I looked down at the shadow on the ground, and a sense of mortal dread instantly gripped my heart.

I was standing there with the body on my back, but the shadows on the ground showed... I didn't carry anything, but a lean man sat on my neck with his hands on my head.

I subconsciously freed up a hand and touched my neck, my neck was frozen cold, there was nothing on it, and I didn't feel the feeling of being pressed by a heavy object.

I don't know what the hell is riding on my neck, but the only way to do it is to keep going!

Now my location is in the forest of dumpling trees. Could it be that when I passed by the dumpling tree just now, there was a hanged ghost riding on my neck?

I shivered, and my legs began to tremble... I held on to the corpse behind me and tried to speed up my pace.

Just when I was thinking nervously, I saw an even more terrifying scene!

The shadow riding on my neck actually lifted his hands up straight, his feet interlaced with each other, firmly locking my neck, and his body did not shake at all.

I looked at the figure on the ground in disbelief, not daring to guess his next move.

Suddenly, the thin figure stretched out two fingers and slowly leaned towards the big shadow's head.

Look at this... He's going to gouge out my eyeballs!

My eyes widened in horror, and if I looked up now, I would definitely see a group of hanged people in the trees again, but when I looked down and saw such a strange scene, I instantly panicked.

On the ground, the big shadow was in step with me, but the little figure around the shadow's neck had already put its claw-like fingers on the big shadow's cheek.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all fake..."

I silently comforted myself, and immediately raised my head, staring ahead, not looking at what was on the ground.

Now the situation is very strange and bizarre, and I feel a potential danger in the darkness on all sides.

What's worse is that when I left, I couldn't free my hands because I was carrying the corpse on my back, so I didn't take a backpack, and now I don't have a glass cup on me, not even a piece of rune paper, so I can't cope with the current situation at all.

There was endless darkness in front of me, and under the illumination of the lights, a few small trees stood on the dirt bags in a daze, and a hazy mist filled the treetops...

My heart was pounding, I ran out of breath, and I finally walked out of the woods.

I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when I took a flashlight and looked ahead, my face turned pale in an instant!

There are not overgrown fields, but heaps of graves!

Other words... I didn't go out of the woods, but into the graves deeper in the woods.

This is the place where the villagers bury their dead relatives, and according to legend, the dumpling tree has the effect of summoning spirits, and because of this, the villagers dig their graves in the forest, and I actually came here by a ghost!

There was a black mist floating in the mound, and one by one the graves loomed in the mist.

I bent over and carried the corpse, my body was so cold that I didn't dare to move half a step forward.

At that moment, someone behind me suddenly slapped me on the back of the head.

I didn't make a sound, but I could feel a real pain.

I was terrified and wanted to look back to see who was behind me. But then, a brutal pull tugged at my collar and walked to the right.

I wanted to resist, but my legs couldn't exert my strength, and my body let the force pull forward.

To the right is a dense row of small trees with branches as thick as a wrist and purple leaves on the branches. I don't know the name of this tree, and I don't think I've seen it grow here before.

But the pull pulled me straight into the row of trees.

Seeing that my head was about to hit the black tree trunk, I clung to the corpse behind me and closed my eyes in panic: "Ah!"

Strangely, my body didn't touch anything, and my cheeks didn't get a little bit of skin scratched by the branches.

I slowly opened my eyes and found that the ancestral tomb of the Chen family was not far away, and I was stepping on the withered yellow grass under my feet, and I didn't even see a shadow of a tree nearby.

Where are the graves and dumpling trees just now?!

I was surprised to turn my head to take a look, but the back of my head was slammed again.

It was as if someone was deliberately reminding me to go.

This blow was so hard that my eyes were so painful that my eyes were cold, my back was cold, and I didn't dare to look back, so I hurriedly carried my grandfather's body to the cemetery.

Stepping on the potholed ground, I walked for another five or six minutes, and finally arrived at the ancestral grave.

At the front of the mound, Grandpa's grave was dug out of a large pit, the black coffin inside was open, and the coffin lid was thrown aside at will.

A bag of yellow soft dirt had been piled up on the right side of the grave, with a mess of footprints on it. Looking at the digging marks in the grave, there is no cut surface that has been shoveled by a shovel, and it is completely uneven and uneven.

I put down my grandfather's body, threw the white sheets into the ditch, carefully put the body back into the coffin, and filled the pit with earth.

Because I didn't have any tools, I worked hard for a long time to fill in the grave and bury the coffin without revealing any gaps.

I wiped the sweat from my head, thinking that tomorrow my father and they should come over to fix the grave, and I wouldn't have to waste too much work here.

"Grandpa, I'm disturbing your old man's house, my great-grandson will accompany you."

I knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the grave, then stood up and patted the dirt off my pants.

Now that things are done, my only concern is how to get back.

If you go back the way you came, you might have to do something weird.

I thought about it for a moment and decided not to take the path I had just taken but to go forward, detour to the road to the east, and walk back along the road. Although it takes more time, the road is much safer than the woods, especially the dumpling trees, which make my scalp tingle just thinking about the hanged ghosts in the trees.

