Chapter 184: The Ancient Village
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Cold wind blew.
In the ancient village, the bricks and tiles were all broken and peeling off. Weeds were everywhere, and it was so quiet that one could hear their own breathing.
They entered the village under the guidance of the staff. When they turned around, the staff who guided them had disappeared. The path they took was different from before too, and it was dark.
Bai Lin walked into the darkness and bumped into something. She touched it and said with interest, “An air wall? Interesting.”
As soon as Zheng You came in, she regretted it. She kept feeling that something was touching the back of her neck) but she still forced herself to act brave. She glanced at Bai Lin and said, “It’s just an air wall. We can leave as long as we solve the puzzle.”
Bai Lin looked at her with a smile and shook her head slightly, as if she was facing a child who knew nothing.
Zheng You was annoyed by this look, but Bai Lin had already taken the lead and walked forward. She did not have time to talk back, so she had to follow.
Everyone was affected by the gloomy atmosphere, but no one was willing to show their weak side on the show. So, when Bai Lin suggested that they investigate separately, the others had no choice but to agree even though they were unwilling.
However, there were only seven people in this episode. Li Xuan and Ye Xing
were a couple, Wang Can and Feng Yu were husband and wife, so Zheng You naturally stuck to Yan Ruo’s side and said confidently, “Bai Lin, I’ll go with Yan-ge. You’re agile, so you should be able to handle it alone, right?”
Without waiting for Bai Lin to speak, Yan Ruo pushed her away politely and stood beside Bai Lin.
“Bai Lin is good at fighting, but she’s quite timid. I’ll go with her.” It was rare for Yan Ruo to smile at Zheng You. “Zheng You, you’re very familiar with this type of game. Walking with us will slow you down. You search that house. Bai Lin and I will search this one.”
In just a few words, the final distribution of these three people was determined. Although Zheng You was unwilling, she could not find an excuse to refuse.
After all, she was the one who had accepted everyone’s flattery and raised their expectations. If she did not perform well, the others would be disappointed.
She cursed Wang Can and his wife in her heart. It was their fault for talking too much, which prevented her from getting closer to Yan Ruo.
Bai Lin crossed her arms and looked at Zheng You’s expression as if she was watching a show. Seeing that Yan Ruo had finished speaking and Zheng You seemed to have obeyed the arrangement, she said slowly, “It’ll be faster if the three of us split up.”
After she finished speaking, she did not care about the other two’s expressions and directly walked into one of the houses.
[Bai Lin… is this what they mean by newborn calves are not afraid of tigers? Bai Lin’s too confident. Huan Yu Technology’s simulation ability is one of the best. Previously, the things that were simulated in Traveler were things that existed in reality. If they simulated some ghosts here… Help! I’m going to die!] [Bai Lin is indeed the top boor. I feel like I’m starting to like her.]
[I’m waiting for Bai Lin to be eliminated. Abyss’ main goal is to escape, but there are also many people who were eliminated after being caught by ghosts. There have also been brainless boorish people before who were eliminated very quickly. Bai Lin is no exception.]
Many people were not optimistic about Bai Lin’s performance in Abyss. They knew that Bai Lin was good at fighting, but her strength was useless in Abyss.
Bai Lin turned on the flashlight and a white light shone in the room. She quickly glanced around and turned off the flashlight.
At the same time, the structure and decoration of the room were accurately replicated in her mind. Among the seven screens in the livestream, only Bai Lin’s screen was dark.
Under the audience’s protest, the production team urgently activated night vision for them.
They probably did not expect that someone would be so stingy and not use the flashlight at the very beginning when its battery was full.
There was not much in the room. There was a stinky smell on the bed made of mud. Next to it was a stove. The top of the stove must have not been cleaned for a long time, as there was a layer of dust as thick as half a finger.
Bai Lin knelt down and reached her hand into the stove pit. She touched it but stopped and laughed.
She looked at the camera and smiled excitedly. “I’ve got something good to show everyone.”
Under her command, the camera moved to Bai Lin. At the same time, Bai Lin turned on the flashlight.
A twisted, pale human body was curled up in the small stove. Its empty eyes stared straight at the camera, and there were worms wriggling in its open mouth..
