After Zhong Lingfan left, Xu Zhi forged the lantern. After the materials were upgraded and increased, the forged lantern became more refined.
Due to the changes in the little alien, the lantern this time also changed to black and gold. It feels a little heavy in the hand, exuding a sense of simplicity and refinement. It does not look like an everyday item, but more like an ornament.
After making the lantern, Xu Zhi came to the little alien before sunset. He first interacted with it soothingly for a while, and then sat on its tall branch waiting for night to fall.
She took out her game console and asked the narrator, "Do you know what the Federation believers' plan is?"
I don’t know.
[But it won't be a good thing, so just be careful.]
[However, even if the entire federation is enveloped by a formation, as long as there is no formation in Cloud City, it will probably not be affected.]
"Even so, we can't just sit back and do nothing." Xu Zhi's tone was quite annoyed.
"That's true. I've already offended him, so I'll just destroy all the plans I can."
"Will it be useful?"
[I don’t know, but it’s better than just sitting there and waiting to die.]
"That's right." Xu Zhi sighed. If possible, she really didn't want to take care of those things. It was too troublesome.
It’s all the fault of the guy who caused all this. Now that he’s dead, he might as well die cleanly!
Why are you pretending to be dead?
"Old thing!"
Who are you scolding?
Xu Zhi was stunned: "Who are you scolding?"
【oh. 】
Seeing this, Xu Zhi suddenly realized something and laughed out loud: "Do you think I'm scolding you?"
"Calling you an old thing? So you really are?"
No, no, I don’t.
The narrator quickly denied it three times in a row, and Xu Zhi laughed even more happily when he saw it.
[Stop laughing and get down to business!]
"Hmm? What's the important matter?" Xu Zhi asked in a cheerful tone with the corners of his mouth still raised.
Although all the news known so far are bad, this does not affect Xu Zhi's ability to smile. Rather, even though she knows that the future will be difficult, Xu Zhi is still in a relaxed mood most of the time. Except for the times when she needs to be serious, she does not intend to make her life too miserable.
Anyway, we've tried our best, and if it still doesn't work after struggling, then let's just die together.
It's strange that although Xu Zhi has a strong desire to survive, she is not afraid of death, and even has a rather relaxed attitude.
If you can survive, try your best to survive. If you really can't survive, you will just die.
It seems a bit contradictory, but it is not a strange idea for Xu Zhi.
[After midnight, try to use the Secret Eye as little as possible.]
"Huh? I can't use it even though I'm already at level two?"
Yes, I'm afraid you'll see something you shouldn't see.
What's inside?
Xu Zhi became even more curious about this.
[Besides that, once you enter, you can only rely on yourself. This time you need to go deeper and will definitely encounter more things. You can respond to them, but be careful not to get lost.]
"knew."
These seem to be some commonplace questions, but the narrator's repeated warnings must have a purpose.
"Okay, it's almost time, let's go."
Xu Zhi nodded, jumped down from the branch, and walked to the roots of the little alien.
Countless huge roots gathered together and took root somewhere. At this moment, these roots moved slightly, leaving a narrow single-person passage for Xu Zhi.
The girl put on a black cloak, lit the blood-red lantern and roots, and entered the dangerous midnight.
When enveloped by the light of the [Cup], Xu Zhi felt waves of [Cup]-attributed aura lingering around her, making her unconsciously frown. An inexplicable restlessness rose from her heart, her courage and temper increased, while her wisdom and fear decreased.
Fortunately, Xu Zhi has now developed resistance to this influence and will not be affected in the short term.
As soon as she entered midnight, the temperature around her dropped sharply. She had never felt it so obviously before, but this time, as soon as she entered midnight, it was as if she had gone from a normal world to a cold world covered by ice and snow.
But the surroundings were still exactly the same as when she came last time, without any trace of ice or snow.
Xu Zhi did not stay, but hurried out with her head down. She did not forget the narrator's instructions.
As she moved forward, Xu Zhi could feel that she seemed to be passing by some huge creature. She did not look up, nor did she stop, but she just felt that there was something not far away from her side.
A cold and bloody aura was swirling around. Xu Zhi felt the hairs on her body stand up just by passing by it. She held the lantern tightly in her hand and kept moving forward, but she did not dare to show too much panic, and instead maintained a calm appearance.
The thing only moved when she passed by. Perhaps it only felt the breath of the [Cup] and didn't see anything, so it didn't pay much attention to it.
After walking a little further, the surroundings seemed to become "empty" and the dangerous aura disappeared. Just when Xu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief—
"What are you doing?"
A voice sounded from behind Xu Zhi.
Goosebumps instantly appeared on Xu Zhi's back. As the voice appeared, a cool breeze seemed to blow towards Xu Zhi, making her feel as if she was falling into an ice cellar.
She didn't dare look back, but just kept moving forward, holding the lantern tightly to maintain her sanity.
Fortunately, the light currently used was the [Cup] light, so she was not frightened even when a voice suddenly appeared behind her at a highly tense moment.
However, the [Cup] seems to have its disadvantages as well.
Seeing that Xu Zhi did not respond, the thing behind him took a few steps forward and moved closer. Xu Zhi could feel the cold breath getting closer and closer to him, and even "reached out" into the range of the light.
It doesn't seem to be burned by the light, is it because it is a [Cup] attribute light?
Xu Zhi immediately took out the [Light] attribute core and replaced it. At the moment the color of the light changed, a scream of pain came from behind him.
"You're going too far."
The voice behind me said so.
Xu Zhi was suddenly speechless, but after switching to the [Light] attribute light, the aura that had been lingering around her and affecting her disappeared, her mind became more active, and she suddenly felt that the voice behind her was somewhat familiar.
I seem to have heard it somewhere.
Where is it
I remember now.
I heard it at midnight!
"How dare you come here? Are you looking for something?"
This nagging personality is indeed the prototype of the black cat, or rather, the [nightmare].
"It's strange. You hid so well, but I only found you after smelling a familiar scent. How come you smell like me?"
The black cat rushed in front of Xu Zhi, tilted its head slightly, and asked with a puzzled look.
