CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 360: BREAKING THE ILLUSION

Yu Wenxuan and Yu Sheng’s feeling was not wrong.

These three are not the real ones.

Gu Pingsheng and "Feng Xiuxue" are people from ten years ago, and "Bai Yanliang" is actually Ren Wudao in disguise.

Actually, letting Yu Sheng step forward to do that risky thing was also a helpless move for Ren Wudao, but he wasn’t particularly worried about Yu Sheng.

Yu Wenxuan, Gu Pingsheng, and Feng Xiuxue have already been cursed and must not be seen by the fierce ghost again.

And he himself is a fake. Although Gu Pingsheng’s key is strong enough to directly transform into Bai Yanliang’s current state, it was still seen through by Feng Xiuxue and Yu Wenxuan.

This made Gu Pingsheng and Ren Wudao much more cautious. Originally, he could choose to go and "grab" the ghost himself, but now both of them have more concerns.

Feng Xiuxue and Yu Wenxuan saw through the flaws one after the other, and they did so from different angles, reminding them both.

The ghost not discovering before doesn’t mean it won’t discover later.

Therefore, Ren Wudao cannot be the one who gets close to the ghost.

Likewise... even if he is the one to attract the ghost, Ren Wudao must control the distance and not let the ghost get too close, thus discovering the flaw.

This is a plan to deceive everyone under the sun; if Bai Yanliang is discovered by the rules to not be part of this mission, he can almost be declared as already dead.

So far, no one has escaped the chase after violating the rules.

Bai Yanliang would be no exception.

The best way is to let Ren Wudao play this act to the end, play it until... no existence realizes that Bai Yanliang is actually not on Qingyi Street.

However, these are things Ren Wudao needs to consider.

What Yu Sheng needs to consider is how to touch the terrifying presence in front of her.

So close...

She could completely feel it.

Now there is only one thing to do—reach out and touch it.

If successful, the mission is over.

Calm... calm...

Yu Sheng cheered herself up, tentatively... reached out her hand.

However, just at this moment...

Open your eyes!

A terrifying will descended from the sky, completely affecting Yu Sheng’s mind!

She instinctively wanted to listen to that voice and open her eyes...

No way!

Yu Sheng bit the tip of her tongue hard, the intense pain brought back a bit of clarity.

Under no circumstances should I open my eyes.

Everyone’s life is in my hands. If I fail...

I can’t...

I absolutely cannot!

A person’s will is often more fragile than one imagines, and also stronger than one imagines.

Everything depends on the sense of belief at that moment.

Yu Sheng resisted the voice in her mind by all means, refusing to open her eyes.

At the same time, her hand continued to move slowly closer.

The abnormal event occurred again.

A cold hand touched her face. At the moment it touched Yu Sheng’s skin, her breathing halted.

It’s touching me...

"Thump thump... thump thump... thump thump..."

Her heart was pounding violently from fear, the intense discomfort made Yu Sheng’s entire body stiffen, and the hand that had nearly reached her back paused mid-air.

Her senses were magnified several times, and she clearly felt how terrifying and horrifying that hand on her face was...

Cold, a bit slimy, with a sticky and fishy stench, creeping up her cheek like a snake.

What’s it trying to do...

I haven’t opened my eyes, haven’t seen it, it shouldn’t be able to harm me...

Why... is it touching me?

Will it kill me?

Its hand feels so disgusting...

...

All kinds of thoughts came rushing in, making Yu Sheng’s mind more chaotic than ever.

Her magnified senses also magnified her emotions.

Yu Sheng was already so stiff she couldn’t make a single move, standing there like a statue, waiting for that ghost hand to move away...

However, to her despair.

That ghost hand not only didn’t leave, but it climbed to her eyes!

Open them...

Open...

Yu Sheng could feel its power, though not large, it was bizarre beyond description.

It’s over...

Yu Sheng, in despair, had her eyelids forced open by the ghost hand.

Why did it turn out like this...

Yu Sheng wished she were blind at that moment.

However, everything in front of her unreasonably poured into her sight.

But... nothing!

In front of her, there was absolutely no one!

Except for a cold and desolate street, Yu Sheng saw nothing.

What is this... what’s going on?

Yu Sheng was looking at everything in front after all, suddenly her heart trembled. This... Is this not the scene behind me?

Could it be... I am seeing behind?

When did I turn around, could it be... all of this just now was an illusion?

With this thought, another peculiar idea crept up.

Should I... turn my head again to see...

Now that my eyes are open, why not...

This thought lingered like a curse in Yu Sheng’s mind.

Her head slowly began to move.

However, in the eyes of Gu Pingsheng and the other two, this scene was entirely different.

"She has stopped moving," Feng Yiru whispered.

"She must have sensed something. That ghost can’t be easily contacted. It must have other defenses. Right now, Yu Sheng’s situation is very dangerous," Gu Pingsheng said.

"Yu Sheng hasn’t seen it, its bizarre power won’t work. Even if it has other methods, it’s nothing more than deception, bewitchment, hallucination, auditory or visual inducement powers, which won’t cause substantial harm to Yu Sheng. However... if it’s indeed an illusion, she’ll have to come to her own realization; we can’t help her."

Feng Yiru’s voice was very calm, and what she said was indeed true.

What Yu Sheng is facing at this moment is exactly as she said.

Now... what should I do?

Clearly, I was walking forward, why is it that after being forcibly "opened eyes," all I see is the street behind?

And now...

Should I continue forward or turn around "backwards," continuing in the original forward direction...

Could it be, this is an illusion?

Yu Sheng bit her tongue again.

A spurt of pain told her this didn’t seem to be an illusion.

But... is it really not an illusion?

If so, then I should turn around and keep walking towards the ghost’s direction...

Yu Sheng calmed her mood and continued the motion of turning around.

Being so tense, she actually forgot... she currently had her eyes wide open.

If she just turned like this, she would definitely see the presence of the ghost...

Luckily, just as she was about to complete the motion of turning, Yu Sheng suddenly froze.

It wasn’t her body that froze, but her eyelids!

She actually couldn’t help wanting to close her eyes!

But then, her body continued to turn backward.

However, this bizarre change had already alerted Yu Sheng.

She panted heavily, forcibly halting the action of turning.

Why...

Did I really open my eyes?

If the ghost can forcibly pry open my eyes, why not make me see it directly and instead see the street behind?

It wants me to make the turning motion...

If this is an illusion... then the motion of turning means the reality of... opening eyes!

Yu Sheng’s mind cleared, and suddenly she saw the light!

She finally broke through the shackles of illusion and firmly reached out her hand.

In the next moment, an extremely strange sensation reached her palm!

Got it!
