Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 699 Eternal Night
Standing in front of the glass window of the high-rise building, Zheng Zha looked at the city outside, which was shrouded in a torrential downpour and a chilling wind, his brows furrowed.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Jie, who was sprawled on the sofa.

"Brother Jie, something seems off."

"It feels like the world is starting to resemble a horror movie."

"Something's not quite right."

Zhang Jie rubbed his temples and said, "Zhan Lan is a fourth-tier initial-stage mental power user."

"Her enhanced mental skills and stats are more than mine."

“We cannot follow Ming Yanwei’s plan and use my mental power to construct a false world for her according to our preconceived notions.”

"No matter what, she is an extremely rare natural spiritual power user."

"Therefore, the current world of inner demons can only be centered around Zhan Lan's sea of ​​the mind."

"A seemingly plausible world that we induce, shape, and rewrite."

"I can only control some major changes."

"It's impossible to control every single detail."

Zhang Jie stood up and walked to the window: "So I don't have many ways to actively interfere with this world."

"Damn it." Cheng Xiao rolled over and got out of bed.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Zhang Jie, you're not going to screw us over, are you?"

Zhang Jie's face darkened, and he said, "What do you mean by 'pitfall'?"

"This is a fact."

"The world is now sliding into an uncontrollable abyss."

"If a world without the extraordinary and science fiction is a baseline of 1."

"Then 0.1 is like the indescribable and incomprehensible world of Cthulhu."

“Now Zhan Lan’s mental image world has slipped toward 0.8.”

"This is not a good sign."

Zhang Jie paused for a moment.

"This shows that the darkness in her heart is deeper than we imagined."

Zheng Zha asked anxiously, "Darkness?"

Why is her heart so dark?

"You big pervert, you seem to be in a hurry." A faint voice made Zheng Zha's face stiffen.

He quickly turned around and looked at Lori with a fawning expression: "I was just worried about my teammates."

Luo Li watched the movie with her legs crossed, occasionally stuffing potato chips into her mouth.

She scoffed, "Fine, everyone knows what you're thinking."

"Didn't you say you wanted us to become your wings?"

Zheng Zha chuckled twice: "I couldn't help myself at the time."

He didn't deny it. To be honest, after going through so much, he has now completely understood his own heart. He's a scumbag, so be it.

But with the final battle imminent, he didn't reveal the truth.

After all, with Bosch's example already set, he couldn't very well mess around with relationships.

Luo Li said lightly, "After all, he's just a junior high school student."

"You are too weak to even kill a chicken, and you can't compare to the help that Sister Zhan Lan can give you."

"Even if you two are being affectionate in the cycle of reincarnation, it's none of my business."

Zheng Zha's expression became even more awkward.

Zhang Jie whistled and looked at the ceiling.

Cheng Xiao and Ling Dian, one counting on his fingers and the other looking at the book in his hand, both had expressionless faces.

But I can't hold it in any longer.

Zheng Zha could only change the subject: "What if it slips to 0.7?"

"Then there really is something fishy going on!" Zhang Jie exclaimed.

“I can forcefully stop the slide, but once I get too involved.”

"Zhan Lan's subconscious will then trigger a defense mechanism."

"Her ego will clash with my mental strength."

Zhang Jie pointed around: "Then this world will completely collapse."

"What will be the consequences of the collapse of the spiritual world?" Zheng Zha asked seriously.

"I'm afraid I can't say for sure, but it's definitely not a good outcome," Zhang Jie said.

"At best, it will severely damage one's mental strength; at worst, it will erase one's personality and lead to complete death."

"You only get one chance to fight your inner demons."

"Therefore, we must be extremely careful. Otherwise, we could end up harming Zhan Lan."

The Zhongzhou team currently has two players at the fourth level of mental strength. Zhao Ruikong, who had just recovered from a mental fragment, cleverly overcame her inner demons in the Final Destination world with the help of the Nightmare World and the two Sakura characters.

Zhang Jie's inner demons were much more dangerous, almost causing the deaths of the three women from the Zhongzhou team.

If Zhuang Boshi hadn't ventured alone into Zhang Jie's inner world, it would have been impossible to awaken Zhang Jie's true self.

The same is true for Zhan Lan now. Her inner demons were not suppressed in advance, but reached their peak through numerous enhancements and trials.

Because Zhan Lan was so normal, no one knew what her inner demons were.

However, it is well known that the closer a mentally ill person is to being normal, the more severe their mental illness is.

Now we can only follow the plan and first figure out what Zhan Lan's inner demons are.

Although Chu Xuan had prepared a very comprehensive plan to deal with his inner demons, putting it into practice was another matter entirely.

