Guardian of the Spirit

Suddenly, the darkness in front was like a piece of black cloth, which began to twist and fold inward, forming a funnel-shaped channel. The light ball drilled out of the funnel channel and appeared in front of Ji Lingxi.

The moment the light ball appeared, the two quarrels disappeared without a trace.

The light ball paused for a moment and transformed into a petite figure. Then, the figure gradually solidified. From the appearance point of view, it was very similar to an ordinary human being.

The hair is like a staff, and the slender arms are connected with the oval palm to form the shape of a quarter note.

It has a gemstone on its forehead and a black headdress like a treble clef. It looks like the structure of two treble clefs stacked together to form a wireless microphone similar to that commonly used by singers.

This petite elf looks like a professional singer.

It floats in the air. It looks like a modern outfit, but it exudes an extremely ancient aura, as if it comes from ancient times.

If Jiang Yuan were here, he would definitely recognize this illusory elf, Meloetta.

Meloetta looked around at the dark surroundings and conveyed what she wanted to say directly into Ji Lingxi's heart: "I'm sorry, I'm undoubtedly prying into your heart."

Ji Lingxi looked at Meloetta, slowly lowered her arms, and said nothing.

"The breaths are too similar. I would like to ask you, what is your relationship with Rui'er?" Meloetta asked.

Ji Lingxi did not answer, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

But Meloetta didn't feel embarrassed. It looked at Ji Lingxi carefully, and after confirming its suspicion, it said: "I hope you can help me wake up completely. In exchange, I will do my best to help you accomplish what you want to do."

."

"You can't do it, you can't save him."

Ji Lingxi did not agree and turned around to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Meloetta flew in front of Ji Lingxi and stopped her: "Apart from this wish, do you have no other wish?"

"No."

"Don't you live for yourself?"

"What does it mean to be alive?"

Meloetta looked confused: "..."

Then what are you doing alive?

Seeing that Ji Lingxi was about to leave, Meloetta said hurriedly: "Would you like to see another world? Maybe you can find a way to save your life in another world."

"Another world?" Ji Lingxi paused.

"Come with me."

Meloetta breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she could keep the person, everything would be easy.

Meloetta stretched out her hand and tapped the void, and a crack suddenly opened in the sky, and dazzling light shone in from the other side of the crack.

Meloetta took Ji Lingxi's consciousness through the crack and came to a pedestrian bridge. In just a moment, they arrived in the modern city.

Under the overpass is a constant flow of vehicles, and on the overpass are office workers and students carrying schoolbags in a hurry. Some of them are rushing to work, and some are going to school.

"Can you find any difference in this world?"

Ji Lingxi glanced at Meloetta without saying a word.

"I'm not going to talk in circles with you anymore, look."

Seeing Ji Lingxi's appearance, Meloetta was afraid that Ji Lingxi would leave, so she reached out and transformed into a smartphone and handed the phone to Ji Lingxi.

"game?"

This time, before Meloetta could speak, Ji Lingxi spoke first.

The interface of the mobile phone is impressively filled with Pokémon games, Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, etc. When you slide the phone, you can even see a series of animations about the dream of breaking out of the shell.

Ji Lingxi stared at the screen of her mobile phone, with a strange expression on her eyes behind the lenses.

"Look, this thing called a mobile phone is so weird. It actually recorded such detailed information about me. I almost thought I was an elf in the game."

Meloetta held the other transformed mobile phone and looked at the various information on it, amazed.

Ji Lingxi raised her head.

Why has the tone changed?

Meloetta turned around in the air and explained: "Don't mind, since that war, I have been seriously injured and have been asleep for nearly two thousand years. My understanding of the world is still two thousand years ago. It is inevitable that my speech and behavior will be different.

A bit more old-fashioned.”

"Seeing so many novel things, I accepted some new cultures, and my tone of voice also changed specially. If you modern people can understand it, I don't want to be a country bumpkin who has never seen the world."

"I didn't expect that the world has changed so much. I just took a cursory glance and found that today's culture is quite interesting."

"Of course, the really interesting thing is this person. The last thing he wants to see is this weird world where there are no elves and elves only exist in games."

Meloetta's little face was filled with confusion.

Its singing can arouse people's emotions, and the illusion that everyone falls into is actually guided by their own negative emotions.

Everyone has more or less things in their heart that they don't want to face or happen. Under the deliberate guidance of Meloetta's singing, people who fall into the illusion will see the things they least want to see.

Just like Ji Lingxi, the last thing she wanted to see was the quarrel between the two people.

"Arzeus, the god of creation, owns seventeen stone tablets."

"The God of the World, Dialga, the God of Space, Palkia."

"Meloetta, singing form and dance form."

Ji Lingxi carefully checked the information on all the elves in the game.

"It's really weird. How did he know? The illusion guided by my singing is based on reality. If he didn't know this information, it would be impossible to show it."

"But where did he get my detailed information? Even the Appearance Mirror knows it, King Phoenix, and Celebi. The key is, this information is true, it's all true!"

Meloetta felt that her brain was not enough.

Didn't it just sleep for two thousand years? Why did the world become like this?

It can barely accept modern technological culture, but it turns elves into a game, and the parts of the game it knows are all true. What kind of international joke is this?

How outrageous!

"Look, the owner of this illusion is here." Meloetta suddenly said.

Ji Lingxi looked over and saw a slightly familiar young man walking from the other side of the overpass.

"Jiang Yuan." Ji Lingxi thought.

The Jiang Yuan in the fantasy was almost the same as the Jiang Yuan she knew in reality, not much changed.

His appearance is the same as before, but he is much older, possibly because he has lost his superpowers, and his temperament is not as good as in reality.

"When can I leave this illusion? It really hurts my head." Jiang Yuan complained as he walked on the overpass, looking at the vehicles below.

He has been living in this illusion for ten years, yes, a full ten years.

Although the time ratio in the illusion is different from the time ratio in the real world outside, and his body does not age and die in reality, the passage of time experienced in the illusion is not fake.

All of this is very real. As the days go by, Jiang Yuan is afraid that one day in the future, he will forget the fact that he is trapped in an illusion and will be trapped in it forever.
