old dream

Chapter 55 Imaging
Almost at the same time as the whistle sounded, was the sound of gunshots from Giovanni.

Although it is not clear who is in front and who is behind, this shot may be meaningless.Because according to the previous situation, the bullet will be knocked down very close to the wizard.

But Colin has no time to confirm the results of Giovanni's shot, because he is facing a bigger crisis.

As soon as the figure appeared, Colin expected the next moment to come, so he immediately dropped the gun and covered his ears.

Giovanni's amulet has been exhausted, and if he loses his mind again this time, there will be no one to wake him up.

After the screaming ended, I don't know if it was because of preparations in advance, or because of the resistance due to a single attack. This time, Ke Lin was only slightly dizzy for a moment, and the turbulent vision returned to normal.

But this sudden roar, the effect is more than just distracting.

The purpose of "it" using this trick frequently is not to stun the opponent, but to pull the opponent's consciousness into its own frequency limit.

Colin had already taken two attacks abruptly, although this time he didn't lose his mind for a long time.But he noticed that the atmosphere of the surrounding space had quietly changed at some point.

In fact, his consciousness has been pulled into the other party's frequency, so the moment he opened his eyes——

……

"...I saw it." Colin said dully.

"You, know how to reset to zero!" Arecio reminded.

At this time, Colin's spirit had been directly exposed to the devil, but there was still a little room for self-help.

The so-called "zeroing" refers to returning consciousness to the frequency it has been in for a long time through a psychological suggestion that has been cultivated for a long time.

Zero is death and rebirth.If you can return your consciousness to the starting point at any time, you can immediately withdraw from some dangerous frequencies and not be harmed by the spirits in them.

Some people say that compared to those huge miracles, the inconspicuous little act of "zeroing" is the most powerful "ritual" in the world.

Bathing and incense were used to achieve similar effects in the olden days, and are the beginning and end of all unstable rituals, so it is the beginning and end of all mysteries and miracles.

However, Colin was never told to develop the habit of "going to zero".There is no one to guide the way, and it is almost only a little bit of exploration on your own.He knew almost nothing about the vital skills in these witchcraft duels.

Perhaps he has only encountered the devil for the first time until now, and he is already extremely lucky.

……

Colin didn't answer, so Arecio knew the answer and began to think about the possible casualties tonight and how to take advantage of Colin's mistakes now.

In the eyes of the lampkeeper, fangs are nothing but consumables.

If his consciousness is temporarily unable to withdraw from that frequency, it is just right that he can obtain the image of the devil through his eyes.

Rather than putting the remaining two at risk in order to rescue him, actively exploiting the situation and quickly defeating the devil was more likely to keep him alive.

But "imaging" also takes time.Moreover, an ordinary person like Colin who has not been trained may not have the ability to draw the image of the other party.

If so, Colin may only see a hazy shadow, or the wrong image that the devil has misled to him.

Then he'd be like the unlucky guy who slept to death a few weeks ago, even though the devil was killing him with no clue what was going on.Worthless, dying inexplicably.

……

So what exactly did Colin see?
A sane ordinary person will not necessarily fall into madness when he directly witnesses something indescribable.They would even turn a blind eye and continue doing what they were doing.

They have always been dull and lacking keen associations.Consciousness itself also has enough self-healing ability to protect memory loss, or selectively ignore some crazy information that it can't understand.

Moreover, humans can only receive everything from the outside through their own few simple receptors, optical information, odor molecules, air vibration, physical oppression... Beyond these parts, they cannot be directly understood by the brain, but everything about the virtual world is not. Never had to do with this physical information.

Just as three-dimensional creatures cannot imagine four-dimensional space.Humans who have formed cognitive inertia in the material world will never be able to imagine and directly recognize the existence of creatures in the virtual world.

But perhaps this is just a kind of luck, so human beings will never look directly at the madness and terror from the depths of the world.

Until the advent of "imaging" techniques, practitioners began to use similar metaphors to describe the image of the existence of the virtual world with memory materials from the material world.

Since then, humans have possessed an inner eye that has nothing to do with the physical body.Whether this means the ostrich raised its head from the sand and stopped escaping, or opened Pandora's box by accident, is still unknown.

Colin's consciousness was forcibly taken away from the normal frequency by the vibration, and the atmosphere of the starry sky and the double moon seemed to become unreal.

When Colin raised his head, he found that there was an inexplicably seven-point cat-like creature not far away. It stood at the top of the stairwell and overlooked the entire rooftop.

And the shaky figure of the wizard was like a marionette in his hand.

But this is only an illusion used by the devil to deceive people.The thing slowly turned its gaze to Colin. In its original frequency, even if it was suppressed by the planet, it still retained a considerable degree of power.

Colin knew that if he just ran away in a panic, he would definitely die.

As his mood became unstable, various illusions began to spread on the rooftop.Thick thorns grew from the cracks in the masonry, squeezing half of the floor to the ground and collapsing, and roaring fire burst out from the gap, and the building seemed to be crumbling in the blink of an eye.

This is just a side effect of seeing things with the inner eye. The countless illusions are just inner illusions, which are generated with the shaking of the mind.In addition to interfering with judgment, it will not have any effect on the real situation.

He knew that it was impossible for him to fight against the opponent at present, and he could only hope to defeat it after Arecio and Giovanni got the information, so he simply loosened the shackles of his own imagination and began to image it.

All kinds of memories of the past began to emerge and flow on this small rooftop like a tide.

The scene including the memories of the previous life also appeared here. The buildings with the tempered glass curtain wall were jointed layer by layer in the middle of the fire. The large passenger plane was passing by at a low altitude. The huge noise made him start to ring in his ears. lower guardrail.

But this part of the memory was only fleeting, leaving no trace.Because they have nothing to do with this world, they cannot be used to describe the devil at all.

Then, the memories of this world began to flow.Like the crowd of people on the train platform walking under the stars, different faces pass by one by one.Herds of animals, and artillery fire on the battlefield of Sinal...

Just like the duckweed in the water is attracted by a tiny whirlpool, the fragments of memory begin to stick to the thing bit by bit, as the light and shadow of the memory continue to pass, the image of the creature begins to become unclear, instead Yes, a vague human figure began to emerge.

"Giovanni!" Colin yelled:
"I'm imaging it, if you still want to know its real body, don't let it kill me!"

"I can do it without you telling me," said Giovanni biting.

As soon as the wizard appeared and the scream sounded, Giovanni's shot was not aimed at the wizard, but in his thigh.

He didn't pin his hopes on Arecio, rather, the situation at this time was what he planned in the first place.

How often Colin would be pulled into that thing by himself using the excruciating pain to stay awake.

Colin then imaged it, covering him in the meantime.

When the imaging is complete, it is time for the counterattack to begin.
