【Approaching the target】

[Only 100 meters away from the target]

[Only 80 meters away from the target]

Mai Si couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and quickened his pace.

"There really is a gatekeeper."

"I really didn't expect to meet him in such a way."

"What do you say after you meet?"

"Shake hands first, then hug them?"

"Hey, could the other party be a woman? Maybe you're still young? ”

[Approaching the target......

Max pulled out his phone, glanced at the screen, and saw that the jumping red dot almost overlapped with his position.

He swept his gaze forward urgently.

There was a mess of woods in front of you, and you couldn't see anything inside.

Max stopped and coughed softly, hoping that someone would soon come out of the woods.

But this cough was like a mud cow entering the sea, and more than ten seconds passed, and there was still no movement in the woods, not even a single hair was seen.

Suspicious, Mai Si held the iron rod to his chest and walked towards the edge of the woods.

When he came to the edge of the forest, he glanced at his phone and found that he was closer to the red dot, but strangely, even if he rubbed his eyes again and again, he couldn't see a single figure.

"Anyone?" Max shouted softly.

No one answered him.

Max walked into the woods, following the markings on the map, trying to make further contact with the red dot.

Until the blue dot coincided with the red dot, Max still didn't notice any traces.

"Could it be that this is a complete hoax?"

Not at ease, Mai Si raised his head and swept over the tops of every tree around him.

Suddenly, something stumbled over Mais.

When the light shone up, it turned out to be a large rock.

With this photo, Mai Si became suspicious.

The dirt was completely new, soft and damp, and it was clear that something had touched the soil here not long ago.

Mai thought about squatting down immediately......

At this squat, a beep similar to a certain kind of beep immediately sounded in the mobile phone, and the system prompt sounded again:

[Find the gatekeeper, please start the task handover ...... immediately]

……

Max quickly went and returned, with an extra shovel in his hand.

He found it from a hut next to the woods.

Now, he is very sure that there must be demons in this land.

He always felt that there must be a person buried in the soil, and that person was the gatekeeper who the system asked him to come to connect.

Max rested his phone on the fork of a tree trunk, spat a mouthful of saliva on his palm, rolled up his sleeves and began to carefully dig the soil.

Every shovel, he is cautious and cautious, for fear that the shovel will touch something.

As more and more soil was dug out, Max didn't dare to dig abruptly, always thinking that he would accidentally hurt the people buried inside, so he simply threw away the shovel and picked up the fresh soil with his bare hands.

At this time, a mobile phone rang in my ears.

At first, Max thought it was from his mobile phone, but after a little debate, he found that the voice was coming from the soil in front of him.

The sound was like an attack order, and Max began to dig into the earth like crazy.

When the pit was almost half a man deep, Max first saw a piece of cloth stained with mud, pulled it hard, and found that it was very tight, Max moved the soil covering it along the fabric, and as the work went deeper and deeper, he suddenly saw a pale face.

Sure enough, it's a person.

A corpse, to be exact.

Max dragged the body out of the pit with all his might, moved a flashlight, and shone the light on the body repeatedly.

He looked to be a middle-aged man, who looked to be about forty years old, with a thick beard on his lips, long hair, and a clothes that could not be seen clearly, but like a jacket, with only one leather shoe on his feet, and the other nowhere to be found.

Max first examined his whole body, but found no obvious wounds, not at all like he had been bitten to death by some strange beast.

There are all kinds of indications that this gatekeeper who came to the joint by all means he did everything possible died a strange death. But even if Max thinks on his toes, he knows that his murder must have been caused by human factors.

"Could it be that there are other people in this ruin?"

"Why did he kill the gatekeeper?"

"Also, why go to such lengths to bury him after killing him?"

……

Bewildered, Max began to search the gatekeeper's pocket.

His hand reached into the pocket of the other's underwear, and Max had already touched a rectangular hard object.

Cell phone?

As soon as the thought struck, the object vibrated suddenly, and then the familiar ringtone of the cell phone echoed through the woods again.

Max hurriedly took it out, and sure enough, it was a smartphone, brushing off the dust on it, and Max saw that the caller ID on the screen was: daughter.

The mobile phone rang for a minute, and it finally stopped, and it didn't take long for it to ring again.

"To answer, or not to answer?"

After the third call, Max decisively slid the screen.

Sticking the phone to his ear, Max could hear that it was very noisy, and just about to ask, a crisp female voice in the microphone breathed a long sigh of relief: "Thank God, Dad, you finally answered the phone!" ”

Max didn't speak, because he really didn't know what to say.

"Dad, you speak, how many times have I called you, why did you answer?"

"Dad, where are you?"

"It's been three days, and there is no sound or image, but I am dying......"

……

"Hey, Dad, why don't you speak?"

"Dad, Dad, you're squeaking!"

……

Max sighed and said with great grief, "I'm not your father......"

"Who are you?" The other party quickly interrupted Maisi, "Who the hell are you?" How can there be my dad's phone? What the hell happened to him? ”

"I ...... You...... Your dad is dead! ”
