"Heh, there's a convenience store in front, it looks pretty run-down," Fatso said, "Brothers, let's go down and buy something, get some beer and drinks. The location marked on the map is called Hilton Resort. Although we're not here for a vacation, let's get what we need there."
"Damn you, Fatso, do you really think we're going on vacation? Let's go see if there's anything we need in the convenience store. I just found a wallet here. There's no identification in the wallet, but there's some US dollars. It's enough to buy something. "
"Alright."
Fatso stopped the car beside the convenience store and got out.
Yigu got out as well. Seeing that Su Bai was still sitting in the car, he asked in confusion:
"What's wrong?"
"I'll be in charge of monitoring the situation outside."
"The plot has just begun, what's going on?" Yigu was confused, but he didn't probe further. He just nodded, "Alright, you stay here and watch the car. Fatso and I will go in to buy something."
Yigu and Fatso walked into the convenience store. Su Bai lowered his head slightly. He was thinking about what he should do. Should he follow the previous pattern, or should he directly start the first main mission? At the moment, Su Bai didn't have many clues. Su Bai didn't know the true identity of the black-haired girl. Sophia was still with her companions, so she probably hadn't officially started the mission yet.
However, there was actually another important reason why Su Bai continued to stay in the car and didn't choose to go into the convenience store to buy something like last time.
That was the poster!
Su Bai remembered that the phone call between Fatso and Yigu was like this. Fatso asked Yigu why there was a poster at the back of the car, and Yigu replied that it was too unlucky, so he tore it up.
This time, before getting in the car, Su Bai personally went to the back of the car to confirm that there was no poster.
That meant that when the three of them went to the convenience store last time, someone secretly came over and stuck a "Death is Coming" poster.
Su Bai didn't know if the person had been watching them in the dark. He also didn't know if the person would stop putting up posters after realizing that they didn't go into the convenience store. However, Su Bai didn't have any other clues on hand. He could only rely on other clues to get the clues he wanted.
After all, since the first main mission required them to find the source of the river, then most of the things and clues that affected the listeners in this story world should be related to the source.
He lowered his head and didn't make a sound. However, Su Bai's consciousness was still on high alert.
Suddenly, there was a very soft "Sha" sound.
Immediately, Su Bai opened the car door and ran to the back.
At this moment, a flying knife flew directly at Su Bai in an arc.
Su Bai immediately lowered his head. The flying knife swept past Su Bai's head and pierced the ground.
At this time, a figure immediately jumped out of the car and ran in another direction.
Su Bai chased after it without hesitation. The figure was not very clear. It should have used something to hide the figure, making it a little blurry from the back. Su Bai couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman. Fortunately, the person's speed was not very fast. Su Bai slowly shortened the distance between him and the person during the chase.
The two of them quickly ran into the forest. Finally, the person seemed to feel that it was impossible to escape Su Bai's pursuit. So, he turned around and two cold glints flashed in his hands. He must have pulled out two daggers and turned toward Su Bai.
Until now, Su Bai had not confirmed whether the person was a listener or a native of the forest. However, when the person approached, Su Bai finally understood who he had met. He snorted and his body began to become thin. His entire body almost completely turned into a mummy. The speed of this change was very fast. It was almost completed in the blink of an eye.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
The two daggers cut on both of Su Bai's arms, making the sound of weapons colliding. Because the outer layer of Su Bai's skin was condensed with a layer of ice, the person's dagger did not cut through Su Bai's skin at all.
At this time, Su Bai's wrists quickly turned and clasped the person's dagger. Then, he pushed hard with both arms. The person obviously did not dare to directly touch Su Bai's cold hands. He directly let go of his hands, gave up his weapon, and turned to take a step back.
Su Bai did not continue to chase, and the person also did not choose to run away.
"Haha, do you know who I am?" A crisp female voice sounded. Then, the person's originally blurry figure finally became clear. It was the long-haired girl, the girl who crossed the river first.
"I can't see your body, but I still remember the fragrance your body emitted."
