"What are Believers?"

Li Cheng颐 felt his worldview was shaken. These strange-looking beings could actually communicate?

He originally thought the Dead Angle was full of danger, but now it seemed there were many, many secrets hidden within.

"They also believe in the giant beast Asraduni," Iselin replied. "There is no danger hiding under this bed. The bed is a ship, the only safe place in the Black Sea. But outside the bed is very dangerous." Iselin explained seriously.

"...Then what about you?" Li Cheng颐 looked at her and couldn't help but ask, "I went to your house, the one that was burned down."

"My house? What house? Oh right, I still have to go home. My mom, dad, and brother are all waiting for me." Suddenly, Iselin looked enlightened. "It doesn't matter. After three times, after three changes outside, we can go out. As long as we stay here quietly and don't go out."

Li Cheng颐 frowned slightly, feeling baffled. But looking at Iselin's expression, she didn't seem to be lying. "You, do you remember the fire? And your eyes..."

"The fire? What's wrong with my eyes?" Iselin reached out and touched the corner of her eye. "I... what's wrong with my eyes?" Her eyes were faintly starting to bleed.

At close range, illuminated by the phone's light, the skin on her face also began to darken, revealing burn marks. "It feels... a little painful." Iselin began to rub her eyes.

"They're coming! They're coming!" Li Cheng颐's expression changed slightly, sensing something was wrong. He quickly changed the subject. "Quick, look outside!"

Iselin paused and quickly looked outside the bed.

In that short moment, her burned skin quickly returned to normal, and the blood flowing from her eyes flowed back as if time had reversed, as if nothing had happened.

Li Cheng颐 caught a glimpse of this in the corner of his eye, and his heart tightened.

If he had previously suspected that the Iselin before him might be another survivor with the same name, now he had no doubts.

This Iselin was the one who had her eyes gouged out in the fire and died in agony in the underground room.

"Iselin, are your mom and dad okay? Are they going on a long trip?" Li Cheng颐's mind raced as he asked softly.

"Yes, they said they're going to take my brother to the doctor tomorrow. I said I wanted to go too, but they wouldn't let me. They told me to stay home alone." Iselin nodded, answering while looking outside.

"Is that so? Tomorrow..." Li Cheng颐 had a vague guess in his mind.

"Mom also said that we don't have much money left at home, and it will cost a lot to see the doctor... but I feel like my brother is very healthy, nothing is wrong with him at all." Iselin whispered.

Combining the information he had seen before, Li Cheng颐 guessed that her parents might be taking her brother to smuggle out, leaving Mukesha Town and leaving Sultan.

They must have sensed the danger, so they arranged to leave early, and lied to little Iselin that they were going to see the doctor, telling her to stay at home...

The Rainbow Candy's information mentioned that some of the smuggled Gilkinis mysteriously disappeared along the way. No one found any trace of them. At least several hundred people were missing.

And no other footprints could be found around that area, and no means of transportation had approached. Where did those people go? This has also become an unsolved mystery.

"The first change is about to pass. Be careful not to go out." Iselin suddenly said. Her voice pulled Li Cheng颐 back from his speculation.

He followed her and lay down, looking out from under the bed.

The wide hall outside had slowly darkened, and after a few breaths, it turned completely black.

"Here, is the Black Sea... Isn't it beautiful?" Iselin looked at the darkness outside, her eyes revealing happiness, warmth, anticipation, and other emotions.

"I can't see anything." Li Cheng颐 replied. He looked at Iselin.

"That's right. How do you know the Believers can trade? And that it's a fair trade?" "Oh, that." Iselin smiled, turning her face.

"Because I've tried it." "Tried it?"

"Yeah, I used my piggy bank to exchange for a lot of things. I don't understand what they're saying, but many times when I'm hungry, I'll look for opportunities to exchange for food and drinks."

"Food and drinks?" Li Cheng颐 was speechless. "You dare to eat that?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? It's not dangerous. They eat it first to show me they're okay, and then I eat it." Iselin replied.

Li Cheng颐 was speechless.

Now he suspected that Iselin's bizarre state was likely caused by eating random things in the Dead Angle. He wanted to say something else.

But soon, the darkness outside slowly faded again. Outside the bed, a European-style old room slowly appeared.

Gray-black floor tiles, pure white walls full of floral carvings, and delicate symbolic text engraved on the white skirting boards.

Li Cheng颐 looked out from this angle. Most of his view was of the white wall.

In the left corner of the wall was a half-open red wooden door.

The bottom of the door also had black anti-collision edging.

"Where is this...?" Li Cheng颐 was about to speak when Iselin suddenly covered his mouth, shaking her head desperately, her expression horrified.

"Danger!" She found these two words in the previous conversation on the phone screen and kept tapping. Li Cheng颐's heart tightened, and he quietly lay down without moving or making a sound.

Tap. Tap.

