The wall lamps along the way were emitting dim lights, and there was no one else in the long corridor, but Ajin felt as if many pairs of eyes were looking at him.

When you are in it, you can hear the sound of dripping water. I don’t know where it comes from, but it makes people feel extremely cold.

Ajin thought that this familiar basement was the final destination, but he didn't expect to have to go further down.

After walking all the way, we came to a rusty iron gate. The waiter who was leading the way finally stopped and said, "I can only take you here. You need to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

These words made Ajin a little nervous. He wanted to say something, but the other party had already turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

He was left alone facing the heavy door, with the sound of running water always following him.

In that particularly clear dream, he was the only one left, with a tombstone without a name on it and four Polaroid photos.

Of those Polaroid photos, except for one that did not develop, the remaining three represented the fate of his companions.

Unacceptable.

Ajin took out the Polaroid photos from his pocket.

The one that could not be developed had been opened by him on the subway, and he had looked at the remaining three over and over again countless times, trying to see more information from the background of the photos.

But the backgrounds of these photos are darker and gloomier than the last.

After watching for so long, he could only see that the building behind Ye Changli's Sunny Day Doll had the characteristics of Fusang, while the Micro-Butterfly looked like the work of a certain organization.

He joined the Night Watch without hesitation just to learn more. He had to know more details behind those Polaroid photos so that he could save his companions when danger came.

Ajin gritted his teeth, pushed the door open and walked in.

But unexpectedly, what was waiting for him behind this rusty iron door was not a night watchman, nor a prophet, but...

A place with beautiful mountains, clear waters and falling flowers?

Ajin almost thought he had walked into the wrong set.

Behind me is a gurgling creek with a fishing boat docked there, the rope tied to a wooden stake on the shore. Fish are swimming in schools in the water and there are lush aquatic plants. What comes into view is a dense peach forest. It is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom and the air in the forest is sweet and clear.

A piece of letter paper floated in the stream, winding down along the current.

Ah Jin vaguely saw some black ink on it, and seeing that the page of paper was about to float away, he quickly ran over and stretched out his arm to scoop it up.

The river water was clear, but icy cold, and I almost froze my hands off.

When he leaned over, he saw his own reflection in the water. It was still the same face he had seen for more than 20 years, but the style of his clothes had changed.

A short shirt made of coarse cloth, a dull color that is neither green nor gray.

It was obvious at first glance that he was not dressed like a modern person, but rather looked like an ancient low-level laborer. This made Ajin even more confused.

The page of paper he fished out was wet, and had content written in neat small characters. After being wetted, the writing was rapidly spreading.

[If you keep going forward, you will experience countless deaths.

Every time you die, you will lose some "insignificant" memories, and every time you pass a level, you will get a clue.

You can quit at any time, but you will lose the opportunity to get leads.

How many you can find is up to you. 】

The signature is: Administrator.

There was already a lot of ink on his hands, which had soaked through the paper. Ajin quickly turned to the back.

【Taoyuan Village Rules】

(My dear, when you see this letter, it means I am already dead. Please don’t go any further, leave this place immediately.

There is no paradise in this world. If you have been discovered by them or have a reason to move forward, please remember the following rules, which may help you.

1. No matter who you were, please remember that you were a fisherman in Wuling who made a living by fishing and accidentally entered here.

2. The villagers here are very welcoming. You can accept their invitation to stay in their homes, but please choose a house with chickens and dogs.

3. Don’t eat anything containing peach blossoms…

What should you not eat that contains peach blossom? Food?

The rules at the back were blurred and unclear, and Ajin was a little distressed. He should have picked up the note as soon as possible.

Only three rules are visible now.

No other rules are in sight, and the dangers multiply.

Ajin discovered that his mental power was useless here.

His stomach was rumbling with hunger, and he could not sense the presence of the three plastic surgery ghosts at all, so naturally he could not summon them out.

Without mental strength, he is just an ordinary person with a slightly above-average physical fitness and slightly more combat knowledge.

In other words, you can only rely on your brain to get through here.

Ajin touched his waist and found the dagger he carried with him was still there.

With his hand on the dagger, he hesitated for more than ten seconds, then gave up the idea of ​​committing suicide and going back to the previous game. He decided to explore forward first. The more information he remembered, the lower the probability that important memories would be erased when he died.

Looking at the scene here and thinking back to those rules, he felt more and more familiar with them. Wasn't this the required text in his school days?

I didn’t expect that he would be able to enter the text directly.

Who hasn't memorized that text when they were young?

Fortunately, it is not the rule of ancient Chinese. Although I can read most of the classical Chinese, if I misunderstand a few words, death will come immediately.

At that time, he envied and yearned for such a paradise, but after so many years, he can no longer remember the complete version.

I only remember something like "the paths are interconnected, the chickens and dogs can hear each other", "it is very narrow at first, but it is passable, and after walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly becomes open..."

I really don't remember the rest.

But if you follow the instructions in the textbook, the road is definitely ahead.

Ajin had eight hundred question marks in his mind.

Why did they suddenly start taking exams when they were supposed to satisfy their curiosity? Did the prophet feel that he was too useless and wanted to hone himself?

No wonder the waiter didn’t go in with him.

Ah Jin felt as if his feet weighed a thousand pounds and he couldn't move even a bit, but thinking of the clue he had been thinking about, he had no choice but to move forward.

He searched along the stream and even went to the empty fishing boat. As soon as he got on board, he heard a soft and pleasant voice:

[Do you want to leave Taoyuan Village? ]

Ajin refused.

He can't afford to lose face. He has finally come this far, and if he leaves without even trying, he will look down on himself.

He took a deep breath and walked into the peach forest.

The peach grove is planted along the stream, and the flowers are in full bloom, with each one full and plump.

The peach trees here are lush and leafy. It is spring time and the sun is warm overhead. Whenever the wind blows, the petals flutter down to the ground, filling the air with fragrance.

As he walked, Ajin saw a mountain appear in front of him, directly blocking the road ahead, but there was a small hole on the mountain wall.

Just like what is said in the text.

You can only get into this kind of cave by bending your body, or crawling on your stomach, as it is extremely narrow inside.

But there was wind blowing from the opposite side, and a faint light was revealed.

Ah Jin took out a dagger and held it in his hand, then crawled in little by little. After walking for about ten minutes, the room gradually became spacious enough for him to stand up and walk.

Soon, a flat and wide land appeared before our eyes.

In front of the houses that are arranged in an unusually neat manner, there are fertile fields and ponds. Men are working in the fields, and women are handing over bowls of water and cloths for wiping their faces.

An old man sat under a mulberry tree, fanning himself, children were chasing and playing on the edge of the field, a black dog was wagging its tail under the bamboo to enjoy the cool, and chickens were hiding here and there.

There is a sense of leisure and tranquility.

Her clothes and hairstyle were exactly the same as Ajin's.

Ah Jin remembered that it was written in the textbook that the villagers here moved here with their families to avoid disasters and never left again.

This scene seems normal.

But the existence of rules means that normality is the biggest anomaly.
