"I'll do it."

A smile played on Zheng Fan's lips as he spoke, not giving off the slightest impression of being forced into it. Instead, he exuded absolute confidence.

The Blind One was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening, and a smile also appeared on his face.

Si Niang covered her mouth, letting out a melodious and seductive laugh.

Ever since awakening in this world,

Zheng Fan had been constantly learning; there was so much he needed to learn:

Martial arts,
Warfare,
Socializing,
All sorts of things he needed to utilize.

Like a newborn infant, he was re-exploring this unknown world step by step.

Gradually, the Demon Kings, and even Zheng Fan himself, would begin to overlook certain things.

For example,

When facing this situation,

The Blind One hadn't initially considered the possibility of his lord acting, until his lord spoke, and the Blind One remembered that his lord, in his previous life, had been the main writer of horror comics.

Lord Zheng often liked to say, "Each to their own profession";

So Lord Zheng would often confidently hand over various affairs to the Demon Kings, a hands-on leader wasn't necessarily a good leader, but a leader who knew how to delegate work well couldn't be too bad.

But the situation at hand,

Just so happened to coincide with Zheng Fan's profession.

Let's sort out the chain of events:

The arrival of the princess and her entry into the manor,

Stimulated Sha Tuo Que Shi, giving him a chance to "wake up" from his muddle;

Sha Tuo Que Shi, through the magic pill, transformed the zombie aura and resentment on his body into mental energy, attempting to seek an explanation from the princess in a way that left no trace.

However, the princess's will was too firm, and Sha Tuo Que Shi himself was not skilled in this area. If they continued to stalemate, not only would the magic pill and Sha Tuo Que Shi be in danger, but there would even be a possibility of being countered.

Therefore, what was needed now was a handler, someone skilled in this area, and at the same time, someone who could get the magic pill to willingly hand over its power and leadership.

The answer was simple and unique: it was none other than Zheng Fan.

The Blind One got up, walked to Zheng Fan's side, and placed his hand on Zheng Fan's forehead.

"Anything else you want to say, my lord?" the Blind One asked.

Si Niang rebuked, "Blind One, can you say something auspicious?"

The Blind One retorted, "Are you asking me to flatter my lord by saying that he will definitely succeed? We're family, why are we trying to encourage ourselves? Wouldn't it be better to discourage ourselves instead?"

Si Niang suddenly felt that what the Blind One said made a lot of sense.

Zheng Fan said, "You can trim your nails, they've turned yellow from eating too many oranges."

The Blind One smiled, "Understood, my lord."

Immediately afterward,

The Blind One's mental energy began to try to enter Zheng Fan's consciousness,

Zheng Fan actively opened his mind, allowing the Blind One to establish a mental connection with him.

This was a connection method that surpassed the usual "mind link," allowing the two to be more closely aligned in consciousness.

After all, anything on the mental level was a highly technical task, allowing for no negligence.

After the connection was established, the Blind One began to try to contact the mental power emitted by the magic pill again.

Zheng Fan had often heard of a term called "stream of consciousness" before, but now he truly experienced the feeling of a real stream of consciousness, as if your body had turned into flowing water and was being carried along.

When touching another river, the other side first showed a clear sense of rejection.

This was the magic pill's reaction after discovering the Blind One's mental energy approaching again, because Sha Tuo Que Shi was pinching its main body, the stone, while the Blind One was here, going in and out like he was watching a show.

But soon, the magic pill noticed another extremely familiar consciousness wrapped in the Blind One's mental energy, and immediately released its restraints.

...

"Buzz!"

Zheng Fan appeared in the next room, with the Blind One by his side.

The Blind One was still wearing a hoodie, while Zheng Fan was wearing a hospital gown.

"It's exactly the same as the real thing."

Zheng Fan exclaimed.

This was an extremely realistic dream, without the slightest confusion of a dream.

"My lord, we don't have much time. The reason why this illusion is so realistic is not only due to the power of the magic pill, but also the power of Sha Tuo Que Shi.

