Chapter 81 81. The Black Cat and the Woods
The black cat's voice did not sound very aggressive to Xu Zhi, which made Xu Zhi not in a hurry to leave here immediately.
After all, she invested ten high-level [Light] attribute cores!
The narrator did not forbid her from moving here, but only reminded her to remember to return the same way. So Xu Zhi first tried to walk forward a few steps, then looked back at the door to make sure that the door had not disappeared, and then decided to walk a little further.
She had only taken two steps when the black cat, who had been staring at her, suddenly said in her mind, "You want to go forward?"
"I advise you not to."
"It's very dangerous here."
"If something dangerous happens to be awake, you're screwed!"
"Why don't you stay here and play with me? I won't hurt you."
He talks a lot.
Xu Zhi did not respond, but just walked forward in silence. She did not walk fast. Firstly, she was not in a hurry to get on with her journey, and secondly, every time she walked a certain distance, the feeling of "danger" would sting her like a needle piercing her skin, reminding her that it was very dangerous here.
She walked for about two minutes, and the scenery around her didn't change at all. The black cat still followed her, turning into a puff of smoke from time to time, nagging Xu Zhi not to leave and to stay here to play with her.
Suddenly, it was silent for a few seconds, then smiled strangely: "I knew I wouldn't be the only one awake."
Xu Zhi really wanted to ask what it meant, but she couldn't ask.
After a few seconds, Xu Zhi's slow forward steps suddenly froze, because she saw a black shadow rushing towards her, but the moment it came into contact with the light, it quickly retreated as if burned. This process took no more than a second, and even she could not see clearly what it was.
"Eh, that's useless."
"Reckless. He just woke up and brought nothing back. He even lost his brain. He pounced on any living person he saw."
"Look, I told you it's dangerous here. This is just a fool who just woke up. If you meet some people who woke up early like me, they won't be as easy to talk to as I am."
"Why aren't you talking to me? Are you scared?"
Isn't this nonsense?!
However, this lantern is really useful, which makes Xu Zhi feel a little relaxed.
"Don't go any further in there. I don't want to see a living person die right after all the hard work."
The black cat's voice was a little strange. Xu Zhi felt as if she was in a dream. She clearly heard the other party's voice, but in the next moment she forgot what the voice was like. She only remembered the content of its words, not the specific sound.
It's like seeing someone's face in a dream, but having no memory of it when you wake up.
She is in this state now. She could hear the black cat's voice clearly in the previous second and thought that the voice was very special, but in the next second she couldn't remember how special it was.
She did stop, though.
It has taken her nearly five minutes to enter here. Although she spent part of the time standing still, there was really no time for her to go deeper.
What's more, that strong sense of crisis has been lingering in her heart. This feeling will become stronger with every step she takes, and she doesn't want to take the risk to go any deeper.
Xu Zhi looked around carefully again, and it was still the same as when she first came in. She couldn't even tell the difference between the entrance and here.
The shadow that attacked her only appeared for a second before disappearing completely, probably hiding.
Xu Zhi turned around helplessly and planned to leave.
"You finally listened. Are you planning to stay here and play with me?"
"The right choice. It's not a good place inside."
As Xu Zhi walked towards the door step by step, the black cat seemed to realize that she had no intention of staying to play with him.
"Where are you going?"
"Are you leaving?"
As soon as these two sentences came out, the hairs on Xu Zhi's back stood up instantly, and within the range visible to her naked eyes, the moonlight tilted rapidly, and even the shadows of the trees were instantly stretched, as if they had become evil spirits with bared fangs and claws, ready to attack.
This is not right.
"Where are you going?"
The black cat asked again.
Xu Zhi didn't dare to answer. She didn't hesitate and walked quickly towards the door.
"You have to stay with me." The black cat didn't make any sense. The moment the words fell, the shadow of a tree extended straight towards Xu Zhi's feet, but when it entered the range of the lantern light, the thick black shadow suddenly became thinner.
But it only became fainter and did not disappear completely. The moment the shadow touched Xu Zhi's feet, Xu Zhi's brain "buzzed" as if invaded by some evil thoughts. Her eyeballs trembled uncontrollably, and her forward steps seemed to be restrained and stopped, and she even had the intention of retreating.
But at this moment, the warm yellow light shone on her, dispelling the evil thoughts in her mind and allowing her to regain clarity for a short time.
Realizing that she had almost lost her self-awareness at that moment, Xu Zhi broke out in a cold sweat. She no longer wasted time and, while she was still clear-headed, she strode towards the door not far away.
The unwilling voice of the black cat emerged in her mind.
"If I weren't still weak, I would definitely be able to keep you."
"Why do you want to leave? Isn't it nice here?"
“A lot of people dream of coming here, so why would you leave now that you’re here?”
"Don't go. You will be my favorite toy. I can give you many things."
"What do you like? Bones? Offal? Limbs?"
Xu Zhi ignored this creepy attempt to keep him, firmly opened the door and prepared to leave.
At the moment when her figure was about to disappear, the black cat screamed and rushed into the range of the lantern. Xu Zhi didn't have time to check and directly closed the door and returned to the room.
There was nothing unusual in the room. The sense of danger had disappeared, and there was no extra black cat.
Xu Zhi hadn't experienced such a thrilling feeling in a long time. She was still a little shaken. She took out her game console and asked, "Did it follow me out?"
"The cat."
【It can't leave midnight for the time being.】
"Then why?"
Why do useless actions?
[Congratulations, you have successfully witnessed Midnight's true appearance. Apart from you, no one has ever survived Midnight since the Black Mist descended. You should be proud.]
Xu Zhi sighed, feeling a splitting headache coming on: "Thank you, but please don't say such things."
[Your mental depletion is quite severe. Don't try to get close to midnight for a while. You need to rest.]
She could feel that her mental state was indeed a little worrying.
"So, what did I gain?" she asked.
[New clan varieties, click on the page to see, you won't be disappointed. ]
