Chapter 59

Jongin knocked around and opened a hidden door. The door opened as soon as it was pushed. It was pitch black inside, but when the light was turned on, it was discovered that there was a path. Hongbai wanted to open the door and saw that Jongin had made a new discovery. He immediately volunteered, "I want to open the door, but I think it's dangerous outside. It's better not to open it for now. How about this, I'll go this way to explore the way."

Lanbai shouted and Hongbai rushed in. The door was very narrow and only one person could squeeze in. It was impossible for two people to get in at the same time.

Lanbai was unable to stop Hongbai from rushing in, and thought there might be danger inside. After a little hesitation, they heard Hongbai's footsteps coming from inside. Hongbai's voice came out from inside, muffled, as if it was partially blocked by something, and it sounded a bit uncomfortable to the ears: "Come in quickly!"

Jongin said, "I'll go in first, you should be alright, right?"

Lan Bai nodded.

Jongin was the first to enter the narrow secret door.

His voice soon came from inside: "Come in quickly. It's bright in here, different from the darkness outside. It seems safer than outside. Maybe we can go home from here. This is a way to the outside world."

Lan Bai walked in and found that the light was getting brighter and brighter. His eyes couldn't accept the stimulation and tears came out.

He looked around with wide eyes and found that the truth was just as Hongbai and Jongin said. He looked at them happily and asked, "Do you really think this is the way home?"

There was some confusion on Jongin and Hongbai's faces after they looked at each other. When they looked at each other, Lanbai realized that things seemed not quite as they had imagined.

He fell silent, observing the situation calmly and trying to determine where he had gone wrong.

Hongbai said to him, "Did you come here just because you heard me talking? I didn't say what you heard. I think you heard it wrong, or there is something wrong with this place. After I came in, it got my voice and imitated it, trying to lure you in, and then deal with us after tricking you in.

However, we are all here, and it is indeed safer. Don’t worry too much. There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain.”

Lan Bai nodded perfunctorily.

Hongbai sighed inwardly and glanced at Jongin, who suggested, "Why don't we walk around the area and see if there's anything useful we can take away?"

Red and White and Blue and White both nodded: "Okay."

Everyone dispersed and walked a few steps, looking for something nearby.

This is a very strange environment. You can see the sky above your head. The sky is bright, but there is no sun, no moon or stars. It is just very bright. Occasionally, huge clouds float and fly away overhead. However, although the clouds are beautiful, it is still terrifying when they block the light.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the light dimmed for a moment, and then got dimmer and dimmer, as if it would soon become as dark in here as it was outside.

Even though they came here, they could not escape the darkness.

They all want to go home.

I can't really stay here for the rest of my life, and I can't really die here, right?

They thought in their hearts.

They lowered their heads and searched.

The ground was moist soil, in which were wriggling many insects and half-hatched insect eggs.

The eggs are white or black and look very small, like a pile of scattered sesame seeds.

The insect crawled out, then quickly spread its wings and ran and jumped around in the air. It looked very disgusting and felt as if it made you feel uncomfortable and itchy all over.

Lanbai frowned when he saw them, and Hongbai just kept frowning all the way, as if he was enduring something with great disgust.

In addition to soil and insects, there are a lot of plants growing on the ground. Some of these plants are unrecognizable weeds with tips half a person's height. They sway slightly in the air as people walk and the wind blows, looking a bit scary. Some of the plants feel like food crops, such as straw, watermelon, or strawberry.

A lot of things were hanging on the surface of the plant, which looked like fruits or tumors. In short, it gave people a bad feeling. Hongbai frowned and didn't like these things very much. When he turned around, he was in a bad mood and didn't pay attention. He used a lot of force and broke something that seemed to be a fruit growing on the strawberry vine.

The reason why it is called a strawberry vine is because strawberry-like fruits grow on the surface of the vine. The broken things are the fruits. When one fruit breaks, the other fruits break one after another, rot, fall to the ground, and overflow with bright red, sticky liquid with a fishy smell. It looks a bit disgusting because many insects gradually wriggle out of the white particles.

