Driving all the way north, Li Tianran soon returned to his hometown, Haihuang County.

Li Tianran looked at his phone, and it was half past one in the morning.

Because it is a small county town, it is basically impossible to throw a brick on the road.

Except for some familiar late-night food stalls along the way, which were overcrowded, the entire county was so quiet that it was terrifying.

I don't know if it's because he hasn't come back for a long time, or because he participated in the hunter game, Li Tianran looks at the alley on the side of the road that is all too familiar, and he will feel a little numb in his scalp.

If there is enough time, Li Tianran really wants to stop the car owner, wander around in this quiet late night, and then go to those familiar food stalls to have a supper, after all, this is where he was born and raised.

But now that time is pressing, recalling what Qin Youxian said to him after he died, Li Tianran had to dispel his thoughts of relaxation, and drove directly towards the place that Qin Youxian told him before he died.

Soon, Li Tianran arrived at the place that Qin Youxian said after his death, this is also a place on the outskirts of the county, it is difficult for normal people to come to this place, but this place is a familiar place for Li Tianran.

Because there is a very hidden river in this vicinity, Li Tianran loves fishing, so he often comes to this little-known place alone on a small electric donkey, and stays for an afternoon.

"I'll go, is it so scary at night here? I didn't think it was so scary before. ”

Since leaving Tianhai City, Li Tianran never thought that he would return here again, and it was still in the middle of the night.

Or due to the factor of late at night, the frog chirping of the cicada, which should have made people feel refreshed when they heard it, became particularly terrifying at this time.

"Or ...... I'll wait for the day to come back? ”

According to the location described by Qin Youxian, Li Tianran's final destination must pass through a small forest, if it is daytime, the small forest is not a problem at all, but now, even if the forest in front of him is small, Li Tianran also feels a tingling of scalp.

But think about it, the world has not been peaceful recently, although under normal circumstances, basically no one will come to this ghost place, but if it is really not unfortunate that someone comes, and then stay here for a whole day, then wouldn't you continue to waste time here?

"Forget it, I haven't seen any demons and demons in the recent past, can I still be frightened by this dark night forest?"

After Li Tianran parked the car in a very private place, he gritted his teeth and walked into the dense forest in front of him.

Worried that he would be discovered by passers-by, Li Tianran didn't even dare to turn on the mobile phone light after parking, so he smeared all the way and scurried around in the dense forest.

The moonlight was still shining tonight, and after his eyes were completely familiar with the darkness, Li Tianran could probably see the surrounding environment clearly.

The woods are not big, but the big trees give people a feeling of towering into the sky, so Li Tianran suddenly lost his way in the woods.

"It's over, I'm next, what should I do now?"

Li Tianran suddenly became a little flustered, and at the same time, he had the illusion that yin qi had entered his body.

"Click......"

Wandering in the woods, Li Tianran accidentally stepped on a branch on the ground, which frightened Li Tianran's whole body and screamed on the spot.

However, Li Tianran was not the only one who was frightened, after hearing the sound of the branches being trampled off, there were countless "quack" sounds on the towering branches, which frightened Li Tianran "poof" and sat on the ground.

After about three or five minutes, the sound of those who didn't know whether it was a bird or a chicken or a crow completely stopped, and as soon as the sound stopped, Li Tianran immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket in a panic, and couldn't care so much, so he directly turned on the flashlight that came with the mobile phone.

Although the flashlight on the mobile phone was faint, it brought Li Tianran an unprecedented sense of security in the woods in the middle of the night.

It is impossible to completely calm down, and now that the mobile phone light is also turned on, Li Tianran does not plan to turn it off, so he has to find the thing that Qin Youxian said before he died in this forest as soon as possible.

In fact, until now, Li Tianran didn't know what the thing Qin Youxian was talking about, at that time, due to the situation in the game, the situation was extremely critical, Qin Youxian just told Li Tianran the approximate location of the thing, and repeatedly instructed Li Tianran to dig out this thing.

Li Tianran asked Qin Youxian at that time what was the use of digging that thing out, but Qin Youxian just replied: "After you dig it out, you will know the function of that thing, as for what you want to do with that thing at that time, it's all your business." ”

Li Tianran heard it in a fog at the time, and he didn't understand anything at all, but Qin Youxian repeatedly told him that no matter what, he must find this thing, and also said that finding this thing would bring Li Tianran an unexpected harvest.

