Lan Xi, a young Taoist practitioner of unorthodox methods, descended the mountain to livestream and earn money due to life's pressures. Right after starting her broadcast, she encountered a sca...
Until Lan Zimo saw the vendor take out a baked pancake from the fireplace and hand it to the first person in line in front of him.
"Your cake is ready, you can buy it with just one finger..."
Hearing the vendor's words, the man immediately reached out and said, "I want to buy some bread!"
The next second, the vendor reached out and grabbed the man's finger, snapping it in half with a "crack!"
Then he put his fingers into his mouth, took a few bites with a "crunch~" sound, and swallowed them.
The crew member who bought the cake didn't seem to feel any pain at all.
With a dull expression, he took the bread from the vendor with his finger-severed hand, stuffed the bread into his mouth, mixed with blood, took a bite, and a happy smile appeared on his face...
After reading this, is there anything Lan Zimo doesn’t understand?
He must have encountered a ghost!
No!
That vendor might be scarier than a ghost—
At this moment, Lan Zimo couldn't help but feel fear in his heart!
The moment his fear emerged, he found that his body was uncontrollably moving towards the vendor's stall...
In his heart, there seemed to be a voice bewitching his consciousness.
"Wait in line, eat bread, and live..."
But living like this is worse than death!
Lan Zimo struggled in his heart, trying to stop himself, but it didn't help much.
The result of his efforts was only to slow down his pace, but he could not stop it.
Just as he was about to walk out of the dense forest and be exposed, a warm hand patted Lan Zimo's shoulder.
"Zimo, calm down."
A string of awkward scriptures came to his ears. After a moment, Lan Zimo came back to his senses and saw his good friend Lu Sichen——
…
Half an hour ago, Lu Sichen came here earlier than Lan Zimo.
When he arrived, there was already a line in front of the pancake vendor.
Even he almost couldn't control himself and walked forward.
At the critical moment, he thought of the scriptures that the little girl had asked him to read.
Lu Sichen's memory has always been far superior to that of ordinary people since he was a child.
When filming, he only needs to read the entire script once to memorize the lines.
Even though those scriptures were very difficult to read, he had read them to the little girl several times, so she had memorized them.
After Lu Sichen silently recited the scriptures in his heart, he found that he was no longer bewitched by that unknown power to move forward.
Although he was temporarily out of trouble, as an ordinary person, he did not dare to advance rashly in such a place.
You can only observe in the dark first.
Lu Sichen clearly saw that those people in the queue were willing to pay anything they had in order to buy cakes from the cake vendor!
Even if it's just a part of the body—
The price the vendor charges each person is different.
For example, when it traded with Ye Yourou before, it wanted Ye Yourou's body temperature of ten degrees.
Now, Ye Yourou's body temperature is ten degrees lower than normal, so she looks pale and shivering.
Lan Zimo learned the information he observed from Lu Sichen.
The two looked at each other in silence.
Lan Zimo never imagined that when he took the crew to the mountains to film, he would encounter such a bizarre thing!
"What should I do now?"
Lan Zimo, who had always been in control of the crew, suddenly had no idea what to do...
Fortunately, Lan Zimo suddenly thought of——
"Oh right! My sister is coming to the set today. When she finds out we're gone, she'll definitely come looking for us!"
Now Lan Zimo seems to have no choice but to place his hopes on his sister...
But after hearing his words, Lu Sichen shook his head.
"Zimo, what time is it now?" He suddenly asked this question for no reason.
Lan Zimo lowered his head and glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist. "It's half past nine. What's wrong?"
"I remember you said your sister would arrive around noon today, right? It's been more than nine hours since noon. If she could come, she would have been here by now."
Hearing Lu Sichen's words, Lan Zimo was stunned.
"You mean, my sister can't solve the current situation?"
If his sister couldn't handle it, Lan Zimo felt that this time he might have to say goodbye to his family forever...
Fortunately, the next second, he saw Lu Sichen shaking his head again.
"The time on my watch is eleven o'clock now." Lu Sichen said, raising his wrist so that Lan Zimo could clearly see the time.
Seeing Lan Zimo frowning, he seemed to be unable to figure out the key point for a moment.
Lu Sichen explained, "When I observed them before, I found that some people complained that they had not eaten for a day, and some said two or three days."
"Among those people, some were clearly from the same crew as us. The time we separated should have been around the same, but the way that time was presented to each person was different."
"So I guess the speed of time here might be very different from that in the outside world."
"We've been here a long time, but outside, it might as well be noon."
Seeing the look of sudden enlightenment on Lan Zimo's face, Lu Sichen continued.
"I believe Lan Xi has the ability to resolve this incident, but I'm not sure whether we can still protect ourselves when she finds us."
Listening to his friends' words, Lan Zimo remained silent for a while.
Lan Zimo has always felt that he and Lu Sichen admire each other because of their talents and are equal in abilities.
But now, Lan Zimo suddenly discovered that Lu Sichen was much smarter than him!
There is no equality between them at all. He only thinks that he and Lu Sichen are equally strong in all aspects!
Suddenly one day I realized that I was just being smart in front of my friends, and that feeling was quite embarrassing.
But Lan Zimo didn't have time to feel embarrassed now, because he suddenly discovered that another stall had appeared next to the small stall selling cakes!
A vendor appeared out of nowhere and gradually became real in his sight!
The owner of the stall was an old lady with gray hair and two ponytails.
There is a stove in front of it with a frying pan on it.
The old lady chuckled, then her eyes fell on the people queuing in front of the pancake stall.
Then, under the angry look of the pancake vendor, it shouted, "Fried fried dough twist, delicious fried dough twist, fried dough twist that is better than pancake~"
Hearing its shout, many people who were originally queuing in front of the pancake vendor slowly moved in front of the old lady with twin ponytails.
"I want... fried dough twist." someone said.
…
On the other side, Lan Xi, under the guidance of Xiao Li, finally arrived at the place where the crew had previously filmed.
On the way up the mountain, Xiao Li was worried that the little girl was too weak to climb the mountain.
But in the end, he was the one giving directions to the little girl and running after her breathlessly and frantically.
During this period, the little girl had to stop and wait for him several times before he could catch up with her.
"Are you sure it's here?" Lan Xi stood under an ancient tree and turned around to ask Xiao Li.
