Chapter 37: The Strange Burial in the Mist

Chapter 37: The Strange Burial in the Mist
The already dark forest now seemed even more gloomy.

The cold wind blew on them, making them feel cold.

Moreover, the thought that they might have been exposed made them even more nervous.

"Everyone calm down... If the female ghost has discovered us, it's not just a test, but she will come directly to kill us." Su Yuening said when she saw that the atmosphere was not right.

Sun Qian thought calmly for a while and said, "Yes, so the female ghost is at most suspicious now. We just need to reply, 'Dear, what are you talking about? I didn't draw any fantasy town.' I think we can deal with it."

"But what if there really is a painting of Gensokyo? Wouldn't we be completely exposed?" Xu Bing proposed another possibility, that is, Gensokyo is real, but they didn't find it.

Sun Qian was embarrassed: "It is possible, but all the paintings in the house are here, except for Gensokyo. If Gensokyo really existed, why did it disappear?"

At this moment, everyone was in a dilemma again.

They couldn't be sure whether there was a Gensokyo or not.

It is impossible to be sure whether the female ghost is testing them.

Just a little error in response could lead to the destruction of the whole team.

Now everything seems to have returned to the starting point.

How should I respond to this letter from the female ghost?
How can he continue to use ambiguous lines and deceive the female ghost without alerting her when he is not sure whether 'Gensokyo' exists?

This is a very difficult question.

"No matter what, let's leave here first. Xilin is too unsafe." Su Yuening looked at the sky that was getting darker and darker, feeling a little uneasy.

"That's right. Let's go back to the cabin and discuss how to reply." Sun Qian nodded.

Compared to the oppressive female ghost, the mysterious Xilin in front of him is not easy to deal with.

This damn unsolvable dungeon, every place is weird and dangerous.

Everyone took all of Lin Yuan's paintings back with them, and left the money, shovel and other things where they were. The things they could take were limited, and the less they took, the quicker they could get back to the cabin.

Soon, everyone set off again, but unfortunately this time it was not as smooth as the first time they came.

Before we knew it, white mist began to rise in the deep forest.

The fog was so thick that it was impossible to see clearly ahead.

"Be careful, stay together and don't get separated." Sun Qian reminded everyone and asked them to gather together.

Bai Wan frowned when he saw the fog. He remembered what his sister said...

"According to my grandfather, a hunter from a village went hunting in the woods. He lost his way due to the fog and ended up in an unknown place. There were tombstones everywhere and no living creatures seemed to exist. It was the land of the dead."

Bai Wan looked at the thick fog in front of him warily...

The situation they are facing now is a bit like what the hunters encountered before.

Is that dangerous thing hiding in the forest coming?

Bai Wan looked at the mushroom shop.

Nowadays, it only takes half an hour to deliver the large Sun Mushrooms.

No matter what, you have to hold on for another half an hour.

Only in this way can he have the confidence to protect himself when facing the unknown weirdness in the forest.

……

Xu Bing remained vigilant at all times, following everyone closely and not daring to leave the team.

She obviously hated being in a group the most, but now she had to stick together. She felt a little ridiculous.

She has been out of tune with others since she started school. She prefers to stay in the classroom alone and even gets annoyed when she sees people of her age. One time when she was reading in the library, she suddenly saw a black invitation on the table and came to the game for unknown reasons.

Originally, she thought it didn't matter because her life was boring enough and death was fine.

But when she really entered the weird game, she found out that she was wrong.

She was afraid of death, very afraid of death... She still wanted to live, even if it meant returning to the classroom that annoyed her...

Xu Bing looked at everything in front of him with full concentration.

I was afraid that something strange would suddenly jump out from the white fog.

However, as long as she followed the crowd, she still felt safe, especially after seeing Bai Wan's strange look when he fought alone.

As long as you don't fall behind... you can survive.

Suddenly, a hint of doubt flashed across Xu Bing's eyes.

Looking at the figures in front of her, she had a question: why were they so quiet?
Is it because of nervousness?
But it's not like there's nothing to say...

We haven't spoken for a long time.

I couldn't even hear anyone breathing...it was so quiet, so quiet.

At this moment, Xu Bing felt as if he was the only one in the deep forest.

No, that's not quite right...

Xu Bing quickened his pace, trying to catch up with everyone.

But... she found that the figures in front of her began to disappear.

Xu Bing was suddenly startled and came to his senses.

There is someone ahead...

She looked around blankly and found that she had fallen behind the team without knowing when, and now she was the only one left.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment around her, she couldn't help but panic.

There were no more markings…the markings of the trees were gone…she was lost.

hiss……

Xu Bing couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She actually got left behind in such a terrifying forest.

Swish!
Suddenly, she heard the sound of the grass around her shaking. It seemed to be the wind, but it also seemed not to be. When she listened carefully, the sound disappeared.

It was also at this time that a violent heartbeat began to sound in her body.

Boom boom boom!!! Boom boom boom!!!

The sound was even more intense than when she was in front of the warehouse door.

"Who... who is there?" Xu Bing's face turned pale as he felt such a violent heartbeat warning.

Not only did the heartbeat not slow down, it became even more intense.

Boom, boom, boom! ! ! !

Xu Bing finally couldn't bear it anymore and took out a black finger from his pocket.

This is her greatest confidence, a strange prop that she accidentally obtained in the previous round of the game, a strange finger.

Wow!

The moment the finger was taken out, blood began to drip, and the curse of the cursed object began to be released.

Xu Bing's ghost coins also began to be consumed.

But what made Xu Bing look unhappy was that before the black finger could be used for even a second, the blood on it disappeared, and it became no different from an ordinary finger...

Xu Bing found it hard to accept the scene before him. This meant that the things in the forest were so terrifying that the finger he brought out from the previous copy was suppressed in all directions.

"Even if it's not as weird as the 'Letter' instance, it's not even a second away..."

Xu Bing's face was pale, and he could only hear his heartbeat getting louder and louder, until it finally sounded like thunder in his ears.

It was also at this time that Xu Bing saw that, at some point, a cemetery appeared in front of her in the fog, accompanied by faint cries, and one tombstone after another stood strangely in it.

Then a cold hand grabbed her foot.

"what!!!"

With a scream, she disappeared forever.

……

When Sun Qian and others heard the screams coming from the woods, they couldn't help but tremble all over.

As they were walking, they discovered that Xu Bing had disappeared at some point, and they thought he must have met with great danger. The cries coming from the forest also confirmed their guess.

"This fog is so weird... everyone, be careful..." Before Sun Qian finished saying the words "be careful", he found that his heart began to beat rapidly.

Boom boom boom!
Everyone's expression changed.

Heartbeat warning? ?
Is that thing in the woods coming out?
"run!"

Sun Qian and others ran quickly.

Bai Wan also followed behind him. Suddenly, his expression tensed up as he saw tombstones appearing one after another in the fog behind him. His heartbeat also became faster.

coming.

The most terrifying thing in Xilin is coming!
