Chapter 137 The Sixth Cycle Begins

The night outside the window was like a black velvet curtain, and the stars seemed like broken diamonds embedded in the curtain.

In the room, the gas lamp went out at some point, and the bright moonlight flowed in from the open window.

Li Feng looked at Xia standing at the door in surprise, and Xia also looked at him in surprise.

At this time, Xia was wearing a white silk nightgown with beautiful lace on the collar and sleeves.

She didn't put on makeup, and her long hair, as soft as satin, fell to her waist, with only a few curls at the ends of her hair.

Li Feng had countless thoughts in his mind, and finally he glimpsed the open window, and suddenly realized it.

In the Endless Sea world where there are extraordinary beings, Li Feng has never felt safe, so subconsciously, he always locked the doors and windows when sleeping.

But now, just like the strange dream last time, the windows are not locked and the door can be opened at will.

Immediately raised the flint and pointed it at Xia at the door.

But at the same time, Xia at the door also summoned a fireball, which was about to be fired at Li Feng.

The firelight illuminated his pupils, and Li Feng suddenly understood.

"Bang!"

The flint bullet left Xia and hit diagonally upward.

Suddenly, the surrounding scenery fell like a broken mirror.

Xia on the opposite side was also like a person in the mirror, broken into countless pieces and fell to the ground.

'Sure enough. '

Combined with the last strange dream, in that dream, Li Feng killed Xia without hesitation and resolved the crisis.

But if he was the one who created the dream, would he do the same thing again and let the other party continue to succeed?

Definitely not.

Then by analogy, it is natural to guide the person in the dream to kill himself.

So in this dream, a mirror appeared.

It's just that the mirror is weird, and the person in the mirror doesn't look like himself, but Xia.

But because it is a mirror, their steps just now will appear particularly consistent.

But if he wanted to kill "Xia" who visited in the middle of the night like last time, then this mirror would probably show strangeness and make himself the person who was shot.

Li Feng took a deep breath and was a little scared.

But at the same time, he suddenly realized that he woke up after solving the crisis in the last strange dream, but this time...

The bright moon in the sky shone into the night sky around him, and countless mists were lingering. Li Feng looked around and seemed to be in the open field.

While looking around, he suddenly saw a string of sparks in front of him.

In the foggy night, those sparks gradually formed long curved lines, burning from top to bottom.

It was like the night sky was like paper, and the fire burned it all.

"Crash!"

As if it couldn't bear the burning, the night sky shattered like a broken mirror and fell to the ground.

'Another mirror? '

Looking at everything in front of him, Li Feng suddenly understood.

As expected, with sparks flying around like fireflies, Xia stood blankly in the bright moonlight.

Yes, they had the same strange dream last time, and it should be the same this time.

"Did you break the mirror?"

Li Feng asked Xia in the foggy night.

Xia nodded, her heart still full of panic:

"It was so strange just now, I saw you come to the room, but your words and actions were exactly the same as mine.

I felt something was wrong and was about to do it, but suddenly I felt that something was guiding me to kill myself.

So the fireball hit somewhere else, but who knew that everything was broken like a mirror."

Xia quickly described her experience just now, and then asked:

"By the way, what about you?"

"Same here."

Li Feng smiled bitterly, thinking that this girl's style of doing things was exactly the same as his this time.

Just when he was about to say something, he saw Xia suddenly jump away alertly, while keeping a distance from him, and summoning fire elements around her body ready to go.

"Who are you?"

Xia asked Li Feng with a wary tone, full of hostility.

Li Feng: ? ? ?

Xia's behavior stunned Li Feng, what was going on.

"I am Rhine, what's wrong."

"Nonsense!"

Xia immediately retorted:

"If you are really Rhine, what about the wound at the corner of your eye?!"

Li Feng: ...

In the afternoon, Li Feng and Xia encountered a paper crane in the forest. During the fight, the paper crane made the paper spirit cut the corner of Li Feng's eye.

The wound was very deep, and a lot of blood was left at that time.

According to Xia's cognition, ordinary human extraordinary people cannot completely heal that degree of injury without special alchemical potions.

But Li Feng's fishing talent can restore health, although slowly, but the wound at the corner of his eye still healed.

It just happened that his injury is gone now, but Xia mistakenly thinks it is a fake.

Li Feng was having a toothache because of this oolong, and Xia was merciless to the fake Li Feng.

Fire elements in the air gathered and crackled, and fireballs appeared in the night.

As long as Li Feng made a slight move, the fireballs would attack him.

Seeing this, Li Feng quickly calculated in his mind how to prove that he was himself immediately.

Suddenly, he thought of the topic about the evening, injuries, and disfigurement, and said hurriedly:

"I feel sorry that I can't be your stepfather, so I used the potion to heal the wound when I went back!

Oh, isn't this all for a gigolo?"

Xia: ? ? ?

'He can say these words, it doesn't seem to be fake, but...'

