Chapter 442

Su Bai's eyes gradually narrowed. After Sophia gave him a hint, he did not choose to leave in panic after the woman died. Instead, he firmed up his pace and swam directly toward the dark hole with a little momentum of indomitable will.

It could be said that Su Bai was in a daze. It could also be said that Su Bai's extreme nature had been released to a large extent in his zombie state. However, at the very least, this was indeed what Su Bai truly wanted to do.

There were a lot of entanglements, a lot of deception, and a lot of secrets, including the scene just now. There were many mysteries everywhere, and they rose and fell one after another.

Su Bai did not choose to slowly analyze and search for everything. This was because the amount of work required was too great. It was so great that Su Bai himself felt a little hopeless. In this story world, Su Bai could only rely on himself. Hence, to a certain extent, he could act recklessly without any qualms. The greatest price he had to pay was death. However, even if he followed the prescribed order and was cautious, no matter how cautious he was, it was not guaranteed that he would survive. No matter what he did, the chances of dying were still too high. After all, this was a group mission for 20 people, and it had always been known for the high number of deaths.

Previously, Su Bai had told Fatso and Yigu, "I don't believe that if we just charge forward when we encounter danger, we will all die in the end."

That was what Su Bai said, and that was what he did. If he could not break through the fog with his current strength, then he would just charge into the fog.

The purple bell had been flying towards Su Bai, but Su Bai had only silently reached out to hold it in his hand.

Su Bai could not understand Sophia's hint before she died. She must have conveyed a lot of information. However, the most direct and straightforward method was to take a look for himself. Even if it was dangerous, in the story world, if one was not afraid of danger, they would not be able to obtain any useful information, much less complete the mission.

However, just as Su Bai's body stepped into the dark hole, a terrifying countercurrent swept towards him. This countercurrent came very unreasonably and swept Su Bai back. Sophia's corpse also retreated with him.

This meant that this time, someone had already entered, and it was over.

"Pfft!"

With no other choice, Su Bai could only choose to quickly dive upwards. This was because the undercurrent that spewed out of the dark hole was becoming more and more turbulent, as if it was going to stir up the entire river's flow and speed.

After emerging from the water, Su Bai grabbed something on the shore. When Su Bai realized what he had grabbed, he silently lowered his head and smiled. It was actually the wooden pier beside the small wooden house.

A feeling of being set up surged in Su Bai's heart. This meant that there was an invisible force controlling everything. This meant that this force would try its best not to deviate from the main storyline of the story. In other words, it meant that all the people in the story had to move within the scope of the main storyline, and could not stray away from the 'mainstream'.

However, this feeling made Su Bai very uncomfortable. It was as if someone was strangling him while walking. Even if he wanted to struggle and survive, he had to continue walking according to the route that someone else had drawn for him.

The purple bell was wrapped around Su Bai's wrist. He did not know how to use it. Although he knew that Sophia had given this to him and revealed a pleading expression at the end, Su Bai did not want to think or waste his brain. Reality had already proven that in the world of the story, once there was a conflict of interest, many other things would become insignificant. Fatso and Yigu were the best examples. He did not even know if Sophia's message to him was really to pass on some information or just to mislead him.

However, since he was already here, he would take things as they came. Su Bai went ashore and walked towards the small wooden hut, dripping wet.

The door of the small wooden hut was tightly shut, and it was locked from the inside. Su Bai stood at the door, and there was no movement inside. Then, Su Bai simply lifted his leg to kick the door, and the door was directly kicked open by Su Bai.

There was no one in the living room. The fire had been completely extinguished, and there was a pitch-black hole in the room.

Su Bai took a can of beer, opened it, and drank a mouthful. Then, he bent down, carried the can of beer, and walked into the tunnel in the wall of the furnace.

The tunnel was long and winding, but the general route was still sketched out in Su Bai's mind. It should be going downwards, deeper and deeper.

When he walked out of the tunnel, Su Bai saw that the place was actually brightly lit. These lights were not everlasting lamps, and it looked like they had not been burning for too long. It should be because the opening of the tunnel had caused the air outside to flow in and ignite these lights.

In front of him, there was a space similar to a main hall, but the furnishings inside were very simple. There was only a statue of a god, and this statue did not look like a so-called god. It was more like an evil sorcerer, and the sorcerer's hands were each holding a magic wand.

