Reverse selection?

Jiang Yuchu thought about it and felt that maybe what Song Yitian said was not without merit.

"How about voting?" Xu Huihui suggested in a low voice.

Song Yitian immediately responded, "Yes, let's vote. Those who agree to go in raise their hands, and those who disagree don't need to raise their hands."

After saying that, she immediately raised her hand.

Xu Huihui glanced at the others and raised her hand silently. Qin Hong was her boyfriend, so naturally he followed her and raised his hand as well.

Song Yitian raised his hand and fiddled with Song Ci'an, "Raise your hand, do you want to stay outside with Jiang Yuchu and wait for death?"

Song Ci'an glanced at Jiang Yuechu and slowly raised his hand, "I think it's better to go in. The situation outside is not better than inside."

With the addition of Song Ci'an, even if Jiang Yuchu and Tao Runyan didn't raise their hands, Song Yitian still won.

Jiang Yuechu hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Okay, let's go in and take a look at the situation first."

Song Yitian snorted, walked to the entrance of the ancient temple first, reached out and pushed open the dilapidated door, stepped over the rotten threshold, and what appeared in front of him was a weed-covered courtyard and a paint-chip incense burner lying in the middle of the stone road.

Looking forward along the stone road, a large main hall appeared in front of everyone, with dim candlelight shining through the broken windows.

[Reminder: The ancient temple houses the Mountain Goddess who has lived for over a hundred years. Please be careful.]

A mechanical prompt sounded in the empty scene, and everyone became alert.

"The mountain goddess who has survived for over a hundred years?"

Jiang Yuchu thought of what happened in that village before. There was also a mountain god. If the two were connected, then the disappearance of the ancient temple and the strange things happening in the village were both related to the same mountain god.

Song Yitian said nonchalantly: "The mission has been triggered. Otherwise, how can we proceed? Why are we so nervous?"

"You think you can get away with such an easy task for a mountain goddess who has survived for over a hundred years?" Jiang Yuechu frowned. "You really underestimate the gods."

Song Yitian sneered, "Jiang Yuchu, this is just a game, there are no real gods, you are the only one making a fuss."

"Everything in the world is interdependent and mutually exclusive. Where there are ghosts, there are gods. Just because you don't believe in them doesn't mean they don't exist. Blasphemy against gods will only make you reap the consequences in the future." Jiang Yuechu said coldly.

Song Yitian rolled his eyes at Jiang Yuechu. "If there really are gods in the world, then why didn't they take action when the Japanese invaded China? If there really are ghosts, why didn't the innocent souls who died tragically at the hands of the Japanese invaders seek revenge?"

Song Yitian’s idea was too naive.

Gods have their own rules and cannot interfere too much in the affairs of mortals. Ghosts are easier to explain. All the innocent souls who were killed are still afraid when they see the murderer and cannot take revenge by themselves.

Jiang Yuchu was too lazy to explain so much to Song Yitian. People like her only live in their own world and think that all their ideas are correct.

"There are lights in the ancient temple, maybe there are still people inside."

In order to prevent Jiang Yuchu and Song Yitan from arguing, Xu Huihui quickly changed the subject, pointed to the main hall of the ancient temple and walked inside.

Song Yitian's attention was attracted and he walked behind Xu Huihui.

Under the pure moonlight, Jiang Yuechu felt that everything here was weird, and even sensed that danger was nearby.

'Rustle, rustle.'

As they walked forward, the rustling sound of their footsteps was particularly clear. When Jiang Yuechu stopped, the sound also stopped.

Auditory hallucinations?

Jiang Yuechu took another tentative step forward.

'rustle. '

Sure enough, the voice rang out again.

Turn around sharply.

The night was as dark as ink, the surroundings were overgrown with weeds, and there was nothing at all.

"There was clearly a sound just now."

Jiang Yuchu took a few more steps, and the voice was intermittent, as if testing her.

'Rustle, rustle.'

The footsteps were following her closely as if they were chasing her life. She would not act rashly until she was sure what that thing was.

Jiang Yuechu ran quickly towards the main hall. When she pushed the door, the sound behind her suddenly disappeared. She looked out through the broken window and there was indeed nothing.

"what happened?"

Tao Runyan saw that she looked ugly, breathing heavily, and her forehead was covered with sweat.

Jiang Yuechu swallowed and took a deep breath before replying, "Nothing, I just heard a strange sound following us in the yard."

"Strange noise?"

Tao Runyan looked behind Jiang Yuechu. There was nothing in the yard except some weeds.

"Could it be the sound of the wind?"

Jiang Yuechu shook his head, "No, I'm sure that sound was made by someone stepping on the weeds."

The more unknown something is, the easier it is for people to have endless imagination. Once fear is planted in the heart, whatever horrible picture the mind conjures up will appear before our eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Tao Runyan reached out and held Jiang Yuechu's hand. It was cold to the touch, as if all the blood in the body had been drained.

The more she acted like this, the more worried he became.

Jiang Yuechu nodded, "It better not be what I imagined, otherwise, none of us will be able to walk out alive."

"What do you mean? Didn't you arrange this place?"

Jiang Yuchu did not reply. She still did not understand what A Yan's purpose was. It was obviously just an ordinary escape room, but now it seemed like he wanted her to know something.

"It's okay, let's take it one step at a time. Maybe I'm just thinking too much."

Tao Runyan responded and stood beside Jiang Yuechu to comfort her.

Xu Huihui and the others were already wandering around the main hall, the sound of discussions continuing in the ears.

Hearing the sound and looking, Jiang Yuechu saw a goddess with a black python around her body and wearing gorgeous clothes enshrined on the pedestal in the main hall. She had slender eyebrows and kind eyes, and she looked very approachable and kind.

This is probably the mountain goddess in the ancient temple.

She was holding a whisk in her hand, and her right hand was clenched into a fist with a gap in the middle, as if something had been placed there before and then taken away.

What’s strange is that there is no boy offering sacrifices to the mountain goddess, only two small snakes curled up with their heads exposed.

Jiang Yuchu recalled the scene that A Yan had shown her before, in which the village chief had also mentioned the appearance of a black python. Could it be related to the Mountain Goddess?

On the altar in front of the Mountain Goddess, there were two candles as thick as arms. The flames rose up, dispelling the darkness in the temple.

There are two identical screens on both sides of the ancient temple, with words still remaining on them, and one can vaguely make out what was written on them.

Jiang Yuechu walked to the front of the screen and looked at the words on it in the dim candlelight. The first sentence shocked her.

"There is life without death, and there is death without life."
