Chi Mu missed one step and fell to one side.
“Fuck!”
Chi Mu quickly steadied himself, retracted his foot that had stepped on air, squatted on the wooden pole with his whole body weak, and gasped for breath.
After calming down, he looked down and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
If it weren't for my quick reaction, I would have fallen down by now.
"No wonder this round of the game has to be played at night, just to wait for the strong winds to create difficulties for the game!"
Chi Mu squatted on the wooden pole and finally understood the essence of this ghost story game.
Everyone was shaken violently by the strong wind just now, and Chi Mu was not the only one who almost fell down.
Qin Meng almost fell down just now. If Zhang Chen, who was walking in front, hadn't pulled her out, Qin Meng would have been smashed into a meat pie.
"Damn it! If the wind keeps blowing, I'm going to fall down from here sooner or later!"
Liu Lei cursed loudly, staring at Zhang Chen: "Hey, can you walk faster? The wind has died down now, get over there as soon as possible!"
"If you keep being so fussy, don't blame me for kicking you out... Hehe, this way you can get five more free points."
Liu Lei's provocative words aroused Zhang Chen's dissatisfaction.
"If you wanted to get there so quickly, why didn't you go first? Now I'm leading, and the entire pole has to move forward at my pace."
Zhang Chen responded without any hesitation, then bent down, lowered his center of gravity as much as possible, and walked forward carefully.
"Chi Mu, be careful. I don't want to see you fall... At least, among this group of people, I am more optimistic about you."
Li Xin stood behind Chi Mu and reminded him.
Without waiting for Chi Mu to reply, Li Xin's eyes flickered, and he said in a tone that Chi Mu didn't understand: "Haha, if you can survive to the end, I can tell you something you want to know."
"It seems that your understanding of the rules and strange stories is still very shallow..."
Chi Mu was shocked. He didn't expect Li Xin to say such a thing.
What she meant was to tell Chi Mu: I know much more about rules and weird stories than you do. If you can survive to the end, I am willing to share some information with you.
"Sure enough, it's almost the same as I guessed. The identities of these chosen ones are not simple..."
Chi Mu's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly hoped that Li Xin could survive.
If he could learn more about the world of ghost stories from her, it would be a huge breakthrough for both him and Longguo.
The most important thing is that you might be able to figure out the problems that are happening to you, such as why your thinking is becoming increasingly slow.
Also, why Yang Qu deviated from her original ghost story copy and appeared in multiple ghost stories.
"Wait, these people were sent to the Ghost Story Prison Garden. Could it be that they were helped by NPCs from the Ghost Story dungeons they participated in before?"
After thinking it over, Chi Mu gave up.
The most important thing right now is how to reach the lighthouse on the other side alive and accumulate 20 free points.
As they walked a little further, everyone became more cautious.
Because of the sudden strong wind just now, everyone realized that this strong wind would appear from time to time without any warning.
At the same time, as the night deepened, the temperature outside became lower and lower, and the hands and feet of the Chosen One became colder and colder.
If you stay stuck on the pole for too long, you might even have trouble walking in the end, let alone reaching the end of the pole.
The situation on the Mutual Hurting Bridge is not optimistic, but on the Mutual Helping Bridge it is not.
The two chosen ones got along very well. They were very close to each other, and whenever one of them was in danger of falling, the other would immediately steady him.
And, because there were only two people on the wooden pole and they completely trusted each other's identities, they simply sat on the wooden pole.
Use your hands and hips to move forward. This is much safer than walking on a wooden block.
"Damn it, if I had known there were so few people over there, I should have chosen the wooden pole. Now I'm walking with a bunch of losers like you. It's simply a waste of my time!"
Seeing that the two people were getting along well, Liu Lei started scolding again.
Chi Mu discovered that Liu Lei was arrogant and domineering, and he kept offending every Chosen One with his words.
He had a premonition that if any unexpected situation occurred again, Liu Lei would definitely be the one abandoned by everyone on this wooden pole.
An hour later, Chi Mu and others had only walked halfway across the wooden pole.
Although they only walked a distance of more than 20 meters, no one felt it was easy. Walking on a wooden pole at a height of 100 meters was really thrilling.
"Chi Mu, are you not going to tell me the identity of the Special Chosen One? You don't need to be so wary of me."
"I admit that I deceived you before, used you, tricked you into going to the study to spend your free points in exchange for information.
But it won't kill you, and you know very well how important freedom is here.
If you are still angry, I can give you a free point as a reward, how about it? "
Li Xin stared at Chi Mu with an extremely serious expression, a complete change from his usual unruly look.
Chi Mu had no emotion. He glanced at Li Xin calmly and extended his hand to her: "Okay, then you give me that point of freedom back, and I will tell you the identity of the special chosen one."
What Chi Mu didn't expect was that Li Xin actually took out a free point from his pocket and put it in his hand without any hesitation.
"for you."
Chi Mu was stunned.
He didn't expect that this woman would compromise so easily!
"You...Okay, I'll tell you the identity of the special chosen one. His name is Jiang Tuan. You must be curious about who this person is. I guess he is most likely the butler."
Chi Mu put the freedom points into his pocket. He was not a man who did not keep his word.
Now that Li Xin has given him freedom, there is no reason not to tell her the identity of the special chosen one.
After all, now that I know my identity as the special chosen one, it’s like getting it for free.
"Jiang Tuan? Haha, your guess is correct. This is indeed the housekeeper's name."
"It's just as I've always guessed. The butler is the special chosen one. He concealed his identity and pretended to us that he was the manager of the Ghost Story Prison Garden."
A look of disdain flashed across Li Xin's face.
But her words surprised Chi Mu, and he couldn't help asking, "How do you know the housekeeper's name is Jiang Tuan? It's just my guess that the housekeeper is called this name."
Li Xin licked her lips, took a step forward, and smiled evilly: "To be honest, this is the clue I found in your room..."
