I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 687 We Won’t Do Anything Rogue

There is actually a road walking towards the mountain from Aifang Town. That is the road that the villagers of Aifang Town use to pick up wood at the foot of the mountain.

But we only reached the foot of the mountain, and strictly speaking, we didn't even really set foot on the hillside.

As we approached the foot of the mountain, the road seemed to have no end.

There is only one trampled path going up the mountain, and it looks like this path is not often traveled.

Although the weeds on the road were trampled into crooked shapes, they were still able to continue growing strongly.

Following the vague path, the two people walked up the mountain.

There are many trees on Wanqi Mountain. Because no one comes to cut them down, they grow lushly, one tree crowded against the other.

If you walk inside, you can't even see the sunlight outside when you look up, you can only see a little blue sky through the gaps.

Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan had just walked a little higher and were raising their hands to push away the weeds when they heard shouting from behind.

"Hey, you can't go into the mountains!"

When I turned around and looked at the direction of the voice, I saw a middle-aged man carrying a bamboo basket on his back. He looked a little weathered and had an untidy beard.

He waved his hands anxiously, as if he was afraid that the two people would go into the woods.

So Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi stopped and walked a few more steps downwards.

The man came trotting over in a hurry, a little out of breath, and raised his hand to shake the bamboo basket on his shoulder.

"Hey, you can't go into the mountains."

"Brother, we are here to investigate. Don't worry, we won't do anything rash. We all have professional knowledge."

Pei Yan explained to him slowly, and Gu Chaoxi nodded.

But the man obviously didn't care who they were. He just looked up at the mountain and then shook his head.

"You can't go into the mountains. It's so dangerous inside and you're still young."

The two looked at each other and sensed something unusual.

The man continued speaking, as if whispering, or as if he was talking to them.

"You can't go in. If my Ni went into the mountain, she would die. She was only twenty years old. Alas!"

"You're not a local?" Gu Chaoxi tilted his head. The ending tone of the man's voice was somewhat different from that of the old man in the B&B.

It sounds like this wasn't something he said at the beginning, but rather something he learned after living here for a long time.

The man nodded, and indeed confirmed Gu Chaoxi's guess: "I'm not a local. I came here five years ago."

At that time, his daughter said she was going to Wanqi Mountain and would be back in about a week.

As a result, a week later, he received the news that his daughter had died.

When he rushed to Wanqi Mountain, he only saw his daughter's body, along with five other boys and girls.

People couldn't figure out why these young children died in Wanqi Mountain. The final conclusion was that they died of hypothermia at night.

But the man was sure it wasn't because of this.

My daughter often went on long trips before she went to Wanqi Mountain, and I couldn't contact her every time she went on trips.

He always told her that he was on a business trip and it was a secret and he couldn't tell anyone else.

He vaguely sensed that something was going on, but he could never find any clues.

Before his daughter went to Wanqi Mountain, he even followed his daughter to the place she went.

However, when his daughter lost contact the next morning, he searched for her in that place for a long time but could not find her.

All this was like a cloud of doubt lingering in the man's mind.

Three years ago, another group of men and women came to Wanqi Mountain. The man paid attention to them. There were eight of them.

He wanted to dissuade these people from going up the mountain. Although these people did listen to him and did not go up the mountain at first, they disappeared together the next day.

At that time, he guessed that these people should have climbed Mount Wanqi on the next day.

Because he was worried, he kept hanging around the foot of the mountain for a few days, just wanting to see when these people would come out of the mountain so that he could help them immediately if they needed help.

But for many days, not even a shadow was seen.

Other people in Aifang Town told the man to stop being so persistent, as those people might have already died in the mountains.

But he didn't believe it. How old were those children? Why were they so determined to go into Wanqi Mountain?

However, after guarding for a month, there was no sign of the group of people. The man could only comfort himself that the children might have come down the mountain and left the place when he was not looking.

This was just words to comfort himself. He knew better than anyone that once you entered Wanqi Mountain, it would be difficult to get out alive.

Now seeing Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan wanting to go to the mountain, the man's first reaction was to stop them.

Gu Chaoxi lowered her eyes, came back to her senses from the man's story, and looked up at Pei Yan.

Both of them saw the same expression in each other's eyes. Those eight people from three years ago were obviously players from the other world.

Otherwise, who would come to Wanqi Mountain for adventure by chance?

Except for some brave backpackers, it is impossible for ordinary people to think of coming to such a place, and to come to such a place to the extent that they have to.

However, at the moment, Gu Chaoxi decided to listen to the man's opinion first.

"Don't worry, we won't do anything rash." She tugged at the corner of Pei Yan's clothes and walked towards the man.

"You have to promise not to go into the mountains tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Well, we won't go into the mountains. We'll just investigate nearby." She nodded and assured him with certainty.

In fact, since the inner world has already announced that the location of the plane is Wanqi Mountain, even if they don't enter the mountain, they will automatically enter the plane when the time comes.

After all, it is now within the scope of Wanqi Mountain.

As for where the spiritual vein in the myth is, we will probably have to wait until we enter the plane and see the situation to find out.

Under the man's gaze, the two men temporarily walked towards the direction of Aifang Town.

Seeing that they really went back obediently, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

In just a moment, he thought back to what happened three years ago. These two people shouldn't lie to him, right?

Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan, who were walking away, had no idea what he was thinking. They were recalling the scene they had just seen when they went up that road.

Although the road felt like it was overgrown with weeds, it should only end about ten meters ahead.

In other words, some villagers in Aifang Town will move a little higher, but not many.

If they continued to go inside and encountered extreme situations, the probability of death would be extremely high.

In addition, the vegetation coverage rate of Wanqi Mountain is very high, with trees almost next to each other, as well as vines and bushes. It is not a suitable place for walking at all.

If what the man said is true, it can be basically confirmed that the Wanqi Mountain plane was last opened three years ago. According to him, those eight people probably died in this plane.

It seems that Wanqi Mountain is indeed a dangerous place, both in reality and in the other world.
