Chapter 388: Clear the Laneway

Shen Yu stood at the entrance of the alley and did not go in.

He stared thoughtfully at the deep alley.

He was thinking about the rules just now, and although it was a fact that he was thinking about it very attentively, with Xu Tingfang's personality, if she wanted to enter the alley, she would definitely tell him that she would dare to enter only after getting his consent.

And with Shen Lu's understanding of her, Xu Tingfang is a little anxious, but he doesn't have a strong view of the overall situation, and he doesn't have much courage.

Even if she wanted to go into the alley, she would follow him.

That is, she was either dragged in by something in the fog, and now she is in the fog.

Either they took the initiative to enter the alley on their own.

Either way, he didn't hear Xu Tingfang's voice.

It is likely that Xu Tingfang didn't see him when she left the alley, or she did make a sound and called him, but he couldn't hear it due to the influence of the strange force.

That is...... This alley can only be cleared by one person, and it does not allow two people to enter at the same time.

Interesting.

Shen Ji looked at the rules on the sign on the side again.

[Do not touch the wall.] ใ€‘

[Once you enter, you can't stop.] ใ€‘

[Don't look back.] ใ€‘

He thought about it for a long time, and his eyes stayed on the rule of "Don't Look Back" for the longest time.

Shen Ji kept thinking that this rule might not be a multiple-choice question.

It's not all about protecting the player, and it's not covering for weirdness.

Maybe...... Both?

This rule is neutral.

Don't look back, nothing will happen to the player.

At the same time, don't look back to avoid being found behind you and losing some information.

Finally, Shen Yu made up his mind.

He did something that no one else had thought of......

I saw Shen Yu standing at the mouth of the alley, turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and walked backwards into the alley!

In this way, you can not only meet the requirement of not looking back, but also see what will appear behind you.

One-step......

Two-step ......

Three-step ......

Shen Lu walked very slowly, the laneway walls on both sides of his vision were still far away from him, although it was easy to bump and bump when walking backwards, but as long as he walked slowly enough and was careful enough with his feet, this bump could be completely avoided.

However, when Shen Gu retreated backwards and walked a distance of almost ten meters from the mouth of the alley, the anomaly rose sharply!

In the fog at the mouth of the alley, a vague figure appeared, and dense "black lines" and "frog eggs" converged towards the figure from above the alleyway wall, and soon ...... A twisted figure stood at the mouth of the alley.

"She" just opened her eyes and made a voice: "Shen ......"

However, before the cry could be shouted, this "Xu Tingfang", which was composed of countless strange things, froze in place.

Shen Ji completely saw the process of "her" from nothing!

At the same moment, the fog behind "Xu Tingfang" at the mouth of the alley was also dissipating rapidly, and the outline of a lighted building loomed in front of Shen Yu's eyes.

He's been there.

No...... Even if you haven't been there, you can still see the huge, red-lit words on the gate of the building - Sick Village Nursing Home.

I see.

Under the influence of strange forces, this alley has become an entrance is an exit, and an exit is an entrance.

No wonder there is a sentence in the rules that "you can reach the nursing home in the ward village through Jiuqu Lane".

If it is not necessary, this rule does not need to be mentioned at all, just write a [customs clearance can leave the Jiuqu Lane area] like the rules in other places.

It turns out that the "nursing home" mentioned in the rules is a "landmark", as long as you see the fog at the mouth of the alley behind you dissipate and reveal the nursing home through any method of "not looking back", you will notice that the entrance and exit of the alley are actually one.

And once you go deep into this alley, no matter how deep and far you go in it, I'm afraid it will be a dead end.

So...... This ghost that has transformed into "Xu Tingfang", its significance of existence is also obvious.

Judging from the fact that it just opened its mouth to shout to itself, Shen Yu could basically determine that this thing, like the common ghosts in the past, needed to make humans complete a certain action through temptation in order to untie the shackles of "it".

No, it also has a role, in fact, no matter how good or bad it is disguised, its purpose can actually be achieved.

If the disguise is good, the player is fooled, listens to it, and dies.

If the camouflage is not good, the player is not fooled, and perceives that it is a ghost at the mouth of the alley, and they dare not think of a way to look back, at this time they have only one choice, to leave the mouth of the alley at a faster speed, out of the ghost's sight, so that they are further away from the real exit.

After thinking everything through, Shen Yu slowly and methodically stopped going backwards, staring at the wriggling deformed monster at the mouth of the alley with his eyes, pacing, and walking towards the mouth of the alley again.

With every step he took, the monster grew taller and more terrifying.

The dense "frog eggs" and "black lines" all over the body make this monster look ugly and terrifying.

Shen Ji could even smell the stench coming from it.

Shen ...... Skeleton!!!!! โ€

It was as if there were countless hoarse voices coming from that body, and just listening to it made people's scalps tingle.

The monster at the mouth of the alley changed all kinds of hideous and terrifying appearances, and its body almost blocked the entire mouth of the alley!

A huge frightened body that was four or five meters tall obscured some of the light, casting a terrifying shadow.

It took a great deal of courage to walk towards this monster, but Shen Ji's complexion did not change in the slightest.

Not only did he walk faster and faster, but even the smile on his face grew.

Until...... He saw a bloody face on the monster's body, among the wriggling black "frog eggs".

That's Xu Tingfang.

The smile on Shen Lu's face became dangerous.

He clearly felt anger in his heart.

She's dead.

Staring at this terrifying monster, Shen Lu's mind thought for a moment, why did he feel angry about Xu Tingfang's death?

What does it matter to me whether she lives or dies?

Though he thought so, he was an honest man, and he did have a fire in his faith, burning dangerously and violently.

That's right...... Qin Manjiang and I will go to her because she is likely to have found the "lesion".

Players in each area have one or two clues that only they can "see", right?

Right......

It must be so.

This ugly thing ruined my plans and made the adventure worthless.

Shen Yu seemed to have found a reason, and step by step, he walked to the mouth of the alley and stood quietly in front of this terrifying wriggling monster that was already about five meters away.

Shen Jue raised his head, and Xu Tingfang's body was in its abdomen, wrapped in dense "frog eggs".

"Poofโ€”"

Reaching into the monster's abdomen with his bare hands, he grabbed Xu Tingfang's corpse, and pulled it hard, bringing out a large piece of viscous liquid and "frog eggs", as well as a large piece of "black line" insects scattered and escaped.

Xu Tingfang, whose arms and shoulders were almost shattered, folded his hands, curled up into a ball, and was pulled out by Shen Remains.

Shen Lu's face remained unchanged, and he caught her and didn't let her body fall to the ground.

At this moment, Shen Yu had already come to the mouth of the alley, and this terrifying monster was still roaring inwardly.

It had been completely seen through, and it couldn't hurt Shen Ji at all.

It could only watch as the "short" human, holding a huddled corpse, stood in front of its massive body.

"Click-"

An eyeball fell to the ground.

It was the human eye that grew out of it when it was transformed into "Xu Tingfang", and as its size became larger and more deformed, that eyeball naturally went to other parts of the body.

When Shen Yu pulled out Xu Tingfang's corpse just now, he brought down this already unstable eyeball.

Shen Yu looked up at it and said with a smile, "Your thing has dropped." โ€

A monster is a monster, and it doesn't understand Shen Ji's words, but its instinct does make its "feet" squirm and extend partially, trying to pick up the "eyeball" back.

However......

"Smack!"

Shen Yu raised his foot violently and stomped on this "eyeball"!

After a few more calmly twisted feet, he looked up at the deformed and twisted monster, and said, "Don't pick it up." โ€
