Evil Strategies
chapter 17
However, this was the illusion of a Demon Lord. It was the best in using feelings in the depths of people's hearts. Bringing their most ancient terror, anger, or bitterness, can then destroy their psychological defenses. Therefore, during these countless hundreds of years, there was no one (known to) to break free.
Shen Qingqiu had always wanted tsukkomi [1] this point in her original work. It was said with great clarity, yet for Luo Binghe and Ning Yingying these two medium-sized children to bitterly pull over for a while and break through; the Great God Plane Towards the Sky, the, please give the face of the Demon Elder more!
Luo Binghe suddenly charged forward, seemingly wanting to defeat the people who had struck her in her younger days, but her fists pierced through their bodies. There is no way to get rid of the illusion. Fists and legs continued to rain down on the small body.
Shen Qingqiu quickly caught Luo Binghe's fist and stabilized her body. Calmly, he said: "See? You can't touch them. It's just a Devil's Dream trap. ”
If it was Luo Binghe after activating her cheat, ten thousand Dream Demons would absolutely be nothing more than a small trick in her eyes. But Luo Binghe was now: the demon blood within her body had yet to awaken and fall asleep in the dark depths of her memories and dreams. All he could see was his helplessness.
Suddenly, the small illusion of the two people twirled and became another sight.
It was not good for Shen Qingqiu's heart, she was unconscious and slaughtered!
This is a dilapidated cottage. Inside the hut, there was only one bed and one small bent table. On the table was a dim oil lamp and there was a small stool beside it.
On the bed lay a frail old woman trying to prop herself up and sit down, not far from death. From outside the door, a small figure rushed in who was only ten years old with a gentle and childish face. Luo Binghe supported the old woman as she sat down. On his neck he was still wearing that jade pendant. She hurriedly said, “Mother, how can you want to wake up again? Didn't you say you'd be better off if you rested? "
The woman coughed and said, “Laying doesn't solve anything. It would be better to get out of bed and wash your clothes. ”
Little Luo Binghe said, “I've finished Mom's work. Mother, lie down and wait for me to boil your medicine. Eat medicine, your body gets better, then do the work. ”
Shen Qingqiu already knew there was this scene, but when it played before her eyes in reality, there was no way to not be moved.
The woman's face was grayish-white, her illness incurable; she was at the door of death. He smiled and touched the top of Luo Binghe's head: “Binghe, you are completely obedient. ”
Little Luo Binghe raised her face, her entire face smiling: "Mother, what do you want to eat?"
The woman said, “Currently, my eating is getting less and less. Last time our young master of the estate poured out that white porridge. I tend to try, but I don't know if the kitchen is still there. ”
Little Luo Binghe excitedly lowered her head and said, "I'm going to go look for Mother!"
“That alone will be fine. If there is nothing left, just another regular light and juicy meal to fill the stomach will do. ”
Little Luo Binghe ran da da da outside like a gust of wind. The woman lay down for a moment, then pulled out the needle and thread from under her pillow again and began her female work.
The light inside the hut was getting dimmer and fainter. Luo Binghe's figure was unclear. He reached out to grab something. Shen Qingqiu grabbed his hand and forcefully said: "Luo Binghe! Clearly, this is not your mother, you are not a weak child who can't fight anymore! ”
The power of killing a dream is based on a person's emotional disability. The more they felt, the greater the damage they received. Like Luo Binghe now, her instability was a great threat to her life.
Second, be careful. 'The 'People' in the dream definitely cannot be attacked.
All 'people' in this dream come from the dreamer's own consciousness and heart. Attacking them actually means attacking your own brain. There are many people who do not understand this, or cannot control their own emotions, and in the dream it attacks and sadly injures their own people. 'From that moment on, they entered eternal sleep.
According to the current situation, if Luo Binghe were to enter into an eternal slumber, Shen Qingqiu would also accompany her and be trapped in a dream.
The surrounding scenery changed unexpectedly. The scenery turned into little Luo Binghe who begged a rich young master to give her mother a bowl of porridge to eat; another change of scenery shifted to the time when she had just entered Qing Jing Peak, which she had just entered, all of his apprentices were excluded and made things difficult for him; a small figure struggled to use a rusty axe; watching a figure carrying a bucket of water up the stairs more and more slowly; the only precious jade pendant of hers was stolen, it could not be found anymore ……
The chaos of the scene continued to pile up endlessly. At this moment, these scattered photos and memories made Luo Binghe unable to see anything or hear anything. There was only hatred, despair, pain, helplessness, anger, and other emotions tangled up in the chaos that was stirring his chest and mind.
This dream is a collection of the ups and downs of the life of this short ten-year-old young man. Luo Binghe had already fully entered it! His breathing was wavering and his two eyes were unnaturally red.
Shen Qingqiu felt that standing by his side was extremely dangerous!
The only way to destroy the dream is to finish the tangle in your own heart, then the dream will defeat itself. Luo Binghe's fist clenched tightly, her bones echoing ka ka, spiritual power circulating throughout her body.
Shen Qingqiu saw her desire to attack rise up and resolutely said, "Calm your heart! Do not attack the illusion! Hitting them will only hurt yourself! ”
But Luo Binghe was already unable to hear his words. His right hand was raised, spiritual power surged in his palm and flew out, cutting straight towards the people who were laughing gleefully in the illusion!
