  "There are still clues on the blood gate?"

  Ning exclaimed in surprise.

  Bai, who was beside him, explained:

  "Only the first blood gate doesn't have any."

  "Because 99.999% of the first blood gates are very easy to pass. Ghosts want to kill people... it's quite difficult. Most of the time, they just scare you, they won't really do anything."

  She paused, her eyes filled with teasing, as if she was teasing them:

  "That's why your faces are so dark, you two encountered that kind of ghost in the first blood gate, and you almost got wiped out!"

  "After the first gate, the second gate will be a level higher in difficulty, but the blood gate will also provide corresponding, important clues."

  "Then there's the sixth gate... but those can be talked about later."

  "The most urgent thing now is to figure out how to survive the second gate."

  "Your second gate... is not easy!"

  After Bai patiently explained, Ning immediately memorized the clues on the blood gate.

  "The kind people have drained their blood, turning it into sweet rain; the compassionate people have cut off their heads, bringing peace; the innocent people have closed their eyes, begging for the sweet rain and peace to descend..."

  This clue is very strange, it sounds... creepy.

  Soon, their time to enter the gate arrived.

  The blood-stained wooden door was slowly pushed open again by a pale hand, and then the three of them quickly lost consciousness...

  ...

  When Ning regained consciousness, he found himself standing in front of a huge building.

  The building was quite dilapidated, the two white walls at the entrance were full of cracks, covered with moldy moss.

  The ground was covered with broken stones and weeds.

  On the right white wall, painted in red paint, it said:

  [Qiyu Village Tour Group Reception]

  "Tour group..."

  "This time, we're appearing as tourists?"

  Ning looked around.

  There were fourteen people in this large courtyard, standing in groups of three or two.

  

  Soon, Ning found Liu and Bai.

  Their faces didn't look good.

  Ning walked over and whispered:

  "What's wrong?"

  Bai pointed to Liu with her lips, and said lazily:

  "Ask him."

  Ning looked at Liu.

  The latter had sweat on his face, and a hint of fear in his eyes.

  "My birthplace was at the foot of the mountain behind that forest. I wanted to follow the road signs and go through the forest, but when I was in the middle of the forest, I saw a... headless person!"

  Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.

  "Are you sure?"

  Liu gasped, his eyes filled with intense fear!
