“Failed again.”

In the psychic town that had turned into a wasteland, Lu Yanli suddenly muttered these words to himself.

It seemed that they had spared no effort in finding him. But he was hiding in the isolated dimension he had created, and based on his experience, he would not be found here.

The real Lin Chu was exploring the secrets of the town. She tried to find a way out, but to no avail. The only way out was blocked by the body of the faceless woman, unless she was dissolved with green spores. But Lu Yanli had already taken away the last few bottles of spores from Lin Chu. She did not master the method of traveling through time and space through the statue, so she could not leave.

If one doesn't work, try the next one.

She had planted the seed in Lin Chu's heart, and Lin Chu was unable to resist her.

As it got dark, Lin Chu came back and saw Lu Yanli sitting at the table. He seemed to be drawing.

"What are you painting?"

When Lin Chu entered the room, Lu Yanli put away the painting and shook his head: "I can't show it to you."

Lin Chu was curious, but she thought that since they were in the same camp, he must also want to leave here, and the other party might... be able to cooperate temporarily.

Lin Chu's biggest mistake in thinking is that her childhood was deeply influenced by Lu Yanli. Even though the latter sealed her memory, she still subconsciously trusted Lu Yanli. She herself didn't realize it, and she would subconsciously make excuses for his favorable side.

She didn't pay attention and watched Lu Yanli fold the painting, put it in an envelope, and then... give it to her

"For you?"

"Yes, we will dismantle it when the time comes."

There was no time written on the envelope. Lin Chu took the letter and asked, "What time?"

Lu Yanli didn't answer, just said: "When the time comes, you will know." His tone was somewhat meaningful, "Believe me, it will hurt you if I open it first."

This made Lin Chu a little hesitant to take action. She nodded and put the envelope away solemnly.

"Did anything happen today?" Lu Yanli turned into the kitchen and brought out a few dishes. The two of them sat down at the dining table. Lu Yanli asked.

This town was isolated from the outside world, so even bacteria were slow to infect it. All the creatures disappeared, but the food was preserved. The resources of the entire town were enough for them to consume for a long time.

"There are no new developments. The town is surrounded by thick fog and we can't get out at all." Lin Chu said.

It seemed that this place was trapped in the cracks of time. The sun, moon and stars could not be seen. The sky was always gloomy. The difference between day and night was nothing more than dimness and darkness. Lin Chu remembered that Lu Yanli had said that there were strange events outside at night, so he hurried back in time.

"You must have explored the places you have explored in the past few days. I actually need the information you have found."

Lu Yanli shook his head: "I have been waiting here for three years and there is nothing. At the beginning, I thought there was a way out, but later I found out that this is a dead end."

"It's impossible to be trapped here forever." Lin Chumen asked, "How did you get here?"

Lin Chu also figured out the rules. Whenever time travel is needed, it must go through some kind of medium. The research institute has its own medium, and some special tunnels she discovered in the other world also have this kind of function.

"That day, we all went out of the town to look for your faceless woman, but we heard strange noises from the back, so... we turned back. It seems that it was a wrong decision." Lu Yanli said.

He made his own experience very similar to Lin Chu's in order to gain her trust. Lin Chu easily believed his excuse and began to think.

"It seems that the key point is the tunnel. We must find a way to move the things blocking the tunnel."

Lu Yanli shook his head: "No, I have tried it. I removed part of the limb on the first day, and when I went in the next day, the missing part was restored."

"We have to give it a try." Lin Chu asked, "Don't you know how to make bombs?"

She wanted to see if she could blow up the tunnel.

"I tried, but couldn't blow it up completely. After the second day, it was restored again."

Of course Lu Yanli knew what was going on. How could the isolation of time and space be broken by a simple bomb

Lin Chu was instantly discouraged as he didn't know what to do. There were all kinds of strange creatures in the psychic town at night, so he could only find a room to rest.

After she fell into a deep sleep, Lu Yanli entered the room. He took out a Pisces jade pendant from his pocket and placed it next to Lin Chu.

Soon, a new test product was born.

Late night city.

Chu Xian kept running away, and behind her, flames were burning fiercely. After Lin Chu's body twitched twice, it stood up staggeringly and walked towards her in a strange posture.

The female corpse behind was clearly moving slowly, but every time Chu Xian looked back, he could find that it was getting closer to him.

What should I do? No, where is Chu Xiu? Will he get into trouble

Chu Xian was very worried about her brother, but she had no choice but to keep running on the dark road.

After she left, the female corpse was getting closer and closer.

hurry up…

Where to hide

It seemed that in an instant she ran from the city to the suburbs. There was nothing but wasteland around her, and even the trees were sparse. Her black and white eyes hung in the sky, replacing the moon. Chu Xian felt the gaze from above, but she didn't dare to look up.

It seemed that Lin Chu saw something in his eyes, which led to his sudden death.

By the way, who is that man of Lin Chu

Lu Yanli

Why do I have a feeling of déjà vu

In the night, the eye suddenly blinked and curved towards Chu Xian, looking as if it was smiling at her.

But those were not smiling eyes. If Chu Xian raised her head and turned to look at the other direction, she would find that both corners of its eyes were raised in disgust and it was glaring at her viciously.

Almost the next second, Chu Xian realized that the scene in front of her had changed. A transparent barrier appeared in front of her, and Chu Xiu, who had just separated from her, stood face to face with her outside the barrier. He didn't know what he saw, and tears streamed down his face.

