I loaded the dream game

But if we do this, we’ll have to wait until night.

After all, people are born with a fear of darkness and hidden things. If you want a game like this to have enough atmosphere, a dark night is naturally the best choice.

So Xia Zhi decided to move the sun to the western hemisphere and adjust the time directly to night.

...Just kidding, with such free time, of course he would take a shower first, then have a good sleep and make up for everything he owed yesterday.

Ai Luke raised her hand to indicate that she could be a sleeping companion... She had great experience in taking naps. She also had a great sleeping posture and could sleep through the night until tomorrow, which would definitely not affect Xia Zhi's normal sleep.

Just like that, relying on her many advantages, the Star God Girl successfully competed for the opportunity to be the Summer Solstice pillow... In fact, not many people competed with her. After all, not everyone could sleep without getting up like her.

With such a pillow that was extremely soft and felt great, Xia Zhi's sleep quality could be said to be quite good. When he woke up again, it was already dusk.

Generally speaking, the venue for the test of courage is usually chosen in cemeteries, shrines, forests, ruins and other places that exude a terrifying atmosphere. And it just so happens that there is a forest on the mountain behind a shrine here.

"Speaking of which, Cong Yu..." Arriving at the foot of the back mountain on the outskirts of Xiao360 Town, Xia Zhi looked up at the mountain forest that he had once razed to the ground, and said to the ghost girl beside him.

"Huh? What's wrong, master?" Cong Yu looked at him puzzledly.

"Do you know what the test of courage conference usually includes?"

"This... should be something like scaring each other?" Cong Yu answered uncertainly.

Looks like he knows nothing...

Come to think of it, after all, he "died" at a young age, and after becoming the manager of the Divine Sword, he seldom came into contact with other people. It is normal that he doesn't know much about this aspect.

Come to think of it, even this game itself seemed to be something she had heard of.

Xia Zhi thought about it, and after considering his words, he said, "Generally speaking, the most common thing people use to scare people in this kind of game is ghosts."

Ghost?

The expression on Cong Yu's face suddenly froze.

"What else do you think you were trying?"

The girl couldn't help but fall silent.

"……Owner."

After a long time, Cong Yu raised her head again, looked at him hesitantly and said:

"How about we go back?"

.......

Chapter 714: No one seems to be worry-free

Once upon a time, this forest was cursed by an evil spirit. Many people had died here over the centuries. It could be said that it was a very dangerous area.

However, after being washed and purified by Xia Zhi's saturated massive divine power, this place has become a field similar to a sanctuary. Even the land is permeated with a sacred aura. Not to mention ghosts, even some powerful monsters with physical bodies probably don't dare to approach.

However, in order to create a sufficient atmosphere, when Xia Zhi explained to the girls what had happened on this land in the past, he did not mention the fact that the curse had actually been eliminated by himself, and he even added some of his own personal opinions.

It just seems that, except Cong Yu, no one seems to take it seriously.

There was a slight pulling feeling at the corner of her clothes. Xia Zhi lowered her head and saw the black-haired girl holding her clothes tightly. Her face looked a little pale.

...Okay, there's also Xiao Xiazhi.

According to the general game mode of the test of courage competition, the participants are usually divided into two groups of two to four people. During the game, one group will try every means to scare the other group.

However, Xia Zhi did not adopt such a model this time. Instead, he adopted the method of having one person enter from different starting points, and the person who successfully completed a circle and came back would be the winner.

As for the job of scaring people, of course it was left to him.

Don't forget, in this copy he has the assistance of special effects provided by the dream game.

Although it can't play any substantial role, it is definitely enough to scare people.

So, during Xia Zhi's attempt, the already eerie forest was covered with a layer of vague black fog, which made it look even more eerie.

He felt the pulling sensation at the corner of his clothes again. Xia Zhi lowered his head and saw Cong Yu also tightly grasping the other side of his clothes.

Is this... a bit too much?

Although she was very nervous, Cong Yu finally overcame her fear and did not quit halfway... After all, it was she who proposed this game, and it would feel a bit bad to quit before it even started.

only……

"Owner!"

Less than two minutes after the game started, the ghost girl floated out from the forest and threw herself into Xia Zhi's arms.

You didn't hang around in there for long, did you? Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

"There really is a ghost!" Cong Yu explained anxiously with a pale face.

Of course, otherwise do you think my special effects are just for show? Xia Zhi thought.

Speaking of...

He lowered his head and looked at Cong Yu who was hugging him tightly and didn't want to let go. He noticed that her clothes had changed back to her original style, not the regular clothes he helped her change into this morning. He also remembered that she seemed to have floated out of it just now...

"Where is your body?" Xia Zhi asked.

Ah, this...

The expression on Cong Yu's face froze.

……

In the forest, Xia Zhi was walking carelessly with a flashlight.

Although everyone was separated, the forest looked very eerie, with strange phosphorescent lights and shadows passing by on the roadside from time to time, but she did not feel the slightest fear in her heart.

