Seeing that he agreed, Duan Xu turned around.

"I can only block them for three minutes, and don't waste time anymore."

As soon as Duan Xu finished speaking, Zhao Wei and Meng Yue immediately reacted. They didn't care about it and immediately got into the tree hole and went underground.

Listening to the movements coming from behind, Duan Xu had no emotions on his face. He stared quietly at the three ghosts who were being entangled by evil ghosts in front of him.

This result is indeed very powerful. It was completely stumbled to the ground and was chasing the three ghosts. Its weirdness and terror were far higher than those three ghosts, but... no matter how many times it swallowed them, Duan Xu and the other two would appear again.

This seems to be a limitation. The evil ghost in the knot can only stop the ghost at most, but cannot remove it.

This is a very simple logic. Since the train will allow knots to exist, it means that it will not break the existing balance. A knot can erase all the weirdness, which is impossible. After all, it is just a trump card for saving lives, not a way to pass the level.

Duan Xu withdrew his gaze and turned around.

He left the locust tree and continued to walk up the mountain.

Zhao Wei said just now, he understood.

In fact, he just understood what Duan Xu wanted him to understand.

The risk of going underground to find knots will never be small. If Meng Yue and Zhao Wei are arranged to go in without reason, they will definitely refuse.

But Duan Xu found a reason they could not refuse.

That is, he is responsible for stopping the ghost.

In fact, he doesn't need to be present to stop the ghost, because the ghost in the knot is not controlled by him at all, and it doesn't matter whether he is present or not. He can leave the ground and go down to the ground.

But Meng Yue and Zhao Wei didn't know that although Duan Xu did not say it clearly, he was vaguely expressing the need for him to be present to control the knot and stop the ghost. If such words were said explicitly, they would cause suspicion. In this way, Zhao Wei and Meng Yue would be easier to believe.

Meng Yue's knot requires the presence of a opposite sex, and when activated, the opposite sex must be within her sight, which means that Duan Xu and Zhao Wei must have one follow her.

Duan Xu felt that he had done enough at this station, and he locked the connection position, so it was time for Zhao Wei to make some contribution.

What's more important is that he noticed Zhao Wei's expression.

Zhao Wei seemed to...be aimed at him.

Although Duan Xu knew that this "targeting" was not malicious, this kind of dependence should not appear.

In such a place, Duan Xu himself does not have the confidence to survive, so how can he protect Zhao Wei?

Even if I save him once, what about the next time?

Zhao Wei could not arrive at every stop at the same time as Duan Xu, so his dependence and weakness must be eliminated, otherwise he would be in danger.

Duan Xu stopped and looked back. The evil ghost was still entangled with them. At this time... three minutes had passed.

He hoped that Zhao Wei would really understand what he said.

If he could make up his mind and do it as Duan Xu suggested, three minutes, plus Meng Yue's five minutes, it would be enough to obtain a knot.

Zhao Wei is a very ordinary person, and Duan Xu can see his ordinaryness at a glance.

If he wants to survive in this world, he must not pin his hopes on others.

"Zhao Wei...Is your awareness... enough?"

Duan Xu murmured that the script had been written for Zhao Wei, and whether to do it like that is completely in Zhao Wei's hands...

...

Meng Yue and Zhao Wei got into the underground cave.

The cave is extremely narrow, only one person on the left and right, and not more than one meter up and down. An adult can only bend over the cave, or even crawl.

Not only that, there was no light at all in the cave. Meng Yue immediately turned on the flashlight that Duan Xu gave her when she came down, and then turned it on and shone it forward.

Very humid...

A drop of water dripped from the hole wall and penetrated into Meng Yue's neck, causing her to chill.

She and Zhao Wei bent their waists and walked forward with difficulty.

"Have you been three minutes?"

Meng Yue asked nervously.

"No...no...no...no...no, Duan Xu should be able to hold on for a while." Zhao Wei stuttered a little, his nerves were very tense, not only because of the words Duan Xu said before leaving, but also because of the reason why he was walking behind Meng Yue at this moment.

What if... the three ghosts on the ground have broken through the obstruction and drilled into the hole? Now he is the first to be affected...

After hearing Zhao Wei's voice, Meng Yue felt a little calmer.

Of course she knew it wasn't three minutes yet, but she always wanted to say something to distract herself.

She was very scared, afraid that a flashlight suddenly appeared in front of the hole to a terrifying face.

Fortunately... although this cave is wet and dark, nothing scary has appeared yet.

However, the more Meng Yue and Zhao Wei climbed forward, the more difficult it felt.

They were already embarrassed by the wet soil, and what's even more terrible is that the hole is getting shorter and shorter. From the beginning, they could bend forward with their waists, and now they can only kneel down and crawl forward.

And every time they move forward, both sides of their bodies will be rubbed by the walls, making unsettling noises.

The atmosphere of the cave is becoming more and more depressing.

Both of them stopped talking.

Even... they began to become suspicious.

After all, it was just Duan Xu's speculation that he was born under this locust tree. What if he was wrong?

Then aren't they surely buried underground?

No……

More likely this was a conspiracy!

In order to get more rewards for the number of days, Duan Xu tricked them into death! Yes... he didn't even come down...

The more they thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong.

The more you think about it, the more panic and fear you will feel.

Meng Yue was frightened every time she crawled. She always felt that a terrifying ghost would pop up in front of her at any time.

"Do you... feel..." Meng Yue couldn't help but speak.

"Duan Xu is lying to us?" Zhao Wei took the words she didn't finish.

Meng Yue stopped, turned to look at Zhao Wei, and nodded.

"It's not yet three minutes, and it's still time for us to quit quickly. The more I think about it, the more wrong it is... If there is really a knot below, why would he ask me to get this knot?" Meng Yue said as he made him guess uneasy.

"I can't see through him. His thinking is too prone to go off. Even his personality is changing. He won't... be a split personality, right? Maybe one of his personality is kind, but what about the other? Maybe that personality is deceiving us..." Meng Yue felt that she had guessed something and said quickly.

Zhao Wei was moved by her.

He also had the same doubts as Meng Yue in his heart. Now that Meng Yue said this, he even more confused about Duan Xu's behavior.

Maybe... he is really unbelievable...

"Okay, it's not too late for us to go back for a while. The knot in the cave under the tree is just his one-sided statement. After we check it out, it's not too late to come again!" Zhao Wei finally nodded.

Seeing him nodding, Meng Yue also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait... we can't turn around here, so we retreated and crawled towards the exit one after another, and turned around when we could bend and stand up." Zhao Wei said.

However, when he just took a step back, a sentence suddenly flashed through his mind!

"I'll leave it to you."
