Chapter 334: Inhuman (142) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]
"Fuck, what's going on?" Xiao Tang took several steps back and looked in that direction in doubt. "Am I hallucinating?"
"Obviously not," Bai Jinshu glanced at everyone present. Everyone's faces were mixed with confusion and vigilance. "If it was an illusion, it would be impossible for everyone to see it."
The appearance of this building was too abnormal. Everyone lost the mood to fight. Xiao Tang narrowed his eyes and quickly jumped to the side of the yellow-haired man: "Is this what you saw just now?"
"No..." Huang Mao was a little embarrassed after the fight. He wiped the dust off his face and said, "When I saw it just now, it was still a very vague outline."
"Brother Yin," the man with the whip who was fighting with Xiao Tang in the opposite team put away the whip and looked at the people around Bai Jinshu, "What is this thing..."
"I haven't heard of it." The man he called Brother Yin was probably the leader of the other team. Just now, he was heading towards Yuan Shanming but was stopped by Bai Jinshu. He looked very confused, "Where did the building come from..."
"Are you coming for this thing?" He raised his eyes and looked at Bai Jinshu and the others, the confusion in his eyes did not seem fake.
He really had no idea what was going on.
In the No Man's Land, each team leader has control over different routes. The place is so small that there will be some intersection nodes between the routes. At this node, there will indeed be a situation where Team A is about to trigger a strange story that Team B is completely unaware of.
However, there are mostly plains in the uninhabited area, with scattered forests. Most of the connected areas are in specific areas. Although each team has a different route, such a large building is built on the ground, so other teams on nearby routes should also know something about it.
How come he has never seen this thing?
"We..." Yuan Shanming was about to turn around and ask the two "natives" who brought them here, but when he turned around, he found that the two people were gone, "Where are they?"
"Damn it!" Xiao Tang realized belatedly, "ran away?"
The two "natives" I met last night had already run away to who knows where.
The fight started at the place where the two teams met. As the fight went on, everyone deviated from the route and no one knew where they were. The two amnesiac "natives" did not catch up.
"Who ran away?" The man in the cross-country uniform who had just cursed at Xiao Tang crossed his arms and said with a gloating tone, "Oh, there's still internal strife in your team?"
"What's it got to do with you!" Xiao Tang rolled his eyes. "Our team is having internal strife, and your team is having cataracts. Can't you see that two people are missing during the fight?"
"Really not," the man in the off-road uniform shrugged, "So those two ran away? I thought they were watching the luggage. I thought your team was pretty vigilant. Seven people were fighting and two of them were watching the bags. We are not so wicked as to take the other side's equipment in a fight. You guys are too vigilant."
"Who knows if you have bad morals? We should be on guard against others..." Xiao Tang said this in a casual manner before he suddenly realized, "Wait a minute! You said those two were checking the luggage?"
"Yes," the man in the off-road uniform nodded, his expression becoming more subtle, "So he's not one of your team members?"
"Hiss—" Huang Mao took a breath of cold air, "Sister Xiao Tang, our luggage was left there when we fought just now!"
There are a lot of camping equipment needed in the no-man's land. When fighting, naturally no one will carry the equipment, so they will definitely be left there.
Not to mention that they didn't have backpacks, neither did the opposing team.
At that time, they rushed over with such momentum that everyone subconsciously put their equipment on the ground and rushed over. No one expected this to happen.
This person said that these two people were there to look after the luggage. Doesn't that mean that they took the luggage with them and left?
Now everyone gasped.
Not long ago, people were saying that the two of them couldn't get out of here because they had no equipment, but now they are the ones without equipment.
Xiao Tang jumped up from the ground, turned around and wanted to run back to chase him.
“Hey, hey, hey—” the man in the off-road uniform yelled a few times, “Don’t run, what’s wrong with that building, ladies? Don’t you want to talk about this weird thing anymore?”
Xiao Tang gritted his teeth and said, "At least we should be able to get out before we talk about the weird things!"
All the luggage was taken away, so even if they triggered this strange story, they couldn't get out of the no-man's land.
"I knew these two were just pretending to be good..." Xiao Tang cursed as he turned around and looked at Bai Jinshu angrily, "Who is that, Ersi, which direction did we come from?"
They had long lost track of where they were going while fighting and running. The uninhabited area was endless and there was no reference point, so it was impossible to tell which direction they were coming from.
