A bizarre resurrection: I, Yang Jian, am bound by a contract with the school beauty!

Being alone means certain death!

When those four words were fully formed in Qin Taotao's mind, she felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

All the previous doubts.

All the questions that were previously unanswered were answered at this moment.

The ghost driver's hint.

The deaths of those players, the analysis from the command center...

All the clues point to this one rule, which is so simple it's outrageous, yet so cruel it's utterly brutal!

After thinking this through...

Qin Taotao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into her stomach.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

Now that the rules are clear, there are ways to deal with them.

Being alone means certain death.

Conversely.

As long as you can ensure that you and your teammates are always together.

If a "crowd" is formed, then this fatal rule will not be triggered!

but.

She did not immediately share this crucial conclusion, which seemed to be her lifeline, with anyone around her.

the reason is simple.

human heart.

More unpredictable than a ghost.

In this bizarre game of national destiny.

She and Yang Jian.

Or rather, Kyushu has made too many enemies.

The Land of Lighthouses, the Land of Cherry Blossoms, the Land of South Korea...

Almost every major power player has had some degree of friction with them.

What will these people do once they know the rule that "being alone means certain death"?

Will this lead to greater unity?

No.

Qin Taotao was almost certain.

They will immediately use this rule as a weapon!

A knife that can be used to eliminate dissidents and kill competitors!

And she.

Qin Taotao, a player from the Nine Provinces Kingdom who possesses the power to control ghosts, is undoubtedly their most desired target to eliminate.

They will do everything they can to create opportunities for her to be "alone"!

and so.

This information must absolutely not be revealed.

At least.

Before completing this delivery mission, it must remain firmly buried inside.

I gathered up all the thoughts in my mind.

Qin Taotao took a deep breath, suppressed the glint in her eyes, and instead put on an extremely solemn expression.

She looked at the players from various countries around her, who were already ravaged by fear, and spoke in a somber tone:

"News from command center... those players who separated from their groups..."

She paused deliberately.

Seeing everyone's hearts in their throats, he slowly uttered the second half of his sentence.

"...They're all dead."

boom!

This news was like a bombshell, exploding among the surviving players!

"Wh...what? They're all...all dead?" A player from the White Elephant Kingdom stammered, his face turning deathly pale.

"impossible!"

"With so many people like Jack and his crew, and those strange gadgets, how could this be..."

"Less than twenty minutes...more than a dozen people...all gone?"

panic.

Like a plague, it spread wildly among the people.

prior to.

They were also afraid.

But they still clung to a sliver of hope, thinking that those people might have simply gotten separated or found a safer hiding place.

But now.

The news of Qin Taotao's death, confirmed by the command center, shattered their last glimmer of hope!

Those who deserted the group are all really dead!

This time.

No one dared to mention "separate operations" or "exploration separately" anymore.

All eyes involuntarily turned to Qin Tao.

This woman comes from Kyushu.

Although he acts domineeringly.

She could even be a bit cold-hearted, but she was, after all, a true demon tamer!

Following her doesn't guarantee survival.

But apart from her, it seems...

You'll die even faster!

"Everyone, heed my command!"

Qin Taotao's voice was cold and powerful, instantly silencing all the noise.

"From this moment forward, no one is allowed to leave a five-meter radius around me!"

"Everyone, back to back, form a defensive formation and continue advancing!"

"Our objective is to complete the mail delivery mission within Huanggang Village!"

Under the immense threat of death, no one dared to voice any objections.

The remaining players spontaneously huddled around Qin Taotao, surrounding her with an almost reverent devotion.

Step by step.

They moved deeper into the thick fog.

however.

New problems soon arose.

Same as before.

This group of people seemed to be trapped in an endless maze.

No matter which direction they go.

How long did it take?

The surrounding scenery remained unchanged.

It's always that thick, gray fog, always that dilapidated outline that's barely visible.

they.

It was impossible to get through this eerie fog, let alone reach the interior of Huanggang Village.

Time passed slowly, and the line came to a stop.

An atmosphere of despair began to permeate the air once again.

"How could this be... We're clearly moving forward, so why does it feel like we're just going around in circles?"

"Is this some kind of ghost wall? There's something wrong with this fog!"

"Does...do I really have to be alone to get in?"

A timid player.

He uttered a chilling guess in a trembling voice.

This is a guess.

Like a poisonous thorn, it pierced everyone's heart.

Being alone will lead to death.

Not alone.

We can't escape this fog.

This is an unsolvable dead end!

Qin Taotao frowned.

She also realized the seriousness of the problem. The rules of this ghost seemed to be more complex than she had imagined.

"Being alone means certain death" is the rule of murder.

And "gathering".

It seems that another rule has been triggered—the fog dilemma.

This copy.

It seems they're using every means to force them to separate!

What should I do?

Do we really have to gamble with human lives and test the limits of being "alone"?

Qin Taotao's gaze swept across the crowd, her brain working at lightning speed.

No.

You can't gamble like that.

But you can try.

She must find a balance that can weaken the fog without triggering the "lone wolf is doomed" rule!

"Everyone, split into two teams!"

Qin Taotao gave the order decisively.

The players stirred, their faces filled with resistance and fear.

"Splitting into two teams?"

"Isn't this just sending us to our deaths?"

"No!"

"Absolutely not! We can't be apart!"

"Follow my orders!"

Qin Taotao's voice suddenly rose, and a chilling aura emanated from her body, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.

"They're simply divided into two teams, each ten meters apart!"

"If things don't look right, immediately move back together!"

Her assertiveness.

The panic among the crowd was temporarily suppressed.

soon.

The team was divided into two groups.

Qin Taotao led a team of several players from Kyushu with whom she had a decent relationship, while the rest were assigned to another team.

The moment the two teams separated by ten meters.

Something amazing happened.

The thick fog around us seemed to have actually... thinned out a bit!

Although I still can't see clearly into the distance.

But at least.

Visibility has improved from three to five meters to seven or eight meters.

it works!

Qin Taotao's heart stirred.

But that's not enough.
