1652: C1652 Phobia

C1652 Phobia

The moment Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao stepped into the city, they were immediately stopped by the city gate that descended with a loud rumbling sound.1

Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao stood with their backs to each other. They were only a foot away from the city gate, but they could not see each other nor the blue city gate behind them.

Actually, from the outside, the blue city gate had already turned pitch black, as if the dazzling and resplendent blue light from before was a dream.

For some reason, the white mist had formed into a ball and surrounded the city. From afar, it looked like a hemisphere, with a diameter of black as the diameter, covering the inside of the black wall. It was especially smooth and round, like the dome of an ancient medieval European castle.

The white mist was especially conspicuous in this area because of the city walls, and the black mist made the city walls seem especially dark and gloomy. The two of them shone together, and from the outside, this place looked like a ghost castle that could eat people without blinking an eye.

However, Xuan Hao and Zhong Ming, who were inside, were completely unaware of this change in appearance. In the outside world, the two of them looked like pitiful people who were inside a giant monster. However, they didn't look at it that way.

When Zhong Ming looked very calm and relaxed, Xuan Hao was on his back and tightly pressed against Zhong Ming's back, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. When Zhong Ming seemed to be very skilled and very calm, Xuan Hao was on his back, tightly pressed against Zhong Ming's back, and it didn't seem to be out of the ordinary.

It seemed small, better than Zhongming, even more relaxed than Zhong Ming.

Xuan Hao relaxed. He had just been accepted by his master, and had even slightly resisted his master for a moment. To think that he had actually succeeded. Naturally, his heart was incomparably beautiful. Even though it had been disturbed by an unfathomable inner devil, it was now unafraid of anything. Ghost? Humans were scarier than ghosts. Weren't ghosts the dead creatures' obsession in this world? In reality, there was nothing to be afraid of. Even though the city looked so eerie and quiet that it made people panic, he was no longer afraid. Its master's acknowledgement of its loyalty was the motivation for him to move forward and work hard.

In the past, as a prince of the dragon race, all the excitement in his heart came from the acknowledgement of his clansmen and elders for his hard work. Zhong Ming might not have any other thoughts, so he had no way of knowing and chose his current mentality. In fact, this mentality was very common on Earth. Even on the mainland, it was also very common in the sects. "Huu." For example, if a student who wholeheartedly studied was praised by his teacher and was praised by his classmates, then he would definitely work even harder and actively improve himself; or if a disciple in a sect was to diligently train and gain the approval of his teacher or elders; or if they were to even receive praise and guidance from their elders, then even if it was just a small matter that was said to move the lips of the elders, or a casual little guidance, to a disciple, it was still worth to be excited for a day.

Xuan Hao was in such a state of excitement that he had no idea that Zhong Ming had even doubted him a little before he had thrown him into space, or even had some bad thoughts about her. He had only seen Zhong Ming's protection of her now, and his willingness to give his back to him, a precious trust, at least for him. Even if it was to live up to his trust, Xuan Hao would still do his best to complete the task Zhong Ming gave him.

Zhong Ming didn't know the number to choose. In his current state of excitement, he only knew that there was something wrong with his current state, so he was constantly on guard against any idea that did not conform to his daily thinking. He didn't know what had affected him, so he had no way of figuring out the root of this evil thought that suddenly arose. As a result, he could only constantly tighten his bowstring, not daring to relax it for even a moment.

He still hadn't yet had the opportunity to discuss in detail with Xuan Hao about why he had been bedeviled at such a young age, and even analyzed the reasons for it. If he were to fight directly now, it would actually seem a little bit rushed, or even a little insufficiently prepared.

At least, according to Zhong Ming's way of thinking and behavior in the past, he should have at least made a thorough preparations before entering this strange palace-like city. However, now that he had given up, he did not know how he did it. He directly and cleanly comforted Huang Ling and Xuan Hao and led Xuan Hao into this space.