"It should be over there..." Bai Jinshu frowned and looked around, then pointed in a direction, "Can you catch up with him now?"
"Yes, why not?" Xiao Tang gritted his teeth, "How fast can these two brats run? Their fur hasn't even grown out yet, how can they outrun me? Huangmao, go!"
They said a lot of nonsense here, and the other team seemed to understand something. The man in the off-road suit was the first to laugh out loud: "Hey, it's a reconstituted family. Those two people can't be from other teams? Now they're running away with the equipment..."
Xiao Tang was very angry and had been trying her best to chase the two men. Now the man in the off-road uniform was gloating over her misfortune. She became furious and rushed over to fight him.
"Hey, I'm telling you, I'm telling you..." The man in the off-road uniform said wickedly while fighting, "If you want to deal with them, go deal with them. It's not like we stole your equipment. What's the point of hitting me?"
"It's mainly for the purpose of venting anger!" Xiao Tang cursed, "If you hadn't rushed over to fight, would our equipment have been taken away by those two brats?"
"Then go chase him, why are you hitting me?" The man in off-road clothes was puzzled.
"I'll deal with you first and then I'll deal with them! How can these two brats outrun me? Impossible!" Xiao Tang was so angry that his teeth were itching, "You're such a liar, I'm going to deal with you first!"
"Xiao Tang..." Yuan Shanming watched for a few minutes and felt that if the two continued to fight, they would not be able to recover the luggage. He took a few steps in the direction of Bai Jinshu and said, "How about we go after them first?"
Without equipment, there is no way to get out of the no-man's land. Although their current location is not far from the central subway station, it will take about ten hours to walk there, not to mention that they are not familiar with this area, and without equipment, the tolerance rate will be low.
Xiao Tang is fighting with the members of the opposing team. Why don’t they go and get the things back first?
Bai Jinshu thought so too.
"If you want to fight with him, just go ahead. We're leaving first." In the open space in front of him, Xiao Tang was still fighting with the other party. After shouting this, Bai Jinshu turned around and left.
It’s not that he was unwilling to help Xiao Tang fight, it’s just that he saw that the man in the off-road uniform in the opposite team didn’t take the fight with Xiao Tang seriously at all.
He had no intention of hitting Xiao Tang at all.
In the previous fight, this man had always been ruthless, but now, his fighting style was more like flying Xiao Tang like a kite. He didn't fight head-on but just dodged, leading Xiao Tang to attack but not letting her attack land.
Xiao Tang was not the kind of person who did not know the seriousness of the matter. She was just a little unhappy at the beginning and planned to fight with the opponent a few times to vent her anger. Then she turned around and chased the two natives. However, the man in the off-road clothes was really annoying. Xiao Tang became more and more angry and her temper flared up. She had to fight with the opponent.
The other people in the opposite team were obviously used to the style of the man in the off-road uniform. The man with the whip crossed his arms and said speechlessly, "Shi Yuan, stop playing around. Leave if you're sure there's no problem. You're wasting time."
"I'm not playing," Shi Yuan asked, "Can't you see? It's obvious that I hit it off with this comrade right away, and we made friends through martial arts."
"What a bullshit friend!" Xiao Tang scolded rudely, "You deserve a beating so badly, has no one ever beaten you since you were a child?"
"No," Shi Yuan said sincerely, "I have been good at fighting since I was a child. They can't beat me."
"Haha," Xiao Tang sneered, "Then you are lucky enough to be in trouble today. Wait."
Bai Jinshu pinched his nose speechlessly and looked at Guan Hongyan: "Xiao Hong, shall we go?"
The two men had probably already run away with their luggage. It was not difficult to defeat them, but one person could not take all the equipment, otherwise Xiao Tang would not have asked Huangmao to go with him.
It was naturally impossible for Bai Jinshu to go on his own, so of course he had to call a few people together.
The reason why he chose Guan Hongyan was naturally because he was most familiar with Guan Hongyan among these people. The two of them had not yet finished talking about the subway lock dragon well, and he still had something to ask, so he had to avoid Yuan Shanming, who didn't know what they did in the customs.
"Can you find someone else?" Unexpectedly, Guan Hongyan refused. "I feel that the building is abnormal. I want to stay here and observe it."
