On a deserted road at night, there is an old house that is not too big. The bricks and tiles are supported by some soil and fit tightly to the roof.
Not far from the house is an abandoned factory.
Most of the rusty iron fence has been taken over by weeds growing on the ground.
Two huge old locust trees stand on both sides of the house. The trees are wrapped in two layers of rags to prevent them from being frozen by the cold wind...
inside the house.
Dazzling incandescent lights hung above the head, and in front of him was a large conference table. Several older men and women sat on both sides, staring at a yellow wooden box in front of them.
The cool wind blew in from the window, causing them to tighten their clothes.
A good-looking woman sat at the head of the conference table. Her expression was less nervous than the others. She just closed her eyes and leaned on the chair behind her to doze off.
After a long time, there was movement in the yellow wooden box.
A few people paid more attention to it, staring at the box intently.
"They're coming back."
A middle-aged man on the far side was talking to himself, with a hint of joy on his lips.
"Well, there should be no problem this time."
"I don't know how many people were saved..."
Some people echoed that they actually don't fully understand the real situation in that world, and can only roughly judge it through this box.
"It won't be a problem, right? Although they don't have much experience, it's just a passer-by-level story after all. Besides, Li Naizhou has the source of the curse."
"It's best to rescue them all."
Another man said, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the desk. He was obviously not worried about this matter, as if he was very sure about it.
"That's true..."
A slightly fat woman next to him said that she saw the yellow wooden box shaking more and more, and naturally knew that the two of them were about to come out.
Li Naizhou and Qiao Lan's experience, although they are not considered newcomers.
But it was still the first time to go in directly without the protection of others. Even if it was just a passer-by level A story, it was still dangerous for them.
So before going in, they handed a well-rated curse source to Li Naizhou to prevent any accidents from happening.
The yellow wooden box is a medium used to actively enter another world. Through the reaction of the box, you can slightly judge the general situation of the people who entered through it.
Seeing that everyone was a little relieved, the woman who was dozing on the chair slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the box, and lazily uttered a sentence: "Don't be so sure, the story of twenty people's passerby, won't
So simple..."
"You mean, something will happen to them?"
The more optimistic man turned his head and looked at her and asked.
"I mean, it's impossible to rescue them all. It would be nice to have five."
the woman said.
Then she yawned and looked down at the watch on her white wrist. It was already late. Judging from the time scale, they should have been there for about an hour.
The others did not answer, but silently observed the box.
Just after the woman finished saying this, the yellow wooden box suddenly shook violently, and then became silent.
Then, a familiar voice sounded in everyone's ears: "Please worry, we are back."
Everyone turned their heads, Li Naizhou still had a smile on his face, and Qiao Lan, who always looked calm, stood in front of the door.
Behind them, there were three people who were stunned and had not yet reacted.
"Hahaha, I said it's no problem!"
"Come and have a rest. Let's have a meal later, then take a hot bath and go home to sleep!"
"Look, I told you that nothing would happen to you!"
With Li Naizhou's return, everyone's originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed and everyone happily welcomed their arrival.
Li Naizhou smiled and nodded.
He said to the man closest to him: "That's why we have to thank our teacher Yang for the source of the curse!"
"It's not necessary to thank you, you should." The man known as Teacher Yang responded.
He stood up and patted Li Naizhou on the shoulder, then looked over the latter's shoulder towards the three people behind them.
"Are they the victims this time?"
Teacher Yang then asked.
When Shou Zhenxin and the other two arrived, they were stunned for the first time. When they saw so many people staring at them, they didn't know how to respond.
Qiao Lan nodded and expressed his confirmation.
"It's good to have rescued three people. You all should sit down and rest for a while." The fat woman behind Teacher Yang said softly to them, pointing to a seat not far away and asking them to sit down first.
Shou Zhenxin and the other three moved their bodies somewhat flattered, and sat in their positions unnaturally.
Li Naizhou patted his clothes and found a chair to sit down. He picked up a bottle of mineral water on the table and drank it.
Having just come out of that world, he finally felt relaxed and drank a bottle of water in one breath.
"Three of them are part of it, and some are not with us." After drinking the water, Li Naizhou put the bottle on the table and said to everyone.
"Hmm? Others?"
Teacher Yang didn't quite understand what it meant. In their opinion, there were three people who came back with Li Naizhou this time, so these people should be the ones who survived.
"Um."
Li Naizhou nodded, and after exhaling, he continued: "There were a total of twenty people involved in this incident. When we entered, there were only seven people left. Because of some things, they were separated.
The three of them have been following me."
"The remaining four people should all be alive and finally return to where they went."
"How to say?"
asked the lazy woman on the chair.
For things like going to a scary world to save people, it is taboo to disperse everyone. After all, if one person is not careful, other people who are dispersed may fall into the rules and die.
Questions about women.
Li Naizhou recalled what happened in Rainy Day High School.
He thought for a while,
According to what Shouzhenxin told himself before, he roughly repeated it with the addition of the things inside.
It includes the questions they did there.
After listening to what Li Naizhou said.
The woman felt a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "Qianye? That weirdo just took the other three people to the other side?"
"Yes, the exam time is coming to an end. We thought that we couldn't complete the questions, so we had to use the source of the curse to resist, so we went to find Qianye and the others."
Li Naizhou patiently answered the woman's words, and he clearly told what happened to his group.
"However, we searched the school for a long time and still couldn't find these people. When the time finally came, we had no choice but to use the source of the curse and return here first."
Everyone had their own thoughts after hearing this. Teacher Yang frowned and asked, "Could something happen to them and that's why they can't be found?"
Qiao Lan shook her head and answered Teacher Yang's question: "We found another curse source inside. We can use that thing to see the number of living people. They finally got out alive."
Get out alive?
The woman in the chair stood up.
She slowly walked up to Shou Zhenxin and the others, her beautiful eyes constantly looking at them.
"You can actually take people away without any organizational training, and it's only the second time you've entered that world..."
She touched her chin lightly, thinking about something.
After a while.
She turned to everyone and said.
"Then you go check on this person named Qianye in the next few days and help me find his address..."
