Amidst the panic, everyone tried to search for the so-called familiarity!
There was nothing, nothing at all.
The closer they got to the edge of the cliff, the thicker the smoke and dust. Amidst the blurry scene, only a few giant figures could be seen roaring.
Explosions were accompanied by sparks and sparks. Occasionally, a few figures would jump up and stab with their swords, causing blood to splash everywhere.
At that moment, the sound became extraordinarily real. There were shouts, roars, the sound of metal piercing into flesh, the rustling sound of ropes sliding, and the sound of people commanding …
It was a battlefield!
So, behind the quiet cliff, behind the illusory scene, there was a battlefield?!
Then, what was going on with everything that they saw? Were the dimensions intertwined? If that was the case, it would be more accurate to describe the scene as real or fake.
Tang Ling almost lost his balance, but he was already the best among them. Andy and the two girls could no longer stand. All they could do was sit down and barely stabilize their trembling bodies.
Orston could not help but lean his body against Tang Ling. Only with some support could he maintain his upright posture.
Amir half-knelt on the ground.
Fortunately, Yu was there to stand shoulder to shoulder with Tang Ling.
In less than 20 seconds, Tang Ling denied the so-called truth that had existed in the young warriors' hearts for more than a decade.
"Do you regret it?" Instructor Thuja's voice finally calmed the young warriors down a little.
When they looked up, they realized that Instructor Thuja was not standing in the air. Instead, he was standing on a rock platform that protruded out from the edge of the cliff. It was almost 20 meters long.
The edge of the rock platform was reinforced with steel.
At the edge of the platform, a thick iron frame with a huge winch was firmly fixed there.
At this moment, the capstan was rotating, and the steel chains in the capstan made squeaking sounds, as if something was being hoisted up.
However, no one paid attention to the capstan. Everyone was looking at Instructor Thuja. They wanted an explanation or even a few words of comfort.
Instructor Thuja was holding a bottle of wine in his hand. He took a swig with a faint smile and said with a slightly mocking tone, "Back then, when I first saw this and those monsters, I thought that I would have to fight those monsters in the future. I was in despair.
"What about you guys?" There was no explanation, no consolation, just a question.
"Compared to this …" Orston clenched his fists and stepped forward. He squeezed the words out of his clenched teeth, "What's the point of lying?"
"I don't know how you did it. But was there any meaning in such a lie? What are the people who live behind this illusion? He's been reared by you … "
Orston could not continue, but he had a reason to be agitated.
Look at the huge beasts and monsters in the distance! Even though they're far away, they're still terrifying!
No matter how stupid he was, at this moment, he understood that the one who loved him the most and also his most beloved Fifth Brother must have died behind this cliff.
Everyone in the family said that his fifth brother was a hero. What bullsh * t hero? He did not care about being a hero at all. He only knew that a few days before his fifth brother left, his fifth brother had affectionately caressed his head and said to him with a smile, "Little Orston will definitely be stronger than me when he grows up."
In the end, he died mysteriously a few days later.
There was no body, no cause of death, and no one knew where he died.
People might not ask how a hero died, but in Orston's heart, how could he accept a living Fifth Brother vanish from his world without an answer?
Was it all to hide the so-called truth?
Instructor Thuja did not say anything. His side profile as he looked up at the sky was unfathomable.
It was at that moment that a calm voice interrupted them.
"I hate this kind of ignorant and arrogant talk."
The capstan stopped spinning, and a giant iron cage was hanging from the slightly swaying steel rope. The cage's door was opened, and Yang Kong stepped out. He looked at the excited Orston and mocked him. "What are you waiting for?" Orston's eyes lit up.
"Who caused us to be ignorant?" Orston's face was flushed red. His rage made his veins bulge.
However, Tang Ling pulled him back.
In terms of rage, who would not be?
A day ago, someone had told him that the night sky that he had been watching for more than a decade, the towering cliff, the distant night sky, and the misty mountains far away were all fake.
He would have been furious.
How many times had he and his sister gazed at each other in silence on the little hill? How many warm and intimate memories were those?
In the end, even his memories were fooled?!
But so what? The truth was the truth. Being angry was powerless. Explaining was important, but facing the truth was more important.
Orston shared the same thought. All he could do was face the truth.
With that in mind, he tapped Orston's shoulder. His hand seemed to have magical powers as it calmed Orston down.
He was relieved because he still had companions, right?
Yang Kong's expression did not change at Orston's question. He walked towards Thuja step by step and spoke casually.
"Is it that hard to accept? During the later stage of the old civilization, there was a technology called 3D holographic projection.
It's very interesting and has a lot of room for development. However, as we know, the old civilization has been destroyed.
But it doesn't mean that in this era, there isn't a projection technology that's more powerful than the old civilization's.
This technology can create reality and deceive people's eyes. By interfering with sound waves, it can mask real sounds and even create fake sounds to deceive people's ears.
"Coincidentally, our Safety Sector No. 17 has such a high-tech projector, so we used it to our advantage."
Still, it's not surprising because this technology has been around since the old civilization, isn't it? "
As he spoke, Yang Kong was already standing beside Thuja. He tilted his head to look at Orston and said word by word, "Or, do you want us to remove this shameful cloth and let the people behind it live in fear every day?"
Orston lowered his head and did not say anything else.
What should he answer? Did he have the right to think that people should live in fear?
Tang Ling stood quietly in front of Orston. His eyes were crystal clear.
He did not think that deceiving and deceiving others was right.
What was fear and living in fear every day? If one was used to it, there would be no such thing as fear. Ever since humans evolved, they had to face the vile, primitive world. Did they not survive until now?
There was no right or wrong in this kind of thing. It was nothing more than the strong making the decisions.
