After the treasure box was opened, everything for today was over. Li Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and soaked his whole body in the water, letting the warm water wrap around him and wash away all his fatigue.

Ten minutes later, Li Zheng changed his clothes and came out of the bathroom.

Arriving on the second floor, Sakura was sleeping quietly on the ground a few steps away from the bed, wrapped by the Red Pollies.

In order to make her sleep more comfortable, the Red Pollies also changed a pillow with a suitable height. A big snot bubble hung on Sakura's nose, shrinking rhythmically with her long breathing.

The newly joined Miriel lay directly on Li Zheng's exclusive bed, occupying a small corner because Li Zheng didn't have an extra bed.

The Bloodthirsty Demonic Knife was suspended about three meters away from the bed, not daring to take a step beyond its reach.

Li Zheng waved his hand and asked Yi Si and Kuro to take the 'Real Maze' to the door to guard it, so as not to let wandering monsters come at night and disturb his rest.

The level of wandering monsters that players encounter at night has nothing to do with their own strength. Even Li Zheng may encounter a group of migrating black iron-level creatures.

Although it wouldn't endanger his life, it would still be quite annoying if he was woken up.

Therefore, it is very necessary for Isi and Kuro to stand guard outside.

Li Zheng lay on the bed and rubbed the center of his brow tiredly twice. Miriel turned over next to him, hugged one of his arms, and put a slender straight calf on his body.

Li Zheng turned to look at Miriel and smiled silently. This little succubus has just become his pet, does he trust him so much?

Um?

Li Zheng was suddenly stunned. He opened Miriel's attribute panel again and looked back and forth three times carefully.

"There is no show of loyalty?"

Li Zheng murmured in his heart, is it because Miriel's actual identity is a servant and he may be able to break away from him at any time, so he doesn't show loyalty?

This is a bit troublesome. If one day I accidentally offend her, or if she doesn't want to follow him anymore after entering the outer city, wouldn't he just leave?

Well……

When Li Zheng thought about this, he suddenly realized that the Succubus Queen's request at that time was to let him take Miriel to the outer city.

That's all.

He did not promise himself that Miriel would not leave after going to the outer city.

In other words, you are just a leader?

What a bastard!

Fortunately, before I left that dungeon, I was thinking about going back to the Fallen Abyss one day and bringing them out.

Love is not needed at all, the chips are all on Miriel!

Thinking of this, Li Zheng was even more speechless.

But he couldn't go back on what he had promised. After all, Lu Li and the others were able to leave the dungeon alive only because of the Succubus Queen's mercy.

As a human being, the most important thing is the bottom line and principles, and you cannot break your word.

Li Zheng will definitely continue to complete this task of leading the way. As for whether Miriel will leave him after entering the outer city.

Then let her do it.

The current situation in the outer city is unclear, so there is no point in thinking about it.

Maybe after arriving in the outer city, Miriel won't be able to leave even if he wants to.

At least, being a 'player' is enough to give her a headache.

Li Zheng closed his eyes and thought wildly for a while, unable to fall asleep. He simply used his mental power to trigger the lantern holder in his palm to lift the lantern and enter the dark world.

…

In the dark space, Li Zheng opened his eyes and already held a lantern in his hand, illuminating the area around him.

"You came."

Xu's voice sounded from behind, and Li Zheng turned around and found that Xu was wearing exactly the same clothes as himself now, both in pajamas.

"coming."

Li Zheng nodded, "I can't sleep, so I'm here to stay with you. It just so happens that you haven't finished the method of practicing mental power last time, so let's continue today."

In fact, it's not that he didn't finish what he said, but that Xu had too much nonsense, which caused Li Zheng not to remember much.

This time he decided that no matter what Xu said, he must focus on the most important content and try to remember it all at once.

"It's not urgent."

Xu stretched out his hand and nodded: "This person next to you is..."

The one next to me?

