In fact, Lu Xin didn't quite understand why Mom wanted to say thank you to the old man, or Fire Thief.
Said it twice.
Until they walked out of the church, the flimsy wooden door closed behind them..
Lu Xin Suddenly discovered that the small town originally located outside the church had disappeared. Both the low and compact houses and the narrow stone paths between the buildings on both sides had disappeared. The same goes for the pots of flowers wet by the mist under the window panes. And the people living in different lives behind windows.
Where they were, there was only the dark red surface and the wind wandering unconsciously.
Occasionally, something shadowy would look up from behind the dilapidated ruins and look at them with fear.
This is not a seaside town, but an abyss.
Lu Xin turned around in shock and found that even the dilapidated church had changed its appearance.
It no longer seems to have an entity, just a shadow standing in the abyss, intertwined with different degrees of light and shadow.
You can even vaguely see that in this church, there is a monster with countless tentacles, facing statue of God at the end of the church, lowering its head, praying silently, and the statue of God it is praying for is also a monster with countless tentacles.
"Is it all fake?"
Lu Xin After a while, he spoke in shock.
In fact, clues had already been discovered when confronting the old man.
When he strangled the old man's neck, the surrounding background turned into the illusion of the abyss more than once.
It's just that I didn't realize it at the time.
Moreover, I have never seen an abyss shadow that is so similar to reality.
"Yes."
Facing Lu Xin's surprise, Mom sighed lowly, "They are all fake. Even our victory is fake."
After listening to her words, my sister hurriedly held her backpack, as if checking something.
However, Mom, Lu Xin, and her absent-minded father did not notice her little move.
Mom turned to look at Lu Xin and explained in a low voice, "Do you still remember the key step we took to defeat him just now?"
"I used my qualities against the corruption of truth."
"Trying to see the rules of how his abilities operate will help you grasp the most critical and real link."
"Under my gaze, his subjective consciousness took out a pen and prepared to modify the rules in the Book of Truth."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded immediately.
At that moment, it was precisely because of his action that he discovered him, and teamed up with his sister to catch him.
Otherwise, even if you directly summon the power from the past, you won't be able to find him.
Mom said softly, "He doesn't intend to change the rules."
"He picked up the pen just to erase the rule not to peek into fate, lest I get hurt too seriously."
"..."
Lu Xin was stunned and looked at Mom with some confusion.
Mom's expression looked very calm, and he said softly, "He actually has no intention of actually fighting us to the end."
"Otherwise, I might still be able to forcibly capture some of his weaknesses, and then give you a chance to catch him."
"But it will also cost me a lot."
"Objectively speaking, I don't want to show my weak side, but it is indeed possible that I will never see you again."
"..."
Inside, a sense of panic surged up.
Lu Xin Before, I didn't realize that I had just experienced such a dangerous scene.
Although he already has a spiritual core, he has also begun to skillfully use some of the powers he has mastered.
But after all, I had just entered this level not long ago, so I was not very sensitive to those subtle changes, nor was I accurate enough.
"But..."
After thinking for a while, he asked, "He really wants to trap us here."
He thought of the helpless chaos when the whole town rolled towards him and his family at the end.
At that moment, even I felt like it was difficult to see everything clearly.
"Yes."
Mom nodded slightly and said, "Because your gaze, or in other words, the gaze you summoned, angered it."
"To that look, he is indeed the most hostile of all of us."
"So, for a moment, he really planned to use his real power to trap us all in this place..."
"..."
As she spoke, she turned around, looked at this strange town, and said softly:
"This town is a separate space similar to reality that he constructed on the basis of the abyss."
"Everything in the whole town was his imagination."
"It is used to dilute the influence that the original power of fear has on the surroundings, so as to prevent this power from spilling into reality."
"You can understand that he's been carrying this fear on his own."
As she spoke, a smile slowly appeared on her face and she glanced in the direction of her father.
"Night Prisoner, or in other words, Night King, will naturally not feel good if he loses his authority."
"But trying to hide the authority of Night King from others is also very painful, and he needs to bear it alone."
"Especially, he is very confused now..."
"..."
