Ning Mianmian originally thought that with their strength, they would be able to clean up these ghosts soon.

But the number of ghosts was much more than she had imagined, seemingly endless, they sprang out of the mountains and forests in an endless stream.

Most of these ghosts are very cunning, and will use the terrain to evade players' attacks skillfully.And they soon discovered that Lin Cen's team was the strongest, so they deliberately avoided these people and attacked other players instead.

There are too many players and ghosts, even if Love is there, there is no guarantee to protect everyone.What's more, in the dungeon, it is difficult for players to trust each other if they are not their own teammates, let alone obey the other party's command.

So even though Love has been trying his best to organize, the players were still scattered and scattered a lot.Many of them want to leave other people behind and sneak away from the battlefield; there are also those who are chasing by ghosts and running away in panic. The scene is chaotic.

When the battle finally calmed down, there were only five Ning Mianmian people left on the scene.

Ning Mianmian stood the crossbow in front of her, supported the crossbow to rest for a while.Looking around, there are corpses of ghosts and ghosts everywhere, in disorder, and the smell of blood is tangy.

Holding a sword in one hand, Jiang Wan pulled two ghosts over with the other, and said to the others, "Two were caught alive."

The two ghosts were tightly tied with ropes, one of them was a middle-aged man, his whole body had undergone changes, his eyes were blurred, his body was writhing in a daze, and a few strange syllables popped out of his mouth from time to time; The other is a young man in his early 20s. His body mutation is not high, and he still seems to be sane. He looks at him with sinister eyes, like a beast.

Love tried to communicate with the middle-aged man, but found that he couldn't understand what she was saying, but just looked at her greedily, as if wishing to tear her to pieces, so she had no choice but to give up.

Seeing this, Lin Cen at the side turned to the young man and said, "I have a few questions, answer them, and I'll let you go."

The young man looked at her sullenly, and said, "If you can't answer, kill me."

It was exactly the same as Li Xinjie's tone back then, without the slightest hesitation.

Ning Mianmian wondered why these people spoke so uniformly. Could it be that there is some belief more important than life?

Or is the result of betrayal more terrible than death?

Lin Cen smiled casually, and raised his hand to remove his chin.

She said, "Then what if I make your life worse than death?"

The young man's face changed when he heard the words, his facial muscles twisted slightly, and then blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Cen's eyes sank slightly, and he was about to do something when he heard Love say, "Forget it."

She looked at the man's dilated pupils, "I can't save him."

Lin Cen looked up at her, "How did you die?"

Love said: "I don't know, but the technology here is ahead of our world, and it may not be the category that modern medicine can explain."

Jiang Wan said: "It seems that the way of asking is not going to work, let's go to the destination first."

After she finished speaking, she swiftly killed the other ghost.

Everyone was about to set off, but a weak female voice came from behind: "Wait..."

Ning Mianmian turned around, only to see a thin figure slowly crawling up among the corpses of ghosts all over the floor.

It's Tao Ran.Blood was all over her head and body, and her face became pale from the loss of blood.The arm was injured, the flesh and blood turned out, and even the white bones inside could be seen.

She looked at the five people in front of her with pleading eyes, "Can you take me with you?"

Before Ning Mianmian could speak, Love had already walked up.

She knelt down, and while helping Tao Ran treat the wound on his arm, she asked softly, "Where are your teammates?"

Tao Ran wrinkled her face in pain, she said, "I don't know, I was too busy dealing with the ghosts, and when I came to my senses, they were all gone."

Lin Cen glanced at her, and said to Love: "I saw it just now. It was the other two newcomers running around. Qing Shan went after her, but he couldn't care about this side."

A hurt look flashed across Tao Ran's eyes, he pursed his lips, and did not speak.

Ning Mianmian couldn't bear to see it. Although she was not a very good person, if Tao Ran, a newcomer, was left in this kind of place by herself, it would be like a death sentence for her.

She looked at Lin Cen, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Lin Cen returned a soothing look, then turned to Tao Ran and said, "I can take you with me, but if there is an emergency, I can't guarantee your safety."

She paused, then added: "Also, don't try to play any tricks."

Tao Ran's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand."

The group set off again, considering that Tao Ran was wounded, Love arranged for her to walk beside Ning Mianmian and Rongrong.

Perhaps it was because they cleaned up too many ghosts just now, the road was very clean and there was no surprise attack by ghosts.

As the altitude got higher and higher, the smell of blood was blown away by the cool evening wind, and the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed.While climbing the mountain, Tao Ran cautiously approached Ning Mianmian and Rong Rongtao beside him, "You guys, are you all old players? You are amazing."

Ning Mianmian was about to say that she was just a newcomer, but felt that it sounded more like Versailles.Just when she was hesitating, Fluffy said, "That's right, for experts like us, brushing dungeons is like eating and drinking, it's no big deal."

Tao Ran looked envious, "Then how can I become as strong as you?"

Rongrong said: "Stupid birds fly first, hard work can make up for their clumsiness."