The situation facing us now is that Sha Tuo Que Shi has chosen a method that he is most unsuited for to seek an explanation from the princess. Like two armies clashing, if the princess continues to stand firm, Sha Tuo Que Shi will inevitably collapse after a long and unsuccessful siege.

If the princess has magical artifacts that can manipulate and influence mental energy, it is very likely that she will launch a counterattack when Sha Tuo Que Shi collapses."

"What will be the result of the counterattack?"

"There's a term called reverse consciousness implantation, like a hypnotist hypnotizing you and then performing deep consciousness implantation, a bit like a puppet."

"I understand."

Zheng Fan prepared to go to the next room to take a look, but the Blind One grabbed his arm.

"My lord, your face."

Even in a dream, one must conceal one's identity.

Zheng Fan then noticed that the two were dressed differently. The Blind One's hoodie looked stylish, but why was he wearing this outfit?

Seeming to see what Zheng Fan was thinking, the Blind One directly answered:

"This is the presentation of my lord's consciousness when he entered, it can be changed."

"Oh."

Zheng Fan reached out, tore a piece of tablecloth from the table, and covered his face.

Then, Zheng Fan walked out of the room and saw a scene in the master bedroom that had been frozen for a long time.

Sha Tuo Que Shi, yes, it was indeed Sha Tuo Que Shi, his appearance when he was alive, mindlessly mixing in with his own troops, eating and drinking all day long.

And at this moment, his hand was gripping the princess's neck.

It was clear that the red in Sha Tuo Que Shi's eyes was becoming more and more intense.

The Blind One walked behind Zheng Fan and whispered:

"My lord, this means that Sha Tuo Que Shi's conscious awareness is slowly fading. Ah Cheng is outside, so I don't know what exactly happened to Sha Tuo Que Shi, nor do I understand the principle behind this change."

"Let's solve the problem at hand first," Zheng Fan said.

Just then,

The princess's gaze turned here again,

She saw the man in the hoodie returning,

At the same time, a thin man in blue and white striped clothes and a masked face appeared.

Because what Zheng Fan was presenting was his appearance before his euthanasia, wasn't he thin and weak?

"Who exactly are you?" the princess asked.

Zheng Fan silently retreated back to the next room, the Blind One followed closely behind, the princess could only watch the two strange men come and go, come and go.

Inside the next room, Zheng Fan took off the mask and sat down at the small round table.

The Blind One sat down next to Zheng Fan and reminded:

"My lord, you need to communicate with the magic pill first, let it hand over its power and leadership to you, and then communicate with Sha Tuo Que Shi."

Zheng Fan raised his hand,

Indicating for the Blind One not to speak,

Zheng Fan took a deep breath,

Then rubbed his face with both hands,

And said:

"These are not problems, let me find my state first, I don't need you to give me any advice, I have my own methods and rhythm."

"Yes, my lord."

Zheng Fan rubbed his wrist,

Reached out his hand,

Making a gesture of holding a pen.

This was a habitual action, starting from his student days, he would always think about spinning a pen when thinking.

The Blind One understood, reached out and picked up a silver chopstick from the center of the small round coffee table, and placed it in his lord's hand.

The silver chopsticks were used to pick up snacks from the fruit plate, this silver chopstick had a coiled dragon on the upper part and embroidered peony on the lower part, it could be described as quite exquisite.

But, this was actually an item that didn't exist in the Earl's mansion.

The layout of the Earl's mansion could be cleverly pleasant, but specifically these detailed items, hey, taking a step back, who would use chopsticks to eat dried fruit at home, let alone silver chopsticks.

Only those truly meticulous families, who were truly wealthy to a certain level, would put their minds to these small details.

Therefore,

This also meant,

That the princess's consciousness was beginning to be reflected in this environment, this chopstick was the detail.

Just like a leaking house, there must first be small cracks.

Furthermore, the silver chopsticks were delicate and precise, the knife work was clear, which showed that the princess's current state was quite calm.

Zheng Fan turned the chopsticks with his right hand, while tapping lightly on the table with his left hand.

The Blind One asked again in a low voice: "My lord, what else do you need?"