At this point, she suddenly stopped and was slightly lost in thought.
After a while, he sighed softly and continued:
"You can imagine what it would be like for a person who is plagued by confusion and is constantly suffering from endless fear..."
"He hid the fear that should have appeared in this world in his own Spirit Hall, and endured the torment of this fear all the time, just like the man in myth who stole fire for mankind, and then endured the torture of pushing the stone to the top of the mountain day after day."
"So, for a moment, it's understandable that he wanted to take revenge on God..."
"..."
Lu Xin listened to the emotion and pain conveyed in Mom's words, and his expression was slightly stunned.
He didn't know if he accurately understood that state of mind, but he felt slightly depressed in his heart.
"So..."
After a while, he asked softly, "Why did he change his mind?"
"Because of your humanity."
Mom suddenly turned his head, looked at Lu Xin and said with a smile, "You don't want to kill him, nor do you want to kill the 'people' in this town."
"This comes from the good side of your humanity."
"Actually, for the ultimate, many things in human nature are just low-level thinking."
"..."
"..."
As she explained softly, her eyes became a little distant, and she sighed softly before continuing:
"I have taken you into the depths of the abyss before and seen the deeper things in the human heart."
"You should understand that no matter how beautiful things are, the ugly essence can be found in the abyss."
"Like love, it's just reproduction engraved in genes; like nurturing, it's just the maternal instinct deep in the heart; and like friendship, it's just derived from the insecurity of a large group of people; and the so-called kindness and compassion are actually just the fear deep in the heart, which causes one's own fear of this phenomenon, and thus the resistance."
"..."
Mom's words suddenly gave Lu Xin a huge shock in his heart.
He did see a lot when he went deep into the abyss last time.
However, there were too many things that were abstract, complex, and difficult to express accurately in words, so he did not discuss it more with Mom. Including this moment, she took the initiative to bring it up, and subconsciously, she wanted to deny it and refute her.
But when the words of rebuttal came out of his mouth, he faintly realized that he had nothing to say.
There are too many monsters in the abyss, all of which vaguely confirm Mom's words.
Just like a person who is exhausted every day in the company, maybe it is just because he is afraid of being abandoned?
"But he also said..."
Mom After saying this, he sighed softly and said, "Even he can't deny these things."
She seemed to see the shock in Lu Xin's heart, and said with a smile, "Sentimental things lose all meaning when explained rationally. Even in the abyss, you can see an ugly answer, but who can deny that in reality, a mother holding her child standing in the flowers and smiling, is the most touching picture in the world?"
Lu Xin was slightly startled.
He couldn't quite imagine what that scene would feel like, because he was a man and couldn't be a mother.
But when he imagined that scene, it was indeed beautiful.
"A lot of the time, feel it."
Mom, as Fate Seer, a person with Eye of Insight, softly suggested to Lu Xin:
"Don't look too deep."
"..."
"..."
Lu Xin's mood suddenly became relaxed after a moment of depression.
He suddenly felt that it was really strange.
Looking at things from different angles can indeed give people completely different feelings.
After a while, he smiled and nodded, and then asked the most crucial question:
"So, he decided to give us the power of fear just because of my low-level thinking?"
"..."
"Yes."
Mom nodded slightly, and then finally showed a smile on his face again, "You can understand that your humanity touched him."
"This is an existence that even gods will not be afraid of."
"God cannot look directly, but he would rather throw away his own eyes just to take a look at it."
"However, your humanity is something he cannot touch, so he is willing to believe you even in his confusion."
"..."
"..."
Lu Xin accurately heard her key points from Mom's words.
It's about believing in yourself.
Instead, believe in father...
After a moment of silence, he turned to look at his father.
Mom There was also a younger sister, who also turned to look at his father at this time.
After leaving the church, his father was feeling the power the mask brought to him, so he seemed very silent.
It wasn't until the whole family looked at him that he slowly raised his head.
Taking a deep breath, he spread his arms and started laughing.
While laughing, his body surged uncontrollably.
