Tearing the space, he took Su Yu away from the center of the sword energy. As soon as he stood firm, Northfield quickly retracted his hand and took a big step back.
Su Yu looked at him in confusion. Under his gaze, Northfield lowered his head slightly, as if he had done something wrong. He whispered, "I'm very sorry, the situation was urgent, please forgive me for being rude just now." There was a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
Hearing this, Su Yu was slightly stunned.
Su Yu always felt that Northfield was very strange. The strangeness was not only in Northfield's behavior, but also in Northfield's whole person. He was not as threatening to him as the system said, but was ten points friendly.
This friendliness was not simple. Su Yu felt that it contained some other emotions. Su Yu could not tell before, until now, he felt... Was Northfield too cautious with him? The moment the thought came up, Su Yu denied it himself, saying it was impossible and there was no reason. However, after careful analysis, he did not think that he had made a mistake.
Now was not the time to think about something. Su Yu said, "You don't need to apologize. It's me who should thank you." The sword energy just now was not within his defense range. Although he was not the target of the attack, he would still be hurt if the distance was too close.
This reply swept away Northfield's uneasiness, a light appeared in his eyes.
It was indeed very strange. Just like now, Su Yu looked away and looked around. The city that was destroyed by the sword energy just now has now been restored. Everything is the same as before, without any change. Obviously, Mu Zhen's behavior of breaking the illusion failed.
"Shall we go back?" Su Yu asked.
Northfield nodded, opened a space crack, the two passed through and came to the place just now.
"What's going on ne? The abnormality inside is so obvious, shouldn't it be the core of the illusion ma? Why is it useless to attack here ne?" Mu Zhen was still in shock.
Lance had already sorted himself out, standing aside with a false smile on his face, until the space crack opened and he saw Su Yu walking out of it, the smile on his face became somewhat real. He walked forward, just as he was about to ask a few questions, a small white figure suddenly rushed out.
"Are you okay?" Cai Yan looked Su Yu up and down, although there was an invisible subconscious that told him that Su Yu was fine, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he was worried. After confirming that Su Yu was really not injured, Cai Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered another thing, and suddenly exploded, staring at Northfield: "Was it you just now? Using mental power to bounce me away."
Oh? A question? Yes, but so what?
Northfield smiled lightly, without any abnormality in his expression: "Young Patriarch thinks too much."
Cai Yan didn't see any friendliness in the smile, but saw provocation in it. He could be completely sure that the mental force that bounced him away just now was definitely done by Northfield! His head was burning with anger, but considering the strength of both sides, he had to be patient.
When Cai Yan suppressed his anger, the whole bird fell into a strange calm. His sudden rebound reminded him of a pleasant thing, he flew to Su Yu's shoulder and landed. The bird's head accidentally rubbed Su Yu's earlobe. As expected, this behavior received two cold stares.
After flapping his wings, the little white bird opened his mouth and chirped twice. The sound was crisp and pleasant, it was gentle and moving. Su Yu looked at him sideways, and suddenly, the two eyes looking at Cai Yan became colder.
[What...what happened? Why do I feel that the at-atmosphere is a little bit wrong ne?]
[Be bold, don't question, use an affirmative tone, the atmosphere is wrong!]
[I declare that the young patriarch won this round! And it was a big win!]
[The filter is broken. I really didn't expect that the young patriarch would be such a scheming bird.]
Su Yu felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, but he didn't know where it came from. At this moment, Mu Zhen in the distance finally came out of self-doubt. He shook his head and saw Su Yu and others standing beside him. He walked over and said, "The illusion is still not broken. It seems that we can only continue to explore the mystery."
Northfield and Lance retracted their gazes and turned to look at Mu Zhen. The coldness in them had not completely receded. Mu Zhen paused. What...what happened?
In the end, it was Su Yu who broke the strange atmosphere.
"Keep looking for clues ba."
The frozen atmosphere softened with a sentence. Su Yu cast his eyes around and continued to search. The illusion had been reset. It was still the same as before, shabby and simple, covered with dust. He searched the inside and outside of the house. Not to mention the figure of a person, even some unpleasant little insects did not appear. It can be confirmed again that the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion could not be here.
There were no useful clues in the place, so they did not plan to stay any longer. Su Yu and his companions turned to the place where the youngest lady of the Qin Mansion lived. It was completely different from the place where the eldest lady lived. The young lady's residence was a normal residence, there were also clusters of flowers in the courtyard, but it was obvious that someone often took care of it and trimmed it, so it looked very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Because the young lady was preparing for her wedding, many people were crowded in the young lady's room.
