After I quit the team, they chased me

At that time, there must have been evil spirits.

Unfortunately, she couldn't remember anything.

Simon didn't ask any more questions because he felt the influence of some power.

Maybe this is the devil.

Simon looked at the book in his hand again. The book was real, and the encounter with the evil spirit just now was also real. He had experienced a life-and-death test, and fortunately he had survived it, so he was rewarded.

If it were in the game, this book in my hand could definitely be sold at a high price in the auction market.

After all, it's something from a mythical dungeon, so it can't be bad in any way.

Moreover, Simon had a new understanding of the runes that he didn't understand at first, when he looked at them again at this moment.

He opened the cover and read the contents inside, which talked about how to cultivate the magic energy in the air and how to use the magic energy to generate temperature to get through the cold night.

Oh, it was a cold night... He had almost forgotten about it.

Here, the night is dominated by evil spirits, and it is not safe for Simon to wander outside.

Judging from the encounter just now, this is the first round of evil invasion tonight.

I wonder if after enduring the first round of tests, there will be a second evil invasion tonight.

The so-called possession, is it that one gives a wrong answer and then is bewitched by evil spirits and becomes a demon?

Or has the cold corroded his brain, causing him to go insane?

While Simon was thinking about this, the girl next to him was already feeling cold and was rubbing her arms left and right to generate heat through friction.

"Let's go back to the mecha, it's cold outside." Simon said without thinking.

"Hey, well, I'll be fine outside. Ahhh, I have my own feet, put me down."

The furry fox girl was picked up by Simon and brought into the mecha.

Even though Simon is just a support, at his star level, the strength of his single arm is very strong, and it doesn't take much effort for him to lift a person.

Simon closed the hatch of the mecha and continued reading.

Mainly because he didn't know where to go.

If she went back to find a house to live in, it would definitely not work, because the demon hunting team might have set their sights on the girl's hometown.

After the girl entered the mecha, she looked around, feeling unsure. After worrying for a while, she found that Simon did not make any other moves, but was reading quietly. Only then did she feel relieved.

Simon doesn't seem to be a demon.

Simon had emphasized before that he was not a demon, and now hiding outside the city at night was a last resort.

But is it safe inside the mecha?

She remained vigilant and did not dare to practice and absorb the devil's energy, fearing that she would go astray.

However, things did not develop as she wished. As time went on, the cold gradually invaded the interior of the mecha. Even though the mecha had blue essence blocks as energy supply, the heat generated inside could not dispel the cold.

At this time, Simon noticed a point of knowledge mentioned in the guide. In the wild at night, one needs to use magic energy to light a warm lamp to warm the body.

After reading this sentence, an idea flashed through Simon's mind.

The danger comes from the "cold".

This "cold" was not ordinary cold. It ignored the mecha's heating system. Simon was even not sure whether it was the cold caused by the environment.

Simon glanced at the status bar of his adventurer system and stared at it for a while. When Simon himself felt very cold, a line of negative status BUFF appeared in the status bar, which read:

"Cold: You are abnormally cold."

Sure enough, Simon fell for it.

Since the mecha's heating is useless, cultivating the magic energy and igniting the magic energy to keep warm becomes the only way for normal people to survive.

However, Simon vaguely felt that this was a trap, a conspiracy of the evil demon. They calculated that he would cultivate the devil's essence, and then the evil demon would use this to invade and induce him to degenerate into becoming an evil demon.

Chapter 353 Cognitive Evolution

"It's so cold—" The girl shivered, a look of hesitation flashing across her face.

Obviously, she also realized the dangers of the wild.

If the warlock's power was not used, the two would have frozen to death in the wild.

This is not a joke. Almost every year there are warlocks who die of cold outside.

However, lighting the magic energy to keep warm in the wild at night is a very dangerous act. This action is like lighting a guiding light in the dark, attracting evil spirits in the shadows.

"Will lighting a fire definitely attract evil invasion?" Simon asked the animal-eared girl beside him while looking quickly.

She said without hesitation: "It is very likely that you will encounter it, but there are also warlocks who have successfully survived the erosion."

"Is it mental or physical damage?" Simon asked in detail.

“It should be spiritual.”

The fox girl carefully recalled the daily conversations of the old people in the town, and remembered some of the signs before a sorcerer turned into a demon, such as mental mania, disorder, and seeing incredible things.

At this moment, she also faces the risk of having to ignite the magic energy.

As the temperature began to drop, a light frost formed on the skin on my face.

She had no choice but to use the power of a sorcerer and perform the spell of burning magic energy.

This was also Simon's first time to see the skills of the local warlock up close.

I saw her chanting incantations in a mysterious way, refining the devil energy in her body. After some kind of magic circuit went through her body, an inexplicable feeling rose from her body.

Then the "demonic energy" that permeated the air began to vibrate, swirling around her, as if singing.

Simon listened carefully, but heard nothing.

Once he let down his guard and used his unconscious substitute to collect environmental sounds that normal humans could not hear, he heard a cryptic spell.

