EBE Chapter 201 Who are you?
Chapter 201 Who are you?
Lu Yuguan broke out in a cold sweat.
The companions around him were all controlled by the strange resentful mirage demon body. On the verge of life and death, he became the only one who retained the ability to move in the desperate situation.
"Stop struggling. It's only a matter of time before you fall into the illusion created by the Mirage Demon Body." said the Phantom Star Demon.
Lu Yuguan looked up and saw the Tearful Girl still wailing on the stone pillar. The space around her began to turn pitch black and spread towards him.
[Host, this seems to be the same skill type as Chi Liuli's Blood Prison River!]
"I see," Lu Yuguan said cautiously, "Since it's a mind control skill, I'll try my original method again!"
He practiced the Six Recitations Divine Art in his mind and chanted the Qingming Mantra continuously.
But no matter how hard he tried, his companions around him remained motionless.
"does not work?"
Lu Yuguan was extremely anxious and sweat rolled down his face more and more rapidly.
The Qingming Mantra that once worked on Zhao Zimo is now like an ant trying to shake a tree, completely useless in the face of the strange power of the resentful mirage demon body.
"Why is this happening?" Lu Yuguan muttered to himself.
"The Mirage Demon Body is among the top 100 of all demonic bodies," the Phantom Star Demon sneered, his tone filled with mockery. "With your meager tricks, you dare to think of breaking it?"
Lu Yuguan gritted his teeth, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "I don't believe it, there must be another way."
At this moment, the inky black space spread at an increasingly faster speed, like a giant beast choosing its prey. Wherever it passed, even the air became sticky and oppressive.
Lu Yuguan kept retreating until he leaned against a rock wall, only then did he realize that there was no way to retreat.
It’s over.
"Tong-chan, is there any other solution?" Lu Yuguan said gritting his teeth.
If we can’t break this force from the outside, we can only attack from the inside.
The system said quickly.
"You mean, after being controlled by the Tear Girl, you should look for a way to break the control?" Lu Yuguan asked.
[That's right, according to the Phantom Star Demon, since it's a mental skill, it must have a way to break through the illusion!]
The system explained.
Lu Yuguan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's try it. What kind of grudge can trap me?!"
After saying this, Lu Yuguan was no longer timid. Instead of running away, he reached out and touched the darkness.
"Interesting. Realizing that you are powerless to turn the situation around, you simply give up resistance?" The Phantom Star Demon laughed.
However, before he could finish his words, the ground beneath his feet began to turn dark and spread rapidly, swallowing up most of his body in the blink of an eye.
The Phantom Star Demon struggled in horror, but found that this force was far stronger than he had imagined and he could not break free at all.
"Damn you, tear girl, quickly put away your ability—"
Before he could finish his words, the Phantom Star Demon was also brought into this terrifying dark space.
……
[Ding! An emergency has been detected——]

……
Lu Yuguan felt dizzy.
He felt like he had had a very long dream, perhaps as long as half a century.
"The patient is awake!"
With this cry of surprise, the ward suddenly became busy.
The nurse came hurriedly, her eyes fixed on the data jumping on the instrument, and her hands skillfully adjusted the flow rate of the drip.
The doctor quickly stepped over to the bedside, picked up the stethoscope, leaned over and listened to his heartbeat. As he listened, he whispered, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling any discomfort?"
Lu Yuguan opened his mouth, his throat so dry that it seemed to be smoking, and the sound he made was weak and hoarse: "Water..."
The nurse immediately dipped a cotton swab in water, gently moistened his lips, and then fed him a few sips at a time.
The warm water went down his throat, slightly relieving his discomfort. Lu Yuguan then slowly opened his eyes. The glaring light made him squint subconsciously.
His eyes wandered around the ward.
The white walls and unfamiliar medical equipment all seemed unreal.
Am I back?
Lu Yuguan thought to himself, but quickly refuted himself, saying that this was an illusion created by the Tear Girl.
Seeing his confused look, the doctor explained softly, "You've been in a coma for five years. Fortunately, the latest surgery was successful, otherwise you would never wake up in your life."
Lu Yuguan nodded slightly in response, but his mind was still churning with the battle with the demon cultivator.
"Where are the family members? Have they been notified?" the doctor turned to ask the nurse beside him.
The nurse responded and was about to speak, but Lu Yuguan raised his hand to stop her and said in a hoarse voice: "No need, I can handle it myself."
The routine of this illusion is still unclear at the moment, so it is best not to contact other people for the time being.
The doctor frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Lu Yuguan's determined expression, he finally swallowed his words and just reminded him, "You still need to take good care of your body. Although the operation was successful and you passed the critical period, you can't be careless in the subsequent recovery. Don't put too much strain on your heart."
After the doctor and nurse left, the ward became quiet again.
Lu Yuguan tried to circulate the spiritual power in his body, but found that his meridians were disordered and his spiritual power was like a pool of stagnant water, stagnant and difficult to move.
"Is it possible that I can't even mobilize spiritual energy in this illusion?"
He gritted his teeth, ignored his physical weakness, forced himself to sit up, and tried to clear his meridians.
After a while, Lu Yuguan finally spread out his hands and fell back on the bed helplessly.
"Tong-chan, Tong-chan, can you hear me?"
Lu Yuguan tried to call the system, but there was no response from the system. Apart from the prompt tone when he fell into darkness, there was no other sound.
Could it be that just like in the void outside the domain, the system automatically muted the microphone?
Lu Yuguan didn't think about it anymore. He propped himself up and prepared to get out of bed, but he heard a knock on the door.
squeak-
The door was opened, and a tall man appeared.
"Li Chonglin?"
"No, Zhao Zimo?"
"It's not..."
Lu Yuguan looked at the man in front of him who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and frantically searched his mind for matching memories, but he couldn't find the right one.
The man had a gentle smile on his face, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands. He slowly walked to the bedside and said softly, "You're finally awake. I was so worried."
Lu Yuguan looked at him warily without saying anything.
The man chuckled, as if he had anticipated Lu Yuguan's situation. "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
"Uncle, who are you?" Lu Yuguan asked.
The man was visibly stunned. He rubbed his brow and said, "The doctor said that you'd have temporary amnesia when you first woke up. No wonder you couldn't recognize me."
Lu Yuguan shrank back and said with an unhappy look on his face: "I don't care who you are, please go out first, I want to rest."
"Are you sure you don't remember?" the man said with a wry smile, "You can't even recognize my face?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know you."
