The red light shocked everyone. The investigator in charge of registering people leaving the tower was very excited. He finally waited for these two people to set foot in the red area.
Wujiu didn't say a word. After the white mist was swallowed by the red light, he immediately followed.
"Do you want to go in?" Xie Xingzhi asked.
The red area is extremely dangerous even for the order group.
Bai Wu and Wu Jiu walked right in, as if this place was the same as the blue and white area, which made the three of them a little puzzled. Why were they so confident
Bai Wu and Wu Jiu were not confident, but Bai Wu knew in his heart that Hong Yin was someone who must be redeemed.
Cain showed a surprised smile. Both containers, whether Wujiu or Baiwu, had grown to the limit of human capabilities.
He didn't dare to step into the black area, nor did he believe that it was a place that humans could set foot in, so in his view, Bai Wu and Wu Jiu's actions were a state of "fruitfulness".
He followed in.
Yan Zizai found it incredible:
"Are the people of the Survey Corps so reckless?"
Xie Xingzhi said:
"This person is new. He was originally assigned to the security department of the third division of the Zhenyu Army. The data feedback of his companion force is the fourth stage and seventh stage. What about you?"
Xie Xingzhi's only talent sequence is weapon summoning, but he has a lot of black technology.
Most of the Xie family’s research still cannot be used outside the tower, but the configuration on the guardian is definitely the Xie family’s top configuration at present.
Yan Zizai, relying on the abilities of his two eyes, the Balance and the Insight, was also able to see the accompanying power and sequence on Cain.
"Same, I can understand why Gu Qingyu and Bai Wu dared to go to the red zone, but what right did Jiang Xuan have?"
Liu Hu said:
"I don't want to lose to those lowly people."
Liu Hu's hand touched the stone tablet.
Yan Zizai cursed inwardly, "What an idiot!" Liu Hu did have impressive strength and speed, but the degree of distortion in the red area could not be solved by strength alone.
As the captain of the order team, Yan Zizai is very rational.
When facing a red zone, you should at least have a basic sense of crisis and be cautious. You cannot think you can go in just because someone weaker than you has gone in.
"Forget it, let's go in. The Survey Corps does have provocative intentions. They leave the tower frequently, perhaps because they have some confidence. This is exactly what we need to monitor."
Xie Xingzhi is actually a very rational person, but his behavior at this moment seems a little strange in Yan Zizai's eyes. However, Yan Zizai still values the opinion of Xie Xingzhi as a transformed man.
"If it's a red zone, I tend not to go in. But since you think it's okay to go in, let's go together."
The red light appeared again.
…
…
Outside the tower, there is an unknown place.
When the red in his consciousness faded away, Bai Wu thought he would see the dead and desolate mountain village.
But when he opened his eyes, he found that there was no one else around, only pitch black.
With enhanced vision, he could see everything inside clearly in the dark.
The air was filled with a smell of decay, and those old jars and pots seemed to be filled with pickled goods that had long since turned into some strange thing.
Bai Wu looked around and found that he seemed to have entered the starting point of the scene... a cellar.
He began to use his eyes. He looked up. Since it was a cellar, there must be an entrance to the upper level.
What you see is not true, what you hear is an illusion, the key is penetrating the door, but you need to find the location of the door.
The familiar Riddler style made Bai Wu feel like he was carrying out a mission with his captain for the first time.
It was during that mission that I got to know Hong Yin.
"We need to find the captain first... It seems that we can't use our senses in this place."
Although the companion power does not focus on perception, Bai Wu is a high-level warrior after all.
He felt as if this was a place that could not be perceived by the power of companionship.
Then Bai Wu moved his hands and feet:
"Perception is blocked by something... but the other attributes of the companion force are not affected. The guardian of this area may be a monster skilled in mental power, and... it is not Hong Yin."
There can't be two tigers in one mountain.
This place originally had a guardian in the Zao Lake outside the mountain village. According to Bai Wu's judgment before, the monsters in Zao Lake seemed to dominate the monsters in the village.
After Hong Yin was brought here by the traveler, she began to protect those monsters.
At first glance, the camps were obvious, evil versus justice, and Hong Yin played the role of a righteous old Lolita. At least before Hong Yin left, Bai Wu could see this from the mental fluctuations he felt.
But Bai Wu felt that it was not that simple.
