While the two of them were discussing, the changes in the village further escalated. The wet and cold wind blew, and the forest appeared in front of their eyes for a while, and then the forest quickly changed into a desolate plain, and small ponds popped up on the land under their feet from time to time.No matter how anxious Lu Yanli and An Xingyu were to find the village chief, it was impossible to run fast in this road condition, so they could only keep an eye on their feet.

Where is the mayor?The village has fallen into complete chaos, can they really find the village chief?

Besides, even if he found the village chief, would he admit it easily?

The sky was getting darker and darker. It was clearly daytime just now, but now it was no different from night. Their vision range narrowed again, and they didn't have any lighting equipment on their bodies.

There was another puddle in front of him. An Xingyu didn't pay attention, and stepped into it. To his surprise, it seemed that his foot had stepped into a bottomless pit, and he sank directly into the puddle!

Oops!

An Xingyu was startled, and immediately wanted to pull out his legs, but half of his legs had fallen into the water, so he could only hold on to the wet soil and try to climb up.

He clearly sensed that there were hands at the bottom of the water, grabbing his ankles and pulling them down!

"Brother Lu, please help me." He called out to Lu Yanli who stopped by, "Please!"

Lu Yanli didn't hesitate too much, and grabbed An Xingyu's outstretched hand with great strength. His strength was completely different from the weak-looking surface, and An Xingyu broke free from the puddle in one fell swoop. .

What disturbed him was that the water in the puddle looked normal, but after An Xingyu crawled out, his lower body seemed to be soaked in blood plasma, completely soaked by the viscous red liquid.

this liquid...

"Thank you." An Xingyu didn't talk too much nonsense. After taking a short breath, he was about to get up and stand up. However, when he raised his head slightly, his eyes immediately widened, as if he saw something incomprehensible, "This, This is……"

Lu Yanli stared at him for a second, and after making sure that nothing happened to him, he also looked up. This action made his pupils shrink instantly.

In the sky that has completely turned into darkness, there is a pale paper man floating up and down, with crooked smiling faces painted on their faces like children's stick figures. They are wearing bright clothes and painted on their faces He took out two red circles and showed a big smile.

No, more than one.

More and more paper figurines floated out from all directions, dangling and floating in the sky, and the smiling faces painted on the faces were obviously very simple, but it made people seem to see rotten human heads. It is extremely realistic, and you can even smell the strong stench that has been rotting for a long time.

It's like someone is flying a kite!

As if aware of their gaze, the eyes of those paper figurines looked down...

"Don't look up! Go forward!"

Lu Yanli just glanced at it, then quickly lowered his head. The memory he had cultivated compulsively over the years allowed him to completely recall the scene just now. Those lanterns... Looking back carefully, the faces are very similar to the villagers he saw during the day!

Perhaps they are villagers.

When An Xingyu looked up, the paper people suddenly fell straight down, and they were about to fall on them!

An Xingyu was not an idiot either, he quickly lowered his head, and the two concentrated on running forward without saying a word.There were more and more water puddles on the ground. While identifying the location of the water puddles, they used the reflections reflected in the water to see the orientation of the paper figurines.

"whee……"

"Hahahaha……"

The paper people let out crisp laughter, high and low intertwined.

Don't look!

Don't listen!

The night was getting darker, it was so dark that you could hardly see your fingers, and their pace of progress was getting slower and slower.

And the laughter of the paper people above their heads was getting closer and closer, and gradually turned into hoarse and cold laughter. That kind of sound didn't seem like a living person could make it at all.

However, no matter how difficult their journey is, they must not stop still. Once they stand still, the paper dolls floating in the sky will keep approaching, and the soil under their feet will quickly become wet. Swallow it in, so no matter how difficult it is to walk, they try to move to the unknown front.

"Brother Lu, where are you going now?" An Xingyu lowered his voice very low, he could feel that the other party was beside him, and he was slowly moving forward.

However, the aura from the opponent's body was extremely cold.

"Go on." A voice answered him.

"En." An Xingyu responded.

But under his calm appearance, there were turbulent waves in his heart.

This is not Lu Yanli!

Who is following him?

Cold sweat broke out on An Xingyu's forehead, but he tried his best not to make a sound, but remained expressionless.

