Chapter 31
Everything that exists is false.
————————————————————————————
"Do you dare to challenge", this is a vegan reality show. It is very popular on the live broadcast platform. Although there is no formal distribution, the number of viewers is already considerable.High Priest Mingyun's common identity outside is Xu Liuyun, and he even has an ID card and parents. This time he brought money into the group, and the director and others only regarded him as a rich second generation with a lot of money.
There are a total of ten amateurs in each episode of the program. After many tests, the champion will be determined and won a prize of 10 yuan.The recording location is in a villa spirit room, the decoration here is very simple, it looks like a temporary studio.
There are many blue spiritual power floating around, representing the entrance of each environment.There are also several small bee cameras flying around in the air, filming the contestants of this issue.Xu Liuyun's silver-white long hair was tied up, and he was wearing a black robe with dark patterns. A thin black and white ring-shaped snake was wrapped around his wrist, which was as delicate as a bracelet.In addition to Xu Liuyun, Ye Ducha also participated in this show.
It is very problematic for Ye Zhizhi to appear here. After all, he is a very serious and good supervisor. I don't know why he came to participate in such a vulgar entertainment program.
Since the farewell to Bai's City, Ye Ducha chased and killed Xu Liuyun several times, and the two met here now. Xu Liuyun thought that there would be another fierce battle, but Ye Ducha's momentum seemed to weaken naturally.
It's as if someone opened the photo album on your mobile phone suddenly, and there is an inexplicable embarrassment in the air.
"Night Supervisor", Xu Liuyun sat beside him with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be interested in participating in this program."
Ye Zhi knew it was very unnatural, and he didn't speak to Xu Liuyun.In the eyes of Superintendent Ye, this silver-haired man is always inexplicably strange, mixing with people like Ming Chen who is unclear and good at using others, I'm afraid he is not a good person.
He sat there in embarrassment, he really didn't expect to meet an acquaintance, and a thin layer of red could not help but appear on the vicissitudes of his face.The contestants have arrived one after another, and the program team announced that there will be a special guest to help out.
The guest was late for a while, and everyone chatted with each other, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.A girl with short hair said, "I came here because I heard that you can watch handsome guys for free in this episode, haha. Wow, you little snake is so cute, is it real or not?"
Xu Liuyun tucked his wrist in, and said with a casual smile: "I came here to win the bonus when I was idle and bored. Speaking of which, Ye Ducha, you didn't come here because you heard that you could date beautiful women in this period, right?"
The slogan of this program is exactly this: Are you still single?Do you want to have the most beautiful kiss in the world?Sign up for the latest issue of "Beautiful Temptation", give you the most gentle experience in the world, and win a cash prize of [-].There is also a chance to get close to the big V of Internet celebrities!
Ye Zhixiao thought of the promotional words, pretended to be calm and drank tea, as if he didn't know.
While everyone was chatting, the guest finally arrived, and it turned out to be Chen Xinghe.He was wearing a sportswear, and whenever he appeared, he warmed people's hearts, without any airs, and he was followed by a girl who looked exactly like him. According to him, they were the same person.The media and the general public have long accepted his alien setting and found it quite interesting.He has a cooperative relationship with the live broadcast company that recorded the show, so it's not surprising that he can be a guest.
After all ten people arrived, the director opened a blue spiritual power circle.Compared with the simple lounge, this place is obviously carefully built with luxurious spiritual power.This is a four-storey cylindrical building with a fine iron sheet on the outside, carved with patterns.
The director said: "After you enter, there will be tests on each floor. On the first floor, there is no elimination, but you have to tell the reason for your choice. On the second floor, according to the choice you made, the wrong ones will be eliminated. The first floor On the third floor, there is no elimination, but you can choose to abstain. On the fourth floor, the champion is determined according to the final choice. Our program team has tried this game many times. So far, there has been no winner. I can remind you That is, all the tests are related to appearance, to see if you can withstand the temptation of "beauty"."