"Background music, I guess."

"Okay."

The Blind One reached out, picked up two more chopsticks, and then spread out the large and small bowls and teapots on the round table, preparing to tap the bowls to make music.

At the same time,

The Blind One also thoughtfully asked:

"My lord, which song?"

"'Lilac'," I guess."

"Okay, what mode?"

"Single loop."

"Okay."

The undercurrents were already surging in the next room,

But the two people in this room still paid attention to the exquisiteness of the form.

The Blind One began to tap the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, playing the tune.

Zheng Fan listened for a while while spinning his pen,

And smiled:

"Turn on the original singer."

The Blind One began to sing: "You said you love lilac the most..."

Zheng Fan closed his eyes with satisfaction,

Snapped his fingers,

And said:

"Magic pill, hand over."

"Pa!"

In an instant,

The sky went dark!

...

An illusion is a form of expression of consciousness, just as paint is initially piled up randomly, but in the hands of a painter, after the redistribution of colors, it can present an exquisite landscape.

The magic pill would obey Zheng Fan's orders.

After sensing his own consciousness beginning to expand,

Zheng Fan said again:

"Lao Sha, leave it to me, let me do something for you."

Zheng Fan didn't know if Sha Tuo Que Shi could hear his voice, but no matter what, Zheng Fan didn't think Sha Tuo Que Shi would refuse.

This was a very strange feeling,

Because Zheng Fan believed that Sha Tuo Que Shi would not refuse all his requests.

The Demon Kings used to joke that their lord had recognized a godfather, but later, few people joked about it, because this godfather was really reliable.

Sure enough,

As soon as Zheng Fan's voice fell,

Another force began to be added to his consciousness.

For a moment,

Zheng Fan changed from a passer-by who came in to take a look, to a painter in this environment who could pick up a brush and paint.

This feeling,

Was wonderful,

But also very familiar.

It was as if he had returned to the years when he was sitting behind his workstation in his previous life, thinking about the plot and sketching;

But,

This time, he only had one reader.

After picking up the brush, he could clearly feel the fatigue and heaviness coming from the brush.

You could blame Sha Tuo Que Shi for choosing this method, if he hadn't been able to come to the rescue, his end might have been very miserable.

But Zheng Fan couldn't say anything was wrong with the other party, even the slightest complaint was a sin, because Sha Tuo Que Shi also knew that directly and violently trying to kill the princess was the most direct and simple way, but he was afraid of implicating himself, so he didn't use it.

Zheng Fan raised his head,

Actually,

He didn't have a head now, nor a body, in front of him, was a chaotic darkness.

Only the voice with a sense of vicissitudes was humming the melody of "Lilac" in his ears.

Now,

He could begin.

Zheng Fan's consciousness crossed this room and looked at the next room, the original two adjacent rooms, the location where Zheng Fan was before, was already a blur.

And next door, Sha Tuo Que Shi was still grabbing the princess's neck.

"Darkness."

Zheng Fan spoke.

He didn't make a sound, his voice was will, was command, within the square inch of the spirit, there was a sense of saying and having the law follow.

"Buzz!"

In an instant,

Darkness completely enveloped!

This was a pure black, devouring all luster and other colors.

The princess also fell down, she found that the bedroom was gone, and the barbarian Left Guli King who was grabbing her neck was also gone, around her, only a dark and deep black remained.

A strange feeling began to linger in the princess's heart.

But even so, she still didn't activate the heart-protecting jade pendant on her body, nor did she activate the Pixiu tooth ring on her ankle, and even less did she respond to the two Qi refiners, Big Tiger and Little Tiger, outside.

She was a proud woman, and also a confident woman.

Perhaps, her pride and her confidence made Little Sixth and Lord Zheng feel very uncomfortable, but you couldn't deny that she wasn't purely an arrogant and willful second-generation descendant.

Based on just one point,

She could make the Sixth Prince shed tears of grievance, which was enough to prove her excellence.

Zheng Fan was watching her,

She also seemed to be looking for Zheng Fan.

"The line of defense of the mind is like a castle, the most ingenious way to break the game is to open a gap from the inside."

