Chapter 69 Safety
Chapter 69: Safety

Time goes back to when Bai Yanliang and the other two just entered the woods.

One person's sense of direction being wrong might be an accident, but three people's sense of direction being wrong at the same time must mean that something is wrong.

After realizing that he was lost, Yu Hanzhou immediately took out a knife and made a mark on the tree.

But... the moment he touched the tree trunk, Yu Hanzhou felt a pair of pitch-black eyes staring at him from somewhere.

Yu Hanzhou was alert in his heart, but did not dare to look for the source of the gaze.

After that... Huang Yourong appeared. He thought that Huang Yourong was targeting Su Qian... but he didn't know that he had already touched the taboo.

……

Let’s talk about Li Mu.

After discovering Yu Hanzhou's body, Li Mu felt a chill all over his body. Yu Hanzhou was already dead... Then the Yu Hanzhou who appeared in front of him was indeed...

He rushed forward in one step. Li Mu didn't dare to look back and could only run forward desperately!
This was not his first time to carry out a survival mission, and he knew very well... If trees were one of the taboos, then new changes must have occurred after the appearance of "Yu Hanzhou".

Yu Hanzhou's death was exactly the same as Cheng Zhipeng's, but why was Cheng Zhipeng killed?
Going out at night?
He couldn't find the answer for the time being, but he could set a range for himself.

That is... the tree cannot be touched or talked about.

Dark places, or places where there are shadows, must never be entered!

He was in great danger at the moment. Yu Hanzhou, Tian Dawei, He Miao, Chen Qingshan, and Sun Liang, a total of five people, had been switched by the devil.

This is unprecedented. Even in a survival mission, there are too many ghosts, so many that it is bizarre.

Did some strange changes happen to Wu Ji, or is there a hidden connection that has not been found...

There are currently five ghosts appearing in the woods.

And... they are all targeting me.

The Haunter in the survival mission is indeed the most deadly identity.

If this continues, he will definitely be the next to die.

If you want to survive, you have to find out all the taboos, or... use the rules to eliminate them fundamentally.

Li Mu was running wildly on the sunshine while thinking frantically.

He turned his head slightly and looked behind him out of the corner of his eye, but...

Something even more terrifying happened.

Five people... followed him silently, only a body length away from Li Mu!

They stared at Li Mu with a half-smile in their eyes, and didn't seem to run away, just following him in a strange way.

This inhuman gaze made Li Mu shudder.

Rules…Rules…

What taboos are there in the Snow Village that even ghosts can't touch?
Yu Hanzhou survived the last mission because of Qi Nian, and the explanation that time was, "Don't open your eyes when you see the mirror, and don't look back when you call me softly..."

The taboos were made clear to everyone.

Just by using Su Qian's call, almost everyone broke the taboo from the beginning...

And Qi Nian, at the critical moment of life and death, actually thought about whether ghosts would also follow Jie Yu's words, and as a result... she made the right bet.

The understanding contained in the fog is not only directed at humans, but also at... ghosts.

It is the rule that overrides all others.

But this time, the solution was to sacrifice blood without intention...

From any perspective, this doesn't seem like a taboo, it seems to be just a simple descriptive language.

Li Mu's forehead was sweating.

He has very good physical strength. In fact, after entering Wu Ji, he has been consciously exercising his body in reality. Not only him, but most people do the same.

But... no matter how much training one does, humans are still humans after all, and their physical strength will be exhausted sooner or later. Once their physical strength is exhausted... these ghosts will...

Wait! Li Mu's eyes lit up.

He slowed down a little, looked back, and found that they were still one body length away from him.

But this time... Li Mu was not afraid, instead his eyes became brighter.

The evil ghost is actually chasing me in human ways?

They didn't show any strange abilities at all, such as suddenly appearing in front of me...

Moreover, judging from their speed, it would not be difficult for them to catch up with or even surpass him, but... why are they still following him obediently?

No… they had been following him from the beginning.

Is it simply to cause him great psychological pressure?
No...something must be wrong.

Ghosts won't do meaningless things, so...what is the purpose of them doing this?
Li Mu was frantically squeezing his thoughts. He felt vaguely that he seemed to be grasping something crucial...

Following behind...

Why is the ghost following me?

Surveillance?

Moreover... the heads of Yu Hanzhou and Cheng Zhipeng's bodies were strangely twisted behind their backs. Was this just a random act of the ghost, or... was there another deeper meaning?
Li Mu’s mind raced, finally!
A flash of inspiration came to his mind.

correct!

The way out is here!

He stopped abruptly and turned to face the five evil spirits who had made no effort to conceal their malicious intent.

Then... walked over!
……

The end of the village.

Su Qian looked at the village in front of her blankly.

Out?
Really came out?

"Huang Yourong" did not take action?
"What exactly is going on……"

Su Qian murmured as she watched Bai Yanliang walk straight towards Huang Yourong, and then... pass straight through his body!

Su Qian had no other choice but to bite the bullet and imitate Bai Yanliang's actions, closing her eyes and rushing forward with the determination to die.

However... at the moment of passing through Huang Yourong's body, it was as if something was pierced. Although the surrounding scenery did not change,... it finally stopped strangely returning to the starting point.

Now, she followed Bai Yanliang out of the woods!

"There is an old saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place." Bai Yanliang glanced at Su Qian and said lightly.

Although he walked out of the woods, Bai Yanliang did not feel relaxed, because the sky was beginning to darken...night...was coming.

The night in Wuji Village is an obvious taboo, and Cheng Zhipeng proved this with his life.

At this time, Su Qian, who heard Bai Yanliang's voice, finally understood what he meant, but the tone of his question became more and more incredible.

"You mean... the ghost following us is the real way?"

Bai Yanliang nodded.

"From the moment it appeared, it seemed that it had no intention of hiding its identity as a ghost, but it just followed us slowly without any unnecessary movements. There is only one possibility, that is, it wants to kill people, and all it needs to do is follow us." Bai Yanliang said, looking back at the woods.

"I still... don't quite understand..." Su Qian didn't dare to look at Bai Yanliang. She even felt that maybe she was too stupid?
"When ordinary people know there is a ghost behind them, they will not choose to face it, let alone approach, touch, or pass through its body. Therefore, it only needs to stand behind us to block the only way to survive. After that, no matter which direction we go, we will gradually touch upon various taboos and then be killed by it." Bai Yanliang rarely said so many words.

"So... the way to survive is so simple... the most dangerous place is the safest place..." Su Qian finally understood what Bai Yanliang said, but she didn't dare to fully believe it would be so simple.

At this time, footsteps were heard in the woods.

At the same time, a man's voice sounded: "It's really simple. The most dangerous place is the safest place. But...how many people have the courage to go to the most dangerous place?"

Su Qian looked in the direction of the voice, and when she saw the person coming out, she couldn't help but exclaimed with joy: "Li Mu!"
