This faint sound came from afar, like the joyful voices of children playing in the willow forest, but why did it send shivers down one’s spine?
And those voices were getting closer, obviously heading towards the three of them.
Ah Xing and Ah Wang’s hair stood on end, their bodies tensed, standing still, carefully controlling the balloon dolls to move forward.
While Su Hao waited with interest for the so-called strangeness to appear.
Before long, the things emitting the singing voices bounced and appeared beside the three fake people!
Ah Xing and Ah Wang’s hearts pounded wildly. Even Su Hao was stunned. He had thought of many possibilities, but never expected that these things would bounce over.
What did they see?
Hearts, livers, kidneys… various organs, either human or animal, with short, cute limbs growing out of them, running around on the ground, just like children playing and frolicking, with clear voices ringing out: “So scared! I want to escape~”
As they ran, the ground was stained with dripping blood, causing panic.
These ‘cuties’ curiously jumped around the three balloon dolls, leaving bloodstains behind. After seemingly having enough fun, they bounced away.
The three of them didn’t move, barely daring to breathe, until all these things disappeared, then they breathed a sigh of relief.
Ah Wang muttered, “What is this?”
Ah Xing shook his head indicating he didn’t know.
Su Hao said, “Wasn’t it said before that the organs of the two escaped Origin Mages disappeared? Maybe they turned into those things.”
Just the thought of his organs possibly running around happily in the woods made Ah Xing panic.
“It’s very possible!”
He thought for a moment, uncertainly saying, “This strange disaster is likely related to these things. The deadly effect triggered may be to dig out the organs from the abdomen…”
Just as Ah Xing finished speaking, a pig’s brain stepped forward with its uncle’s stride, walking past the three of them, seemingly pondering its existence.
Ah Xing and Ah Wang: “…”
Ah Xing immediately added, “Brains can run by themselves too!”
It wasn’t until now that Su Hao understood why people in this world referred to such disasters as ‘bizarre’. Wasn’t this scene exactly strange and abnormal?
Who has ever seen these messy things growing legs and running on the ground by themselves?
Su Hao pondered, if his own brain ran away, would there still be a way for the [Child of Fate]to grow back…
“It should… not be possible!”
If the brain is gone, it’s gone. Death couldn’t be any deader. Even if the [Child of Fate] grew back by itself, it had nothing to do with him!
In other words.
Danger!!!
All along, that calmness of having everything under control disappeared!
“If we’re not careful, we could easily capsize!”
If Su Hao had known how terrifying the strange disaster was, he might not have entered so cheerfully.
His mental tentacles reached out, immediately connecting to the position stone of the temporary base, discovering that they could teleport away at any time, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
“It’s fortunate that we can teleport away at any time, so it’s quite stable! But Ah Xing and Ah Wang are still here, so unless it’s absolutely necessary, we shouldn’t run!”
Su Hao hadn’t encountered anything threatening his life for a long time.
He didn’t expect to encounter one so soon after reincarnation.
As Ah Xing said, solving the strange disaster wasn’t just about strength; intelligence and luck were the key to solving the problem.
Su Hao took a deep breath and thought to himself, “I can’t act with an entertainment mindset anymore, otherwise, I won’t even know how I died. Serious now!”
He turned his head and asked, “Ah Xing, have you found anything?”
Ah Xing shook his head, “No! But the speculation is, if we accidentally trigger the bizarre disaster, then our organs will jump out by themselves, maybe one, maybe all, but no matter the situation, it’s a death sentence. So, we must absolutely avoid triggering the bizarre!”
This was similar to Su Hao’s speculation. He then asked, “Ah Xing, will the bizarre only affect living things? If it’s inanimate objects, will it have an effect?”
“It depends on the category; some don’t distinguish between living and non-living things.”
Su Hao looked at the willow forest, lost in thought.
Ah Wang whispered, “What should we do next?”
Ah Xing thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go in and take a look around first, find the advanced team that came in first. Only by obtaining more information can we make the corresponding judgments.”
The three of them had just entered and didn’t know much about this willow forest. To find the key, they had to venture in.
“Be careful, maintain the rhythm from earlier!”
Next, the three of them resumed their actions, slowly walking towards the depths of the willow forest.
