Chapter 60 The Third Round Ends
The flames covering the entire village were still burning, and anyone who stepped out of the dilapidated house would be burned to death.
They each covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves and waited in the house for a while until the flames outside began to subside.
In the orange-red color, you can already see messy shadows with long arms and legs beginning to sway in places where there is no flame.
The truth of the village was told, and the villagers realized that they were dead and could no longer disguise themselves. The cycle was broken, and all the dead people who had turned into ghosts came back.
It's just that they are bound by the flames and their movements are temporarily slow.
Time is urgent, if they delay any further, they might be caught by the ghost.
Lu Jiamu immediately ran out of the house, avoiding the flames and running towards the village well.
Although the entire village had been destroyed by the fire, Lu Jiamu still remembered the floor plan of the village in his mind and could find his way back with the help of his sense of direction.
When the other people saw him start running, they followed him without hesitation.
The destroyed village was no longer blocked by buildings, and they ran faster than usual in a straight line.
In the well that had become even more dilapidated, the "well ghost" that had been reluctant to show up a few days ago crawled out little by little, raised his head and lifted up his wet long hair, revealing a pale face.
The village's deception was over, and she looked more human and less like a bloated corpse.
She looked at the people running towards her from afar, her pale blue lips moved slightly, and she shouted in a strange voice: "Me!"
She had been trapped in the well for more than a year, and every time she tried to speak she could only make strange howls that were hard for other people to hear, which resulted in her being almost unable to speak.
She hesitated for a moment before she slowly uttered the most beautiful words she had been able to say in the past year with unstandard pronunciation: "My wish is..."
But Lu Jiamu took advantage of her slow speech, rushed to the well and covered her mouth with his hands.
The only half of their mission left is to fulfill the wishes of the villagers. If the last wish of this villager is to restore the village to its original state, then they will probably be trapped here for the rest of their lives.
Lu Jiamu showed a sincere smile: "What is your wish?"
"Do you want to escape this village safely and get rid of this place completely? If so, just nod."
Jinggui nodded.
Lu Jiamu loosened his grip a little: "Then tell me."
The well ghost followed the guidance and expressed his best wish: "I want to leave here!"
Several people helped the well ghost climb out of the well, preparing to take her away with them.
The shadows in the village gathered around, but they just twisted around in places where there was no fire, looking like they were very afraid of fire.
Lu Jiamu's eyes moved and he opened the small box he found in the stranger's house.
Most of the gunpowder and powder inside had been stuffed into the tube by Wang Biao.
Several people divided it equally, dismantled the box, and used wood to start the fire. They each took a deep breath, and then rushed out while adding fuel to the burning village with gunpowder.
The black powder was constantly ignited and exploded, emitting brilliant sparks, causing the shadows to dodge constantly.
After leaving the village that had become a ruin, they ran along the mountain road and soon arrived at the place where they had rolled up the program crew out of thin air and thrown them back.
Xiao Liang swallowed in fear and slowed down his pace, but the people in front had already run out of that range.
Regardless of what happened, they were not rolled up and thrown back to the village entrance.
In the eyes of the five people here, a half-open door appeared out of thin air on the mountain road in the distance, emitting a bright and pure light. In their ears, they heard a "creaky" sound of the door opening that was not real enough.
They had already left the abandoned village, thus fulfilling the wish of the last villager.
Behind him, the shadows with long arms and legs twisted and turned in the gaps between the flames, but they also stopped, watched for a while, and then retreated back into the ruins. They were currently unable to leave the village.
There wasn't much equipment that could be brought out. After running for a while, Xiao Liang suddenly remembered something and took out the satellite phone he carried with him. After a moment, he burst into tears of joy: "There's... there's a signal! There's a signal!"
With trembling hands, she immediately called for help.
When approaching the edge of the light gate, Kou Man thought for a moment and stopped, putting Yu Leng down from his back: "Wait for me."
After she finished speaking, she ran up the mountain.
Although their gunpowder had been used up when they escaped, Coleman's great force was more effective than anything else.
The other people saw what she was going to do and stopped outside the light gate waiting for her.
After taking a look, Lu Jiamu turned his attention to the girl who was still wet and had been mistaken for a well ghost. The girl noticed someone was looking at her and immediately became nervous.
Lu Jiamu gave her the bag of expired candy and flipped through the hardcover notebook he found in the stilt house.
The parts that should be incomprehensible are still incomprehensible. However, the light gate has appeared, and Lu Jiamu has completely lost interest in what is deep in the mountains and what caused the tragedy.
Moreover, if you don’t know the secret code between the recorders, you will never be able to figure out anything even if you keep it for your whole life.
Lu Jiamu handed the notebook to the girl and said, "There may be someone outside the mountains who can understand this notebook. You can take it with you."