Suddenly, the wooden door opened wide.

A pair of legs wearing black leather shoes and black trousers, seemingly belonging to a man, slowly walked in. Clack.

The door was closed and locked. "Hee hee..."

Suddenly, a strange giggle rang out in the room. "Hee hee hee..."

The laughter rang out again.

Li Cheng颐 didn't know why, but hearing this sound made his skin crawl. "Eeee eeee eeee..."

The sound changed again, becoming like a child babbling, making strange noises. The sound was a bit harsh, like singing opera, or simply a strange cry.

Li Cheng颐 looked at Iselin. But he found her face pale, her eyes closed, and she didn't dare to move. "Li Cheng颐."

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out in Li Cheng颐's ear. He went numb all over and suddenly turned his head to look outside the bed.

The man's feet were already standing by the bed!

They were tightly pressed against the edge of the bed, only a palm's width away from his face! "Li Cheng颐."

"Li Cheng颐." "Li Cheng颐."

The voice was like a repeating machine, constantly reciting and repeating.

The sound's tone went from strange at first to becoming more and more standard, more and more familiar, more and more... like his own voice!

Suddenly, Li Cheng颐 realized this.

Instinctively, he felt that if he allowed the other party to continue reciting, something extremely dangerous would definitely happen. The gold sword slowly appeared in his hand, and the Light Force Field was ready to be released at any moment.

"Ah!!!!!!"

In an instant, an extremely sharp scream exploded beside him. It was Iselin, who was also hiding under the bed.

Her face was now cold, her eyes were slowly oozing blood, starting to turn black and sunken. The skin on her face also began to show charred blackness and cracks.

The sharp, terrifying sound waves instantly canceled out the repeating sound outside. After a few seconds.

Poof.

The two voices disappeared at the same time.

Li Cheng颐's vision blurred from the shock, and his head was dizzy.

Only after the sound completely disappeared did he slowly stabilize his condition under the restoration of the Light Force Field. It was dark outside again.

They seemed to have left the room just now.

And Iselin, who had been huddled up to the side, suddenly tilted her head and passed out, lying on the ground motionless. "She... is helping me?" Li Cheng颐 suddenly realized.

"Why is she helping me?" He couldn't understand. What he could be sure of now was that Iselin was definitely not simple. Whether she was dead or alive, no one knew.

But she possessed certain special abilities. This was definitely certain.

Li Cheng颐 looked at the unconscious Iselin and recalled the small skeleton he had seen before. His heart was inexplicably touched.

Before he could have any other thoughts, the darkness outside changed again. The darkness faded.

A dark red wall with a rough stone texture appeared outside the bed. This time, it seemed they were very lucky.

There was no one outside. There was also no noise.

Dark red walls, dark red stone slab floors, and scattered small stones and debris on the ground. Other than that, there was nothing else.

The temperature was also different from before, starting to get a little hot.

Li Cheng颐 remembered Iselin's three-times principle, and the prediction of waiting under the bed for more than half an hour.

Now that he came back to his senses, the strange voice that had been reciting his name was likely part of the danger of the Close Grip Dead Angle.

But Iselin had helped him block it.

Lying under the bed, without moving.

He kept looking at the stopwatch on his phone. Ten minutes.

Twenty minutes. Thirty minutes... Huff.

In an instant, a strange sense of dizziness surged into his heart. A large number of snowflakes appeared before Li Cheng颐's eyes.

Poof, he couldn't help but blink, and everything before his eyes quickly began to change. When he came back to his senses, he had already returned to his hotel room.

Holding the opened door in his right hand, he was standing at the door, about to go out. Buzz, buzz.

The phone was vibrating, it was the alarm clock.

Li Cheng颐 took a deep breath, looked around, and confirmed that he had really left the Dead Angle. Only then did his body suddenly relax.

"I'm out!" His vision cleared up.

Recalling the scenes in the Dead Angle just now. Iselin screamed and helped him.

And in Mukesha Town, the deep loneliness she conveyed when she grabbed his calf.

It seemed that before leaving, he had to bring something more.

Li Cheng颐 calmed his heart and put on the white hat that concealed his face, and quickly walked out of the room.

*Two days later...

Suiyang City · Eternal Botanical Garden.

"So you brought her here too!?!?!?" Rainbow Candy looked at Li Cheng颐 in shock.

The lollipop in her mouth puffed out her cheeks, but at this moment, no matter how big the lollipop was, it couldn't fill the damn that kept popping up in her heart.

It wasn't just her.

Big Bear, Dragon Crane, Big Black, and Little Brown were all in the living room, looking at Li Cheng颐 in a daze.

"Brother Cheng... are you, are you a little obsessed...? Let's not talk about how you brought this thing back, let's just say that its safety hasn't been confirmed yet, this... you've brought it back?" Dragon Crane's face twisted, pointing at the two skeletons placed neatly on the ground.