At this moment, Fatso and Yigu were each placing their hands on the magic wands in front of them. The two of them were clearly taking something out.

Su Bai was not in a hurry to close in quickly, nor did he take the initiative to stand out and shout "Hi" in greeting. He only stood silently at the transition point between the tunnel and the main hall, hiding his presence.

Su Bai knew what was going to happen next, so he chose this position. It should be a more secure position in this underground building. Even if there was a very serious collapse, his position should not be too affected.

The voices of Yigu and Fatso's conversation came from inside, and Su Bai's name appeared in the conversation. Obviously, the two of them were very satisfied with the decision not to ask Su Bai to come down with them. There were only two magic wands here, and there were three people. How were they going to divide them?

At this moment, the sound of the horror broadcast rang in everyone's mind, announcing … the prelude to the horror had just begun!

Then, in the next moment, the sorcerer's statue directly turned into dust and scattered. The entire underground building had completely collapsed at this moment.

Su Bai raised his head, and as he watched the changes in the structure above him, he continuously leaned against the wall and adjusted his position. At this moment, Su Bai even wanted to light a cigarette, but his clothes were already drenched, and the cigarette in his pocket was naturally also wet.

Next time, if there was a chance next time, he would first leave the cigarette in the living room and not take it away.

Su Bai himself felt that this would not be the last time. After all, he was still a long way from finding the source of the river.

Finally, the collapse ended. The house above had collapsed, and the bottom was also a mess. However, moonlight could be seen through most of the cracks in the rocks. Obviously, after the collapse, the underground building was basically exposed to the outside.

Su Bai pushed away a rock slab above his head, then climbed out from below.

According to the direction of his memory, he began to walk towards the original location of the statue.

At this time, if there were no accidents, a group of duplicates was already in action. They had begun to enter the plot and were preparing to kill and replace. Su Bai did not know the meaning of this arrangement, because the people killed by the duplicates seemed to be themselves after the next reset, and not the so-called duplicates.

However, the horror broadcast was not an unnecessary move. It should have its own deeper meaning, but Su Bai was not able to see through it yet.

"Plop …"

Fatso lifted a rock that was pressing on him, but his legs were also crushed and almost deformed. Although Fatso's kung fu was good, he was a Taoist priest after all. In the face of such a situation, his ability seemed to be a little useless.

Seeing Su Bai coming over, Fatso's face showed a look of surprise. He immediately reached down with one hand, took out a magic wand, and handed it to Su Bai.

"Come, Ah Bai, take this. I just got it, but it's actually under here. Give me a hand and pull me out."

He was adaptable and flexible. In terms of being a person and doing things, Fatty had almost reached a level where not a single drop of water could leak out.

Su Bai walked over with a smile and took the magic wand from Fatso. A hint of distress flashed in Fatso's eyes.

Su Bai squatted down and began to help Fatso push away the stone that was pressing on his legs.

At this time, behind Su Bai, a stone suddenly trembled and then floated up. Then, it stabbed directly at the back of Su Bai's head.

"Bang!"

Su Bai seemed to have expected it. He turned around and grabbed the stone with one hand. His palm was dripping with blood, but the smile on Su Bai's face did not change.

Fatso's lips twitched, and then he looked in the other direction with some complaints. Why did you have to do this? Did you have to cut off all ties with him?

Moreover, you attacked, but you didn't kill him!

Su Bai was not in a hurry to help Fatso push the stone away. Instead, he walked to the other side and used his magic wand to push away some rubble. Below, Yigu's face was revealed. Yigu's entire body was almost pressed down. It was a very big stone. Under the premise of being seriously injured, Yigu could not save himself. When Su Bai came, Yigu was only a little nervous. However, when he realized that Su Bai very calmly took the magic wand from Fatso, a hint of resentment appeared on Yigu's face.

You took Fatso's magic wand just like that.

Then, what about mine?

You definitely want to take it, right? Then I'll let you take it!

However, now, Su Bai stood beside Yigu's face, and Yigu's face was filled with surprise.

"You scared me. Ah Bai, it's you. I thought something was approaching. I'm sorry. Quickly help me and Fatso out. It's too uncomfortable to be pressed down."

"Okay."

Su Bai said.

Then …

Su Bai raised his magic wand and waved it down.

"Bang!"

Yigu's head was smashed into pieces by Su Bai. A pool of blood and brain matter even splashed onto Fatso's body. Fatso's lips twitched.

He could not believe it.
