Here is a mountain forest.

Surrounded by towering trees that block out the sky, the forest is overgrown with bushes, and the weeds grow to the height of half a person. One can tell at a glance that it is a place that humans will not set foot in.

The chirping of various birds mingled together in a tireless and tiresome tune, punctuated by the piercing cicadas.

If it is normal, maybe people will enjoy the beauty of this nature.

But at this moment, several players standing in the forest were obviously not in the mood.

There is only a winding path under their feet, and the front and rear sides extend to the depths, and they don't know where it leads.

Xu Shu's eyes turned around on the others, and just as he counted nine players in total, he heard the system's notification sound.

"Welcome all players to enter the [Paradise] game. The goal of this game is to escape from Yuehua Mountain."

After such a short sentence, there was no sound.

The players were all stunned for a moment, and after a while someone said: "That's it? It's obvious that we are on Yuehua Mountain now, can't we just go down this road and get out?"

"How can it be so easy." A mature woman with long curly hair said lightly, "Do you see the road under our feet? There is a road on this kind of mountain, what does it represent?"

Xu Shu continued: "There are people living near here, and there are quite a few of them. It may be a village."

With only one or two people, it is impossible to step on a path on the mountain.

The woman glanced at him, raised her fiery red lips, and said with a smile, "I guess there should be a mountain village here, and I probably have to go up a little bit."

Xu Shu glanced at Chao Jichuan and asked, "Go and see?"

Ji Chuan didn't speak, and walked straight forward.

There are obvious high and low arcs on the mountain, so it is easy to distinguish the direction of going up and down the mountain.

Xu Shu and the woman also walked up the mountain, while the others stood there hesitating for a moment.

A middle-aged man with a beer belly said: "I still think we can go down the mountain and have a look first. What if this is just a game playing psychological warfare with us? Anyway, the game has just started, and it is impossible for something to happen so quickly. If you go wrong It doesn't matter if you come back, right?"

"Then let's go together." The player who spoke first said.

The other person also expressed that he wanted to go down the mountain to have a look. After some hesitation, the remaining three chose to follow Xu Shu and the others up the mountain.

"My name is Gu Yu, how about you?"

On the mountain road, the woman asked Xu Shu and the others while walking.

Xu Shu thought about it, and thought that according to the regulations that players cannot be killed outside, there is no need to conceal his real name, so he reported his name.

But Ji Chuan didn't intend to speak.

Gu Yu looked at him twice, and didn't ask any further questions, just said: "This is my third game, you should be similar, right? I asked those players in the last game, and they were all around two or three times."

Xu Shu nodded: "Yes, it's my third time too."

"It seems that when the game system matches players, it will group players according to their game experience, and will not suddenly add a high-end player. This is the best way. If there are high-end players, the difficulty of the game will probably increase a lot..."

Gu Yu seems to be a very talkative woman, she has been chatting with Xu Shu on the way up the mountain.

Until the trees in front gradually became scarce and then disappeared, and the silhouettes of some low houses gradually appeared in front of the three of them.

The terrain has also become flatter, and even the trails have gradually become much wider.

They quickened their pace and walked forward, Xu Shu turned his head and said to the three people behind him: "Hurry up, we saw the house."

After getting closer, I found that those houses were built on the mountainside, and there was another forest behind the houses.

The houses are very close to each other and form a long row between the hillsides.They are tall and short, but the tallest is only two floors.

The houses are all mud houses covered with blue tiles, and the chimneys of several of them are slowly emitting light smoke.

At first glance, there is quite a sense of seclusion that is indifferent to the world.

Xu Shu and the others stopped at the entrance of the village and waited for the three players behind.

Two of the three were youths, and there was a young girl who was dressed up vigorously.

When they saw the village in front of them, the girl immediately said "wow", and said in surprise: "This place is also amazing! It's just the place where I dreamed of living in seclusion!"

A young man laughed: "Don't dream about it, I don't know if I can get out alive."

"Don't be so pessimistic," the girl said with a smile, "I'm telling you, the more pessimistic you are, the easier it is to encounter tragic things. You have to be as optimistic as I am, and bad things will turn into good things." Come on, come on, let's all laugh!"

Needless to say, her smile is really contagious.

Except for Ji Chuan, everyone else couldn't help but smile, and their mood relaxed a lot.

At this time, Gu Yu suddenly said: "There is someone in front."

Everyone immediately turned serious and looked forward.

I saw a 40-year-old woman walking out of the door, holding an empty vegetable basket in her hand, as if she was going to pick vegetables somewhere.

When the players see her, she sees them.