After the director finished speaking, the guests couldn't stop laughing. Now that you know the rules, it's very simple. Enter with the mentality of a monk, knowing that it's all fake, can you still make mistakes?I don't know why it is said that no one in the program group can pass the level. Everyone is very curious, while doing psychological construction in their hearts.
The short-haired girl said to the tracking recorder flying in the air, "I'm different, I'm here to see if your program group can make me a handsome guy I like, haha, but I think that little silver-haired guy My brother is very good-looking, let's strike up a conversation later."
This girl has a very good sense of the camera, and she will talk to her exclusive follow-up recorder every few steps, adding various scenes.Xu Liuyun was walking with Chen Xinghe, they were old friends for many years.Chen Xinghe, two identical men and women with pink hair, tilted their heads at the same time, and asked strangely, "Where is that person?"
Xu Liuyun covered the snake in the wide sleeves of his robe: "Who is it? Can you two not talk at the same time? It makes me dizzy."
Chen Xinghe has great influence, and he has long heard about what Xu Liuyun did during the Dragon God Ceremony.Obviously bewitched by foreigners, he was very worried about the high priest.He vaguely sensed the strange aura coming from Xu Liuyun's body, but he smiled and said nothing.He could feel that Xu Liuyun was rather defensive towards this evil person, so it was not easy to speak positively about him.
Seeing the faint smiles on the two Chen Xinghe's, Xu Liuyun felt terrified.While speaking, ten people entered the first floor of the iron box, the door was closed tightly, and the director did not follow in. Everything was automatically recorded by their own exclusive recorder, and those who were eliminated would be automatically sent out of this illusion.
The first floor is a spacious and warm room with patterned carpets on the floor and incense burning at the table.A dozen beauties of different shapes came out from behind the curtain, and the director sent a message in the recorder: "Now, everyone, please choose the person who will accompany you through the level. You can choose or not. There is no elimination in this link, but you must explain the reason. .”
Xu Liuyun looked at the beauties in front of him. Although he was clean and abstinent, he was no stranger to women. The maids in Mingxi Palace were all heavenly.
There are beauties from teens to decades, which can satisfy most people's preferences.In addition to beautiful women, there are also several handsome men, children and old people.I really don't know what the program team thinks, will there be people who will expose their abnormal hobbies in front of the camera?
Sure enough, the night inspector picked a girl in her twenties, wearing sportswear, with a vigorous appearance similar to Yan Ran.Night Supervisor kept an arm's distance from the girl, and said coldly: "Follow me this time." Night Supervisor is usually a macho man, and he doesn't get along well with girls nowadays. Unexpectedly This girl was full of joy and eyes full of admiration, and the two slowly got along very well.
Chen Xinghe actually chose a cute boy, and almost got into an argument with the short-haired girl.The short-haired girl said to the recorder in horror: "I'll leave it to him, my God, I simply don't fit in with the Internet celebrity group because I'm not gay."
The two Chen Xinghe took the boy's hand from left to right, and led him for a walk around the venue. The boy was a little embarrassed by them. Chen Xinghe happened to like this shy and pure type very much, and they chatted in just a few minutes They hit it off very well, male Chen Xinghe and female Chen Xing each tilted their heads, teasing him with one sentence after another.
Among the ten people, there were three determined people who did not choose a partner. Xu Liuyun was one of them. He said to the recorder: "I am here to get the bonus, and I will not be tempted by any temptation." The exclusive recorder recorded and analyzed his data, and Xiao Wing Buzzing in the air.
The director team opened the passage leading to the second floor, passing through the dark spiral staircase, the second floor was empty, and there were ten doors on the opposite side.The director team asked everyone to enter the illusion behind the door with their partners, and eliminated a group of people after making independent choices.
Chen Xinghe and the two led the boy and walked in first. Behind the door was a vast expanse of white snow.After reaching the door, the boy disappeared.
