Hearing Yun Xiang's voice, Lu Wuming frowned.
He looked back in the girl's direction, his gaze too cold to startle her. She instinctively shifted to the side, hiding behind You Siqi, who was also unaffected by the illusion.
However, You Siqi was clearly not a good option.
As Yun Xiang approached, he had already raised his hands in a gesture of surrender to Lu Wuming.
Then, turning to Yun Xiang, You Siqi looked embarrassed. He said, "I'm sorry, Miss Yun, I really want to protect you, but I can't. I'm the weakest among all of us, and I have no spiritual power at all. If you hide behind me, at best I can be a shield for you. As long as Lu Wuming makes a move, both of us are guaranteed to die, and neither of us will survive."
Yun Xiang: ...
Although she rarely interacted with people, the girl, with her limited social experience, judged that no one would state their weakness so righteously.
But this was not the time to worry about that.
Both of them could clearly feel that Lu Wuming's state was very wrong. His deep eyes were tinged with blood, like a trapped beast, struggling to suppress madness and slaughter.
You Siqi began to consider the possibility of escape.
Yun Xiang also instinctively adopted a defensive posture.
Just as they both thought Lu Wuming was about to make a move, he merely raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why were you two not affected?"
When he spoke, his voice and tone sounded perfectly normal.
You Siqi breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he and Lu Wuming had only exchanged a few words, he knew that as long as Liu Buli did not object, Lu Wuming, in his normal state, would not proactively harm anyone.
Fortunately, he was in a normal state now and could still communicate.
Feeling as if he had just walked through the gates of hell, You Siqi was drained of all strength, almost dropping the black cat in his hands.
Fortunately, his reaction was quick. As he clutched the black cat, he let out a dry laugh and said, "This illusion seems unable to simulate the situation in my world, so it had no effect on me. To be honest, I have nothing to worry about here. Shen Muzhi is the protagonist, he has the protagonist's halo, and even the Heavenly Dao protects him. Is there anything I need to worry about him for? As for that world, I do have many things to worry about. For example, my parents at home, and my brother, but if it can't simulate them, what can it do to me?"
He spoke very frankly.
Lu Wuming stared into his eyes for a moment, then silently confirmed in his heart that this fool was indeed not lying.
In his heart, Shen Muzhi was an absolutely invincible existence. Because he firmly believed this, even the illusion could not affect him in any way, and therefore would not be effective.
What was this?
A fool's luck?
Lu Wuming didn't know. He only knew that his impression of You Siqi had become even more foolish.
Unwilling to discuss further, Lu Wuming looked at Yun Xiang on the other side.
He was not familiar with this woman.
But he knew that her not falling into the illusion should also have a reason.
Sensing his gaze, Yun Xiang shook her head.
She herself didn't know the reason, so how could she answer Lu Wuming?
Instead, You Siqi smiled and took over the conversation. He said, "Yun Xiang was not affected because she has always lived here. She is like a pure white sheet of paper. There is nothing on the paper, so how could she have fear or sadness? Illusions weave dreams to harm you based on your greatest fears, so..."
"Wait a minute," Lu Wuming interrupted, "so this is all fake, and it won't become reality, right?"
You Siqi scratched his head. "This..."
He hesitated.
But as he hesitated, the spiritual energy around Lu Wuming intensified, giving the impression that he was about to turn this question into a fatal one.
For the sake of his own safety, You Siqi immediately gave up thinking and raised his hand to answer, "That's right! It's all fake! Don't worry! It will never come true!"
