Chapter 85 The Wandering Travel Group (Sixteen)

Because of Ah Kong's special physique, her body's reaction was greater than that of others as soon as she entered the dark alley.

In the darkness, A She couldn't see her pale face, but he could still feel her cold fingertips.

"Are you... huh... okay?"

She was a little worried, so she slowed down her rapid breathing, reached out and pulled the person closer to her.

As a result, as soon as he made a move, he was rejected by Ah Kong.

Before Ah She had time to be surprised by this strange action, he felt his right palm being forcefully spread out by the other party.

The next second, she felt a few words written by the other person's trembling hands in her palm.

"Don't move, there's something behind you."

Ah She froze in place for a moment and felt his neck getting cold.

Then she seemed to realize that her current state of extreme tiredness was not right.

Although she had only walked a dozen meters, she felt more tired than after having just experienced a battle.

After she realized what was happening, she immediately tried to shake off Ah Kong's hand.

The result was predicted by the other party. Ah Kong grabbed her wrist with one hand and continued writing with the other hand.

"It's useless. I have it behind me, and the same goes for the players in front of me."

Because of his personal skills, Akong can feel the existence of these things better than normal people.

Although she sensed the eerie atmosphere in the alley from the beginning, she didn't realize at which moment, or what the player triggered, that caused so many things to happen.

After all, normally not everyone should be infected.

But now——

In the darkness, although she couldn't see the appearance of the players walking in front of them, she could see white shadows overlapping on the players' shoulders, and their number seemed to be increasing.

Her teammates were all behind her, and in this situation, she didn't dare to look back rashly.

I had no choice but to write on my palm to communicate with Ah She temporarily.

At this moment, Nan Huan behind him felt a strong wind swaying back and forth.

It was like something was fighting in the air, but it didn't touch me.

But she could clearly feel the wind blowing over her.

The next second, white mist suddenly rose in the air, blocking the already confined vision.

The outlines of Nanhuan and Beixi are no longer visible.

Bei Xi held her hand for a moment, and the next second, he seemed to want to hold her in his arms.

But the agile movement suddenly stopped, and the other person's body temperature began to drop.

Everything happened unexpectedly, and Nan Huan reached out to pull Bei Xi.

There was a thick fog and she felt nothing.

The person who was holding me just now disappeared in an instant.

Before she could even shout, the team in front of her started to get in chaos.

"Ah...what..."

The voice stopped abruptly. I didn't know whether the speaker met with an accident or the white fog restricted something.

In short, the surroundings became quiet again, and Nan Huan could not hear any sound at all, as if she was the only one left in the alley.

Nan Huan reached out to touch, and found that there was nothing left of the originally crowded team in front of him.

She stood there and waited for dozens of seconds.

There were no system sounds, no players, and no approaching danger.

This situation was very strange, and Nan Huan was a little confused.

"Mr. Tour Guide, are you still there?"

Nan Huan did not give up and called Xiao Tao again.

After all, I am a member of the tour group, so the tour guide won’t abandon me.

But her words were like a pebble falling into an abyss, and there was no response.

"System, are you there?"

Nan Huan bravely took a few steps forward, then turned around on the spot, as if he was feeling something.

Then, not giving up, they continue to harass the system.

No matter how difficult this map is, with all the dangers of climbing mountains of swords and diving into seas of fire, there must be a way to deal with it. How can I just leave myself here alone?

Oh, there was a strange flash in Nan Huan's eyes. Strictly speaking, he was not alone.

But the flaws are so obvious, why don’t you take action yet?

Whether it was the movement behind him or the system's response, there was only silence.

Nan Huan staggered forward two steps. She didn’t dare to go too far, after all, Bei Xi disappeared here.

I didn't even try to see if I could really get out by walking around the alley.

She was now certain that, except for herself, the other players must have triggered something and were temporarily trapped in the alley.

If she really went out, she would not be able to see Bei Xi anymore.

Thinking of this, she remembered Bei Xi's instructions just now, saying that she should try not to touch the walls on the inside of the alley.

But this shouldn’t be the reason. After all, Bei Xi never touched the inner wall from beginning to end.

But there was no other way at the moment, so she had to give it a try and grope for the inner wall in the dark.

The tentacles were very smooth, not like ordinary walls, and felt slightly cool and inexplicably familiar.

Nan Huan's fingertips paused, as if he had guessed what the wall inside the alley was.

But she touched it for two full minutes and didn't find anything unusual.

