Everyone's playing hide-and-seek: This crazy beauty has maxed-out third eyes.

As soon as Lina finished speaking, Lydia immediately shook her head.

She hid the dark red book behind her back and started spouting Russian words at an astonishing speed.

Lina quickly pulled her back: "Speak slowly."

Lydia stopped what she was doing and slowly explained.

Lina listened and nodded, then turned to look at Lin Sui'an.

"Sui'an, she disagrees."

She said you're the strongest fighter among us.

"Now you have transformed into the form of a strange tree."

"Just in case this Book of True Names works for you."

"Will the game directly designate you as a target for this round, and then have you surrounded and attacked by other ice trees?"

"Or it could trigger assimilation within the game system, turning you into a true monster."

Lina swallowed hard. "We can't afford the consequences."

Sergei stood to the side and nodded in agreement.

"right."

"Too dangerous."

Lin Sui'an's massive body swayed twice, and the branches covered with thorns drooped down in mid-air.

She felt that this concern was a bit unnecessary. None of the props she had used so far had ever caused any problems beyond the prop's instructions, and besides, she also had a substitute doll.

However, since Lydia is unwilling, then so be it.

It's better to be safe than sorry; she has a scapegoat, but they don't.

Lin Sui'an thought for a moment, then poked the tip of a branch into the tree hole. He hadn't had time to look at the two props he had just opened.

Take it out and have a look; maybe it can be used in conjunction with Lydia's book.

The end of the branch curled out into a plaque with a dark gold border. The plaque's surface was pitted and uneven, and several blurry symbols were engraved on it.

Lin Sui'an lifted it into the air.

[A damaged token.]

[Useless junk.]

Lin Sui'an stared at the instructions floating in the air, the lush branches frozen in mid-air.

Useless garbage?

She ran to snatch the box, watching as several people's brains were smashed out, and even performed an extreme transformation right under the ice tree's nose.

That's it?

In order to collect enough bait for three fishing trips, the game is even willing to stuff such scrapped things into it?

This crappy game must be broke, right?

The branch suddenly swung through the air, and the token was thrown back into the depths of the tree hole.

It's fake, it's definitely fake!

She controlled another slender branch, which coiled out the black sphere, which was only the size of a fist.

Its surface gleamed with a murky, dark light.

The properties panel pops up again.

[Looking at the crystal sphere.]

[It allows glimpses into the most profound memories of the bizarre person before their death.]

[This can only be used once per round of the game.]

[How to use: Take it out when you are within two meters of the strange object; it will take effect automatically.]

[Note: If multiple strange entities are present, one will be randomly selected.]

Looking at memories? You can see the names, right?

Lin Sui'an swung his body, the sharp edges of the leaves scraping against each other, making a piercing sound.

Lina and Sergei instinctively took a half step back.

Lin Sui'an ignored them. A thick branch slowly descended, its sharp thorns pressing against the damp, muddy ground.

She pressed down hard, scraping the ground.

"Sizzle."

The soil was churned up, leaving deep furrows, about half a finger's width deep.

The three people next to him held their breath and stared intently at the ground.

Lin Sui'an's writing is a bit crooked, but the characters are large enough.

"Look at eerie memories."

Five Chinese characters are deeply imprinted in the soil.

"You can see bizarre memories?" Lina asked in surprise.

He immediately looked up at the black sphere that Lin Sui'an was hovering in mid-air.

"Sui'an, is this the item you just got?"

Lin Sui'an's branch touched the air.

Lina grabbed Lydia and quickly translated the words on the ground and Lin Sui'an's meaning.

After listening to the translation, Lydia turned her head sharply. She stared at the black ball in Lin Sui'an's hand, then looked down at the dark red book she was holding.

"name!"

"The name...it's in there!"

Sergei realized what was happening, and he stepped forward, pointing to the words on the ground.

"Memory...True Name...Book...Command!"

The three people exchanged a glance.

feasible!

Once the monster's true name is known, the Book of True Names will take effect immediately.

Lin Sui'an continued to write on a flat patch of mud next to the pit.

"You guys hide, I'll go try."

