Strange Tales of Rules: I, the ultimate villain in horror

"wrong......"

Looking at the familiar notice board in front of him, Xu Hai lowered his head, and the focus in his pupils began to fade...

Vaguely, Xu Hai seemed to see someone waving to him on the hiking trail. It was a rickety figure wearing a gray work uniform.

Under the setting sun, the man's shadow was stretched very long.

The soft voice of the man in gray uniform could still be heard faintly in my ears: "Go back, the climbing road ahead has been completely blocked and it is impassable."

"Boom!!!"

As the man in gray uniform finished speaking, then... Xu Hai felt a violent sound coming from his ears, which was the increasingly twisted hiking trail! !

Originally he was facing the mountains and forest, in front of the 2000-step milestone.

And now! !

He turned his back to Milestone and looked straight in the direction he came from, where... the fog had completely dissipated.

Even in the deep forest, Xu Hai could clearly see the red warning line and the patrol officers wearing special work clothes. She was standing there waving to herself.

"Come back quickly!! As long as we are outside the red alert line, we will be safe!!"

Although there was a slight distance between them, Xu Hai could still clearly hear what the patrol officer wanted to express.

The road ahead is completely blocked, so just turn back.

Backtrack.

..................

"Xu Hai?"

"Xu Hai!"

Just when Xu Hai was about to take the first step behind him, he suddenly felt that his body was being shaken violently.

The consciousness in this 'world' gradually began to collapse, and the hiking trail under the sunset began to twist...

When you wake up, it's night! !

"What's wrong with me?"

Xu Hai raised his head in confusion and looked at the notice board in front of him with confusion. The dazzling number of 2000 steps stung Xu Hai's eyes! !

Why is he here... Isn't he going to go back the same way?

"what happened to him?"

Seeing Xu Hai's stunned look, Lin Yu quickly turned his attention to Su Wan.

"When do you think the yin energy is the heaviest?"

Su Wan did not answer Lin Yu's question immediately. Instead, he asked.

"It should be around midnight?"

Lin Yu replied subconsciously. It happened to be a coincidence that the dungeon she was first selected into was...at midnight! !

So she clearly remembered that evil spirits always appeared at midnight.

"wrong."

"It's the evening when yin and yang alternate, the light of day falls and the darkness of night shrouds."

"The ghosts in the mountains will wake up."

Su Wan shook her head, her tone was very calm, but her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed.

"what?!"

Although he didn't understand these principles, when Lin Yu heard the word 'ghost', he couldn't help but tremble all over! !

Xu Hai became so dumbfounded because of...the ghost in the mountain? !

But... they obviously didn't violate the 'don't look back' rule, how could the ghost in the mountain affect them! !

"You don't think...the rules here are the same as that place, right?"

Su Wan's tone was a bit sarcastic.

You must know that the survival tasks at home and in Tianshan are completely different. At home, the focus is on survival, while in Tianshan, the focus is on exploratory survival! !

At home, its power is influenced by time and rules factors.

Time and whether the player violates the rules are the main factors that affect the progress bar.

And when the progress bar goes further and further back.

It will corrode players more deeply and use more means to influence players' cognition! !

And in Tianshan?

Its power is only affected by rules. Even if the player does not violate the rules, it can still interfere with the player through some means.

Such as the illusion Xu Hai saw! !

However...an illusion is always just an illusion. Even if the player is contaminated by it and violates the rules in the fictional world, it will not affect the stretching of the progress bar.

It will only make players more fearful.

But Su Wan felt that Xu Hai was not such a fragile person and could not give up completely just because of a false appearance.

So as long as Xu Hai is given some time, he can come back to his senses from the false hesitation...

..................

Time passed bit by bit, and when the cold sweat no longer remained on Xu Hai's forehead, his out-of-focus pupils began to focus again.

"It seems...it will also find weak persimmons to pinch."

Xu Hai came back to his senses and made a joke, which relieved the solemn atmosphere at this time.

At the same time, he looked at Su Wan with more kindness.

If Su Wan hadn't woken him up twice, I'm afraid that Xu Hai would have been lost in Tianshan long ago and would never have the chance to leave! !

"Thank you."

Thinking like this, Xu Hai said thank you to Su Wan.

"You don't need to thank me. We all just get what we need. Without you, Lin Yu and I wouldn't be able to get out of this mountain."

Su Wan shrugged, acting unconcerned.

"Ah."

It was this indifferent look that made Xu Hai completely let down his guard against Su Wan. At this time, he truly regarded Su Wan as one of his own.

"If you really want to repay me, then think carefully about why we are back here."

At this time, Su Wan said again.

"Actually, I had my suspicions very early on... Why did I have to wait for five players to arrive before I could take the sightseeing bus at the ticket office?"

Xu Hai touched his chin and revealed the problem that had been bothering him for a long time.

"This should be normal, right?"

Lin Yu lowered her head. She really didn't think of any clues on this issue.

After all, in other scenic spots, it is normal for sightseeing bus operators to wait for many tourists for convenience...

"No, this is not normal."

"Lin Yu, can you think carefully about it? The tour bus master is not the ghost talk himself. How did he know that there would be five people on the bus?"

"Moreover, the Tianshan Scenic Area is already closed. Even if the chef receives instructions to pick up passengers, he should take them there as soon as he sees them, so there will be no problem of long waiting!!"

Su Wan knocked Lin Yu's little head and said helplessly.

After hearing what she said, Lin Yu suddenly enlightened! !

Yes... She is a ghost master herself. When she took the sightseeing bus before, she didn't feel any strange aura from her master.

It means he is a living person! !

It is impossible for a living person to know exactly how many players come to Tianshan Scenic Area! !

Unless the above told him in advance! !

And who is above... Mr. Jia who established the Tianshan Scenic Area, or the ghost in the mountain?

No matter what the situation is, they all have a certain purpose, such as...

"Su Wan said it very well."

"By the way, do you remember the second floor of your home? That was the plot point that started when Wang Feng walked up the corridor!!"

"While riding the sightseeing bus, I was thinking... Since Kaitan deliberately brought the five of us together, would it be necessary for the five of us to come into contact with something at the same time to unlock the next plot point? Woolen cloth?"

"Like, reaching the 2000-step milestone at the same time."