Since it was ambient sound and not a magic system composed of human language, Simon could not decipher it. He only felt that it was an extremely powerful spell that mobilized world-class rules.

Immediately afterwards, the demonic energy that had been cultivated in her body began to flow rapidly, and after a flash, her big white tail suddenly became shiny.

At this moment, Simon saw a ball of blue flame.

The flame lightly covers the surface of the tail. What is burning is not the tail, but the magic energy that is lost in the tail hair. This part of the magic energy belongs to the furry fox girl.

Just looking at this ball of green flame can warm your heart and dispel the chill in your body.

Simon thought to himself that with the help of the local sorcerer, he would be able to dispel the coldness without practicing magic.

But is that all?

There are still risks when a warlock uses the power of magic at night.

They have just encountered a strange evil demon. Will they encounter the evil demon again?

The book in Simon's hand was also secretly guiding Simon to cultivate the magic energy and ignite the magic energy to increase the temperature of the environment.

It feels fraudulent.

But it's unreasonable to ask her to cancel the burning.

Because Simon has already felt the particularity of the local rules, this severe cold is not a natural drop in temperature, but a direct manifestation of the rules, and it cannot be heated up through normal ignition.

And this is not a negative mechanism that can be perfectly shielded by sitting in a mecha.

"Mr. Simon, I, I feel them coming..."

The petite body of the furry fox girl suddenly began to tremble. The white hair on her head, which was originally soft, all exploded, and the flame of her big tail suddenly shot up several dozen centimeters, reaching the ceiling inside the mecha cabin.

"where is it?"

Simon glanced around coldly.

The space inside the mecha cabin is limited. Apart from being able to fit two people in, there is basically no extra space for additional people.

But what the girl saw could not be seen by Simon.

Simon's human spiritual sense was not aware of this. He just felt that the girl was overly nervous and had hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.

However, Simon knew that this was definitely not the case.

Has human spiritual perception become so useless here? I have no idea at all.

Simon's stand-in didn't feel anything either. At this time, Simon could only make his own judgment.

As the girl became more and more frightened, she even screamed and had a stress response, trying to attack with offensive skills.

How could Simon let her attack? You have to know that this is the interior of the mecha. Attacking the inside of the mecha is equivalent to destroying his big mecha. He can't just attack randomly.

Simon's mind moved, and the substitute behind him vaguely emerged, at least he had to steady her.

Simon was shocked to see an indescribable strange substitute possessing her, and his BOSS-level spiritual perception instantly received a large amount of fragmented inspiration information.

This is because while the Stand is possessed, he also feels the same way and is placed in the girl's sensory world.

Then, he saw the three evil demons again.

It was still the riverside beach, the endless grassland, the full moon hanging high in the sky, and three people gathered around the campfire, silently warming their hands by the fire.

One of the men in black robes invited the girl to come over for warming and hoped that she could provide some "help".

"Friend, we are running low on firewood. Can you lend us some magic energy to keep the fire going?"

"No, I don't want to lend it to you——"

The fox girl shouted nervously. She knew that demons were all liars. Once she had a relationship with a demon, the devil in her body would be polluted and then slowly transformed into a demon.

She won't be fooled.

The old people in the town all say that if you encounter an evil spirit, you should either run away or fight to the death.

As she began to chant the attack spell, Simon's double had already possessed her.

This time, the girl who was in the evil hallucination felt a familiar yet strange breath, which was Simon's breath.

She suddenly became a little sober. Wasn't she still inside the mecha? How did she run out?

When she wanted to look back, she couldn't move, and then she found that her body was controlled by Simon's stand-in.

Simon controlled the stand-in and felt two completely different tones.

On one side is the internal view of the mecha in the normal world, and on the other side is a quiet field, a bright campfire, and three men in black robes.

The two separate worlds look the same, but they are actually not the same world.

Could it be that this is the other world?

Simon's sudden flash of inspiration touched upon the secret of this world.

Sometimes, people cannot see evil spirits, perhaps it is because human cognitive abilities limit themselves.

As Simon had an epiphany on the spot, the stand-in updated his cognitive ability, and soon, the scene he saw suddenly became drastically different.

The three evil demons were standing in the fields of the other world, silent and waiting for the girl to speak.

Invisible terrors descended upon the girl's spiritual world, but for Simon, these terrors were not as great as he had imagined.

Because his stand saw three empty shells, and the soul that asked the question came from the burning magic energy, which was the magic flame ignited by the girl's big tail.

"Ok?"

The blue flame raised a soul-searching question. It felt that some strange changes had taken place in the girl, changes that were beyond the evil demon's cognition.

"Who are you?" the evil demon transformed from fire asked slowly.

Chapter 354 Return to the city

Simon was puzzled.

Isn't the location of the big tail flame exactly in reality?

Can't it see Simon?

Is it because of the substitute?

Simon's five-star skill substitute has multiple functions, almost integrating all the mechanisms into one, a complete mechanical monster.

When Simon possesses a friendly troop or himself, his presence can be reduced, making it difficult for the opposing enemy to tell whether he is there or not.
