Chapter 171 Mission
Chapter 171 Mission

"Hide and seek."

“It’s hard to tell the real from the fake, the true from the false.”

"At the fourth time point, at midnight, we will go to the Xinyue Department Store in the western suburbs of Yecheng and play a game of hide-and-seek. Each person will play the role of a ghost once, and the game will last until six in the morning."

The three lines of words from top to bottom, from short to long, completely stunned everyone.

How is this going? !
"This...what does this mean? The 4th time node, isn't that tomorrow? Wu Ji didn't send us back to the past world, but issued a future mission?" Zhou Li still couldn't believe his eyes.

It wasn't just him, the others were just as confused and shocked as he was.

But at this moment, Bai Yanliang's focus was always on Feng Xiuxue. As another survivor of "Wu Ji", she should be very clear about Wu Ji's changes in each stage.

However...if Feng Xiuxue was not acting, she would also be shocked at this moment!
Bai Yanliang had been paying attention to her little movements and subtle expressions. When she saw the bloody words appearing in the void, the deep confusion shown in her slightly contracted pupils did not seem fake.

She doesn't know why this is happening!

"So." At this time, Song Que suddenly spoke, he looked at Bai Yanliang and the others, "We have to rush to the western suburbs of Yecheng before midnight tomorrow night, find the Xinyue Department Store, and then... play hide-and-seek?"

"Damn it, I'm in Beicheng, and it'll take at least a day and a night to get to Yecheng by train!" Yuan Jie said with a frown, biting his thumb.

"If you take a plane, it only takes an hour." Feng Xiuxue said. She has been flying between cities for a long time and knows it very well.

"But, what is going on? Why did Wu Ji suddenly issue this kind of task?" Li Yuejun secretly glanced at Bai Yanliang, feeling a little worried about him.

Li Mu shook his head: "Now is not the time to delve into why Wu Ji has changed like this. We should think of a way to get through this difficult time together. Thirteen people have already died inexplicably in reality. We...can't lose any more people."

"What Li Mu said is right." Du Shangjing came out. He was in a very bad state, almost as exhausted as Li Mu. "This mission takes place in reality. It is a good thing that it will be carried out tomorrow. At least, we have enough time to prepare, and... in reality, we can even provide help through phone calls and other means."

Feng Xiuxue curled her lips, seeming a little disdainful, but... after she glanced at Bai Yanliang, she frowned again.

Although she didn't want to help, if Bai Yanliang was really going to die in this mission, she would do her best to help him.

Because... Bai Yanliang hasn't got the key yet.

"In short, those who are not in Yecheng should hurry to Yecheng as soon as possible. I think everyone knows what will happen if you fail to arrive on time."

Li Mu's words are very pertinent and he himself is quite prestigious.

But at this moment, Bai Yanliang was thinking about another thing, Yecheng...

He suddenly realized that more and more strange things were happening in Ye City. Is there something strange about Ye City?

Thinking of the weirdness, Bai Yanliang couldn't help but think of the three forbidden areas in Yecheng that had become like urban legends.

Guishou Mountain, Xiaqiao Street, Tufeng Training Hospital.

The last trace of his brother Bai Yanren was at Guishou Mountain, which seemed to indirectly confirm a certain statement. The missing Ren Wudao and the man in black who met him mentioned Xiaqiao Street, which was obviously not groundless.

In short, after this mission, he should immediately go to Xiaqiao Street to look for Ren Wudao's whereabouts. By then, he will naturally know what is there.

"What do you think about this interpretation of the language?" Zhou Li looked at the other five people around him, his eyes mainly on Bai Yanliang and Qi Nian.

In his opinion, these two people are the more reliable ones. Yang Muwan's temperament is too weak. Because the mission this time has changed so much, she seems to be a little overwhelmed.

Yuan Jie was a little neurotic. He kept biting his thumb and mumbling something to himself, and it was hard to hear clearly.

And Song Que looked arrogant.

After thinking about it, the only people I can really discuss with are Bai Yanliang and Qi Nian.

However, before Bai Yanliang and Qi Nian answered, Song Que spoke first.

"Don't you understand yet? Mr. Zhou, you are an old man. After being in Wuji for so long, have you learned to ask others questions?" Song Que said with his chin raised.

"Hmph, what do you think?" Zhou Li had a good temper. He was not angry with Song Que at the moment. In his opinion, Song Que was just a rich kid who lived too smoothly.

"It's very simple..." Song Que flicked the coin up and quickly caught it, revealing the flower side.

"One of the six of us is a ghost in disguise. Maybe... someone was replaced from the moment we entered Wu Ji." His eyes slowly swept across the faces of Bai Yanliang and the others. "One person has died at the hands of a ghost in reality, so... who is it?"

He spoke jokingly and didn't seem to care.

But Bai Yanliang, who observed him carefully, noticed that Song Que's eyes were always calm. The arrogance on his face and the sternness in his eyes made him look like two different people.

But when Song Que expressed his thoughts, everyone changed their minds and couldn't help but distance themselves from each other.

Although his expression was hateful, what he said did make sense...

This was the first time that Wu Ji described the mission content so clearly. In the past, it was just a simple explanation. But in the description of the mission, they needed to go to the Crescent Department Store in the western suburbs of Yecheng at midnight to play a game of hide-and-seek. Each person would play the role of a ghost and the game would last until six in the morning.

Each person plays a ghost once...

Just the idea of ​​being a "ghost" makes people feel a little scared.

Moreover, the mission does not clearly state what the consequences of being found by the "ghost" are, but everyone has some guesses.

Now that Song Qunjie had pointed this out, everyone, including Bai Yanliang, had a clear idea.

Tomorrow at midnight, when the game begins, after everyone has played their roles in the first round, whoever is willing to be a "ghost" has a high probability of being the real ghost.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that one of the six people has turned into a ghost at this moment.

Suspicious looks were testing each other, which was contrary to Bai Yanliang's original idea.

It now seems that it will be impossible for everyone to cooperate with each other and find a way out tomorrow.

No one knows whether the other party is a ghost, and Bai Yanliang has an even worse guess.

Everyone must play the role of a ghost once, and the person playing the ghost needs to find hiding people in the department store.

But are they really the only six people in the department store?