I had made up my mind, folded my hands together towards the grave, and said silently, "Grandpa, grandma." Please bless me to get home safely. ”

I turned away, blew my nose, wrapped my coat tightly and walked towards the field ahead.

Along the way, I didn't encounter anything strange, and I walked as fast as I could, and it took me less than thirty minutes to return to the village.

I stopped at the door of my house and gently opened the big iron door, the courtyard was silent, the living room was dark, and snoring could be heard from my parents' bedroom.

I tiptoed back to my room, impatiently took off my shoes and went to bed, covering myself with a thick layer of quilt. The journey just now had already made me half tired to death, my body froze into popsicles, and my snot couldn't stop flowing down.

But I didn't rush to lie down and rest, but looked down at my watch—there was still a minute to go to exactly twelve o'clock, which meant that it took me an hour to go back and forth to bury the body of my ancestors.

I suddenly remembered something, and quickly looked around - the black backpack was still lying quietly at the head of the bed. I reached for it, unzipped it and pulled out the glass bowl inside.

Now I can just accept the next task, and the strange guy downstairs has already told me that time is very short, and the longer I delay, the more critical my situation will be, so I can't relax in the slightest, and I must hurry up and complete the conditions left by my grandfather.

"Knock knock knock ..."

I bent my finger and tapped seven times at the bottom of the lantern.

The body suddenly shuddered, and a streamer suddenly flashed in his mind-

"The thirty-fourth Watchman of the Dark Glass Bowl, please note that you will face a selective mission next."

After reading the content of the information, I was stunned, what is a selective task? It seems that I have never encountered it before, and I have never heard Lin Lingling and Mu seniors say it.

Before I could come back to my senses, a few more pieces of information came to my mind—

"You can choose task 1, stage task, difficulty level: C.

You can choose task 2, objective task, difficulty level: B.

Note: Make sure you are selecting - tap once at the bottom of the light to think that the watchman accepts task 1, and tap twice at the bottom of the light to think that the watchman accepts task 2. Please consider carefully to determine your choice. If you do not make a selection within five minutes, task 1 is selected by default. ”

I went through the information in my head many times, and I didn't miss a single detail from beginning to end.

To be sure, the current mission system is somewhat peculiar, and there are two missions in front of me.

The first is a phased mission with a difficulty level of C, and the second is a target task with a difficulty level of B. I had to make my choice within five minutes, or I would have accepted the first assignment automatically.

I don't know what the mechanics of task distribution are, so I don't know if I was given two options within the rules, or if there was something special about it.

"Senior Mu, this task..."

I habitually wanted to consult Mu Lao, but as soon as I blurted out the words, I suddenly remembered that Mu Lao was no longer in the lantern.

Right now... It's up to me to make up my own mind.

My brain was racing, thinking about how to make a choice.

First of all, I have not experienced C-level tasks, and I helped Lin Lingling complete a C-level mission with a C-level difficulty two weeks ago, and the task required to eradicate evil spirits in the hospital. It may be that there is a factor of Lin Lingling's help, but I don't feel that this task is too difficult, and I haven't encountered any fatal dangers that are difficult to resolve.

I remember Lin Lingling told me that if there are other potentiators, then the difficulty of the task can be increased to B level.

Therefore, what happened to me in Luogou Lane should be about the same level of danger as a B-class mission. Although I was almost torn to pieces by the dried corpse, I survived.

Because of this, a crazy idea came to my mind - skip the C-level mission and go straight to the B-level mission.

It may be risky, but remember, I'm not in a good position. The weird old man downstairs told me before that I had to quickly improve my strength until I had the ability to complete the S-class mission before I could find a way to become an independent.

If I skip the C-level mission and go to the B-level mission, it will undoubtedly greatly hone my survivability, and it will shorten the time to complete the S-class mission.

But I also understand the dangers... Every level of mission has a deadly danger lurking, and if I'm too reckless, the B-rank mission could be the last of my mission. Then I'll end up in a wilderness where I don't even know how I died!

Moreover, I have been a watchman for less than half a year, and if I go it alone with other players, I will inevitably be at a disadvantage...

I frowned, my face turned pale, and I looked at my watch for more than half of the time, and hesitated.

Suddenly, a sentence that Mu Lao had said before came to his mind - "Life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." ”

Maybe Mu Lao gave me the answer to my question before leaving. When you're in a dilemma, you might as well give it a go and leave your fate to God. Since you can't escape the fate, no matter how much you dodge it, it's all in vain.

A smile tugged at the corner of my mouth, I had a choice in my heart, and my right hand gently stroked the lantern in my arms.

The index finger bends slightly and strikes at the tin plate at the bottom of the lantern.

"Knock... After that, I didn't hesitate and knocked again. Boom!"

"Buzz!" in my head! With a fluctuation, the last trace of information slowly emerged-

"Playing the watchman, your choice is: selective task 2 - target task.

Mission requirements: Go to the Hanlin Apartment in Yangtian City, survive in the apartment, and spend three nights safely, then the mission is completed.

Reward: 200 trust points. ”
