It was only when they got back on this unoccupied bus that the Ning Qiushui duo truly breathed a sigh of relief.
"We ... we survived, right?"
Bearded Liu Chengfeng gasped for air, looking through the window glass of the bus at the terrifyingly long and skinny female ghost in the distance after she had entered the villa, before he was shocked to find that his legs were as weak as mud.
"Yes."
Ning Qiushui returned.
Then, both of them did not speak again.
After five days, the seven people originally carried on this bus were now only two people left.
Liu Chengfeng felt that there was an inexplicable emptiness in his heart.
He didn't have much affection with the others, but seeing themHaving died so miserably in front of his own eyes, it was hard not to feel a sense of a rabbit's death.
Because, he too had once been so close to death.
Without Ning Qiushui, he would have ended up more or less the same as everyone else.
Soon after the two of them boarded the bus, the bus closed its doors and slowly drove off.
Soon, they were once again travelling through the curtain of rain into the mist.
The duo was so disorientated that they fell asleep on the bus.
When they woke up once more, it was already early the next morning.
Ning Qiushui twisted his stiff body and looked towards the outside of the car.
They had actually arrived outside the small black villa courtyard.
"Hey, bearded man, wake up."
Ning Qiushui planed Liu Chengfeng, the latter had a jolt and exclaimed.
"Ghost! Ghosts are coming!"
"Run!"
Ning Qiushui looked at Liu Chengfeng with his teeth and claws speechlessly, thinking that this guy was really miserable, even if he was being chased by ghosts in the Blood Gate mission, he still had to work 'overtime' in his dreams.
Only after confirming that the person beside him was Ning Qiushui did Liu Chengfeng wipe a handful of sweat from his own face, gasping for breath and saying.
"Little brother, you scared me to death!"
Ning Qiushui pointed at the small black courtyard outside and said.
"Get out of the car, we're here."
The two got out of the car one after the other and walked into the black villa.
When they entered the hall again, they saw that there was only one person left here.
It was that particularly beautiful-looking teenager.
He looked like a porcelain doll, his skin was white and red, and his body was petite and thin, if he didn't speak, almost no one would be able to think that it would be a boy.
"Why are you alone?"
Liu Chengfeng frowned.
Seeing that the duo had returned alive from behind the Blood Gate, the teenager's attitude had clearly warmed up a lot from before.
"Uncle Yan had something to take care of and went back to the previous world, Sister Xiao Xiao went to bring the newcomers through the Blood Gate, and there's a posiCooking in the kitchen."
Ning Qiushui's eyes flickered.
"We're still able to return to the world before?"
The teenager fiddled with the coals in the fireplace.
"Why can't we?"
"If we can come by bus, we can naturally go back by bus."
"Ugh. ..."
He sighed as he spoke, rubbing a hand through his long hair.
"I am the one who hates this session the most, every time a newcomer comes, I have to explain so many, many things that my mouth is dry ... What's even more annoying is that sometimes I just gave them the rules today, and the next week they're dead."
"But you guys at least came out alive from the Blood Sect, so if there's anything you want to ask, hurry up and ask now."
The two looked at each other in disbelief, and after thinking for a moment, Ning Qiushui said.
"What's going on with the Blood Gate and the Mist?"
The teenager said.
"It's a curse."
"We are all cursed people, the mists are a separate world from the outside world, and the only way to come in and out is to take the bus in the world of the mists."
"The villa courtyard we are in is called the Trickster House, and there are many more Trickster Houses like ours in this Misty World, ditto for the Blood Gate."
"Every once in a while we have to enter behind the blood gateworld of horrors to complete the mission on Bloodgate, and do your best to survive while collecting as many puzzle pieces as you can."
"When the puzzle pieces come together in twelve, we'll be able to take the bus to the end of the Misty World with the complete puzzle."
The teenager said, pointing his finger towards a picture frame above the hall.
As the two looked, half of the puzzle had already been put together on this picture frame.
The portrait was, presumably, a rotting human head.
There was also an eye-like, bleeding bloody hole on the forehead part, which looked hideous!
"What's at the end of the Misty World?"
Ning Qiushui asked, and the teenager shrugged.
"I don't know about that, then."
"After all, none of us have ever been to that place."
"In addition, you should not blame us for being too cold ... in our attitude before After all, you also know that in this world, death is a commonplace thing, and if you really made a close friend, and he died in the world behind the Blood Gate, you will definitely feel very sad. "
The teenager's expression was a little suppressed as he spoke.
"Wasn't Guile She ... before?"
Ning Qiushui seemed to understand something, but before he could fully ask, he saw the teenager nod.
"Just before you guys came, about half a month or so, Uncle Mang, Uncle Yan's best friend, ... died behind the Blood Gate."
"And Sister Xiao Xiao's best friend Gardenia ... also followedMartyred."
"So actually, everyone is not in a good mood."
The duo thought back to when they had just entered the trick house, the heavy atmosphere of the hall at that time, and for a moment they were able to understand.
"Alright, it's time to eat soon, after eating, if you guys don't want to continue staying in this place, you can go to the stop sign outside the villa and wait for the bus."
"Wait until a week later, when it's time for you guys to enter the Blood Sect to carry out your second mission, the bus will come ahead to pick you up ..."
On the dining table, the four of them sat speechless against each other, burying their heads and eating hard.
"To be honest, your cooking skills really aren't that great ..."
Liu Chengfeng ate a few bites and couldn't help but spit out aSentence.
Meng Jun, who was cooking, looked up and gave Liu Chengfeng a cold look:
"You can pour it out if you don't like it, or you can do it yourself."
Liu Chengfeng, who was originally a big-headed person with a temper that wasn't very good, had wanted to dislike him back, however, when he met Meng Jun's eyes, he shrunk his neck.
Meng Jun's eyes were too terrifying.
In that instant, Liu Chengfeng even felt as if there was a knife on his neck!
He was almost certain that this man called Meng Jun ... had killed someone!
However, Liu Chengfeng wasn't someone who ate dumb losses, he stretched his neck and said:
"If you do it yourself, you do it yourself!"
"I'll put my words down here, from today onwards, I, Liu Chengfeng, am the head chef here, from now on, as long as I'm around, none of you are allowed to enter the kitchen, whatever you want to eat, I'll make it for you!"
He used a strong tone to say the most abysmal words.
Ning Qiushui couldn't help but smile.
Between meals, he learnt that there were still four old men left in this trickster house, Liang Yan was the head of the house, and was also the first to enter the trickster house.
The young man's name was Tian Xun, an orphan who was dependent on his sister.
Meng Jun is Liang Yan's best friend in the outside world, he used to be a soldier and went to war at the border.
The only one, the sultry beauty Bai Xiaoxiao, is very mysterious, and the people don't know anything about her identity, except that she's outside theThe world of ... is awesome.
During this time, Ning Qiushui had chatted about the matter about the red clothed female ghost inside their first blood door, who knew that Meng Jun and Tian Xun didn't say a word after listening to it.
"Not ... why aren't you guys talking?"
Seeing how silent the two were, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but yell.
Just as his words fell, Meng Jun picked up his dinner plate and walked towards the kitchen.
"I'm full."
He said indifferently.
However, both of them were able to detect Meng Jun's shift in attitude towards them.
This shift was very abrupt ...
It was as if spring, which had only just warmed up, had abruptly andInto the cold