In his heart, Shen Qingqiu let out a cry of sorrow for herself. No matter how painful, his body still cleverly rose and took the initiative to move forward in front of the illusion, using his body to block this ferocious attack.
At this moment, Luo Binghe was shorter than him by just a little and coincidentally struck him in the lower abdomen.
Suddenly, Shen Qingqiu felt as if she had been kicked by an elephant's leg, her eyes darkened. If this was not a dream, he was afraid that he would spurt blood….
He is the protagonist!
With Luo Binghe's attack, the illusions in the surroundings were broken. The figures of people and things were smashed into pieces like broken glass. The place they came out was a piece of remote wild forest. Cold and ancient moons hung above their heads, the deep blue sky.
As soon as the illusion spread, Luo Binghe suddenly came to a realization. First, he looked at the person who was unable to stand up, kneeling on the ground and Shen Qingqiu without a word. Then he looked at his own fists, traces of spiritual power were still left and vaguely recalled what he had done before. His face immediately paled.
Luo Binghe flew to Shen Qingqiu's side and supported her, anxious and sorry: “Shizun! You, why don't you hit back! ”
With Shen Qingqiu's spiritual strength, it was entirely within her ability to harm him. With both of their spiritual powers attacking each other, not only could he disperse Luo Binghe's attack, he could also return the attack to her.
Shen Qingqiu said a few words from the heart: "Silly boy. "He smiled weakly. If I hit you back and hurt you, would it mean anything? "
Luo Binghe listened to Shifu's weak voice and even thought of taking a palm to his own chest and committing suicide, "But the one who was injured now is Shizun …… this disciple must die ten thousand times over!"
The matter of the three ordeals of the Demon Realm had not ended yet and he had already let Shizun get injured because of himself, this time even being hit directly by him!
Shen Qingqiu looked at the child's face filled with self-blame agony and softened for a rare moment, comforting: "This master's cultivation is strong, being hit multiple times is not a problem. ”
Luo Binghe preferred Shen Qingqiu to ruthlessly beat and scold him by biting into sarcasm like she did in the past. His heart will feel a little more comfortable. But Shen Qingqiu was so warm and her words were so gentle that she became mute and unable to speak, her heart somehow felt even more helpless.
After some time, Luo Binghe said in a low voice, “This is all my fault. ”
No, no, no, no, it's not your fault. Really at this early stage you are walking the route of the pure white flowers left behind. How can you be blamed?
Shen Qingqiu thought Luo Binghe had fallen into a tangle of self-reflection and brought this matter to heart. Patiently, he said, “That's none of your business. Demon Realm people had an unavoidable despicable method. However, if you do not want similar things to happen in the future, you can only become strong. ”
This is the world 'the weak are the prey of the strong' world'. Being strong was the only guarantee and method to not go with the flow and become cannon fodder!
Luo Binghe's heart was moved and she did not speak. He suddenly raised his head and both of his eyes stared intently at Shen Qingqiu.
Shen Qingqiu's heart was pounding.
Luo Binghe's obsidian black eyes had a radiance that was more brilliant than the moon and stars.
This ..... stares like this!
It is filled with 'steady conviction' and a searing spirit that emerges from the protagonist's gaze!
Could it be ...... I've become the protagonist's motivational star ?!
Luo Binghe knelt beside Shen Qingqiu's body and in a stern voice said: "I understand. ”
Shen Qingqiu: Wait a minute, what do you understand at the moment? Can't you leave things half-and-half at all times? Saying rest!
He did not realize that when these words came out of Luo Binghe's mouth, he did not call himself this “disciple. "[2] Luo Binghe firmly clenched her fists and opened her mouth again, uttering every word:" From now on, these things. ”
Letting Shizun protect her weak self, letting Shizun suffer injuries for her .... These things, really will never happen again!
Shen Qingqiu responded with an unconditional cry of approval, "Mm. ”
……What's going on . Suddenly there was a feeling of 'being overwhelmed by the guarantee of the protagonist,' What's with this ?!
Convincing my ass, this person in the future will slice you into a human cane; wake up and be a little aware, Shen Qingqiu!
Being the protagonist's life teacher [3] was Max's arrogance that was very satisfied with Shen Qingqiu, even though it felt imprecise.
Originally, the belief to 'be strong to protect important people' was supposed to happen when the protagonist was faced with a pitiful and charming female leader who helped him and was hurt for his sake. After that there was a scene of a panting tender model opened. According to this meaning; system, didn't you stack all the scenes of the female protagonist onto me?

[1] Tsukkomi: Using this Japanese term as it may be more familiar to you and the Chinese term used is transliteration from it. Meaning is “questing or creatively commenting on something ironic /cute” and often simplified to mean “ Complaining, grumbling. ”
[2] “Murid ini”: In Chinese, the most formal way of speaking makes you refer to yourself as 'this student' or 'this teacher' and others. according to your station and who you are talking to. Luo Binghe did not refer to herself as 'this disciple' with Shen Qingqiu removing that social barrier. XD
[3] Life teacher ( ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ): Literally 'life path teacher' or 'lifetime teacher' but I use this form to distinguish it from ordinary teachers. It specifically refers to someone who teaches you how to live – like a parent, grandparent, etc.
