When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Cheng found that he was actually in a forest. He quickly stood up and looked around, trying to find others.
After scanning the surroundings, he discovered that including the two children, Lin Yu, Duan Fei, and Cui Benshan were all lying on the ground not far away. Judging from his normal complexion and even breathing, he must have just fallen asleep.
Jiang Cheng was still a little worried, so he walked up to Ren Zhifei who was closest to him and patted him on the shoulder, trying to wake him up.
Hearing a long breath, Ren Zhifei rubbed his eyes and sat up from the ground, murmuring, "Why did I fall asleep again?"
Jiang Cheng unexpectedly discovered that Ren Zhifei's injuries were all healed at this moment.
The little lunatic on the other side seemed to have woken up, but he didn't seem to recover so quickly. He bared his teeth and yelled, "Ouch, I pressed the wound."
As the two children woke up, three other adults also woke up one after another.
When Lin Yu woke up, she looked confused and said, "I was just about to kill Jimen, why did the city consciousness come out to stop me?"
Duan Fei, on the other hand, glanced around cautiously and asked Jiang Cheng, who was the first to wake up, "What is this place?"
Jiang Cheng was also full of doubts and could only look at Cui Benshan.
Cui Benshan said: "The reason why urban consciousness appears is that we don't want us to break the rules of the game."
Lin Yu was even more surprised and said, "We haven't even entered the game yet, so why are we breaking the rules of the game?"
Jiang Cheng seemed to understand a little better and said, "You mean, Jimeng is a member of the game just like the bosses?"
Cui Benshan nodded and replied, "That's right."
Lin Yu said displeased, "Then when Ji Meng was looking for a shield before, the city's consciousness should have stopped him!"
Duan Fei shook his head, "City consciousness has its own set of behaviors and will not easily interfere with the affairs of Anxiang District. After all, when Jimeng used the gang boss as a scapegoat, those people were not dead yet. Speaking of which, then The deaths of several bosses still have to be blamed on me."
"What kind of GP behavior is this!" Lin Yu cursed angrily, "You don't know good from evil, you don't know right from wrong!"
"Forget it, let's not mention this." Jiang Cheng turned to Cui Benshan and said, "Since the city consciousness thinks that we have broken the rules of the game, is it some kind of punishment now?"
Cui Benshan was also very embarrassed by this question and replied: "In the past ten years, although I have gradually understood the existence of the rules of the game, no one has ever been able to break the rules of the game. So, I don't know what I am about to face now. "
Duan Fei said with some worry, "Don't exclude us from the game. If this is the case, I'm afraid none of my people will have the chance to leave Anxiang District."
Jiang Cheng frowned and thought deeply for a moment before saying, "Since the urban consciousness will ask us for help, it will definitely not exclude us from the game."
"I agree with this view." Ren Zhifei also thought seriously and said, "Since urban consciousness wants to maintain the rules of the game, it will definitely not reduce the number of participating members. So I speculate that the purpose of urban consciousness is just to separate us from Ji Meng and the others. , to avoid further reducing the number of members participating in the game.”
Duan Fei also felt that this speculation was reasonable and finally felt relieved.
But the little lunatic noticed the changes in Ren Zhifei and asked curiously, "You were more seriously injured than me before. Why are you acting like nothing now? Even the wounds are gone."
Ren Zhifei didn't know what was going on and could only shrug.
The little lunatic curled his lips and said, "Could it be that the city consciousness was so kind and cured you?"
Ren Zhifei thought about it seriously, but he couldn't rule out this possibility.
Regardless of the conversation between the two children, Jiang Cheng continued, "Then the next step is to see where we are now."
Cui Benshan had already observed the surroundings and couldn't help but murmured, "I have been wandering around Anxiang District for so many years, but I didn't know there was such a place."
"Don't you even know me?" Ren Zhifei's heart moved and he had a vague guess. But this is just a guess, and it’s not time to say it yet.
Jiang Cheng expanded his vision and saw that the wall of nightmare still existed in the distance, so this couldn't be somewhere other than Anxiang District. The forest they were in was very large, and even if he jumped to the top of the trees and strained his eyesight, he couldn't see the end. In desperation, Jiang Cheng tried to develop real-person perception to see if he could make any new discoveries.
Jiang Cheng immediately noticed the abnormality after opening his real-person perception, and couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong?" Cui Benshan asked quickly.
Jiang Cheng felt it carefully for a while before replying, "The environment here... seems to be different from that in Anxiang District!"
"Why is it different?" Cui Benshan was confused before he remembered to use his vision to check his surroundings. When I looked at it, I found a difference.
Before entering this place, everyone felt that the environment in Anxiang District was very abnormal. Everything around, whether it's buildings or trees, has infinitely the same information overlaid on it. And from the perspective of ordinary people, everything around them is no different from the outside world. But here, the surrounding environment has returned to normal. There is no longer infinite overlapping information, but it has become the only existing state.
"There is actually a normal place in Anxiang District." Cui Benshan said this, but he felt more and more that this place was extremely abnormal. This kind of contradictory psychology may only arise after living in the hellish Anxiang District.
Jiang Cheng added, "Although the environment has become normal, the time here has become extremely chaotic."
"Chaos?" Cui Benshan asked again, "What kind of chaos is it?"
Jiang Cheng thought, trying to organize words to describe his feelings. After a moment, he said, "The time here... feels different from the time we were in before! And this feeling is very familiar, as if I had it not long ago. experienced."
Real people are extremely sensitive to time. Since Jiangcheng feels there is a problem with time, it means that the place they are in is anything but ordinary.
Jiang Cheng recalled it carefully, but couldn't recall it for a while.
Cui Benshan did not rush and said, "Let's take a look around first. Maybe we can find other clues."
Jiang Cheng nodded, covering his swollen head, and temporarily stopped thinking.
It's not that Jiang Cheng's memory is bad, but that after just experiencing a big battle, his mental and physical strength was greatly consumed, and the blood supply to his brain was insufficient. If he hadn't been in a strange environment now, he would have fallen asleep immediately.
Although they couldn't tell the direction here, they also knew that they should head in the opposite direction of the Nightmare Wall. The road is difficult to follow in the woods. Duan Fei had already noticed Jiang Cheng's weak condition, and without any explanation, he directly carried him on his body.
"Don't worry and get some sleep. If there is anything unusual, I will notify you immediately." Duan Fei said.
Jiang Cheng was moved, but tiredness came over him. He didn't even have time to say a word of thanks. He closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
He didn't know how long he had been sleeping when Jiang Cheng suddenly heard Duan Fei shout, "Look ahead!"
Jiang Cheng's whole body trembled, and he quickly opened his eyes and looked forward.
