‘I’ll be damned! I’m eating breakfast!’
‘Ugh! I’m going to throw up the congee I drank this morning!’
‘This is the disgusting cellar my classmate told me about where they keep pretty girls?’
‘Wang Jiaying, you have no heart! You tricked me into a cellar for a 1v5!’
...
The viewers stared intently, venting their rage after being mentally defiled.
“Tsk tsk...”
“Chains, cellars, tentacles...”
Mo Zhi smiled wickedly, murmuring keywords like ‘bondage play,’ ‘role-playing,’ and ‘maiden’s prison’ repeatedly.
Various images flashed through her mind.
Looking at the [Swollen Demon Eye] again, the creature now seemed almost delicate.
She had seen hypnosis before, but never hypnosis using butter to overcome mental pollution.
Now, in Mo Zhi’s eyes, the [Swollen Demon Eye] was a pitiful, white-haired girl, bound by chains and clad in rags.
Therefore, she could look directly at the big-eyed monster.
Her combat style was sharp and precise. She utilized the stairs to set up various traps and turret fire.
The [Swollen Demon Eye] was quickly defeated by Mo Zhi.
The viewers immediately sent gifts, their great reduction in mental torment earning Mo Zhi their praise.
A reward was definitely in order!
“You guys are too kind!”
“This guy looked fierce, but fighting it was quite easy.”
Mo Zhi thanked her viewers with a smile while picking up equipment.
Arriving at the [Sleeping Sanctuary] again, the One-Punch Man provided some obstruction, but Mo Zhi managed to push through using the health potions accumulated from the previous stages.
“Good luck.”
Mo Zhi’s eyes lit up when she saw the healing pool in the rest area.
As the difficulty increased, healing pools were no longer present between every stage but appeared only after several maps.
After replenishing her health, Mo Zhi unlocked a new map, [Forgotten Tomb].
Exiting the door, Mo Zhi saw a strangely shaped creature at the end of the light source. It had a human upper body and the body of a bull or horse – rather peculiar.
“This guy looks a bit weird, let me take another look.” Mo Zhi walked towards the creature. “I’ll call you Little Ox-Horse, okay?”
Seeing Little Ox-Horse, the viewers’ imaginations ran wild.
‘Everyone, I have a question…’
‘Everyone, I have a bold idea…’
‘Everyone, I’ve tried your ideas, and they’re very… smooth!’
‘Everyone, you are all uniquely talented individuals!’
‘Everyone, round them all up and take them away, not a single one is innocent.’
...
“You must be the anomaly she was searching for,” Little Ox-Horse addressed Mo Zhi as she approached. “O fallen one, your exploration has reached the depths below.”
“The path you have chosen is shrouded in darkness... The light of the guardian stone pillars will protect you,” Little Ox-Horse mused to itself, then posed a rhetorical question, “But how long can it protect you?”
“Behind you, that big bright light! It’s right there!” its emotions suddenly became unusually excited.
It was then that Mo Zhi noticed the cell person had broken free from her control and was starting to communicate with Little Ox-Horse.
He first pointed at the glowing stone pillar, then at Little Ox-Horse, and finally spread his hands.
Mo Zhi couldn’t understand what was happening during their divine communion between the ox-horse.
Little Ox-Horse responded with the following six points: “……”
Finally, Mo Zhi regained control of the cell person.
She surveyed the environment within the tomb. The walls illuminated by the light source seemed to contain some massive patterns.
They appeared to be murals.
She assumed the murals in the tomb contained some scattered information, but Mo Zhi didn’t spend much time on it.
The plot and clues of the entire cell world were too fragmented for her to collect.
She was unable to piece them together to construct a complete story.
Here, she only felt a deep sense of oppression and a strange, eerie flow of time.
This was a sick world; the sewers were filled with green liquid, and all sorts of snakes, insects, rats, and ants had mutated into deformed monsters, even the [Swollen Demon Eye], a disgusting creature whose origin was unknown.
Perhaps it was related to the secret of her constant rebirth, who knew?
Mo Zhi stopped dwelling on it.
She would honestly wait for the professional big shots online to release summary and analysis videos.
It wasn’t that she was lazy,
It was just that there was too little useful information in “Cells,” and even less character dialogue. No, to be precise, the protagonist, the cell person, only communicated one-sidedly.
This was because the cell person had no head.
Remembering this dark humor joke, Mo Zhi looked at the greatsword in her hand. The old woman’s death had indeed been quite bizarre.
At first, she didn’t understand what Little Ox-Horse had told her at the beginning, but as the game progressed.
Mo Zhi gradually understood.
It turned out that this stage had a new mechanic: fear of the dark. If you stayed out of the light for more than 12 seconds, your life would begin to drain, faster and faster.
This could be fatal. Entering a light source would nullify it. The glowing stone pillars at the entrance, for instance, were sources of infinite sustenance.
Initially, Mo Zhi didn’t feel it, but as her health bar visibly diminished over time.
She finally realized something was wrong and screamed, “This darkness is poisonous, run!”
Mo Zhi’s fingers moved rapidly, controlling the cell person to run towards the stone pillars at the entrance.
‘So that’s why I kept losing health in this stage, I see!’
‘I was stuck here too!’
‘Streamer, you can buy an equipment called ‘Night Light,’ it can extend your time in the darkness.’
...
“Wow, there’s a sneak attack hiding in the darkness!” Mo Zhi was startled by a sudden attack while fleeing, her health plummeting.
As if I’d let you leave just because you came!
How could the [Dark Assailant] easily let her go?
Not only that, but in the interplay of light and shadow, there were also spinning Axe Brothers and self-destructing bats lurking ominously.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Mo Zhi drank a health potion to replenish her status, fighting and moving as she went, barely clinging to one-third of her health to reach the entrance.
Upon encountering the light, her health bar instantly stabilized.
“Interesting.”
Seeing this, Mo Zhi smiled faintly, “I really don’t know how the genius little brain of that old scoundrel came up with such bizarre and torturous little mechanics and small monsters.”
“Counting them, I’ve encountered at least a hundred monsters with different attack patterns, elite monsters, and weapons. I myself have tried no less than fifty of them.”
“Not to mention the traps and this dark draining mechanism, each one more sinister than the last. Those aren’t poison water in the sewers, they’re clearly my tears!”
Mo Zhi couldn’t help but laugh at herself as she spoke, “I suspect that old scoundrel is training me to be more masochistic. What do I do if I’m starting to enjoy this feeling?”
Mo Zhi wasn’t lying. After being killed in the [Forgotten Tomb], she actually charged back here with a smile.
The viewers were all stunned, you can’t be serious, can you?
However,
When they reached the [Clock Room] after passing through the [Forgotten Tomb] and faced the upgraded [Time Guardian].
The primal, ape-like demeanor put their hearts at ease.
“Again!”
But for now, Mo Zhi was still suffering with a smile in the tomb, showing no signs of regression.
Soon...
It wasn’t until twenty minutes later that the smiling Mo Zhi arrived at the [Clock Room], facing the [Time Guardian] once more!
This time,
The mute one spoke.
“Thief!”
