Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 944 - 654: Shadow! (Part 3)

"No." Li Zheng thought carefully and said, "They are acting together, looking out for each other, so I don't have to worry about their safety. If there's an emergency, they will wait for me when they come back."

While talking, the two arrived before the Teleportation Gate.

"Which Sin Domain are you planning to go to?" Li Zheng asked, "I've been to the Fourth Sin Domain, resources are very scarce there, I suggest you choose another place."

Zhan Zhouzhou said coldly, "I want to go to a Sin Domain where fights happen frequently."

Frequent fights?

"You want to quickly familiarize yourself with your current strength through battles, right?" After careful thought, Li Zheng recommended, "The First Sin Domain is Arrogance, it might have quite a few minor conflicts; the Second Sin Domain is Greed, the frequency of battles should be high; the Sixth Sin Domain is Anger..."

"Let's go to Anger." Zhan Zhouzhou immediately went forward, interacted with the Intelligent Humanoid of the Teleportation Gate, paid the teleportation fee, and directly walked into the gate.

"Tsk..." Li Zheng scratched his head, "Did this girl eat gunpowder today? Why is she speaking so sharply?"

Going to the Anger Sin Domain with this attitude isn't ideal...

He also paid the fee, following closely in Zhan Zhouzhou's footsteps as he entered the Teleportation Gate.

The scenery changed before him, and Li Zheng arrived in a dim environment again, but this time it wasn't the canyon terrain of the Fourth Sin Domain, but a vast plain.

Zhan Zhouzhou was a short distance from the Teleportation Gate, not wearing Concealing Clothing, walking alone into the distance.

Li Zheng frowned, a trace of anger surged within him, feeling that Zhan Zhouzhou's sudden mood swing towards him was utterly baffling.

The next second, he was startled, and quickly used his Spiritual Power to calm his emotions.

"Damn, Anger seems to have a high resonance with me, even though I was mentally prepared, I was still unknowingly affected!" Li Zheng quickly donned the Concealing Clothing and caught up to Zhan Zhouzhou.

Passing a stone tablet, he glanced at it, where the rules of the Anger Sin Domain were inscribed.

First: Must wear Concealing Clothing at all times; replace if damaged!

Second: Do not engage with others in any form, including eye contact, unless necessary!

Third: Discard notions of provocation inherent in one's race, the same actions might not have the same meaning for other races!

Fourth: Battles with shadow creatures must not exceed three minutes; if not resolved in three minutes, quickly retreat and return to the gathering area to soothe emotions!

Fifth: Everyone must use a fictional identity for all communications, do not reveal real names, race, or any genuine information!

Sixth: No congregating in groups!

Seventh: To be added...

"So many rules in Anger Sin Domain, more than the Fourth Sin Domain!" Li Zheng memorized all the rules, knowing each rule was born from painful lessons.

Catching up to Zhan Zhouzhou, Li Zheng grabbed her, "Wait a moment..."

Zzzt!

Electric light flickered; a Purple Thunder Longsword appeared at his throat, Zhan Zhouzhou's expression cold, "Don't touch me!"

Whenever she gets angry, she becomes extremely cold, keeping everyone at bay.

Li Zheng frowned, "In your current condition, you could easily be corrupted by the Sin Domain into an infected entity. Once that happens, it's hard to bring you back. I don't want to have to kill my own friends."

"Who needs your saving?"

Zhan Zhouzhou coldly spat a few words, but she still retracted the sword from Li Zheng's neck.

"Take it, put on the Concealing Clothing." Li Zheng handed her a hood, waited for her to put it on, then asked, "What's gotten into you today? Why are you so hot-tempered all of a sudden?"

"None of your damn business!" Zhan Zhouzhou turned to leave, not bothering to exchange words with Li Zheng.

"..."

Utterly baffling!

Li Zheng gritted his teeth, is it her time of the month?

I've heard that girls do become more irritable on special days.

Forget it, these are objective factors, can't blame her entirely.

No one is without a day of bad mood.

Li Zheng tilted his head in thought, "Could it be because I mentioned her family yesterday, making her homesick?"

Probably, after entering the Matrix, not a single relative is by her side, who wouldn't feel homesick after a long time?

Yesterday I really wasn't considerate, stupidly bringing up her father and grandfather, isn't that just making her feel worse?

Feeling a bit guilty, Li Zheng followed quietly behind Zhan Zhouzhou, not uttering a word, fearing he might annoy her.

If we're friends, of course, we should be more considerate, pushing oneself on someone in a bad mood is practically asking for trouble.

Walking quietly ahead and behind in the Anger Sin Domain, it's a flat plain, vast and empty, with only scattered buildings visible in the far distance.

Unlike the Fourth Sin Domain, to avoid unnecessary troubles, everyone consciously kept their distance from others, even the gathering area was stretched out along a longitudinal line, avoiding clustering.

After walking for some time, Zhan Zhouzhou seemed to calm down, slowing down to talk to Li Zheng, "Didn't you say there are shadow creatures in the Sin Domain? Why haven't we encountered any yet?"

She's still waiting for a fight, isn't this disappointing?

"The area closest to the Teleportation Gate has long been cleared out. You need to head deeper to encounter shadow creatures." Li Zheng repeated the information he received from Sang Biao and others: "But ahead is the Anger Sin Domain's gathering area; past there, with luck, you might encounter some scattered shadow creatures."

"So disappointing!" Zhan Zhouzhou couldn't help but pout, she thought the place would be swarming with shadow creatures, with intense battles right upon entry.

Li Zheng couldn't deny that he initially thought the same...

Seeing her current state was not bad, Li Zheng asked, "How are you feeling now? Is it difficult to resist environmental impact?"

Zhan Zhouzhou's Spiritual Power is not much higher than Mirel's, but Mirel at the Fourth Sin Domain initially couldn't adapt, while Zhan Zhouzhou here in the Anger Sin Domain had already walked quite some distance and seemed a bit more at ease.

"It's okay." Zhan Zhouzhou said truthfully, "Besides feeling like there's a ball of fire in my heart making me want to fight someone, there's no special feeling."

"That's good." Li Zheng nodded, his biggest concern was Zhan Zhouzhou not adjusting well to the state in the Anger Sin Domain, leading to severe erosion making her an infected entity.

"I..." Zhan Zhouzhou just started to say something, then suddenly turned and thrust her sword behind, "Who?!"

Li Zheng immediately turned to look, seeing the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword piercing precisely into the shadow behind Zhan Zhouzhou, the shadow erupted into twisted claws and transformed into a grotesque creature.

Li Zheng felt alarmed, when did this happen? He had been following closely, yet hadn't detected a thing.

Who could bypass his vigilance and plant the shadow onto Zhan Zhouzhou?

"Such sharp vigilance, such keen Perception." A ghostly voice appeared beside them, tinged with mockery, "Indeed worthy of being with him, quite capable."

Zhan Zhouzhou furrowed her eyebrows, cold eyes scanning the surroundings for the voice's source, "Who's the ghost? Have the guts to come out and speak!"

Li Zheng remained silent, released his Spiritual Power to trace the sound by his ear, and suddenly became shocked.

The source of the voice turned out to be his own shadow!
