For two days in a row, Shen Zhiyi did not leave the house.

The star beasts did not appear in the past two days, which reassured Shen Zhiyi a lot.

She was worried that the star beasts, being clueless, would rush over as soon as they found her nebula.

However, the butterflies were getting a little anxious when they saw that the humans were staying inside the house and refusing to come out.

They haven't had a chance to feed on human blood in a long time, and if humans refuse to leave the house, they won't have a chance to do so.

So, one night, the butterflies devised a plan.

Shen Zhiyi was sleeping when she suddenly woke up and smelled a faint scent.

She frowned. Why did this smell feel a little strange? It was a bit sweet and cloying, making one want to immerse oneself in it.

The little dried fish sniffed in its sleep, as if it had also smelled the aroma.

Before even opening its eyes, it raised its head and took a deep sniff of the air.

A satisfied smile appeared on the leopard's face.

Shen Zhiyi quickly covered her nose and put the silly leopard, Little Fish, back into her pet space.

Black Wolf and Fox Moon also smelled the unusual scent and woke up.

Fox Moon transformed into human form and covered her nose. "This smell is way too sweet!"

The black wolf didn't make a sound, but it had already sensed that something was wrong.

Shen Zhiyi looked out the window: "It seems like those butterflies outside are behind this."

Shen Zhiyi rolled off the kang (a heated brick bed), turned on the light, and lifted a corner of the curtain.

Just as I leaned closer to look out the window, several butterflies suddenly swarmed around me.

He stared straight at her with those blood-red eyes.

Shen Zhiyi's pupils contracted, startled by the butterflies, and she abruptly pulled down the curtains.

Fox Moon noticed her movement, got off the kang (heated brick bed), and came over to ask, "What's wrong?"

"The butterflies outside are very strange, especially their blood-red eyes." Shen Zhiyi recalled the scene she had just witnessed; it was truly bizarre.

Fox Moon also lifted a corner of the curtain, and just like before, as soon as she leaned out to look outside, several butterflies immediately swarmed over as if they had smelled something.

Fortunately, Fox Moon had seen everything over the years and wasn't frightened by the butterfly's eyes.

Shen Zhiyi also came over.

The two of them squeezed into a corner of the window, observing what was happening outside.

The butterflies didn't leave; they just stared at the two of them.

Gradually, the butterfly became more and more arrogant, and right in front of the two of them, it began to emit that particularly sweet and cloying scent that they had just smelled.

A white ring gradually appeared around the butterfly; it must have been the scent they had just smelled.

The sweet scent wafted in again through the tiny crack in the window, and the two people and the beast quickly covered their noses.

Fox Moon lowered the curtains. "Why does this smell like a bewitching incense?"

"Not only is it cloyingly sweet, but just a whiff of it makes you feel lightheaded."

Shen Zhiyi rummaged through her backpack but couldn't find anything suitable to block out the smell.

"It seems that the butterflies are getting anxious because we haven't been going out."

Shen Zhiyi opened the panel. Although it was already two or three in the morning, the chat area was very lively.

Players noticed something was off about the butterflies and started sharing their findings in the chat group.

Shen Zhiyi glanced at the black wolf beside her, worried that its paws might not be able to cover its nose properly, so she also put it into the pet space.

"Damn, thank goodness, I'm usually a night owl, otherwise I would have fallen for this butterfly's trick."

"Me too. I was sleeping soundly, and then somehow I got out of bed. If I hadn't tripped over something in my room before I tidied up, I probably would have already opened the door and gone out."

“You guys are really lucky. One of my friends has already fallen for that butterfly's trick and is now dead.”

"Please explain in detail upstairs."

Even if the players don't ask, that person will still tell them.

“My friend risked his life to get his message out. He said something similar to the guy above, but he was unlucky and didn’t trip over anything and wake up.”

"Attracted by the sweet smell, I went outside. As soon as I opened the door, the butterflies swarmed around me and clung to my friend's bare skin."

"It bit through his skin and frantically sucked his blood. My friend was awakened by the pain, and knowing he wasn't going to survive, he sent the story to me."

After hearing what that person said, the players felt a chill run down their spines.

I never imagined that the creatures in the white mist would be so monstrous.

Not only did they know to hide themselves in the white fog and deceive humans into believing the fog was safe, but they also wanted to lure humans out to use that opportunity to kill them.

It still emits that sweet, cloying scent to lure people out of the house.

If players weren't so wary, many people would probably have suffered.

A small red dot was flashing at the top of the friends list. Shen Zhiyi clicked on it and found that it was a message from Sangsang and the others.

Sangsang: "Xingxing, I've been forgetting to give you a mask, but I just remembered. [Masks *10]"

Sangsang: "I just tried it on and found that this mask can block some of the smell."

Shen Zhiyi replied, "Okay, I understand, thank you Sangsang."

Sangsang: "No need to thank me! We're good friends!"

Shen Zhiyi's eyes darkened. After replying to Sangsang, she took the mask.

Qi Jing also sent a message.

Qi Jing: "Sister, those butterflies not only emit scents that attract humans, but it seems there's something else about them too. You should be careful."

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare!": "How about you? How's it going over there?"

Qi Jing: "I'm fine here, nothing's wrong."

Qi Jing lied. How could he be alright?

Qi Jing knew how to use Gu poison. When he went to the island earlier, he caught some insects and planned to refine them into Gu poison.

He finally managed to raise a few, but the smell emanating from the butterflies was so disgusting that it caused his Gu worms to go berserk and start killing each other. In the end, only one Gu worm remained, barely alive, and it seemed it wouldn't live much longer.

He himself was also affected; Qi Jing had two personalities.

Unfortunately, there were quite a few butterflies on his nebula, and the scent they emitted made it impossible for him to sense the presence of his primary personality.

The thought of the words he typed in the chat box with Shen Zhiyi when he first lost control made him want to get angry.

He was actually controlled by that scent, which made him use those words to hurt Shen Zhiyi.
