1TWITF[C Chapter 90

Chapter 90

In the abandoned amusement park, scattered lights illuminated the area, brought by them as tools for lighting.

The world spun, consciousness shifted.

When everyone regained their senses, they found themselves on a large bus. The tour guide, holding a small loudspeaker, stood near the door, beaming.

Outside the window, dense forests rushed past, perhaps a little too dense. In the winter, it inspired a sense of cold.

As she spoke, the driver hit the brakes, stopping in front of a long tunnel entrance.

The entrance to Spirit Medium Town had arrived.

However, her smile was obviously unnatural. Upon closer inspection, there was no joy in her eyes, only the corners of her mouth were stretched almost to her ears, making people uncomfortable.

Yu Huaiyao followed beside Lin Chu.

He had many questions, but after personally experiencing this miraculous scene, he finally understood – Yu Huan must have experienced these things too, right?

That’s why he died so bizarrely.

Looking at it that way, Lin Chu’s suspicion actually decreased.

The others didn’t care. There were too many people this time, and everyone was picking people who looked like they could cooperate to huddle together for warmth. Lin Chu and Yu Huaiyao were both “newbies,” and the experienced ones were unwilling to get close. There were quite a few pairs like them.

Lin Chu was very impatient with Yu Huaiyao, especially after he came over. Several task executors who also looked like newbies and were panicking followed, including a girl in a school uniform who looked like she was still in high school.

Yu Huaiyao apologized to her in a low voice, but due to the many people around, he didn’t say anything and quietly walked away.

“Follow me.” The tour guide didn’t care that no one was talking to her, and simply waved her little flag, walking at the front.

His teammate, Tan Xu, gazed at his back and nodded.

They had originally planned to quietly discuss things, but now it seemed they would have to wait.

They wanted to test if their guess was correct.

Inside the tunnel, it was long and silent. Nothing happened.

Lin Chu also stepped into the darkness.

What was it?

The tunnel was very long, very long. They walked for a very long time.

So long that they almost forgot they were doing a task, almost lost themselves, before the tour guide’s cheerful voice came from ahead, “Everyone, Spirit Medium Town is here! I hope everyone has a pleasant time in the town.”

The task executors only felt this was a threat.

Too… beautiful.

The houses, the roads, everything was clean and tidy, making them almost think they were really here for tourism.

Even the sky was as clean as if it had been washed.

Seeing a tour guide NPC unhesitatingly pull out a large bunch of keys from her bag, the task executors felt a bit strange, such as themselves working their butts off for most of their lives and still not being able to afford a house, while an NPC…

Seeing the tour guide’s attitude was still okay, Ximen Yuan asked, “Excuse me, tour guide, has there been any missing persons cases in the town? We’ve heard of…”

The tour guide’s face changed drastically!

Just then, a resident passed by him and heard this, and his expression immediately turned ugly as well.

The task executors standing further away discussed in low voices. Lin Chu looked around, not speaking up.

Strange, she clearly heard someone speaking in the tunnel, why wasn’t anyone missing now? Could it be that speaking in the tunnel didn’t constitute a death condition?

What Lin Chu didn’t notice was that several dark clouds drifted in the sky, covering the sunlight tightly, making it impossible to see the shadows on the ground.

Otherwise, they would have discovered that some people’s shadows were already…

At this moment, they were walking on the way to their residences.

Lin Chu was looking at those murals the whole way. Thanks to her previous experience going to tombs, she felt there was a problem whenever she saw murals, and subconsciously wanted to translate them.

Who was that person? Could they also live in the town?

Lu Yanli, after getting rid of the rotting corpse belonging to himself, ran wildly. Behind him, the streetlights that were rapidly extinguished came all the way to the rotting corpse, and then stopped for a very long time.

So long that Lu Yanli had already fled that city.

Holding the Pisces Jade Pendant in front of him, Lu Yanli carefully examined it.

It was said that the Pisces Jade Pendant didn’t directly replicate, but brought future things to the present. So, when was that rotting corpse produced?

That was also him, what had he experienced to die so miserably?

The clothes on the rotting corpse had turned into a blood-stained robe. Lu Yanli naturally didn’t know which period’s self had created this replica.

As for why it came looking for him… Connecting it with his previous experience going to the tombs, Lu Yanli felt that this was perhaps because of the attraction between the “replica” and the original.

He thought for a very long time, and finally, wrapped one of the jade pendants well and moved it away.

The other jade pendant was placed by him in an open space, and then he stood aside.

After a long time, the air faintly twisted.

A figure slowly emerged.

This person… was exactly the same as him.

No, this was himself.

Lu Yanli gazed at himself.

He knew all his thoughts, so he could communicate with this “person” very smoothly, but he also knew too well what things he couldn’t accept, therefore, both sides hoped the other would act as bait and leave with the jade pendant.

Suddenly being targeted must be because he had discovered something. Perhaps the past him had brushed shoulders with the truth, or perhaps another him from a different space-time had learned the truth. In short, he needed to carefully review everything.

But no matter which Lu Yanli, neither was willing to hand over the initiative to the other.

The Lu Yanli who had replicated the other first with the jade pendant proposed, “It’s not a solution to continue like this. Since neither of us is willing, how about we replicate a third person and subdue him the moment he’s replicated?”

That person agreed.

The two stood together, watching the third identical figure being created.

No one would have a good look on their face knowing their mission was to die.

Lu Yanli glanced out the window.

It was dark.

The time should be nine in the morning.

Forget it, since he had to buy time for “himself”…

Thinking this way, Lu Yanli opened the door and walked out, stepping into that darkness.

No one could say for sure what was in the darkness. In short, he walked in it for a long time, unable to distinguish between day and night, unable to distinguish between life and death.

Until he lost consciousness and became a walking corpse, he was still walking.

He knew he had to find someone.

Who to find?

Lu Yanli, whose clothes had turned into a blood-stained robe, thought muddledly.

Just then, the darkness retreated from his side like a tide, and he returned to the sunlight.

He raised his head and looked into the distance.

Two directions were particularly attractive to him.

What was in those two directions? He didn’t know. After hesitating for a while, he walked towards one of them.

*

Just arrived at their residences, the sky suddenly turned dark. In just an instant, even though it was two or three in the afternoon, the sky was abnormally dark, as if it were late at night.

The people of the town were used to it, quickly turning on the lights, and the town lit up with scattered lights.

The tour guide also had no intention of explaining, turned on the lights, and let them allocate the rooms themselves. After saying that, she turned around and left.

“Too strange, this town.”

“As you all know, this town is obviously abnormal. Excluding the sudden darkness and other factors, the people in the town are very sensitive to the word ‘missing’.”

“But because of this, it may be difficult for us to know the specific missing person’s identity.”

If so, it would be very difficult to complete one of the tasks, finding the missing “that person.”

Who exactly was missing?

“I have another question. It’s obvious that there’s only one missing person, and another task, killing Lu Yanli, also only involves one person. But…” The person who raised this question looked around, “There are fifty of us in total, how will we know when it’s completed?”

“Should it be that as long as one person completes it, everyone will default to passing the level?”

“What I’m more curious about is Lu Yanli’s identity. I secretly asked the tour guide before, and she said she didn’t know him.”

“Let’s go to the town tomorrow and ask the other residents.”
