After being hit in the face by the system, I swapped bodies with Zhongli

Even after the restart, Yuan Zhuoyue only got a moment of peace, waiting for those [filthy] forces to be attracted to her and approach her.

After merging with her, the 'past' that had been 'lost' temporarily also followed her like a shadow.

It took root in her flesh, blood and soul, used her as nourishment, grew and spread, and eventually became lush and flourishing.

Perhaps one day, after years of rapid development and the passage of time,

The new marks will gradually cover the old marks, making the deep grooves gradually become smooth.

The pain is no longer so sharp when it comes into contact with the skin, and it becomes just a faint visible mark.

But no matter what, all of this is by no means a small gap that can be easily crossed for Yuan Zhuoyue.

Morax also clearly sensed that Yuan Zhuoyue chose to escape. She rarely mentioned the memories that were gradually resurfacing, and when she occasionally talked about them, they were not those profound and painful experiences.

She avoided talking about the sufferings of the past and would not mention them deliberately. It was as if she chose to bury the past calmly and seal it in her memory.

As long as the storm has not yet arisen and blown away the dust covering it, she can pretend for the time being that she has not seen the dark clouds buried underneath.

While he was still able to control himself, he faced Morax more calmly, and maintained the stability of the world he cared about with this ally he had been entangled with for a long time.

Perhaps such peace will be broken one day, but when the alliance is formed, the interests of both parties can be maintained tacitly like now and will not be harmed.

No matter what the future holds, they hope that the "project" they are maintaining now can continue to run stably.

Not to mention the inevitable disputes and frictions, at least in the general direction, their goals remain consistent.

Even though Yuan Zhuoyue felt that he was too tolerant and accommodating at many moments, he was still unwilling to break the current peace.

It was as if if she didn't make everything clear, she could pretend that everything was the same as usual. Maybe it was self-deception, but Yuan Zhuoyue was still happy to deceive herself like this.

Yuan Zhuoyue felt as if he had fallen into a long dream.

The cold and strange aura enveloped her body, making him unable to help but stand.

But her mind was stagnant, as if covered by a layer of barrier, making her thoughts stagnate and difficult to think.

There was a mocking sound, coming from somewhere, the sound was hazy and difficult to distinguish.

It sounded like a person shouting loudly, or perhaps a shrill scream, or perhaps the roar of a wild beast.

Yuan Zhuoyue found it difficult to tell. Thinking was already an extremely difficult thing for her, and her mind was blank.

She felt as if she was staggering forward, as if there were faint shadowy figures supporting her.

But it seemed as if she was being chased by those shadows, stumbling and fleeing in a hurry.

It felt like my feet were stepping on mud covered with dead branches and leaves, and strange and eerie sounds were heard one after another.

She seemed to be stepping on the rotten and smelly mud with varying depths, but also seemed to be stuck in something sticky, twisted, and slowly wriggling.

The cold water came from nowhere and gradually spread, soon easily submerging her ankles.

The cold feeling was like a sharp needle pricking her skin, but it did not wake her up. Instead, it caused her to feel boundless panic.

Yuan Zhuoyue felt as if she was running, but the rapidly rising water level still inevitably tripped her up.

The water level had already submerged half of her body, and the buoyancy it brought, as well as the slippery and sticky feeling under her feet that came from nowhere, made her body finally difficult to stabilize, and she almost fell into the cold water.

Suddenly she felt her wrist being held, and the warmth was transmitted from her wrist, dispelling the cold air surrounding her.

It seemed that because of this, the unspeakable fear dissipated a lot in an instant.

The cold water that had come from nowhere and almost drowned her also dissipated at this moment.

The first thing Yuan Zhuoyue saw was the warm light of the candle, and then he saw the eyebrows and eyes that were dyed by the warm halo, as if they were the eyes of a god.

Those eyes, as gorgeous as amber, were as calm as a mirror, clearly reflecting her panic-stricken and embarrassed appearance.

But strangely, Yuan Zhuoyue still couldn't see clearly her own reflection in his eyes.

Yuan Zhuoyue was involuntarily attracted by such a pair of eyes, as if bewitched, and took a step forward.

It seemed as if he wanted to get closer and see more clearly.

But she suddenly stopped again. The inexplicable palpitations made her stop what she was doing, and then the thorny sensation enveloped her all of a sudden.

It seemed as if it was constantly sending her danger signals, urging her to escape quickly.

At this moment, the figure in front of her that made her feel at ease suddenly seemed to have a dangerous aura. His calm and bright eyes also became distorted along with his eyebrows.

The instinct to escape from danger made her take action subconsciously. She pushed away the person in front of her and tightly grasped the hand on her wrist.

Trying to avoid danger by running away.

But in just a moment, she suddenly saw the water that had already submerged her waist and abdomen. Without the help from others, it was impossible for her to stabilize her body in such a situation.

In the end, Yuan Zhuoyue was unstoppable and fell into the icy waters that appeared again, still coming from nowhere.

Yuan Zhuoyue suddenly opened his eyes from the bed, sat up and gasped for breath, his mind still filled with these chaotic dream fragments.

It took her a while to calm her breathing, but when she thought about it carefully, she could no longer remember what she had seen in her dream that made her so nervous and frightened.

But Yuan Zhuoyue did not take it lightly.

For ordinary people, a nightmare may just be a simple dream.

But for an individual like her who has already left the realm of humanity, it is very likely that she has already had a vague premonition of something, which is why this dream hint appeared.

Yuan Zhuoyue, who had just woken up from a dream and whose mind was still a little confused, almost subconsciously groped around, trying to find any trace of Morax.

But in the end, she found nothing. The bedding beside her was already cold. Morax had left her side at some point and no longer stayed by her side stubbornly as he had before.
