I discovered a world bug.

Chapter 119 Route

Two days later, at Qingcheng Mountain.

Chen Zhu walked alone on the scenic trail, his earpiece constantly ringing with reports from the command center about the surrounding surveillance situation.

For her, these reports didn't really mean much.

After all, even if something unusual is found in the surveillance footage, the other members of the action team will handle it immediately, so there's no need for us to do anything ourselves.

My task is simply to find a way into that so-called "space" and participate in that "questioning of the heart."

Chen Zhu paused briefly at the corner of the stairs leading up to the top, catching his breath slightly.

The overall altitude of the scenic area is not high, but the place I want to go is still some distance from the core area.

The road is difficult to walk, with many ups and downs and a lot of elevation gain, which is a huge challenge to physical strength.

Fortunately, after graduating from the police academy, the team's assessments never stopped. Every now and then, there would be 800-meter runs or extra training sessions organized in the gym.

At the time, the leader said, "It's for your own good, newcomers," and I thought it was just empty rhetoric, or to put it more bluntly, a test of obedience.

But looking back now...

Hey, you know what, it actually works.

At least, without logistical support, I won't collapse from exhaustion halfway through the journey.

A light rain began to fall from the sky, and Chen Zhu put on the hood of his windbreaker.

The raindrops hit the hat, making a pattering sound.

The sound was like some kind of white noise, always calming the mind.

Lifting his foot to continue forward, Chen Zhu glanced at the map data on the PDA he was given. There was a red line clearly marking the route he would take on this trip.

After passing the warning sign, continue walking along the path for about 400 meters.

Then, turn around under a strange banyan tree that seems completely out of place in this mountainous area, walk through the aerial roots entwined on the banyan tree, and a new path will appear before you.

If you walk up the newly appeared road, you will see the "Earth Immortal Temple" and officially enter that space.

The route was unbelievably clear—but this clarity wasn't due to any new clues the authorities had obtained.

Or perhaps some new technology was used.

It was purely something I saw, recorded, and sketched out in the ritual of "yarrow stalk and tortoise shell divination".

I have to say, I didn't expect the divination result to be so good.

Although the images seen in the hallucinations were extremely blurry, thanks to his talent for profiling, he was able to reconstruct every scene he had witnessed in the divination environment after leaving it.

Unfortunately, the divination only revealed the "route".

If we could directly see what would happen after contacting the "Earth Immortal," we might even be able to skip this entire operation.

However, things in life are rarely perfect, and achieving this much has already far exceeded expectations.

Everything is going smoothly; I just hope this smooth sailing continues.

I looked up, and there was a warning sign not far ahead.

The sign had two lines of text written on it.

[Undeveloped area, enter with caution]

In case of danger, please call the emergency rescue number.

—Not only the warning signs themselves, but even the text on them is exactly the same.

Looks like we made the right choice!

Chen Zhu's heart beat slightly faster; the closer she got to her target, the more nervous she became.

What lies ahead...?

From a distance, the dense forest in the rain was shrouded in a thin layer of white mist, and within the mist, two figures suddenly appeared.

Chen Zhu immediately became alert.

She pressed the call button and said in a low voice, "I've spotted two strangers; they might be tourists from the area."

A moment later, a reply came through the earphones.

"We've seen them; they're just ordinary tourists. You can continue."

"Be careful to avoid the other person and try to avoid contact."

"clear."

Chen Zhu took a deep breath, moved slightly to the side, and stopped for the moment.

The two people remained standing in the same spot, and from a distance, they appeared to be discussing or arguing.

A few minutes later, they finally reached a conclusion, and the two walked back side by side toward the warning sign.

"The person is gone."

Chen Zhu reported again: "They are confirmed to be ordinary tourists; one wants to continue walking while the other wants to turn back."

No abnormalities were found.

"clear."

Qin Lang's voice came through the headphones.

"Be careful, your divination results may not be completely accurate, and this area may not be completely unchanging."

"You cannot guarantee that you will enter the illusion at a fixed time and place."

"Therefore, any abnormalities must be reported promptly."

"clear."

Chen Zhu answered in a low voice, brushing past the two tourists.

The two men glanced at her curiously, and slowed their pace for a moment.

Judging from their expressions, they seemed to want to persuade him as well, but in the end, neither of them said a word.

Looking back, the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance. Chen Zhu continued forward, and within a few minutes, the strange banyan tree was already in front of him.

Just go under the air vent...

Chen Zhu stood still and gave a final report to the rear.

"I've identified key targets."

"From here, I am very likely to enter a dream world."

"Please prepare for observation."

"Ready."

Jin Yue's voice came through the earpiece, along with the buzzing of the drone overhead.

—In order to avoid making too big a move and arousing the suspicion of the Hongyuan Society, a large number of support personnel were left behind in the rear, and only I entered Qingcheng Mountain alone.

But this does not mean that you are in a state of isolation and helplessness.

In reality, the power of the authorities always exists in those less visible corners, and...

It remains incredibly powerful, exceeding all expectations.

This reassured Chen Zhu.

She took another step and stood in front of the aerial roots of the banyan tree.

What will I see if I go through here?

Like in the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia" that I watched when I was a kid, entering a completely new world?

Or is it that nothing will change, and passing through the air roots is just a necessary step in this "ritual"?

From the perspective of the basic principles of ritual, the latter seems more reasonable.

She took off her hood and her somewhat cumbersome backpack, then bent down and focused on the gaps between the aerial roots of the banyan tree.

The gap was narrow, but it was still passable.

However, it will take some effort...

She tried to adjust her movements, trying to find a smoother posture.

But it was at this moment...

Suddenly, a shout came from behind.

"Hey!"

Chen Zhu suddenly became alert.

Her body sprang up like a spring, and she looked back sharply.

His hand was already on his waist—there was a newly issued Type 92 pistol.

However......

There was nothing behind her.

"Did you hear that?"

Chen Zhu frowned and asked, "I think I was hallucinating just now."

"No, I didn't hear anything."

Jin Yue's voice came through the radio.

Chen Zhu looked around to make sure he didn't find a single person in any corner.

strangeness...

Was I just hallucinating?!

But clearly, I haven't even gone halfway down the road I'm supposed to walk.

Perhaps, as Qin Lang said, the closer we get to that strange "domain," the more bizarre things will happen?

do not care.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Zhu turned around again.

The arrow is on the string, and it must be released.

Having come this far, no matter what lies ahead, I must go and see for myself.

Chen Zhu made up his mind.

She lowered her head again.

At that very moment, she suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold.

Followed by.

A pale hand rested on her shoulder.
