  “I see,” Su Xiaoxiao smiled as well, “Then I’ll leave it to you, Mr. . I only want my brother and I to survive. As for who’s the first to walk out the door, I’m not ed.”

  Ran widened his eyes, curious, “Miss Su, don’t you want to try for it?”

  “No,” Su Xiaoxiao lowered her void said seriously, “I don’t want to be enemies with lunatics, especially a group of them.”

  Ran squinted, seemingly aced to such bels, even enjoying them. He slowly curved his lips into a smile, which, bined with his calm face, created a striking visual trast.

  It was like a beautiful piece of art suddenly colpsing.

  “You’re a disciple,” Su Xiaoxiao stared at Ran’s face, “You’re... one of the Crimson people.”

  Ran’s smile grew even more exaggerated.

  Their versation ended here. Rahe way, and Su Xiaoxiao followed about two meters behind him.

  Strangely enough, their inal pn was to trick Jiang g and the Fatty into thinking they had already ehe forest to search for clues, luring them to enter as well.

  Iy, they had been hiding in the abandoned hall on the first floor of the building, waiting for Jiang g and Fatty to leave before they followed, watg them ehe forest from a distance.

  Whether from Su Xiaoxiao’s narration or the stories from the people of Bck Stoown, the white stoablet was the beginning of the story.

  The curse inated from it.

  Such things, if not looked at, would always leave one uneasy.

  And this raised another question: Who would look at it first?

  Su Xiaoxiao and Su An only went the first time because they didn’t know about the stoablet’s eerie nature. Otherwise, she would never have gotten close, let aloouch it.

  At least she hadn’t touched it with her hands.

  So, they needed a few “teammates” to clear the path for them.

  They had po wait until Jiang g fell asleep before leaving under some pretext, and before leaving, they specifically “instructed” Fatty to stay home and not go anywhere.

  This was because they feared Jiang g would see through their trick if he was awake and insist on ing along.

  To be ho, Su Xiaoxiao was betting the safety of her brother, hoping Jiang g wouldn’t see through their lie.

  As for Fatty, he wasn’t sidered in their pns.

  From their experie was established that anything out of the ordinary in a nightmare was mostly not something good, it’s more probable for it to be something bad.

  So their pn was to follow Jiang g and Fatty, using them to scout the path.

  As for what the people of Bck Stoown said about the straoablet being hidden deep in the forest in a hard-to-find, rarely visited po one paid attention to suonsense. After all, for the people involved iask, no matter how hard it was to find, these key locations would always be discovered, or the task couldn’t tinue.

  That was the rule.

  It was even likely they would find the straoablet soon after setting off.

  Before long, the two arrived at the edge of the forest.

  Ran still had that strange expression on his face, but Su Xiaoxiao was different. She had just retly escaped from this nightmare-like forest.

  Now, she had to go ba.

  No matter how carefully she pnned in her mind, psychologically, going against her instincts and heading ihe forest was the hardest part.

  This forest was a nightmare within a nightmare for her, and just approag it made her extremely resistant.

  She had a foreboding feeling that if she stepped into this forest again, she might never leave.

  “Miss Su,” Ran’s voiterrupted her thoughts, waking her from her memories. He smiled slightly, “Please lead the way.”

  Ran, whether in appearance, emotion, or even his micro-expressions, didn’t seem to have any hint of threat, but all the uny factors bined, his face appeared quite disturbing.

  Su Xiaoxiao disliked being threatened, but this time, she had no choice but to ply.

  “Mr. ,” Su Xiaoxiao turned her head at the st moment before stepping into the forest, staring into his eyes. After a pause, she said coldly, “I hope there’s only oeam scouting the path.”

  Ran seemed not to uand her words and widened his eyes slightly, “Miss Su, what are you saying? We’re panions!”

  “Let’s hope that’s truly the case.”

  Su Xiaoxiao stepped into the forest, and after a moment of hesitation, Ran followed suit.

  The two, under Su Xiaoxiao’s lead, moved toward the dire she remembered.

  There, they would withe process of “assimition” and even the in of the curse.

  As Su Xiaoxiao hurried forward, she suddenly had a strange illusion. It seemed that the two people who entered before them were meant to be the sacrifices to the forest.

  Yes, it made perfect sense, because in her brother Su An’s memory, this forest... was alive.

  It was watg them enter, one group after ahe crew that had been stranded here by a shipwreck, and the people of Bck Stoown!

  They were all sacrifices, s to the entire forest.

  Perhaps, it also watched over the indescribable, uable, and unstoppable “it” that the people of Bck Stoown spoke of.

  After Ran and Su Xiaoxiao ehe forest, the forest’s boundary fell silent once more.

  It seemed that the eerie silence was the main theme of this pce.

  However, only a few mier, the silence was broken by an out-of-pce sound.

  “Zhi—, crack!”

  A nimble figure slid down from the top half of the tree, which was well-covered by the trees, holding onto the trunk, the go, spun 180 degrees, bent their knees slightly, and nded smoothly.

  The figure looked in the dire where Ran and Su Xiaoxiao had disappeared, narrowing their eyes, then made a sound with their mouth.

  A moment ter—

  “Doctor,” came Fatty’s voice from the tree, sounding terrified, speaking in a low voice as if afraid to disturb the possible ghosts in the forest.

  “How do I get down?”

  Fatty’s voice trembled. He was afraid of heights, and he was at least five or six meters off the ground. With his size, if he fell directly, breaking a leg would be the best case sario.

  Just looking down made his legs shake.

  In the end, it was Jiang g who used some special method to help Fatty get down safely from the tree.

  “Doctor,” Fatty had just gotten down and hadn’t steadied himself yet when he looked at Jiang g with admiration and awe, “You’re amazing! How did you know these two were ag, and their goal was to trick us into the forest?” Fatty’s eyes sparkled.

  Jiang g took a deep breath and seriously said to Fatty, “Fatty, if I told you that I thought of their pn too but didn’t have time to a it, and they beat me to it, would you believe me?”

  Fatty nodded repeatedly: “I absolutely would, I believe in you, doctor. It isn’t without reason that you’re an orphan, everything you say makes sense.”