Yes, after the fog had completely captivated them, Zhong Ming started to reflect on the paradox of his previous actions. From the end of his training until now, he thought he was smart enough to be rational, even calm enough. However, when he recalled now, he felt a chill down his spine. What was it that had caused his thoughts to enter this strange place so impulsively?

Xuan Hao was calmly thinking on the other side, while Zhong Ming was behind him. Zhong Ming was thinking at a rapid pace.

Zhong Ming didn't know where this skill came from, but he felt that it was quite useful. Just like now, when time was running out fast, with Xuan Hao on the other side with his back facing him, he had prepared himself for the fight, while he was actually able to distract himself and take a trip to get what he wanted all the time. Now, with all kinds of misunderstandings in his mind and behavior, Zhong Ming felt that his head was spinning, and at the same time, he also felt a little lucky.

This unremarkable skill seemed to be quite useful. At the very least, when he analyzed it, the middle-aged man would recall all sorts of memories. It seemed like it could be divided into many areas with random thoughts. If that was the case, then his analysis speed would be greatly increased. This was good news for Zhou Ming. This was the only good news she had received in less than two days, ever since she had started refining pills.

With the increase in his speed, Zhong Ming quickly tidied up those things that he didn't know about. He tidied up everything, even the details that he had barely managed to remember after becoming possessed.

He discovered that he seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread, all his thoughts and actions were focused on the target. Of course, leaning towards the target meant leaning towards the danger. Although this direct approach to the main topic seemed to be correct and there was even a hint of decisiveness and efficiency, Zhong Ming was always very meticulous and cautious.

It was as if there was someone in the dark who was determined to push them here, even in the face of the antipathy and suspicion that it would arouse. At least Zhong Ming started to suspect, he didn't know the source of his suspicions now. But he had an unfounded intuition that made him more and more fearful. If someone had been watching them in the dark, driving them toward this place, or perhaps driving the prospects of this place, what was his real purpose?

This feeling of seeing intuition and suspicion but not having a single clue made Zhong Ming feel extremely disgusted.

He didn't want to have the impulse to stay out of this, so it made him lose all of his nerves, and even slightly suppressed his rationality. At this moment, he didn't care much about it. He wanted to hide all the items he had chosen together with himself in this dense fog. He didn't even want the water chestnut grass anymore. In an instant, his mother came up, making him want to stay away from the scary fact that someone had been manipulating them all this time. It was a creepy feeling.

However, he was instantly suppressed by Zhong Ming's logic. He didn't know who it was and how weak their control was. Perhaps it was because that God Beast that had yet to die, but still had a sliver of consciousness, but this snack was staring at the door. Many years later, someone finally stepped onto this mountain field, and it was they who had pressed all the remaining obsession onto their bodies.

But it could also be that the immortal, or perhaps the almighty, still had some unfulfilled desires. It could even be that the people who died in these mountains, or those creatures that died, became stubborn after they evolved.

Zhong Ming instantly thought of all the possibilities. She couldn't help but smile faintly. She had made the impulse just now, but she could still suppress it no matter how rational she was. By now, he had already lived two lifetimes, and escaping from his fate was definitely not something he should do. Of course, he couldn't possibly overestimate his own abilities and know that there were tigers on the mountain. He would never do something as stupid as trying to shake a tree or block a car with his arms. He completely despised this kind of person, but most of the time, he was calm and didn't seem to have any abnormal opinions.

Now that he thought about it, Zhong Ming felt like he was controlling his body for no reason, because he was in a rush all the way here. He did not think about it at all, only focusing on following his goal, completely losing his previous habit. However, he was unable to find the source. If it seemed like, it was indeed no big deal, because they were all heading towards their goal. However, if they were to dig deeper and deeper, it would cause people to feel extremely terrified.

Although this didn't seem like a big deal, in reality, it was a poison that could secretly turn you into someone else. It was not a one-day affair for everyone to turn bad. This kind of change in habits of mind was the scariest.
