Alucier's words stunned Chen Rui for a full 10 seconds, and he regained his composure after a while. His eyes narrowed, "Madam Alucier, no, I should call Alucier 'principal'. This is really unexpected …"
The Alucier in front of him was not some fictional character, but the real "original" version with her original consciousness!
If this world was an inverted illusion, then only Chen Rui and the Alucier in front of him could be considered normal.
This should be Alucier's own consciousness. Was this the "key point"?
"The first thing I have to tell you is that this world is a little different from what you imagined it to be." Alucier smiled, appearing elegant and refined.
"Of course it's different." Chen Rui sneered. "You created this inverted illusion to use some kind of emotion to disrupt my perception and judgment. I admit that it has some effect so far, but you should understand that this effect will not last long."
Alucier slowly shook her head. "Let's not talk about anything else first. There is one most crucial point that you are mistaken about. This is not an illusion, but real existence."
"Real world? You must be joking! " Chen Rui sat down, "My body should still be in the Illusory Forest right now. I admit that your spirit power and mystic arts are still above my imagination, but this illusion will not confuse me for too long."
"You've looked in the mirror, right?" Alucier said to herself. "The mirror is parallel to you. When you look in the mirror, the person in the mirror is also looking at you. If you change the reference, to the mirror, you are the mirror image. This world is the same. Many things are inverted from what you know. Of course, it is not completely inverted. In addition to 'reflection,' there is' refraction. 'You can think of this as a … "
"A new world parallel to the original world?" Chen Rui sneered. "You can't be trying to say that to this' real 'world, I am the illusion, right? I don't have time to argue with you about this paradox. "
Alucier said unhurriedly, "Since you understand this place to be a mirror-like real world, then you must first figure out your own position. You're not the real you now, nor are you a complete phantom. You're somewhere between reality and a phantom."
"Then what kind of existence was the original 'me' in this world? The man in the mirror? " Chen Rui maintained his cold smile and said, "This scumbag's setting is really strange. If it's just to disturb my sight and hearing, then he's underestimating me too much. What is your motive? Just tell me! "
"Everyone has a dark side in their hearts, or he's the dark side of you." Alucier took a sip of coffee. "As for my purpose, it's the word you said just now — 'existence'. That's all. "
"Exist?" Chen Rui asked calmly, but his mind was thinking quickly.
"As I said, there are reflections and refractions in this world. It is not a strictly 'reverse' world. These are not the key. The key is your existence. You are now an 'existence' between reality and illusion. That is to say, you are in two parallel worlds. The choice you make now will determine how you will exist in the future. Maybe you can leave this world and return to the truth that you want the most. Or maybe you will completely deviate from the original world and truly merge with this parallel world. "
"Choice?" Chen Rui did not hide the doubts in his heart this time.
"There are no false gods or demigods here. You cannot use any power outside of the rules. If you want to leave, you must follow the rules of the world. Yes, this is what you are looking for, the so-called 'key point.' I can tell you now. You have three choices. If you choose correctly, you will leave this place and get what you want. If you choose incorrectly, your shadow will truly overlap with this world. "
Chen Rui finally understood. This was a question of choosing one of the three. If he chose correctly, he could escape the illusion. If he chose incorrectly, he would be trapped here forever.
Alucier raised three fingers. "Of the three 'key points,' only one is effective. In fact, there are three characters. Destroy the right key point, and you can break out of this situation. However, you only have one chance. You have to think about it carefully. "
Chen Rui remained calm. "How do I know if this is a trap? Maybe all three are wrong. No matter which one I choose, I will fail."
"Whether it is a trap or not, you can judge for yourself." Alucier smiled slightly. "I have no reason to lie to you. This is a gamble, and I do not know whether I will win or lose in the end. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, this will be the last time you see me. "
The last time! These four words surprised Chen Rui again. Alucier remained calm. "I know you have many questions, not only about this world, but also about the other world. If you can really leave this place, perhaps you will get some answers. However, this answer is not necessarily absolute. Whether it is real or illusory, it is up to you to find and judge for yourself. "
As Chen Rui was thinking, he heard that Alucier had already mentioned the 3 "key points" of characters. He couldn't help but look stunned.
