Hearing this, Yu Jiaojiao quickly took a few steps forward.
Then she turned to look at the yard, and found that this was really the case, and her face turned pale instantly.
But after a while, the man turned around and looked at E Sihui, roaring in grief and anger.
"What you said is true, but even if what you say is true, what should I do? What choice do I have?"
As he said that, he looked back at the yard.
"I have no other way to go, can I just go back like this?"
Before he finished speaking, E Sihui, who was walking around, suddenly stopped. He was still thirty or forty meters away from Yu Jiaojiao.
He shook his head, looked at the person in front of him and said slowly.
"You buried your head too low."
"Don't want to see them? But when you don't look at them, they are looking at you."
As he said that, E Sihui turned his head and looked to his right.
"You have taken the wrong road. If my guess is correct, this is the way to leave the town and go outside."
Opposite me, Yu Jiaojiao had a look of confusion on her face as she thought about these words.
Soon, he thought of something and ran to E Sihui's side.
She turned to look at where she had just been standing and was surprised.
Starting from a certain household, the light and shadow all disappear.
Moreover, looking at the angle from which E Sihui turned his head just now, there was a small road.
But Yu Jiaojiao was very sure that she didn't see this path at all just now.
Thinking of this, the woman couldn't help but be shocked.
Then, out of curiosity, he took two steps back.
However, with two simple steps, the road on the right disappeared!
It seems that the light is deflected and becomes another resident connected to it.
Seeing this scene, Yu Jiaojiao still didn't understand what happened.
Just when he lowered his head and walked, the strange beings next to him started to move.
All I knew was to keep walking along this path, thinking about turning right at the next intersection.
But in fact, I have already missed the intersection.
Before, the dead end that led directly to the yard wasn't even necessarily real.
After sorting out these things, Yu Jiaojiao felt scared for a while, and quickly bowed her head to E Sihui and thanked him.
"Thank you, I might have died without you."
However, when the latter heard these words of thanks, his face was expressionless and he just nodded perfunctorily.
He even stepped aside, raised his right hand, and glanced sideways at Yu Jiaojiao.
"Now that the path has been identified, we can continue."
"What?" Yu Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she meant to continue along this path.
But I just experienced something strange and escaped from it
Yu Jiaojiao's psychology has obviously changed slightly.
At this time, looking at the road leaving the town, I couldn't help but hesitate.
After a while, he turned to look at E Sihui again.
"Didn't you stop me? If I sneaked out like this, didn't they ask you to catch me or take me back?"
"No." E Sihui replied coldly with an indifferent expression, "According to the leader's request, I am just following you."
"Is that so?" Yu Jiaojiao murmured.
She slowly turned her head and looked down the path again.
Try to adjust your breathing and calm yourself down.
Too
Even if we go back, what can we do?
With nothing left behind, her living situation is even worse than that of others.
Leaving this town may be the only way.
So, Yu Jiaojiao silently took out a handwritten map from her backpack and stepped into the path.
Because of E Sihui's previous reminder, she did not walk with her head buried this time, but kept vigilantly observing her surroundings.
It was precisely because of this that the two illusions that might have been traps on the way did not catch her.
After a while, Yu Jiaojiao finally arrived at the outskirts of the town.
Looking at the path leading to the gray mist, Yu Jiaojiao's tense emotions relaxed slightly, and the sadness on her face disappeared a lot.
In her opinion, as long as you keep an eye on the path after entering the fog, you can get out of here no matter what.
After all, the trial is just about getting out of here.
It doesn't matter where you go.
But just as Yu Jiaojiao was about to step into the fog, she suddenly remembered something, paused and looked behind her.
Sure enough, E Sihui was still behind him.
"I'm leaving. Do you want to leave here with me?" Yu Jiaojiao asked out of confusion.
But E Sihui shook his head slightly and said calmly: "The order I received is to follow you, so if you are really ready to go outside the town, you will follow."
After the words fell, Yu Jiaojiao frowned.
This man actually wants to leave here, right?
Don't want to take risks and want her to explore the way?
That should be it.
What a reality
However, that's all.
Fortunately, even so.
After all, it would be less dangerous than going into the fog alone.
Turning around again, Yu Jiaojiao looked at the mist in front of her, and slowly raised her feet to get into it.
Stepping down slowly, you felt something hard under your feet.
She breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking along the path.
Behind him, E Sihui watched Yu Jiaojiao disappear into the fog little by little, but he was not in a hurry to follow.
On the contrary, with no change in his expression, he first took out a roll of cloth filled with grease.
It wasn't until a few breaths passed that Yu Jiaojiao's figure gradually blurred in the mist that she officially set off.
