It was dark all around. The bridge was a stone bridge, very narrow, and covered with moss and green vines that looked like snakes.

When he walked onto the bridge, Chen Xin subconsciously looked down the bridge, and was startled. He took two steps and bumped into You Jie.

You Jie turned around and saw that his face was pale, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xin's eyes wandered around, not knowing where to look. In the end, he could only stare at You Jie, "Under the bridge, it's too weird."

After hearing what he said, everyone walked two steps to the bridge and looked down, and found that the so-called river under the bridge had turned into an endless abyss emitting dark green light.

If you listen carefully, you can hear a faint howling sound.

"That's impossible. I observed this river when I got on the bridge just now. It was indeed a normal river at that time." Yin An muttered to himself.

"Yes, the river just now was just an ordinary river, not like this..." You Jie said with certainty. Yin An was not mistaken, but the river might have changed after they crossed the bridge.

Now, not long after walking onto the bridge, people began to retreat again.

You Jie and Chen Xin went to the river to check and found that the river had returned to the state they saw at the beginning.

Chen Xin began to doubt himself, "No way, am I dazzled?"

You Jie put his hand into the water and scooped up some water to see if there was any change. So what went wrong?

Ruan Jiyan, who was also included in the list of taciturn people, spoke in a serious voice: "What time is it now?"

This sentence has no beginning or end, which makes people confused.

It seemed that as soon as Ruan Jiyan opened his mouth, the barrage of comments in the cloud live broadcast room became particularly lively.

Wuwuwu: [??? What did she say?]

ppoo: [It's a beating, others are working hard to solve the dungeon, she is estimating the time. Is the answer in the time? ]

Kenkekao: [I predict that what this full-level newbie says next must be related to what the big guy behind her taught her.]

You Jie wiped his wet hands, stood up, and asked her, "Is there any way to ask for the time?"

Ruan Jiyan shook his head innocently, "No."

The slight expectation in Youjie's eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Crow Wu Yu: [Hahahaha, help! I’m about to lose my temper. My friend who made the prediction, are you okay?]

Youjie nodded disappointedly and walked to the bridge.

Yin An noticed her and walked over to tell her: "When we came out of the werewolf, I noticed that the clock on the wall seemed to have stopped at around ten o'clock. We were not moving very fast. If we estimate, it should be almost twelve o'clock now."

She knew that the moment the ghostly vision appeared under the Soul-Guiding Bridge, she guessed that the time should be twelve o'clock.

She couldn't say it directly, but how could she let them know without saying it that the bridge couldn't ferry people when the twelve o'clock illusion opened?

Youjie was still observing from the side of the bridge and tried to walk onto the bridge again to determine if what they saw on the bridge was an illusion.

Unfortunately, when he walked onto the bridge and looked down, he still saw the dark green abyss.

"I went to check again, and it was still the same. It didn't seem like anything was wrong, so I should be able to leave."

Ruan Jiyan tried to dissuade him: "I think we should wait and see... I'm afraid of death."

After she said this bluntly, Chen Xin and Zhang Jing also began to nod. Chen Xin waved his hand to let him come down first, "You Jie, you should come down first."

Seeing that everyone was under the bridge and had no intention of going up, You Jie had no choice but to go down first.

Shu Chi: [No way, no way. The total level of this group of people is over 100. Why do they feel like they are being led by the nose by this level 3 newbie?]

Hold You Tight: [I feel like this level 3 girl doesn't have much real power. She's just pretending. Why do you believe her?]

thing: [Yes, maybe she is just lucky, and now that you guys are praising her, she starts to act pretentiously.]

…

You Jie walked down slowly and appeared in front of them through the thin mist. "What should we do now? We can't stay here forever."

He had already seen the barrage in the cloud live broadcast room. As the person with the highest rank in the team, he naturally became the one to lead everyone. But now everyone seemed to have begun to involuntarily lean towards Ruan Jiyan. You Jie felt a little uncomfortable.

"You Jie, your hand..." Li Mingyue seemed to have seen something incredible, and she raised her phone mechanically and pointed at You Jie's hand.

"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at Youjie's hand when they heard her words.

I don't know when it started, but Youjie's hand slowly became translucent and emitted a faint white light.

You Jie panicked. He closed his hands slightly, then pinched his right hand hard with his left hand, but found that he couldn't feel anything at all.

"I don't feel any pain anymore..." he murmured.

Chen Xin reminded him: "Don't worry, do you have any healing tools with you?"

You Jie, who was still in panic and unable to think, reacted and sat on the ground, found a bunch of props and started to treat himself.

It took a long time for my hands to return to normal.

Now not only You Jie, but also Chen Xin and the others started to panic. You Jie was the only one in the team with high ability and many items. If even he couldn't heal, then they would be at a loss.

Ruan Jiyan is still as calm as ever. Although she is only level 3, she behaves like a high-ranking boss.

You Jie asked her hesitantly, "Did you notice anything?"

"It just feels a little weird, maybe the bridge will return to normal in a while."

