The Ankang Orphanage is surrounded by high walls and looks cramped, but it actually covers a larger area than they imagined.

The open space outside the classroom was dotted with flower beds and lawns, as well as some wide and narrow walkways that connected to the main road in front. There were some short trees with withered branches planted on both sides of the road.

If it were spring, the scene here would be completely different. But now the wind was howling, and the air seemed to condense into ice that penetrated into people's bones and froze the blood in their bodies.

Song Guicheng stood in the yard, looked around, and shivered unconsciously.

It wasn't raining, but the yellowish mist made the sky even darker. The ground under my feet was still wet from yesterday's rain.

"Work in groups of two. This way it will be faster and we can also look after each other." No. 105 looked at the slightly empty courtyard.

Acting in groups is obviously the fastest way to explore.

Everyone divided into groups according to No. 105's suggestion. No. 108 insisted on being in a group with Song Guicheng. Of course Song Guicheng didn't care, but just asked him not to tell horror stories when he was looking for the door later.

No. 108 pouted and said, "You really don't want to listen?"

"I don't want to," Song Guicheng rejected him righteously, "Why are you so persistent in telling it?"

No. 108: "I don't want to be the only one who is afraid..."

Song Guicheng: Good job, why don’t you form a group with others?

No. 108 continued his twisted logic: "When you tell others about your pain, the pain will be shared. Similarly, when you tell others about your fear, it will..."

"It will become double the fear." Song Guicheng retorted expressionlessly.

In short, after Song Guicheng strongly protested and threatened not to team up with him, No. 108 finally gave up the idea of ​​sharing the fear.

On the other side, No. 116 found a lone player and planned to team up with him.

The two had already made their agreement and were preparing to set off when his shoulder was suddenly patted without warning. He turned around in horror and saw No. 118 with a slightly angry look on his face.

No. 118 was really angry. He called out his name yesterday, which violated the rules, but today he just ignored him and blatantly looked for someone else to team up with!

He was just about to make a sarcastic remark when he saw No. 116 stunned for a moment. There was a very strange look on his face. He frowned and thought for a few seconds, then showed an expression of sudden realization.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he apologized immediately, "I... I didn't expect you..."

No. 118 was even more furious when he heard this, and he immediately said, "Oh, you didn't expect me. You thought of me when you called my name when you entered the dungeon, but now you don't think of me when you violated the rules and your life is in danger, haha."

“No, listen to me…” No. 116 took two steps forward and was about to explain, but No. 118 did not give him the chance and turned away.

Looking at the angry back of No. 118, No. 116 seemed to be hesitant to speak. He really didn't remember No. 118 just now. It was not that he ignored him intentionally, but he subconsciously didn't remember the existence of this person.

If No. 118 hadn't come to find him, he would have probably forgotten about this person's existence.

It was a very strange feeling, as if this person's presence in the crowd was deliberately weakened, even his memory.

No. 116 looked at No. 118's receding back and exchanged glances with No. 114 next to him, both of them looked a little embarrassed.

However, in order not to waste the little free time for exploration, he decided to talk to him about this matter before going to bed at night.

Song Guicheng took Xiao Ba - the code name he gave to No. 108, and walked along the path. On both sides of the road was muddy black soil with some footprints on it. Apart from that, there was only cold wind and dead trees.

The thick fog penetrated into their bodies, and Song Guicheng coughed lightly.

The wall was so high that they could not see a door or even a rat hole in the area they walked through. The bricks and stones were tightly built, imprisoning them firmly.

"There's nothing here." Xiao Ba looked around and kicked the stone under his feet, and the stone rolled into the thin haze in front.

He pulled Song Guicheng and prepared to go somewhere else to have a look, but he saw that the stone he had just kicked away had rolled back by itself.

Xiao Ba stared blankly at the incredible scene in front of him. The irregular blue-gray stones rolled along the stone slab under his feet, gurgling all the way to his heels.

"Ah——" He screamed in fright and jumped onto Song Guicheng.

However, Song Guicheng was too weak to bear his weight, and they both fell to the ground.

"Hiss——" Song Guicheng fell heavily on his butt and screamed in pain.

He looked at the frightened Xiao Ba beside him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Ba's gaze shifted from the stone to Song Guicheng. Seeing Song Guicheng's frown due to pain, he said, "The stone I kicked just now rolled back by itself."

Stone?

There were stones under Song Guicheng's butt. He supported himself on the ground and stood up, moving his legs and feet. After making sure that there was no serious problem, he helped Xiao Ba, who was sitting on the ground, up.

"Where did you kick just now?" he asked.

Xiao Ba pointed to the right front with trembling hands.

Song Guicheng pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's go and take a look."

"Go, go and have a look?" Xiao Ba was shocked by Song Guicheng's boldness. He touched his shoulder and showed some resistance. "What if it's something terrible?"

Song Guicheng brushed off the dirt on his clothes and said in a dark tone: "If you don't get rid of him now, what if he comes to find you at night..."

"Alright, alright, alright, stop talking!" Xiao Ba covered his ears, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, as if he was a martyr, "Let's go!"

Song Guicheng wanted to laugh when he saw this.

Based on his limited experience, running away when encountering trouble in a dungeon is definitely not the right choice. Hiding can bring temporary safety, but it is not a long-term solution.

Only by facing challenges head-on and burning your bridges can you complete the copy as soon as possible.

The two of them stepped into the wet mud, and their shoes made a sticky sound when they stepped on it.

The yellow fog was everywhere and visibility was very low.

Song Guicheng and Xiao Ba behind him crouched down and tried to make their footsteps as light as possible, for fear of disturbing something invisible.

He suddenly smelled a very strange smell in his nose, the smell of raindrops falling on the ground. The smell was very light at first, but it became stronger as the two walked forward.

Song Guicheng asked softly: "Do you smell it?"

Xiao Ba shook his head blankly, then realized something and asked nervously, "What do you smell?" He had obviously associated it with something bad.

Song Guicheng didn't answer him, but just said: "Let's go, we're still ahead."

The smell became stronger and stronger, his chest felt stuffy, and cold sweat appeared on his palms.

After walking about five or six meters, Song Guicheng suddenly saw a figure appear in the mist. The figure was fat and bloated, standing silently under the tree, facing the direction of the two of them.

A wave of fear ran through his body.

When he looked again, it had disappeared again, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

If he were in the real world, he would just think that he was too nervous and had hallucinations, but in the strange copy world, every subtle change would make him think again and again.

After all, most of his life is in the hands of some unnoticed details.

Song Guicheng calmed himself down, took the amulet out of his backpack, asked Xiao Ba to wait there, and went forward to take a look.

Xiao Ba stretched his neck to take a look ahead and insisted on going with him: "This way, if one of us dies, there will be someone to collect the body."

Song Guicheng: “…” I really didn’t expect this.

[I think this child can speak since he was young]

[Hahahahahahahahahahaha, you’ve considered it so thoroughly that you’ve even thought about what will happen after your death]

[Useless players and useful details]

……

However, when the two of them got closer and saw the scene in front of them clearly, Xiao Ba regretted why he didn't stay there and wait for Song to return.