…
Just as Su Hao was contemplating, Little Light’s analysis and comparison were completed.
He distractedly entered the pinball space and checked the comparison results. He quickly discovered, “What I perceive doesn’t match reality!”
Then, after careful comparison, he found that most of the scenes weren’t what his eyes saw, but what his brain imagined. So, he vaguely speculated, “In fact, when we approached Willow Mountain, our brains were already disturbed by the strange disaster. The closer we got, the stronger the interference. Everything we see and hear is far from the actual situation.
This deception method is very clever. It doesn’t directly implant a complete scene into a person’s brain but instead, through a special reality structure and mental interference, lets people imagine scenes themselves. The principle behind it… is similar to the brain’s color correction mechanism. It’s just more complex than that.”
He could find subtle differences by comparing the consciousness information inside the pinball space, thus deciphering this kind of hallucinogenic effect, but he didn’t know if the people in this world knew why it was like this.
Su Hao asked softly, “Ah Xing, will every strange disaster be like a maze?”
Ah Xing replied, “No, only some strange disasters can trap people. Those that can trap people are very tricky.”
Su Hao immediately made a judgment. Perhaps this visual deception was just a field effect accompanying the strange disaster, equivalent to random generation.
If even an accompanying effect was so powerful, then one could imagine how powerful the real strange disasters were!
Cannot be underestimated!
Fortunately, Su Hao had teleportation!
At this moment, Su Hao suddenly said, “Ah Xing, it seems like there’s someone on the right. Shall we go and see?”
Ah Xing and Ah Wang involuntarily looked towards Su Hao’s position. Ah Yang’s perception was still so sharp, how powerful!
The balloon people cleared the way, and the three of them slowly walked over there. After about two hours of walking, they faintly heard screams.
They didn’t hurry; they slowed down even more.
Before long, several organs bounced and ran past, making loud cries: “Quick, run! She’s going to catch up!”
A long, snake-like creature followed, running desperately behind: “Wait for me! Don’t leave me behind!”
Just as they watched these ‘cuties’ leave, a figure stumbled and appeared, chasing after those organs.
It was a short-haired man, wearing simple armor, his hair and clothes looked very messy, tightly holding a short thorn in his hand, tears streaming down his face, crying in despair, “Don’t run away! Come back quickly! I beg you, if you don’t come back, we’re all doomed! Doomed together…”
Crying, he stumbled and fell to the ground, but he didn’t seem to give up. Instead, he struggled to get up, trying to find those organs that had run far away.
He looked around and soon saw three balloons standing aside, as if grasping at a lifeline, he crawled towards the balloons.
While crawling, he said, “Brother, save me. I’m a Origin Mage from the Honggao Squad. Save my life, and I’ll give you lots of Source Stones. How about it?”
The three people hiding on the side remained silent for a moment. Ah Xing spoke first, “What happened? How can we help?”
The short-haired man immediately looked over and recognized the three of them as fake. He immediately crawled towards them, his eyes filled with joy, “Help me retrieve my liver, kidneys, and stomach! As long as I retrieve them and put them back, I can live! I’m getting weaker and weaker now, and I can’t catch up…”
Just as he finished speaking, his mouth suddenly opened wide.
A scream came out of his mouth: “So scared, so scared, don’t hit me!”
Then a red shadow shot out from his mouth, screaming as it ran into the distance: “Run, run!”
Everyone looked closely and saw that it was a heart with limbs.
The short-haired man reached out, despairingly watching his organs run away, “Help me, help me, please!”
Before he finished, his right arm suddenly wriggled violently, and a bloody muscle screamed as it ran out of his mouth.
Now he couldn’t even lift his right hand.
The three of them were shocked. They didn’t expect muscles to be able to run too.
Su Hao thought for a moment and reached out to a distant point.
The panicked heart disappeared in the blink of an eye and appeared next to the short-haired man, hitting him and bouncing back.
Su Hao quickly reminded, “Hey, that’s your heart, grab it quickly, or it’ll run away again!”
The short-haired man realized what was happening and reached out with his left hand, grabbing the heart tightly.
He got back his own heart, and he became excited!
And that heart, held tightly by the short-haired man, struggled desperately and screamed, “So scared, so scared! Help me~”
