Chapter 016: Mental Strangeness
Mo Xuanji's body was a little stiff, his mind was blank at this moment, and he couldn't even feel his heart beating.
The sky, the earth, and everything here are exactly the same as the doomsday scene that the system showed him a month ago.
Mo Xuanji never told the system that when he saw the doomsday scene, he felt boundless despair and sadness.
The intense emotions threatened to overwhelm him, and in his dreams, those images haunted him like a maggot. He woke from nightmares countless times, and eventually resorted to simply throwing his consciousness into Yuheng to avoid sleep.
After not dreaming about it for a while, Mo Xuanji thought it had faded over time. Unexpectedly, when she saw the scene again, she still felt that uncontrollable despair.
Mo Xuanji took a deep breath, managing to calm down a bit. Her mind was racing.
Why am I here? Where are my companions? What is this place?
Mo Xuanji looked at the strange detector on her waist. It seemed to have been on strike since she opened her eyes.
"Could it be an illusion?"
There must have been a second enemy on the roof at that time. They were probably just caught off guard.
Mo Xuanji looked at the charred corpse, hesitated for a moment, and decided to turn it over to take a look.
Most of the body was burnt, only the face was still intact, as if someone had deliberately handled it for him to see.
The corpse looked exactly like himself, and died in a miserable way. If it were someone else, they would have been frightened out of their wits by now.
Fortunately, Mo Xuanji, who had experienced the baptism of love from his seniors, had become immune to things that were exactly the same as his own.
Moreover, seeing the burn marks on the body, Mo Xuanji just felt a little funny. He would die, but he would definitely not die in the flames.
"He can peek into my innermost fears and manifest them, but he can't learn some of my secrets... It seems he doesn't know everything."
"What I see depends on what I fear most. All it can do is materialize it."
Mo Xuanji stood up, and suddenly, he heard a rustling sound behind him.
Mo Xuanji turned his head and saw a swarm of spiders cascading towards him like a flood, the entire land covered in a dense swarm of spiders. The enemy in the shadows seemed to be worried that he wouldn't have enough fun, so they thoughtfully upgraded the spider swarm.
Bigger in size and faster in speed, the max version of the spider group, the same model as Xingfu Community, will protect every goose bump of yours.
For the first time, a crack appeared on Mo Xuanji's calm expression. He turned and ran.
If it was something else, he could still grit his teeth and fight, but when it came to a group of spiders, he chose to run away.
The spiders were chasing closely behind.
As they ran farther and farther, Mo Xuanji felt something was wrong.
After he ran for a distance, the objects in the distance looked like computer graphics. No matter how far he ran, the distance seemed to remain unchanged.
He was running when he could see the ground ahead clearly and he braked suddenly. He kicked a piece of gravel, which rolled on the ground several times before falling to the ground. There was no echo for a long time.
There is a cliff ahead.
"It's like a nightmare," Mo Xuanji couldn't help but complain. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck his mind, and the scene from the day flashed through his mind like a movie rewind.
Every resident has dark circles under their eyes. The resident on the third floor complains that her child cries all day and refuses to sleep. And...
"...We were so scared that we couldn't sleep for days and nights. We had nightmares all night long, even during the day..."
Originally, Mo Xuanji thought that the residents' bad mental state was caused by the spider web sucking away their energy. Now it seems... if the second enemy was there from the beginning, it was most likely its work.
As expected, this is also Mo Xuanji's own nightmare.
"Is it a spiritual kind of weirdness?" After figuring this out, Mo Xuanji stopped running away. He took out a white feather from his pocket.
I had made this feather during the entrance exam. I had originally intended it to be used against the black-robed man, but after discovering that the black-robed man was actually Wilde in disguise, the feather became useless.
"You're in luck." Mo Xuanji threw the feather, imbued with supernatural powers. The moment it touched the spiders, the feather transformed into a blazing flame, instantly engulfing all the spiders.
Cracks appeared in the dream, and flames stained the edges of the fragments.
Soon, everything here was burned to ashes.
…
Outside, officials looked at the sealed entrance, at a loss. They had only one team inside when the entrance to the Ghost Domain was sealed and would not reopen. Further support was stuck outside.
This situation is very common. When the strange domain swallows enough people, it will be closed. It will only open again when the people inside die and the number of people drops to a certain number.
But the previous SS-level mysterious domain could clearly accommodate a hundred people.
"Why are so few people allowed in this time? There are only twelve people in a team, and they're facing an SS-level monster! There are even four students inside!"
"Calm down! Calm down! Director Liu! The research team is already working hard to crack it!"
"How can you expect me to calm down? Take the sixteen lives inside?!"
“…”
"Medical team, get ready! Team two, team three, team four... stand by."
"yes!"
…
The nightmare space crumbled inch by inch, and a crimson desert appeared before my eyes.
Is this the true appearance of the strange domain?
"Xuanji?"
Mo Xuanji turned around and saw Shen Liuxue holding a sword in her right hand and covering her lower abdomen with her left hand, and she walked over slowly. Her face was not very good.
"Are you hurt?"
Shen Liuxue nodded: "I was stabbed because I didn't check it for a moment. I didn't expect that the injuries I suffered in the nightmare would also be reflected in my body. Where is Chang'an?"
Mo Xuanji shook her head: "I just came out of a nightmare. I haven't met him yet."
"Okay, let's go find Chang'an."
The desert was boundless, with no end in sight. The crimson sand was scorching hot, and the heat distorted the surrounding scenery.
"What did you see in your nightmare?" Shen Liuxue took the initiative to speak, seemingly feeling bored.
"Spiders. I was being chased by spiders in my dream."
Shen Liuxue was a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to be afraid of spiders."
"Do I look like I'm not afraid of anything?" Mo Xuanji was a little helpless. He walked in front with his back to Shen Liuxue.
"Yeah, you look like you're not afraid of anything." Shen Liuxue lowered his head, half of his face hidden in the shadows.
"Liuxue, what did you see in your nightmare?"
"Nothing, nothing important."
