and a black vortex formed in the center, sucking in all the creaking air conditioner external units.

The building where Chongyu once lived began to melt, exposing the steel and iron bones inside;

The neighbors who were still chatting and laughing at the top of the stairs turned into stone statues in an instant, and finally sank to the ground.

However, when the small building melted halfway, revealing Chongyu's rental house, the roommate who was in the rental house and turned a blind eye to all the strange things suddenly stopped packing his luggage.

In the next second, his roommate, Wan Tubai, moved his eyes.

A ray of light suddenly appeared in the black pupils, and then Wan Chengbai stood up straight and threw the things in his hand aside.

Wan Tengbai clenched his fist, and he looked at his current position with a surprised expression.

Now Wan Tubai's expression is agile, his eyes are full of energy, he doesn't look like the dummy in the fantasy world who is only guided by Chong Yu's subconscious.

After discovering that he could control his body, Wan Tengbai chuckled inexplicably:

"Ah, finally..."

Wan Tubai didn't say the latter words.

He raised his head and looked around with nostalgia.

After figuring out where he was, Wan Tengbai quickly ran to the melted gap in the building. Without any fear, he jumped directly from the fifth floor.

If it was done according to the real world, Wan Tubai would have died long ago if he did this.

However, now, Wan Qibai landed lightly, with light movements, like a cat.

After standing up, Wan Tengbai noticed something strange in his body, he looked down at his hands, couldn't help frowning, and let out a "tsk".

All the characters in the illusion, after Chongyu collapsed the illusion, are petrified, becoming one with the dead, and finally swallowed by the illusion together with the environment.

Wan Tubai is no exception.

His hand is petrifying at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the range of petrification is spreading from his right hand upwards. It is likely that the entire upper body of Wan Tubai will be petrified soon.

"so troublesome."

Wan Tengbai snorted coldly, pinched a formula with the other hand, then stretched out his hand and tapped his shoulder a few times, after that, the petrification speed stopped temporarily.

And when Wan Tengbai moved, the black shadow behind him was still devouring everything he encountered, and soon, in the huge community, only the stewed vegetable shop was left intact.

At the moment when the black shadow was about to touch Wan Tengbai's heel, Wan Tengbai moved, and he ran to the stewed vegetable shop.

In order to attract business, there is a large piece of floor-to-ceiling glass in front of the braised vegetables shop. People standing on the glass can have a panoramic view of the scene inside the shop.

The stewed vegetable shop is not far from Wan Qibai's landing shop, and Wan Tanbai arrived at the stewed vegetable shop within a few steps of trotting;

And when there were still a dozen steps away from the stewed vegetables shop, Wan Tubai subconsciously lightened his steps, walked slowly to the stewed vegetables shop, and finally stood still in front of the glass.

Not surprisingly, he just stood at the stewed vegetable shop when he saw Chongyu eating heartily in the small shop directly through the glass outside the stewed vegetable shop.

Wan Tengbai saw Chongyu.

He stood where he was, watching Chongyu quietly through a layer of glass.

Looking at it, the corners of Wan Chengbai's lips were slightly upturned, and there was a kind of drowning tenderness in the black pupils.

His lips trembled, and he wanted to call Chongyu's name, but the name twirled around on the tip of his tongue, and Wan Tengbai shrank it back.

Wan Tengbai, who usually knows everything from left to right and is articulate, completely forgot about his own abilities at this moment. He just stood there blankly, looking greedily at Chongyu through a layer of glass.

From the perspective of others, Chongyu in the stewed vegetable shop is not good-looking.

Because he wanted to make up for the sense of taste he lost after becoming a puppet, Chongyu can be said to have completely lost his demeanor at this time——

The table was covered with chicken feet that he had thrown on a plate after eating, and his face was also a mess.

However, Xi Shi is in the eye of the beholder, and Wan Tubai felt vivid when he saw Chongyu so vivid, so vivid that his heart, which had been dead for a hundred years, finally started beating again.

"Well?"

Wan Tengbai's gaze was too hot for Chong Yu to ignore even if he wanted to.

As soon as he looked up, Chong Yu saw Wan Tubai standing outside the stewed vegetable shop, looking at him affectionately.

This scene is really weird.

Chong Yu paused, and silently put down the half-gnawed chicken feet in his hand.

Strange, isn't everything in this illusion shaped according to his subconscious and memory?

When would he want Wan Qi Bai to come to the stewed vegetable shop and see him eating in such a mess?

Chongyu thought about this question suspiciously.

In real life, Chongyu's attitude towards Wan Tubai is very complicated.

