Fog Gathering.

In the gray mist above the sky, two elongated crimson moons still hang, like a pair of... blood-red eyes.

The thirty cursed individuals did not leave, but quietly awaited here, occasionally glancing at the names that seemed ready to drip fresh blood.

This wasn't because they had deep feelings among them; in fact, everyone tacitly chose shallow conversations over deep ones, after all, if death were to come, the sorrow of losing a not-so-close acquaintance is preferable to losing a dearly beloved friend or lover.

But the main reason everyone stayed in place was that Fog Gathering couldn't be left until all the living people had emerged.

More peculiar, however, was the time here; its passage was entirely different from the outside world.

Even if you don't eat, drink, or rest in Fog Gathering for months, you wouldn't feel hunger or fatigue in the slightest.

Because in reality, only a few fleeting moments have passed for everyone.

Du Shangjing often wondered, is this kind of existence still considered living?

However, before he could ponder further, a commotion and exclamations suddenly erupted in Fog Gathering.

Du Shangjing frowned slightly and instinctively looked towards Li Mu.

Only to see Li Mu staring with an extremely grim expression at the sky full of bloody names.

Following his gaze, Du Shangjing was stunned and then engulfed by a deep-seated fear.

"Why is it like this? What exactly happened?"

Du Shangjing's murmur carried fear and disbelief.

Not just him, everyone present was plunged into extreme terror and shock.

In the first group, Wei Xiu was chosen for the resentful's past world, and six names disappeared instantly!

Wei Xiu, Qin Siqiao, Yuan Pengfei, Jin Wen, Luu Shuang, and... newcomer Shen Changrong, their names had turned into clusters of gray mist, merging into this eerie void.

This means the first group was exterminated!

"Damn it, how could this happen?"

"Who still remembers the first group's decryption?"

Voices in Fog Gathering rose and fell.

"I remember, the first group's decryption is... Mountain Moon Hiding, Coffin Fishing Underwater."

"Mountain Moon Hiding, Coffin Fishing Underwater..." Du Shangjing murmured the decryption, how could this be... what kind of place is it? Did it require Wei Xiu and others to dive underwater to fish out a coffin?

"Li Mu, does this mean..." someone looked at Li Mu, their voice trembling with fear.

All eyes were also on him, Li Mu gazed at the six names that had completely vanished, which meant six people... had died in the past, never to return.

Turning to face the crowd, Li Mu nodded with confirmation, saying: "Yes, the 'Mountain Moon Hiding, Coffin Fishing Underwater' scene will become a task for everyone here in half a year."

Glancing at the overwhelmingly shaken crowd, Li Mu silently withheld the next sentence: if we're still alive in half a year...

With Li Mu's confirmation, Fog Gathering fell silent once more.

Only erratic breathing, low sobs, and impotent cursing occasionally broke the quiet.

Du Shangjing couldn't help but tense up inside.

He hadn't been in Fog Gathering for long, but had never experienced something like this; in fact, it seemed only Li Mu had experienced such an event before.

Others had only heard rumors.

It was said that in every Fog Gathering task, if a time point existed where everyone was eradicated, then the scene at that time would become a cursed task for everyone in half a year.

And because last time, no one survived until the end of the time limit, and no one found the ghost's sole weakness before the time limit arrived.

Thus, next time, it will become a truly unsolvable ghost.

There is no effective way to restrain it.

The only possibly useful thing is the information conveyed in the decryption...

Mountain Moon Hiding, Coffin Fishing Underwater...

What kind of place is it...

...

Everything in Fog Gathering, unbeknownst to the people in the past world naturally.

In fact, almost everyone was in a state of panic and fear now.

But this didn't include Bai Yanliang, even though he was eager to experience what extreme fear felt like.

Walking down the corridor, turning the corner, just about to enter the first-floor lobby, Bai Yanliang bumped into a pale face.

Luckily it was him, anyone else would have definitely screamed in fright.

"Bai Yanliang?"

Xu Zhi'an exclaimed in surprise, then as if remembering something, he hurriedly tried to grab Bai Yanliang's wrist.

"Come with me quickly!"

"What happened?" Bai Yanliang's gaze narrowed slightly, deftly avoiding Xu Zhi'an's grasp, pulling back some distance, asked puzzledly.

Who would have thought, upon hearing Bai Yanliang's question, Xu Zhi'an's face became even paler, his hair soaked entirely with sweat, strands clinging to his forehead, far from the neatness before.

"Ghost, that female attendant is a ghost! Zhang Wen! And there's another man, I don't know who he is, there are two ghosts! This Ruyi Hotel has two ghosts!"

Xu Zhi'an's emotions were somewhat intense, clearly showing that he was greatly frightened.

This time, Bai Yanliang didn't dodge his pull, letting him lead him towards the first-floor lobby.

He glanced up at the time.

Ten fifty-five.

They had agreed to meet at eleven in the lobby; who knows how many could come.

Bai Yanliang and Xu Zhi'an sat on the previous sofa, quietly waiting for the other three.

In fact, Bai Yanliang was the only one quiet.

Xu Zhi'an seemed like his seat was burning, restless, peering around, occasionally casting a wary glance at Bai Yanliang.

Bai Yanliang sighed inwardly, not knowing what he had encountered; in just a few hours apart, this shrewd-looking young clerk had sunken eyes, looking haggard, as if aged significantly overnight.

At this time, two people came out of the elevator.

Li Yuejun and Jiang Li exited the elevator one after the other, their eyes meeting Bai Yanliang and Xu Zhi'an's.

They were also curious about Xu Zhi'an's appearance but could guess that he must have faced something terrifying.

"Did you two have any findings?"

Jiang Li sat cross-legged on the sofa, still wearing her shoes.

Even though she asked both of them, her eyes were focused solely on Bai Yanliang.

Bai Yanliang's heart remained calm, as if he hadn't sensed her interest in him.

"A bit, we'll discuss it together when Mr. Feng arrives."

The moment Bai Yanliang finished saying this, they heard Feng Xinghan's voice by the lobby door.

"Young people are quite punctual these days."

The four of them turned their heads in unison, looking at Feng Xinghan.

Among them, Xu Zhi'an's expression was the strangest, staring at Feng Xinghan with a fierce and fearful look.

As Feng Xinghan took a step in their direction, he suddenly paused, a look of amazement flashing across his eyes.

Pointing to the stairway of the first-floor escape route, his eyes widened as he trembled, "Why is there another Jiang Li there?"
