I was so scared that I didn’t listen to a word Boss Wang said. I had to close my eyes and take a deep breath before I could continue to think. Boss Wang asked again before I came to my senses and said hoarsely: "I'm not sure what I saw. It's impossible."

The face of the corpse had been trapped in the cocoon for thousands of years. Although it was cut off from the outside air, the water inside still dispersed outside the body, so the entire face shrank inward slightly and stuck to the skull, making it look a bit ferocious. , but overall, it was relatively well preserved. Because of this, I immediately realized that this face looked exactly like Lao Itch!

The eyes and the nose are all extremely similar. The weirdest thing is that the hemorrhoids on his face and the scars left from fighting when he was a child are all there. This corpse seems to be the old itch that has been magnified and curled up in the amber corpse. It's like being in a cocoon, making your scalp numb and your whole body breaking out in a cold sweat, but you don't know what you're afraid of.

I rubbed my eyes and slapped myself a few times to wake up. Then I leaned over and took a look. I immediately closed my eyes and stepped back. I gritted my teeth and cursed. Yes, it was his face. It was impossible to see it. wrong.

I couldn't help but scream in my heart, what on earth is going on in this ghost place? This kind of thing can only happen in crappy novels of God's Fable. In the real society, no matter how you explain it, it can't be explained.

Boss Wang saw that my expression was extremely bad, he handed me a cigarette and said: "This is really a ghost. Could your friend be the descendant of such a giant? Maybe their race is relatively small. So his appearance Very similar.

I shook my head, "No, that's not the problem. He and I grew up together, and we work in antiques. I'm very sensitive to details. This corpse looks too much like him, including the location of the hemorrhoids and the scars." , these things are not inherited. This corpse is simply a copy of him. There must be something wrong with it, and it is man-made. Boss Wang, I feel that we are being calculated. This corpse cocoon must be fake. I Break him open and see!”

Boss Wang quickly waved his hand and said: "Young man, please calm down. I thought the same thing just now, but look around, if you are plotting against us, this battle will be too big. Although my fat guy has some wealth, I don't think I am qualified." If someone teases me like this, I’m afraid it’s not that serious.”

I looked around and knew that what he said was right. I was confused just now, so I had no choice but to nod my head. At this time, I remembered that the hallucination I had when I was struck by the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse Move in Prince Lu's Palace was also very real. He could hardly tell the difference, and wondered if he had been tricked again, so he hurriedly asked him: "Boss Wang, you are also in the industry, have you ever encountered similar things before, or is there some kind of corpse cocoon?" What kind of evil spirit can make people hallucinate?"

Boss Wang shook his head: "Although the corpse cocoon is a relatively sinister thing, it is still a dead thing. It is not extremely rare. I have never encountered such an outrageous thing since I lost my hand. And if you want to say it is a hallucination, , I have only met your friend a few times. I don’t think I will see such a resemblance to him.

"

That's indeed the case. I nodded in agreement, because I am the only one who understands the features on Lao Itchy's face best. Hallucinations work using information from the human brain. What Boss Wang has in mind is very different from mine. , logically even if you are hit, you should see a completely different scene.

No, could it be that even Boss Wang is an illusion caused by hallucination?

No way, I felt a thump in my heart.

But speaking of it, I always feel that he looks a bit like a fat man. Is it an illusion that uses the memory of a fat man in my brain to create the image of Boss Wang?

The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes. Zhang Baldy speaks Cantonese and is also a bit fat. If you add the two of them together, wouldn't they be Boss Wang? The temperament and tone of voice are indeed somewhat similar.

I turned my head away and stared at him for a while. Suddenly, I realized something was wrong. Even if I wanted to fantasize about the cigarette he gave me, I couldn't imagine anything that was not in my brain.

That being said, Boss Wang is not a real person, and I am relieved.

Boss Wang saw that I was silent and didn't know that I had just concluded that he was "not a human being." Then he came back and took out a tape measure. While measuring the size of the amber, he said to me: "The young man is not a human being." Boy, since it happened, there must be an explanation, so we might as well think about it from the beginning and see if there is anything that we don't know about each other."

After all, Boss Wang is a man in the world. He is more practical and does things in his own order. He is not panicking at this time. I think what he said is right, so I nodded and first explained how I encountered the old itch and how to deal with it. At this point, I talked to him one by one.

Boss Wang nodded after hearing this and said thoughtfully: "Listening to what you said, your friend is not a fuel-efficient lamp either."

I said that I couldn't figure him out, and I asked Boss Wang why they came to this place. "

Boss Wang sat down, lit the cigarette he gave me, took out one himself, and said, "The process was similar to yours. We were entrusted by others, but we had a smooth journey until we met you. Things start to happen, and I think there must be something wrong with your friend."

I saw that after he got the words out of me, I wanted to go around and not say anything, and I couldn't help but feel unhappy. But at this time, I had no choice but to continue what he was saying and ask him: "How do you say it?"

Boss Wang thought for a while and said: "In order, let's sort out a few strange things first, and then think about them slowly. See if what I said is right."

I nodded.

He said: "First, why are there such big fish in the mine? The food structure and water temperature here are completely unsuitable for the survival of this kind of fish. How did they grow to be so big?

Second, why are there intermittent fountains in the underground river? We are in a mountain. Even if there are hot springs, the temperature should not be so high. Besides, this is not a volcanic zone.

Third, it was such a dangerous journey for us. How did your friend get out back then? This tree is so tall, could he climb it alone? Why didn't he encounter a cup worm when he climbed up? Have you encountered it?

