  "You think of this as a proje formed under certain ditions in the real world," Jiang g gestured to the shadow beside the Fatty on the beach. After a moment of thought, he tinued, "For example, you represent the real world, and here is your shadow."

  The Fatty fidgeted with his lips for a while before stammering, "So... so this isn't our world, but the two worlds are in a symbiotic retionship?"

  "Symbiotic retionship..." Jiang g thought for a moment, then shook his head, denying, "A symbiotic retionship means both exist together for mutual be; without ohe other ot survive. But..."

  He looked up at the Fatty and tinued, "If I shoot your shadow, will you die?"

  The example was simple and easy to uand.

  What happens in this world won't affect the real world.

  "Doctor," After a moment, the Fatty had absorbed the information Jiang g had given him. Looking at the doctor, he frowned and asked, "But how is this different from what you said before?"

  "Even if you're right, and this is indeed a proje of the real world, what does that ge?"

  The Fatty blinked, seemingly worried that the doisuood his meaning, and added, "What I mean is, we get any different information from this?"

  "Si's a proje, it's highly likely to follow the i ws of our world," Jiang g looked out at the vast sea. After a long pause, he answered, "This point is important."

  "Let's go," Jiang g shifted his gaze, walked in a different dire, and said, "Let's check over there."

  Before starting their exploration, the coastal area was assigo Jiang g and the Fatty, while the forest was tasked to Su Xiaoxiao and her brother, Su An.

  Their main goal on this journey was to find food, especially water sources.

  Having gone aire day and night without drinking, their throats felt painfully dry. If it weren't for the o exge information, no one would have wao speak.

  Of course, essential camoufge aside.

  Jiang g and the Fatty first walked around the cliff. The Fatty gently knocked on the rock wall with some stones he had found and discovered that what seemed like a sturdy rock wall had already been severely eroded by the sea breeze.

  With a little force, pieces of rock would peel off.

  It seemed that Liang Long's statement was correct—climbing up from here, especially without professional tools, was nearly impossible.

  "Doctor," the Fatty, hiding from the sun in the shade, looked up and asked, "Could this be a deserted isnd?"

  Apart from the vast, seemingly endless forest, it didn't seem like there was any way to move through the area.

  They hadn't seen Su Xiaoxiao and her brother he forest, and it was unclear whether they had hidden somewhere or truly ventured into the eerily silent forest.

  Not hearing Jiang g’s respohe Fatty followed his gaze, licked his lips, and quietly said, "Doctor, do you think there's something wrong with this forest?"

  "Mm."

  "Then what about Su Xiaoxiao and the others?"

  "Fatty," Jiang g squiowards the forest, suddenly speaking, "Do you still remember the path that old woman took you on?"

  The Fatty froze, blinking and replying, "You mean the one before we found you and Ran?"

  "Mm."

  "We met her by the coast. At that time, the old woman was ier," the Fatty recalled. "Later, we walked around the coast, and then she led us to the cliffside, saying we should try."

  "So, she preferred risking climbing the cliff rather thaing close to the forest," Jiang g exhaled. The tone of his voice, more like a firmation of a guess, rather than a question.

  His gaze towards the forest became increasingly intriguing.

  The Fatty lowered his voice, almost as if to firm, "So, you mean there's something strange in the forest?"

  "There's something strange everywhere here—the lighthouse, the sea, the buildings—but the oddities in the forest are bigger, and the danger is higher," Jiang g replied, "That's why the old woman, after returning here a sed time, chose to avoid it. I think the group that was stranded here long ago must have entered something in the forest."

  Hearing this, the Fatty’s face ged gradually, uanding that Jiang g's hypothesis made sense.

  However, there was ohing the doctor hadn't said ht—the group that had been stranded here must have experienced something inprehensible in the forest, resulting in heavy losses. Perhaps only the old woman survived.

  This experience deeply scarred her, causio abandon further exploration.

  "Doctor," the Fatty seemed to think of something, his face turning pale. His lips trembled, and after a long while, he mao squeeze out a voice, "Do you think Su Xiaoxiao and the others... might all have died in there?"

  "I don't know." Jiang g's profile revealed ion. "But I think even if they e out, it’s probably just like us."

  "Just like us?" The Fatty repeated Jiang g’s words quietly. After a moment, he seemed to snap back to reality and looked up, "Doctor, you mean even if they e back, they still won’t find food and water?"

  "Mm."

  "But why?" The Fatty couldn’t help but ask. "Is the purpose of this pce just to trap us?"

  Sintering the bizarre nightmare tasks, the Fatty had imagined many ways he could die—such as having his head pulled off by a ghost, or his neapped, or even being hung up to bleed out.

  But he never imagihat in this nightmare, one could die of hunger or thirst.

  Well... he thought it was most likely thirst.

  Because humans survive a while without food, but without water, a few days is the limit.

  He had already begun to seriously sider the possibility of chewing on tree bark.

  After a long silence, Jiang g remained hidden in the shadows.

  For some reason, no matter what kind of dire situation they were in, it felt like as long as the doctor was there, they could make it through.

  Just as the Fatty thought Jiang g had fallen silent out of discement, he suddenly heard a slightly hoarse voice.

  "Fatty," Jiang g spoke again, but this time his voice sounded unfamiliar, even chilling. For a moment, the Fatty thought it was just a halluation caused by mental strain.

  "Doctor, I’m here."

  "Do you remember what the old woman said?" Jiang g paused, reminding him, "Last night?"

  After thinking for a while, the Fatty hesitated as he recalled the bizarre se. He still remembered it quite clearly: "She said it’s ing, she heard the sound, and then she said everyone was going to die!"

  The Fatty carefully swallorecious bit of saliva, his throat feeling painfully dry, "She also said something was callihat she should have died here, along with the others!"

  The ses from st night fshed ity's mind—the woman's twisted face, her sharp and eerie voice, like a serrated knife repeatedly cutting at his nerves.

  The intense pain stimuted his head, and recalling the woman's state, the Fatty seemed to be disturbed by some unknown force, fully immersed in the woman’s narration.