He saw the talisman papers scattered around the jars and pots in the cellar.
This is a thing to suppress evil spirits. It is said that sticking it on the forehead can prevent water ghosts from moving. Normally... this thing is useless. Water ghosts are evil. You can guess that the first person who used this talisman died miserably. How miserably? This thing is spiritual. Sticking it on the forehead of a water ghost can speed up the movement of the water ghost.
A black mist was emanating from the talisman paper.
Thinking about the owner of this cellar seven hundred years ago, holding a talisman in his hand, chanting an urgent order and then giving the enemy unit a violent buff, Bai Wu suddenly couldn't be serious anymore.
Even if the atmosphere seems weird.
The talisman paper is not used against water ghosts, but is useful for anything. Bai Wu picked up the talisman paper and put it away. He thought it might be useful later.
His eyes fell on the pots and pans:
By opening these jars, you can return to the city on the spot. Of course, you will not return to the tower, but you will be suffocated by the stench and return to Valhalla.
He instantly lost interest in the jars.
The exit of the cellar is just above the white fog and can be reached via the cellar stairs.
Bai Wu walked down the stairs and came to the partition in front of the exit, and saw a note stuck on it.
"Evil seal is removed, evil spirits are forbidden to enter."
The eight words on the note made Bai Wu ponder. The message on the note was very ordinary:
A door control talisman, false function: to dispel evil spirits, real function: to bring psychological comfort.
"It seems that there are many strange stories in this ancient village."
The ghost stories in the deserted village are naturally different from the campus ghost stories in Baichuan Middle School. They are more creepy.
Bai Wu had a premonition that the villagers that Hong Yin was protecting... might not all be good people.
He opened the partition door of the cellar and prepared to enter the rest room.
But as soon as the partition was pushed open, a pair of dark eyes looked at the white fog.
At this moment, Bai Wu was almost face to face with the "owner" of this gaze.
Weird blush, lifeless eyes, pale skin, this is an extremely lifelike paper figure.
The paper figure seemed to be pressed against the partition. It was like an evil spirit that was repelled by the talisman.
Bai Wu felt no fear, he just stared at the paper man face to face.
Do you think it is alive or dead? But whether it is alive or dead, it is afraid of fire. In addition, since you have no fear, you will not be afraid of its "hair", right
hair
Bai Wu then noticed that something was growing in the dark environment...
The paper man was clearly motionless, but there seemed to be something like hair slowly moving around.
The white mist pushed the paper figure away, very lightly, as if it had no weight at all. The paper figure was pushed away by the white mist and floated up, only the face was still staring at the white mist.
"It's pretty good. I don't know which chef made this. If I can get out of this mountain village with this skill, I can support myself."
He was not scared by the paper people, because after Bai Wu walked out of the cellar, he looked around and saw densely packed paper people all around him. The people who made them made them very lifelike.
The moonlight shone in, illuminating their pale skin and... clumps of "hair".
Bai Wu's eyes fell on the hair:
There are many kinds of resentment. You should know that this resentment is full of obsession with living people. It is not the same as the resentment of your poor little one. They are part of the lock. What you should focus on is the key.
This is a bedroom. Although there are many paper people lying on the bed and placed around, Bai Wu still noticed that there is an old-fashioned bed in the room, and the red bedding on the bed is strangely red.
Just cover it with a spirit object and you can experience the pleasure of sleep paralysis.
These are all the effects of the underworld spirits. Bai Wu felt that the owner of this house was quite pitiful.
This house is an old-style courtyard house, which is considered a wealthy family in the entire deserted village.
After all, the whole village gave him the feeling of a mountain village that was isolated from the outside world and had many strange traditions. Having a cellar and a yard was already a luxury.
Bai Wu looked around and found a note on a pearwood square table:
The incense, paper figurines, and meat and livestock offerings are ready, and the lake god will take them to ensure the safety of the villagers.
"There is a lake outside the mountain village, and there is an evil in the lake. The evil persecutes the people in the village. In order to prevent the people in the village from being persecuted, paper figures are made to please the evil in the lake?"
These are the existing clues that Bai Wu feels, but he always feels like something is missing.
"My eyes tell me to find the key... I'll go out and take a look first."
Bai Wu walked out of the room, and as he moved, the paper man's eyes also moved slowly.