Zhang Jie wasn't very confident either.

"We can only take it one step at a time," Zheng Zha said with some worry.

"You need to play your role as Prince Charming well," Zhang Jie advised.

"Zhan Lan must have some girlish dreams, so classic scenes are a must."

Don't let me down!

As a veteran actor, he understands how difficult it is to get into character when acting with familiar people.

Especially Zheng Zha, who at first glance looks like a handsome young man, but is actually a brainless gorilla.

"Don't worry," Zheng Zha said optimistically.

"I am ready."

"How about I change it for you?" Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"It's not impossible for me to play the role of Prince Charming."

Zheng Zha's expression changed, and he looked at Cheng Xiao with some hostility.

"you--"

Thump, thump, thump…

Before Zheng Zha could speak, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Instantly, the room fell silent.

Several people looked at each other.

Zheng Zha looked at Zhang Jie: "You ordered room service?"

Zhang Jie shook his head.

Lingdian was the first to get up, took out an M1911 and leaned against the back of the door.

Zheng Zha pushed Luo Li into the inner room and hid her in the wardrobe.

Then he came out again, this time with a small rifle in his hand.

Cheng Xiao picked up a QBZ95.

Zhang Jie then brought out his favorite Desert Eagle.

The group quickly formed an encirclement.

In Zhan Lan's inner demon world, they had to suppress that immense power and become ordinary people.

Because once she reveals power beyond the rules in this world, it will definitely stimulate Zhan Lan's subconscious.

Whether Zhan Lan's true self awakens or she falls deeper into depravity, it is not the outcome they want to see.

At midnight, the door opened, and a young man in a red ceremonial uniform stood outside.

He smiled and said, "VIP, you just ordered room service."

"The meal will be brought to you now."

Zero remained calm; he had encountered a similar scene in the Godzilla world.

A knock on the door at this time is almost certainly a sign of something fishy.

He coldly refused, saying, "We didn't order anything; you've delivered to the wrong place."

In an instant, he slammed the door shut and pressed the gun to his forehead.

Boom, boom, boom...

The knocking sounded again, and without hesitation, he fired a shot at midnight, piercing the door.

As he pulled the trigger, he opened the door, but unexpectedly...

There was nothing outside the door.

Zero's pupils contracted slightly. He took a step out, and in the long corridor, there was no one in sight. It was so quiet that it seemed as if only they were on this floor.

Zhang Jie stepped forward, closed the door, and said sternly, "Don't chase after them!"

"It seems Zhan Lan's subconscious has already detected us." Cheng Xiao said with a headache, "Zhang Jie, are you still a fourth-tier intermediate level?"

"How come even Zhan Lan's mental world can't be suppressed?"

Zhang Jie's face darkened, and he said, "We must move them as soon as possible."

"Jan Lan's inner demons are much more ferocious than I imagined."

Zheng Zha stepped out into the inner room, ready to pull Luo Li along, only to find the cabinet empty.

Zheng Zha's heart skipped a beat.

Lori is gone!
"Something's happened!" He clenched his fists.

In that instant, he almost activated the Destruction skill and rushed out of the high-rise building.

"What!" Zhang Jie's eyes widened.

"How is that possible? I didn't sense anything unusual!"

Why did Lori suddenly disappear from the place just a wall away from them?

Zheng Zha didn't care about anything else. He rushed out and quickly inspected the entire hotel.

Lingdian and Cheng Xiao immediately began searching the nearby neighborhoods, one in the east and one in the west.

But Lori simply vanished into thin air.

Zheng Zha returned to his room somewhat dejectedly, where he saw Ling Dian and Cheng Xiao, who had also returned.

"not found."

The two shook their heads.

"Why?" Zheng Zha took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to open the primordial world and destroy it.

Zhang Jie frowned and said, "A feint attack?"

"Generally speaking, inner demons have no self-will."

"Unless someone imposes a will, like Bosch, or the inner demons that were instilled and conceived by the evil god in the Hobbits."

"And my inner demon that combines fragments of Freddy's personality."

"Could it be that Zhan Lan was hacked at some point that we don't know about?"

Zhang Jie paced back and forth in the room, sensing that things were starting to get out of his control.

"Why is Zhan Lan's inner demon targeting Luo Li?" Zheng Zha asked in a chilling tone.

"calm down."

Zhang Jie patted him on the shoulder: "It's very likely because Luo Li is the weakest, or it could be because of Zhan Lan's subconscious—"

“He saw Lori as a rival.”

"Then what should we do!" Zheng Zha knew he could only blame himself for this.

He sat on the bed, clenching his fists.

