Ten minutes before going to sleep,
Yi Chen, lying on the stone slab bed, switched his outfit to sleeping bag mode, wrapping his entire body without leaving a gap.
Should any threat approach, the gentleman’s clothes would provide physical stimulation.
Only soone with a Skin Content of 20% like Yi Chen, could achieve such a sleeping bag form.
According to Professor Qian Bosen, during his leisure lectures, as the Skin Content increases, the outfit could even switch to a combat mode, shooting out bandages or thin threads to trap opponents, or pierce through them with hardened sharp gentleman’s skin.
When the Skin Content exceeds 50%,
...
if the Synchronization Rate with the outfit is high enough, it could even induce a deeper skin combination, evoking the Old World posture to match the individual.
Naturally, as the Skin Content increases, various problems would also erge—the problem of a double-edged sword must be considered.
…
Wrapped in the sleeping bag, Yi Chen felt as if he had returned to his infancy, enjoying the comfort of being swaddled, and his highly tense spirit also relaxed quickly.
He even felt like the umbilical cord inside him wanted to crawl out of his navel, imitating the condition of fetal nourishnt.
This comfort allowed Yi Chen to calm down and organize his thoughts. Although the Monastery appeared normal on the surface, down to the minutely detailed corners, there were still aspects that felt off.
This place seed to have been inhabited before, but in reality, many areas bore no traces of life,
rather, it looked like a hastily built ancient Monastery using aged retrofits to create an old-world disguise… That said, one couldn’t rule out the possibility that the Grey Zone had completely erased the traces of life here.
Inside the sleeping bag, Yi Chen posed a key question to Little Grape.
“If the Monastery we’re currently in is still made up of illusions, and even our combined deep vision can’t detect any clues, Little Grape, do you have a way to break the illusion?”
“I do… but I can only break a little bit, and it needs an opportunity.”
“How can it be done?”
“Destroy important diums of the illusion, or use thods like Jin’s large-scale explosions to forcefully shake the foundations of the illusion, through such thods weaken the illusion, or even create clear weak areas.
At that ti, I just need to output Spiritual Shock at maximum power to temporarily disrupt the illusion.
As the opponent is completely superior to us on the ntal level, if we can’t kill the opponent within a given ti, we would still be trapped in the illusion again.” ??????о??????
“Temporary disruption is also a disruption… let’s see what happens tonight. You sleep the first half of the night, and I’ll take the second half.”
“Okay.”
…
During the first half of the night when Yi Chen was sleeping, despite the door being sealed by plants, a yellow cloth strip sohow infiltrated.
However,
this cloth strip did not seem to have intentions of invading or approaching. It seed to just be confirming that Yi Chen was still in the room, without any strange actions or attempts to escape.
Perhaps it sensed the dense old aura emitted by the ‘sleeping bag’ enveloping his body.
In the end,
the yellow cloth strip lingered at the door gap for a while then withdrew.
Shortly after the cloth withdrew, the armpit of the sleeping bag outfit slowly opened its mouth and the eyes in the gaps gazed at the door gap.
…
[The next day]
The sleeping bag switched back to clothes, and Yi Chen, reinvigorated, rose from the stone bed.
Ding ding ding~ His fingers tapped his skull, waking Little Grape, who had been sleeping inside the skull,
Little Grape, not daring to delay, imdiately took an icy bath with Cold Lake saliva to clear the sleepiness and reinvigorate himself.
Perhaps sensing the chill between the cranial cavities, Yi Chen also made a request: “Little Grape, help
give my brain a wash.”
“Are you sure? It’s really cold~ But your brain is also much warr than most people’s, a little washing could indeed be beneficial for the upcoming tasks, I’ll help you wash it slowly,”
Little Grape did not rashly pour the icy saliva onto Yi Chen’s brain,
but extended his slightly hairy tongue, licking the brain’s surface inch by inch, only slowly releasing the saliva through the tip of the tongue,
as the licking proceeded, Yi Chen’s entire cranial cavity gradually filled with chill.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Yi Chen was neither uncomfortable nor painful and showed no nervous reactions but rather enjoyed the process… His brain clearly felt more lucid, with so previously blocked ntal pathways progressively clearing up.
As the Cold Lake could wash off the stains on Little Grape,
this licking also incidentally cleared all the ‘dirty stuff’ accumulated between the brain folds,
Unknowingly, Yi Chen sat cross-legged and entered into ditation.
The book Emblem at the back of his head also emitted a faint luminescence, turning pages as his brain moved.
Little Grape took note of this and did not dare to slacken, carefully licking the brain inside and out.
Unfortunately, in the end, no [Quality] change occurred, and the book-reading Emblem reverted to its original state.
