Azure Files, the starting point of all miracles

Chapter 207: Seniors Who Are One Step Behind

As the power of the mountain god of Daluo Mountain began to weaken, Daluo Mountain had begun to be eroded by mountain ghosts.

Tourists who mistakenly enter the mountain can only climb to the top to obtain the protection of the mountain god and avoid being harassed by mountain ghosts.

However, under the manipulation of an unknown pair of hands, this path to redemption has become the biggest lie...

----

After checking all the luggage, Xiyu set out on the Daluo Mountain Climbing Trail under the staff's deep gaze.

It was from the moment he stepped into this area that he keenly sensed that a force had enveloped him.

This unknown force had no malicious intent. It seemed like a pure bystander, just standing aside and watching silently.

However, Xiyu did not dare to be careless at all.

Because the flesh and blood of "it" that Xiyu swallowed in the zoo had some invisible effect on her body, Xiyu has a more acute sense of these unknown existences.

Rather than saying that this force has no malice, it is better to say that it is absolute self-confidence.

I am confident that everyone who steps into this area will eventually become its slave.

So, it doesn't need to do anything but wait.

All they have to do is wait, and these ignorant people, like piglets in a farm, will fall into the embrace of the abyss one after another...

*Confident?

Xiyu murmured, with a glimmer of light in her eyes.

"Confidence" is a good thing.

Whether it is for it or for myself...

I took a step towards the road ahead. Even though there was the sun right above my head, I couldn't feel any warmth at all.

Gradually, Xiyu's figure disappeared at the end of the road...

----

Shengya: "It's finally started..."

Shengya: "Knowing that it is impossible to do something, I still took a step forward resolutely."

Shengya: “Teacher——”

At this moment, Shengya recalled what Xiyu had said to her during the Treaty of Eden.

----

People will grow up three times in this life.

The first time was when I discovered that I was not the center of the world.

The second time was when I discovered that no matter how hard I tried, there was still something that was powerless.

The third time was when I knew that something might be powerless, but I still tried my best to fight for it.

----

In fact, Xiyu later proved what he said with his actions.

Let Shengya see that the so-called fate is not irreversible.

And now, seeing Xiyu from the past embarking on this familiar road, Shengya couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

She wanted to witness it all.

I want to take another look at how the teacher confronts the “impossible” with actions.

On the other side, Weihua fell into silence, which was rare.

Seeing this scene, Nagisa couldn't help but feel a little surprised: after all, her childhood friend had always been the most lively among the three of them.

"Mihua, what's wrong with you?"

"Why has it suddenly become so quiet?"

"Huh? Nothing, I just feel a little weird."

Weihua blinked, smiled and shook her head to indicate that she was fine, then pointed to the edge of the screen.

"Over there, it seems like a car passed by earlier?"

"If I remember correctly, Mount Daluo should have been closed a long time ago. Why are there still tourists going up the mountain through the driveway?"

Nagisa: “?”

Am I dreaming?

Weihua actually started thinking?

"..."

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Nagisa felt that he needed to use this method to calm down.

However, it is indeed as Weihua said, Mount Daluo has been closed, so why are there still vehicles going up the mountain?

----

Unfortunately, no one can answer the girls' questions now.

At this time, Xiyu had already crossed the yellow warning line one hundred steps away from the starting point.

That strange feeling became more obvious since Xiyu crossed the yellow warning line.

Somehow, Xiyu always felt that something was following him.

A familiar voice seemed to come to my ears.

It was trying to make Xiyu turn back.

At the same time, Xiyu also noticed two signboards nearby.

Just like the information given to him by his superiors, the metal sign used a very standard sentence structure, and as far as he could see, there was nothing unusual.

But another wooden sign hanging on a tree by the road was a bit strange: not only did it say that the on-duty personnel would not provide assistance, but it also consciously reminded climbers not to look back.

For Xiyu, who is an insider, there is nothing wrong with this hint.

But if it were tourists who knew nothing about all this, it would likely make them feel uneasy.

After all, the current atmosphere in Daluo Mountain is enough to make people nervous.

*One move away from winning...

Xiyu sighed secretly in his heart, then suddenly exerted force and kicked the metal sign in front of him away.

Seeing this scene, many students of Kivotos showed surprised expressions.

Xiao Tao: "Why did the teacher destroy the metal sign?"

Xiao Tao: "Obviously the weird one should be the wooden sign~"

"Sister, you haven't paid any attention to the previous intelligence at all..."

Xiaolu looked at her sister's silly face and sighed helplessly: "The metal sign was left there intentionally by the mastermind to mislead others."

Yuzu: "I wonder if you noticed the phone number left on the metal sign."

Xiao Tao: “?”

Xiao Tao: "xxxxxxxxxxxx?"

"Eleven digits, this is obviously a private phone number. Generally speaking, a private phone number with eleven digits would not be used as a contact number for someone in a public place."

Yuzu also explained at this time: "Instead, they will use a landline phone number in the format of xxxx (area code)-xxxxxxxx (section number) with twelve digits."

"So... is that so?" Xiao Tao blinked her eyes in a naive manner.

Alice looked at Yuzu with admiration: "Yuzu, you know so much~"

"Bang Bang Ka Bang, Alice has learned new knowledge and gained experience points~"

"No...nothing."

Yuzu waved her hands a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I just learned a little bit about it when I was playing a puzzle game before..."

Do this for the sake of playing the game.

After Xiaotao and Xiaolu looked at each other, there was a hint of surprise in their eyes when they looked at Yuzu.

"As expected of the legendary strongest gamer UZQueen!" ×2

Chapter 208: Mountain Ghost Attacks

After destroying the signboard left by the mastermind, Xiyu continued walking towards the mountain trail ahead.

It's strange to say, according to the higher-ups, Mount Daluo has been closed for some time, but this hiking trail doesn't show any signs of desolation at all.

It seems that there are still many people walking back and forth on this road every day.

Or maybe it was not a person moving around, but something else...

"..."

Just as Xiyu was concentrating on thinking about the matters that needed to be prepared and the route for worshiping the mountain god, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the front.

With a hint of vigilance, Xiyu raised his head and saw a tourist with a mountaineering bag running hurriedly down the road ahead.

His expression was panicked and his steps were unsteady, as if something was chasing him from behind.

After seeing Xiyu's figure, the man ran to Xiyu as if he had seen a savior.

"Help—help!"

"Don't come near..."

Just when the other party was less than two meters away from him, Xiyu suddenly took out a dagger and pointed it at the man in front of him.

After seeing this weapon flashing with cold light, his panicked expression suddenly froze and he stopped immediately.

"I...I mean no harm."

"I just want to ask for help..."

"There's...there's a strange thing chasing me!"

"Strange thing?" Xiyu frowned slightly: "What is it?"

"It's a human—! No! It's something that looks like a human but it's not a human!"

He panted and spoke incoherently: "I don't know, I don't know anything, why did this happen to me... I just wanted to take a vacation..."

Xiyu: “…”

Seeing this man's extremely nervous look, Xiyu pondered for a moment, put down the dagger in his hand, took out a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to him.

"Have a drink and relax."

"Thank you... thank you..."

Perhaps because he had caught his breath a little, the man's voice gradually recovered.

"You are such a good person..."

He took the bottle of water from Xiyu's hand.

"Since I came to this place, the people here have always been very strange, whether they are the staff of the scenic area or the local villagers..."

"Local villagers?"

After hearing these words, Xiyu's expressionless face showed a slight fluctuation.