Zhang Jie said helplessly, "There is only one option now, which is to interrupt the inner demon training ahead of schedule."

"Only in this way can I be sure of rescuing Luo Li's consciousness from Zhan Lan's mind."

"But this means that Zhan Lan will definitely undergo a malignant change."

In other words, you can only choose one.

These words made the atmosphere even more tense.

Zheng Zha immediately stood up, staring intently at Zhang Jie: "I don't accept it!"

"I will bring back Lori and Zhan Lan in my own way!"

With that, he rushed downstairs and quickly disappeared into the rain.

Zhang Jie covered his face and cursed angrily, "Damn it!"

"Chu Xuan's garbage plan!"

"Why did you bring Lori in here?!"

Cheng Xiao's expression was also grim: "The male lead has run away, how are we supposed to continue acting?"

Zhang Jie sighed and looked longingly at Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao's expression grew increasingly stiff: "No, I was just joking."

"You really want me to do it?"

"If Zheng Zha comes back, he'll tear me apart."

Zhang Jie said seriously, "Cheng Xiao, this is not the time to joke around."

"Zheng Zha was quite restrained and did not reveal his power to destroy the mental image space."

“We can exist independently in Zhan Lan’s mental realm, but Luo Li cannot.”

"She's just an ordinary person."

"Once you get too deeply involved, you can easily suffer irreversible psychological damage."

"Time is limited. For the safety of Luo Li and Zhan Lan, we must hurry."

"At the very least, we need to find Zhan Lan's inner demons."

Cheng Xiao sighed and nodded.

Zhang Jie turned to look at the dark rain.

The wind and rain howled again.

His eyelids twitched suddenly, and the world slid to a new level once again.

It has now reached 0.7.

The number 0.7 symbolizes the appearance of some terrifying evil spirits and monsters.

"Damn it!" Zhang Jie cursed.

Boom, boom, boom!
Zhan Lan suddenly woke up with a start.

Her heart was pounding. She seemed to have just had a terrible nightmare, but she couldn't recall any of the scenes.

Only the deepest fear still lingers in a person's limbs and brain.

Her body went numb, as if she were being paralyzed by a ghost.

She tried her best to move her eyes, but in the dim space, she could vaguely see a tall, dark figure standing by the door.

Crunch, crunch.

With each breath Zhan Lan took, the dark figure moved step by step toward her.

Each step felt like walking on an old wooden floor.

I've only ever heard that kind of floor noise at my grandma's house.

But who is that?!

Zhan Lan felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

wrong! !
all fake!

all fake!

Like a paralyzed patient, Zhan Lan tried her best to move her fingers, and finally, just as the dark figure approached her.

She touched the switch.

Snapped!
The dim yellow light illuminated the dilapidated room, which was less than ten square meters in size.

The thing pressing down on Zhan Lan disappeared the moment the light came out.

Zhan Lan quickly sat up, but there was no dark figure around her.

However, the moldy wallpaper in the small hotel reflected distorted images, as if a twisted human figure was buried in the wall.

Zhan Lan took two deep breaths, picked up her water glass, and gulped down two mouthfuls.

"Don't overthink it, don't overthink it."

"It's all an illusion."

Zhan Lan patted herself a few times to wake herself up, picked up her phone and saw that it was only three in the morning.

"Why is my sleep quality so bad lately?" she muttered to herself.

Zhan Lan went into the cramped bathroom and rubbed her face a couple of times. The person in the mirror had dark circles under her eyes, curly hair, and looked dazed and listless.

What's wrong with you?
Zhan Lan sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

She could only sit on the bed, wide awake, open her laptop, and stare blankly at the document with only a few lines of text.

"What should I write next?" she muttered to herself, biting her lip.

"Write about Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan getting into danger?"

"The Zhan Lan I wrote about is too weak. Apart from some analysis, she seems to have no distinctive features."

This opening was something she came up with on the spur of the moment before going to sleep, just as a practice piece.

Inspired by Infinite Horror, she even became obsessed with it, immersing herself in the horror world.

Zhan Lan, a third-rate writer, specializes in analyzing plots of reincarnation worlds.

Although it cannot change the plot and has few highlights in the character arc, it adds a sense of excitement to the adventure.

After typing two more lines, she felt a deep sense of exhaustion.

Left with no other option, Zhan Lan closed the document and then opened the Infinite Terror document.

After glancing at it twice, Zhan Lan's eyes lit up; the document had actually been updated.

Why? Could it be that there is an invisible writer who manipulates and leaves these words on his computer?

After seeing the name of the third world.

Zhan Lan's last bit of sleepiness completely disappeared.

Because the third world is Ju-on.