For a while, Chen Rui fell into silence. He almost couldn't remember how he left the principal's office.
He saw Chen Rui coming down from the principal's office, got in the car, and returned to a villa somewhere outside the school.
This villa, whether it was the exterior or the interior, was luxurious. There were many young and beautiful maids.
"You are medusa …" Chen Rui saw the appearance of one of the maids and was stunned.
"I'm Lanliza, not a medusa." The maid looked shy. "Young master, do you want me to accompany you to take a bath?"
Lanliza, the medusa patriarch who surrendered to the Dark Moon in the White Feather Estate. Chen Rui shook his head numbly. "No need."
Disappointment flashed in Lanliza's eyes. "Young master, you take a bath first. The hot water is ready."
Chen Rui nodded and walked into the luxurious bathroom. He immersed himself in the small hot pool and pondered.
Regardless of whether the mirror world that Alucier mentioned is real or not, one thing is certain. I am now lost here. I can't exert my strength or summon the Super System. If I want to get out, I can only use the existing rules to break the rules.
Key points!
In the principal's office, the three "key points" that Alucier mentioned were Chen Rui, Alucier, and Athena.
Chen Rui had already guessed that Alucier might be the key point in advance. Chen Rui himself being the key point was not beyond his expectation. The only person who was surprised was Athena.
Alucier's explanation was that she was the main reason that lured Chen Rui to this "parallel world". She was also the key to the recent series of "campus" events. Therefore, Athena's role in this world was also the key point.
Intuition told Chen Rui that Alucier did not lie.
One of these three key points must be real.
Killing Alucier, Athena, or myself is the way to leave this world. However, this is a single choice and not multiple choices. There is a one-third chance of success, but there is also a two-thirds chance of failure.
The key depends on how I judge.
This kind of thinking continued until dinner time. Although the dinner was very sumptuous, Chen Rui still couldn't eat properly.
At this time, the phone rang. It was Satan.
"Chen Rui, we are already having fun. Why aren't you here yet?"
Chen Rui just remembered that Satan seemed to have booked a night for a celebration after the basketball game. Just as he was about to find an excuse to decline, he heard Satan say, "It's a coincidence. We saw that the girl from the art department that you dumped was being entangled by two guys. By the way, the girl's name is something like Kia."
"Kia!" Chen Rui's eyelids twitched. It's actually the girl from the art department that I dumped after I got tired of playing with her? If the little succubus finds out, it would be strange if she didn't die!
"You help her settle it immediately! I'll come over right now! "
Satan said disapprovingly, "Didn't you dump that chick? I remember that chick was desperate … If you didn't want to go back to her, we would have continued to watch the fun. "
Chen Rui gritted his teeth and finally said the scumbag words that were the most immersive. "Let's not talk about going back to her first. Others shouldn't even think about picking up the things that I threw away!"
On the other side, Satan laughed and agreed. "I like these words. Okay, I'll take care of this. Hurry up and come over!"
Chen Rui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly ordered Lucio to prepare the car.
Soon, the car arrived at "Happy Hour." This was a large nightclub with very high specifications. When Chen Rui arrived, Satan had already settled the trouble that Kia had encountered. He was drinking with Michael and the others in a luxurious KTV suite that they had booked.
As soon as he saw Chen Rui's arrival, Satan laughed, "You're late. You have to drink as a punishment."
Chen Rui saw Kia, who was sitting in the corner with her head down. Without saying a word, he took the wine from Ben Hong and drank it in one gulp. Everyone applauded.
While toasting, Chen Rui pretended to ask Ben Hong casually, "What trouble did she encounter?"