I just felt that the strong wind behind me that had just disappeared came again.

She had no choice but to turn her head to the dark void and spoke tentatively, "Well...why don't you show up? It's a bit scary to follow me silently like this..."

Although she didn't know what was behind her, she didn't sense any malice and remained polite.

It was not known whether it was the earnestness in her words that worked, or because of the white fog, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw several figures suddenly appear behind her where there was nothing before.

To be precise, a familiar figure and several blurry white shadows appeared.

"Aliu?"

Nan Huan's voice rose, and he didn't expect to see the other person again.

After all, her body had been kept in Beixi's warehouse. Nanhuan thought she could rest in peace, but he didn't expect that they would have the chance to meet again.

However, she seemed different from the A Liu he had seen in the past. There was a bit of fierceness on her face, unlike the ignorant look before.

Her figure was not as solid as before, but more like a ghost, with her entire body floating in the white mist.

However, the several white shadows behind him were different. They did not even have facial features. They were standing opposite A Liu, and the two sides seemed to be in confrontation.

When A Liu heard Nan Huan calling her, she gave her a look as if responding, but did not speak.

"Is it because I haven't done what I promised you that you haven't left yet?"

Nan Huan remembered that the special mission had not been completed yet. Isn't it generally said that the dead are unwilling to leave because their wishes are unfulfilled?

She also wanted to take this opportunity to ask A Liu what kind of help he could provide.

But before he could open his mouth, he saw the other party gently shook his head, then looked at the white shadows, and even his eyes became sharp.

After being looked at like this, the white shadows started to show their fangs and claws, and rushed towards Nanhuan.

Nan Huan finally understood.

No wonder I always felt strong winds behind me, it turned out that A Liu was helping me block the white shadows.

No wonder other players were walking out of breath, but I was fine.

She did not trigger the game or the rules, not because of her ability, but because someone was carrying the burden for her.

Perhaps it was because he had already seen all of this, and there was no need to hide it anymore.

So Nan Huan saw that, because of A Liu's protection, several more white shadows emerged from the strange inner wall, and they seemed not to stop until they achieved their goal.

Although A Liu looked much stronger than those white shadows without facial features, he could not withstand the enemy's human wave tactics.

No wonder everyone disappeared but I am still here.

The other players should have triggered the game rules and entered the next task.

However, because he had a spirit behind him to protect him, those white shadows didn't find any chance to perform, so he was stuck here.

Considering what the system just said, that the important NPC A Liu was polluted, it is very likely that she has been somewhat or partially out of the control of the game.

So I feel like a player stuck in a bug, restricted here.

After realizing this, Nan Huan hurriedly stopped A Liu when he was about to attack again.

"A Liu, thank you, but please let them come over."

A Liu glanced at her in surprise. Although he couldn't speak, his surprised expression had already revealed his emotions.

They are here to harm you, why should you let them go?

How to explain to an NPC that she is actually in a game? In order to advance the game, Nan Huan had to follow the process.

"Their numbers are still increasing. You alone are no match for them, but I am still very grateful for your protection."

Nan Huan carefully considered her wording, not wanting her words to sound like she was making a deal.

"I am willing to do what I promised you, and I don't need anything in return from you. And I said that when things here are over, I will take you away from Fengmenling."

"My friends, I don't know what these white shadows have triggered. I can't just leave them alone, so I have to go and take a look."

A Liu put down her raised hand. After listening to Nan Huan's words, she just shook her head.

But it seemed that this expression was not appropriate, so she simply stood next to Nan Huan and turned to look at her.

Maybe it was due to system limitations or some other reason, but Liu couldn't communicate with him using words, so Nan Huan could only guess what he meant by feeling.

"Don't you want to leave Fengmenling?"

Thinking of some things he had learned, Nan Huan asked a question without quite understanding it.

A Liu shook his head again.

That means she is willing to let me take her away. That's good, that's good.

"So what you're saying is that you're not doing this to repay me, but to follow me next?"

This time, A Liu nodded.

Nan Huan was originally thinking whether Liu could also be taken to the warehouse in her current state, in case something happened later and he couldn't take care of her, but he saw her nod with a firm expression.

The white shadow over there, seeing that A Liu was no longer trying to stop him, didn't care about anything else and rushed forward and fell on Nan Huan.

Nan Huan felt her body becoming heavy and cold, and her eyelids became heavier. In a trance, she seemed to hear the system prompt sound.
