Toot toot toot...

The motorcycle was walking slowly along the path in the wilderness under Crimson Moon.

The cool night breeze blew on his face, making Lu Xin's emotions very confusing and a little complicated.

I don't know if it's the dancer's remaining abilities or some other reason.

Until then, Lu Xin's eyes would always see the dancer's weird dance posture.

In my heart, there will always be a troublesome story between her and this village, which seems to be a mess.

Now, he didn't think about the principle of the strangeness he saw, just like what kind of abilities the dancer possessed. Qinggang also recorded the abilities of a "dancer" system before, but he didn't know if they belonged to the same kind.

That old lady is obviously a monster, but she is not the only one who can see it. What type does she belong to?

Lu Xin My thoughts are very confused now. I didn't try to analyze it. I just recorded it truthfully in a small notebook.

What occupies his mind even more now is something so complicated that he can't even figure it out.

Being in the wilderness is indeed different from being in High Wall City...

Who is the capable person and who is Pollution Source?

I saw in this village that those who harm people are people with abilities, and those who save people are monsters.

But those who harm others may not be worthy of sympathy, and those who save others may not be without their despicable qualities.

This complex feeling makes Lu Xin feel elusive.

There was no longer a clear dividing line in the middle, which he didn't like very much.

"Chen Jing What they did is right..."

"How can we do it without some order? It's all confusing..."

Fortunately, Lu Xin is a positive, healthy and optimistic person. He just drove the car silently, thought about it for a while, and then decided not to think about these things anymore. He still felt that it would be better to consider how to get to the main road and where to find a place to rest...

I'm so careless...

I originally thought about replenishing the water supply here, but the filtered water only filled the bottom of a bottle.

On the contrary, I consumed another bottle of the two bottles of water I had left.

Now I only have a bottle of bottled water and the bottom of the bottle left, and I'm afraid I won't be able to part with it even if I brush my teeth tomorrow morning.

Moreover, I just drank a lot of noodle soup, which may be a bit salty. Not only did I not feel that I had enough water, I even felt a little thirsty.

He still remembered Han Bing's warning that it was already very dangerous in the wilderness.

Will be... thirsty!

Phew, Lu Xin took a long breath, raised his head, and looked around in the wilderness with the light of Crimson Moon.

Then he discovered...

... I'm lost.

At this time, he was in an unknown wilderness, surrounded by wild grass. In many places, even the road had been covered. Looking in the distance, he could not see the shadow of the road, and even the village where he came had disappeared.

Everywhere you can see, there are patches of dense forests located throughout the wilderness.

"Glasses, bring up the map."

Lu Xin looked hard for a while, and then shouted softly.

I didn't dare to speak loudly in the wilderness for fear that something would hear me.

On the left eyeglass surface, a burst of data jumped. Lu Xin saw the map and at the same time saw a jumping point on the map.

This point shows exactly where he is now.

It can be clearly seen that this position has deviated far from the avenue he originally wanted to take.

Originally, after he left the village, he planned to walk back along the path, returning to the intersection of the Beginning and turning off the main road.

Now that I have been driving along the small road for so long, it stands to reason that I should be close to the main road.

But as a result, I was further away from the main road.

"The road at night is too difficult..."

Lu Xin murmured, looked up at the bright and bright Crimson Moon, and said happily, "Fortunately, the moonlight is bright enough..."

From the map, he determined the direction of the main road, chose a small road, and drove forward.

The beeping motorcycle looked extremely clear in the silent wilderness.

In the grass that is as tall as a person, there always seems to be some eyes staring at me eerily.

Lu Xin After walking along the path for a while, he stopped.

Because he found that there seemed to be something wrong with the way he was walking. He did not approach the main road, but walked parallel to it.

"Wrong direction?"

Lu Xin thought about it and took out the compass from the bag hanging on the handlebar.

By the moonlight, when I opened it, I saw that the compass pointer was spinning around like a headless fly.

This is some kind of magnetic field that affects the state of the pointer.

Lu Xin had no choice but to put away the compass, raised his head and looked into the distance, compared it with the map on the lens, and slowly sorted it out in his mind:

"The trend of the main road is to extend all the way and veer to the right in front. In this case, as long as I keep a straight line and keep walking forward, I will return to the main road no matter what... There is still enough gas in the motorcycle, so I will just go out for an outing..."

Having made up his mind, he started the car again.

The light of the motorcycle tore a hole into the dark world sprinkled with Sisi dark red, and the path was looming in the grass.

"Dudududu"

"Dudududu"

The motorcycle drove forward. After half an hour, Lu Xin stopped and opened the map again.

Then Lu Xin suddenly felt very distressed about gas money.

On the map, his position seemed to have not moved, and he still maintained the original distance from the main road.

What the hell?

Obviously I have been driving for a long time...

"Glasses, show the route I just walked."