"Hmph!" Ben Hong ignored him.
Satan smiled indifferently, "Hehe, you still value a lover more than a friend. Why don't you ask Miss Kia herself."
Kia still lowered her head and said nothing. Gabriel came up and whispered to Chen Rui, "The ones who are troubling her are 2 little punks who often lend usury at the school, Lala Aria and Olypheus. I heard before that Kia borrowed a lot of money to help her mother treat her illness. She is now working part-time as a bartender here, and she was found by these 2 guys to collect the debt. "
Lala Aria and Olypheus have become little punks who lend money at the school? Well, this setting barely matches part of the prototype, but Kia, she …
Chen Rui thought about it and sat next to Kia. Kia trembled slightly and didn't move.
The little succubi in this world didn't have horns, wings, and tails, but their appearances were the same. The way they lowered their heads and didn't speak looked lovely.
"Come, cheers for today's victory!" Satan took the lead and raised his glass. Except for Kia, everyone clinked their glasses.
Halfway through the celebration, Chen Rui found an excuse and pulled Kia out. Kia didn't resist. She just kept her head down until she got into his car.
The car drove slowly. Lucio was obviously very tactful as he didn't drive fast.
"Kia." Chen Rui had a familiar and unfamiliar feeling. Perhaps he was more unfamiliar. Seeing Kia, who had never spoken, he sighed, "How much do you owe them?"
Kia understood the meaning of his words. She raised her head with red eyes and a hint of ridicule in her eyes, "What else do you want from me?"
Chen Rui stared into Kia's eyes, and he was suddenly in a trance as if he saw the little succubus who risked her life to sneak into the Dark Moon to be a spy because of her mother. He sighed, "No need."
"Did the sun rise from the west? You also have a moment of conscience? "Although Kia was a little surprised, her ridicule was still the same.
Chen Rui was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he thought of something and smiled, "Am I not a scumbag? Where is my conscience! But you have nothing to lose anyway, so what are you worried about? "
"Am I not a scumbag?" Kia pointed out the window, "Don't tell me that it wasn't you who sent someone to smash her father's stall, and it wasn't you who injured her father behind the scenes?"
Chen Rui looked out of the window and saw a familiar figure dragging a stall cart under the streetlight, walking forward a little laboriously.
It's her!
Athena …
Chen Rui silently recited the most important name in his heart.
The car quickly drove past the figure, but Chen Rui didn't look back.
"Should I get off?" Kia sneered, "Lest I delay your 'important matter'."
Chen Rui shook his head, "My most important matter now is to send you home safely."
Kia frowned, "Aren't we going to your villa? What do you want to do? "
"I'm thinking, if I leave this world …"
"You can die in peace. Many people will definitely rejoice," Kia interrupted before he could finish.
"Such a venomous tongue, it's a bit like a person."
"Is it Helen?" Kia's eyes became redder, "She's much stronger than me, not as stupid as I am …"
So the other girl from the Arts Department is Helen … Chen Rui suddenly understood. I bought a watch last year, so many deceptive settings, I can't stand it anymore. I don't care if this is a mirror world or an illusion. The next time I see Elusier, I must give him a good punch!
"I was thinking about something important, but now I've thought it through. First, I have to go back and carefully sort out the glorious deeds of that scumbag … Thank you, Kia."
Kia didn't understand what Chen Rui was saying, but when she heard the word "thank you," she couldn't help but snort coldly.
Then both of them fell silent. After a while, the car passed through the potholes and came to a simple hut.
Kia opened the door and got out of the car. Suddenly, the voice of "scumbag" sounded behind her, but it was gentle like never before.
"Kia, everything will be fine."
Kia paused, but she didn't look back and continued to walk forward.
"Let's go back to the villa, Lucio." Chen Rui watched Kia walk into the hut and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, as if the moon had turned into a magnificent purple. He smiled and said to himself, "It will be fine."
