In the small and dark basement, a thin ray of light shone on the woman like a revelation that penetrated the dark clouds.

The dust in the basement was mixed around the light column, like pale ash, rendering the deep and dead aura of ash. In Bai Xiao's vision, the only light seemed pale and mean, because it left a black and white realm line as sharp as a blade on the woman's withered body.

This is a weak woman on the "edge" like the light and shadow on her body.

This weakness has made her lose the luster that women should have and only barely maintain the outline of humanity. All the concepts of beauty and ugliness have lost their meaning under this outline.

Bai Xiao could see at a glance that the fire of her life was shaking, and at the same time, the fragments in her mind surged like storms and raging waves.

She should have an extremely outstanding face and is in the middle of countless lights.

She is Xu Bolian's mother.

A woman who gave birth to him and raised him in the slums, but unfortunately passed away when he was enlightened by the demon.

It was also a woman who affected Xu Bolian's life and completely distorted the life of this great master of the Demonic Way.

The surging memory made Bai Xiao confused for a moment, and in amazement, the world started to run.

When the woman saw Bai Xiao, she slowly turned her head. With her weak movements, the shadow spreading on her body began to squirm like countless dark crawlers, biting and sucking her vitality... Even if she tried her best, the thin woman could only barely touch the corner of her mouth and showed a tenacious smile.

"Are you back?"

Bai Xiao nodded subconsciously and responded vigorously: "I'll cook."

Afterwards, Bai Xiao followed the track of memory and flipped out a gray pocket in a small cabinet made of broken bricks and wood and stone, and then...

"mother?"

There should be half of the food left, and it is already empty.

The woman's smile also collapsed, and her hoarse voice was filled with strong self-blame and even humiliation: "Sorry, Black Dog and the others..."

"I got it, it's okay."

The memory of "Xu Bolian" did not allow his mother to continue talking, because it was self-evident.

Born in a slum, cheating is commonplace, and the weak have no right to survive... It is a good result to lose half a bag of food.

Xu Bolian did not blame his mother because it was meaningless to complain. On the contrary...

"You... aren't injured?"

Xu Bolian turned around and looked at the woman on the bed again. In the dark environment, he did not see any obvious wounds on his mother's body, but the group of black dogs were vicious and often the injuries could not be judged by the naked eye...

The woman shook her head: "Fortunately, they didn't make things difficult for me."

"Well, then I'll go find some more food." Xu Bolian was also very decisive and did not complain about the world, so he turned around and went out to think of new ways.

"Wait a minute, let me... see you."

Xu Bolian hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped to his mother's side.

A dry, thin hand gently stroked Xu Bolian's forehead, and the woman made a heartache voice: "Are you bullied by them again?"

At the same time, Bai Xiao felt a slight pain from the touch of the wound on his forehead... Obviously, although in the previous world, he shattered Xu Bailian's logic of despair with a sharp counterattack, in the new world, he still inherited the wound on Xu Bailian's body.

At the same time, it also inherits the complex feelings for the woman in front of you.

Bai Xiao couldn't tell why. When the previous world was crushed, he actually had the opportunity to break out of this illusion. At this time, Bai Xiao was not the Snow Mountain Wild Man who knew nothing about the magic at the beginning of the year. A year of hard study has made him worthy of the title of "excellent magic priest" in all aspects. Even when facing the magic master, when the other party showed such a huge flaw, he had enough ability to break free.

But at that moment he hesitated.

It is difficult to explain the reason, or whenever Bai Xiao subconsciously thinks, his instinct will prevent him from going deeper.

So he willingly stayed in the illusion and played the role of Xu Bolian.

Unlike the feeling of being forced to fill in before, in this world, Bai Xiao has enough dominance, and he can control the body in his memory at any time and do actions different from that in memory.

But when he looked at the weak woman, everything that followed seemed to be natural.

"I'm fine." He shook his head, allowing the dusty hair to cover the wound... But the dust entered the wound, causing even stronger pain.

Xu Bolian's physique is actually naturally sensitive to pain. Even if he is bullied in the slums, he still cannot get used to the pain. At this time, the wound on his head is at risk of infection and his whole body trembles.

The woman's eyes suddenly became depressed: "It's all for me..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Xu Bolian interrupted his mother's self-pity, reached out to wipe off the blood that was resurrected from his forehead, and grinned, "When I come back with the food, we will have a full meal!"

"but……"

"Believe me, it's just a little food, a small matter!" Xu Bolian patted his thin chest, but made a powerful sound.

The woman was stunned for a while, and touched the corner of her mouth again, but she showed a sincere smile.

