It was gray outside, and time seemed to freeze, as if it was at the critical point between dusk and night. The gray mist loomed at the end of the line of sight, spreading, contracting, turning and rising, as if something was breathing rhythmically.
The rotten wooden door fell to one side and broke into pieces when touched. Half of the door had turned into sawdust and was soon swallowed up by dense black spots.
It was a group of ants. Their movements of moving forward and eating were exactly the same. The team was very neat. They moved like an army of ten thousand people. They always maintained the same formation, forming a strange pattern——
Looking down from a high position, it looks like a weird crying face that is constantly changing, with indescribable malice. I don’t know if it is an illusion. There seems to be a vague cry in the ant colony.
When it comes out, it makes people’s hair stand on end.
The sky was extremely gloomy, and crows the size of basketballs were constantly circling in the air, as if weaving a large black net. Their eyes were deep blood red, and their beaks and claws were also red. They looked down at everything on the ground with cold eyes.
Looking around, there are identical cabins all around, densely packed in all directions, with no rules at all. If you are among them, you may get lost if you are not careful.
Everything is weird and strange, like a gloomy dream.
"Crunch——"
Lu Zhan pushed open a wooden door again, and the bright light of a bright flashlight shone into the room.
The room had obviously been dusty for a long time, the door lock of the cabin was rusty and broke when touched, and the door handle was covered with dust.
When you open the door, you can see at a glance the big red coffin placed in the middle of the room, as if it had been soaked in blood, with pitted blood clots remaining.
Perhaps due to the passage of time, the color of the coffin has faded a bit, with some areas showing its original black color.
The room was not well ventilated, and there was always an unpleasant smell surrounding it, but the source of the smell could not be found. The corners were full of dust and cobwebs, giving people a sense of decay.
Lu Zhan quickly walked into the room and opened the coffin lid. It was empty with not a single person in it.
His face was calm, but his mood was a little anxious.
This was already the twenty-fourth coffin he had opened, but there was still no whereabouts of Xia Yuxi.
According to Xia Yuxi's description, a person who is sent into a dream by the knocking sound will appear in a sealed red coffin when they wake up. If they don't get out as soon as possible, they are likely to be submerged in the mud.
After learning the general information about the incident, Lu Zhan quickly followed Xia Yuxi into the dream through some method and appeared outside the cabin.
He thought he would rescue Xia Yuxi from the coffin soon, but unexpectedly, after such a long time, he couldn't find her whereabouts.
The huts here are so densely packed that there is no end in sight. There is a red coffin in each hut, which is equivalent to countless coffins. If she continues to search like a headless fly, I am afraid it will be difficult for Xia Yuxi to persist until that time.
This is where Lu Zhan made a mistake.
But the most unbelievable thing for him was that he actually met Bai Mo in this place!
Bai Mo was looking at him at this time.
The two of them stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and the expressions on their faces were very wonderful.
Bai Mo had almost concluded that he was still dreaming, otherwise how could he appear in such a strange place? He looked at the man in front of him and couldn't help but ask: "Are you Lu Zhan?"
Faced with this kind of inquiry, Lu Zhan was very cautious. He was not sure what this guy was. Is it a false illusion created out of thin air with the help of his memory, or is it the tombkeeper himself?
Judging from his current situation, no matter what the situation is, it doesn't seem to be good.
He pondered for a moment and said calmly: "I'm not."
"Aren't you?" Bai Mo was amused and said with a smile, "Who are you if you're not Lu Zhan?"
"I am Bai Mo."
Bai Mo was stunned: "What the hell, who do you think you are?"
"Bai Mo." Lu Zhan said seriously, "Bai who prostitutes for free, Mo who sticks to the rules."
"No, I mean, if you are Bai Mo...then who am I?"
"How could I know this?"
After a short silence, Bai Mo looked confused and shook his head: "No, I am Bai Mo... right?"
His tone was full of unconfidence.
Perhaps because of the vague dream he had before, at a certain moment, he actually felt a sense of alienation from the word "Bai Mo", as if he was doubting his true identity.
"Who isn't?"
Lu Zhan said with a smile, but his heart gradually sank a little.
This guy really seems to be a gravekeeper!
He thought so, not because of anything else, but because the self-deception in the other person was so strong that others might not be able to imitate it...
The next second, Bai Mo suddenly woke up and said: "I understand, you are not Lu Zhan, you are me, the me in the dream!"
Lu Zhan took a deep breath and said nothing. He looked at the surrounding environment - this place was obviously abnormal. Is there something wrong with the tombkeeper?
But his worries seemed to be unnecessary.
Faced with the strange scene around him, Bai Mo just marveled and didn't show anything unusual.
"Tsk, there really is everything in the dream."
When he heard Bai Mo muttering to himself, the corners of his mouth twitched.
This guy actually thinks he is dreaming?
But this can be considered a blessing among misfortunes...
Unexpectedly, Bai Mo suddenly looked at him intently and said with suspicion: "But I still can't figure out why I dreamed of Lu Zhan..."
Lu Zhan was afraid that he would verify something, so he bit the bullet and asked, "What do you think about every day, and what do you dream about every night?"
"roll!"
God is so thoughtful every day!
Bai Mo's expression changed drastically, he quickly came back to his senses, and said to himself: "Is it because I miss the missing body too much, and there is no news from Lu Zhan, so I dreamed about him?"
"This is actually quite thoughtful. Maybe you will actually see the corpse later?"
Lu Zhan quickly gave him a vaccination.
"That's what you say, but if you say this is a dream, wouldn't it be too real?" Bai Mo looked suspicious.
He thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and pinched his arm——
A little cold, but not painful.
"Is this really a dream?"
Lu Zhan calmly regained his ability and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when Bai Mo pinched his arm, he froze that part in time, causing him to temporarily lose consciousness.
He actually has only a little understanding of his current situation. Judging from the items and physical condition on his body, it seems that he is not in a dream, but exists in a physical form. Even the feeling when his ability is activated is the same.
...So what kind of place is this?
Also, if the tombkeeper really appears here, can it mean that he also suffered the same attack as Xia Yuxi? What are the prerequisites for being attacked?
Lu Zhan was thoughtful, then suddenly froze, wait, isn't this place a restricted area?
Since the monument fell from the sky, a large number of forbidden areas have appeared in the world, and humans have to gather in safe areas where there are no forbidden areas.
Most restricted areas are extremely restrictive, making it impossible for creatures in the restricted area to escape. At the same time, their positions are relatively fixed and will not change at will, so a small safe area is left.
There are some exceptions to restricted areas.
There is no exact entrance to these restricted areas. They may appear in any corner of the world at any time, and their movement patterns and entry conditions are completely unknown.
And precisely because of the uncertainty of the entrance, few people currently know whether there is a restricted area stone tablet outside these so-called activity restricted areas.
Whether they are the same type of thing as the conventional restricted areas, humans are still searching for the answer.
The most famous no-go zone today is a place called the Secret Shop, which was the subject of urban legend even before the no-go zones existed.
As the name suggests, this restricted area is a shop that threatens to sell any secrets. It is somewhat similar to Bixian's characteristics, but the information provided is more accurate.
Of course...the price will be even higher.
Suddenly, Lu Zhan retracted his thoughts and turned to look in a certain direction. Bai Mo beside him also looked over curiously.
Only a slight footsteps could be heard in the darkness in the distance.