"Xiu Zi, what's wrong with you?" Chu Xian panicked and called out the other person's nickname.

Wait... His background seemed to be a corridor? One after another, pale-faced, green-eyed, school-uniformed students stood behind him, and also appeared a man whom he had never seen before but looked particularly familiar.

The students stretched their arms towards his neck.

“No! Chu Xiu! Get out of the way!!” Chu Xian’s eyes were red with anger. “Get out of the way!!”

Her cry was not heard, and almost in an instant, Chu Xian seemed to understand something.

She had joked in the elevator that she would write a horror novel about an elevator game with Chu Xiu as the protagonist. In fact, she had already written a draft. In addition to the elevator game, there was also a haunted staircase game. However, she did not really use Chu Xiu as the protagonist, but temporarily replaced it with the letter a.

The scene in front of her coincided with her childhood idea!

Whether it's the giant eye or the game... they've all become real!

Now that these games can come true, what is the solution

Chu Xian imitated a protagonist he had created and prayed out of thin air.

"Please let me save him and let us leave safely, no matter what the price..."

A strong smell of blood came from behind, and a cold and rotten corpse gradually stuck to her back.

Chu Xian froze in place for a moment, unable to move.

“… Please, I am willing to become a believer… ‌…”

A pair of soft arms wrapped around her neck.

“Please!”

Ten cold fingers clasped her neck.

Suddenly, everything seemed to be silent. The female corpse behind her suddenly stopped moving, and the sharp claws that almost pierced through her skin grabbed her trachea, causing Chu Xian to suffocate.

The transparent barrier in front of her slowly turned and turned into a vortex.

Chu Xian struggled to break free from the female corpse behind her and was about to escape, but as soon as she turned around, she was so startled that she took a half step back.

Paper figure.

Flying in the sky were paper figures, with pale faces and red curved lips. They were laughing and staring at her with pairs of black eyes drawn with crude strokes. Some of the paper figures were holding lanterns. Looking closely, the round lanterns under the thin sticks were actually hollowed-out skulls covered with a layer of buttery human skin, with light shining through the eye sockets.

No matter how much Chu Xian imagined, she had never seen such a weird scene, especially... all pairs of eyes were staring at her, it was hard not to make her scalp tingle.

Lin Chusheng’s last words replayed in her mind. Chu Xian gritted her teeth and rushed into the vortex in the air in one breath.

It was pitch dark, there was no light, no sound. Chu Xian walked forward step by step. She had a hunch that she could not make any sound. After she walked through a very long period of darkness, Chu Xian found that she had come to the outside of a ruin.

A strange city. She first defined it in her mind, and then looked around, trying to find her brother.

She heard tiny sounds coming from the ruins behind her, sand and gravel falling, mixed with occasional crying and wailing.

Chu Xian hardened his heart and was about to leave, but he saw a hand suddenly appear from the top of the ruins.

The hand was holding onto the bricks and stones above, and it seemed that it was trying to push away the stone pressing on it through the small gap. Chu Xian looked up for a while and felt that it didn't look like a corpse. He looked left and right, climbed up, and pushed the stone away with great effort.

At the bottom of the cave, a pale and haggard man with blood on his face looked over.

"Thank you." Lu Yanli recognized Chu Xian at a glance and was extremely shocked.

He had never met Chu Xian, but he knew that Chu Xiu had a sister who had died long ago, and that on the last day of Chu Xiu's seven-day supernatural game, he saw Chu Xian's appearance in the mirror.

Chu Xian had died a long time ago. He sang that song just now just to attract the attention of "God", but it attracted her instead

This person, is he a human or a ghost

Chu Xian didn't think much about it and stretched out his hand to Lu Yanli: "Come out quickly, or it will be troublesome if there is a second collapse."

Reaching out his hand and holding it, he found that it was indeed the temperature of a living person. Lu Yanli felt slightly relieved and used the force to jump from under the rubble onto the messy brick and stone surface, then returned to the ground one step at a time.

"Why were you crushed underneath? Did the building suddenly collapse?" Chu Xian calculated the location and found that his room was on a high floor of the building. If the man was in the building from the beginning, he would not have only suffered superficial injuries if such a high floor collapsed.

"Yes, I was crossing the road when the building collapsed. Luckily, I was not crushed. Thank you very much."

Very strange.

For such a serious accident, not only were there no police cars or ambulances, there were not even any people watching. Apart from the faint cries for help coming from under the ruins, the street seemed empty.

"It's okay, you're welcome. By the way, did you see someone named Chu Xiu in your building?" Chu Xian asked, "Her name is Chu Xian, she's her sister. She got separated from him and I'm looking for him now."

It turns out that it's not just Chu Xian, but Chu Xiu as well

These two people who had long been dead suddenly appeared in my sight. So, which time and space did I come to

"My name is Lu Yanli. I'm sorry, I didn't see him."

Lu Yanli had no idea how much shock this sentence brought to Chu Xian.

The girl who died mysteriously in front of him, her last words were "Be careful of Lu Yanli", and soon, he appeared in front of her.

Chu Xian didn't think it was a coincidence, so she became alert and said it was okay, then asked if they could go together.

She wanted to know why Lin Chu said that

Lu Yanli agreed.

Sitting in the psychic town, Lu Yanli never thought that his plan would go wrong.

According to the original timeline, Chu Xian met him after Lin Chu died.

But... Lin Chu shouldn't have had the chance to say the words that made Chu Xian doubt.