After writing the six characters, he pulled the branch back and patted the leaves covering the area next to him.

The meaning is very straightforward.

Hurry back into the pit and hide.

Lina stood up, knowing that she couldn't help with her skill level and that going out would only cause trouble for the team.

"Sui'an, then be careful."

She turned to pull up the branches and soil that had covered the pit, preparing to lead the way back into the hole.

Lydia stood still, hesitated for a moment, then strode up to Lin Sui'an and looked up at the ice tree that required looking up at it.

He picked up the book, "The Book of True Names," with both hands and handed it over forcefully.

"Forest."

"Take it."

The dark red patterns on the book cover intertwined in the dim light.

Lydia's idea was simple: since only two core items were in Lin Sui'an's hands, it would be most convenient to coordinate them.

The moment you see a memory, as long as you confirm the name, you can control it with the book.

She held the book, but it was useless.

The thickest branch above Lin Sui'an's head swayed.

Messing around.

She no longer has a human form; her entire body is just a hard, spiky wooden pole covered in barbs.

It doesn't even have a mouth, so how can I call out names when I open the book? How can I give orders? And who's responsible if I accidentally tear the book?

Lin Sui'an used a branch to knock the book from Lydia's hand back into her arms.

Lin Sui'an didn't intend to waste any time, so he turned his massive body around and prepared to leave.

It would automatically activate within two meters. She planned to just find a lone ice tree, since it was just a test of the actual use of these two props anyway.

He had only crawled two steps forward when he heard a flurry of footsteps behind him, and a hand grabbed a thin branch that Lin Suian was dragging behind him.

Lin Sui'an stopped the root system, turned the trunk to look back, and Lydia was standing below.

Her blonde hair was scattered on both sides of her face, which was covered with half-dried black mud marks.

She gripped the tree branch tightly with one hand and clutched the "Book of True Names" in the other, looking up at the mottled patterns on Lin Sui'an's tree trunk.

"I'm going..."

Lydia cleared her throat and slowly repeated it.

"I'll go with you..."

The leaves on Lin Sui'an's head curled up, and before she could react, Lydia continued to spout words.

"Look...

"I'm flipping through books."

"I drank... a speed potion."

"Run fast."

Lydia pointed to herself, meaning she wouldn't be a burden.

Lin Sui'an stretched out a branch and quickly drew two characters on the soil.

"It's in the way."

Lina leaned over and quickly translated for Lydia.

Lydia didn't back down; she held up the book: "Lin, I can."

Then he launched into a long, rambling speech.

Lina quickly translated: "She said that since you are unwilling to accept the Book of True Names, she wants to set off with you. She also said that you are holding the ball and triggering memories, and once she knows the name, she can immediately use the Book of True Names."

She added that if they were in real danger, she could run away on her own and would never be a burden to him.

"She doesn't want to always hide behind you; she wants to grow alongside you and fight side by side."

Lina blushed as she translated this. She felt like she had been hiding behind Sui An all along. No, no, she had to work hard too, or she would fall behind!

Lin Sui'an stared at the book Lydia was holding in mid-air and saw the determination in her eyes.

But... she used a twig to write four large characters on the ground.

Language barrier.

Lina scratched her head and looked at Lydia: "Oh right! Sui'an can't speak right now, so even if she writes her name down for you, you won't understand it."

"Furthermore, spying requires being within two meters. If Sui'an takes you to look at the memories, you will definitely be discovered by the other trees. Then the other trees will find out that Sui'an didn't kill you, which might expose Sui'an! You'd better stay here with us and hide."

Lydia felt ashamed upon hearing this. She only wanted to help Lin and hadn't considered that she might also bring him risks.

She put the book away and waved to Lin Sui'an: "Lin, I'll be waiting for you."

Lina, lying on the ground, looked up and shouted, "Sui'an, be careful!"

"If there's any problem, come this way, we'll be waiting for you!"

Lin Sui'an did not respond and began to advance at full speed towards the northern forest.

Three corpses swayed around the tree trunk, and in the distance, several mournful screams could be faintly heard.