Fourth, and the most outrageous, is the body in amber that was used by ethnic minorities to make alchemy thousands of years ago. He actually looks exactly like a tomb robber from a thousand years later. Isn't this hell? "

I nodded and agreed. I could barely explain the first few questions using my common sense, but the last question was really too big, and no one would be able to solve it.

Boss Wang looked above his head. Said: "There is another thing that is also very strange. From your description, it seems that you guys are here for money, but your friend has been here once and knows that there is nothing here. The amber corpse cocoon is as big as the two of you. If you can't move away, then he tried every possible means to lure you here, what exactly do you want to do?"

I had been muttering like this in my heart for a long time. When he said it, I remembered something else and asked him: "Ignore this for now. Boss Wang, what is the purpose of coming here? I see that you don't seem to know this." What’s up there?”

Boss Wang's expression changed and he said: "Yes, Li Pipa never said anything. He only told us that when we come here, we will have everything we want. He likes to play mysticism. He often prevaricates us like this."

"Wait a minute, what did he say?" When I heard this, I suddenly had an idea and seemed to have thought of something.

Boss Wang was stunned for a moment and repeated, "He said that as long as you come here, you can have anything you want."

I suddenly realized it quietly, slapped my thigh, and shouted: "I know!!!"

Boss Wang shocked me and looked at me inexplicably.

I scratched my head excitedly and my mind was spinning rapidly. Li Pipa was talking about coming here. There was a difference in the name. They all misunderstood his meaning. In fact, the key is the word "arrive". In other words, the key is not Whatever you can get, you have to go to that place first. Once you get to that place, there will naturally be power to give you whatever you want! ! ! "

I took a deep breath to calm myself down, then I patted my face and continued to push. There was only this bronze tree in the place he mentioned. So, that is to say, on this ancient bronze tree, there were What kind of power can make people have whatever they want?

I thought about the copper stick that Lao Itchy kept me from touching the bronze tree, and the rubber gloves he gave me before climbing the tree, and what he said about the bronze tree that would turn into a sinister person, and my eyes suddenly opened up. stand up.

It turns out that this is the case. No wonder, if this is the case, this is indeed a well-deserved benefit. No benefit in the world is worth one billionth of this benefit.

I never dreamed that the answer to this matter is so simple. Li Pipa has summarized it in one sentence. In the words of my mind, the meaning of Li Pipa's sentence is - as long as you get to this place, your subconscious will It can affect the surrounding environment and turn your subconscious imagination into real objects. This means that everything we see now is made by ourselves. This bronze tree was not like this before. This cave It turns out that this is not the case, and the corpse here is not like this.

This is the only reasonable explanation now. As long as this is taken as the premise, everything will make sense.

All the way here, I was on guard against Lao Itch. I always thought that Lao Itch was plotting against me. So in my subconscious, Lao Itch was the final boss and the mastermind of the whole incident. So when I saw the mummy in amber, When I was looking at my face, I unknowingly used the image of Lao Itch. This face was the fear in my heart. My fear of Lao Itch's betrayal materialized in my subconscious.

But when did I encounter this bronze tree? Don't I always wear gloves? I raised my hands and looked inside the gloves, and couldn't help but scream. My gloves had been worn out by the branches of the bronze tree. I couldn't remember when they were broken.

Li Pipa's ancestor must have realized that after touching the bronze tree, he can have the "material" power like a god. He must also want to get this power, so he incited this group of people to come to this place.

Lao Itch has also been here once, and he also knows the existence of this power. So, now he still has that ability. When he went out last time, he must have relied on this power to get out of trouble, and at the same time he could It explained why there were such big carnivorous fish in the mine. When Lao Chi saw the water in the mine, his subconscious must have thought that there would be monsters in the water that would attack people. He was afraid of these, and his power made him The fear materialized, and *** was almost killed by a fish.

And when I wanted to go back along the original path, another fish appeared in the water and scared me back. This was definitely not a coincidence.

If my analysis is correct, then this is now a world where subconscious consciousness and reality are intertwined. In fact, what does the original shape of the bronze tree look like, and what is the scene like here?

I told Boss Wang my thoughts. After hearing this, Boss Wang seemed to suddenly remember something and said: "As you said, just now, when the two of us fell from the top, I was afraid that I would You attacked me sneakily and immediately ran to the center of the fog. At that time, I also saw these bronze chains. However, when I passed through the bronze chains, I did not fall. The ground was solid, but the second The last time I made a sneak attack on you, I missed it. There was already a hole underneath, as if the hole appeared out of thin air. "

I nodded. At that time, I really thought there should be a coffin well down here. Maybe it was because of this that the coffin well was created.

Those of us who climbed up have all touched the bronze tree. Many things, such as the monkey wearing a chigu mask and the holes on the rock wall, may be things that we have materialized ourselves. At this time, it is no longer possible to judge. Those things really exist, and those things are what we have realized.

This kind of power seems very good at first, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that it is inexplicably terrifying. People's thoughts are uncontrollable. For example, if you have this kind of power and you watch a horror movie, after watching it, Maybe you will find a corpse in a horror movie hanging from the ceiling fan behind you with blood dripping from it. For example, if you walk through a cemetery, maybe————

No, I couldn't think about these things anymore. I pinched my hand hard, otherwise something might happen.

Maybe people with psychological training can control this power to a certain extent. Wait, no, what subject did Lao Itch study in college? He showed me the hexagonal bell earrings during dinner, could it be that?

I suddenly thought of something, turned my head sharply, and stared at Boss Wang.