The woman was taken aback for a moment, her face changed slightly, and she suddenly quickened her pace and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Xu Shu thought she was coming to ask their identities, but she didn't expect that she stopped at the door of the second family at the entrance of the village. After a knock on the door, a teenager opened the door.

The woman turned her head and pointed at Xu Shu and the others with her chin.

Just as Xu Shu was about to go up to talk to him, he saw the boy quickly go back into the house.

At this time, the woman looked at them and asked, "Did you come down from the mountain? How did you come here?"

Gu Yu immediately said: "Sister, we are members of a club, and we all like small villages like yours that live in seclusion in the mountains, so this time we made a special trip..."

Before she finished speaking, the door behind the woman opened again.

This time, an old man in his sixties came out from inside.

He was wearing a neat Chinese tunic suit. Although he was old, he had a straight back and a hale and hearty look.

Seeing him coming out, the woman hurriedly said, "Village Chief, look at them..."

The old man looked at Xu Shu and the others, frowned slightly, and asked the woman's question again.

Gu Yu answered without changing a word.

The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Forget it, you are here, so stay here. However, after five days, you must leave immediately and never come back."

The players responded quickly.

Xu Shu grasped the main point of the village chief's words - why did he say five days later?

You didn't say that you would stay here for five days, maybe you want to leave tomorrow?How do you hear the meaning of his words, as if they are sure that they will stay for five days?

"There are too many of you, so you can only live separately. My house can accommodate two, and the rest...Wang Wu's daughter-in-law, you should also live in two, and the other two will be arranged to go to Liu's house."

The village head immediately arranged a place for the six of them to live. At this time, the young girl hurriedly said: "Village head, in fact, we still have three companions. They said they would go down on the mountainside just now. I don't know if they will go up again." No. If they come, I will trouble you to find a place to live."

The village chief glanced at her, and said slowly: "Then arrange to go to Wang Dalei's house, Wang Wu's daughter-in-law, you take them there."

The woman sighed and looked at the six people: "Which one of you will live in my house?"

The six looked at each other, and Gu Yu said to Xu Shu first, "Shall we go together?"

"he's mine."

Before Xu Shu could speak, Ji Chuan suddenly said such a sentence.

Xu Shu: "Actually, I think..."

"wanna die?"

"...I didn't think about anything."

Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned around the faces of the two: "Do you know each other?"

"We stay at the village chief's house." Ji Chuan said, and walked directly to the village chief's house.

Xu Shu shrugged helplessly at Gu Yu and followed.

So the young girl Gu Mengmeng and Gu Yu lived in Wang Wu's house together, and the other two young people went to live in Liu's house.

After Xu Shu and Ji Chuan walked into the village chief's house, the old village chief went back to the room by himself, and the boy they had met earlier took them to the bedroom.

Just one room, one bed.

The young man apologized a little: "I'm really sorry, everyone's houses are built on the hillside, and the area is not big, so I wronged you to live together. By the way, my name is Wang Run. If you need anything, just tell me, although It may not be enough to satisfy you.”

He smiled as he spoke, looking like a very sunny person.

"Then I'll trouble you." Xu Shu also smiled, "But we won't bother you for too long, we'll leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

What he said was to test the other party on purpose, and the phrase "five days later" really had to be paid attention to.

I don't know if it's because it's not a secret at all, Wang Run was slightly taken aback after hearing Xu Shu's words, and then said it directly——

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you may not be able to leave."

He said: "Because there will be a sacrificial activity in our village five days later, the whole mountain will be closed at this time of year. Outsiders cannot enter, and people inside must not be able to go out, so you can only leave after the sacrificial ceremony is over." Oh. In fact, I still think it's a bit strange, why are you here now? It stands to reason that outsiders should not be able to enter..."

Hearing these words, Xu Shu frowned slightly.

It's no wonder that when the village chief heard that they had three other companions who might not come, he arranged accommodation for the three of them without saying a word.

It turned out that it was because he had long been sure that they would come back.

Can't leave within five days...

In other words, the mission objective of this game, "Escape from Yuehua Mountain", must be closely related to the sacrifice in Wangjia Village five days later.

What do players need to do?Should we wait quietly for the end of the sacrifice, or find a way to interfere with the sacrifice?

Just as Xu Shu was thinking, he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside.

He and Ji Chuan looked at each other, followed Wang Run out the door, and at the same time heard those shouts clearly.

It was the three players who went down the mountain before.

The two quickened their pace and walked out, only to see the three running towards the village while yelling in a hurry.

After seeing Xu Shu and the others, the beer-bellied man in the lead shouted: "Damn it, you can't get out of this damn place! There is a place below that looks like a transparent wall, and you can't get through it no matter how you go! "
