Chapter 1117 The Red Forbidden Land
In front of the mountain gate, there is a hidden valley on the other side of Li Guanqi and the other six people.
Xue Tingtao was huddled in the innermost part of the valley. His left hand was surrounded by straw and his right hand was drawing the ground as a prison. His face was pale.
This pale color represents fear, but the object of fear is not the pressure of this store manager's job.
Maybe it was the hint of the last mission to become an immortal, or maybe it was the toughness of the store manager's mission, which caused his once-erased memory to show signs of slackening.
In his mind, some images of the fifth store manager mission emerged out of thin air.
For example, he was trapped alone in a dark room on a certain floor, and a deep male voice guided him through the communicator next to his ear;
Another example: when he was half-conscious, there was a vague and tall figure standing in front of him, having some kind of negotiation with Ji Li.
……
Whether it was fragments of memory or false hallucinations, Xue Tingtao was filled with layers of psychological fear.
The feeling of being lost resurfaced, and this time it was deep-rooted. He couldn't remember who the vague figure was, but he couldn't get rid of it.
After all, Xue Tingtao was no ordinary clerk. He immediately thought of a possibility - his memory had been erased.
And this memory is about someone very, very important to him.
Similarly, the appearance of this person made him look at his sixth store manager task from a new perspective.
Based on Xue Tingtao's temperament, "giving up" is obviously the most reasonable decision.
Give up the sixth store manager mission and give up the fourth puzzle piece. Anyway, neither he nor Wei Guang has a vagina, nor have they died, so there is no reason to wade into this muddy water.
However, "that person" appeared and changed part of Xue Tingtao's temperament.
Xue Tingtao is a very smart person. He was able to capture why the memory of "that person" suddenly became clear, precisely because of the store manager task.
In other words, once he can get a piece of the puzzle, the lost memory can be retrieved.
There is only one question in Xue Tingtao's mind——
That person became a thorn and pierced his heart. It hurt so much that he really wanted to pull it out and see what the thorn would look like.
But the cost of pulling out the thorn is risking your life. Is it worth it?
Wei Guang put his hands into the pockets of his jacket. The cool breeze in the mountain blew his eyes. His back was to Xue Tingtao, but he was also waiting for Xue Tingtao.
He is a very pure person - seeking to survive.
As a newcomer, the store manager task is an opportunity, an opportunity to get the real top sin items.
But this matter cannot be left alone. If Xue Tingtao doesn't go, he won't be able to go either.
So, Wei Guang became the one waiting to be chosen. It was very simple.
……
The screen world has a long and narrow mountain crevice as the entrance, and after entering it, there is a plain.
The dark sky is its background, the gloomy earth is its foil, and wherever the human eye can see, there is a gray mist.
In this world, without a map, it would be like a blind man walking aimlessly.
The forbidden areas marked on the map are placed under your feet, and you will have a sense of intelligence like navigation. It can clearly identify the main roads, branch roads and branch lines.
Generally speaking, except for the 5 moving red forbidden lands, the remaining 27 forbidden lands are fixed positions and will not change.
On the way forward, the map navigation will intelligently plan the route for the store managers to decide whether to face the forbidden area directly or avoid it.
For other store managers, planning a suitable exploration route is where it all starts.
But for Li Yi, this map, this navigation, and this mission are meaningless.
Facing the gray fog that shrouded his eyes, he walked forward with a calm expression and steady steps.
It was as if he was not here to perform his duties as a store manager at all, but a tourist wandering into an unknown world.
Only the black crow on his shoulder stepped on his shoulder with its slender claws, looking around from time to time, sometimes with a scary red light in its eyes.
However, when you carefully study Li Yi's route, you will find that he was not wandering aimlessly.
He didn't look at the map, but he had a route in his mind.
In the process of moving forward, he took the initiative to avoid some forbidden areas, entered them when he couldn't avoid them, but quickly escaped soon after.
This shows that Li Yi is very familiar with this line, and even knows the way out of certain forbidden areas in advance. And moving forward at this speed means that he has a very clear destination.
Li Yi is the person who has reached the fourth level the most, and more than half of the sinful objects on his body come from here.
So it is not difficult to guess that Li Yi is not here to perform a mission today. He is going to "rest" in a specific and well-known forbidden place.
Li Yi gave up again.
With his personal strength, if he snatched the puzzle, he would have a high probability of success, but he gave up again.
No one knows what he saw in the nightmare at Huangming Temple, but in short, Li Yi became extremely negative after his fifth store manager mission.
Maybe, this is his hopeless calm, or maybe, this is his silent struggle——
"I will make things the way I want them to be."
Li Yi, the manager of the first branch, gave up at the beginning.
Xu Nan, the deputy store manager of the first branch, left Li Yi and disappeared without a trace.
……
In the Ninth Branch, Gu Xingjian had no smile on his face for the only time.
The sixth store manager mission was a big one for him, and he became extremely serious during the self-selection stage.
Especially after entering the mission, his actions were no longer as relaxed as before. He kept his head forward without saying a word, and seemed to have a certain purpose in his hurried steps.
Ever since Li and Gu each got a piece of the puzzle, their minds have changed.
Li Yi gave up this time because of his negativity.
Gu Xingjian set his goals on other things.
This time, his target is also very single--little Qianduye's Eye of Disaster.
These eyes were very important to Gu Xingjian and had deep meaning, so they were bound to get them.
Gu Xingjian's goal was clear, but he suffered a lot from Huang Banxian who was following behind him.
He has never been able to figure out the other party's intentions, and he was forced to participate, which made him feel even more uneasy.
Especially after entering the mission, Gu Xingjian buried his head forward and said nothing to him, which further deepened this idea.
But Huang Banxian faintly discerned part of the content through Gu Xingjian's route——
Gu Xingjian seemed to be going in circles. He had no clear destination at all, but was planning something.
Huang Banxian secretly glanced at the figure in front of him, while quietly looking back into the mist.
With his ability, he actually saw something.
Ever since the mission began, there was someone who had been following them, with unknown intentions but definitely not good intentions.
Such a firm goal can only come from hatred.
Among the top ten branches, Huang Banxian has never made enemies with anyone, so it would only be Gu Xingjian, and the one who has such a big hatred against Gu Xingjian is Xu Nan.
Huang Banxian turned around quietly, rolled his eyes and began to make calculations in his mind.
But at this moment, he saw that Gu Xingjian had stopped at some point and looked at him expressionlessly.
There was a cool breeze on the back of his neck, and he shivered, and said dumbly:
"Store manager, what...what happened?"
Gu Xingjian just looked at him half-turned around, until Huang Banxian's hair stood on end, and then he said coldly and without emotion:
"Old Huang, you can start your hexagram and use tortoise shell sin objects to calculate."
"What?"
When Huang Banxian asked, he suddenly noticed that the iconic smile appeared on Gu Xingjian's face again, but because of the fog, the expression looked slightly stiff.
Just when he was suspicious, a faint sneer came, accompanied by news that made his scalp explode:
"Calculate, can you, me, and him survive five minutes in this red forbidden area?
In five minutes, I will gamble my life with Ji Li. ”
Huang Banxian's blood froze. He raised his head blankly and looked at the fog that obscured his vision. There was silence and strange silence all around.
He had no idea when he entered a red forbidden land!