Zheng Fan was talking to himself,

Or deliberately saying it to the Blind One,

Although the Blind One probably couldn't hear it,

But it didn't matter, just take it as a soliloquy, it could also help him clarify his thoughts.

"But I don't know the princess very well, including yesterday, I've only met her three times in total, and more information about her comes from external rumors.

The effect of the illusion lies in echoing, first, you have to set up a scene that makes the target feel a sense of immersion, the real and the false, the false and the real, the sense of immersion must be there, otherwise, it won't have any effect at all.

I've been to the Zhenbei Hou's mansion, and I've also wandered around the Zhenbei Hou's mansion with Little Sixth, that place should be where the princess has spent the longest and is most familiar with since she was a child, so the initial scene can be set as that.

But the background is dead,

This woman, the princess, may miss her home after being thousands of miles away for a long time, but homesickness is just her pastime before going to bed, it's impossible to make her lose her mind and become confused.

Therefore, after choosing the scene, you also need to choose the gap in the princess's heart.

Therefore, I chose to adjust everything around to black at the beginning, just to let her tell me herself, what is the gap in her heart, or what is she afraid of!"

Darkness,

Prolonged darkness,

In absolute darkness, people will feel that time passes very slowly, even completely blurring the concept of time.

And at this moment,

Zheng Fan silently began to reduce the concentration of this darkness.

Reducing it little by little, thinning it little by little,

Correspondingly, an area between gray began to gradually take shape, but the surroundings were still mainly black.

At first, the princess would keep spinning her body, observing her surroundings, but slowly, she stood there motionless, she seemed to be waiting.

Zheng Fan knew that he wouldn't have much time, but he was still methodical, adjusting the tone little by little.

At the same time,

He began to add light and shadow little by little.

The light and shadow were shaking, the gray was also like spots, seemingly real, and the surrounding main color was still black.

"Tell me, tell me, tell me what the gap in your heart is, what are you afraid of?"

The constant shuttle of light and shadow hit the black and gray color scheme, making people seem to see hazy shadows in their field of vision.

This kind of light and shadow actually has no specific image, it's like a child looking up at the sky under the teacher's guidance, discussing what the white clouds in the sky look like for a while, and then what they look like again, it's actually up to your own imagination.

This atmosphere,

This environment,

Absolute silence, the transition from black to light, is actually a transition from tension to relaxation in the heart.

"Huff..."

Zheng Fan seemed to be standing beside the princess, he was looking at where the princess was looking, trying as much as possible to touch the rhythm of her heart.

You are really excellent, but you are not like Tian Wujing, who can forcibly suppress his inner demons and even improve his realm again after destroying his entire family;

Nor are you like Emperor Yan, who can treat his children as chips that can be sacrificed and manipulated at will for the sake of his grand ambitions.

Perhaps in the future, give you twenty, thirty, forty years, when you are old, you can become them, but you are still too young now.

Zheng Fan believed that he could get the result he wanted.

No matter how confident you are, no matter how willful you are, my routine is deeper, you can't jump out of it.

Finally,

There was a reaction,

The princess's eyes slowly narrowed.

She saw it,

In front of her, a small figure appeared, running towards her,

He was running towards her,

He was opening his arms to her,

Even,

He was also calling out to her,

Cries after cries,

With the most innocent childishness:

"Sister... Sister... Sister..."

But the princess's face didn't show joy or emotion,

Her face didn't have any expression that a sister should have now,

Instead,

It was disgust,

Instead,

It was rejection,

Instead,

It was fear.

She even,

Faced with the little figure that seemed to be getting closer and closer,

Took two steps back subconsciously.

On one side,

Zheng Fan, who was almost overlapping with the princess's body, still stood in place. The princess couldn't see his existence, or rather, he didn't exist at all.

He turned his head,

Looked at the princess who had retreated behind him,

With a hint of surprise on his face, and then a playful smile,

And muttered to himself:

"Interesting, what she's afraid of is actually her own brother."

Don't panic, there's another update before twelve o'clock.
