Thinking of this, Zhou Ming frowned again…He had not forgotten the contents of the diary. K had seen the Great Kui Mountain Hotel on the hiking trail. Now that it was mentioned, it seemed to be contradictory.
but... Zhou Ming knew one thing…Regardless of whether it was the so-called end of the Great Kui Mountain…The location of the mountain god temple or the hotel of Great Kui Mountain would not change.
The only thing that would change was people's perception.
As people's perception changed, it could make tourists, staff, and villagers feel…The perception of time would become chaotic, changing the so-called space and time.
If it was in a state where one's cognition was chaotic.
The thousand steps you took might only be a hundred steps under normal circumstances.
If he triggered some of the actions on the notice board, it would increase the extent of his corruption by the mountain ghost in the inner world, and he would be taken advantage of by the former.
For example…He silently recited the steps…It would cause the raiders to fall into chaos.
"Alright... Then I want to ask... What time did the staff of the Great Kui Mountain Hotel come to pick up their meals every day?”
Zhou Ming pondered for a moment before asking.
With Zhou Ming's own pace, he would definitely not be able to enter the Great Kui Mountain Hotel. With the blessing of the mountain god, and with his current knowledge, it was too difficult and dangerous to let his knowledge reach the depths of the inner world.
Therefore, Zhou Ming decided to follow behind the staff in the white uniform and enter the Great Kui Mountain Hotel.
"Around one in the afternoon…"
"The members of the Mountain Patrol Team will be around 12:30. There are some intervals between them.”
Facing the stranger, Zhou Ming, the villager uncle actually told Zhou Ming everything he knew.
The reason was actually very mysterious.
The villagers sensed the aura of the Mountain God Temple from Zhou Ming.
In other words.
Zhou Ming was a person who had stepped onto the Great Kui Mountain's mountain climbing path and reached the top of the mountain…Only people with extraordinary willpower could reach the top within 72 hours. Zhou Ming…Perhaps he would be the one to end all of this.
"That's right, you'd better be careful of some people in the village…We can't have any form of communication with those people. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious. You'll understand when you see them.”
As he spoke, the villager took out a lunch from the kitchen.
"Thank you!"
Zhou Ming packed the lunch and put it in his backpack.
Zhou Ming did not expect to stay in this foggy world for so long, so he only brought three days 'worth of food…Now, the time was approaching, so this lunch would be a very important strategic food for Zhou Ming.
"Oh! That's right! Our logistics team has a more important task every day.”
This made Zhou Ming, who had just planned to search outside the village, retract his leg.
"Our logistics team needs to ensure that there is sufficient water in the village. Our water source is the Longyin Pond not far from the hiking trail!”
"Good! Thank you!"
Zhou Ming obtained very little information from the logistics staff. The only useful information was probably the staff of the Great Kui Mountain Hotel.
However…Zhou Ming was a little puzzled.
Who was this staff member? What kind of role did he play in this large world?
Why would the other party come every day to take away the food that the villagers regarded as taboo?
As Zhou Ming and the villager uncle discussed and pondered, the time passed.
The members of the Mountain Patrol Group had finally returned…When Zhou Ming walked out of the wooden house, the villagers were very surprised.
"It's you!"
A villager exclaimed.
Zhou Ming looked over in surprise. He was surprised that someone would recognize him in this place?
When Zhou Ming looked over, a leader of the Mountain Patrol Team walked out. When he saw this person, Zhou Ming was also stunned.
It was a man with short, neat hair. He wore a straw hat and was dressed in cotton clothes. Zhou Ming had an impression of this person!
"You are…At that time, on the mountain path…"
When that person saw Zhou Ming answer his question, he clearly did not react for a moment…"Hahaha! That's right, it was me! Get to know each other! I didn't expect you to successfully reach the top! You are the first person to reach the summit in 72 hours since you sealed the mountain!”
The villagers felt the aura of the Mountain God Temple on Zhou Ming's body and were a little surprised.
That was because…Ever since he joined the Mountain Patrol Team, according to the information he had obtained, almost all the climbers and tourists had gotten lost in that hotel.
"Thank you! Now, let me reintroduce myself. I'm a member of the special operations team. As for my purpose, I think you can guess it, right?”
After the members of the mountain patrol team learned of Zhou Ming's identity…He began to tell Zhou Ming about the clues he knew.
"Our basic mission is to patrol the first half of the Great Kui Mountain's mountain climbing path.”Villager A said.
