Yun Zhi Yue sighed, "This is Gui Jing, a place of insurmountable difficulty. We have no idea of the purpose, the circumstances, or how to get through; it's all too normal."
The bus came to a stop in the city center after her introduction to the sights, seemingly without any arrangements for accommodation.
As the doors opened, Yun Zhi Yue urged, "Everyone out. It's time to risk our lives."
The group hesitated, seemingly unable to bear the tension. Suddenly, the bus vanished into thin air, and everyone, including the guide, found themselves under a downpour.
Panic set in as they quickly wrapped their clothes around their heads and rushed towards a nearby store. Although there were people inside, they ignored the frantic knocking on the glass door and coldly watched as the rain began to corrode them.
Song Huai, Yu Yue, and Jiang Bai did not run away from the start; instead, they swiftly dispatched a passerby and seized a Crimson Umbrella to shield themselves from the corrosive rain.
The more frantic they became, the more mistakes they made. The players who initially ran towards the store began to pound on the door but soon realized that the pain of corrosion was doubling. By the time they reacted, it was too late; in an instant, their blood was washed away by the rainwater pooling on the ground.
Some who managed to react in time found that their exposed heads, faces, and arms were already mangled beyond recognition when they tried to grab an umbrella.
In just a few minutes after disembarking, one player had already perished while three others were left disfigured. This was Gui Jing; its difficulty was far beyond that of Hell Difficulty.
The three who had some Eerie Coins quickly exchanged them for healing ointments to apply on their faces. While it might not completely heal them, at least it would stabilize their injuries for now.
Yun Zhi Yue surveyed her surroundings and pointed to a nearby inn. "Let’s find a place to settle down. There’s an inn over there; the Red Umbrella should serve as proof of our identity in this city. One for each of us; let’s go."
At that moment, she was being held by Song Huai under one umbrella while still clutching another Crimson Umbrella that he had taken for her.
The other players had no objections; they couldn’t just stand in the rain.
Perhaps due to holding umbrellas, they entered smoothly without needing any identification for check-in. The owner casually asked how many rooms they needed.
With only ten people left including the guide, Yun Zhi Yue spoke up directly: "I’ll share a room with Song Huai; Bai Miao Miao can share with Jiang Bai; everyone else can decide among themselves."
Bai Miao Miao's expression shifted slightly as if she wanted to say something but thought better of it; she understood that Yun Zhi Yue wanted her to survive.
Yu Yue's discomfort was entirely expected by Yun Zhi Yue.
With a calm demeanor, she said, "If you think you can handle me and Song Huai together, then go ahead and try. If you lose, I’ll accept it; do as you wish. But if you’re unsure, then don’t waste your breath—just endure."
She pinched Song Huai's arm gently and signaled him to carry her upstairs quickly without sparing a glance at Yu Yue; she found her presence irritating.
The inn's rooms were decent—not luxurious but clean and tidy.
Once inside, Yun Zhi Yue struggled to get down but never let go of Song Huai's arm.
Song Huai glanced at where she was holding him but remained silent as he walked in the opposite direction from Yun Zhi Yue.
Yun Zhi Yue wanted to take a break, but Song Huai needed the bathroom.
"What are you doing?" Yun Zhi Yue asked, her head turning towards him.
"I'm going to the bathroom, taking a shower. Let go of my hand," Song Huai replied.
Yun Zhi Yue hesitated, not daring to release her grip. Gui Jing was quite fierce, and she certainly didn't want to be the first one taken out.
"Looks like there's going to be some drama," Gaga commented.
