old dream

Chapter 135 The Bound Woman

Since the first attempt, Colin's consciousness has entered this frequency for nine consecutive days, and each time he landed in the same cage, perhaps this is the coordinates where the shuttle demon was trapped.

Imaging is going on unconsciously all the time, and memory is like a wild horse, freely and quickly sorting out all perceptions with Colin's own logic.

The medium of illusion.

Colin tried to stop the imaging, wondering if he could look directly at the "real" virtual world without the help of these hallucinations.As a result, as the imaging stopped, consciousness was suddenly interrupted, like a lamp that suddenly went out.When I opened my eyes again, I found that it was already noon the next day, and I was still slumped on the seat.

I was extremely tired inside, and couldn't remember what I saw after the imaging was released.

That time, he was forced out of this abnormal frequency, and the process is unknown.After a little inspection, it was found that the original cracks in the shell of the heart closed up a lot unusually.

It was the heart shell that preserved his mind, so his consciousness was not completely crushed.At the same time it defensively erases a portion of the memory.This is a frightening result. If the "rift" is bigger, maybe I will never come back.

At present, I have no way to look directly at the virtual world beyond the phantom.

The method of imaging uses "past experience" to observe the virtual world, just like adding a layer of filter in front of your eyes.Although carefully preserved sanity, the observer will also be bound by the inertia of the old thinking, ignoring those things beyond his own perception.

But for a explorer, perhaps they are the real value.

Because explaining the unknown with the known structure is nothing more than talking to oneself after all.

Therefore, the "imaging method" is just a compromise strategy, which can allow human beings to see the imaginary world, but it cannot make people understand the imaginary world.As a result, it is rare to enter the hell in District 36, but everything I see here is the memory and afterimage of the material world.

That's why the Anhe people claimed that they had pierced the first curtain, and the Lighthouse Library would never admit it.

Colin looked at the surrounding environment, because he has been here nine times, he is already very familiar with this place.The Shuttle Demon's limbs were being nailed to a huge ancient wheel. The wheel rotated slowly as the center of gravity shifted, and its head also turned sideways.The riddle of the distribution of its eyes seems to have been solved humorously, and those broken and messy limbs are nailed to the outer wheel like spokes, as if because of endless executions, even their body structure has changed.

Of course, this is only a far-fetched explanation under the logic of the material world.Colin was still in the dark as to how certain kinds of devils actually existed.

Colin activated the hearth, drawing the tortured devil back into deep consciousness, and thus freeing him from the wheel.

The cell door was locked tightly, but Colin stood against the cell door, allowing the Shuttle Demon to appear on the other side of the cell door. He fumbled to open the cell from the outside, and walked out calmly.

In front of the eyes are the passages separated by countless iron fences, forming a space that can limit the freedom of prisoners and have no privacy.Looking up, you can see the boundless blood-red sky, and the demons are imprisoned in the wilderness, a place that is both open and depressing.

Because the method of imaging has been maintained, the burden on the consciousness is huge.Colin plans to limit the time spent exploring each imaginary world to less than one and a half hours.Maintaining a sense of time is more troublesome than expected, and I still have a watch on my wrist, but it is just an illusion.

He was inexperienced the first time and stayed here for more than two hours.As a result, my mind unknowingly became more and more turbulent. When I regained my senses, I almost couldn't use "return to zero" to return to the frequency of the physical layer.

If consciousness gets lost here, Colin doesn't know what will happen.I don't know if the actual physical body can still be awakened, or will I become a flawed spirit body here?
Levitating the Shuttle Demon in front, Colin cautiously followed the path he had explored several times before.It's too dangerous here, as the frequency of consciousness deviates, you may bump into other imaginary creatures, or meet other human walkers by coincidence.

Also as the messenger of the Urju demon, Colin once wondered if he would find traces left by the wizard "Horst" here.

However, even if he understood the meaning of the "key" without a teacher, the wind demon parasitic on Horst does not belong to Area 32, so in theory, there will be no intersection between them here.

After each return in the past few days, Colin would draw a map to help him remember some noteworthy places.So that the next time you enter, you can come to the specific location as soon as possible.

Most of the cages on both sides of the corridor are empty, maybe there is indeed nothing here, or maybe there is no intersection with Colin's consciousness frequency.Colin walked through these invisible horrors with a blank face. This route has been visited several times, so there is no need to be as careful as before.

"Click."

The lock was twisted by the end of the shuttle's limb, and a cage was opened.

There are several chains on the wall-like fence in front, all of which are nailed to a person.The man lowered his head, his entire face covered by long hair.The only jacket was worn out, and the lower body was sitting sideways on the dirty ground.The two arms are like a pair of wings that have been forcibly opened, and the wrists are pierced by the iron rings hanging from the chains. The surrounding area of ​​the wound has been glued to the iron rings and everything has turned black. Because of the long time, it is more like growing from the wrist. out of chains.

Colin discovered this man, or demon, two days ago.It seems to have the appearance of a woman, but it is already out of human form and difficult to recognize.There was a piece of wood running through her left chest, maybe it was originally a handle on a certain weapon, but it was left here after being sawed off by someone, completely stained by the corrupt blood in her heart, and lost its true color.

There was a sound of shattering iron chains colliding, and the bound people noticed Colin's arrival.The teeth that have been bitten into the tongue have been making a rattling sound.

Ke Lin didn't know whether her power was originally below Chi Erxing, or because of her long-term weakness, she slipped into her observable power frequency.

So even though the imaging was done, he didn't take the risk of calling her into the material world.

When she saw this "person" for the first time, she even tried to stand up, as if she was ashamed to appear in this posture.But her ankles were locked together by the same anklet, so these efforts were in vain, and she could only sit sideways on the cold ground helplessly.

The chains on the wall were pulled, and the rust and cobwebs that had accumulated for a long time fell like dust.

So now she just watched Colin's arrival numbly, with neither anger nor fear in her eyes.

"Do you want to get out of here?"

Colin has asked this question for two consecutive days. At the same time, he let the shuttle demon levitate to his side to protect himself, and at the same time hinted to the other party that he has the ability to free the devil in the cage.

Although it's just entering another cage.

But the expression of the other party remained unchanged, and Colin gradually realized that he might have misunderstood, because the yearning for freedom never appeared in that person's eyes.

Maybe she's been pinned here for so long that she's forgotten even what it's like to roam free.

"who are you?"

So Colin changed his plan and wanted to get information about this hell from the other party.

The cage here is leaking everywhere, and those bars can't block the view at all. Maybe she has seen something with her own eyes.
