Lin Feng, disguising his voice with a gruff tone, barked, “What are you looking at? Look again and I’ll strip you and throw you to the wolves in the mountains. Move!” The five girls, intimidated by his vulgar threat, shivered and began to squeeze out of the cave. “Keep your eyes closed!” Lin Feng was worried that the time was too short for the ‘wild monsters” corpses to be refreshed, and if the girls saw the gruesome scene outside, they might be scared out of their wits. He warned them sternly. However, his approach lacked consideration; with their backs to him, how could he know if they had their eyes open? Moreover, the mountain path was rugged, and in such an unfamiliar environment, merely ordering them to close their eyes was unlikely to be heeded.
As they stumbled out of the cave, the expected screams did not arise. Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they were sensible, otherwise, if they got scared, he wouldn’t have the energy to care, and any psychological shadow would be their own doing. “Turn right, keep your right hand on the rock wall,” Lin Feng instructed Zhu Tingting, who was leading the way. However, as he emerged from the cave himself to check on everyone, his expression changed drastically.
The gruesome scene of bodies strewn across the mountain ridge was gone. Instead, there was bright sunlight, gentle mountain breezes, lush greenery, and patches of vibrant wildflowers covering the landscape. The horrific battlefield he had been so concerned about, which could scare the girls, was nowhere to be seen. All the corpses had vanished into thin air. At least the girl who had been brutally murdered wasn’t killed by him, yet her body was gone too… This suggested that he was not the only ‘player’ in this ‘game world.’ What did that mean? It meant there were others playing the role of players in this ‘game world.’ Was this… was this real?
