When Xu Shu woke up, the forest was still in darkness.

The sky was slightly bright, but not enough to illuminate the interior of the forest.He took out his phone and looked at it. The time was past six o'clock in the morning.

The red rope on the wrist still felt a slight pull, and the direction did not change.

Xu Shu took out the compressed biscuit, snapped off a third of it and ate it, took another sip of water, and sat on the branch to get up.

He already knew that this forest was very large, so Ji Chuan might be very far away from him.

Although it is very important to find Ji Chuan, he also has to think about what to do on his side if there is no way to reunite for the time being.

First of all, this compressed biscuit is definitely not enough to eat. If there is a chance, it is best to hunt some animals.

No matter how economical this bottle of water is, it can last for four or five days. There are so many animals in this forest. There must be a source of water somewhere. You can pay attention to it while walking.

Of course, the most important thing is how to deal with the threats posed by other players.

Xu Shu took out his props and looked at them.

In addition to the hand rope he got at the beginning, he also has a healing item card in his hand, which can restore him immediately even if he is seriously injured, which is not a bad item.

In addition... it is the "charm" that Ji Chuan gave him.

Damn it, he really wants to tear it up and throw it away!

Xu Shu held it in a gesture of throwing it down, but he didn't dare to actually throw it.

Although this skill is a bit of a thing, but at the critical moment of life and death, who cares about losing face?

The sky gradually became brighter, and the sun shone down through the gaps between the leaves. Looking around from where Xu Shu was, those strands of light actually made this place look like a fairyland in a fairy tale.

He sat for a while longer, and when the ground became brighter, he got off the tree and continued on his way following the guidance of the hand rope.

But now he was not in such a hurry, and walked around other places from time to time along the way to find water and food.

There were mushrooms growing under certain trees. He picked some common white mushrooms and put them in his backpack, but he dared not touch the colorful ones.

Occasionally, a hare would run across the grass, but Xu Shu couldn't catch up, and he couldn't make too much noise, so he had to give up.

There were small red fruits on some bushes, but he didn't recognize them, so he didn't dare to eat them casually, so he just picked some and put them in his bag, thinking that when he saw Ji Chuan, he would ask him, maybe he knew.

Just like this, I searched while walking, and soon it was noon.

The mouthful of compressed biscuits he ate in the morning had already been digested, and Xu Shu was so hungry that he was groaning. He was looking for a place to roast the mushrooms, when he heard the grass and shrubs being brushed in front of him. Swish" sound.

Either a large animal or a human.

Xu Shu immediately dodged and hid behind a clump of bushes, half squatted down, and carefully looked there from the gap between the leaves.

The voice was getting louder and rhythmic, and it sounded like a person.

The faint pulling force from the red rope on the wrist is also pointing in this direction, it might be Ji Chuan.

But he won't go out rashly until he sees someone.

Soon, he saw a tall and thin black figure walking out of the woods in front of him.

The man was dressed in black, with the cuffs rolled up to the elbows, his left hand was in his trouser pocket, and a sickle was in his right hand. With his back slightly bowed, he stepped through the grass step by step and walked slowly towards Xu Shu's direction.

Xu Shu's eyes lit up, he quickly stood up from behind the bushes, waved and called, "Ji Chuan!"

Ji Chuan looked at him, then looked to both sides of him, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Very good." Xu Shu said, and took off his backpack: "I have some mushrooms here, let's find a place to make a fire first."

When he lowered his head and opened the zipper of his backpack, his eyes fell on the red rope on his wrist—Mingming Jichuan is already here, why is it still pulling?

Xu Shu was a little puzzled, and looked up at the black bracelet on Ji Chuan's wrist: "Is there any movement on yours? Why is it still moving after the two of you met?"

Ji Chuan raised his arm slightly, glanced at the black rope, nodded and said, "There are more."

"Strange." Xu Shu thought for a while and said, "Maybe it will be effective for the whole game after using it? Forget it, let's get some food first."

So the two found a slightly more open place, cut off the nearby weeds, picked up dry firewood and lit it, skewered mushrooms with sharpened wooden sticks, and put them on the fire to roast.

Only then did Xu Shu ask about the business: "There should be a blank piece of paper in your bag too? Can I see it?"

Ji Chuan took the backpack and took out a piece of white paper inside.

Its size is about the same as Xu Shu's, the difference is that there are

There are tear marks, which should be the middle part of a large piece of paper.

Xu Shu said: "This thing must have a very important role. I think it may be the road map. It can only be used after it is put together."

"It's possible." Ji Chuan put the paper back, and when he took his hand out of the backpack, there was an extra pack of compressed biscuits in his hand.