"Why don't we let someone else go?" Bai Jinshu was about to turn around and call Huangmao, when he felt Guan Hongyan suddenly hold down his hand. "Let Huangmao and Brother Yuan go? I think this building is not normal. It's better for you to stay here."
Bai Jinshu glanced at Guan Hongyan for a few seconds and raised his eyebrows subtly.
Guan Hongyan said that she "felt that the building was abnormal", but her eyes never fell on that thing once, but were always focused on the man named Shi Yuan.
It was obvious that she was saying "pay attention to the building" but her body language was actually conveying to him "pay attention to the time and distance".
What's so special about this person?
Before he could react, a girl he didn't know from the other team suddenly spoke up: "Wait, was this thing that close just now?"
"What is that?" Yuan Shanming turned his head.
"Architecture," the girl paused, "Did I remember it wrongly?"
"No, no, it's getting closer," the leader Yin Ge paused, "This is a wandering ghost without a camp. It hasn't reached the camping point yet. If we don't understand it, let's not get involved. Let's go."
"Shi Yuan! Stop fighting!" He shouted towards the battlefield, "Let's go, let them fight with their weird stories, and go back to our own route."
Shi Yuan obviously didn't want to leave, but since his team leader had said so, he took a few moves with some hesitation. He wasn't paying attention and was hit in the waist by Xiao Tang, causing him to gasp exaggeratedly.
“Hiss—” He covered his waist and complained, “You really did it, so dark?”
Xiao Tang rolled his eyes: "Black? You deserve it..."
Just when everyone's attention was focused on the two of them, Nian Yu suddenly pulled Bai Jinshu's arm.
"What..." Bai Jinshu had just opened his mouth when he heard the yellow-haired man's voice.
"That thing is coming!"
The next second, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
That building can actually move!
One second, it was several hundred meters away, and the next second, it was moving rapidly towards everyone.
There was no time to dodge or take any action. The moment they were shrouded in shadow, everyone was wrapped up in this "building".
Before Bai Jinshu had time to understand what was happening, he felt an extremely sharp pain all over his body.
This pain does not seem to come from the outside to the inside, caused by external objects, but rather seems to come from the inside to the outside, from one's own body.
The pain immediately dispelled all his thoughts and forcibly blocked his thinking. There was darkness all around him. The pain was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if it was fighting with his body. He didn't know how much time had passed before the space around him gradually brightened up. Bai Jinshu felt his whole body was sore from the pain. He could only try to sit up from the ground and look for his teammates first.
But the moment he raised his head, everything that happened before his eyes was obviously beyond his understanding.
All the teammates who were in this open space just now disappeared, and all that came into view were children who looked like they were not yet adults.
All that appeared before him were children, and they were all sitting on the ground. The older ones looked to be in their teens, while the younger ones were only four or five years old. All of them had a childish look on their faces.
But what was beyond his comprehension was obviously not that he had entered a group of children.
Instead, the clothes these children were wearing were all worn by the newcomers and team leaders in the open space just now.
Bai Jinshu widened his eyes slightly and immediately lowered his head.
What catches the eye is a pair of small hands.
He also got smaller.
The "children" here are the new people who have become smaller.
The children all looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, a little girl with pigtails took a deep breath and spoke in beautiful C language: "Fuck! I was wondering why you dragged me to fight! Now it's over! Everyone is involved. Are you satisfied? Isn't this pure insanity? Has no one ever beaten you since you were a child? Has no one put a leash on you?"
This is obviously Xiao Tang.
Bai Jinshu held his forehead with his hand.
Everything just happened so fast that no one knew what happened. But looking at the current situation, they must have been sucked in by the moving building and forced into a strange story.
“No…” A boy who looked only about four or five years old on the opposite side curled his lips, his tone a little guilty, “How would I know that the weird story you were going to do would move? I didn’t expect it. Who would have thought that the house would move…”
"Are you deaf?" Xiao Tang said something that was totally inconsistent with her cute appearance with her extremely cute face, "Didn't you hear your leader say that this strange story is still roaming around?"
"Besides, who said this was a weird story we were going to do? How the hell do I know if this thing will move?"
"Isn't this the weird talk you guys are going to do?" Brother Yin, the leader of the team on the opposite side, frowned.
"No," Yuan Shanming frowned behind Bai Jinshu and added, "In fact, we don't know what this thing is. It may be what we are looking for, or it may not be."