"Yes, after all, you are his child..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Xiao felt a surging tide in his mind!

Hate, pain, inferiority, shame... All the negative emotions that humans have named for are coming, and under the huge emotional impact, even their vision is distorted. The woman in front of her no longer has a kind and friendly face. In a trance, Bai Xiao saw another face.

It was a young girl in her prime, in the golden age of her life, with shiny skin, plump body, thick hair and a sunny smile.

However, under the glorious appearance, a nervous and humble heart is clearly inhabited.

The girl's pupils clearly reflected the figure of a cheerful and generous young man, with a wide back, a thick chest, a strong body, and a sunny smile. The light was so brilliant that the girl dwarfed her and hid herself in the shadow.

Suddenly, Bai Xiao realized that it was "his" father.

And the moment this enlightenment arose, more black mud surged over and poured into my mind in an instant, rendering the shining young man into a ball of melting mud.

In Xu Bolian's impression, his father was such a thing as unworthy of being called a human being and sludge.

This strong emotional impulse once again stirred up in Bai Xiao’s heart like a sunken twilight clock, washing away all distracting thoughts, leaving only pure hatred.

Bai Xiao has never hated someone so purely... No, not never, on the contrary, this emotion is actually more like a resonance.

"Enough!"

With a roar, Bai Xiao interrupted the woman's whisper.

In the other party's surprised gaze, Bai Xiao turned around and left the narrow home without hesitation.

However, outside the door was a darker abyss.

The moment the door was closed, the world in front of Bai Xiao began to twist.

He saw more memory fragments, and the ridicule and even curse of the miscellaneous people echoed in his ears.

"A dog bastard whore..."

"I don't know the world is so powerful that I really think I am the daughter of a noble family? I still dream of having a prince and a noble family pick her up home?"

"If it weren't for giving birth to you, your mother wouldn't have fallen to this point..."

These sounds were entangled for a long time before they were gradually forced to be suppressed by Bai Xiao. He raised his head and the smelly and dark alley was still in front of him, without any change.

Bai Xiao stood in front of the door for a while, further calmed down his mood, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see……"

After all, he was a hunter born in the snow-capped mountains. His keen insight was an instinct rooted in the depths of his bone marrow. He had instinctively understood everything after being in the illusion for so long.

"Mother's love...is this my weakness?"

A person, calmly examines his weaknesses, is no less painful than scraping his bones to cure poison. When Bai Xiao had this idea, he felt that his heart was gnawing. Countless warnings from instinct prevent him from continuing to think, but he was not afraid and put all warnings aside.

"It turns out that I have a strange resonance with Xu Bolian in this regard. Is this a mistake he made? No, since he has weaknesses, it will be a matter of time before he is used. I am too careless. In fact, Bai Wuya's bastard has been using this a long time ago... But since he is here, why don't you continue to watch, what's going on with that woman?"

Just as he was thinking, Bai Xiao suddenly moved the whole world and shook another wave. The alley in front of him once again turned into pieces, falling like a waterfall.

"Come again?"

The last time the world was destroyed, it was because Bai Xiao destroyed Xu Bailian's confident and desperate logic network, but this time... Bai Xiao didn't feel that he had broken anything. On the contrary, he was almost completely dragged into the abyss by Xu Bailian because of his weakness.

"Is it a deeper sinking?"

Bai Xiao immediately became alert, but then he saw dazzling light.

It was completely different from the rotten light that filled the slums and the basement, full of vitality and hope.

That was what made him feel extremely familiar and intimate...the sunshine of Hongshan City.

However, seeing this familiar light, Bai Xiao's vigilance became even more intense.

Obviously, your illusion was forcibly broken by external forces, and the appearance of external forces mostly means...

The next moment, Bai Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly to adapt to the too strong light, and then saw everything around him clearly.

Zhu Junsi stood in the middle of the arena with a serious face, slowly lowering his right hand, as if he had cut off something.

Bai Xiao frowned and guessed the meaning of this action.

It was Zhu Junshen who intervened and forcibly broke the illusion? The test of the Holy Yuanren was over? Did I... lose?

At this moment, Bai Xiao did not have the confidence to win.

In the first world, he broke Xu Bolian's logical network with a tribal style counterattack, but in the second world, he not only did not break the deadlock, but was deeply trapped in it. If he only looked at it from the perspective of "test", he did lose, so...

But just as Bai Xiao pondered, he heard a meticulous moan.

His eyes passed by Zhu Junshen and came to Xu Bolian.

Then Bai Xiao was surprised to see that the master of the Demonic Taoism from Shengyuan had a real and veritable color! His body covered by his robe was squirming violently like boiling water!