He is just an ordinary high school student. After being involved in a supernatural event for no reason, his first reaction was not to believe it, but out of inner fear, he followed the mission instructions and came to an abandoned school, waiting for the mission to start.

And during the first mission, he witnessed an extremely terrifying supernatural phenomenon, and that scene deeply shocked him. Until now, he still recalled that person's terrified face and the way he died with regret.

If the mission fails, he will also turn into a cold and rotten corpse, and it is very likely that even the corpse will not be left behind!

After logging into the website, he came into contact with many people who had to do the mission just like himself, and there are also a large number of memoirs preserved by survivors on the website.An Xingyu spent several nights going through all the records like reviewing before an exam, looking for possible patterns.

No matter what the task is, only those who are thoughtful and able to think calmly can survive. Those who panic at the beginning are easily eliminated.

Be calm, don't mess up.

All his collaborators who had worked with him assumed that he was naturally devoid of emotions, and only he knew that was not the case.He will be afraid, he will be afraid, but his strong desire to survive and a little self-esteem of a teenager prevent him from showing a vulnerable appearance.

Even in front of ghosts, he would never want it!

"Well, let's go separately, you go left, I go right." Hearing his own calm voice, An Xingyu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes still maintained an almost inorganic calmness.

Calm down, calm down...

After finishing speaking, he completely disregarded that the other party hadn't agreed yet, and immediately turned and walked to the right, but what frightened him was that that person... No, no, that thing also followed.

Even though it's pitch black and he can't see anything clearly, he can sense that that thing is not far away and is staring at him!

An Xingyu's pace became faster and faster, trying to get rid of that figure, but to his disappointment, in his perception, the thing coming from his side... was getting closer and closer!

The road was almost impassable at the moment, full of thorns and jagged rocks. Every step An Xingyu took, he would be scratched by sharp branches. At this moment, the red stains on his legs had already dried up, but there were endless small wounds , but he couldn't stop, he could only speed up as much as possible.

Once it stops, that thing will catch up!And the paper figurines floating in the sky will come to you immediately!

At this time, the ground in front of the road suddenly sank, An Xingyu didn't notice at all, his foot fell into the air, and he rolled down the slope.

The moment he fell down, he and the paper man in the sky looked at each other, and at that moment, he saw the paper man's magnified smiling face.

Why did the paper figurines speed up and float towards him as soon as they saw them?

The same is true for the thing that follows me. If I use my physical senses to perceive it, it will quickly approach me.

Then... An Xingyu had a guess in his mind.

The moment countless pale faces swooped down, stretched out his rotten hands, and the sharp claws were about to come in front of him, An Xingyu closed his eyes.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds...

There was no movement.

An Xingyu kept his eyes closed and got up from the ground.

He guessed right.

Once to perceive, to be perceived.

Judging from the touch of his palms and his body, he was lying on a flat ground at this moment, and all the thorns, rocks and puddles disappeared, and the exposed skin also felt the warmth of the sun.

He stretched out his hand to explore little by little, but suddenly felt a little warm touch.

He was about to throw away his hand subconsciously, but he immediately realized that there was a temperature, which meant he was alive.

They may be the only ones in the village who are still alive.

"Who are you?" he asked cautiously.

"Quiet, wait a minute." It was Lu Yanli's voice.

He also closed his eyes, busy with something in his hands, opened his eyes for a quick look from time to time, and then closed his eyes immediately.

In his hand is a half-person-high paper figurine, and the most frightening thing is that although the facial features on the paper figurine's face are painted with stick figures, they are somewhat similar to himself.

Lu Yanli just closed his eyes and completed a paper figurine of himself by relying on the momentary vision when he opened his eyes from time to time.

He only had a few chances to open his eyes, and he has almost used them up now.One of the paper figurines was only a step away from him, and if he opened it again, it could kill him.

An Xingyu didn't know what the other party was doing, but since there was a living person, he was more or less relieved, and waited quietly with his eyes closed.

What he didn't see was that after the paper figurine in Lu Yanli's hand was completely finished, he let go of his hand. Immediately afterwards, the paper figurine floated up lightly, and soon merged with other paper figurines.

