In the amusement park that was supposed to be abandoned, lights were lit up. Those were the lighting tools they brought.
The world was spinning and my consciousness was shifting.
"The next stop is our destination - the Psychic Town. After getting off the bus, remember to follow me closely. The entrance to this town is difficult to find. You can't drive in, you can only walk in."
When everyone looked back, they found themselves sitting in a big bus. The tour guide was standing near the door holding a small loudspeaker with a smile on his face.
From the window, you can see the dense forest receding rapidly, but the forest is perhaps too dense, and it makes people feel cold in winter.
As he spoke, the driver stepped on the brakes and stopped in front of a long tunnel entrance.
We have arrived at the entrance to the psychic town.
"Everyone, pay attention to the order and get off the bus with me!" The woman who was the tour guide was very excited and waved a small flag at everyone with a smile.
However, her smile was obviously unnatural. A closer look revealed no smile in her eyes, only the corners of her mouth were almost raised to her ears, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Everyone in the car was a task executor. When they saw the woman get off the car first, they immediately followed her and jumped out of the narrow door one by one.
Yu Huaiyao followed Lin Chu.
He had many questions, but they were finally answered after he personally experienced this strange scene - Yu Huan should have experienced the same thing, right
That's why he died so strangely.
From this perspective, Lin Chu's suspicion is reduced.
No one else cared. There were too many people this time, so everyone just picked people who looked like they could cooperate with each other. Lin Chu and Yu Huaiyao were both "newcomers", and those with more experience were unwilling to join them. There were many people who joined together like them.
Lin Chu was very impatient with Huai Yao, especially after he came over, several newcomers with panicked expressions also followed him, including a girl in school uniform who looked like she was still in high school.
Yu Huaiyao apologized to her in a low voice, but because there were many people around him, he said nothing and quietly walked away.
They got off the car beside a small road. A damp and cold wind blew in from the forest, bringing with it a chill unique to late winter. When the last person left, the driver said nothing, turned the car around and left.
"Come with me." The tour guide didn't care that no one talked to her. She just waved a small flag and walked in front.
There was a tunnel at the end of the path. It was pitch black. The tour guide waved a small flag and went straight in. "It's dark inside. Everyone, be careful and don't make noise."
One of them was called Ximen Yuan. He had found his teammates and slowed down after hearing this. He walked with his teammates and said, "It seems that we can't talk in the tunnel."
Teammate Tan Xu looked at his back and nodded.
I had been planning to discuss it quietly, but now it seems I can only wait.
Not everyone realized this, and some senior taskers slowed down their pace, pretending to let the newcomers catch up, while not stopping them from talking.
They wanted to try and see if their guess was correct.
The tunnel was long and silent, and nothing happened.
Lin Chu also stepped into the darkness.
Her whole body tensed up. As soon as she entered, she sensed a completely different atmosphere from what she felt outside. At the same time, she felt that something was looking at her in the darkness.
What is it
The tunnel was very long and they walked for a very long time.
It took so long that I almost forgot that I was on a mission and almost lost myself, when I heard the tour guide's cheerful voice from the front: "Everyone, we have arrived at the Psychic Town. I hope you have a good time in the town."
The taskers only felt that this was a threat.
They were not real tourists, so how could they really be here for vacation? Moreover, the guide's attitude was so strange that a blessing made everyone even more worried.
But the light was right in front of him. The tasker walking in front mumbled something and walked out from the other side of the tunnel. He was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
So… beautiful.
The houses and roads were all so neat and clean that they almost thought they were here for tourism.
Even the sky was as clean as if it had been washed.
The tour guide clapped his hands to attract their attention. "It seems that everyone likes the Psychic Town very much. If you decide to live in the town for a long time, I have a few houses here that you can live in."
Seeing a tour guide NPC take out a bunch of keys from his bag without hesitation, the taskers felt a little strange, for example, they worked hard for most of their lives but couldn't afford to buy a house, but an NPC...
Seeing that the tour guide had a good attitude, Ximen Yuan asked: "Excuse me, tour guide, has there been any missing persons case in the town? We heard that..."
The tour guide's face changed drastically!
A resident happened to pass by him and heard what happened. His face immediately turned ugly.
"You, what on earth are you guys doing here? If you are really here for fun, I advise you not to think there is something wrong just because of a few reports from outside! If that's the case, you are not welcome in our town."
This attitude made the taskers even more curious. Ximen Yuan wanted to ask more, but the NPC turned around and left. The tour guide also turned his face away, seeming unwilling to talk more.
The task participants who were standing further away lowered their heads to discuss. Lin Chu looked around but did not speak.
