861 In the Illusion
“You’ve stayed too long without us, and look what has happened to you!”
Her grandfather lectured, staring at Yao Tang’s blank expression. “Tangtang, you really shouldn’t be going down the mountain without us. It’s too dangerous! Why don’t you stay with us? Don’t you think it’s more peaceful here?”
His eyes were cloudy, but they were still filled with love.
The two of them were just like her ordinary grandparents who loved their granddaughter dearly. There was a certain reluctance in their gaze as they regarded their granddaughter.
!!“It’ll be hard for us to see you again if you head there.”
Her grandmother held Yao Tang’s hand.
The atmosphere was just so warm and comfortable.
“I should leave.”
Without any hesitation, she let go of her grandmother’s warm hand. There was a certain coldness in her eyes. Long was the warmth in her actions and words.
And within the next second, her surroundings began to change.
The appearance of the old couple began to blur in front of her. The house around them also began to shake as if they were suffering from a large earthquake. The basket toppled onto the floor, spilling out all the herbs that they had collected.
It was as if her universe began to shatter into complete chaos.
The storm rumbled behind them as the clouds darkened. The warm atmosphere was replaced with the cold and biting wind.
The old couple gazed at her in surprise.
“No, you can’t do this!” Her grandmother protested. “If you leave, you won’t be able to see us again.”
“Don’t leave!”
“Come back, please!”
Their painful wails echoed throughout the valley, and the happiness they once felt had long since disappeared. Desperation filled their faces.
Before she could say anything else, her surroundings had turned into a desolate land once again.
…
On the other side of the vision, the crowd in the center of the dense forest stared at the person in front of them. At that time, Xiao Bing was handcuffed to a tree.
It was difficult for her to move.
As she was struggling, Yao Tang was lying limp on Lin Xin’s lap. Qin Jing was slowly combing her hair, watching her friend cautiously. She had just fainted.
Yu Chen was also unconscious.
However, he wasn’t as lucky as no one had caught him.
Meng Yang was on the side, ferociously smashing his fists against the tree. His face was riddled with guilt as his friend’s face filled her mind.
What if Sister Tang didn’t wake up?
If only he had been more careful, Sister Tang wouldn’t have fallen for that person’s trap. Although, he didn’t exactly know what had happened.
What he did know was that he’d be in deep trouble if Sister Tang didn’t wake up soon.
What should he do?
“Just give up!”
Although Xiao Bing was caught, she was still gloating. It’s as if she wasn’t worried about her safety at all.
“So what if you can save everyone? You’re still going to watch her get lost in her dream. You still wouldn’t be able to save the one you hold most dear.”
She could tell that the man cared about the girl.
When the illusion appeared, he had saved the others, but it was too late to save the girl.
That man must’ve been the one who had broken the array at the entrance.
She had taken out the red crystal earlier because it had an automatic defense system.
Once used, everyone apart from the user would be pulled into an illusion.
They’d dream of what they yearn the most.
Only a few people would escape this illusion unscathed. In fact, many of the people who had suffered under the crystal would die inside their dreamscape.
Those who were stuck there had always been unwilling to leave.
Even if their lives were at stake.
However, she underestimated the strength of the man in front of her. After entering the illusion, he managed to pull all of his companions out, except for the girl.
Even after hearing her taunts, Cheng Yan didn’t appear to be nervous.
He lowered his head to check her calm expression and frowned. “She can come out of it whenever she wants.”
He appeared to be very confident.
“Impossible.”
Xiao Bing snorted.
An ordinary girl wouldn’t be able to escape her illusions!