Compared with Wan Tengbai, Chongyu thinks that he is just a hard-working, ordinary ugly duckling thrown into the crowd and completely invisible;

And Wan Tengbai is a white swan who was born in Rome.

Therefore, although Chongyu doesn't show it on the surface, even though he has no choice but to take care of Wan Tubai, a "life idiot", Chongyu still feels inferior.

Therefore, Chongyu always tries not to let Wan Tengbai see his..."down-to-earth" way.

Knowing that the other party was probably fake, Chong Yu thought about it, and he honestly put the stewed vegetables aside. After tidying himself up, he stood up and walked towards the door of the stewed vegetables shop.

Chongyu saw that when he walked towards the door of the stewed vegetable shop, Wan Tubai, who was standing outside the glass, took a step back subconsciously.

Chong Yu:?

Pushing open the glass door, Chong Yu walked out, just in time to meet Wan Tubai face to face.

Wan Tengbai glanced at Chong Yu. At this moment, he seemed to have lost all courage again, and lowered his head, not daring to value Yu seriously.

Chongyu continued to glance at this "Wanqibai" suspiciously, and felt that this "Wanqibai" was much more vivid than the "Wanqibai" in the rental house before, so he asked:

"What are you doing here?"

Hearing Chong Yu's question, Wan Tengbai raised his head and glanced at Chong Yu in surprise, then he smiled at Chong Yu and said:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

His eye sockets were slightly red, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Chongyu didn't notice these visions, he was just surprised that the "Wanqibai" in front of him was slightly different at this time.

"As you said, we haven't been separated for long."

Chong Yu joked to Wan Tubai.

Wan Chengbai froze for a moment, the smile on his mouth disappeared, and he murmured:

"Soon?"

"Hey, these are not problems."

Chongyu looked at Wan Tengbai in front of him, and he felt that the reaction of the phantom in front of him was really interesting, so he took a step forward on a whim, and happened to be standing very close to Wan Tengbai.

The breaths of the two of them were almost intertwined at this moment. Wan Tubai didn't expect Chongyu to be so active. From such a close distance, he could almost see Chongyu's eyelashes clearly.

It's funny to say that Wan Tengbai, who has always been lingering among the flowers and plants, with blue face and confidante friends all over the mainland, now involuntarily held his breath, opened his eyes wide, and tried hard to restrain his urge to take a step back.

"What kind of game did you give me? It made me slip into it."

Chong Yu didn't dare to do anything now, he directly stretched out his hand and twisted Wan Tubai's ear, twisting it, purely to vent his anger.

This is the first person who dared to pull his ear!

When Wan Tengbai's ears hurt, he frowned directly, but seeing Chong Yu's angry appearance, Wan Tengbai did not dare to resist, but explained weakly:

"I'm sorry, I... didn't want to involve you in it."

If someone who knew Wan Tengbai stood here, he would definitely shout that the sun came out from the west.

You must know that "Long Aotian" has always been vengeful, if you slap me, I will destroy your whole family, and Wan Tubai is no exception;

However, looking at Wan Tubai's appearance, it is obviously a "sweet trouble" appearance, which makes people's teeth sour.

Hearing that "Wan Qibai" was actually following his words, Chongyu couldn't help but look at Wan Qibai in front of him a few more times, and then continued to ask:

"Why did you bring me in here?"

At the same time, Chong Yu let go of Wan Tubai's ear.

Wan Tengbai smiled softly, touched his ears, and then said to Chongyu:

"Because you are the only one I can find, who was randomly gifted with 'artifact reincarnation' by the system."

As soon as these words came out, Chong Yu was so surprised that his eyes widened. He looked at "Wan Tubai" in front of him as if he was looking at a monster.

While the two were talking, the black shadows spreading from a distance had already swallowed up the place from all directions, leaving only a small place with light and shadow like the stewed vegetable shop.

Chong Yu looked at the smiling "Wan Tubai" in front of him. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be afraid of a phantom, but at this moment his hair was terrified.

"Did I scare you?"

Wan Tengbai looked at Chong Yu affectionately, he sighed, and continued to say softly,

"I'm sorry, all this was not my intention, but..."

Wan Tubai didn't finish the rest of the sentence, and he showed a painful expression.

A few seconds later, under Chongyu's gaze, Wan Tubai returned to his usual state, he suddenly reached out and hugged Chongyu.

Chongyu wanted to resist, but Wan Tubai hugged Chongyu tightly, his arms tightly wrapped around Chongyu, as if he was holding the last straw, anxious and flustered.

"Come find me."

Wan Tengbai whispered in Chongyu's ear,

"I may have a way back... remember to come to me."

As soon as his words fell, the black shadow rushed over like a wave, swallowing the two of them together.

The illusion, broken.