The girl's pretty face blushed. She spat at Su Bai and then said, "I just want to find you. At the beginning of the story, because I was still lacking helpers, Sophia had already helped me last time. But in the end, there was a problem and she still failed. So this time, I want to find you first, and then find Sophia."
"You specifically came to find me?" Su Bai asked.
"Oh, I know what you are guessing. When I first came here, I encountered this thing."
A stone sculpture appeared in the girl's hand. The stone sculpture was painted with a very ugly image of a demon. Then, in the demon's hand was a roll of posters. The girl laughed twice and threw the stone sculpture and the poster directly to Su Bai.
Su Bai caught it. The demon was made of ordinary stone sculpture. It should have been very old, but he could still feel the residual energy fluctuations on the stone sculpture. Then, Su Bai opened the poster in the demon's hand. Indeed, it was the movie poster of "Final Destination".
"Actually, from the very beginning, there was a force that was trying to stop us from completing the mission. Or rather, there was a force that was wrestling with the power of the 'Terror Broadcast'. However, the other party was trying to protect themselves, and the 'Terror Broadcast' was probably trying to make the so-called story more interesting and interesting, so it went with the flow. After all, in the story, I don't think there is an energy level that can resist the terrorist broadcast. "
Su Bai threw the stone sculpture on the ground and tore the poster into pieces.
Then, he said, "Should I go with you now?"
"We only have the time before dawn the next day. So, time is of the essence."
"I have two companions. If I leave just like this, they will notice that something is wrong."
"Then what's the problem?"
"I think there will be a problem."
"Sticking to the old ways, what a rigid person. Do you know that the next time, it is very likely that someone else will come to that river and cross it, squeezing out your spot?"
"And then?"
"And then, the next time you think that you are the start of this time, I won't come looking for you, because my target has changed. I have already cooperated with others several times, while you are already in the past, but you don't know at all. You still think that you have really discovered something, and you think that the next time, the next time, and the next time after that, it will still be this time. You are complacent, thinking that you are the first few to eat crabs, but in fact, you have long fallen behind."
Su Bai smiled and did not answer. He just silently turned around and left.
The girl stood on the spot and looked at Su Bai's back. She pouted and sulked.
…
"Ah Bai, you really know how to be lazy." Fatso placed the things in the trunk and got into the car. "Shouldn't it be people like me who are the most suitable to be lazy?"
"Alright, let's hurry," Yigu said.
Fatso nodded and started the car, continuing to follow the map.
Su Bai sat quietly in his seat, smoking and shaking the ash out of the window from time to time. Neither the fatty nor Yi Gu told him about the strange things they had encountered in the convenience store, such as the dozen or so Western young men and women he had seen and the strange black boss.
Su Bai understood that this was a way for them to exclude him from their little group. The most basic thing was that they had a tacit agreement to not share information.
When they arrived at the Hilton Holiday House, Fatso and Yigu complained that this broken down wooden house really did not match its name. Su Bai, on the other hand, silently moved his things into the house and then pretended to be tidying up his things. In reality, last time, Fatso and Yigu had entered the small wooden house one after the other, while Su Bai had gone to the river. Su Bai was sure that he must have missed something. Otherwise, Yigu and Fatso would not have purposely sent him away. The moment the plot of the horror broadcast changed, the small wooden house had exploded and collapsed. It was definitely not a coincidence.
After Fatso and Yigu also entered the house, Su Bai walked to a corner of the living room. In his hand, he silently held a glass lens and placed it on the windowsill. He pretended to look at the scenery outside, but in reality, he was constantly paying attention to Fatso and Yigu.
As expected, after Fatso came in, his face first revealed a look of surprise. Clearly, he had discovered something. Right after that, he glanced at Su Bai. Seeing that Su Bai was very far away from them, he walked to Yigu's side and pretended to take a beer. He bent down and said a few words in Yigu's ear.
Yigu's eyes instantly lit up. He immediately stood up and glanced at Su Bai's side. Then, he looked at the house and nodded.
"It's going to get dark," Su Bai, who had been leaning against the window to look at the scenery, said.