A few red chairs appeared on the snow, and the young man was sitting on them wearing a flowery robe, surrounded by several beautiful and innocent boys, some of them were holding a mahogany lute and playing, and some were holding a red wooden pipa. A flute is blowing horizontally, and the melody is full of youthful and healthy breath.There are pink dragon's breath flowers blooming in the snow, and the faint fragrance seems to have a hallucinogenic effect, filling people's hearts with a warm and beautiful illusion.
The male Chen Xinghe was still watching fascinatedly, but the female Chen Xinghe suddenly raised her finger and pointed at the teenagers, saying: "They have changed." The male Chen Xinghe nodded: "It's getting old."
The teenagers in front of him suddenly grew old at a speed that could be detected by the naked eye. When Chen Xinghe looked at them, he turned into a few skeletons, dressed in beautiful costumes, sitting in the snow and playing the pipa .
Endless sadness came from all around, overwhelming Chen Xinghe.It was a feeling of asking for help in despair, and in an instant the fragrance of dragon's breath directly hit Chen Xinghe's heart.The boy just turned into a skeleton, still playing the piano with his head down.At this time, a mechanical voice came from the recorder: "Guest Chen Xinghe, you have the right to rescue this young man. You can choose to help him escape from here and return to his youthful appearance. Or let him play the piano in the form of a skeleton. In the next moment, Will be wiped out. Please choose, to save or not to save."
The male Chen Xinghe turned his head and said, "I think he's pretty good looking like this."
Female Chen Xinghe said softly: "We must respect life's birth, old age, sickness and death, every stage is beautiful."
Chen Xinghe is an alien after all, no matter how hard he tries to present a gentle and reliable image, he doesn't think he is a human in his heart.
On the other side, Xu Liuyun also walked into the nearest door alone. He has been abstinent all year round, and he doesn't think anything can tempt him.
Since he didn't bring his partner up, the chairs in the snow were empty and no one was there.The pipa was blown by the wind, and a simple piece of music loomed in the wind.Xu Liuyun closed his eyes and listened, it was that song.
Simple but very familiar melody.Ming Chen also heard it, the snake on his wrist was lazily grinding his teeth on his fingers.
The song gradually shattered in the wind, and he suddenly saw a tall skeleton appearing on the chair, with dark, emotionless pupils looking at him sadly.
It looks like Mingchen. . .Xu Liuyun was startled and couldn't help but took a few steps forward.The smell of hallucinogens came from the fragrance of dragon's breath, and the mood of sadness and despair permeated the snow.
When Xu Liuyun touched the material of the Chinese clothing, the smooth and cool texture was so real.The same question came from the recorder, "Contestant Xu Liuyun, you have the right to rescue this man. You can choose to help him escape from here and return to his youthful appearance. Or let him play the piano in the form of a skeleton. In the next moment, he will be wiped out. Please choose, to save or not to save." Xu Liuyun was stunned for a moment: "Ashes fly... the smoke disappears?"
He saw the little snake wrapped around his wrist, and touched the snake's head with one hand. The snake shook its head impatiently, and bit his wrist with its fangs as a warning.The pain made Xu Liuyun withdraw from the sad hallucination for a moment, and he realized that what he was seeing was just an illusion arranged by the program crew.
He shook his head at the recorder: "No help."
Hearing Xu Liuyun's choice, the man with the skeleton suddenly opened his arms and hugged him. Xu Liuyun froze in place, watching the skeleton make a mouth shape, which was, "I love you".
In the next second, it shattered in front of him like countless fly ash. Xu Liuyun reached out to fish it, but only caught a large snowflake.The hallucinations in the air are like substance, the strong sadness and love, like the ambiguous sweet fragrance that cannot be dissolved.
Xu Liuyun was immersed in it, and subconsciously covered the little snake with his sleeve.
The mechanical sound of the recorder came from Xu Liuyun's ear: "The contestant Chen Xinghe chose correctly, and he can pass the third floor."
