Kong Sang looked at him like he was throwing money away: "Of course he can sleep. For him, this is just another failed experiment."

“In Nie Qu’s world, there are only two concepts: failure and success. Don’t try to understand him by using other people’s values. Let’s go, I’ll go first.”

With his body blocked, Lin Changli forcefully walked in front of Kong Sang, putting his hands behind his back and pulling Kong Sang along.

Kong Sang's brows furrowed slightly. This man always made her feel uneasy, giving her a sense that she couldn't use him with a clear conscience...

Si Yu's comically bald face, devoid of any hair, showed a hint of defiance as he ran to the front to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lin Changli, putting his hand behind his back and sticking one out, waiting...

Kong Sang's lips twitched.

Lin Changli paused for a moment, then reached out and took the large, waiting hand...

Si Yu, who had inexplicably become the one leading the charge, quickly shook off the hand and cursed with a look of nausea, "Gays, get lost."

"Hahahaha." Kong Sang laughed uncontrollably. Si Yu was such a clown, so funny.

The three people watching the show behind them were speechless. What kind of place is this? Can't they show some respect for Tianhuang Village?

Qi Yun Shen was injured in the back, so he walked in the middle of the group, while Lan Ye brought up the rear. He didn't know if it was a hallucination, but after Kong Sang finished laughing, he felt that there was a female voice laughing behind him.

The sound seemed to be right next to my ear, yet also very far away...

Lan Ye's expression froze slightly, and he suddenly said, "Nie Kongsang, smile again."

The group fell silent. Kong Sang asked strangely, "Uncle, are you normal?"

"Enough with the nonsense, just smile already," Lan Ye said impatiently.

"Heh!" After Kong Sang let out a cold laugh, Lan Ye felt someone breathe on his ear, also with a cold laugh.

He instinctively fired his mutated bone threads, but there was no one beside him, except for Yu Wei, who was closest to him...

Qi Yun Shen focused his mind and controlled the bone threads to move away from Yu Wei in mid-air, angrily asking, "What are you doing?"

Lan Ye said awkwardly, "Sorry, but I think... this cave is haunted."

After listening to Lan Ye's account, the already dim cave felt even colder. Buried deep underground and never seeing the light of day, the group laughed and joked all the way to ease their mood.

You've just told me a ghost story!

Kong Sang wasn't afraid of mutated genes, but she was afraid of ghosts. She immediately shrank into Lin Changli's arms, her voice stiff as she said, "You mean that thing is repeating my laughter?"

Lan Ye forced a "hmm" and said, "I think we need to change our formation. Maybe it's just my imagination. Can one of you try walking at the back?"

Kong Sang shook his head frantically and hugged Lin Changli's waist tightly, his body language clearly indicating his rejection.

With Qi Yun Shen injured and Yu Wei, a young girl, everyone's attention was fixed on Si Yu's bald head.

Si Yu's eyebrows twitched wildly. He took a deep breath and walked behind Lan Ye.

"If you ask me, you're just scared out of your wits. A major general is a disgrace. I don't know how you got that rank. Hurry up and leave, nothing will happen to you."

The group continued forward, and Lan Ye scoffed, "Come on, Nie Kongsang, give us another smile."

For some reason, Kong Sang neither laughed loudly nor sneered, but let out a chilling low chuckle: "Hehe..."

"Holy crap, what the hell?!" Si Yu roared, instantly darting in front of Lin Changli: "I'm not going to walk behind you, whoever wants to walk can walk."

Si Yu's face was grim. He kept touching the back of his bald head, and goosebumps were visibly rising on his neck...

The faces of the group darkened. Si Yu could hear it too, so it wasn't an illusion... Why did they have to walk to the very back row to hear it?

Kong Sang's expression changed: "I'll go last. There must be a reason why I only repeat my voice."

"no."

"inappropriate."

“No.” Lin Changli, Si Yu, and Yu Wei all voiced their refusal.

Kong Sang shook his head: "It's alright. I believe there are things in this world that cannot be explained. I may be afraid of them, but facing them directly is the best way to resolve fear."

Lan Ye looked at him with admiration: "You said you were going to create something like the Sandi Group that would shock the world, and now I'm starting to believe you."

Kong Sang raised his chin and walked to the end: "Tch, you don't need to believe it, it will be true. You'll know how glorious it is to have me as your subordinate later."

Lin Changli followed, holding Kong Sang's hand the whole time, standing in front, fully alert...

This time, Kong Sang didn't laugh intentionally. The group walked steadily for seven or eight minutes when Kong Sang behind Lin Changli suddenly closed his eyes, struck with lightning speed, grabbed Lin Changli, and slammed him against the wall.

He turned and crashed headfirst into the hard stone wall, his body disappearing instantly.

Lin Changli gave a mocking smile, his body disintegrating into a stream of water and vanishing instantly...

The four people who remained: "..."

Si Yu was dumbfounded: "What is all this about? I don't understand at all!"

Qi Yunshen sneered: "Stupid. Someone wants Nie Kongsang to act alone. Lin Changli is keeping a close eye on him, so they have no choice but to create this mystery."

Si Yu gasped, instantly understanding. This person was quite adept at manipulating people's hearts...

Could... could this person really still be alive...?

Si Yu looked at Yu Wei, who had been unusually quiet ever since Lan Ye mentioned the ghost story, hesitated, then looked up at Qi Yun Shen, whose face was icy cold... and sighed, "What kind of mess is this?"

Kong Sang looked at the completely changed environment and said angrily, "Ai Tong, was this your doing?"

"Hmph, you really intend to lead them all the way if I don't take action? Don't you know how you're different from ordinary people? You don't even have this much self-awareness; is your brain made of mush?"

Kong Sang's peach blossom eyes held a deep understanding: [An Xiuqi, is that you?]

[Ha, that's quite an imagination. He's not important to you, and you're nothing to him. What are you thinking? That he'll die and turn into a system to come looking for you?]

Kong Sang's expression shifted: "Am I really overthinking it? I feel like something's not quite right..."

[Don't think about those unimportant things. I am the survival system. Are you going to continue your main quest or not? Get the items from the Phoenix Stone to replace the factor and slow down your life loss.]

Kong Sang stopped talking back. She really didn't want to die now. Emperor Sang's great cause was not yet complete, so of course she had to keep her life. She would obediently follow the red light route planned by the system.

Following the warning lines, we arrived safely at the deepest part of the cave without any incidents...

The temperature was frighteningly high; at least Kong Sang felt that her hair smelled burnt.

Everything in front of them was similar to where the priest was: a pool with an altar in the center, about half the size of a basketball, with irregularly shaped stones placed on top.

The difference is... the place where the priest is located is a lake, while the place where this broken stone is located is a pool of lava!

And the route her lover planned was for her to walk into lava... What a joke, she doesn't like hot bath water.

Go inside.

[I'm not going in. Go ahead and go in if you want. I suddenly don't feel like living anymore. Why don't you find someone else to bind with? Isn't Yu Wei some kind of world's female lead? Go find her and take a bath.]
