Zhang Tianyi's words shocked everyone except Lao Gao, and the carriage suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of people's heavy breathing growing louder.

  After a while, Monk Miao Ran asked again:

  "You mean this place doesn't belong to the real world, but is just a curse? A dead loop?"

  "Are you doubting me?"

  Zhang Tianyi seemed to have heard a joke, and his mouth corners slightly opened with an arc, revealing a sly smile on his face. He chuckled lightly and replied to the rotten monk:

  "Of course, you don't have to believe me, because the facts will speak for themselves."

  "Heavenly one, I'm not doubting you, but you should know that you and Old Gao didn't tell us this way back then. There wasn't even a hint about what's going on here."

  "What could you have done if I had told you from the start? Could you have changed this fate? Or avoided all of this? It would only be more anxiety and despair in your hearts! Am I wrong?"

  The Taoist priest stopped making a sound and sat down again in silence, apparently Zhang Tianyi had not said anything wrong.

  "How many times have you been reincarnated?"

  This time, the inquiry was replaced by Xin Yan.

  "Twice."

  Xin Yan thought for a moment and then asked:

  "Are the paranormal events here more dangerous than reality?"

  "Dealing with those ghostly creatures is naturally fraught with danger, and it's not much different from reality. It's just that the paranormal events here are mostly caused by mischievous spirits, and I've never experienced any vengeful or malevolent spirit events."

  However, there is a prerequisite: the vengeful spirits encountered when the car stops are not included.

  After hearing this, Xiao Mo's heart sank, and the joy that had been covered up by him instantly disappeared. Mirrors are useless to ghosts, but the strange events here are all related to ghosts.

  In that case, if one were to be drawn into a paranormal event, the only way to survive would be to think of ways to utilize the rules. Thinking of this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but ask:

  "How did you and Lao Gao survive in the first two cycles? Is there any trick or rule?"

  Xiao Mo finished speaking, and everyone's attention was more focused than before. This issue is exactly what they are most concerned about.

  "I'll explain it to you once and for all. In order to survive an event with a ghost as the opponent, there are only two ways. One is to break the rules created by the ghost, and the other is to use the rules created by the ghost against it, thereby killing it. It's the same as dealing with real-life ghost events, nothing more to say."

  But there is one thing I need to emphasize, the ghosts here also have keys on their bodies, we can rob them from their bodies, or directly use the rules to get rid of them, either way, as long as they are carrying keys.

  As for how I and Lao Gao survived the first two cycles, all I can say is that we were lucky and cautious enough when facing events.

  But you should understand that no one's luck will always be good, and there will always come a time when they are in disarray and their minds are in turmoil...

  Zhang Tianyi didn't finish speaking, but almost everyone had already guessed what he was going to say next, so no one asked any further questions.

  To sum it up, these people are not rookies either, because they have all experienced at least two or more paranormal events in reality, so they know how terrifying this "new world" will be.

  Compared to actively preventing it in reality, this passive acceptance is undoubtedly more dangerous, because from the moment they come into contact with the event, they are already deeply embroiled in it, and to put it bluntly, they can be killed at any time and place.

  Everyone in the car was lost in their own thoughts, and from their expressions, it seemed like they were imagining the cruel times they would face next. At this time, Old Gao, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly encouraged everyone:

  "Don't forget, we've actually stopped several events in reality before, that was our trial run. To be honest, making you actively stop paranormal events and finding the key is just a cover-up, the real purpose is to make you adapt to the survival environment and even the survival mode that follows."

  "I and Tianyi have both suffered losses here before, so we know the importance of teamwork, which is why you're attracted to join us. After all, our ultimate goal is the Forbidden Land, a place that's still full of unknown dangers, so it's unrealistic for just one or two people to try to force their way in."

  Lao Gao's encouragement had some effect, and even Xiao Mo, who was emotionally complex, felt a little better. He nodded along with the others. Through the rearview mirror, Lao Gao saw the slightly relieved expressions on everyone's faces, and then a comforting smile appeared on his broad face:

  "Based on our past experience, the gasoline in the tank can probably last for three days, which means you have three days to rest. Nobody slept well tonight, so don't think too much and just get a good sleep."

  "What about you, a worm?"

  Lao Gao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, clearly displeased with the title, but seemingly more surprised that Li Shuai had unexpectedly shown concern for him.

  "I'm fine, just come and replace me when one of you wakes up tomorrow."

  Lao Gao smiled and said, turning his hand to gesture to the crowd, meaning that he would take care of it tonight. This time, the crowd didn't decline either, after all, they hadn't rested well in the past few days, and now they were all getting sleepy. After saying goodbye, they each found a place to sleep.

  Almost everyone has fallen asleep, and now only Lao Gao and Xiao Mo are probably still awake. Xiao Mo was originally very tired, but somehow he suddenly lost his sleepiness, and his mind is full of thoughts about the curse.

  Lao Gao also saw Xiao Mo through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but ask:

  "Why don't you take a rest and stop thinking about this curse?"

  Xiao Mo nodded indifferently and said faintly:

  "Is there anyone else here besides us?"

  "Of course, there's more than one entrance to get in here, and escapees can enter from anywhere in the world. We'll also encounter new people joining us on this journey, and if they don't have much experience, it'll be a real hassle."

  As they spoke, Xiao Mo's gaze paused, and he saw a flash of light in front of him. A bus sped by from beside their car. It was indeed as Lao Gao had said - there were others here besides them!

  ……

  When Xiao Mo and his group were shrouded in a thick, dark haze, elsewhere, a remote small town located in the depths of a desolate mountain range was also covered by a layer of deathly shadow.

  The scorching sun at noon in the summer was particularly fierce, Zhang Xiaoxi lay alone on his bed, with a comfortable expression, enjoying the coolness brought by the fan. As he blew the cool breeze and lay on the comfortable bed, he soon fell asleep.

  He was smiling with a faint sense of satisfaction on his face in his sleep, but before long, his face suddenly turned gloomy and the hairs all over his body stood up visibly.

  The fan in the room suddenly stopped and then started rotating counterclockwise, and the originally closed door also made a "creak" sound, slowly opening a gap.

  Afterwards, everything in the room returned to normal once again, but...

  Zhang Xiaoxi, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the pale white ceiling above him with a look of horror. He then suddenly sat up and began to search around the room in fear.

  "Who? Who's in my room!"

  Zhang Xiaoxi was yelling like a madman, his back was already thoroughly soaked with cold sweat. Just now, or rather when he was fast asleep, someone had quietly sneaked into the room and stood in front of his bed... staring intently at his sleeping face!!!

  "Who? Who's in my room? Come out! Get out quickly!!!"