You Jie concealed his panic and forced himself to calm down so that he could think better.

A few people walked back a few steps and kept a certain distance from the river.

As the changes in Youjie's hands began to extend to his arms, the entire team fell into despair.

Am I really going to die here?

Zhang Jing sobbed, "If I had known earlier, I would have let the werewolf kill me. It's better than dying in this desolate place!"

Ruan Jiyan rolled his eyes at the air, then stood up and walked towards the bridge.

Before they could even utter a word of dissuasion, Ruan Jiyan had already stepped onto the bridge.

She looked at the bottom of the bridge twice. The river had returned to normal. The dark green light had disappeared and it returned to what they saw under the bridge.

That means it's past twelve o'clock and you can cross the bridge safely.

She did not get off the bridge, but said to the people on this side of the bridge: "The river has returned to normal, it should be possible to cross now, hurry up."

After hearing what she said, the five people quickly stood up and walked onto the bridge one after another.

Sure enough, without the dim light, I could no longer see anything under the bridge.

You Jie walked up to Ruan Ji Yan and asked her, "If you had walked onto the bridge just now and found that the river was still the same, wouldn't you be afraid of becoming like me?" From his expression, it seemed that he cared about her very much.

It didn't look like his hand was like this because of the bridge. She had also touched the bridge.

Ruan Jiyan's face showed that ignorant and innocent expression again, but in fact he was really annoyed with You Jie in his heart, as he felt that You Jie wished he was like him.

[System, did you see that? He is testing me again.]

[Are you too good at pretending... oh no, too bad at pretending? ]

[I didn’t expose myself…]

hehe.

After they safely crossed the bridge, they followed the route drawn on the map to get an approximate location and then continued on their way.

You Jie's hands behind him had become completely translucent. He raised his hands slightly to prevent them from touching his body. However, he slowly couldn't keep up with the team's pace, and he was walking slower and slower, watching several people disappear in front of him.

…

After passing through the dead forest and desolate countryside shrouded in dark fog, they finally found a house. There was a fence around the house, but it was open. Yin An walked up and knocked on the door.

Two seconds later, a voice came from inside the door: "Who are you?"

…

Who are they?

Yin An stepped forward: "We are...are..."

Hearing him stumbling over his words, the person inside the door asked again, "Are you the Big Bad Wolf?"

Well, it’s Little Red Riding Hood’s home for sure.

"We are not big bad wolves. Sister is here to help you go to grandma's house." Ruan Jiyan stated the mission directly.

"I don't believe it unless...you can sing the song that grandma taught me."

"I, I, I, I'll do it!" Chen Xin raised his hand excitedly.

He rushed to the door and said, "Rocking, rocking, rocking to Grandma's Bridge...Grandma..."

Before he could finish, the door was slammed. Chen Xin was startled and took two steps back.

Li Mingyue glared at Chen Xin, pushed aside the people in front of her, and sang to the door: "I am walking alone on the small road in the suburbs. I brought some cakes for my grandmother to taste."

After singing just two lines, the door opened.

What appeared before them was a half-grown child with golden hair, a red hat, big and cute eyes.

"Please come in." Little Red Riding Hood waved her hand politely, motioning them to go into the house.

"You Jie!" Chen Xin called out to You Jie from behind, but no one responded.

Everyone turned around and didn't notice You Jie at all.

For a moment, everyone stood there in a daze.

Clearly Youjie was by their side not long ago, how come he suddenly disappeared now? Where did he go?

Chen Xin spoke first: "He wouldn't just abandon us here and run away, would he?" Sure enough, he was the only one who could say this at this time.

With a hint of sarcasm and disbelief in his tone, Ruan Jiyan stared at Chen Xin for a few seconds behind everyone.

In the beginning, You Jie was the highest-ranking person in the team and led them. Chen Xin was a little dissatisfied with his self-righteous look. On the surface, he was very obedient to him, but in fact, he was very jealous and wanted to make trouble from time to time.

Now that You Jie is missing, he is worried, but also secretly happy. If, if something really happened to You Jie, wouldn't he and Yin An be the ones to lead this team?

While Chen Xin was still secretly fantasizing about becoming the leader of the team, Ruan Jiyan's voice penetrated into everyone's ears.

"How about we go back and look for him? At least we should find out what's going on. We are teammates after all. How can we leave him alone in such a dangerous place?"

The slight hint of joy on Chen Xin's face disappeared in an instant, and he frowned and asked her: "Didn't you always say that you were afraid of death? Now you want to find him to die together." After saying that, he added, "You are just a newbie, but you still want to save others. It's really funny."

What he said was true. Ruan Jiyan looked at him calmly as he finished speaking. But she didn't know why You Jie left. Her intuition told her that it was either related to the Soul-Guiding Bridge or to that bug.

"I'll go back and take a look." After saying this briefly, Ruan Jiyan was about to leave.

Several people just watched her leave, standing still and watching her pretending, thinking that she would definitely come back crying and dejected, saying that she was scared.