Hongbai almost wanted to scream, but covered his mouth, quickly left the ground, came to Lanbai's side, and whispered: "Why don't we leave here immediately! I don't think it's safe here. We should find the next safer place as soon as possible to find a way or..."

Before he could finish his words, the insects grew a lot more, and a large number of white eggs suddenly rushed out from the ground, crushing the surrounding plants. The plants quickly withered and turned black, and became deader than dead. His red and white face finally could not be controlled and turned pale. His eyes turned straight, and he felt that he was about to die. He only had a little strength to support his body, and his soul almost flew away in fear at the sight.

Lan Bai quickly grabbed her, patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, let's go!"

Hongbai quickly came to his senses, nodded, and trotted out of the range of the plants.

After noticing something was wrong, Jongin approached them and left beside them. Moreover, because of the angle, Jongin was walking in front of them. Even if they were jogging and Jongin was striding forward, Jongin was still in front. It seemed that they could not get past Jongin no matter what.

Hongbai felt a little strange, and more of a feeling was that she was afraid. She tried to control this emotion that would be detrimental to her future actions. She gritted her teeth and thought, I have survived so many things, how can I fail here? I won't! There is no danger here at all. There are just a lot of plants and insects that are a little weird, it's nothing, they didn't touch me.

I'm not going to get hurt, and I'm not going to die. I'm going home.

Jongin was walking in front when he suddenly turned and said to them, "I see a road leading outside. Let's go out!"

Hongbai came back to her senses and found herself in darkness. She couldn't help but frown and blame Jongin in her heart. How could this man be like this? Didn't he understand the situation? He just led the way casually! The key point is that he knew that everyone was uneasy and was deceived. He just sent people to the pit like this? Did he collude with the monsters here? Damn it.

I shouldn't trust strangers.

Strangers definitely have bad intentions.

Even if there is a good-looking account, maybe it is a small account created by the official? This is normal. It is not uncommon. In those popular games, the small accounts created by the official can stimulate consumption and make customers feel great. The customers are satisfied, so why should they be unhappy? The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

She walked forward with her mind wandering, and suddenly saw a dark shadow in front of her. She didn't dare to ask, but walked over carefully, keeping a distance, staring wide-eyed, observing carefully. Her eyes had adapted to the changing light, and she looked closely and found that it was a blue-white figure. She was stunned for a moment, and thought in confusion, "Strange, how did he get in front of me?"

There was no movement from the blue and white.

Hongbai waited for a long time, and finally hesitated for a moment, walked over and patted Lanbai on the shoulder. Lanbai turned around, revealing a half-rotten face. Hongbai widened his eyes, turned around and ran away.

She ran two steps and suddenly found two people walking towards her. One was Lan Bai and the other was Zhong Ren. Both of them looked normal, but Hong Bai was frightened and was a little afraid to move forward. Hesitantly asked: "Did you see me? You recognize me, right? Do you remember who I am?"

Lan Bai said: "I saw it, I recognized it, and I remembered it."

Jongin said, "Are you hallucinating again? If so, you'd better figure out what's real and what's fake. This is a matter of life and death. You can't rely on us, right?"

Hongbai blinked his eyes and managed to calm down. He turned around and saw the rotten Hongbai flying over. Scared, Hongbai quickly ran to Lanbai and said with a wry smile, "I know. I saw you are real. No need to ask. Where are you going? Didn't we travel together before? Why did we suddenly get separated?"

Jongin answered, "You were walking at the end, and then you disappeared. We looked back and found that you were not in the group, so we came back to look for you, thinking that you should be nearby, and we found you."

Hongbai nodded doubtfully: "Okay, then where did you go before and turned around to find me missing? Is there something there?"

Lan Bai said, "Yes, we saw a map hanging on the wall, preserved in glass. There was a line marking the location of the escape route, and there was a line of small words underneath. The words explained the view on the map and told us that as long as we followed the last route, we would definitely get out. No matter what time it was, the route to the cafeteria would not and could not be completely closed."

Kohaku asked excitedly, "Do we have a chance to leave here?"

Lan Bai said, “Yes.”

Hongbai held his hands tightly and shouted hoarsely, "This is great!"
