When they came to the front, Hanako and the other three finally saw clearly the guilty man under the hanging tree.

But all three of them were dumbfounded.

"This? This is impossible!!" Xiang Mubai couldn't believe what he saw. The man with his arms stretched out, his head hanging low, his neck wrapped in red crystals, and his lower body turned into the roots of a tree, was actually himself.

Huazi couldn't understand all this. She covered her mouth and looked at Xiang Mubai beside her for a while, and then looked at Xiang Mubai in the sky.

Liu Ping was also dumbfounded, but he was more alert. His hand had already touched the weapon behind him.

"There must be something wrong with this!" Xiang Mubai looked at Huazi and Liu Ping in a panic. When he noticed that both of them were retreating, he said coldly, "What are you doing?"

Hanako stopped. She raised her hand and said comfortingly, "Bai Bai, I have the same opinion as you, but there is a similar record in the diary. We have to understand the situation first."

Xiang Mubai couldn't understand, he spread his hands and said, "What do you want to know? Can't you see? I'm standing in front of you, alive. Do you think I'm dead?"

Hanako didn't say anything, and Liu Ping said, "It's possible."

"What?!"

"Sorry, brother, be careful. Before you figure out the situation, I hope you take off your exoskeleton first." Liu Ping thought more.

Xiang Mubai was angered. He took a step forward and said, "Are you worried that I will kill you?"

Liu Ping was startled and immediately pulled out his gun and aimed it at Xiang Mubai's head and said, "Oh oh oh! Stop! I am worried about that. After all, even if you don't have an exoskeleton, Hanako and I will not be your opponents, right?"

"

Hanako was also startled, and she retreated to Liu Ping's side without realizing it.

Xiang Mubai understood. Although his expression was still cold, he could understand the worries of Huazi and Liu Ping at this time. But the question is... what is that thing?

Thinking of this, Xiang Mubai turned around and looked at the hanging tree and said, "Okay, since you are so worried, I will prove it to you."

After that, Xiang Mubai took off the heavy machine gun on his back and pointed the muzzle at "himself" in the sky.

Seeing this scene, Hanako was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stopped her and said, "Wait! Bai Bai! Don't mess around!"

Xiang Mubai ignored Hanako. He could no longer keep calm. He pulled the trigger, the machine gun spurted flames, bullets whizzed out, and in the blink of an eye, the hanging tree was beaten to pieces!

The blood-red crystals exploded into crimson dust in the air!

Xiang Mubai's attack lasted for several minutes.

By the time the ammunition was empty, the hanging tree was in pieces and shattered into pieces.

And the air is filled with that weird crimson color everywhere...

When Hanako and Liu Ping saw this, their first reaction was to cover their mouths and noses. They were not sure whether these red substances would cause harm to their bodies. In short, this scene was not normal.

After venting his anger, Xiang Mubai sneered and said, "Look, that thing is not me at all!"

Both Hanako and Liu Ping were silent. They didn't speak or move. They just stood quietly aside.

Until the light in the hands of the nun statue was "polluted" by the red dust.

"Huh?" Xiang Mubai stopped laughing. He turned around and replaced the magazine of the machine gun.

While alert to the darkness around her, she asked Hanako, "Girl, is there anything useful in the diary?"

Hanako frowned and took out her diary to read through it.

Liu Ping's vigilance towards Xiang Mubai also decreased a lot, and he was also paying attention to the darkness around him.

In this lightless place, they have no idea what is hidden in the darkness. This is the most terrifying thing...

After a while, Hanako said, "I found it! There is a record that may be useful."

"Read it!" Xiang Mubai said coldly.

"Okay..." Hanako held the diary in one hand and started reading...

"The Lord of the past is here, the Lord of the past is here, and the Lord of the past will be there forever! Are we the masterpieces of the Creator, or are we a failure worth mentioning in their eyes? I keep asking myself, if one day humans and

The artificial intelligence created by ourselves realizes equal and free dialogue between consciousnesses. Are we the creators, or are we the masters of the past who are destined to be eliminated? What I saw in the murals is that the fruits of those bright red trees are a sign of doom.

A disaster that will destroy all things! Should I become above all things, or fall below all things? Hmm... I seem to understand... Hmm... They are coming... They are coming..." After Hanako finished reading this paragraph

With her eyes wide open, she seemed to be able to hear their breathing. Those demons that were dormant in the darkness, hiding the ugliness and primitiveness in the darkness, they were coming...

