Door village.

It turns out that the condition for touching the "illusion of natural elements" is concentration.

In the scorching training ground, Delen once again saw the "fire illusion"... Although the intensity was not as strong as I felt near the blacksmith shop before, the level of being trapped in the sea of ​​fire and smoke from the seven orifices was still like being mounted on a barbecue grill, and every inch of the body could feel the burning pain of the flame licking!

The brown boy fled from the training ground.

But immediately afterwards, Daren wanted to take a shower at the Red Onyx River south of the village - the river was named after its crystal-clear red pebbles, and it was the place where the children in the village liked to play in the water the most - but after a while, Daren once again inspired another illusion.

The ubiquitous water surged from all directions, quickly filling his nostrils, mouth, trachea and lungs...

The "water element illusion" almost made Daren think that he was going to drown in the Red Onyx River!

The continuous illusions, strong pain and fear almost defeated the brown boy's spirit. You must know that he is only a sixteen-year-old boy after all. This kind of real feeling of dying is about to be crazy even if an adult experiences it occasionally, let alone a continuous experience.

The only reason he desperately told Deren that it was all fake! He barely got up and stumbled back to the village.

But until he returned home, Delen was still panting, his eyes were as nervous as a frightened bird. He looked at everything around him and was extremely nervous, full of doubts about life. He always felt that something terrible suddenly popped up in the next moment, bringing a new round of torture to himself!

Fortunately, strange things didn't happen...Dalen saw his mother and sister Enid, who were doing their own things as usual.

"Dalen, are you back? How do you feel?"

"Good boy, come here, you must be thirsty..."

But Daren seemed to have not heard of it, and no one paid attention to it. Instead, he slowly walked to the closet, picked up the thick 6 travel notes, walked into his room, and closed the door with a "bang".

After a while, a faint sob came from the door!

“Woo woo…”

The owner of the voice was obviously trying hard to suppress it, but he still failed to completely block the sound.

This strange situation immediately scared the white woman Diana. She hurried to the door of Daren's room, her whole face pressed against the door, and gently asked in a trembling voice what she had given birth! With a mother's understanding of her son, she could feel that Daren's condition was very wrong, very wrong!

But no response was heard in the room. Diana's words of comfort were like a rock sinking into the sea. Only the sobs that sounded at that time proved that Delan was still inside.

On the other side, Enid was also stunned.

This is the first time she has seen Deren break down and cry like this since she was adopted!

Could it be that the natural elemental illusion brought by the crystal ball is so painful that it completely defeated a boy who was always strong?

For the first time, she realized the seriousness of the situation.

Perhaps it is the long-term foresight that will make a person habitually underestimate everything and think that things are always under control. Although Enid had thought that the crystal ball was a difficult problem before, he never really tried his best to find a way to solve it! The girl even once thought that this crystal ball that she could not see through could bring any special benefits to Delen?

But it was not until this moment that she truly felt Deren's panic, anxiety, and pain.

No wonder he tried so hard to get out the crystal ball, and for this, he did not hesitate to take medicine and vomit and diarrhea, making himself feel like a serious illness...

Enid, who figured this out, slowly opened her eyes wide.

The pair of black and deep pupils, as if they were endless abyss, stared at the door of Deren's room. After a while, the girl's body trembled slightly, and sweat was oozing from her forehead.

If Diana's eyes were fine, or there were other people in the room, she would see that as the girl named Enid tried her best, her skin gradually became fluorescent and transparent, the freckles on her face disappeared, a light golden halo appeared on the tip of her light flax-colored head, and a layer of white light seemed to be plated around her, as if she became holy.

This scene happened to change exactly the same as Enid's appearance every time he fell into a nightmare at night.

Prophecy!

The girl's eyes gradually disappeared from focus. She frowned, but her eyes were like passing through layers of fog, looking into the endless distance... Under the power of mystery, the secret of time is gradually peeling off the cocoon, turning into silhouettes and passing by quickly, and she wanted to find the picture containing the "crystal ball" in it!

This is obviously not an easy task.

Until a moment later, Enid's body shook gently and she sat down with her strength at the dining table... Her expression was exhausted, but she was more aggrieved.

Can't see it!

Nothing can be seen!

Regarding the crystal ball, there was no figure in all the pictures... What's even more terrifying is that in the farther future scene that Enid tried his best to see, Daren was not only safe, but also did not mention the crystal ball at all, as if it had never existed in those futures!

This is obviously a serious paradox.

Daren has obviously eaten it, and has suffered severe trouble and torture. It is impossible for him to completely forget this experience after a while...

What does this mean?

Enid gradually understood.

What I saw myself was probably just assuming that the crystal ball did not exist in this world at all, and everything should have normal development trajectory!

But as she once said, time is like an unpredictable river. Any slight change will lead to completely different development trajectories, which means many different future lines. Enid cannot see through the crystal ball, so the new future lines led by the existence of the crystal ball are invisible to her...

To sum up:

The mysterious crystal ball interfered with the effect of the prophecy, making Enid temporarily become a "blind man".

"Yes, prophecy is not omnipotent. I reminded Deren again and again, but I forgot this." Enid lay on the table with some guilt, looking at the closed wooden door, "I'm sorry, I'm causing you to swallow the crystal ball without figuring it out. I should be more cautious."

In Dellen's room.

The situation here is somewhat different from what the two women outside imagined.

Instead of burying himself in the quilt and crying, Delan knelt on the bed, and the thick travel notes spread out in front of him, pinching his thighs while sobbing.

In fact, half of the reason why Daren cried was because today's illusions really hit him. The pain was really serious, and the feeling of being on the verge of death made him a little collapse... But the other half's very important reason was because he thought of some of the records in Lao Buer's adventure stories recorded in the Great 6 Travels.

In those adventure stories, in addition to writing about terrible monsters and all kinds of companions, there is also a lot of space to describe the terrible environment of those monster nests!

What kind of underground lava river with blazing flames, the snow field where cold wind can cut clothes, and the swamp with toxic miasma...

Daren remembered very clearly that the flame illusion he felt on the training ground was not as severe as in the blacksmith shop, which was enough to show that the more extreme the illusion it brought, the more serious the illusion it brought. But just the illusion brought by these ordinary environments today, such as the scorching sun training ground, and the Red Onyx River, which was not as fast as the turbulent water flow, would be almost collapsed! And if it were replaced by those more terrifying nests, how terrible the pain he felt would be?!

In the past, when Daren talked about monster nests, he only had excitement and would scream with Gene excitedly, but that was because there was never a real concept.

Today, he really felt scared.

The fear of death, the fear of pain brought by higher-level illusions... The fear made him feel ashamed, the fear made him feel wronged, the fear made him unable to stop hating himself and began to cry! Because he knew clearly that he had retreated. That night, the sixteen-year-old brown boy locked himself in the door alone, and for the first time he began to consider such a question:
Chapter completed!