Outside the house was a large courtyard. The courtyard was very spacious, and under the moonlight the whole village was pale blue, but in the thin black fog, it looked unusually strange.
Looking at the night sky, no information popped up in his eyes, which made Bai Wu suddenly alert. There were three more houses around, but Bai Wu did not wait and see.
He was somewhat anxious to find other people.
"That's weird. There's no sound at all... Where are the captain and the others?"
How are they doing now
Zao Lake, according to the information mentioned by the traveler, this place is the outskirts of a certain black and heavily distorted area.
Although it is still in the red zone, in Bai Wu's eyes, this place may be the closest to the "well".
Bai Wu was not sure who was the force behind the traveler, but what he was sure of was that the well did exist and the traveler had seen the guardian of the well.
It was this person who asked the travelers to look for various powerful potential evils to guard the outer area when the well was opened.
Bai Wu was not careless, because this might be the most twisted place he had ever set foot on.
The white fog came to the street. On the edge of the street, there were many "hairs" that grew like living things.
Bai Wu used his old method again and looked around:
He stood at the gate of the compound, with only two directions, north and south. He looked to the south:
You will pass by many strange houses, and different things are happening in each house. Some people are preparing paper figurines to please the "lake god", some are preparing funerals, but the people in the coffins are still alive... Some are preparing for weddings, and the bride and groom are worshiping heaven and earth. Maybe you will also see the old witch in the village dancing strange dances and performing some kind of rituals.
Bai Wu looked to the north, and something strange happened.
You will pass by many strange houses, and different things are happening in each house.

Some are preparing for weddings, and the bride and groom are worshiping heaven and earth. Maybe you will also see the old witch in the village dancing strange dances and performing some kind of rituals.
The scenes in the north and south are different, but the notes that Bai Wu sees are the same.
There are many houses in this village, and people in the houses are doing various things. Some are making paper figures, some are pretending to be dead, and some are planning to hold a wedding.
Bai Wu is now very worried about the captain and Hong Yin.
This place was clearly the number left by Hong Yin, but until now, he could not feel Hong Yin's presence at all.
To the north of the street is the lake, and Bai Wu decided to go to the north to take a look.
He walked along the street.
In the first mansion, the positions of the paper figures suddenly changed.
They were stacked densely at the door, looking at the white fog with creepy smiles on their faces.
The white fog soon passed the second house.
In the originally quiet environment, there was suddenly the sound of mournful music played by suona... This mournful music sounded like a woman crying, with a shrill voice.
But Bai Wu ignored it. There was no doubt that there were many exploration points in the entire village.
Certain secrets can be found in these exploration points, but now, Bai Wu is very worried about Wujiu.
The white fog passed the third room.
It was still the sound of the suona, but the sorrowful music had turned into joyful music.
The decoration of the two houses is also completely different. One house is decorated in white, and the other house is decorated in red.
Finally, Bai Wu was walking on the road... and met a "person".
She was wearing clothes covered with bird feathers, holding a copper rattle in her hand, and ran out of a small room, muttering to herself.
Her eyes were sunken without eyeballs, and the wrinkles on her skin were deep enough to trap a fly. This old, ugly, and scary woman dressed in weird clothes passed by the white fog as if she didn't see it.
This time, Bai Wu had no way of not noticing this person.
The shadow of death hangs over everyone's head, and she is looking for the source of death. She wants to kill it!
The old woman who looked like a witch walked farther and farther away, and the white fog continued to move north, but soon he stopped.
He was sure that he was going straight ahead, and although the distance was blocked by a black fog, there were no other streets in the entire village.
But at this moment, a bunch of paper figures suddenly appeared in front of the white fog, looking at him...
He looked at the courtyard next to him, which was the first house he encountered when he came here.
The white fog continued to move north.
He soon saw the white courtyard again and heard the sad music of the suona. After passing many houses again, when he came to the third house, Bai Wu saw the red courtyard and the festive music of the wedding.
He quickened his pace, and as expected, he met the witch-like woman without eyes.
Now Bai Wu understood... He couldn't get out, so no matter south or north, the notes in his eyes were the same.
"This place is trapping me. It must be asking me to find some clue. My hair is the lock... so what is the key?"
Bai Wu was now certain that he would not be able to meet the captain in this scene unless he found a way to leave here.
"There are no notes in the starry sky... Why do I feel like... I'm not in the real scene, but in the mind of some monster?"
