Liu Ying self-deprecatingly pointed to the top of his head. "Look at my lifespan. Do you think I came here years ago and have been trapped for over seven years?"
Yun Zhi Yue raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that the case?"
"No, I've been trapped for a year."
I must say, this revelation was truly shocking. Being trapped for a year—what on earth was Gui Jing doing?
As Liu Ying continued, Yun Zhi Yue began to understand the gist of it. The time in Gui Jing was unpredictable; tourist groups would come in, but if there were no trapped travelers, the countdown on their lifespans wouldn’t start. Once it did, there was no turning back. Every day their lifespan would be consumed, and it wasn’t just a fixed amount; it could be one day or even more, all depending on inadvertently touching the rules.
In Yu City, there were Gui Jing Yao Kong, and players and guides were frantically killing each other for their lifespans. When someone was on the brink of death, hunting down players and guides would yield their lifespans.
So, the guides were quite unfortunate. In this Gui Jing, the lives of guides were tied to those of their tourists. If an entire group perished, the guide would certainly die as well. However, tourists could plunder the lifespans of guides.
Even more tragic was that this Gui Jing seemed to harbor a particular hatred for guides. From what Liu Ying had observed over the past year, not a single guide had met a good end; most had been brutally slaughtered by Gui Jing.
After hearing all this, Yun Zhi Yue's lips twitched. "This is really going to get me killed!"
Looking at it this way, her initial binding with Song Huai must have been for some reason? She was even restricted from resisting.
Damn it, this Eerie Game really wanted her dead!
As if sensing Yun Zhi Yue's frustration, Song Huai sympathetically stroked her cheek. Their intimate gesture surprised Liu Ying, who suddenly remembered something and his eyes flickered with a hint of darkness before he quickly concealed it.
"You’re not attacking us but instead saying all this—it feels like you’re trying to gain favor. What do you want?" Song Huai asked directly.
Liu Ying got straight to the point: "The reason I’ve survived here for a year isn’t just luck; I don’t need your help either. Recently, players in Yu City have discovered something."
He mentioned that there was a way to crack Gui Jing, requiring three people to team up. As a lone wolf, no one would believe him; you two are human and pose relatively less of a threat to me.
Song Huai understood. "Got it. Teaming up is fine, but let’s clarify what this method is first."
Liu Ying pulled out a triangular piece of Dark Red Metal. "This is metal from the Eerie Game Bus. After extensive research by everyone, we found that the metal from the Dark Red Bus can contain that murderous Red Umbrella."
It requires someone to hold it down with mental power. Basic tests have shown that each person can suppress it for three hours and then rest for six hours before proceeding to the next round.
In other words, we need teammates. When one of us suppresses the Red Umbrella, the other two will hunt and guard. After three hours, we will rotate. By the time the third person takes over, the first person will have just recovered.
Yun Zhi Yue clicked her tongue. "Wow, you guys have taken down a lot. It seems there are quite a few teams that have been wiped out."
This is about finding the Red Umbrella as a stepping stone. How many people does a team need to proceed to the next step?
Liu Ying sighed with a bitter smile. "A team needs ten weapons to qualify for the next phase. I’ve heard that the Red Umbrella can fuse with something, but I’m not sure about the specifics."
Song Huai lowered his head and started eating a sandwich, adding, "Hurry up and eat; we need to get moving after this."
Yun Zhi Yue rolled her eyes. What difference does it make whether she eats or not? She randomly took a bite of the sandwich.
Uh, it’s actually pretty good. This woman has some decent cooking skills.
Half an hour later, the shop pulled down its roller shutter, and the three of them stepped into the crowd.
Yun Zhi Yue stood under her umbrella in the rain, looking grim. Finding a deadly umbrella meant battle was imminent; what a tiring life this is.
