Moments later.
Zhou Ming had already boarded a sightseeing bus at the side and was heading to the location of the Great Kui Mountain's walking path.
As the sightseeing bus stopped.
Zhou Ming came to the starting point of the hiking trail. It looked no different from the area that Zhou Ming had visited before. At the starting point of the hiking trail, there was a paper notice.
1. Due to the scenic area, this hiking trail has been temporarily closed. Please do not cross the yellow cordon and return the way you came.
[2. If you lose your way and are unable to return the way you came, please contact the personnel on duty at (xxx-xxxx).]
3. If you are unable to contact the personnel on duty due to special reasons, or if you are unable to call for help, please wait for at least an hour. We have a fixed number of insiders who will pass by this place to provide assistance, but you need to ensure that you do not step past the yellow cordon.
4. If you don't receive any help after waiting for an hour, you can try to cross the yellow cordon. As long as you reach the finish line, there will be staff to help you.
5. Please describe any situation you encountered during the climb to the staff at the finish line so that we can make subsequent changes.
6. Don't recite the steps while climbing the mountain!
Don't Look Back!
He looked at the notice board in front of him.
Zhou Ming was a little hesitant. It was obvious that what he saw was completely different from the clues.
Zhou Ming calmly took out a pen from his pocket.
"I'm so smart ~" Zhou Ming praised himself. Then, he slowly recorded everything in front of him in a small notebook that he carried with him. In order to make it easier to sort out the relationship between the characters and the forces, Zhou Ming specially asked Xu Changqing for a pen and a notebook.
These two things were rare in the adventurers 'lifestyle that was close to the Middle Ages.
Xu Changqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Zhou Ming calmly memorizing everything in front of him.
The adventurers who didn't go to the ghost stories world and those who didn't make it to the gathering gathered here. They all wanted to see how heaven-defying this newcomer was.
Should he take that step…This was a problem.
Zhou Ming stood on the spot and pondered.
He had no way of knowing if there would be any relevant notices on the mountain after crossing the yellow police line.
However…
Just the above rules alone already had many abnormalities.
The first one.
He made sure that he did not cross the yellow line and returned the way he came.
This hint was obviously correct. However, once the tourists stepped onto the Great Kui Mountain's walking path, this rule would be useless. This meant one thing…Perhaps the moment you take the first step, you will be trapped in a ghost story.
As long as he took the first step, the mysterious existence in the mountain would notice him.
As long as they returned the way they came, they could take refuge.
but... Zhou Ming's goal was to conquer this world. As long as he didn't step on the walking path, his journey would be considered a failure.
Although he would not suffer any losses, he would probably have to live in this place for the rest of his life.
As an adventurer, there was no turning back.
In addition.
Zhou Ming also noticed the last message on the notice board.
Don't turn back!
This might be a rescue measure for tourists after they set foot on the trail, but…Why can't I turn back?
In the past, there was a consensus in the world of ghosts and monsters.
He couldn't turn back.
Although this was a legend, this superstitious saying was indeed particularly useful in the Fog World.
At night or in a place with abundant Yin Qi, please don't turn your head. Once you turn your head, something might take over your body! This was not a baseless statement. In most worlds, such supernatural phenomena existed.
So... Zhou Ming narrowed his eyes.
In other words, what would be following behind him?？？
Judging from the current situation, it was impossible to decode it, so... They had to cross the yellow cordon to find new clues.
Zhou Ming stuffed the small notebook in his hand into his pocket.
"Next is to go up the mountain and explore!”Zhou Ming took a deep breath.
He carefully observed the walking path in front of him. As the largest and most lively scenic spot in this ghost story world, there would definitely be a large number of tourists visiting it even on weekdays.
But now, there was no one behind him or in the mountains.
Most importantly, Zhou Ming had already heard the gossip of some tourists in this world before he came here.
A few special characters entered Zhou Ming's ears.
The Mountain God Temple was sealed.
This made Zhou Ming pay special attention…The Mountain God in the Mountain God Temple
Due to unknown reasons, the mountain was closed, and tourists could not read the hiking manual... This made Zhou Ming more and more interested in the truth of this ghost story.
Although he did not know why he was invited here by this world's ghost stories…However, the truth would eventually come out.
