Chapter 65 Su Qian

Chapter 65 Su Qian

The woods at the end of the village.

Bai Yanliang strolled in the fog. Although he was thinking about other things in his mind, he did not relax his vigilance at all.

There is still a lot he doesn't understand about this matter.

Among them, the biggest doubt is still about Lu Rending.

This is also the reason why Bai Yanliang wants to visit her grave.

According to Xiaobin, Wuji Village holds a small ceremony every year and a big ceremony every ten years. Last year was the tenth year, so the ceremony should be a big ceremony.

But...from the information they have received so far, this year will be another grand festival.

It was obvious that something went wrong in last year's ceremony, and this problem was most likely caused by Lu Rending.

What happened to this woman last year? What happened to her?
What happened in Wuji Village during this period from last year to today that made everyone so suspicious and afraid to go out when it gets dark?

And...what's going on with this forest...

Bai Yanliang raised his head and looked towards the woods.

According to Zhou Li, there are limits on the ghosts that appear in fog.

As long as it is not an unsolvable evil ghost, it is not a completely idealistic existence.

Also, they are not omnipotent, and there are limits to what they can do.

That being said, all intelligence loses a lot of its usefulness when it is applied to survival missions.

The evil spirits in survival missions are fundamentally different.

It has absolutely no rationality, no emotions, and cannot communicate. Compared to the statement that "malice is formed by the corruption of the souls of the dead", Bai Yanliang feels that they are more like a group of alien races that are completely different from humans.

Fortunately...even this kind of thing is also restricted by certain rules.

Although they have become completely idealistic entities and cannot be affected by the laws of physics,... certain invisible rules still override them.

And that rule is the only way for Bai Yanliang and his group to survive.

"Sacrificing blood without intention..."

Is this interpretation a hint or a misleading one?

……

Deep in the mountains and forests.

Su Qian, separated from Bai Yanliang and Yu Hanzhou, walked alone in the fog.

Su Qian is not a blindly optimistic person.

In fact, every time she had palpitations and entered the fog, she would leave two pre-written suicide notes in the real world.

One letter was to his parents, and the other... was to Yu Hanzhou.

She was afraid of death, but even more afraid of... being rejected.

In Su Qian's opinion, the reason why humans are human is that compared with other species, humans have too many and too complex emotions.

This is a bad thing and a good thing.

The bad thing is that complicated emotions often interfere with the most correct and rational choices. And the good thing is also here.

Although some choices are the most correct and reasonable,...we often don't do that.

Because we are human…we have people we love.

This is also the reason why they chose to escape separately.

This is definitely the worst choice for Su Qian...

She had been walking in the woods for a long time.

But I still couldn't reach the end and couldn't meet anyone else.

At the same time, Su Qian was shocked to find that she was lost again...

Although, getting lost in foggy mountains and forests is not a very uncommon thing.

But at this moment and in this place, the loss of sense of direction undoubtedly cast a shadow on Su Qian's heart.

Looking at the marks on the tree trunk in front of her, Su Qian shuddered.

This... is clearly where everyone separates.

She chose the middle path, but now...she was inexplicably back here.

what on earth is it?

She raised her head and looked at the other two paths leading deeper into the woods, her heart unsettled.

The one on the left leads to Bai Yanliang, and the one on the right leads to Yu Hanzhou.

Want to go find them?

Su Qian asked secretly in her heart, but her feet did not move a step.

Too strange……

Even if I was lost, this level was too scary...

Why do I return to the starting point when I am moving forward?

Su Qian wanted to stay where she was, but was worried about meeting Huang Yourong.

I wanted to find Yu Hanzhou and Bai Yanliang, but I was afraid of getting lost again.

Wait... or search?
It's time to make a decision again.

and many more……

Su Qian's eyes suddenly lit up.

She thought of a good idea.

Since... walking forward will inexplicably lead me back to this tree.

Then just... stare at it and walk backwards, so that the tree stays in your sight!

With this thought in mind, Su Qian no longer hesitated.

She turned around, faced the marked tree in front of her, and stepped back step by step!
However... as soon as she took a step, she felt a bone-chilling cold all over her body!

The wet mountain fog wet the corners of her clothes and the ends of her hair. The fine mountain breeze was like a series of faint breaths, passing by her back and into her ears, making her shudder.

It’s like... this forest suddenly came alive.

A terrifying feeling as if something was staring at me crept into my heart.

Su Qian let out a slight breath, tried hard to control her emotions, and continued to step back.

With every step she took back, she felt a terrible malice.

It was like... there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind.

Once this terrible thought came into being, it quickly took root and Su Qian's breathing soon became heavier.

She closed her eyes, raised her head and took a deep breath, trying to suppress her fear again. However... this time when she opened her eyes, she screamed in shock.

"How can it be?"

She had already taken several steps back. Logically, the tree should have been three to five meters away from her, but... at this moment it was right in front of her!

It was only a palm's distance away from her toes!

It actually moves!
When did it move?
As expected... just like what everyone said...

Survival missions...are much more terrifying and weird than time-limited missions!
No...can't care about it.

Keep staring at it and walk back away!
At this moment, Su Qian did not hesitate at all. She remembered that Yu Hanzhou once said something to her.

As long as you have repeatedly questioned your inner decision, even if it is wrong, once you have made it, you must carry it out to the end.

Never give up, and never hesitate.

Thinking of him, Su Qian's emotions were finally under some control.

She continued to take steps, one step at a time...backwards.

She kept her eyes fixed on the marked tree.

It didn’t move…this time…it didn’t move.

Su Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

It was so weird, luckily nothing so weird happened this time.

However...just as she was thinking this.

The tree actually approached her in the blink of an eye!
No...that's not right...

Su Qian's face turned pale and she looked around.

It's not that the tree is approaching me...it's that...I'm being pulled back here!

At this moment, some noise suddenly came from behind the tree which was nearby.

A leg stretched out mysteriously from behind the tree.

Su Qian's eyes widened, fear surging out of her.

Because she remembered... this seemed... to be Huang Yourong's clothes.