It’s not that she is very brave, but she knows that with her brother around, she will definitely not be harmed... Isn’t there a saying that goes, those who are favored are always fearless?

Maybe this is a bit off the mark, but there's nothing she can do about it; this is also her advantage.

While Xia Zhi was thinking this, she heard a faint noise coming from the woods not far away, and it sounded like something fell to the ground.

She thought about it and walked towards the direction of the sound curiously.

Then, looking at the girl with long emerald green hair lying on the ground, motionless as if dead, illuminated by the flashlight, she couldn't help but fall silent.

……

"elder brother!"

A few minutes later, Xia Zhi came out of the forest holding the girl's body, returned to the boy, looked at him and asked worriedly:

"Xiao Congyu, seems to be frightened to death...Do we need to call an ambulance?"

Xia Zhi thought, if he was really scared to death, wouldn’t it be too late to call an ambulance at this time?

"I, I wasn't scared to death!" Cong Yu explained with red cheeks.

"I... was just a little excited, that's all."

Isn't it common for the soul and body to be completely separated due to emotional excitement? The master can also testify to this.

Cong Yu argued in his heart and secretly glanced at "himself" in the girl's arms, not sure whether he should go back at this time.

Fortunately, after a few minutes, Ai Luke, who seemed to be lost, wandered around in the forest twice and successfully returned to the starting point. He walked out of the forest, easing Cong Yu's embarrassment.

Seeing the people at the entrance, Ai Luke showed a puzzled expression on his face.

"Xia Zhi, did Ai Lu succeed?" She ran to Xia Zhi, looked at him expectantly and asked.

Obviously, she didn't realize that she was lost as soon as she entered.

According to the rules, Xia Zhi and Ai Lu Ke, who turned back halfway, were naturally judged to have failed.

……

In the forest, Irena was walking on a small path in the woods. She hadn't walked for long when she felt her legs starting to ache.

Originally, she wanted to ride on the broom directly at the beginning, but was stopped in time by Xia Zhi.

So, do I have to walk around and get back?

So complicated……

Irena thought to herself.

You know, although the "Pseudo-Cosmic" can theoretically repair all fatigue and injuries, some psychological feelings remain... Her legs are still a little weak now.

That guy doesn't know how to be considerate of others at all.

The girl complained in her heart.

Is there any simpler way?

She thought about it and seemed to have come up with a good idea.

Irena took out her magic wand and pointed it at the mountain in front of her.

As the saying goes, the shortest distance between two points is a line segment. If there is no road, can't you just build one yourself?

"." Avatar hole open!" She casually said the words she learned from TV some time ago and waved her wand

The next moment, it was as if an invisible impact came out from the front end of the magic wand in her hand, instantly penetrating the entire mountain in front of her, forming a straight, narrow and deep tunnel that was wide enough for one person to pass through.

In order to prevent the tunnel from collapsing midway, Irena used magic to reinforce the inner wall.

After doing all this, she nodded with satisfaction.

This way, you don't have to go around in a big circle and come back.

As expected of me, I can come up with such a genius idea.

Irena thought to herself, put away her wand, and walked towards the tunnel that had just been completed.

However, before she stepped into the tunnel, a red translucent cross appeared out of nowhere, blocking her way like a barrier.

At the same time, a light blue light appeared under her feet.

"...Huh?" Irena was slightly stunned.

The next moment, before she could react, she felt a strong sense of weightlessness.

When she came to her senses, she found that she was back to the starting point.

"...Win directly?" She tilted her head slightly.

"You're out for violating the rules!" Xia Zhi said, tapping her head lightly.

We have already agreed not to use supernatural powers. Could it be that this guy was completely distracted when he was explaining the rules? He thought to himself.

As a result, apart from Hubie who was waiting there with himself as the referee, only Xiao Xiazhi had not come out yet.

In other words, can we basically determine that she won?

Xia Zhi turned around and looked at the dark forest shrouded in darkness. He didn't expect that Xiao Xia Zhi could hold on for so long in such an environment.

Although it's not that scary, the atmosphere is still right... She seemed quite scared at first, but now it seems that she is unexpectedly bolder than I thought?

Xia Zhi thought so in his heart.

However, the situation on Xiao Xiazhi's side at the moment was actually a little different from what he thought.

Simply put...she was lost.

Chapter 715 "You are the best gift God has given me"

Where...is this?

Looking at the road in front of her that seemed strange yet familiar, Xiao Xiazhi's eyes showed some confusion.

She felt as if she had walked this road before, but she didn't have a deep impression.

I can't find the exit no matter what I do, I keep walking on the same road over and over again

So, this is... a ghost wall?

She thought to herself and couldn't help shivering.

The surrounding environment was very quiet, and the whispers that had been lingering in my ears seemed to have disappeared. The environment was also pitch black and I couldn't see the road I came from.
