Park

At the beginning of the cobblestone path, a fork in the road branches off to the left, leading to a simple, dilapidated shrine.

The Wooden Plaque pass I bought from Mr. Aha trembled slightly, seemingly drawn by the shrine.

"The pass should be for entry into this shrine."

Walk towards the shrine.

Suddenly, an old man crawled out from the inner door. The old man, who only had his upper body left, was really terrifying... Wenli was so frightened that she almost hit him on the head with a hammer.

"Winry..."

Han Dong immediately reached out to stop Wen Li. Under the observation of his Lesser Demon Eye, she was just a pitiful person whose lower body had been amputated.

The old man uttered a series of hoarse warnings.

"The path you are about to take will lead to the ' Senluo Ghost Domain '... Those who enter will almost never come out alive, and will eventually become evil spirits trapped there forever."

Are you really sure you want to go in?

"Sure."

There is no way out.

In the "Commercial District" where Han Dong is currently located, almost all the clues have been bought up, and there is no possibility of earning points anymore.

Meanwhile, a large number of death row inmates are active in other areas... It has been a week since we entered the Destiny World, and the clues on the periphery have been almost exhausted.

To acquire enough points and achieve a high enough rating in this Destiny Event, you must delve deeper.

Most importantly, even if you stay in the outer area, you can't find a way to escape the park.

"Please put your passes into the wooden box..."

Ring ring ring!

As the pass was placed into the wooden box inside the shrine.

The old man, who only had his upper body left, spat out a bell tied with a red string from his mouth.

"Whenever the bell rings, it means you need to stop and wait for the 'mist' to dissipate before continuing... Do not rush. The Senluo Ghost Domain is just ahead."

"Thanks."

Han Dong didn't care about the saliva on the bell and immediately grabbed this important prop.

While the team members are still Full of Spirit after waking up, we must hurry to the Paradise Inner Layer.

Han Dong estimates that the most common "Speed Change" in Destiny Event is coming soon... The rhythm of the game will change completely, and those who cannot adapt will die.

In the time to come, 'sleep' may become a very luxurious thing.

Walking along the winding cobblestone path, a gentle breeze blows every now and then.

The white garments hanging among the trees sway in the wind.

Dense fog will envelop the current area.

Strange laughter will come from all directions.

The road ahead will branch out in many directions, making it impossible to distinguish the correct path.

"Ring ring ring..."

The bell obtained at the shrine rings at this moment.

Like throwing a small pebble into a pond, the ripples slowly disperse the white mist... and the road returns to its original state.

In just less than thirty seconds of this change, Han Dong was covered in cold sweat.

If you attempt to force your way into the Paradise Inner Layer without using a pass to exchange for a bell, you will be completely lost here and devoured by countless wandering ghosts.

It takes about four hours.

After the bell rang 32 times, the cobblestone path finally came to an end, and the trees on both sides, covered with white leaves, stopped extending.

We have officially arrived at the Paradise Inner Layer.

Similar to the 'outside the city' of the world where Han Dong and the others were... the sunlight was blocked by thick, dark clouds.

Less than 10% of the sunlight penetrates the clouds and shines here.

It is very similar to the urban environment at nine o'clock at night, where there is only a little moonlight.

However, the team members all have night vision capabilities, and Winry has also specially prepared night vision goggles.

The cobblestone path leads directly to the back gate of an abandoned park.

Withered vines were clearly visible hanging from the park's fence, and a sense of danger emanated from within the park.

"According to the map, we just need to cross the park, turn right, and walk two streets to reach the nearest 'shop'..."

We currently know nothing about the Paradise Inner Layer, so please do not make any unnecessary movements; our primary goal should be to reach the shops.

"Clear..."

An inexplicable sense of unease caused Winry, a member of the team, to instinctively gravitate towards her most reliable Vice Captain.

Mia has entered battle mode.

Upon sensing any danger, it will immediately switch to spider form and draw its demon sword...

Abel, on the other hand, served as a scout.

With his beast senses fully activated, Han Dong was able to meticulously observe the surrounding environment and detect potential dangers as soon as possible.

"This is!?"

The group pressed themselves against the cracks in the rotten iron gate as they stepped into the abandoned park.

I was immediately drawn to the public restroom directly opposite.

As mentioned before, darkness shrouds this land... and naturally, there are no lights in the abandoned park either.

The public restroom was constantly flashing a white light, which was extremely eerie.

Click... click... click...

Meanwhile, sounds like chopping wood could be heard coming from inside the public toilet.

Just as the attention of two girls in the line was drawn to the public restroom.

Han Dong grabbed Mia, while Abel grabbed Wenli from the other side, both whispering, "Back off!"

The four immediately hid in the weeds at the edge of the park.

It wasn't because of the public toilet.

But something came along the path on the right side of the park...

"This..."

Within sight.

A dog walker strolled slowly along the park's walking path.

Walking dogs in the park at night is a very common thing.

But it's a little different here...

As the dog walker slowly approached, Wenli was so frightened by his appearance that she quickly covered her mouth.

The 'dog walker' was an obese man whose entire body was bound with needles.

A black mask covered his eyes and nose, revealing only a gaping maw... His enormous belly hung in front of him, and he weighed at least 800 pounds.

He was holding a Man-dog that had undergone 'stitching' modifications.

Wenli leaned towards Han Dong out of fear... and as it turned out, leaning towards Han Dong was the right choice.

Because this 'dog walker' also has a keen sense of perception.

Han Dong decisively reached out and forcibly pulled Wen Li, who had come closer, into his arms.

Using the properties of the "Bone Feather Robe," the Raven Feathers spread out, covering Winry's entire body and further concealing her presence.

Mia and Abel each have their own methods.

Even Though so...

The dog walker was approaching the bushes.

The 'pet dog' sniffed its nose, which had been cut off and was filled with auxiliary tubes, as if it wanted to crawl into the grass.

Han Dong slightly raised his hand, signaling the whole team to pay attention...

Prepare to kill the dog walker and his pet in an instant.

At a critical moment.

Hahaha... A burst of laughter came from the public restroom.

The dog walker immediately stopped searching the bushes.

The dog, its head tilted to the other side of the public restroom, stared intently at the toilet with its mouth full of fangs and stitches.