Li Zheng was stunned when he heard the words. He looked in the direction pointed by Xu and saw a little succubus loli holding her arm without a lantern and rubbing her eyes.

"Mirel?!" Li Zheng was surprised: "Why did you come in too?"

"Hmm...?" Miriel looked like she had just woken up, Wei Wei was still a little confused and didn't understand the situation, "Shouldn't I... come in?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her two arms holding Li Zheng suddenly passed through Li Zheng's body, waking her up.

"Ah! Why did you wear it? Huh? No sense of touch? Where is this? Who are you? Why do you look exactly like me?"

After waking up, Miriel asked several questions in succession and looked around curiously.

"Could it be that when I came in with a lantern, I happened to have physical contact with her, so she followed me in?"

Li Zheng asked Xu: "Has something similar happened before?"

Xu slowly shook his head, indicating no.

However, it can be seen from his eyes that he does not object to Li Zheng's behavior of bringing others into the dark world.

The more people come in, the more individuals can communicate with him, and he can also hear more information from the outside world.

Although He is the one doing the talking most of the time...

"This is the dark world, and I am Xu, because neither of us has a physical body, so we have no sense of touch." Xu smiled and explained to Miriel: "As for why I look exactly the same as you, because I have never had a physical body, so I don't have a physical body.

Know what you should look like.

What you see is actually the reflection of your own image in me."

"Oh, uh-huh! I understand!" Miriel said in a positive tone: "So you are a mirror!"

Mirror?

Xu obtained Li Zheng's memory last time and knew the meaning of the mirror. He nodded: "It's a wonderful metaphor, but to be precise, I am a mirror that can only reflect yourselves."

"Then what do you do?" Miriel asked.

"I can be considered the master of this dark world." Xu replied.

"What is the dark world?" Miriel continued to ask.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The dark world is..." Xu explained the theory of 'virtual reality' to Miriel again.

"Then..." Miriel continued to ask.

"..."

Of these two people, one had a strong thirst for knowledge and the other had a strong desire to talk. It was like the bastard looked at Mung Bean and made eye contact.

After going back and forth, asking questions and answering questions, the two of them soon started chatting enthusiastically, leaving Li Zheng aside.

Next to Li Zheng, he almost thought there were two girls from Earth in front of him. Because of the words "Huh? Your bag is so beautiful, where can I buy it?", they instantly developed into best friends who talk about everything.

The topics between the two of them ranged from "What is the Dark World?" to Xu's glorious past.

Seeing that Xu was about to start talking endlessly about his own 'life' that had lasted for countless years, Li Zheng quickly interrupted.

"Ahem! I said... let's talk about business first, such as how to train your mental power in the dark world."

This sudden topic disrupted Xu's interest, and he quickly said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Actually, during the time you were away, I worked out an exercise method that is more suitable for you."

As he said that, He pointed to the void not far away: "Go, walk to the edge you can go to, and then use your strength to push the obstacles in front of you."

"Is it that simple?" Li Zheng felt that this exercise method was too perfunctory and doubted its credibility.

"It's that simple!" Xuan waved his hand and said, "When you are ready to condense the nodes, I will tell you how to condense them."

Looking at Xu who turned around and started to explain to Miriel what a 'node' was, Li Zheng sighed and wanted to raise his hand to rub his forehead a few times.

Only when his palm passed through his head did he remember that he couldn't even do habitual movements here.

well!

Sighing again, Li Zheng found a direction and walked over silently.

About twenty steps away, Li Zheng ran into an invisible 'barrier'.

According to the method mentioned by Xu, he stretched out his arms and pressed it.

The 'barrier' is invisible and insubstantial, and Li Zheng has no sense of touch in this state, but his consciousness knows that there is a 'barrier' here that is hindering his progress.

So he reached out and seemed to be pressing on the 'barrier'. In fact, from the perspective of a bystander, he was like an actor practicing mime, reaching out on a piece of non-existent glass and pushing forward with all his strength.

"Does this really work?"