These so-called partners are all illusioned by the director team. If they choose to rescue them, they will fall out of this illusion.The third floor is a spacious room, in which there are ten standing full-length mirrors.
There were nine people who came to the third floor, and most of them could see the director's team's intentions clearly and would not fall on the simplest floor.Although there is something lost after the choice, everyone also knows that these are all fake.Only one of the ten people failed to clear the level, Xu Liuyun looked around, and Ye Zhizhi was the one.
The recorder said: "Now the director team wants to temporarily change your appearance, please stand in front of the mirror according to the number."
Xu Liuyun came to the No. 6 mirror, the spiritual power antenna on his head flickered, and the recorder buzzed beside him, probably analyzing his personality preferences.
Slowly, the face in the mirror changed, and the eyes became more and more transparent from a light amber color, and finally turned into a completely transparent bright white, which looked very terrifying.The skin and hair became more and more transparent, but a thin black line appeared on the chest.
Xu Liuyun couldn't help but took a step back, the person in the mirror still looked transparent and white, staring at him in amazement, with a hint of fear in his eyes.Xu Liuyun's hair was silvery white when he was born, and his eyes were almost transparent at that time, shining white light.The family regarded him as a monster. At first, his mother carried him everywhere to seek medical treatment. Later, when he was four or five years old, his mother secretly ran away from home.Dad had no choice but to give up on him, and took the initiative to send him to be a sacrifice for the Dragon Festival.
After Xu Liuyun grew up, he secretly went to find his mother, but he dared not recognize her for a long time.He still can't let go of it in his heart. It's not that he can't forgive his parents, but he can't forgive himself.It was obviously a stable and happy family, but because of his arrival, his wife and children were separated. In his memory, he never called out the words "father and mother".He really wanted to call out to his face, but he had no face to answer.
He looked at himself in the mirror which was completely white, and rubbed his eyes with his hands, but the color was still bright white.He felt extremely uncomfortable and sick.
The recorder buzzed at this moment: "All contestants, this is what you look like in your heart. You will complete this recording with your truest appearance. There is 1 minute for everyone to think about whether to continue."
Xu Liuyun closed his eyes and left the mirror.Now that he has come, he must persevere. He is a person who will never give up, and now he can only endure this disgusting appearance.It was just a short hallucination, Xu Liuyun comforted himself in his heart.
The little snake seemed to be bored, and stuck its head out from the sleeve of his robe, swam to his shoulder, and automatically turned into a pattern on the clothes.The little snake looked at him with his head sideways, his eyes were very numb.Xu Liuyun pinched it down with two fingers, pinched the little snake until it fainted, tied a few knots, and stuffed it into the close-fitting pocket inside the robe.
Without Ming Chen's peeping, Xu Liuyun felt much more relaxed, it didn't matter, even if it was a monster.Xu Liuyun wandered to Chen Xinghe's side. He wanted to chat casually, but he saw that the other party simply turned into a floating cluster of cosmic stars, with pink light shining against the background of the dark universe.
Xu Liuyun: . . .
The nine people turned into strange appearances, and went to the fourth floor under the director's instructions.
The fourth floor is still ten illusion doors, Xu Liuyun strode over fearlessly, opened the door and found that it was also on a vast snowfield.
The layout here is almost the same as that on the second floor, the only difference is that there are mirrors in the surrounding snow.Looking at the past from any angle, Xu Liuyun could see himself like this.He was already numb, seeing Ming Chen's figure appearing on the mahogany chair, wearing the black patterned dress he often wore, which was the one on Xu Liuyun.
Xu Liuyun stood where he was, looking at him from a distance.The other party asked, "Do you still like the shark necklace I gave you?"
Xu Liuyun remained silent, staring at himself in the mirror through Ming Chen's phantom.
