116. Chapter 116 The Temptation of 116 Cups



When Xu Zhi set foot on this magical land again, his dusty memories were awakened.

She suddenly recalled that midnight was so similar to the dream she had entered when she upgraded.

The difference is that the forest in the big dream is white, and even the sky is pure and flawless white, without the sun or the moon.

Midnight is the night, and a pale full moon hangs in the sky, bringing a glimmer of light to the silent forest.

In addition, the forest at midnight has more "life" or is more real than the big dream.

Whether it was the damp soil on the ground, the smell of the soil, or the messy branches on the trees, they all looked more like things that would appear in reality than in a big dream.

However, even taking these into account, the two are still extremely similar.

"So, there should be some connection between midnight and the Great Dream?"

"Or were they once the same place?"

Xu Zhi made a random guess and then stopped.

Anyway, she knew that there was no point in guessing, so she might as well ask the narrator after she got out.

Unlike the last time when he held the lantern with the [Light] attribute, this time Xu Zhi felt uncomfortable as soon as he stepped into the midnight and came into contact with the mist spreading on the ground.

It wasn't physical discomfort, but more of a slight dizziness and nausea that came with some kind of mental pollution.

The degree is still very mild at the moment, but Xu Zhi can feel that this "pollution" is invading her spirit and soul all the time. The longer she stays, the more uncomfortable she will probably feel, until the pollution completely breaks through her defenses.

What happens then?

Xu Zhi didn't know and didn't want to know.

She just wanted to complete the mission she came in for as soon as possible.

Because, in addition to the mental pollution, she also sensed that in the dark of the midnight, there seemed to be several pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness peeping at her.

Maybe the [lamp] helped her block this kind of peeping last time, but the [moth] didn't have this effect.

And the [nightmare] did not appear before her.

Before she was about to enter midnight, she went to see the kitten. The kitten knew nothing and remained arrogant.

According to the narration, there is no connection between the kitten and its original body [Nightmare]. Xu Zhi was worried that he would be haunted by the [Nightmare] as soon as he came in, but now he is relieved.

Feeling the pollution that was always surrounding her and the prying eyes in the dark, Xu Zhi no longer stayed where she was, but chose to go deeper.

She actually didn't know where she was going, and the narrator didn't give her any more hints, only saying that she didn't know what she would encounter, but there must be a solution to the problem, and it depended on whether Xu Zhi could find it.

How is this different from looking for a needle in a haystack?

But Xu Zhi had to pick up this needle.

There was no way he could expect any hints at the moment, so Xu Zhi just randomly chose a direction and walked aimlessly.

Unlike when she chose to test herself in the big dream, this time, she chose to believe in her luck!

All adversities can be overcome by those with great luck!

Although he thought so in his heart, Xu Zhi still felt a little anxious as he walked on this path.

She didn't have much time and had to turn back halfway, but she had already walked for five or six minutes and hadn't seen a single ghost.

In addition to the increasingly heavy head and the mental pollution that I have to endure all the time.

Finally, when she silently counted to the eighth minute, a voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

It was like the voice of a ghost. Caught off guard, Xu Zhi got goose bumps all over his body from the sound next to his ear.

The voice asked, "Little girl, I see you seem to be looking for something. What are you looking for? Tell me and I will help you find it."

Bullshit!

This was Xu Zhi’s first reaction.

She turned her head to look to the side, but saw nothing.

"You're looking for me, you want to see me? Then turn off the light and we can meet."

What a joke.

Only a brainless fanatic would say such words!

Huh.

Could this thing also be a product of the [Cup] attribute?

This same empty brain

Xu Zhi didn't respond to it, but it didn't give up and continued to nag in Xu Zhi's ear: "You left in such a hurry, you must be looking for something. I've been here for a long time, I can help you."

At first, Xu Zhi firmly believed that this thing was talking nonsense, but as it kept chattering, coupled with the dizziness of mental pollution, for some reason, Xu Zhi suddenly thought, what if what it said was true?

Just as the other party spoke again: "I promise you, I never lie, come on, turn off the lights and follow me."

Xu Zhi actually had a vague urge to listen to its words. When her steps paused and her hand holding the lamp slightly raised, a glowing moth suddenly appeared in front of her gray eyes. The moth flapped its wings rapidly in front of the girl, as if calling her anxiously.

It was not until the moth's wings shattered and turned into a gray light spot falling from the sky that Xu Zhi suddenly woke up from his previous crazy state.

When Xu Zhi realized what she had just done, she felt a chill in her heart and could not help but feel scared. If the moth had not reminded her, she would probably...

Even though she was the strongest among human super beings, at midnight, she was nothing and pitifully weak.

"Damn moth!"

"Are you the one favored by the moth?"

There was a sound of giggling in the air.

"Yes, you do smell like a moth."

There seemed to be some doubt in the voice, and a hint of gnashing of teeth.

"You seem like a perfect match for the cup. Why not abandon that useless moth and throw yourself into our arms?"

It still didn't give up, but Xu Zhi had already remembered the feeling just now and didn't dare to listen to it anymore.

I just sighed in my heart, as expected, this idiot is also a believer of the Cup Sect. If it weren't for the [Moth] playing a role, it would definitely find out that there is something wrong with it.

Even though it didn't know it at this moment, it was tempting herself. The purpose of tempting herself was obvious: to kill her.

But what exactly is it, and why is it in the middle of the night?

These questions are unknown, and now is not the time to worry about them. When Xu Zhi was about to take a step forward, she suddenly realized a problem. She stopped and her heart turned cold.

Now, time. How much time has passed?

She had been counting the time silently in her heart since midnight, but just now, the interference of the cup made her lost for a moment.

Now, she couldn't tell how much time had passed!

How long had she been lost?

Just a few seconds?

Or a few minutes?

How much time does she have left to move forward?

Or maybe, she actually has no time left. Not only is it too late to move forward, it's even too late to go back.

She couldn't take any more risks, she had to return immediately.