Strange, she clearly heard people talking in the tunnel, why is there no one missing now? Could it be that talking in the tunnel does not constitute a condition for death
What Lin Chu didn't notice was that a few dark clouds floated in the sky, blocking the sunlight completely, making it impossible to see the shadows on the ground.
Otherwise, they will find that some people's shadows have already...
At this time, they were on their way to their residence.
To be honest, as a tourist attraction, the Psychic Town is really good. The buildings on both sides of the road are antique, with flying eaves, and exquisite murals on the snow-white walls can be seen everywhere.
Lin Chu was looking at the murals along the way. Thanks to her previous experience in the tomb, she felt that there was something wrong with the murals and subconsciously wanted to translate them.
Moreover, these murals and the murals in the tomb were clearly painted by the same person.
Who is that person? Does he also live in the town
After Lu Yanli threw away his own rotten corpse, he ran away. Behind him, the street lights went out quickly until they came to the rotten corpse, and then stopped for a very long time.
So long that Lu Yanli had already fled the city.
Placing the Pisces jade pendant in front of him, Lu Yanli looked at it carefully.
It is said that the Pisces Jade Pendant is not a direct copy, but brings things from the future to the present. So, when was the rotten corpse created
That was also him. What did he go through to die so miserably
The clothes on the corpse turned into a bloody robe. Lu Yanli naturally didn't know which period of his replica this was from.
As for why they came to find him... Considering his previous experience of going into a tomb, Lu Yanli felt that this might be because of the attraction between the "replica" and the original.
He thought for a long time, and finally, he wrapped up one of the jade pendants and moved it away.
He placed another jade pendant on the open space, and then stood aside.
After a long while, the air became distorted.
A figure slowly emerged.
This person... is exactly like him.
No, it was just him.
Lu Yanli looked at himself.
He knew all of his thoughts, so he could communicate with this "person" smoothly, but he knew too well what he could not accept. Therefore, both parties hoped that the other party would be used as bait so that they could leave with the jade pendant.
He was suddenly targeted because he had discovered something. Perhaps he had come across the truth in the past, or perhaps he had learned the truth in a different time and space. In short, he needed to review the past.
But no matter which Lu Yanli it was, no one was willing to hand the initiative to the other party.
In the end, both Lu Yanli felt helpless.
Lu Yanli, who first used the jade pendant to copy another person, suggested: "It's not a solution to continue like this. Since neither of us is willing, why don't we copy a third person? The moment the copy is made, we will subdue him."
The man agreed.
The two stood together and watched as a third identical figure was created.
Just as they had discussed, the first two men subdued him directly, and after notifying everyone, they left immediately, leaving the third Lu Yanli standing there to sort out his thoughts.
Anyone who knows that his mission is to die will not look very happy.
Lu Yanli glanced out the window.
It's getting dark.
The time now should be nine o'clock in the morning.
Forget it, since I have to buy time for "myself"...
Thinking of this, Lu Yanli opened the door, walked out, and stepped into the darkness.
No one could tell what was in the darkness. In short, he walked in there for a long, long time, unable to tell the difference between day and night, or between life and death.
Until he lost consciousness and became a walking corpse, he was still walking.
He knew that he was going to find someone.
Who are you looking for
Lu Yanli, whose clothes had turned into blood, thought in a daze.
At this moment, the darkness retreated from his side like a tide, and he was back in the sunlight.
He raised his head and looked into the distance.
There were two directions that particularly attracted him.
What was there in those two directions? He didn't know, and after hesitating for a while, he walked towards one of them.
As soon as I arrived at my residence, the sky suddenly darkened. In a flash, it was clearly two or three o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky was abnormally dark, as if it was already midnight.
The people in the town were used to it and quickly turned on the lights, and the town was lit up.
The tour guide didn't show any intention of explaining. After turning on the lights, he let them choose the room themselves and then turned and left.
"This town is so weird."
Seeing the tour guide leave, the group immediately felt relieved. After discussing it, they sat in the lobby on the first floor to continue the discussion.
"As everyone knows, this town is obviously not normal. Excluding factors such as the sudden darkness, the people in this town are very sensitive to the word missing."
"But because of this, it may be difficult for us to know who the missing persons are."
In this case, one of the tasks, finding the missing "that person", will be difficult to complete.
Who is missing
"I have another question. Obviously, there is only one missing person, and there is only one person in the other mission, to kill Lu Yanli. But..." The person who asked this question looked around, "We have about fifty people in total, how can we complete it?"
"Should it be that as long as one person completes it, everyone will be considered cleared?"
"I'm more curious about Lu Yanli's identity. I quietly asked the tour guide before, and she said she didn't know him."
"Let's go to town and ask other residents tomorrow."