But hearing this again, Xia's mouth twitched slightly, and she wanted to greet him with a fireball even more in her heart.

Gently waving her hand, the summoned fireball disappeared.

"Well, I just didn't expect that you actually have a potion that can completely heal wounds."

Shia said while holding her tongue, and then she looked around at the dense fog.

Since Li Feng is not a fake, the most important thing at the moment is to find out what happened to them.

There is bright moonlight shining in the sky, shining on the lingering fog, but the fog is too thick and it is impossible to see the distant places clearly.

"What's going on with us now?"

Xia approached Li Feng, stood next to him and looked at the surroundings shrouded in thick fog with vigilance:

"Is this a dream, or have we really been brought to this place?"

Hearing Xia ask this, Li Feng couldn't figure it out for a moment.

He looked down at himself.

At this moment, he was wearing a white cotton shirt and black trousers, which were the clothes he wore before going to bed.

He will return to the player world at midnight today. Li Feng is afraid that an emergency will not be easy to deal with, so he plans to sleep with his clothes on.

As for Sia, she is currently wearing a white silk nightgown, and she should be in bedtime state.

Logically speaking, they should all be in their own bedrooms.

He pushed through the thick fog with his hand. Even though the moonlight was bright, Li Feng still couldn't see clearly the scenery behind the thick fog.

But no matter what, this is definitely not a bedroom for two people.

"I guess it was a dream."

Li Feng frowned and said:

"Before something strange happened, I saw it on the table, my invitation to the Theater of Sadness."

Shia was slightly surprised, but immediately returned to normal.

"Me too. The invitation I locked in my room at Storm's End also appeared here inexplicably."

"Looks like we're going to see a show tonight."

Looking at the fog ahead, Li Feng whispered.

At the same time, he opened his system backpack and began checking for items he might need.

Fortunately, because of the existence of the dragon bag, Li Feng has always been able to carry everything he got along the way.

On the other side, Xia, who was standing side by side with Li Feng, was also calm and alert.

But suddenly.

She raised her hands slightly, holding up her long skirt without her control, and then slowly took a step back.

What frightened her was that Li Feng opposite him actually did the same thing.

Just now, he took a step back and faced himself.

Under Xia's gaze, Li Feng gave her a very standard gentleman's courtesy with a blank look on his face.

What frightened Sia even more was that she herself responded with a very standard ladylike courtesy.

But everything they do is out of their control.

"What's wrong with us?"

Xia asked Li Feng through the contract.

Li Feng was also horrified, losing control of his body, which was definitely not a good thing.

But while trying to regain control of his body, Li Feng suddenly realized that this must be a dream.

Although the hearing, vision, and touch are all very real, it is the kind of reality that is tried hard to simulate.

It's the same feeling as in the last strange dream.

"It's a dream, we are being controlled, be careful."

Because they lost control of their bodies, neither Li Feng nor Xia could speak, and they could only communicate through contracts.

When they were thinking about what to do next, the two of them suddenly saw the thick fog receding in front of them, and the sound of "crash" waves could be heard in their ears.

A red carpet appeared inexplicably under the feet, and at the end of the red carpet was a tall tower.

There were no lights on the tower, and it was pitch black from top to bottom.

Li Feng and Xia desperately looked through the fog to observe the tower and its surroundings, but they suddenly realized——

This is actually the lighthouse island in the wharf area of ​​Fengxi City.

Take a closer look.

Although the surrounding scenery and the sound of the waves are exactly the same as the lighthouse island.

But the tall tower in front of me is not a lighthouse to guide ships.

Compared with the lighthouse, the tower in front is taller, has a more primitive architectural style, and has a more grand and gorgeous appearance.

But the two people who hadn't figured out the situation yet had their bodies suddenly controlled again.

They held hands with each other and walked solemnly towards the dark and mysterious tower ahead.

It looked like he was a guest attending a grand performance.

The moonlight was bright in the sky, and the remaining thin mist in front of them was retreating layer by layer as they entered.

And when they were about to enter the tower, suddenly, the lights on the first floor of the tower suddenly turned on.

Bright and dazzling lights instantly spilled out from the doors and windows, illuminating the surroundings of the tower.

At the same time as the lights appeared, there were also joyful music played by the harp and piano.

Along with the sea water, they penetrate directly into the guests' ears.

“This is the Theater of Sorrow?”

Xia asked Li Feng through the contract.

"Almost, we received an invitation and were forced to come to the show tonight."

As Li Feng replied, he quickly recalled in his mind the useful information he had found in the past few days.

“This was once a bustling theater where opera singers performed the ascension of the old gods on stage.

Lift. "

'Old God, promoted...'

Li Feng was controlled to move forward while analyzing the next situation.

The scenery changed along the way, and Li Feng and Xia have now entered the lobby on the first floor of the theater.

This hall is empty at the moment, but looking from the door, it is magnificent and golden.