Just as Zhou Ming took his first step past the yellow warning line, in the lower right corner of Zhou Ming's vision…His Spirit Points began to jump at an extremely slow speed. A chill ran straight to his head, as if he was being watched.
Something was following him!
The cat wriggled uneasily in Zhou Ming's backpack, trying to appear beside him to protect him.
Zhou Ming patted the backpack on his back gently, and the cat finally quieted down.
Don't count the steps silently while climbing the mountain, and don't look back!
Zhou Ming remembered the contents of the notice board and walked straight up the mountain.
"Hmm? As expected! There are new clues ahead!"
After taking a few steps, Zhou Ming saw a wooden tablet not far away from him. There were some black words written on the wooden tablet in front of him.
Great Kui Mountain's Walking Path---You have exercised 100 steps.
The following contents appeared on the wooden notice board.
[1: You have entered the Great Kui Mountain's Walking Path. Due to some management reasons, the staff on duty will not accept your request. I hope you can understand!]
2. There will be a vending point at 600 steps (about 700 steps). You can receive a memorial prize there.
3. Don't look back.
There were only three rules.
This was the second time Zhou Ming had seen the rule of not turning back.
"Looks like there must be something following me from behind.”Zhou Ming rubbed his chin subconsciously.、
Zhou Ming wrote down the three pieces of information in front of him on a small notebook. Perhaps there were still many rules on it, so it was better to write them down.
After completing the work at hand, Zhou Ming did not rush to a conclusion.
Instead, he habitually began to calculate the forces he temporarily knew.
Staff-will provide some help to the guide.
Its shape is unknown, its purpose is unknown, and it will follow the attacker.
So...
Zhou Ming flipped through the notes he had written down earlier.
There was no doubt that before crossing the yellow police line, the officers on duty belonged to the 'good guys' camp. They would provide assistance to tourists.
However…
The wooden notice board in front of him suggested again.
Due to management reasons, the staff on duty will no longer provide you with any help.
From this, one could clearly understand a principle.
The staff on duty knew that there was danger in the mountains, but for some reason, they could not tell the tourists the reason.
Zhou Ming wrote in his notebook," Personnel on duty-Neutral."
As for…As for the prize…Zhou Ming didn't pay much attention to the second message. Instead, he looked at the brand new metal notice board on the other side.
You have already done 100 steps. I wish you good health and a happy fitness.
1. The forest is dangerous. Please do not leave the trail.
2. The depth of the water is dangerous. Please do not play in the water.
3. Please do not disassemble or disguise the notice added by the scenic area management. If the case is serious, it will be sent to the authorities.
4. The management has not set up any sales points along the way. If you find any sales promotion activities, please reject them and report them to the relevant personnel on duty. xxxxxxxxxxx。
There were still four notifications.
The other party's stiff tone was somewhat familiar to Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming recalled some of the contents that it had modified in his mother's clue.
" The metal notice can't be completely trusted…Moreover, there are two opposing factions here…"
This wasn't Zhou Ming's baseless deduction. It wasn't just the inspiration from the previous ghost story world.
First of all.
There was a high chance that the staff knew about this special metal notice board.
At this moment, the situation at the Great Kui Mountain had become dangerous for unknown reasons, but the staff did not inform the tourists.
They also stopped helping tourists who stepped into the yellow cordon.
The second point.
Material.
The metal signboard in front of him was obviously brand new. It was obvious that it had been inserted not long ago, while the wooden signboard was not brand new. From the degree of decay of the material, it was at least close to ten years old.
Of course, that didn't mean anything.
Therefore, Zhou Ming combined the former and the latter.
Zhou Ming had already heard some of the tourists 'words when he got on the bus earlier…Even the locals knew the reason why the mountain was sealed off. How could the staff not know?？？
Looking at how new the signboard was, Zhou Ming suspected that these metal signboards might have been set up by them.
The other party seemed to be hiding something.
So...
There were obviously some clues in the forest and the pond.
Of course, the most important point was…A self-contradictory rule.
One party said that there was a sales point, but the other party denied the existence of the sales point and wanted to destroy it. Moreover…Zhou Ming noticed that the number of the person on duty had changed.
The landline turned into a mobile phone.
There was a problem…