Zhou Ming couldn't help but ask. "Can I ask, the first half... Probably?"
"Within 2000 steps.”
Moments later.
Zhou Ming recorded all the useful information in his notebook.
The main mission of the Mountain Patrol Team was to patrol the area within 2000 steps of the Great Kui Mountain. Moreover, everyone had to drink a mouthful of Longyin Tan's water before the mountain patrol mission. Otherwise, they would be banned from this mission.
The Mountain Patrol Team still had to remember one thing when patrolling.
The mountain patrol could only be carried out along the edge of the hiking trail. If they encountered special circumstances, they had to cross the hiking trail at the bottom.
In the Great Kui Village's agreement.
If a member of the Mountain Patrol Team accidentally entered the hiking trail, there were two things to remember.
1. Don't look back.
2. You must firmly believe that you can reach the end of the mountain, the Mountain God Temple.
When the Mountain Patrol Team was patrolling, they would also encounter the gift storage area 700 steps down the mountain. Occasionally, they would encounter the staff there. Although the Mountain Patrol Team was not a staff member or a tourist, they could still receive gifts.
However, the gifts could only be brought back to the village canteen.
"Tell me the truth! When we were climbing the mountain path previously, we were really shocked…" the villager said. "In the villagers 'handbook, it was mentioned that we can't communicate too much with you. We need to be careful of the people on the mountain path.”
"At that time, we could only tell you the correct direction to the final destination. Other than that, we could not do anything else.”
So…This was the truth of the villagers on the hiking path.
This explained why the villagers were so flustered when facing Zhou Ming.
"In that case…All the doubts will be connected!" The outsiders who were following Zhou Ming's perspective to explore the truth were all enlightened.
"F * ck! The complexity of this large-scale foggy world was truly an eye-opener!”An adventurer who had just arrived said with some lingering fear.
"This is nothing! You're late! The Great Kui Mountain was considered relatively normal! There were many more truly terrifying foggy worlds! The real big shots in our region and the adventurers at the forefront are not here now. The world they are conquering is truly terrifying. It's a world where you can lose your life at any time!”
"Otherwise, do you think that there are only so many veterans in our guild?”
As he spoke, the veteran adventurer pointed at the White Dragon and the others in front of him.
Then, the words revealed by the members of the Mountain Patrol Group resolved the doubts of all the adventurers.
The villager sighed, and there was a hint of fear between his brows.
"In the end…People like you who go up the mountain can also get better. What was truly terrifying were those who came down the mountain! Once we meet those people, we can only find a place to hide.”
Zhou Ming knew…The person who came down the mountain…He could no longer be called a human.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming could not help but feel a chill in the depths of his heart.
Now he finally understood why there was a 72-hour limit in the handbook for on-duty personnel.
Combined with the truth he had obtained…Then the truth about this part could be restored.
Those who reached the summit and reached the Mountain God Temple within 72 hours would be brought outside the Mountain God Temple by the personnel on duty to ask about their encounter. They would also receive their help and be baptized by the Mountain God Temple, allowing them to leave the Great Kui Mountain safely.
72. The tourists who reached the top of the Great Kui Mountain would be noticed and marked by all the staff on duty.
They also needed to seal off the scenic area and evacuate the tourists.
That was because the consciousness of the visitors who had exceeded the time limit was already chaotic. Under the influence of its rules, the mountain ghost had already finished corrupting them. Therefore, they would complete the transformation of their form and faction in an extremely short period of time and become the new mountain ghost.
To be able to reach that area while his consciousness was in chaos meant that…This was also a person with a firm will, so they had to be prepared for battle outside the scenic area and kill him at any time.
The Mountain God was already asleep, but every step he took could wake him up.
The meaning of this rule was obvious.
Once the tourists who had turned into mountain ghosts went berserk in the Mountain God Temple, they would wake up the Mountain God. The Mountain God had fallen into a deep sleep for unknown reasons, which meant that the Mountain God's condition was not good.
If the mountain god woke up, he would definitely deal with the tourists who had turned into mountain ghosts. Then... The power that he had accumulated in his slumber was consumed for no reason.
If the Mountain God fell into a weakened state again…Then... Perhaps the next move of the strange side of this foggy world was about to begin!
This also meant that it corresponded to the golden notification that Zhou Ming had seen previously.
It was a hint about the mountain ghost.
He attacked when the Mountain God was at his weakest!
