Lei Ze frowned and walked forward to completely extinguish the cigarette. He swung his toes and soon the cigarette butt sank into the reddish-brown soil, leaving a small hole on the ground made by the tip of his shoe.

"They started earlier than us, so it's normal for them to be ahead." Zild seemed to be rational at this moment, but the next second he said something that made Qiongzhi want to hit him on the head, "We need to be faster!"

“…”

Renault looked at Qiongzhi who closed her eyes in despair, and didn't know how to comfort her. In the end, he could only put his hands in his pockets and look away.

When Childe said "faster", he was not joking. Qiongzhi trotted after them, panting. Sweat beads slid down his forehead and fell into his eyes, making his nose feel sore.

"I don't want to go on!" He suddenly stopped and covered the eye that was stinging from tears, "I want to go back!"

He had never thought they should enter this cornfield from the beginning. After entering, he had passively followed them all the way, and now he was covered in sticky sweat from running...

[Damn, the host is so cute! ]

[So this is the true nature of the host without memories...]

[Damn it, honey, don’t cry.]

[The child felt so wronged and didn't want to come in in the first place, but these idiots insisted on coming in!]

"Don't tell me, I'd love to know if anyone chose not to enter the cornfield up ahead? What happened back there?"

[It seems that there are quite a few videos on Starnet.]

Childe and Forso had no idea why he was unhappy. Melinda was the only girl in their three-person playmate group, but she didn't behave like a "traditional" girl, and they had never seen her cry.

In fact, Qiongzhi was not crying. Her eyes were stung by her own tears. However, he did not want to explain it. He just rubbed one eye and shouted loudly: "I want to go back!"

In fact, what made him want to go back more and more was not only the bad experience, but also the feeling that was becoming more and more uncomfortable for some unknown reason, but he couldn't put his finger on what that feeling meant.

In short, I have to leave here. Everything should be fine after I leave here, right?

Childe and Forso looked at each other, grabbing their clothes and hesitating for a while. It was obvious that neither of them wanted to go back like this. After all, this was a rare opportunity for adventure.

But their friend's appearance made them feel that they were not doing well...

"Hey, I was wondering why I heard squeaking sounds. There really are some mice!"

Just when Childe and Forso were finally about to compromise, a snarling voice came from the other end.

Qiongzhi's eyebrows jumped violently. When this voice appeared, a voice also sounded in his heart: It's over, I can't leave.

The people who came were indeed Fudock and his three cronies.

Fudock still had a cigarette in his mouth, and the grayish-white smoke exhaled from his mouth, which was gently blown backwards by the wind and fell on the faces of several people behind him.

The two men were fine, as they obviously smoked regularly, so they didn't notice the smell of cigarettes. Only the only girl covered her mouth and nose, waved her hands, and walked to the other side.

Her tone was slightly accusing: "Aren't we going to see the Red House? You're wasting your time."

"Lily, don't be such a spoiler. This is time that has to be wasted." Fudock pinched the cigarette between his index and middle fingers and threw it on the ground. He didn't even step on it, letting the remaining bit of it burn.

Renault frowned and looked him in the eyes: "You can easily cause a fire like this."

"Tsk, who cares?" Fudock, not a very public-spirited person, shrugged off his reminder and turned to look at his brother: "You little rats, you actually dared to follow me."

Forso's face flushed red. He was six years younger than Fudok and was almost half his size. This feeling of always being shorter than Fudok made him very unhappy, so he stiffened his neck and said:

"You were the ones who broke in first! We're only here to take you back! When we get home, I'll tell Mom and Dad that you ran into the cornfield with them!"

"Tsk." The two boys behind Fudock sneered, as if they had heard a huge joke. "Only babies who are drinking milk like to complain. Hahaha, this is just a newborn hairless mouse!"

Their words amused Fudock. He glanced at his brother and said quietly, "Do you want to know what we are here for?"

His words set Qiongzhi's heart on edge. She was about to say she didn't want to know, but Zilder beat her to the punch and asked, "What are you doing here? What's the Red House?!"

It's over.

Qiongzhi pulled her hair irritably, and the uncomfortable feeling in her heart became even worse.

"Of course we're here..." Fudock deliberately stretched out his voice, "to look for treasure."

"Treasure hunt?!"

Fudock nodded, looking very compassionate. "Why, you don't know the legend of the red house in the cornfield, do you?"

When these words came out, Renault was the first to react: "You mean that..."

"What? What?"

The gaze directed at him was drawn away by Renault. Fudock gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction, then spoke louder, "The red house where the witch who was burned to death once lived is right here in this cornfield! She had a diary that could predict the future, and it's still in that red house."

Forso and Child looked at Renault, asking him to confirm whether what Fudok said was true. Renault nodded slowly under their gaze, and then added: "But I don't think looking for the red house is a good idea. First of all, it's just a legend. Even if the red house really exists, it is now a dilapidated building. Entering it is very dangerous."