From a height of two to three meters, he grew to dozens of meters, hundreds of meters tall. He opened his arms in the abyss, as if to welcome the return of his power. His body grew by leaps and bounds, and he had grown to a height that everyone needed to look up to...
Wow...
Under his feet, large cracks and collapse suddenly appeared.
Where he stood, the shallow abyss world could no longer bear his mass and collapsed like ice.
All the sneaky creatures in every corner of the abyss felt his father's power. Whether they were conscious or not, they all shrank at this moment and tightened their bodies to the maximum. Those with hands covered their ears fiercely, and those without hands also tried hard to dig into the ground, trying to get into the ground.
Many creatures in the abyss opened their eyes suddenly in endless fear, as if they were waking up from a big dream.
Even the sparse greedy hands on the ground were cowered in fear.
Like frightened mimosa trees.
"The power of fear is indeed powerful..."
In the midst of a deafening oscillation that clearly had no actual existence, Mom's face became slightly tense as he looked at the monsters who suddenly woke up from their daze because of his father's laughter and looked around.
Lu Xin frowned slightly at first, and then understood.
He has seen many, there are many kinds of Mental Monster in the abyss.
But generally speaking, they are divided into two categories.
The more things in the human heart, the more monsters will be born in the abyss, but most monsters themselves have not yet awakened. They are just reflections of the human heart, with instinctive fear and the ability to avoid. However, such monsters will not have their own consciousness, and are more similar to plants. They only exist because there is a reason for their existence in this world.
But at this moment, my father's power revived, and they also awakened...
...Lu Xin thought about it, and suddenly realized another problem.
...Mom mentioned before that after the ultimate was born, he also went through a process of getting to know himself.
So, is it true that in the end, like these monsters in the abyss, there is a process of going from confusion to clarity?
"Boom..."
When Lu Xin was thinking about these problems, a huge plate tremor appeared.
It seemed that his father's power had surged too much, and even the ground in the abyss was shaking violently. The shadow-like shadows of buildings collapsed in an instant and were shaken to the ground. Countless monsters suddenly woke up amidst his laughter, and then followed their own instincts and moved step by step from all directions in the abyss, struggling to get over.
Fortunately, this is just some empty place in the abyss.
In the corresponding reality, it is just a desolate and uninhabited place.
Otherwise, just the process of his father's return would be enough to cause a disaster in reality.
The extent is no less than when Staff Hider came to the world.
"Da da da" "Da da da..."
More and more Mental Monster monsters gathered from a distance and crawled at his father's feet.
In the distance, violent spiritual ripples suddenly surged, as if a huge thing was passing through, and the earth cracked.
The endless mist surged in along with the huge tremors from all directions. It squirmed ferociously, as if it were invisible activity, sweeping up the dark red material unique to the abyss, sticking to the ground and surging over quickly. When it was close to the position of their family, it spread sharply, revealing monsters of different shapes, but all possessing terrifying spiritual power, crawling around.
"Lord..."
Lu Xin's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
Inspired by his father's laughter, he rushed over from the surrounding area. The Mental Monster crawling at its feet were all different from Lord-class.
This is a monster that will cause chaos if it appears in reality.
But at this moment, I felt the presence of my father, and docilely and fearfully rushed over to worship him.
"Hmph..."
But when these Mental Monster were prostrate at their feet, the father, who was laughing wildly, suddenly stopped.
Above the huge body, the eyes under the black mask glanced down coldly.
He felt the Mental Monster at all levels gathering from all around and crawling under his feet.
It was like an emperor surveying his army.
And the next moment, under his mask, those eyes suddenly became cold.
In the dark mist surging around him, big hands suddenly reached out to the side.
Some of these palms held weapons, and some were closer to tentacles, grabbing the surroundings in various strange ways.
"Tsk..."
Those weird big hands fiercely grabbed the monsters crawling at his feet, and then tore them apart fiercely.
A series of dull sounds of flesh being torn apart filled the surroundings.
Countless Mental Monster showed expressions of fear and pain at the moment they were torn apart, but they did not even dare to make a sound.
Those who were not caught by their father did not even dare to hide. They only dared to crawl on their knees and tremble.