"They? What are they? Are they the monsters your father mentioned before that dragged Xiao Zha away?" Liu Ping's attention was now focused on the darkness.

Xiang Mubai was similar. He found that the red color in the air was dissipating, but the darkness was also coming in like a tide, slowly swallowing up the light around them.

"I don't know...I don't know...but I have a feeling...this nightmare won't end so soon! We may fall into an eternal hell!" Hanako panicked, and there was a slight whisper in her ears.

There was a rustling sound, which was the sound of some unknown creature approaching quietly, like thousands of insects crawling.

Liu Ping was startled when he heard this, and then sneered, "Maybe? No, no, no, Hanako, we are already in hell! The place these lights want to guide us to may not be a way to survive at all, but a place of eternal doom!"

When Hanako heard this, her expression changed, and she trembled, "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have harmed you..."

Xiang Mubai's bullet was replaced. Hearing this, he said, "There is nothing to be sorry for. We are all voluntary! Besides, whether it is life or death, it is not certain who lives and who dies! Right, Liu Ping?"

"Yes!" When a person reaches a desperate situation, fear will turn into strength.

Liu Ping was like this at this time. He also heard the dense and subtle rustling in the darkness, but he was not afraid at all.

He tightened his grip on the gun and held a dagger in one hand, ready to face the devil!

But just as the three of them were getting ready to fight, a voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Hey! Come here quickly! There's a boat here!"

The three of them were shocked when they heard this. When they looked back, they saw a woman with a gray cloth on her head.

Although she couldn't see her appearance clearly, she gave the three of them a familiar feeling.

Especially Hanako, she seemed to have seen a ghost.

Liu Ping looked at the woman who suddenly appeared warily, then pointed the gun at her and said, "Who are you?"

"Don't ask so many questions! Come here quickly! The light here can't last long! They will swallow everything up soon!" The other party did not intend to talk nonsense with Liu Ping and the others. She pointed to a wooden boat behind her and said, "Quickly

come over!"

The three of them looked at each other, and Liu Ping asked, "What should I say?"

Xiang Mubai hesitated for a second and then put away the gun, "Ignore it, let's go!"

"Okay! Let's go!"

The three of them hurriedly ran towards the ship.

Just when they all boarded the ship and the dim light on the bow came on, a huge wave seemed to rise in the darkness, extinguishing the guiding light in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, the three of them trembled in their hearts, thinking to themselves, 'If it were just one second later, everything would be in trouble...'

The mysterious woman acts as the ferryman at the stern of the ship. She controls the direction of the ship, and most of her body is hidden in the darkness.

Liu Ping glanced at her and said, "No matter who you are... anyway... thank you."

"You're welcome." The other party was also very polite.

Hanako did not dare to look back at the mysterious woman at the stern of the boat. She was sitting on the bow. With the dim light from the lantern on the bow, she saw some strange black shadows passing by from time to time in the ripples in the darkness.

Xiang Mubai also noticed this, but he wanted to know who saved him even more.

"Girl, who are you? Can you be honest with us?" Xiang Mubai asked.

"My name is Youye, and I am also a poor man who is lost here." The other party answered quickly, but the answer was also very vague.

"Arino? Are you Japanese?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes." Arino didn't say much. She would slightly change the direction of the ship from time to time, but was silent at other times.

"Well... then, girl, where are you taking us now?"

"Go to the next place with light."

"The next place with light?" Xiang Mubai was startled, then looked at Liu Ping, who immediately understood.

He turned around and asked Hanako quietly, "Is there a place with light recorded in the diary?"

Hanako nodded and said, "Yes, the next place is deep underwater, we have to dive down." 139 Novel

"Ah? Are you still going to dive?" Liu Ping looked at the turbid water on both sides of the boat and frowned, "The water is so murky, can we still see light when we get into the water?"

"The light is in the heart, not in the eyes. No matter how cloudy it is, you should still be able to see clearly." Hanako said.

"Uh... are you serious?" Liu Ping didn't believe any nonsense in his heart.

Hanako nodded, "That's what it says in the diary."

"Then has your father found the final answer?"

"have no idea……"

"have no idea?"

"Well... the diary records a very small part of the content... and it also contains a lot of suggestive descriptions. I am not sure how far my father went and where he ended up."

"I'll go...then based on this, we don't know if we can escape, right?"

"Yes..." Hanako's mood was very low. She stroked the diary in her hand, as if she was feeling a long-lasting past.
