Even if she couldn't confirm where it was from any location or landmark, Xu Zhi just had an intuition.

She's back.

Back to where we started.

But why did she come back here?

Is she going the wrong way?

Xu Zhi subconsciously denied this idea.

There is nothing to call it a "road" here, every step of her is groping for her own way, and she doesn't know what her path is ahead, only when she gets the lantern, a little surprise rises in her heart.

But there was no end to the road, and when she reached the cabin, she stopped, and when she entered the cabin, she returned to the starting point.

Xu Zhi stood in place, her fluttering brain seemed to gradually fall, she thought for a long time, and finally made a decision.

Retrace this path.

But this time it's going to be more careful and careful.

The moment she made this decision, the dense fog around her suddenly rolled and rolled around, gradually giving way to a muddy path, and that road was the same road that Xu Zhi had walked before.

It's just that the road has become longer.

And, when the fog cleared, her lantern was quietly placed on the side of the road, within easy reach of her.

Xu Zhi did not hesitate, bent down to pick up the lamp, and then walked on the road again.

She didn't think she was on the wrong track, but she had to do it again.

When she took the first step, a completely different feeling came over her, and it seemed to be. Gravity is different?

She could no longer walk as easily and briskly as she had before, and her body began to become heavy, as if some kind of restriction that had protected her before had disappeared.

With every step, her physical strength was exponentially depleted, and there seemed to be a silent temptation behind her to turn back, give up this uncertain and difficult road, and choose an easier path again.

Her talent, if she chooses any other path, she will take it easier than ordinary people, so why choose the most difficult one?

Xu Zhi didn't look back, not even hesitate, because she was convinced of herself, there was nothing more suitable for her than the path she was taking now, she didn't need to turn back, and she didn't need to choose an easier path, no matter how difficult and difficult the road ahead was, it couldn't make her waver in her choice.

Xu Zhi would never regret the choice he made, even if it was wrong.

What's more, she never thinks she's done wrong.

The sound of temptation behind him did not stop, and the road ahead became more difficult with each step, but Xu Zhi did not stop, just clutched the lantern in his hand, and unswervingly walked towards the wooden house farther away than the last time.

One hundred steps, two hundred steps, three hundred steps.

Suddenly it began to rain in the sky, and the cold began to invade the girl's body, and the ground wet by the rain became even more muddy.

Three hundred and sixty-two steps, the last time there was a wooden house, but now, she was only halfway there.

There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky, but the thunder seemed to hesitate, and refused to fall, as if it could not find its target.

The surroundings had not become clear because of the rain, and the dense fog still obscured the vision left and right, and Xu Zhi could only see the road he had already walked.

She didn't stop, and continued to walk forward, the thunder seemed to be getting louder and louder, as if it was a warning, which reminded Xu Zhi of the day she left the Federation, such thunder seemed to be somewhat similar to that day, but it was not the same.

If I had to say, the faint thunder that kept coming from the sky was more oppressive than the day of the Federation.

The thunder of the Federation that day, although it was indeed very powerful, lacked spirituality, as if it was just a punishment tool, but at this moment, the thunder above her head seemed to have some kind of spirituality.

Xu Zhi ignored the thunder that seemed to be about to fall above his head, and continued to move towards the goal.

The rain falling from the sky was unusual, Xu Zhi could feel the coldness seeping into her limbs and the dulled thoughts, in addition to increasing her physical exertion, it seemed to reduce her will and spirit.

The continuous roar of the sky and the thunder that has not yet fallen brought her endless mental pressure, the muddy ground under her feet made her difficult, and the temptation of "comfort" behind her was guiding her to turn back, obviously it was only twice as long as before, but Xu Zhi was a little physically and mentally exhausted.

All kinds of pressures and temptations from the outside world could not hinder Xu Zhi's forward movements, the lantern in his hand emitted a faint light at this moment, and the pouring rain would become much smaller when he entered the range of the lantern, and the light also exuded warmth, constantly dispelling the cold on Xu Zhi's body.

She pressed Xu Zhi forward and continued to move forward, and when she had walked twice the distance, she finally approached the wooden house again.

It seemed like a good place to take shelter from the rain and rest, and this time, she probably won't be back to square one.

Thinking so, Xu Zhi stepped forward again and approached the wooden house and pushed the door open.

A creaking sound sounded, and sure enough, this time, instead of returning to square one, she successfully opened the door that had not been completely opened for the first time.

Xu Zhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, she was already very tired and tired, and she didn't know how long she could walk if she continued to move forward, and it was good to be able to rest a little now.

It was pitch black inside the door, but fortunately, there was a glowing lantern in Xu Zhi's hand, and after entering the house, the dim hut was illuminated by the lantern, and the wooden door behind him was quietly closed.

Click.

There was a clear sound, it was the sound of the door being closed, and it was also the moment when Xu Zhi blinked.

When she opened her eyes again, her tired eyes showed a look of surprise and shock.

She saw the whole house.

This is her former home.

The home in the Federal Cloud City, which has long been destroyed.

Everything was so familiar, except for the black fog flowing outside the window that turned white, and she was carrying a lantern in her hand that did not belong to this home.

Xu Zhi blinked, a rare little overwhelmed, she was stunned in place for a few seconds, and when she realized that she was standing at the door, she took a few steps forward.

The continuous dripping rain on her body and the muddy upper stained the floor, but Xu Zhi didn't care too much, she walked to the sofa, gently put the lantern in her hand on the coffee table table, and then sat on the sofa by herself.

The surroundings are quiet, or rather, peaceful.

Xu Zhi could hear the sound of the rainstorm outside the window, everything in the room was so familiar, it was an environment she didn't like or hate, but it was very familiar.

Her pupils suddenly shrank as she withdrew her gaze from the window and fell back on the coffee table.

What was placed on the coffee table was no longer the lantern she was holding all the way, but a game console with a white color.

Xu Zhi was speechless for a moment, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

Hallucination?

Yes, of course all this is an illusion, and there is no doubt that she is now in the test of a big dream.

To put it simply, she's dreaming.

After realizing this, the heart that had been suddenly lifted fell back again.

She wiped her rain-stained fingers with a few tissues that had been placed next to her before reaching for the game console on the coffee table.
