He hugged the log and sprinted with all his might, carefully feeling the touch of the log's feedback, and rushed towards the whirlpool like the wind, and his figure looked like a leopard in the jungle from behind.

The moment they touched, the whirlpools were squeezed to the sides like ripples, forming folds that spread in circles. At the same time, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, like the peristalsis intestines of living creatures, and in each fold showed the monotonous and old scene of the previous scene. It stretches and elongates like a strip of black and white film, and overlaps repeatedly, forming a double helix structure similar to a chromosome.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Ivan gritted his teeth and galloped, dropping the log as soon as he entered the whirlpool, and rushed forward along the folds of repeating scenes. After running for about 100 meters, the passages in front of me were intertwined and overlapped, and rotated clockwise alternately. So much so that he began to faint as he ran, and he couldn't tell which passage he had entered before.

The further back you go, the more tightly the two passages intertwine and overlap, and the scene on the folds gradually blurs, and the exit of the part where the picture completely disappears—two orange-red vortices about three meters high are slowly stirring, and the eyes of the vortex seem to be connecting the two dimensions. A beam of golden light shot out of it, like a bridge hanging in the air.

"Left or right?"

Evan looked at the exact same whirlpool in front of him, and after a moment of entanglement, he could only habitually choose the right based on his feelings.

As his figure flew through the vortex eye, a strange orange light swept across his eyes, and then his vision suddenly became clear and wide, and the surrounding anomalies disappeared.

One by one, one by one

After the vision vanished, Evan appeared in the courtyard of another villa, next to a flower pond filled with clear water. Looking around, the soft lawn is carpeted in the courtyard. There was a half-man-tall green tree beside the planter, which seemed to have just been planted, and looked sick, and the trunk was brushed with white lime.

In the corridor in front of the front of the villa, a young couple and their youngest daughter sat at a white round table, staring at him in unison. The family's expressions looked subtle, showing a bit of surprise, but more commonplace and numb.

“......”

Ivan squinted his eyes vigilantly, his whole body tensed into the best state of strength, arching his back while grasping the ground with his toes, intending to preemptively strike before the goblin attacked.

"Hey, buddy, you're cold!"

The man seemed to sense the killing intent in his eyes, and hurriedly raised his hands and explained in a harmless posture:

"I know you're qualified, and I know you're part of an invisible space, and you're taking on a challenge to survive. But now you can rest assured that the security here is very good and we have been living here for a long time. ”

“......”

Ivan remained silent, the previous lesson had taught him what it meant to be a curse from the mouth, and it was better to be easy or not to speak.

"Dad, this is the third one today!"

The little blonde girl sitting in the middle of the round table suddenly raised her little face, said a word in a milky voice, and knocked the white porcelain cup three times with the spoon in her hand.

"Lina!

The hostess suddenly embraced the little girl, took her into her arms, and turned her face away from Evan's gaze, her eyes very frightened - almost like seeing a neurotic who could not communicate.

One by one, one by one

"Are there any neutral NPCs here?"

Evan observed the family suspiciously, and although he didn't feel threatened by them, he couldn't tell if the three were ghosts in disguise.

No matter which one it is, you can tell the real from the fake by beating you half dead!

Thinking of this, he immediately pinched his hands into the shape of eagle claws, and the large and small green tendons on his body instantly protruded from the surface of his skin, like blue-black steel bars wrapped around his body.

"Captain, don't do it!"

Just as Evan was about to make a ruthless move, a familiar shout came from afar, which immediately attracted all his attention.

He looked back sharply and saw that the white bear was standing across the road, waving at him across the busy road. Seeing him looking at him, the white bear breathed a sigh of relief, and waited until the green light came on before he quickly crossed the road and ran into the courtyard of the villa.

"Finally found you!"

The white bear approached him, looking very excited, as if he wanted to give him a hug.

“......”

Evan immediately took a few steps back, pointed to his mud-covered face, and looked at him with a suspicious look: "I've become like this, can you recognize it?"

"Have you forgotten that I have a special sense?"

The white bear lowered his arm thoughtfully, then raised his hand and shot out a spider silk that stuck to the pillar of the corridor:

"This is my signature ability, it should be able to verify the right body, right?"

"Reluctantly. ”

Evan nodded suspiciously, and pointed to the family of three behind him: "Why stop me, can you be sure that there is no problem with the three guys over there?"

"I'm sure. ”

Bai Xiong bowed his head lightly and said with a serious expression: "All in all, the specific situation is very complicated, you come with me first." ”

One by one, one by one

The two left the courtyard of the villa and walked on the sidewalk one after the other, and the white bear deliberately handed his back to Ivan while explaining what had happened to him:

"After I entered the invisible space, I appeared directly on the side of the road, not only did I lose my way from you, but the numbered aura that was originally used to identify me also disappeared. Luckily, though, the Survival Challenge didn't seem to be difficult at first. As you can see, it's just an old-time town, with no psychics, no mechanics, and no apostle Shylock. There are only a lot of ordinary people, and the means of transportation are still planes and cars. ”

As he spoke, he looked sideways at the passing car, and his expression gradually became grim:

"Even if all of the supernatural abilities are removed, it will not be difficult to survive in this kind of city for sixty days. I can assume that in a very short period of time there will be a great change here, and we must be prepared for anything before that. ”

"Wait a minute!"

Evan was a little dazed when he heard this, and quickly interrupted him: "You mean that the mission was safe at the beginning? Can you really be sure that it is safe? I killed a ghost with my own hands a few hours ago, and I almost killed him!"

"Goblins!?"

Bai Xiong suddenly stopped his pace and turned to look at him in surprise: "There are not a few qualified people who participate in this trial, most of us get together to help each other, and we have never heard of ghost attacks. ”

"That's weird......" Ivan stopped and looked at the surroundings carefully, always feeling inexplicably familiar.
