"It is said that last century, a young woman drowned here. Since then, her soul has been wandering here, full of resentment and seeking revenge on everyone here..."
At the front of the crowd, the female tour guide in a red hat was still narrating with great emotion, "...The locals believe that if you set foot on this island, you must bring a small gift as an offering to the island spirits, otherwise you will suffer endless bad luck and be possessed by evil spirits. In the past, tourists who landed on this island would bring a doll as a substitute for themselves and leave it here. If you still want to buy one now, here..."
Just as the tour guide was speaking, a small boat came around from a place they couldn't see. Two people wearing obvious ethnic clothing skillfully drove the boat to the shore and then set up their stall...
Dolls of different sizes were placed on display one by one. The largest one was half a person's height, and the smallest was a small pendant as long as a finger. There were more than a hundred of them, and you could choose from any of the standard ones.
The two locals smiled warmly at them, their eyes were definitely looking at lambs to be slaughtered, full of the evil stench of money!
"Isn't this forced consumption?" Guan Xiaoyue muttered, looking very dissatisfied. "They are well prepared and obviously in cahoots with the tour guide!"
"That's right. They didn't mention it before, but now they are saying it. It's obviously forced consumption!" Guan Xiaochun agreed.
"Are the people on the boat locals from the island? If we buy things here, will it be very expensive? But will it be bad if we don't buy them? Will this tour guide make things difficult for us?" With an uneasy look on her face, Lu Yuan leaned closer to Lin Xiaoman while speaking, and the hand that was originally holding Lin Xiaoman's arm naturally moved down and they held hands.
As if completely unaware, Lin Xiaoman's expression was equally uneasy, whispering, "This place looks spooky. If I don't buy it, will I really be plagued by bad luck?"
Although they were still discussing forced consumption on the surface, Lin Xiaoman was furious in her heart.
Oh shit!
Lu Yuan, this damn woman, has her lifeline at stake!
【20】
…
So, he planned to kill her the moment the safety period was over?
Damn, who gave you the confidence?
Although she is very cowardly, does she look weak? !
Besides, where was she exposed?
Lin Xiaoman thought that his acting skills were top-notch and there was absolutely no room for error!
Is it just a test?
Although the space is unusable, I can't feel the spiritual energy, all skills are dim and unusable, and I have nothing, but my real talents and skills are definitely there!
After all, Lin Xiaoman has studied medicine for so many years, it’s his lifeline!
If you get hit really hard like that, you won't die instantly, but you will definitely be stunned. A one-second dizziness is enough to kill you!
What to do?
Start fighting as soon as the safe time is over?
Wouldn't that be exposed to other people?
One Lu Yuan is definitely not a trouble. There are 17 troublesome people here, and some of them are even male with a female shell!
Maybe even the whole place is full of them!
Are you pretending to be confused?
What if this damn woman takes action directly based on the principle of "it's better to kill the innocent than to let the guilty go"?
Although he appeared calm on the surface, Lin Xiaoman was actually thinking in various directions in his mind, and was using all kinds of response plans.
Then, without waiting for her to make a decision.

…
After a short pause of less than 5 seconds, Lu Yuan let go, as if it was just Lin Xiaoman's illusion, and continued to hesitate and worry, "What do you think, do you want to buy it or not?"
As she spoke, Lu Yuan looked at Guan Xiaoyue, the bravest member of the small team, who looked up to her as the backbone.
According to her judgment, all the vital points were pressed, but there was no reaction at all?
Either an NPC or a rookie.
The former is not worthy of attention, and the latter is equally irrelevant.
Conclusion: Taolulu is not threatening.
According to her observation, Guan Xiaoyue was more like a veteran tasker, and must be paid special attention to and guarded against.
"Or, let's buy one. Those small ones shouldn't be outrageously expensive." Lin Xiaoman said in a panic, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
So, this means she is excluded and Guan Xiaoyue is the suspect?
However, as for the two sisters Guan Xiaochun and Guan Xiaoyue, she really didn't notice anything at all.
I can only say that everyone is amazing!
"It's up to you whether to buy it or not. However, as the old saying goes, it's better to believe it than not to believe it. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I hope everyone can abide by the local traditions. If you are interested, you can come and have a look..." The female tour guide encouraged everyone to buy dolls with dedication.
And just as she was walking towards that direction...

…
The countdown to the safety time ended. Lin Xiaoman had a very natural expression. He did not check the system screen immediately. Instead, he looked timidly towards the stall and looked at everyone out of the corner of his eye.
Those who are looking ahead are most likely the taskers!
It is obvious that although there may be one or two people who can participate in the No. 88 ranking just to make up the numbers, most of them are veterans.
No one would make such a low-level mistake as looking directly at the system screen.
Even if a mistake is made, it is very short and cannot be discovered at all at a glance.
Lin Xiaoman: Oh, oh, oh, it’s the first time she’s met so many ‘colleagues’, she’s a little confused now.
"Look, Lan Moer and the others have walked over. Why don't we go and take a look?" Guan Xiaochun said, pointing to the girls who were following the tour guide and approaching the stall.
Lin Xiaoman looked over.
Although I could only see a background, the information about the relationships between the characters was still transmitted to my mind just by looking at the different clothes.
Zhang Yuxuan, Lan Moer...
Everyone here is alumni of the same school and knows each other. However, some are familiar with each other, while some are just ordinary classmates.
Because of the close relationships among them, they were divided into small groups.
Lin Xiaoman thought that in each small group, the distribution might be half and half.
"Shall we go and take a look too?"
"Why not just buy it? Spend money to ward off disaster!"
"Tsk, it's all nonsense, I won't buy it!" Guan Xiaoyue was extremely firm.
"Sister, buy it and consider it as a donation." Guan Xiaochun shook her arm pitifully.
…
While talking, Lin Xiaoman had already quietly seen the system screen.
[The team that kills the BOSS wins. Or if you survive for three days, you will enter the next stage.]
There was a large message on the screen, followed by a three-day countdown in the upper right corner.
As for what is BOSS? Where is BOSS?
There's not even a shred of information at all.
Lin Xiaoman: Well, it’s all based on guessing!
However, the meaning of the latter sentence is very clear: if no one kills the BOSS, then the team that is still alive after three days will enter the next stage.
Conclusion: BOSS is hard to find and is unique.
Besides that, the word "survival" is worth pondering...
