The abstinent president is by my side

Chapter 196 Death Cycle
He is not a guide.

An Zhishuang's body collapsed and she sat on the ground directly.

But at this moment, the old man suddenly said, "We've come from a long way, let's eat something first! After eating, I'll tell you how to get out, old man."

These words gave me a glimmer of hope.But more, it is the suspicion of this old man of unknown origin.

"Hurry up, I haven't eaten beef for a long time, old man, do you have any beef here?" Hao Tianming was casual, walked to the tea shed and sat down, then yelled at the old man.

"Of course!" As he said that, the old man handed a box of braised beef noodles to Hao Tianming, "Brother, this is the beef you want. Don't worry, the minced beef inside will never be less than three grains."

I:"……"

Hao Tianming was taken aback, but he knocked on the box of instant noodles seriously and said, "Old man, you can't let me eat dry ones, can you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man pointed to the front right, and there was a rusty faucet there.

Hao Tianming walked over muttering, and turned on the faucet, but steaming water flowed out of it.

Just when I could see my origin, I heard the old man ask me again, "Girl, what flavor do you want?"

"Whatever!" I said lightly, took the instant noodles handed over by the old man and prepared to eat.

"I don't want your rubbish instant noodles, tell me quickly, how do I get out?" Hearing the sound of arguing, I turned my head and saw An Zhishuang knocking down the instant noodle box in the old man's hand, and shouted angrily with willow eyebrows.

"Girl, it's up to you to eat or not. But one more thing, old man, I have to remind you that in this place, anyone who doesn't eat for more than two days will definitely die."

When the old man said this, I didn't see the slightest trace of joking in his eyes.I lowered my head and looked at the instant noodles in my hand. Without hesitation, I turned on the tap and soaked the instant noodles.

After that, I don't know what the old man said to An Zhishuang.An Zhishuang finally took the instant noodles and soaked them in hot water properly.

After the instant noodles were soaked, just as I was about to eat them, I felt a slight heat on my wrist.I gently opened my sleeves, but there was nothing unusual about the five lotus seeds.

Putting down my sleeves, I was stunned when I looked at the instant noodles in the bowl again.

The instant noodles in the bowl are gone?Look at Hao Tianming and the others again, he just finished eating, and he was still touching his mouth with unsatisfactory intent.

I was very puzzled. Could it be that Hao Tianming ate the instant noodles in my bowl?Just as he was about to ask him, the old man suddenly came out from the newsstand. He found a stool, sat down among us, and said quietly, "You all really want to know how to get out, right?"

"Old man, isn't this nonsense? I've been waiting for two days, tell me, how should we go out?" A rough man in his thirties said impatiently.

"There are two ways to get out." The old man glanced at all of us present, and said slowly.

"Which two kinds?" A woman in her twenties asked impatiently.

"First, there is a dead person present. Whoever can find the dead person can leave." Hearing this, I carefully observed everyone present. To be honest, I didn't see who the dead person was. !
I couldn't help turning my head to look at Hao Tianming, and I couldn't help whispering, "Tianming, can you see it?"

Hao Tianming shook his head, and said cautiously, "Xiao Wuleng, that old man is cheating! Here, there is no dead person at all!"

"Grandpa, what's the other way?" The ten-year-old boy asked very curiously.

I stared at the ten-year-old child, and suddenly thought of Xiao Huahua.I clenched my fists and swore in my heart that for Xiao Huahua, I will get out alive no matter what!

The old man laughed loudly, "In the middle of this mountain, there is a scepter made of human bones. Whoever gets the scepter can leave."

"This mountain is so big, looking for a scepter is clearly looking for a needle in a haystack." An Zhishuang said very dissatisfied.I didn't speak, just stared at the old man quietly.

The old man laughed again.

"You only have one day. If you don't gain anything in this day, everything will return to the starting point."

Back to the start?What does this starting point mean?
I was full of doubts, but the old man seemed to know what I was thinking, and immediately explained, "If you don't get anything for the day, you will die immediately when the sun sets. The next day, the moment the sun rises , you will be resurrected. But the memory of the previous day will basically be erased, and the only thing that can be remembered is the pain of death!"

"What if we can't find that scepter, or the dead man?"

"Then you will fall into endless death!"

The old man's words made everyone present pale.Only then did Hao Tianming sigh with emotion, "I would have brought Baimao in if I knew it earlier. Its dog nose is very sensitive. It is absolutely appropriate to find a scepter."

"Everyone, you have less than seven hours, let's start!"

After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and walked slowly back to the newsstand.Looking at the old man's back, I always felt that I had overlooked something.

"Let's go, Xiao Wuleng, let's go find Lao Shizi's staff!" Hao Tianming stood up and said.I was thinking, since it's hard to find the staff, why don't we just identify the dead man?
There are only ten people present, so finding a dead person is not difficult!
"Wait, I'm going to use the first method to find a way!" A middle-aged man in his forties suddenly shouted at the old man.The old man smiled.

This smile inexplicably sent a chill down my back.

"can."

The old man said with a smile, his beard trembled, and he uttered a cold word, "But..."

These words made my breath stop.I always feel that things are not that simple, and at the same time I was sweating for the middle-aged man who spoke.

"If you make a wrong identification, you will die immediately! Moreover, if you make a wrong identification, other people can identify the dead person after you die, and you will never be able to be resurrected, and you will repeat the pain of death forever. You, you have to identify the dead person." ?"

There was a kind smile on the old man's face, and cold sweat was already breaking out on the forehead of the middle-aged man.He wiped the sweat from his forehead, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I want to identify!"

The voice of the middle-aged man was full of determination and confidence, and I thought to myself, "Could it be that he already knows who the dead man is?"

At this time, the middle-aged man pointed at the ten-year-old child.

"A ten-year-old kid can come here? I think you have a problem! I'll identify him!"

"Are you sure?" the old man asked quietly.

"Sure, it's him!" The middle-aged man was very sure.The old man sighed, he turned and sat back on the chair.

"Misidentification!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a scream.Looking at the middle-aged man, he saw blood spurting from his seven orifices. He covered his neck in pain, his eyes glared angrily, and his body twisted and twitched on the ground.

After half an hour, the man died.

The man who died tragically gave a good warning to the people present. Everyone swallowed their saliva and decided to look for the scepter.I looked back at the old man who was sitting in the newsstand reading the newspaper, turned around and followed Hao Tianming and the others into the dense forest.

Along the way, everyone carefully stared at other people, trying to find clues of the dead from them!

I am no exception!
Time passed by little by little, and it was almost dusk.But we got nothing!
At this moment, the child who was identified as a dead person suddenly walked up to me...