Lu Xin said softly, and the picture on the left eye lens began to change. Soon, Lu Xin saw a green straight line, which was the path he had taken. He could clearly see that he had been moving for more than two hours, but the route he moved showed an elliptical shape on the map, over and over again, and again and again...

So...

Lu Xin looked up at this eerie wilderness, and gradually remembered a legend:

"I met a ghost and hit the wall?"

"..."

Lu Xin couldn't help but feel refreshed.

When he was a child, he also loved listening to ghost stories. He had heard too many such things, but this was the first time he encountered one.

What should you do when you encounter a ghost hitting the wall?

He thought of several solutions:

1. Put your underwear on your head, keep walking forward, and you can leave.

2. Spit three times in the back.

3. Swearing all the way and walking forward without looking back.

Lu Xin pondered for a while and rejected the first plan.

After pondering for a while, he rejected the third option. After all, it was not good to curse.

Then he hesitated and looked around to make sure his sister was not around, then he quickly pouted three times backwards.

Then hold on to the handlebars and move forward quickly.

After half an hour, he stopped.

Because he clearly recognized a big stone on the roadside as the place where he spit.

Sure enough, I shouldn't believe those legends, they are unscientific.

Walking for half an hour in vain, how much gas was wasted...

Taking a deep breath, Lu Xin sat in the car, slowly lit a cigarette, and began to think about a scientific solution.

First, let me clearly summarize the problem I am encountering today: I am trying to beat the wall.

The description of the problem is that without being aware of it, the person keeps walking in circles somewhere.

The core of the problem: There is a "ghost" that disrupts my thinking and perception...

It can be inferred from this that the method to solve the "ghost wall" problem is:

Find the ghost!

"Uncle, aren't you an experienced driver? How can you still get lost?"

Also under the light of this Crimson Moon, a modified truck was moving slowly and slowly. In the car, a middle-aged man with a beard, wearing a pair of dirty underwear on his head, slapped the map on the driver's board and cursed:

"You can't see anything on the broken map..."

"It must be that you didn't mark the map carefully. Otherwise, why can't you find the way back to the camp when you clearly returned the same way?"

"..."

"Didn't you see that I marked everything carefully on the map?"

Sitting in the passenger seat next to him was a young man wearing a denim shirt, who was also wearing a pair of underwear. He said unconvincedly, "The only one to blame is you. If we search a few villages while it's still dark, how many things can be found in this small shabby village?"

"It's better now. We can't get out and get back to the camp. Do you think the car won't be waiting for us?"

"..."

"Even if we wait, we still have to deal with it..."

The middle-aged man muttered in annoyance, frowned and looked out the car window. "What a damn evil sect. Did you really encounter a ghost and hit the wall?"

"Don't talk about ghosts at night, bah bah bah..."

The young man in the passenger seat trembled slightly and spat out a few times. Then he turned around, quietly pulled the underpants covering his head, and said, "Uncle, is your method of wearing underwear on top of your head easy to use? It hasn't changed for a long time..."

"It's just that the smell is getting stronger..."

"..."

"That's what our ancestors said..."

The middle-aged man also looked puzzled. "Could it be that the ghosts after Crimson Moon don't understand the rules of our ancestors?"

The young man was stunned when he heard these vain words, and said with a sad face, "How about we... leave at dawn?"

"No, never..."

The middle-aged man shook his head hurriedly and said, "It's fine if I keep walking in this crappy place. But when I stop, I get flustered..."

"Then..."

When the young man heard this, he was confused and looked forward in confusion.

"Let's go, keep going!"

The middle-aged man cursed fiercely, "When I beat crazy people back then, I could always hit him with one shot."

"Now I still don't fucking believe it, I can't get out!"

"..."

The truck extravagantly stepped on the accelerator, swayed, and rushed forward along the path.

However, the energy that had just been raised quickly dissipated.

Under the illumination of the car lights, they saw a crooked-neck tree growing in front of the winding road.

There are obvious marks of ax cuts on it, which are very eye-catching.

This was the first time they noticed the markings they made while walking in circles.

"What can we do..."

The young man turned to look at the middle-aged man. "Uncle, if you keep driving like this, you will almost run out of gas..."

"Please let me slow down first..."

The middle-aged man let out a deep breath and said, "Is there any other way to get out?"

"Swearing?"

"Spit three times behind you?"

"Having a knife on you makes you look more fierce? Hell, I even have a gun. Isn't that fierce enough?"

"..."

The young man said tremblingly, "Is it possible that the ghosts after Crimson Moon are too traditional and only recognize swords but not guns?"

I recommend a book to everyone, "I Am the True Invincible in the World"

Just drive, you have to cover yourself up with reasoning and comedy, wandering on the edge of 404. It was a little deliberate and unfamiliar in the early stage, but it started to get better around the time it was put on the shelves. It's worth watching.