Su Yu and his companions avoided the maids and entered the house. They roughly scanned the furnishings in the house, then looked at the owner of the house. The scene in front of them made them stunned for a moment.
The house, both inside and outside, was very normal, but the owner of the house was not normal.
The beautiful girl with delicate features was wearing a gorgeous and complicated wedding dress at this moment, sitting in front of the dressing mirror, crying silently. Her eyes were wide open, full of deadness and silence, without any light. She had already given up struggling, and was wrapped in despair.
Mu Zhen thought about it and said in a strange tone: "Well, is it... a ghost marriage?"
Don't blame Mu Zhen for making such a guess, Su Yu's thoughts at the moment are similar to his.
In stark contrast to the red color in the room, the girl's wedding dress is actually black and white, which looks ten points weird. If you look closer, you will find that the girl's sitting posture is also very abnormal, slightly twisted, like a puppet, stiff and unnatural.
After observing the girl in a circle, Mu Zhen said again: "It may also be a sacrifice? Tsk, anyway, it's all evil and crooked. No wonder that Master Qin is not worried about the reason I made up. It turns out that he is doing something."
Lance asked: "Will the illusion be broken if people is saved?"
"Don't know, anyway, let's try it first, at worst the illusion will be reset again." Mu Zhen's tone was full of eagerness, and he said: "This is my first time to rob a marriage ne."
Just when Mu Zhen was about to do it, Su Yu stopped him.
"Wait, don't rush." Su Yu said, "Let's ask this lady if she knows first, then we can make a judgment."
Mu Zhen paused, thinking that it made sense, so he retracted his hand and withdrew his own spiritual power, allowing his figure to appear in the room. A living person appeared out of thin air, but the girl in front of the dressing mirror did not react at all. Mu Zhen thought she did not notice him, so he walked over, stretched out his hand, and waved in front of the girl, but the other party still did not react.
"Yi?" Mu Zhen felt strange, after a few seconds of thinking, he whispered an apology, then put his hand on the girl's shoulder, used his spiritual power, and checked the girl. This behavior made him have an unexpected discovery. The girl in front of him was not a false fantasy created by the illusion, but a real soul.
Mu Zhen told Su Yu about his discovery. Su Yu also withdrew his spiritual power and stepped forward. Having experienced a illusion before, he felt familiar with the current situation and asked, "Is someone controlling her?"
"It's possible." Mu Zhen was awakened and used his spiritual power again to search the girl's soul carefully. After a while, he found that several extremely fine white threads were connected to the girl's limbs and head. Without hesitation, Mu Zhen directly used his spiritual power to break these white threads.
There was a glimmer of light in the girl's hollow eyes. The next moment, she whimpered, until finally, she had already turned into a howling cry. After a long time, she stopped crying, fell to the ground, and said softly in a kneeling posture: "Thank to few Immortals for saving my life."
The sweet voice, still with a little crying tone, made people feel pity, but Mu Zhen's focus was not on the girl at all. He said: "No need to thank you, can you tell us now, what's going on ma?"
The girl didn't feel lost, nodded obediently, and talked about a past event. The event was not complicated, so she finished it quickly. It was roughly about the Qin family master holding a martial arts competition for the eldest lady to recruit a husband. Everything was normal, but after big sister got married, she suddenly went crazy one day and turned into a monster. Not only was she cruel and cold, but she also didn't recognize her relatives and slaughtered the entire Qin Mansion. Finally, she caught her in this strange place and made her repeat the same thing and tortured her constantly.
Turned into a monster? Slaughter the entire Qin Mansion? Su Yu nodded thoughtfully. These two points fit the ending of the illusion that monsters besieged and the city was destroyed as Mu Zhen said. So, the eldest lady who turned into a monster might be the murderer who led all this?
But ma... In this whole paragraph, only these two sentences are worth listening to. The others cannot be said to be all false, but some key points are definitely not said.
[This lady, I have no objection to you making up a story, but can you make it better?]
[It's not making a story ba, it's just that she hides half of what she says. I don't understand this kind of person. Why ne?]
[There is something wrong with this person. Is she pretending to be like this on purpose to let Su Yu and others relax their guard? I understand. This illusion was created by this woman!]
The audience speculated one after another.
On the screen, Su Yu took a few steps forward and walked in front of the girl. He didn't say anything to force her, but just said coldly: "If you don't tell the truth, you will never be able to get out of here."
After he finished speaking, the girl's body trembled obviously. The words were not forced, but for the girl, nothing was more frightening than these words. Thinking back to the repeated reincarnation in the past, the girl began to tremble: "No... No, I'll tell you!"
After the words, the girl was silent for a long time before she spoke: "It's because of my big sister..."
