Chapter 62: The Maze
Chapter 62: The Maze

"Crack...crack..."

An old cell phone rolled to the ground, lying between Yu Sheng and the evil spirit.

At this time, its hand was very close to Yu Sheng's throat!
Yu Sheng subconsciously closed his eyes again.

Then... she just stood there for a few breaths... nothing happened.

Yu Sheng opened her eyes, and the evil ghost that was supposed to stand in front of her actually disappeared!
Yu Sheng felt relieved, and a strong feeling of tiredness surged into her heart. She could no longer hold on and her brain felt dizzy.

But at this moment, her eyes were brighter than ever before.

Because...she made the right bet...

She finally knew what the ghost's abilities were.

……

Bai Yanliang suddenly stopped and turned to look behind him.

He seemed to have vaguely heard something letting out a shrill howl.

A moment later, two figures actually walked out of the village.

"Mr. Bai!"

Yu Hanzhou and Su Qian walked over from a distance, and when they saw Bai Yanliang, they shouted.

"Are you going to the sacrificial site in the back mountain too?" Yu Hanzhou asked curiously.

Bai Yanliang nodded and said, "Did you two find anything else?"

Su Qian shook her head. She first glanced at Yu Hanzhou, then said, "We found out... from last year's Homecoming Ceremony to now, a total of thirteen people have died..."

"Thirteen?"

Bai Yanliang frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Yu Hanzhou and Su Qian looked at each other, somewhat confused.

"Nothing... I just feel like something is wrong." Bai Yanliang shook his head. This was a very mysterious thought and he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Is that so? Well... let's put this matter aside for now and go to the back mountain together." Yu Hanzhou invited.

Bai Yanliang naturally did not refuse.

The three of them followed the path and came to the end of the village.

Before my eyes was an ancient forest, the deep part of it seemed to be covered with a black veil, making it difficult to see clearly. Apart from the rustling of branches in the wind, there was no other sound in this forest.

Yu Hanzhou shuddered inexplicably and felt something was not right.

"This forest... is so strange..."

Su Qian also expressed her feelings.

She couldn't tell what was strange, but... her body was telling her that it was best not to go in.

Bai Yanliang squatted down, touched the ground, and looked up into the depths of the woods.

"Even if it's strange, we have to go in."

Bai Yanliang stood up, dusted off his hands and said.

Yu Hanzhou and Su Qian naturally knew what he meant.

Many times, there is no choice in the fog set.

Even though they knew where the danger was, they were unable to avoid it. The fog... seemed to be forcing them to face those terrifying things.

The three of them looked at each other and slowly walked into the woods.

At this time... suddenly fog came up...

The road into the woods disappeared quietly and the surroundings became foggy.

"Let's get closer. This place... is too quiet." Yu Hanzhou said as he moved closer to Su Qian.

Bai Yanliang raised his head and looked at the sky which was mostly blocked by branches and leaves.

He suddenly stopped and said, "Wait."

"what happened?"

Su Qian looked at him puzzledly.

Yu Hanzhou touched the tree trunk with an unpleasant expression and said, "We seem to be... lost."

There was a fresh mark carved on the tree trunk, which was the mark he had just made.

Bai Yanliang looked serious. He had an incredibly good memory and a good sense of direction.

It is extremely difficult to make him lost.

But... just now he didn't feel that the three of them were going around in circles at all, until he saw with his own eyes the mark that Yu Hanzhou had made earlier.

There's a ghost here...

Moreover, this ghost was able to deceive his senses.

"what sound?"

At this moment, some noises suddenly came from the depths of the fog ahead.

Su Qian looked over there vigilantly, and saw... a hazy human figure slowly emerging from the mist.

"Who?"

Yu Hanzhou took a step forward and stood in front of Su Qian.

The man didn't say anything after hearing this, but gradually approached the three people.

Bai Yanliang and the other two were immediately nervous.

Something is wrong. There is something so wrong with this figure.

But... as the distance got closer, the person's appearance gradually became clearer.

Until...his figure was completely revealed.

"Brother Huang?"

Su Qian was the first to recognize him. The person who walked out of the fog was actually Huang Yourong!

However, at the same time, two voices sounded almost simultaneously:
"go!"

Bai Yanliang and Yu Hanzhou each grabbed one hand of Su Qian, who didn't know what was going on, and ran away!

After Su Qian ran for a few steps, she finally reacted. She widened her eyes and looked back slightly.

She saw that "Huang Yourong" was staring at her expressionlessly and chasing them at a very fast speed!
And without knowing when, the surrounding environment has quietly changed.

The ground began to crack, rot, and become bumpy and uneven.

A stale, rotten smell kept coming out of the cracked ground, a strong fishy smell that made people feel sour in their stomachs.

What happened, what happened suddenly?
Su Qian's mind was at a loss, but... Yu Hanzhou and Bai Yanliang had some guesses.

Something must have been triggered just now to cause such a drastic change.

Or maybe... someone is having a head-on conflict with a ghost, causing these changes in the forest?
Either way, it's dangerous here now!
They all always remember that this is a survival mission. The evil spirit will not have any logical weaknesses. The only things that can restrict it, or... destroy it, are the rules!

That deeply hidden rule!

It may be hidden in the deciphered language, or it may be hidden in the process of exploration. Whether one can find the only true way to survive, there is only one thing that one can rely on... the brain.

Wu Ji doesn't have any magic or magic skills. If he wants to survive... he can only drain his physical and mental strength and squeeze his will to survive to the limit!

Only in this way... can we find that glimmer of hope!
The three men moved quickly, but the sound of pursuit behind them was also fast!

As time went by, the cracks in the ground became more and more serious, and the stench of decay became stronger.

"We can't go on like this. Sooner or later the three of us will be caught up by it." Bai Yanliang said quickly.

It was actually a very stupid thing to speak while running vigorously, but... he had to speak now.

"what do you mean?"

"Run separately, whoever survives is the best."

Bai Yanliang said calmly.

Yu Hanzhou's expression changed wildly. The evil ghost behind him did not catch them instantly, but chose to chase them... This shows that it cannot move instantly, and... its speed is not incredibly fast.

So what exactly is its strange ability?

While Yu Hanzhou's brain was working rapidly, Su Qian suddenly said, "I agree. Let's run separately."

　I'm back to my hometown now. I've been accompanying the elderly at home these days and have a lot of things to do. I'll update as usual after the New Year. I wish you all a happy new year and lots of red envelopes!