After a few steps into the fog, the man stared closely at Yu Jiaojiao, looking at the soles of his feet from time to time.
His body was tense and his face was wary.
His hands kept moving, wrapping the cloth strips around the blade.
After a while, the originally sharp blade was wrapped in two layers of cloth and covered with grease.
With the sound of a lighter, an orange flame suddenly rose in the mist.
The surrounding fog was almost instantly dispersed by the fire, and the field of vision was much clearer, with visibility reaching nearly ten meters.
On the other hand, Yu Jiaojiao, who was groping forward in front, was startled when she saw the fog dissipating.
Out of instinct, she looked back quickly.
When I saw the blade burning with orange fire, I immediately understood what was going on.
He patted his chest with a scared look on his face, and said with a somewhat complaining tone: "I was scared to death. I didn't expect it to be you. If there is such a thing, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
"This thing is not much. It was made by Liu Ziyun before entering the trial." A few steps away, E Sihui, who had a clear vision and was looking around carefully, replied casually.
"However, the visibility here is too low, so there is no need to be overly economical."
After saying that, E Sihui glanced at the woman who stopped in front of him and said, "Let's go, don't waste too much time, this thing is limited."
After hearing this, Yu Jiaojiao reacted belatedly.
Turn your head quickly and continue along the path.
Setting off again, she was obviously much less stressed than before.
After all, the surrounding thick fog has been dispersed a lot by the firelight, and the concentration is much lower.
and
The most important thing is that E Sihui is behind him.
In such a dangerous environment, the sense of security brought by someone talking is completely incomparable.
Sure enough, before walking far away, Yu Jiaojiao took the initiative to find a topic and spoke out of curiosity.
"Hello"
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you scared? You can still be calm in this damn place!?"
"He's dead, isn't he?" E Sihui replied while moving vigilantly. "In that case, there's no need to be afraid."
However, Yu Jiaojiao was not satisfied with this answer. On the contrary, she had even greater doubts.
"That's what it is." She turned her head and glanced behind her, "But you don't want to live longer?"
As he spoke, the man recalled the good life he had before, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
“You can travel to various places, enjoy delicious food, and hang out with friends.”
Halfway through speaking, Yu Jiao suddenly paused.
Because, this person remembered what Liu Ziyun had said before, that there was no way he could go back.
But soon, she smiled and continued.
"Even if you can't go back, didn't they say you can use the so-called points to redeem things?"
"As long as you can survive, that's equivalent to living forever, right?"
However, faced with this set of rhetoric, E Sihui had no intention of moving.
On the contrary, the tone was even more emotional.
"When I was alive, I just lived in a medium-sized city."
"I have never eaten Western food or drank red wine."
"I haven't traveled anywhere in more than 20 years."
"I don't understand what you are talking about. I have never seen it or felt it."
"As for the things to be redeemed"
Suddenly, E Sihui, who was staring around, laughed at himself.
"Most of them are dispensable. At least what I want, the exchange system cannot give back."
Walking in front, Yu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and noticed the details in her words.
"I just can't get it temporarily? Isn't there a way to exchange for what you want?"
It turns out that what he asked for was not the real thing.
Is it a relative?
friend?
Or a lover?
Thinking of this, Yu Jiaojiao continued to ask.
"As long as you live long enough, there's always a way to redeem it, right?"
It seemed that the conversation reached what E Sihui was thinking, and the former was silent for a long time.
After a long time, he slowly spoke.
"Maybe, but I don't know if I can wait until then."
"What can't you wait for?" Yu Jiaojiao raised her voice and frowned visibly, dissatisfied with the answer, "You are so strong, you have weapons and you can fight, you will definitely survive."
And then, she thought of herself again, and her tone became decadent.
"Not like me, just a woman."
"He has poor athletic ability, can't fight, can't reason and analyze, except for his body shape and appearance."
The more Yu Jiaojiao talked, the more uncomfortable she became, and her face gradually turned bitter.
"Even if I survive this trial, I'm afraid the days that follow will not be easy."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to decide my own destiny in the future. I will have to obey others unconditionally and be at the mercy of others."
"What do you say? I'm at the mercy of you."
"Even if I am obedient, I'm afraid others won't want it. They will only think that I am holding them back."
Thinking about the days to come, a few tears quickly emerged from the corners of this man's eyes.
Yu Jiaojiao's voice became more and more aggrieved.
But soon, after two or three sentences, she found that the man behind her had no intention of answering.
So, Yu Jiaojiao had no choice but to wipe away the tears from her eyes and turned the topic to E Sihui again.
"Come to think of it, you are so capable. Why do you listen to them?" (End of Chapter)