Mom's face had darkened, and he looked at his father's killing spree with some indifference, without any intention of stopping it.
My sister's slender arms have even hugged Lu Xin's calf tightly.
My father actually got angry and started killing these monsters who showed their surrender.
This was something none of them expected.
In fact, throughout the whole process, he used the most primitive and cruel method, tearing it into pieces. These monsters that could run rampant in the abyss were torn into the most primitive spiritual power, scattered in the air, mixed into the dark red wind that would never stop in the abyss, carrying his fear and majesty, floating to all directions of the abyss, announcing his return.
Weird gnawing sounds, thin swallowing sounds, and even pure venting sneers.
Like a fine steel needle, it penetrated into Lu Xin's ear.
My father just casually turned this abyss into a hell-like place of despair, full of killing and fear.
Mom made no attempt to stop his father at this time, and neither did Lu Xin.
He can even get a glimpse of the crazy side behind his father's mask through this violent and cruel scene.
Night Prisoner, these Lord-class monsters cannot be summoned.
Night King, there is no need for these monsters.
"Kakakaka..."
This violent aura affected the surroundings, causing the entire abyss to tremble violently.
After tearing apart all the Lord-class monsters, my father suddenly leaned down with boundless cruelty.
The tall body looked at Lu Xin who looked like an ant in comparison.
The mask on that face looked like a huge lake at this moment, reflecting the fear in people's hearts.
But Lu Xin just looked at his father calmly, looking at the cold and cruel eyes behind his mask.
"I will definitely not do that security job again..."
It seemed like there had been silence for a long time before my father suddenly spoke. His cold and stern voice echoed around him, adding a sense of indifference.
Lu Xin nodded slightly and asked calmly, "So, will you come back to help me when I need it?"
In response to Lu Xin's question, his father's laughter suddenly became more playful. "What if I don't come?"
Lu Xin looked at his father quietly, a smile suddenly slowly appeared on his face, and he spoke slowly and seriously:
"Then I will find you, smash your mask, and lock your consciousness in the toilet."
"So that you will never be able to turn over..."
"..."
"..."
Maybe Lu Xin said it too seriously, or maybe his father didn't expect this answer.
Both men fell silent.
In the silence, my father's huge body trembled slightly, and his voice was filled with embarrassment and unconcealable fear:
"Hey, I was just joking with you..."
"..."
Lu Xin's face was expressionless, only there seemed to be a faint smile in his eyes, "I'm joking with you too..."
"Uh-huh!"
Although he was joking, his father's body suddenly shook.
Then, his huge body suddenly shrank rapidly and returned to its previous size.
Even the masked face seemed unable to conceal his panic and embarrassment at this time.
He even subconsciously raised his hand and complained seriously to Lu Xin: "The older you get, the less able you are to make jokes..."
"If you really encounter a problem, why wouldn't I come? I swear I will definitely come..."
"..."
"Huh?"
The younger sister poked her head out from behind Lu Xin again and looked at her father who was acting so strangely.
Mom was also on the side, pinching the tip of his nose helplessly.
Lu Xin just looked at his father silently. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "I don't believe it."
"I know you are joking, so I am joking with you too..."
"..."
The atmosphere didn't feel like a joke at all. Instead, there was more uncertainty, depression, and embarrassment.
After a while, my father looked at Lu Xin carefully and said tentatively:
"But I really don't want to do that security job..."
"..."
"I can understand."
Lu Xin nodded and said with a smile, "The salary they gave is indeed a bit low."
Then, he thought for a moment, looked at his father seriously, and said, "You can leave now."
"Adapt to your strength and restore your previous state."
"But..."
After a pause, he said seriously, "But you must remember Qinggang's rules for restraining ability users..."
"You cannot pollute normal people at will..."
"Can't cause panic..."
"Cannot impact the administration of other High Wall City or gathering points..."
"... The issue of lifestyle seems to have little to do with you, but you still need to pay attention!"
"..."
"..."
After listening to Lu Xin's instructions, his father couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment.
Although he was reluctant, he could only agree cooperatively, "Okay, okay..."
"I will definitely not make mistakes regarding my lifestyle..."
