“Cooperation, of course, no problem, but how do you want to cooperate?”

　　Bai crossed her long legs, lightly resting her chin on one hand, blinking her eyes at Tang.

　　Tang didn’t seem to like Bai’s scrutiny, she slightly frowned.

　　Her intuition told her that this Bai... was not a newbie.

　　People who were not newbies, were usually not easy to fool.

　　“Cooperation... is also very simple.”

　　“Our top priority right now is to find a way out of this blood gate within six hours.”

　　“Before we entered, I think everyone got the tips on the blood gate, but just relying on these tips, it is impossible to leave alive, we need to gather more clues.”

　　“And the clues... are in the various tourist attractions in the village.”

　　Here, Tang looked at the silent crowd, her tone firm and unquestionable:

　　“I propose that we form teams of two or three people, and go to different tourist attractions. If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to gather all the clues within one or two hours!”

　　“This is currently the safest way to find a way out!”

　　“The faster we find a way out, the fewer people we will lose!”

　　After she finished speaking, one of the girls in the crowd immediately asked timidly:

　　“Then... will those attractions... be haunted by ghosts?”

　　Everyone looked at her, this girl was Fang.

　　She was quite timid.

　　She stayed in her room all day, only going out of the guesthouse for meals.

　　Tang said indifferently:

　　“This is the world behind the blood gate. What about you?”

　　Fang heard this and her face turned pale immediately.

　　“Then... then can I not go...”

　　Her voice was already filled with a hint of crying, but Tang didn't show any mercy, she said coldly:

　　“Of course you can.”

　　“However, since you don’t want to go, we can also not share the clues that we risk our lives to find.”

　　Hearing this, Fang immediately panicked:

　　“No... I, I’ll go! I’ll go!”

　　Although she was a newbie, she had experienced one blood gate, and she understood what clues meant, and what would happen without them…

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

　　In the blood gate, everyone is doomed to die!

　　Only by finding a way out, is there a chance to survive!

　　Seeing no opposition, Tang nodded in satisfaction.

　　“Since everyone agrees, then, let’s form teams and go look for clues... it will be dark here around 7 pm, but don't worry, as long as we come back to the guesthouse before 12 , we should be relatively safe from danger!”

　　In fact, by now, everyone who wanted to form teams had already done so, the remaining two or three people who weren’t in a team automatically formed their own team.

　　“We have eight people left, a total of three teams, we’ve already been to Fangcun Pond, the clue from that spot has been obtained, you don’t need to go there.”

　　“There are four attractions left, discuss among yourselves, each team goes to one attraction today. If you come back late, we’ll hold a meeting in the cafeteria tomorrow to exchange clues.”

　　As soon as Tang finished speaking, Bai lazily said:

　　“We’ve also been to one attraction and obtained important clues.”

　　“Oh? Where did you go?”

　　“The Temple of Binding Nightmares.”

　　As soon as Bai finished speaking, a strange light flashed in Tang's eyes, and she made a very unreasonable request:

　　“In that case, you should go to another important attraction to find clues this afternoon.”

　　As soon as she said this, Liu immediately couldn’t sit still anymore, he glared and said:

　　“Why?!”

　　“Why don’t you go?”

　　Tang crossed her arms and said coldly:

　　“You want to know why?”’

　　“Okay, I’ll tell you why.”

　　“First, the clue I got is in Fangcun Pond, it’s the furthest attraction from the guesthouse, it takes almost two hours to get there and back. This means that there is the greatest chance of something going wrong, the journey is the most dangerous!”

　　“Second... we actually decided to go to the Temple of Binding Nightmares this afternoon.”

　　“I’ve already taken the lead in doing the most dangerous thing, and I’m going to help you check if anything is missing... Is it fair to ask you to go to one more attraction to look for clues?”

　　Liu wanted to retort, but was stopped by Ning.

　　The latter motioned for him to shut up.

　　Bai, however, pursed her lips and smiled:

　　“Fair… Fair enough.”

　　“So that’s settled then.”

　　After everyone discussed for a while, Bai decided to go to the Inexhaustible Well in the afternoon.

　　That well, was the well water that sustained the villagers of the entire village during the drought that year.

　　It was also the furthest attraction from the guesthouse, second only to Fangcun Pond, only half a kilometer away from Fangcun Pond.

　　After everyone dispersed, Liu said dissatisfiedly:

　　“Why?!?”

　　“That woman acts like she’s in charge of everyone, she’s so annoying!”

　　Bai said:

　　“Do you want to live or die?”

　　Liu:

　　“Of course I want to live!”

　　Bai:

　　“Then don’t talk nonsense, follow me.”

　　Liu stared with wide eyes:

　　“Wait, I’ve noticed you two are so easy to bully, you’re afraid of ghosts, but also afraid of people...”

　　He didn’t finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Ning:

　　“That woman named Tang is lying.”

　　Liu's aggressive aura paused, he froze:

　　“Huh… lying? Bro, how did you figure that out?”

　　Ning’s gaze was sharp:

　　“Record the time, after we go to the Inexhaustible Well, you’ll understand.”

　　Liu looked at his watch, and suddenly understood.

　　“Bro, you mean... that woman named Tang never went to Fangcun Pond?!”

　　Bai also spoke:

　　“Think about it, where did she have the time?”

　　“The trip takes almost two hours back and forth, and this is assuming nothing goes wrong.”

　　“We spent the entire morning just going to the Temple of Binding Nightmares, do you think Tang went to Fangcun Pond in the dark last night?”

　　“If not, then she wouldn’t have had the time, because we saw her outside the guesthouse this morning when we went out for breakfast!”

　　Liu now understood completely, this woman named Tang had deceived everyone, she was using them as pawns!

　　“Holy crap… she’s using us as pawns?!”

　　Liu’s temper flared, and he let out a curse.

　　“I’m afraid it’s not that simple, she’s deceived and concealed more than just this from us...”

　　“This woman has a lot of problems!”

　　Bai’s cold words made the two beside her shiver.

　　Liu swallowed:

　　“Bai, what else have you discovered?”

　　Bai shook her head and smiled:

　　“If I told you that the three people who died at the Temple of Binding Nightmares and went to the back mountain were probably all ordered by her…”

　　Liu’s pupils constricted, his eyes filled with shock.

　　“Holy crap… this wicked woman!”

　　“Why would she do this?”
