113. Choices in big dreams
The pure white forest was silent, and the straight black trees around it seemed to reach the sky, and in Xu Zhi's eyes at this time, a black tree that should be straight at all seemed to be bent around her when she was not paying attention, as if there was something in her body that attracted them.
The shadows of the trees followed her like maggots on tarsal bones, and the towering black trees twisted one by one, as if to form a large black bowl to hold her inside.
A layer of cold sweat surfaced on Xu Zhi's back, and for some reason, her subconscious told her: You can't be caught by them!
She involuntarily began to walk forward, thanks to the fact that she had just walked through a fork in the road when she left last time, so Xu Zhi did not have to face the problem of choice for the time being, her brain was still a little confused, her vision seemed to be limited to a very narrow range, and there was a layer of mist that she couldn't see clearly, when she wanted to look back to see if the shadows and trees behind her had followed, this usually simple action became difficult.
She needs to pay close attention to the road under her feet so that she does not fall, and when she runs, she can only hear her own footsteps and gasps, and even the danger is extremely quiet.
It was only soon that this short road came to an end, and she was once again faced with the choice of a fork in the road.
From the outside, there is no difference between the two roads, as if they are just a mirror image of one left and one right, and even the arrangement of the black trees on the road is almost the same, Xu Zhi stopped for a moment and froze in place, not knowing which road to choose.
He couldn't stay for too long, even if he only stopped for a few seconds, Xu Zhi felt like a man's back
But how does she choose which path is the "right" one?
By the way, what about moths?
Xu Zhi faintly remembered that at every moment of crisis, moths would appear to guide her to the right path.
If she wants to choose by herself, Xu Zhi doesn't know how to choose at all, these two roads look exactly the same, she can only bet, until the last critical moment, she doesn't want to bet on whether she can choose the right one.
Xu Zhi doesn't have the concept of "my luck is super invincible" now, and even if he does, he won't easily decide to bet on luck.
At the moment, the only solution in her mind is "moth", and gambling is the next step, but how did the moth appear?
She recalled, pondered, but her brain was a little dull, and she could only vaguely remember that the moth had appeared before when she was panicked or frightened.
She's flustered now, too!
What about other than that?
Did moths appear by accident?
By no means.
Xu Zhi had a hunch that the moth appeared for her, and she should carefully recall the situation at that time.
Obviously, there were countless black trees behind her that pressed over like a high wall toppling, and a large area of cold sweat had appeared on Xu Zhi's forehead, but she still stood in place and did not eagerly choose to "gamble", but carefully explored the memories in her mind, trying to find a trace of feasibility within the limit pressure range.
The hard work paid off, and when the pressure was extreme, her brain seemed to turn on a switch, and the fog that had been shrouded in her brain dissipated, and Xu Zhi instantly recalled everything about herself, and naturally knew how to summon the moth.
She didn't have time to think about it, because she could feel as if a pair of claws were about to grab her ankles behind her back, and she could only summon the moth immediately, and when the moth incited its wings to choose a path, it did not hesitate to rush towards that path.
There was wind flowing in the air, as if it was a breeze brought up by Xu Zhi when he ran wildly, as if it was the air flow instigated by "a certain being" behind her who could almost catch her, but let her escape at the last moment.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Xu Zhi even faintly noticed that his right foot and ankle were exuding pain as if they were burned by something.
Her heart was beating wildly for the first time in a long time, as if it had suffocated her as it had been in the past, and her scalp tightened slightly from the adrenaline rush, and she knew that if she had remembered it a second later, maybe she wouldn't be as intact as she is now.
The extreme choice, Xu Zhi even felt that she was making a choice that made no difference in following and betting on a path, but at that time she was betting on whether she could remember how to summon the moth.
The crisis faded a little, and it seemed that every time she walked through a fork in the road and found the right path, she would distance herself from the danger.
At this moment, the hot brain cooled slightly, and Xu Zhi realized that perhaps invisibly, she made a "correct" decision.
After all, her mind was clearer than ever at the moment, and if she hadn't taken the risk, she probably wouldn't have been sober.
Maybe that's the reward for making the right decision?
Or, did she choose to resist the pressure at that time and not choose randomly, but to think calmly and hard, so that she chose the "right path"?
It's not out of the question.
While thinking, Xu Zhi noticed that the pure white sky was becoming more and more dazzling, as if the invisible sun was getting closer and closer to her, Xu Zhi couldn't help squinting her eyes, and her vision became blurred, and when she felt that the light seemed to be slightly better and then opened her eyes, she suddenly found herself "back" in the room in the residential area.
She woke up from her dream.
This time, she no longer couldn't remember anything, but clearly remembered her memories after she "came to her senses".
Although the first half is still very vague, there is a clear memory of the second half, and Xu Zhi already understands what she experienced in the dream.
"So, every promotion is actually to go to that pure white forest to endure the test?"
Xu Zhi asked at the game console.
[No, the focus is on the road, not the test, which is only something that must be encountered when moving forward in the road. 】
Xu Zhi raised his eyebrows, a little as if he didn't understand: "So will the next test be similar to this?" ”
[No one knows what tests they will encounter, the dangers on the road are ever-changing, and it is best not to anticipate them. 】
[But the only thing that can be known is that each time will only be more dangerous than the last.] 】
[I can't predict the future, let alone spy on what will happen in my dreams, everything is up to you. 】
[Again, stay sane!] As long as you keep your sanity, I believe that any danger you encounter will be solved. 】
"Trust me so much?"
Xu Zhi was a little surprised, she vaguely remembered that when she started early, the narrator's attitude towards her was not necessarily very trusting, but more businesslike.
【. Not necessarily. 】
"Duplicity!"
[If you have time to follow me, you might as well go and check your harvest after this upgrade.] 】
As soon as the narrator's voice came out, Xu Zhi also sighed: "Also, I almost forgot." ”
As soon as he came out, he asked about the pure white forest in his dream, but he didn't have time to check his current extraordinary ability for the first time.
