Strange rules: starting with a white-haired beauty

"Zun Du and Fake Du? Isn't that stable?"

After a while, other contestants also arrived in front of the climbing sign where Lan Zhirou was. There were also trails in the dense forest next to it. Only a few contestants entered the forest trails because of the "climbing path collapse" prompt. Most people still choose to follow the "don't leave the hiking trail" rule.

Albon, a player from the Iron Tower Country, is the one who chose to enter the forest trail.

Compared to Lan Zhirou, he was even more miserable. When talking to the villagers, Alban didn't even say a word except for the news that there was a temple on the top of the mountain, because those dog villagers in Temeow said the second sentence The words were meant to deceive Lan Zhirou, so... Albon was also deceived in exactly the same way.

This is no different from being fooled by "Look, there's a flying saucer"...

However, even if these people chose to enter the forest path, after hearing the villagers' information, they still chose to go from the hiking trail to the top of the mountain instead of taking the risk of advancing from the path.

Among them, strange things also happened. Some players were afraid of these "villagers", but those villagers still said the same words and did the same behavior as when they met Lan Zhirou.

"Speaking of which, Zhirou, your body has almost recovered. Do you want to take off the bandage?" While walking in the dark avenue, Bai Jin suddenly spoke softly to Lan Zhirou.

"No need." Lan Zhirou replied decisively. In fact, she had already felt that her body had almost recovered. The extraordinary technology was indeed different. Only in this way can we get more opportunities. This is a good plan. I should continue to wear the bandage."

After walking on the forest path for an unknown amount of time, Lan Zhirou suddenly stopped.

"Why do I feel like I've seen the trees around here before?" Lan Zhirou frowned and said, "Although the trees here are very similar, this scene is a little too similar..."

"The walking coordinates are being analyzed...the route is being reconstructed..."

A few seconds after Lan Zhirou raised the question, Bai Jin came to the conclusion that their minds were affected by something indescribable, and they were spinning in circles. Because Bai Jin and Lan Zhirou shared the same brain, Bai Jin were similarly affected.

This kind of influence is like when people have no reference object, they will subconsciously not be able to walk in a straight line.

"...Then where are we now?"

"Well, if the analysis results are correct, we should be at the entrance to the woods."

"Pfft..." Lan Zhirou almost spit out a mouthful. Walking together for so long was a complete waste of time? She clearly remembered that in the dense forest, the path was a straight line.

When she forced her way out of the gap in the woods and saw the scene in front of her, she realized that what Bai Jin said was not wrong. The metal sign with the collapsed note of the hiking trail ahead was still here, and the road into the dense forest was still there. But it has disappeared, which is why Lan Zhirou has been unable to find the exit.

"Hmph..." Lan Zhirou looked at the familiar metal sign and snorted coldly, "It seems that we still have to take this so-called hiking trail. Anyway, if this place is much worse than the abyss, wouldn't it? Very boring?"

"Meow!" The cat on her shoulder meowed dissatisfiedly, as if to say that I am no worse than anyone else.

Lan Zhirou, who had arrived here again, glanced at the mountain road where the morning fog had dispersed, and continued on the mountain climbing path.

"Why did she come back here? Didn't she choose to take a small road during the previous live broadcast? Is that road a dead end? I went to the toilet, squatted in a pit and came back again? Isn't the rule of looking back correct? Is it really okay for her to turn back?"

"It's not that she chose to come back here. She kept spinning in circles when she was on the path. From the perspective of the audience, the road is also straight. It seems that the weirdness can only affect this place..."

"If anything, she probably didn't break the rules. She just took a long way back here and didn't look back once."

In the world of ghost stories.

Ever since Chun turned into a "cute" kitten squatting on her shoulder, the frequency of Ruoyouruowu's strange sounds has become much less frequent, and its impact on Lan Zhirou has become minimal.

When we got here, we didn’t know why there were fewer tourists, but we could still see many tourists at the foot of the mountain.

Lan Zhirou still misses that weird sound a little bit. After all, walking on this endless hiking trail alone is too boring. And as she gets closer and closer to the top of the mountain, Lan Zhirou can clearly feel the speed of her movements. Descended, a journey that should have taken five minutes now took eight minutes to complete.

"It seems that it is indeed everywhere in Qingzhu Mountain..." She sighed to herself, "Whether it is physical exertion or mental interference, they are all trying to make tourists turn back and go back down the mountain... But okay The Tsubaki seedling obtained in the abyss is indeed useful, and it can no longer affect me through mental interference."

As the mileage recorded by Platinum reached 2,500 meters, Lan Zhirou also stopped on a forked road with a road sign next to it and a crumpled note next to the road sign.

The piece of paper seemed to be placed there deliberately, tempting people to open it.

[←Comprehensive tourist rest area (including hotels, swimming pools, billiards halls, and integrated massage centers, welcome to visit)]

[↑Hiking trail and lotus pond (the swamp in the lotus pond is very dangerous, do not enter)]

【→Scenic Area Staff Rest Area】

【↓The road down the mountain】

After reading the street signs, Lan Zhirou slowly opened the note in her hand, but what was written on it was completely different from the previous rules.

[Having seen this note, have you noticed that something is wrong here, the rule of not turning back, the vague shouting behind you, or maybe you have been lost here before, or have seen Some disobedient people. 】

[I’m telling you, unfortunately, you have been contaminated, but please don’t make it public. 】

[We are a government department secretly investigating this place. We have been investigating this place for two years. Now we have found a way to save tourists who mistakenly enter here. 】

[You can see the comprehensive tourist rest area on the road sign. I know you are worried that you will not be able to go back and continue climbing, but you should read what I say below first. 】

[There is our secret stronghold in the comprehensive tourist rest area. At the entrance of the hotel, you can see a table covered with a blue tablecloth, with many red masks on it. Put on the red mask, that is the only thing that can make you The way you escape is also a way to tell us that you still retain your sanity and to rescue us. If you don't wear the red mask, we can't be sure whether you are like us, and we can't provide you with any assistance. . 】