"ah?"
His words obviously caused great confusion to the opposing team. A few small kids who looked short looked at each other. Although their expressions were extremely serious, their childish faces made them look funny as if they were pretending to be mature.
"How come you don't know what weird talk you're going to do?" Brother Yin frowned, got up from the ground, and walked towards Yuan Shanming with his short legs, "Are you the new team leader? Don't you have a route schedule? Don't you have any advance checkpoints? Don't you have walked this route?"
Yuan Shanming had no choice but to repeat what he had said to the strange team leader.
"From N Port?" Brother Yin sighed and muttered, "I did hear that there is a Gu King in N Port..."
Although the teams in the No Man's Land do not meet each other and will fight when they meet, it is obvious that they are very tolerant of foreign teams that are not familiar with local rules.
The leader frowned, his chubby face full of worry: "What happened to your two escaped team members?"
"We met those two people last night," Bai Jinshu took the initiative to speak. "When we were walking on the road, they were sneaking and hiding behind a tree. We thought they were going to do something to us, so we asked Xiao Tang to catch them. In the end, these two people were no match for Xiao Tang. After we asked them, they said that they had lost all their memories and forgot their names."
"They don't have any equipment and I'm afraid they won't be able to leave here alive. We feel sorry for them, so we let them follow us." Bai Jinshu subtly concealed the main purpose of keeping these two people and beautified his team's behavior.
I originally thought that after hearing this story, the leader of the opposing team at best thought that their team was full of good people, or at worst thought that their entire team was not very smart.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Brother Yin's expression turned ugly.
"You said," he said, emphasizing each word, "that you met two natives who claimed to have lost their memory? In a no-man's land?"
"Have you checked if there is a live broadcast room?"
"I've checked it, nothing." His reaction was too obvious, and Bai Jinshu suddenly realized that there might be something wrong with these two people. "What's wrong with these two people?"
"That's a ghost from the no-man's land," Brother Yin wrinkled his chubby face, revealing a complex expression that couldn't be concealed by his childishness, "I told the foreign teams not to come here for nothing... How dare you take them away when you don't know anything..."
"The ghost in the no-man's land is..." Yuan Shanming also realized that something was wrong.
"Some humans who are neither newcomers nor team leaders, claiming to have lost all their memories, inexplicably appeared in the No Man's Land," Brother Yin looked at him and sighed, "Do they still insist that they are adults?"
"Yes," Xiao Tang answered quickly, "I said they were underage, and one of the girls even had a fight with me."
"That's it," Brother Yin let out a long sigh, "We call these people ghosts in the no-man's land. No one knows how they appeared or why they lost all their memories and are only obsessed with their own age. But it's best not to get close to them."
"What will happen if you get closer?" Huangmao asked with concern.
It is actually a bit inaccurate to call it yellow hair now.
His bleached blond hair had turned black as he aged, and now lay neatly on the side of his face. Without that eye-catching non-mainstream hairstyle, everyone noticed that his blond hair looked pretty good.
I don’t know if it’s because the child hasn’t grown up yet, but Huangmao looks quite pretty at about four or five years old. At first glance, he looks as delicate as a little girl with a boy’s haircut. His voice before voice change is also androgynous, with a bit of the sharp childish voice that only little girls have. When he opened his mouth just now, if it weren’t for the fact that his clothes were exactly the same, Bai Jinshu wouldn’t even have recognized that this person was Huangmao.
"As far as I know, several teams that were close to it were wiped out." Brother Yin was also stunned for a few seconds by the operation of this spirited young man who transformed the handsome child, and then he answered.
"Hiss, those two guys are capable of killing people, how can I not believe it..." Xiao Tang took a breath as if he had a toothache, "So are we being harmed by them now?"
"No, we should have entered a ghost story now... This ghost story saved your lives. Luckily you didn't chase after it, otherwise we would be dead or alive now." Brother Yin looked at the live broadcast panel. "Strange, the team leader should have immunity, why did your team leader and I also enter a ghost story?"
"I'm familiar with this," Guan Hongyan shrugged. "Our team leader also got into a ghost story before. It was an S ghost story. Will it be an S this time as well?"
She was talking about [nightmare].
[Nightmare] dragged in two team leaders at once, Dita and Yuan Shanming.