Ming Chen leaned on the chair, with his legs resting on the armrests naturally, smiling and looking at him tenderly.In reality, Ming Chen would never have such eyes, those eyes full of tenderness similar to Chun Shui.
Xu Liuyun finally shifted his gaze to him, but the other party still didn't speak, and looked at him with a smile.His eyes flicked across his face, hair, neck and body.
Xu Liuyun had never been looked at with such tender eyes. His pale and transparent face was a little red and ashamed, and he lowered his head.
The snow under his feet slowly turned into a mirror, and the disgusting and terrifying reflections everywhere made him invisible.
He silently accepted Ming Chen's gaze, while secretly praying that the show would end soon, but at the same time he didn't want it to end so soon.When he looked up again, the person on the chair had turned into a skeleton in fine clothes.
Still looking at him with such affectionate eyes.Xu Liuyun knew that these were all projections of his own imagination, and the little snake on his chest was as hot as a soldering iron, making him extremely uncomfortable.
The mechanical voice rang again: "Contestant Xu Liuyun, you have a chance to choose, should you save him, or watch him disappear again?"
Xu Liuyun looked at the skeleton in front of him, mustered up the courage to walk over, put his hands on the back of the chair, and looked down at him.He wanted to be able to look at Ming Chen for a while longer, even if the other party turned into a skeleton, his empty eyes were still focused and deep in Xu Liuyun's direction.
The bright dust in this illusion is something that he would never have seen in his usual imagination, he never imagined that a person's eyes could be so gentle.
He reached out and touched the cold skull, and the desire to protect rose in his heart.Because I acquiesce in my heart that I am a terrible monster, I don't care about anything, as long as I protect the beautiful, kind, and pure Mingchen.
(Chen Xinghe: Have you misunderstood kindness and purity?)
As if the skeleton really had a soul, he raised his head and kept looking at Xu Liuyun.Xu Liuyun was undoubtedly bewitched, and the buzzing voice of the machine reminded: "The final countdown is still ten seconds away. If you don't make a choice, the other party will be wiped out by default."
Xu Liuyun closed his eyes, recalling the scene of him being wiped out in the heavy snow, and said, "I chose to save him and keep him young forever."
The system recorded Xu Liuyun's choice bit by bit, and the skeleton in front of him was instantly filled with galloping blood and smooth skin.Long black hair, gorgeous clothes, and deep and gentle eyes.
Xu Liuyun watched seriously, and raised his hand to touch his hair, but stopped in mid-air.As a high priest, the lust ring is absolutely unbreakable. The previous high priests are all gods, otherwise they will suffer extremely terrible curses.Whether it is the high priest or the object of the priest's love, he will be punished with the pain of being scattered.In the Ming Huai Sect, after death, those who have achieved true fruition will turn into the purest dragon's breath flower, which grows at the end of the world and quietly guards their homeland.This is also the peaceful destination that everyone yearns for.
Thinking of this, Xu Liuyun was about to withdraw his hand, but was pinched by the other party.Ming Chen held his hand with both hands, covered the back of his hand, wrapped him up, and looked at him quietly.Xu Liuyun couldn't help but look up at Ming Chen, in reality, the two of them got along with each other, playing and joking, there had never been and it was impossible for such a gentle situation to happen.
Because in essence, Ming Chen is a half-human, half-snake beast, his eyes are numb.Xu Liuyun felt the back of his hand being gently rubbed by the other party, as if his heart had been rubbed.Why. . .Why is this illusion so real. .
He could clearly feel the temperature of the palm, and even the texture of the palm.Xu Liuyun inadvertently caught a glimpse of his own figure in the mirror, with white hair, white pupils, and white to transparent skin.He thought of the inadvertent fear in his father's eyes every time he saw him when he was a child.There was the same fear in his eyes at this moment.
Ming Chen suddenly took his hand, put it to his mouth very carefully, as if he wanted to kiss him.Xu Liuyun withdrew his hand abruptly and looked at him with wide eyes.
