Chapter 62 Mental Power Harvesting 3
Chapter Sixty-Two
After drawing the curtains, Lin Xia thought for a moment, then exchanged for 30 bottles of nutrient solution she had previously saved. She drank one bottle, then exchanged for a case of water, took out a bottle, drank most of it, and stored it all in her spatial storage.
When it was time to fill the water container, Lin Xia took the cup, filled it with water—just enough for one cup—and casually poured it into her spatial storage.
It was dark, and everything was as usual. The lights outside flickered, but it was completely quiet.
Lin Xia didn't lie down on the bed. She sat in a chair, pondering the world. Thirty years was enough for them to try countless methods. She was somewhat inclined to believe that mental strength might be able to fight against unknown enemies.
But she didn't want to be a guinea pig, having her mental abilities studied, and this method had likely already been tried before.
In any case, mental strength is definitely the key.
If the danger only comes at night, then one can only seek answers in nightmares.
She was used to using her mental energy to explore everything around her, but now that everything around her was unknown, she felt very uncomfortable. However, she dared not release her mental energy and had to figure out the situation first.
It's 8 PM, and the complete silence of the world makes her very uncomfortable. She opens her terminal and finds it equally lifeless, as if the world itself has died...
She opened the game panel and saw that the group chat was completely grayed out and could not be opened. The private chat was the same; they were not in the same game world and could not communicate.
It seems she'll need a long time before one of their attribute values reaches 100.
"Click." A few soft sounds, followed by footsteps and the sound of a door closing. These people entered the room next to hers. Lin Xia didn't take it to heart, after all, it's not strange to associate with neighbors.
But less than five minutes later, a wave of drowsiness washed over her, and Lin Xia perked up. Here it comes! She had been wondering why she could fall asleep on time when she knew she had nightmares, but it turned out she couldn't help it.
She slumped onto the table and fell into a deep sleep.
She stood in endless darkness, her whole body stiff and numb from head to toe.
The feeling was as if she suddenly regained consciousness in a dream, realizing that she was lying somewhere, but no matter which way she was, it was not safe, as if she would fall into an abyss if she moved.
Lin Xia felt this way at that moment. Even though she knew she was dreaming, she still felt cold sweat all over her body. After calming herself down, Lin Xia made herself composed.
It has to be said that this was indeed a nightmare that terrified me. This kind of pure darkness has always been something I fear. When you can only feel yourself and don't know what's in the endless darkness around you, the fear that grows in your heart can scare you to death.
Lin Xia's mental energy was stirring. She gathered it up, took a deep breath, and her eyes hardened. This was no ordinary nightmare; if she lost, she would lose her life.
This is my dream! Lin Xia told herself. She took a firm step, then another, her pace gradually quickening. She walked in the darkness, her fear slowly disappearing until she felt no fear at all.
Suddenly, her feet lost their footing, and she plummeted downwards. Her heart skipped a beat. If this were a normal dream, she would have woken up by now, but she was still falling, and the scene before her eyes kept changing.
As the endless darkness receded, sheer cliffs appeared before Lin Xia. Looking down, he saw a bottomless abyss.
"boom--"
A piercing pain struck her, and she felt as if she had been smashed to pieces. She felt as if she were dead, yet still alive. The pain of death lingered in her heart. In an instant, the scene before her changed, and she appeared in a dilapidated mountain village, wearing a bright red wedding dress.
Lin Xia gasped for breath, her whole body trembling. So this is what death feels like. She couldn't go on like this. Why couldn't she control her own dream?
Recalling her past experiences of controlling dreams while having lucid dreams, her mind became highly focused. Looking at her wedding dress, she thought about the form of a weapon. The weapon in her hand appeared and disappeared, then suddenly took shape, transforming into her usual longsword.
"Creak." The door opened.
Lin Xia was stunned when she saw who came in. Speechless, she realized it was her ex-boyfriend. She moved her hand but didn't strike. She wanted to see what else he had besides fear.
"Xia, we're getting married today. Are you happy?" The ex-boyfriend asked with a genuinely joyful smile.
Breaking up means becoming strangers, and meeting again means becoming strangers. Lin Xia felt nothing, and the two of them just stared at each other, their dream collapsing.
The scene shifts again; Lin Xia falls into the water. She tries to swim upwards, but suddenly her body becomes weak, her movements slow as if in slow motion. She sinks deeper and deeper, her lungs feeling like they're about to explode, an overwhelming sense of death engulfing her...
The feeling of suffocation and impending death triggered a mental impulse in Lin Xia, and she appeared on a boat on the water.
Lin Xia, soaking wet, had tense muscles; she had just used her mental power! But there was no change in her surroundings whatsoever.
Then, the scene changes again.
While dealing with the repeated scenes of death, Lin Xia pondered whether her mental power was undetected or simply undetectable in her dreams.
The next morning at 8 o'clock, Lin Xia woke up on time. She covered her groggy head, which ached a little. She picked up the nutrient solution on the table, drank one vial, glanced at the time, grabbed a cup, filled a glass with water from the sink, and gulped it down.
After putting the cup down, Lin Xia lay down on the floor and fell into a deep sleep.
When Lin Xia woke up, she shook her head, glanced at the time, and saw it was two o'clock in the afternoon. She sat on the ground with her head down. No wonder the whole city was so lifeless. After a whole night of this, who could stand it?
She opened her attribute panel and saw that she had 16,670 survival points. A voice in her mind told her that she needed to improve her mental strength as soon as possible in order to survive. She always trusted her intuition and was about to exchange for the points when she felt that she should not be too hasty.
I exchanged 30 points of mental strength and 30 points of physical constitution.
The same thing happened every day—the second, the third, and the fourth. She even dreamt of ghosts she feared, which tormented her so much that she was drowsy all day.
When Lin Xia woke up on the fifth day, she drank the last bottle of nutrient solution and planned to go out to buy some more.
Lin Xia, still hunched over and with her head down, slowly walked to the supermarket, bought 15 vials of nutrient solution, and then slowly walked back.
As soon as Lin Xia arrived at the 'Hive Apartment', the elevator doors opened, and she heard several people talking. When the word 'superpower' entered her ears, it was too late to retract her foot that had already stepped out.
The four people who were speaking looked at her warily. Lin Xia stepped out of the elevator and looked at the four people. The four people exchanged glances.
A young man who looked to be in his thirties had a cold expression. With a wave of his hand, a wind blade slashed towards Lin Xia, who dodged it instantly. The others looked at her in surprise.
"Are you a mutant?" the boy next to the young man asked in surprise.
Lin Xia was also surprised that they dared to use their superpowers here. Wouldn't they be discovered if they used their superpowers here?
What are you doing here?
Lin Xia pointed to the door. The four people exchanged glances, and several supernatural powers were launched at her. Lin Xia moved her feet slightly to dodge the supernatural powers, and kicked them one by one, turning them into a pile.