Over there, Kouman had found the loosest part of the mountain and began to shake it violently. Rocks rolled down and soon the landslide blocked the narrow mountain road.
Let the secrets in the mountains remain buried in the mountains forever.
After blocking the mountain road, Coleman carried Yu Leng, who still had a hole in his stomach, on his back and walked into the light gate with the others.
The two girls who were left behind saw their companions suddenly disappear in an instant. Xiao Liang stared with eyes wide open, speechless for a moment, not knowing whether they had suddenly died at that moment or what.
On the satellite phone, someone asked them if they could walk out along the mountain road by themselves, and that a car would be sent to the nearest highway to wait for them.
Xiao Liang was stunned for a moment before responding to the satellite phone, then he stupidly pulled the girl out.
After all, we have seen ghosts, so what is there to be unbelievable about?
The girl couldn't understand French and didn't know that the package of White Rabbit candy was a year expired, so she opened one and put it in her mouth.
**
The "clicking" sound of mechanical operation rang out again in the circular plaza.
The five people passed through the light gate, and their condition suddenly returned to their best. The big hole on Yu Leng's stomach healed instantly, and he climbed down from Coleman's back a little embarrassedly.
The door slammed behind them with a "click", completely blocking out the world behind the door.
This place is called the Wheel of Time
Welcome
…
Wang Biao suddenly turned his head uncomfortably, made a "hiss" sound, and began to scratch his skin with his hands.
As Lu Jiamu walked towards the center of the circular plaza, he glanced at him calmly and noticed that something similar to fish scales appeared on Wang Biao's skin.
Lu Jiamu didn't say anything. He sat in the same place he had sat the previous two times. He put the diary beside him and waited for others to start talking.
After Wang Biao sat down, he did not immediately begin to summarize his experience. Instead, he said with some doubt: "I feel something is wrong..."
The remaining three people immediately went to see him and also noticed the unusual areas on his skin.
Kou Man reached out to pull it, but instead of pulling it off, more scales appeared on Wang Biao's arm: "So hard."
Yu Leng took a look and reached out to pinch it, cutting his hand: "Fuck, fuck, fuck..."
Inconspicuous words began to appear on the cover of the diary: [Haha, another of your companions has developed abnormal abilities. He will find out soon. This is similar to the ability of your female companion.]
The diary seemed to be deliberately trying to entice Lu Jiamu to pay attention to it, and at the end it added: [Do you feel like you’ve fallen far behind?]
It must have said this deliberately to irritate others. If it points it out so directly, any normal person would have started to feel anxious.
Lu Jiamu didn't feel anything, but just asked quietly: "Will there be a teammate like this after every round?"
[Maybe. But it's obviously not your turn this time.]
[If you don't take the initiative to fight for it, good luck will never come to you. Relying on others won't work in the future. After all, you never know what's behind the next door. If you are unprepared, you may die soon.]
It was like an anxiety vending machine, but fortunately Lu Jiamu didn't get anxious. He looked down at it, like he was looking at bullshit.
After going through so many twists and turns and writing so many words, the diary finally got to the point: [The opportunity is in your pocket, but if you eat it, you might die. But you can give it to me. If I become stronger, doesn’t that mean you become stronger?]
Lu Jiamu took out a pen from his pocket, opened the first page of his diary, and wrote on it: [This diary is really beautiful.]
As a close friend of many years, what Fang Gu hated most during his lifetime was when Lu Jiamu ignored him while he was talking.
Now Lu Jiamu not only ignored it, but also directly pointed out the fact that it was just a diary.
If the diary could still get angry, it would definitely not only fail to irritate Lu Jiamu, but would make itself doubly angry.
Lu Jiamu flipped through a few pages and suddenly noticed that a part of what was originally scribbling by children had turned into clearly recognizable text at some point.
It is neatly written:
[It's been three months since I came back from that place, and everyone thought I was crazy and that I had schizophrenia from all the stress, but I wasn't.
Being alive is such a luxurious and wonderful thing that others are eager for, so why do I feel pressured?
I am looking forward to your coming to see me. You will definitely find that I am not sick. You have been very perceptive since you were a child. You will definitely find my abnormality...
(A trace of smear)
No...you didn't notice at all...you also think I'm sick.
I talked to you a lot, but after I finished I realized you weren't listening at all. I don't know what you saw.
But I have to say that your inner calmness makes me feel at ease. At least you are not afraid of me, and you let me pretend that you understand what I am saying.
You are indeed a blockhead.]
Lu Jiamu flipped through the pages quietly and found that the back of the diary was still covered with scribbles and childish graffiti. He compared the strokes one by one and confirmed that there was no change in the content behind.
So why did this piece of content suddenly appear?