Alas~ Just as Little Grape sighed,
Yi Chen, who woke up from ditation, was beaming with excitent,
“Little Grape! I can feel my [Intelligence] is about to reach the true limit… Just need a little more real combat application of brain power to touch on the Limit Barrier.
Your saliva is really useful!”
Little Grape changed from a sighing expression to hands on hips, “It’s all because I carefully covered you with layers of lake water, plus the massage from my tongue that improved the penetration efficiency; otherwise, we wouldn’t have got these results.
If you want to thank , hurry up and get
so delicious grapes.”
After a brief exchange,
feeling a refreshing clarity in his brain, Yi Chen picked up his briefcase and headed to the main hall.
Before the statue covered with yellow cloth, the Watcher seed to have been waiting for a long ti.
“It’s a pity your teammates still haven’t found this place, they might be fighting the Patients, or trapped within the Pupil Skill environnt, unable to extricate themselves.
You now need to make a choice,
whether to leave here and search for their tracks,
or to cross the passage alone and seek the Relic in the Old World.
I remind you that once you choose to leave, you are essentially giving up the chance to go to the Old World. After you find your teammates, you can directly descend the mountain.”
Yi Chen’s response was very firm, “Everyone has put so much effort into this relic event… I believe they will eventually co here, and I’ve decided to wait for them on the other side of the Old World.”
“A very wise decision~ Then, please step onto the statue so that your body and the head of the statue are on the sa horizontal plane.
Once I uncover the cloth, your body will slowly be absorbed into the passage.
Stay relaxed throughout the process, don’t feel any rejection or tension!”
“Okay.”
Yi Chen didn’t climb onto the statue,
but shot out roots from his right hand connecting to the do of the main hall and slowly hoisted his body up, slightly above the head of the statue… The Watcher didn’t say much about this discrepancy.
“I hope you find what you are looking for on the other end.”
After these words,
the Watcher lifted the cloth, revealing the disgusting fleshy passage on the statue’s face once again, with surges of suction force emanating from it.
Yi Chen also closed his eyes, allowing his body to move closer in response to this suction force.
Just as he was about to make contact with the face of the statue…
His left hand instantly retrieved a shortened shotgun from his waist, already loaded.
Bang!
The maximum power buckshot spread out, instantly blowing the yellow-clothed gentleman into flesh bits.
Subsequently,
Yi Chen straightened his right arm, spreading his fingers,
taking advantage of the Moon Seal in the palm that erged from Lorrian’s right half trait… Buzz! The axe in the briefcase sensed it and flew over on its own.
Clap!
As he grasped the axe handle, the axe had already switched to full moon state.
As the shotgun shattered the ‘Watcher,’ the axe followed, cleaving through the air.
Like a moon waterfall, it split the statue down the middle.
It also produced a large number of Moonlight Rats gnawing at the stone skin surface of the statue, underneath which were eyeballs writhing, which burst one after another under the gnawing of the Moonlight Rats.
Continuous screams echoed within the Monastery,
Now was his chance!
“Little Grape!”
Yi Chen yelled loudly.
A black flesh ball was already standing on his head, hands on hips, exposing its eyes to the fullest!
“Spiritual Shock”
The ability from the Lake Bottom Giant Eye struck directly at the do… Buzz!
Like ripples spreading at the center of the do, the false Monastery began to crumble from the top, with layers of stone falling off, exposing the horrifying True Face.
“Are all the Pilgrims’ eyes focused here… No wonder such a realistic scene could be created!”
It was not a Monastery at all, but an “Enclosed Eye Chamber” ford by countless eyeballs.
The eyeballs were spaced no more than a centiter apart, bonded together with blood and flesh, completely enclosed.
Because Yi Chen had destroyed the important ceremonial statue and shattered the Illusion Realm’s surface, the surfaces of these eyeballs were bursting with blood vessels and glaring with rage.
Through such intense, all-encompassing gaze,
they penetrated Yi Chen’s gentleman’s clothes, piercing through his physique, trying to discern his biological Weaknesses and body structure clearly, even affecting his brain directly.
However, just as they were attempting to see deeper,
Buzz…
The vision of this group of eyeballs suddenly shifted,
even though they were probing the internal structure of Yi Chen, they abruptly switched to viewing an unknown hospital room.
The cluster of eyeballs focused only at the hospital doorway, unable to spread inward or invade this special space, watching a silver-haired young man sitting on the hospital bed with his back to them, also unable to be seen through.
As these eyeballs attempted to further scrutinize this mysterious young man,
he suddenly turned his head, his New Moon pupils glaring at the doorway:
“Seen enough? Scram!”