Ning Mianmian: ...

Did you ever speak like that?And these two sentences sound familiar, as if they were said by Love when she joked that Fluffy couldn't use a computer.

Tao Ran didn't mind Rongrong's attitude at all, "Can you teach me... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend, if you don't want to, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Fluffy nodded, "Yes, just give points."

Tao Ran was taken aback, "How much do you want?"

Rong Rong pondered: "1500 points per month is enough, I'm not greedy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Love tapped his forehead lightly, "Don't mislead me, my son, what do I usually teach you?"

Rongrong curled her lips, "Why did you mislead me, I can teach her more than enough... Hey, are you there yet?"

After a few people chatted, they had already climbed to the top of the mountain.

There is a dense forest in front of you, the shadows of the trees are dense and dark.Thinking of the ghosts that haunted the forest before, everyone's expressions became serious, holding weapons, and slowly moving forward according to the direction guided by the mobile phone map.

The signal on the top of the mountain is not very good, and the positioning drifts back and forth, so there is no way to determine the specific location.The left and right are in this area, and after a little discussion, they searched for clues bit by bit.

Li Xinjie, a girl, went to such a barren mountain and wild place by herself, what was she doing for it?

Ning Mianmian was thinking about it when she heard Lin Cen not far ahead say, "I found it."

The crowd immediately gathered around, Ning Mianmian looked around Lin Cen, and found that it was still just an ordinary forest, nothing special.

She asked Lin Cen, "Sister, what did you find?"

Lin Cen raised the sickle and waved it forward.

It is also strange to say that there is obviously nothing where the blade cuts, but it seems to be blocked by something, and there is a soft "dang" sound.Immediately, several colorful fine lines flashed in front of my eyes, like a spent TV screen.

Lin Cen said: "There is an invisible barrier."

Rongrong asked: "Is there a transparent wall separating us from the forest in front? But I don't see anything in front."

Lin Cen said, "It's not that simple."

She raised her hand, stroked the invisible barrier, and explained: "Compared to a wall, I think this is more like a screen. The forest in front of us is just an image on the screen."

Love agreed: "What we see from the outside is a normal mountain forest, but we don't know what's inside. Maybe something is staring at us right now."

Tao Ran's face turned pale, "What should I do, there won't be any ghosts inside, right?"

Fluffy was also told by Luo Fu that her hairs stood on end, and she was about to shrink behind her, but thinking of her master persona in front of Tao Ran, she endured it and said, "Small scene, don't make a fuss."

Lin Cen took out Li Xinjie's ID card from his pocket, "Stand back, I'll try this."

However, at this moment, the forest in front of her flickered slightly, and then a thin gap appeared in the middle.The gap grew wider and wider, revealing a black passage.

The passage was long and narrow, and the black stone walls on both sides were dotted with lights.A woman stood at the entrance, opposite Lin Cen, no more than two meters away.

The woman wore a short top and loose trousers, revealing a small section of thin waist, her long hair was tied up, and the lights were smudged between her beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

She looked at the crowd and said calmly, "I know what you are going to ask, so come in first."

Several people looked at each other and stepped into the barrier at the same time.The moment they entered the tunnel, the barrier behind them closed again.

Ning Mianmian turned around and found that she really answered Love's words. From the inside, the barrier was transparent, and everything outside could be seen clearly.

The woman introduced herself: "My name is Liao Shuang, and I am the person in charge here."

Love came forward with a smile, introduced her teammates, and finally asked, "Miss Liao, how do you know what we are going to ask?"

Liao Shuang said calmly: "Because you are not 'they'."

Lin Cen asked, "What does 'they' refer to?"

Liao Shuang didn't answer directly, but asked a question instead, "Do you know about parallel worlds?"

Her words were like a bomb, sparking a storm in an instant.Everyone exchanged a look, and many thoughts were born in their hearts.

After a while, Love replied: "Parallel worlds can be regarded as trains running on parallel railways. They may be similar to each other, or there may be some differences. For example, I am a doctor in both worlds, but in this world I like to eat apples the most, and I in another world may like to eat oranges the most, is this understandable?"

"Enough." Liao Shuang nodded, agreeing with her statement, "Let me tell you a story."

"In endless time and space, there are two parallel worlds, A and B. The geographical environment and population composition are very similar. To what extent are they similar? Most people in world A can find a parallel world in world B that is similar to their own conditions. of myself."

"However, the intelligence and physical strength of people in world A are superior to those in world B, which leads to the fact that the technological level of world A is decades ahead of that of world B."

"The two worlds have been living in peace and non-interference with each other. But the good times don't last long. Due to force majeure in world A, human beings are on the verge of extinction."

Ning Mianmian's breath paused lightly, and after touching the edge of the truth, a terrifying thought gradually emerged in her heart.

The lights in the corridor flickered, casting mottled shadows on Liao Shuang's face, and her expression also became dim.

"When world A was about to perish, 'they' worked out a way to go to world B."