Originally, Li Tianran didn't think about it, but thinking back to what Qin Youxian said to him after he died, Li Tianran still decided to find out what Qin Youxian said.

However, this forest is actually really not big, but in the middle of the night, it is really not easy to accurately find the location that Qin Youxian can't describe in these towering woods.

But fortunately, Qin Youxian still said a very easy to identify method, that is, to enter to the south, one-third of the forest deep, and the only tree peels its bark.

That is to say, enter the forest from the south side of the woods, and then go about a third of the way, and you will find a tree with poor bark, and something should be near this tree.

Li Tianran also entered the forest from the south, which is not difficult, but the devil knows how big this forest is.

Since I can't accurately know the size of the forest, I can't accurately locate my location, so I can only find the big tree with poor bark in a row.

In this way, it is much more difficult.

The ghost knows when Qin Youxian buried the thing, plus the tree is still growing, even if the place where the tree was peeled at that time was at the root, it is possible that it has grown to it now.

There is no way, since he has already come, Li Tianran can only go to find the tree that has been stripped of its bark.

So Li Tianran took his mobile phone and began to look for it in the woods very carefully......

……

In-game!

"Do I think this game is humane or inhumane?"

After Ma Hui and Wan Yongcheng successfully passed the fourth level, they had rested for a long time, and the physical strength consumed had almost recovered, and the muscles and bones in the body did not have the slightest soreness, so Wan Yongcheng began to be unable to sit still.

"What do you mean by that?"

Ma Hui wondered why Wan Yongcheng questioned the cruelty of the game, for Ma Hui, the Hunter game was of course a cruel game, because Ma Hui witnessed too many players who didn't want to die and had to die in the game.

"No, you see, we've had a long break after the fourth level, right? If the game is really inhumane, then why doesn't it just start the next level, but instead let us wait here for the strength to recover, which is too abnormal, right? ”

Wan Yongcheng's words are indeed reasonable, if they start the fifth level directly, if they use their exhausted bodies to break through the level, there is a great chance that they will be eliminated, but after their physical strength is restored, I am afraid that the probability of elimination will be greatly reduced.

It is true that some levels will have a long break time in the middle after the end, which Ma Hui knows, but Ma Hui has never seriously thought about this problem, because before entering the game, Ma Hui already knows what the role of these blank spaces between games that are enough for people to rest is played.

Ma Hui didn't explain the reason to Wan Yongcheng, but felt that Wan Yongcheng's idea was a bit different.

Why?

Because for a normal player, no matter how long the gap between levels in the game is, the normal player will not feel that the break is long, and they will not be distracted by this at all.

Because once the rest time is over, it will directly start to enter the next level, and once again shoulder to shoulder with death, if you can't clear the level, then no matter how many times you have escaped death before, it will have no effect, so even if the rest time between the game levels is long, players are also scared, and even more afraid of the arrival of the next level.

However, Wan Yongcheng is different from ordinary people, and he actually feels that he has been resting for too long, what kind of brain circuit is this.

"Hey, I said, you're ......"

Ma Hui wanted to speak and stopped, as if she wanted to say something.

"What?"

Wan Yongcheng was stunned for a moment.

"Uh...... I'm just curious, what happened to you two brothers and Zhuge Yanyang before, why did you kill your brother by mistake? ”

Ma Hui was curious about what was going on between them before, and now that the next level hadn't started yet, she was idle anyway, so she took this matter out and nagged.

“……”

Wan Yongcheng seemed to be surprised that Ma Hui would ask about his past, and at the same time, the past was like a movie film, constantly playing back in Wan Yongcheng's brain.

Seeing that Wan Yongcheng suddenly stopped talking when he heard his doubts, Ma Hui thought that it was the past that Wan Yongcheng didn't want to mention, so he directly interrupted: "That, I'll just ask casually, if you don't want to say it, forget it!" ”

"No, do you really want to know?"

Wan Yongcheng looked at Ma Hui with a serious face.

"I am ......"

Ma Hui is also bored, so he just took a bite in such an instant, but he didn't expect Wan Yongcheng to be so serious, so Ma Hui couldn't say that I was just idle, so I wanted to find a topic to chat, right?

But when Ma Hui was thinking about how to divert the topic, Wan Yongcheng went straight to the point and began to recall his past: "I still remember that at that time, when I first met Zhuge Yanyan, she was still a rural girl who had just entered the city from the countryside. ”

"Your vision is really unique!"

Thinking of Zhuge Yanyang's current appearance, Ma Hui couldn't help but complain.
