After hanging up the call, Xu Xin looked out of the window of the tree house.
The door of the Red Mist cabin was closed tightly, and Lou Feier seemed to have not come out yet.
Nothing will happen, right?
Xu Xin immediately swung down from the tree house, walked quickly to the side of the wooden house, and looked inside from the window.
Lou Feier was still sitting on the ground, leaning against the wooden wall of the cabin.
The bloodstains on her face had turned bright red, and they did not flicker like the Silver King's did. They were very stable, just like the two streaks of blood that had just been smeared on her face.
Her eyes were tightly closed, the corners of her eyes trembled slightly, and her brows were furrowed, as if she was experiencing a nightmare. With each breath, the red mist around her was inhaled again and again, and her body was trembling slightly.
It seems that she is no longer as comfortable as when she first entered, and now she even looks a little uncomfortable.
Besides, hadn't she stayed in there for too long?
This is much longer than the time the Silver King has stayed. The Silver King is a mid-level mutant creature. The fact that Lou Feier was directly contracted by him means she is at most a primary one!
Xu Xin immediately knocked on the glass window and shouted inside: "Hey, wake up, don't fall asleep in there, come out quickly!"
Hearing the knocking on the window and Xu Xin's reminder, Lou Feier responded.
Her tightly closed eyelids trembled at first, then she suddenly opened her eyes and looked straight at Xu Xin.
Those blood-red eyes that were so bright that they seemed to be glowing made Xu Xin feel a little nervous for some reason.
This feeling is like... like staring into the eyes of a giant anaconda in the center of the lake!
He put his hand on the backpack again, and was on full alert, ready to draw his halberd at any time.
But Lou Feier did not go berserk, nor did she do anything strange. Instead, she looked as if she had just woken up. Her expression immediately became somewhat doubtful and a little panicked.
"I... cough cough! I'll go out right now! cough..."
She would not disobey Xu Xin's words and was about to go out immediately, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was choked by the thick red mist, and her previous calmness was completely gone.
"Bang!" The door was pushed open directly, and Lou Feier rushed out from inside. The thick red mist instantly followed her and poured out from the wide-open door of the cabin.
Xu Xin covered his mouth and took a step back: "Close the door!"
"Oh oh... cough... okay!" Lou Feier's face turned red from choking, and she slapped the wooden door of the tree house.
"Bang!" The door was slammed shut, blocking the red mist that was trying to escape.
Lou Feier coughed for a while before gradually returning to normal.
"What's going on? Why are you choked by this red fog? Don't you like this red fog?" Xu Xin asked her with a frown.
Because she had stayed in the house for too long, her body seemed to have been infected by the thick red mist. Even after she came out, the smell still lingered on her body.
However, this smell is not a bad smell, but a light fragrance, the same as the smell when the red mist is thin.
But the taste left Xu Xin feeling uneasy, and he didn't like it.
"...I don't know either. After I was awakened by you, I was choked by the red mist as soon as I opened my mouth. Now I feel like I'm full. Even the most delicious food can't arouse my appetite." Lou Feier's expression at this moment was a little melancholy, and there was also a hint of... doubt, as if she had just experienced something that scared her.
"Waking up?" Xu Xin grasped the key point in her words and asked, "Were you asleep just now?"
"...Yeah." Lou Feier's gaze shifted slightly to the side.
Xu Xin looked at her now scarlet eyes and said, "Tell the truth."
Lou Feier gritted her teeth.
She shouldn't have had such a low-level reaction to lying, but the contract made her extremely opposed to lying to Xu Xin. However, she didn't want to share the strange thing she had just experienced with others. In her struggle, she revealed her true identity.
This matter was so strange that she had no idea how to explain it.
However, since Xu Xin had asked her to tell the truth, she had to tell it.
"...This red mist can cause hallucinations." Lou Feier took a deep breath and then told the truth, "I was immersed in an illusion just now. Although I knew it was fake, I didn't want to come out of it at all."
"Hallucination?" Xu Xin's heart skipped a beat. Could it really cause hallucinations?
He glanced at the cabin and continued, "What hallucination did you see?"
Lou Feier looked conflicted and asked in a low voice, "Can I not tell you? This is my privacy, I don't want to talk about it."
"Then I'm even more interested." Xu Xin naturally wanted to know all the information about this red fog, and immediately refused without any emotion.
"...You bastard!" Lou Feier was furious.
But she really had no way to refuse, so she could only start telling Xu Xin about the content of the hallucination.
It wasn't anything strange. Lou Feier just saw her family, their ordinary life, and her familiar room.
"What's so private about this?" Xu Xin was speechless.
Isn’t this what you dream about at night?
Lou Feier actually didn't want to talk about her family with others, but since it had already been mentioned, it didn't matter.
"No, it's not the same." She also frowned slightly. Under Xu Xin's gaze, the two blood lines on her face were slowly fading. "I feel that what I saw was an illusion, but it didn't seem like an illusion."
"What's the meaning?"
"Because this illusion is so real..." Lou Feier's eyes were a little hazy, just like when she first entered the cabin. "Everything at home, my parents, their habits, what they say, are so real, and, and..."