Lu Yanli stretched out his hand to touch it, and touched it several times. After confirming that the paper figurine was not there, he slowly opened his eyes.

His whole body was tense, and if there was any abnormality, he would immediately close his eyes and leave, leaving An Xingyu to protect himself.

But luckily - he was right.

The paper figurine that made his appearance fluttered in mid-air, without any abnormality.

Only now did Lu Yanli have time to look around at the surrounding environment.

What came into view was a small courtyard in the forest, with wooden houses on the side, but all the paper figurines placed under the eaves were gone, and the originally hanging lanterns were also scattered crookedly on the ground.

It was Uncle Wu's yard.

He still had unused materials by his hand, some paper and thin bamboo strips, as well as a few thin skins with a light flesh color.

That's...human skin.

He dismantled all of them from the lantern, and there are still some materials left.

An Xingyu sat quietly on the side and closed his eyes. If he opened them, all the paper figurines would come down and kill him immediately!Thinking of this, his whole body was a little stiff, his lower body was covered with blood-red wet stains, those wet marks had dried up, most of the trouser legs were scratched by branches, revealing scars.

After a quick glance, Lu Yanli looked away, but the next moment, he immediately turned his gaze back to An Xingyu's lap.

To be precise, it's a mark on the calf.

It was a bright red mark, mixed in the red wet stains and scars, and ordinary people could not easily find it.

And the shape of that mark... Lu Yanli's whole body trembled.

He suppressed the excitement that might reveal the secret in his words, and said in a flat voice: "Wait, after a while, you can open your eyes."

An Xingyu didn't know that his secret was discovered. He sensed that Lu Yanli must be making some efforts. Hearing this, he smiled gratefully: "Thank you, I'll trouble you."

Lu Yanli took another look at the mark, and didn't start to make An Xingyu's paper figurine until it faded away because the blood that flowed onto it was completely dry and no liquid soaked it.

Because he had already made one just now, and opened his eyes this time, the efficiency was much higher. Soon, he made a paper man in the image of An Xingyu. After comparing and confirming that it passed, Lu Yanli flew it into the sky. , and then said: "Okay, now you open your eyes and try."

An Xingyu slowly opened his eyes.

This time, there were no paper figurines or black shadows swooping down in sight, and everything around him became normal.

The crisis is temporarily lifted.

Why didn't he know that it was Lu Yanli's credit?Immediately thank each other again.

"Thank you, no need." Lu Yanli smiled gently.

In the next second, he and An Xingyu looked at each other, their eyes suddenly became deep, and their words also carried hints of inexplicable and bewitching meaning.

"Relax, you're safe now..."

"After hearing a snap of your fingers, you will fall asleep...you will hear a few questions..."

An Xingyu's almost inorganic eyes became even more dazed, and he nodded in a daze: "Okay."

With a snap of his fingers, his head drooped.

On the other side of the village, Zhao Chuan had already reached the edge.

Not far in front of him was He Lou who was also out of breath. In the few hours just now, they escaped the pursuit of countless villagers turned into paper figurines, and finally touched the edge of the village.

"Quick! We can go out!" He Lou said loudly, "The time in the village is chaotic!"

Hearing this, Zhao Chuan quickened his pace.

They were running along a railroad track. At the beginning of the mission, they took the train to Honghe Village, but now, the station was right in front of them.

He Lou looked at the map, as long as they ran past that station, they would leave the range of Honghe Village.

hurry up!Hurry up!

The two of them didn't dare to slow down at all. Hundreds of meters behind them, groups of paper figurines floated out.

He Lou also came up with a solution in an emergency.Every mission must limit the ghosts, otherwise they would never survive. But this time, why are there so many paper figurines in the village?

Because these ghosts have no sentience!Therefore, they can only be found by increasing the number.

He Lou took advantage of this loophole and successfully rescued Zhao Chuan.

At this moment, the station is already in sight.

Seeing that the finish line was approaching, Zhao Chuan shouted loudly, and actually accelerated his speed under exhaustion, and rushed straight to the other side of the station.

He Lou followed behind him and was about to rush over, but in the next moment, his eyes widened, and he abruptly stopped his progress.
