Chapter 80 80. Midnight
"Can the family members come with me?"
Xu Zhi felt somewhat insecure if she could only enter Midnight by herself.
[Just make sure they are within range of the light. ]
"Then the question is, how big is the range of this light?"
[Currently, your core can only provide light with a radius of one meter. 】
That’s it? ?
It seems that I can’t take Gouzi and Xiao Zhen with me, so I can only take Xiao Xizheng and Xiao Yi with me.
After all, the dog is already over one meter in size, and Xiao Zhen cannot reach any light when he flies into the sky. It is better to let the two of them stay at home peacefully.
"You stay at home and keep an eye on these two people."
When night came, Xu Zhi didn't plan to stay at home for the first time.
After explaining to the family members, she took out ten high-level cores with the [Lamp] attribute from the warehouse with some heartache.
There is a small box in the holder of the lantern that can be used to place the core. Xu Zhi only needs to pull it out, throw the core in, and then close it, and the lantern will light up.
Before she was about to go out, the narrator appeared and reminded:
[Don't use the Peeping Eye in the middle of the night. You will see things you shouldn't see, and you may be blind or lose your life! 】
【When encountering any situation, don't panic, don't talk to anything, don't answer all sounds, and don't run around. Remember the way you came, and return the same way before the light is about to run out! ]
"Got it."
Seeing the narrator's tone, Xu Zhi knew that this was a very serious warning. She didn't laugh about it, but responded seriously.
[Okay, let’s go. 】
Xu Zhi inexplicably read something like an elder from this sentence. She put the game console into her arms with a strange look on her face, and put ten high-level [Lamp] attribute cores into the lantern. After the light turned on, Xu Zhi For the time being, Zhi didn't notice any changes in herself, or any buffs she received. Perhaps she would have to wait until something happened to her before she would have more specific feelings.
She opened the door slightly, and the black mist spread along the open gap into the unlit room, avoiding the area illuminated by the lantern. Xu Zhi followed the open door and walked out of the house.
Before she went out, she made many assumptions about the midnight streets and fantasized about the "dangers" in them. The city was originally very gloomy during the day, and there was no light source at night. She might not be able to see her fingers, it was pitch black, and There might be strange light sources, such as the eyes of huge monsters, and there might be a lot of monsters wandering the streets that she hadn't seen before.
In short, Xu Zhi is full of fantasies about midnight, but they are all things he has seen more or less in fantasy works before.
But when she actually stepped into it, she realized that it was not what she imagined.
She first smelled the smell of dirt, but the roads here were all cement, where did the dirt come from?
Then she saw a strange scene in front of her. It was just a door, and she seemed to have stepped from the city into a strange forest.
A pale full moon hangs high in the sky, and countless dark and straight trees of unknown species rise into the sky, standing like blades in the forest. There are no extra branches, only sharp trunks, giving people endless excitement. The feeling of depression and crampedness makes people want to lower their heads, and their eyes involuntarily avoid these trees.
The only light source was abnormally white, and the ground was also filled with a layer of mist. The shadow of the tree was darker than the tree itself, and was as thick as ink poured on the ground. Xu Zhi, who had not been here, felt that this place was familiar, but What's more, it's the uneasiness and panic that spreads from the bottom of my heart.
She felt very dangerous, but she didn't know where the danger came from. It was like, staying here, there was danger from all directions and even in every crevice, so she had no way of judging where the danger came from.
This place gave her a paradoxical feeling. She always felt that she had been here before, but she felt that this was not where she came.
Xu Zhi turned around and looked around. Yuncheng had disappeared, and all that was left was a door standing in the air behind him.
She was slightly relieved that the door was still there, but the moment she turned back, a black figure seemed to flash past the edge of her vision, like the shadow of a tree moving suddenly.
But, how could it be?
There is no wind at all, and these trees are as motionless as if they were made of steel. Xu Zhi looked around with vigilance. The surroundings were still as quiet as before, without any movement, except for the mist slowly flowing on the ground, but she always felt uneasy, like a light on her back.
Suddenly, there was some slight noise in the forest.
Xu Zhi immediately looked in that direction, his eyes alert, holding the knife behind his back, remembering the narrator's reminder and not using the [Peeping Eye], but this was somewhat too passive.
After a few slight noises, Xu Zhi thought some monster would appear, but
a pure black cat walked out from behind the tree.
It looks very normal, even a little petite in size, and looks like a kitten about three months old.
It looked at Xu Zhi curiously with its emerald-like eyes, and then jumped forward.
At the moment of leaping up, the body turned into a burst of smoke, and then solidified into a black cat when it landed. The whole process was light and elegant, like a dream.
Xu Zhi suddenly felt dizzy after staring at it for a while. She quickly moved her eyes away and resisted the dizziness without closing her eyes. Instead, she stood straight on the spot. You know, she could hardly control it. I feel like falling down.
The feeling of dizziness was so strong that Xu Zhi could not even think about anything else for a short period of time except to fight against this feeling with all his strength. Fortunately, soon, this feeling gradually subsided.
She thought that maybe the light also played a certain role. Without this light, she might not be able to hold on.
"Huh."
A clear voice of doubt rang in Xu Zhi's mind. She was so startled by the sudden voice that she stood on her back and her hair became numb.
Where did the sound come from?
Why did it appear directly in her mind?
Moreover, the age cannot be heard, and even the gender cannot be distinguished.
"A living person?"
"How did a living person come here?"
Two consecutive questions appeared in Xu Zhi's mind without any reason.
She couldn't help but make a bold guess. Could it be that the black cat made this sound?
Xu Zhi remembered the narrator's warning: Don't answer any voice.
She was obedient and ignored the question that suddenly appeared in her mind.
Seeing that she didn't reply, the owner of the voice was not angry, and was even interested: "How did you get in?" "
You can't speak?"
"Do you know where this place is?"
"Human, how long do I have? Have you never seen a human before?"
"You look delicious, why haven't you been eaten?"
"It's okay if you haven't been eaten, you can still play with me for a while."
He babbled, talking to himself, wandering Light footsteps beside Xu Zhi.
Co-author, is this still a chatterbox?
