The next day, 218 passed all the information he had collected to Gu Nianchen, and he finally had a deeper understanding of this world.

During the time before entering the yellow tree hole, Gu Nianchen had been accompanying Bai Luoyu. He went to the hospital to see Bai's mother during the day, and then went out for a walk with Bai Luoyu.

In Bai Luoyu's words, the chances of passing the most difficult Seven Tree Caves are very low, so he plans to use his free time to complete some things that he has not done before.

Even if I really can't get through, I will have no regrets.

Especially with Gu Nianchen accompanying him, although they were just friends who had just met, he regarded him as a partner in his heart to make up for the regrets.

The time to enter the tree hole again soon arrived. Perhaps because of Gu Nianchen, Bai Luoyu was not as nervous as the first time.

When the time came, the two of them first went to their own chosen space, which was the place where Gu Nianchen had been teleported before.

Neither of them hesitated and walked directly into the yellow tree hole.

After the distortion of time and space, Gu Nianchen appeared in a mountain village.

It was night time, there was a pale white moon in the sky, everything was quiet all around, and there was almost no light in the village.

Only occasionally a rat would scurry across the street or a crow would fly overhead.

Looking at the strange scene around him, Gu Nianchen had already guessed that this was a horror space.

The streets were eerily quiet. Gu Nianchen now needed to find Bai Luoyu, so he closed his eyes and released his spiritual sense to search for Bai Luoyu's location.

Finally, Bai Luoyu's trace was found at the east end of the village, and Gu Nianchen headed in that direction.

Before he arrived, he heard Bai Luoyu's screams. Gu Nianchen didn't care about being discovered to be abnormal at this time. He changed his figure and hugged Bai Luoyu who was running with his head in his hands.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Gu Nianchen held Bai Luoyu in his arms.

"Yes, there is a ghost." Bai Luoyu grabbed Gu Nianchen's clothes tightly, trembling all over, breathing rapidly, and seemed to be very scared.

"It's okay, what did you see?" Gu Nianchen comforted Bai Luoyu.

"I saw a person in a costume combing their hair. I thought it was an NPC, so I wanted to see if it would trigger some quest plot. But when they turned around, their face was disfigured, dripping with blood. They couldn't utter a complete sentence, and all they could see was a blood-red void. It scared me to death."

Bai Luoyu recounted what had just happened to him, and his whole body was still trembling as he spoke.

"Don't be afraid, this is an illusory space, they are all fake, don't be afraid." Gu Nianchen thought that Bai Luoyu was really lucky. He went to a tree hole space and got the key to the space as soon as he entered.

This time, the plot was triggered as soon as I entered, unlike when I came in by myself and only saw mice and crows.

"But he was really scary. He scared me to death. I felt like I was stuck in a ghost wall and couldn't run away at all." Bai Luoyu felt a little better now. Being around Gu Nianchen always gave him a sense of absolute safety.

Gu Nianchen can handle whatever happens, and all you have to do is follow.

"Yeah, how about you wait here for me and I'll go see what the plot is?" Gu Nianchen said, touching Bai Luoyu's head.

Bai Luoyu was a little hesitant. On the one hand, he really didn't want to go over and see that person again, but on the other hand, he knew that this must be an important clue. He took a deep breath and said, "I'll go, but I'm going to hide behind you. I don't want to talk to him."

"Okay, you hide behind and don't look." Gu Nianchen took Bai Luoyu's hand and walked towards the direction where Bai Luoyu had just run.

From a distance, I saw a man in a green costume sitting on a well and combing his hair. He combed his hair very seriously, and it seemed that he did not notice Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu approaching him, and did not change his movements at all.

Bai Luoyu grabbed Gu Nianchen's clothes from behind and followed him carefully.

Gu Nianchen was not worried at all. Even if the Ghost King came, he would have to give him some face, let alone this ghost in the virtual space.

Gu Nianchen approached step by step, and finally when he was two steps away, the man in green suddenly turned around.

Bai Luoyu was originally watching him secretly, but when he saw him turn around, he quickly closed his eyes and hid behind Gu Nianchen.

"Hehe, little brother, I was just joking with you just now. You ran so fast that I didn't even have the chance to explain to you."

The man in green turned around, his face delicately painted. It was difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman, no matter his appearance, figure or voice. Under the pale moonlight, he had an eerie beauty.

"Why are you combing your hair again late at night?" Gu Nianchen knew that Bai Luoyu was still in fear, afraid that the man in green would return to his previous appearance at any time, so he didn't ask him to come and see.

"My senior sister was murdered and thrown into this well. I'm afraid she'll be lonely again. If you two can help me find the murderer and bury her body, I'll reward you handsomely."

The man in green seemed to be talking about something sad, and he took a handkerchief and wiped his face.

"Okay, let the two of us go investigate."

"Thank you very much. I will be waiting for good news here."

Gu Nianchen nodded and took Bai Luoyu away. Only after they walked far away did Bai Luoyu dare to look back at the man in green from a distance.

"Why do you want to scare me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Bai Luoyu muttered softly.

Gu Nianchen smiled and said, "He used magic to change his appearance later. What you see is real."

"Ah? Then why is he so miserable? Was he harmed by someone?" Bai Luoyu asked in surprise.

"It's still unclear. The mission he issued is to investigate the cause of death of his senior sister. Since they are wearing costumes, they should be from a troupe. Tomorrow morning, we will go and see if there is any troupe here."

After Gu Nianchen finished speaking, Bai Luoyu nodded. The darkness and silence around him still made him a little scared, and he kept holding Gu Nianchen tightly.

The two walked to the land temple at the entrance of the village. Gu Nianchen built a fire. The light made Bai Luoyu feel more at ease and she fell asleep leaning on Gu Nianchen's shoulder.

Gu Nianchen took advantage of this opportunity to search with his consciousness.

Suddenly, a short, fat old man with a long beard emerged from the ground and said, "War God Nianchen, War God Luoyu, and Land God, I am honored to meet you."

"I didn't expect that you would be in charge of this virtual space." Gu Nianchen smiled faintly.

"Haha, War God Nianchen is joking. I can come to any space in the Three Realms as long as there is a land god. I wonder what War God Nianchen is doing here?" The God of Land asked with a smile, stroking his beard.

"I'm training here, and I need your help."

"God of War Nianchen, feel free to speak."