He tore it open and handed it to Xu Shu: "This is for you."

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment: "No, I have it here, and don't I have mushrooms now? I still have fruits in my bag..."

He took out those red fruits while talking, "I just don't know if I can eat them, do you know them?"

Ji Chuan took one and didn't look at it much, so he wiped it with the corner of his clothes, held it to his mouth, and took a bite.

Xu Shu was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Is this really edible? Could it be poisonous?"

"It's sweet."

Ji Chuan took another bite. Seeing that Xu Shu was still hesitating, he passed the compressed biscuit forward: "If you are afraid of poison, you can eat this."

Xu Shu still shook his head, looked at the slightly blackened mushrooms, and said, "This should be cooked, I'll eat this, save the biscuits for now, and eat when there is no more food."

He took a bunch of mushrooms, and while blowing on it, he secretly thought that Ji Chuan seemed a little strange.

Although he had made inexplicable and sudden advances before, his movements were all stiff and his tone was strange, and he knew that he was forcing himself to do so.

But now, he unwrapped the precious compressed biscuit and handed it to him so naturally.From movement to tone to expression, it is as natural as if it has been done many times.

The more Xu Shu thought about it, the more strange he felt.

He reached out to pat off the soot on the mushroom skewers, and then his eyes fell on the red string on his wrist.

The rope was still beating lightly, heading...to the left.

Xu Shu took a quick look at Ji Chuan who was sitting directly opposite him.

...Is it so exciting?

If Ji Chuan wasn't here at all, then what the hell was sitting opposite him?

A player pretending to be like this with camouflage props?

Or—a ghost?

Unlikely to be a player.

Because no matter how you can pretend, as long as the other party doesn't know what the person Xu Shu knows looks like, then he can't become that person.

So, it's a ghost? !

Thinking about it carefully, in this mission, their completion condition is that the first three leave the forest, so there is already an unresolvable conflict among the players.

So even if there are no ghosts, sooner or later there will be a situation where everyone fights tit for tat.

Xu Shu also thought that under this premise, there should be no ghosts in this game.

I didn't expect... Not only did she have it, but she also looked very difficult.

This ghost turned into Ji Chuan and appeared in front of him, so what about the other players?

Could it be that there are other ghosts who become the players that the players have met in the game, so as to cheat their trust?

Could there be a "Xu Shu" in Ji Chuan's place?

"Why don't you eat?" Ji Chuan's voice sounded.

Xu Shu regained his senses, patted the mushroom skewers a few more times, and said with a smile, "There's too much soot."

He took a small bite of the mushroom, and the taste was so unpalatable that it made people want to vomit, but he could only make do with it and eat it first.

As for those fruits... Since "Ji Chuan" ate them, give them all to him.

Now he had to calmly think about what to do.

Since there are ghosts in this game, taboos must also exist.Before he triggered the taboo, even if the ghost followed him, it couldn't hurt him.

So it's best for him not to startle the snake, just act as if he didn't notice anything, and wait until he thinks of a way.

But speaking of it, he doubted the "person" in front of him because of the red rope on his wrist, and other players obviously don't have this kind of thing, so for them, the only way to distinguish ghosts is to notice What is the difference between this "acquaintance" around me and before.

This is not very easy, the game will leave a suitable time for the players, so the taboo this time should not be the kind that is easily triggered.

In this case, Xu Shu doesn't have to worry too much for the time being.

But... without triggering the taboo, ghosts actually have ways to kill people.

For example, just now, when Xu Shu asked him if this fruit could be eaten, he just picked up one and ate it.After seeing him eating, Xu Shu asked again if it was poisonous, and his answer was "it is sweet."

Before realizing that Ji Chuan had a problem, Xu Shu didn't think the answer was so weird, but now that he thought about it, it was a language trap.

Because he didn't trigger the taboo, the ghost couldn't say "not poisonous" to make him eat the fruit, but could only guide him sideways by answering irrelevant questions.

If Xu Shu really believed him, after seeing Ji Chuan eat the fruit, he would of course eat it without any hesitation.

As for the pack of compressed biscuits, it should be fine.

The taboo is unlikely to be "cannot eat food given by ghosts", because for players without props, it will take some time to distinguish ghosts.Before that, they are very likely to regard each other as real old acquaintances, and the probability of receiving food is very high.

In this way, wouldn't half of the people die at the beginning of the game?

In short, before thinking of a solution, Xu Shu must be careful in everything and not make any mistakes.

"Let's find other players after eating."

Ji Chuan looked at Xu Shu and said, "Only by killing them can we get the map."