"Don't dream," Brother Yin was not so optimistic about the current situation. "S is not a cabbage in the field. You can bump into him when you walk on the road. Besides, the team leader's live broadcast room cannot be opened for unknown reasons. Now we can't see what kind of weird talk he is in."
"Shi Yuan," he called out to Shi Yuan, "Can you take a look at yours?"
"No," Shi Yuan shouted, "Ours can't be opened for unknown reasons."
"What's going on..." Brother Yin said, "You've really hurt everyone this time. If we hadn't fought, everyone would have left by now."
Shi Yuan also knew that he had caused trouble, so he could only touch the tip of his nose awkwardly and say: "Well... then it's okay to do whatever weird talk you make..."
"Come on, do you know how many days this ghost story will last? Where is the exit? What do you think the schedule of each leader is for? They all have to be followed!" Brother Yin said bluntly, "According to the schedule I arranged, the time for completing each ghost story is fixed. After completing one, just follow the route and you will be able to open the next one. Do you know what will happen if you mess up one?"
"You'll have to miss all the weird stories on the later routes!"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Shi Yuan lowered his head and dared not say a word.
"Brother, brother," Yuan Shanming came out to smooth things over, "Let's take a look at where we are first. We were just swept in by that thing and haven't looked around yet."
Anyway, things have already happened, and we can only move on.
Brother Yin took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's see where this place is first."
The building that suddenly approached was just a few hundred meters away from everyone, but no one dared to get close. Instead, they got up from the ground and began to explore the area outside the building with their short legs.
Guan Hongyan got up from the ground and walked a few steps towards Bai Jinshu. Seeing that she was about to say something, Bai Jinshu immediately walked towards a remote place.
Guan Hongyan also understood and followed.
The two of them walked away from the crowd. Guan Hongyan lowered her voice and said quickly, "Shi Yuan is Xu Zichen. We recognized him when we were fighting just now."
No wonder.
Bai Jinshu blinked. He had always felt that there was something wrong with Shi Yuan.
Logically speaking, if someone from another team finds out that the opposing team is heading for another ghost story and is not on the same route as their own team, they should turn around and leave.
But this person deliberately stayed there and tried every means to keep them from leaving. He even tried to provoke Xiao Tang and forced his team members to fight with him.
Originally he thought there might be something wrong with this man, but since Guan Hongyan recognized him as Xu Zichen, then everything made sense.
Guan Hongyan called his name deliberately just to let Xu Zichen know that he was Cen Bingqi. Both of [0106]'s teammates were in the opposing team, so Xu Zichen had no reason not to stay.
So he was trying to get the two teams to work together and find a suitable way to delay time.
And judging from the current situation, he has indeed done it.
Both teams were inexplicably drawn into a moving structure and had to move together.
Maybe entering this strange story was also his plan. After all, Xu Zichen had been here once, and no one knew what he did in the Novice Village that time.
It’s just that Xu Zichen appeared in the team in the no-man’s land, so…
The two looked at each other.
The so-called "King of Gu" who appeared in N Port was probably Yun Guang.
Although they left N Port, this place didn't seem as simple as it seemed. There was that building inexplicably filled with famous brands; Shi Pang, who said they should go find him if they encountered anything strange, but avoided talking about him after finding him, saying that they would know after becoming a senior team member; and Yun Guang, who borrowed the name of "King of Gu" and killed people indiscriminately in N Port, forcing all the teams in N Port to flee overnight.
This situation where fog keeps appearing but cannot be solved is enough to drive every curious exploration team member who comes from the Foundation's space exploration team to death.
Not to mention that the situation seems to be related to a secret of an investment bank.
The air outside the church building became foggier the further one went. Bai Jinshu came back to his senses and frowned. He was just about to say that this fog might be the nameless fog following them, when he suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes.
The white mist suddenly turned into a church-like building standing in front of the two people.
Three more people suddenly appeared around, they were Shi Yuan and two members of his team.
"Fuck," the man with the whip looked at the building in front of him and was stunned for a few seconds, "Weren't we just walking out? Why are we back?"
"Here..." Bai Jinshu had just started talking when several people suddenly appeared around him.
Everyone looked at each other, and an extremely obvious answer appeared in everyone's mind.
This place has boundaries.
Once you go beyond the boundary, you will be teleported directly back to the front of the building.
If I want to solve the ghost story and get out of here...
They also had to enter this church-like building.