There was a bright red carpet on the floor, and an equally bright red velvet curtain hung on the stage.

Li Feng and Xia were controlled and walked slowly to the front row of the auditorium, where they sat down in the middle.

As they sat down, the melodious sound of the harp sounded again.

But unlike the joy just now, this time the music is filled with endless solemnity.

At the same time, a rich female voice sounded, singing in a low voice accompanied by the sound of the harp.

Li Feng listened carefully, and the song seemed to be describing a story.

In the story, there was a great knight who was looking for the treasure called the Cinnabar Cup.

At the beginning of the story, like all treasure hunting stories, the knight experienced all kinds of hardships and difficulties.

Then, the brave knight found clues to the Cinnabar Cup in the delivery bed of the cabin in the woods.

The Cinnabar Cup was about to be born.

And beside the delivery bed, the midwife who helped the mother to deliver the baby was a woman called the Mother of the Mountains.

The song finally stopped.

And as the song stopped, the red velvet curtain slowly opened on the stage, and the performance officially began.

At this moment, on the large stage of the theater.

There was an actor dressed as a weathered middle-aged knight.

He knelt beside a delivery bed, holding a dagger in his hand, full of awe.

On the delivery bed, the woman who played the parturient had a blurred face, her belly was bulging high, but her whole body was as thin as skin and bones.

The woman pleaded to look to the left side of the delivery bed, where another actor stood.

She was also a woman, her age was hard to tell, but her face was cold, she was the midwife.

She was also the woman who was called the Mother of the Mountains in the song just now.

The performance continued, and the actors began to perform.

The woman on the delivery bed was in great pain, and her delivery seemed to be difficult.

The Mother of the Mountains looked at the knight with a cold face, and the knight seemed to understand something.

He raised the dagger in his hand with piety and awe, and suddenly swung it to his lower body, castrating himself.

As the blood gushed out, the woman on the delivery bed seemed to be relieved.

But soon, she encountered difficulties again.

Seeing this, the Mother of the Mountains looked at the knight coldly again, and the knight seemed to understand something.

He raised the dagger in his hand with piety and awe, and cut out his heart.

But this time, his blood seemed to be of no help.

Seeing this, the Mother of the Mountains took the dagger, she pointed the dagger at herself, and cut a long wound on her chest.

Then she began to peel her skin from the wound.

Real blood flowed like a river, dyeing the stage red.

The knight died, the mother of the mountain died, and so did the actors who played them.

With the death of the two actors, the stage was very quiet.

But the performance continued.

Not long after, a light appeared on the stage.

The light was the glory of the Holy Judge, and it rushed out from the broken body of the knight.

And the wind and dew came from the mountains, and it flew out happily from the flesh and blood of the mother of the mountain.

On the delivery bed, the cinnabar cup was successfully born, and the stage curtain slowly fell.

Li Feng and Xia were controlled and watched the whole performance intently.

Although they didn't understand what the performance was, they were stunned and shocked by such a bloody performance.

Especially when seeing the knight castrate himself, Li Feng suddenly felt that his sanity was about to fall off.

"What does this performance mean? Now..."

Xia, who had been unable to move and watched an extremely uncomfortable performance, was a little irritable now.

She wanted to wake up from the dream, she wanted to take back control of her body, but she tried many times, but it was useless.

She was about to discuss with Li Feng through the contract, but she felt a blood-red in front of her eyes before she could finish her words.

The next moment, the melodious sound of the harp sounded again.

When she was at a loss, the blood-red in front of her eyes faded.

When her vision was restored, Xia found herself standing on the stage.

Next to her was the delivery bed, and on the delivery bed, the woman with a blurred face was looking at her with a pleading expression.

She was... going to play the mother of the mountains?

She looked down at the stage in horror, but there was no one in the audience now.

Xia immediately realized something and looked at the knight in front of her. It was a familiar face.

While Xia was frightened, Li Feng also found himself kneeling in front of the delivery bed on the stage after the blood-red in front of his eyes faded.

And not only that.

Just like the actor who played the knight just now, he was holding a sharp dagger in his hand, full of piety and awe.

Li Feng: ? ? ? !

Suddenly I remembered the words on the invitation letter——

"Please watch your performance at midnight."

'Mine? You mean you have to watch and act? This...'

Looking at the dagger that was out of my control but was raised by me.

'Am I going to play the knight? And Xia plays the mother of the mountains? '

Thinking of the actor who played the knight just now, the self-castration and heart-wrenching performance, Li Feng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

The sound of the harp sounded again, and the performance had begun.

'What should I do? '

In fear, Li Feng felt his whole body sink, as if he was weightless.

When he opened his eyes again, the snow-white ceiling, the soft night light, the heavy blackout curtains, the comfortable bed...

At the same time, the system prompt appeared in front of him.

[The fifth cycle ends, all players return to the player world, and the sixth cycle begins. ]
