Chapter 206: Stranger

  Transtor: der Transtions

  --------

  Stepping outside the building, bathing in the sunlight, Jiang g’s plexion finally improved a bit. The Fatty turned back to g the slightly eerie building, his heart pounding heavily.

  The feeling was strange; he had seen nothing, heard nothing, and didn’t even sehe slightest abnormality. Yet, just being influenced by the doctor had made him feel this way.

  He withdrew his gaze and looked at the doctor, his lips trembling a few times. Before he could utter a word, he heard the doctor ask, “Has Ran or Su Xiaoxiao mentioned where they’re going?”

  The Fatty thought for a moment and shook his head with certainty, “No.”

  “Doctor,” the Fatty suddenly asked, “They... they wouldn’t have goo that forest, would they?” He looked toward the forest, which seemed lush but gave off a sense of death. The Fatty felt a deep, instinctive reje rise up from within him.

  He had personally experiehe weirdness in the forest—the eerie mist deep within, like a quagmire that once you fall into, you ’t escape from.

  He definitely didn’t want to gh that again.

  But now, the situation was clear—they hadn’t found Ran and the others ihe building. The beach was empty, and so was the cliff. A few scattered rge stones nearby didn’t look like they could hide someone.

  So...

  The oute was quite obvious. Taking advantage of the doctor’s sleep, Ran and Su Xiaoxiao had sneaked into the small woods.

  “Let’s go,” Jiang g said, stepping towards the forest. “Let’s take a look.”

  Although the Fatty wao persuade the doctor not to approach the forest, it was clear that the forest held crucial secrets regarding the task, or perhaps even its in.

  After all, everything started happening after that strange white stone disk was found.

  Whether it was the “assimited” ghostly beings or the curse itself...

  The Fatty couldn’t help but keep thinking about the curse—what exactly did it refer to? And what about the things assimited in Bck Stoown? They—no, it—what was their purpose?

  The closer they got to the forest, the strohe ominous feeling ity’s heart became. That pce was the in of all the mysteries and, simirly, carried the greatest danger of the entire mission.

  His steps slowed as a thought fshed in his mind. He couldn’t care less about the doctor’s rea and immediately said, “Doctor, if it’s really that dangerous he stone disk, how did Su Xiaoxiao and Su An escape?”

  “Don’t fet, so many people in Bck Stoown have already…”

  Before the Fatty could finish his sentence, Jiang g ehe forest, the “rustling” of his footsteps sounded in his ears like tless wild cats scratg.

  The Fatty was stunned.

  Why was the doctor se today?

  However, this thought passed fleetingly. Sooeeled himself against the risian his heart and followed the doctor.

  They slowly moved deeper into the forest.

  As they proceeded, the resistan the Fatty’s heart grew stronger, nearly unbearable. He stared at the doctor’s back, and an unfamiliar feeling suddenly surged within him.

  Though the doctor had always been a free spirit, today, he seemed unusually odd.

  Gradually, the Fatty’s face ged slightly, and he suddenly had a bold guess.

  It wasn’t just bold—it was dht chilling. Just the thought of it made his legs tremble untrolbly.

  And more importantly, if this guess were firmed, then today would be his st day. This forest... would be his burial ground!

  If Su Xiaoxiao and Su An might have been “assimited,” then what about the doctor?

  Had he also been “assimited”?

  Based oty’s uanding of the curse, it might not just be the act of witnessing the stone disk that causes the curse’s effects. There could be other ways.

  The missing Liang Long, the biker girl, might not be dead. They could very well have been “assimited,” angled with the ghostly beings in Bck Stoown.

  And that old woman, she was also suspicious...

  The Fatty’s thoughts drifted further and further. Various plicated and tangled clues piled up in his mind, iwining and leading to new specutions.

  Reasoning was never his strong suit, and now his mind was nothing but a tangled mess.

  Though he thought of many things, iy, only a moment passed, and he had only followed the doctor for a few dozeers, maybe even less.

  But that was as far as he got.

  Because the doctor in front of him had already turned around, standing still, looking at him with an expressioty couldn’t uand. Then, the doctor slowly tilted his o one side.

  “Wheerson squihe salty sea breeze blowing on their face, their bangs a mess in the wind. But due to their striking appearahey gave off a rare, hermit-like aura, standing apart from the world.

  “They’ve gone in,” Su Xiaoxiao’s voice echoed in his ear, emotionless, without warmth.

  She turned her head to look at Ran, still staring into the dire of the forest, and said faintly, “Mr. , your method worked.”

  Ran seemed to have received firmation, slowly withdrawing his gaze, then fog on Su Xiaoxiao’s delicate face. After a moment, he grinned and said, “Miss Su, you’re being modest. This isn’t just my doing,” he paused, then added, “You’re also involved.”

  To this, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t respond. Proteg herself in the nightmare was her only choice, especially since her brother, Su An, couldn’t hold on much longer.

  She uood exactly what kind of person Ran was. The risks of w with him were enormous. To be ho, she had less affe for him than fuy named Hao Shuai.

  At least that guy seemed a bit more sincere.

  But... opinions always ge as one’s uanding deepens, especially after Ran showed her the things he had found. More precisely, the clues.

  Extremely important clues.

  It was... a carving, engraved on a broken stone pilr they often passed by. Across from it was the stone door they had first opened.

  There was almost nothing around the stone pilr, making it stand out, but this very trast made everyone overlook it. After all, who would expect clues to be hidden in su obvious pce?

  “Mr. , I’d like to know how you noticed that carving?” Her gaze was sharp, not aggressive, just unusually curious.

  After all, though the stone pilr was obvious, the carving was done using the same teique as the carved creatures oone door—hidden patterns. You couldn’t see them directly; only when water or dust lied would they appear.

  “Heh,” Ran turned his head toward her, and after a moment, exaggeratedly raised the ers of his mouth. He then pulled out a folded piece of paper from his chest and waved it in front of Su Xiaoxiao.

  “Miss Su,” Ran smiled, “Any more questions?”
