Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 12 Escape from ghost hands
"Gu Aotian is really awesome. Does that mean I don't have to pay to enter derivative worlds that require Japanese?"

Xin Lailai looked at the last line of prompts and felt happy. He didn't expect that the Japanese in the derivative world of the paradise was actually the same, which allowed him to successfully save 100 paradise points.

"By the way, why are these guys so anxious? It's snowy, it's night, and they're still in the mountains. If they're just running around like this, they'll probably fall to death before Wuhan comes."

Xin Lailai spent 2 minutes changing into snow boots and thermal kit, and after putting on windproof goggles with night vision function, she was speechless as she looked at the dozens of figures whose backs could still be seen.

"They didn't even buy the gift package of novice supplies that only sells for 9 points, right? Even if there is no acquaintance to guide you, the original price of this thing is only 99 points."

Xin Lailai looked at the dozens of figures staggering against the snow and felt a little funny, but he had no idea of ​​helping them.

Although he talked lightly to 04296, he knew very well that with his current strength, let alone Wu Mei and Twelve Ghost Moon, any ghost with special vampire skills would be dead or alive when he met him.

As for the ultraviolet lamp, he had no idea how much of a threat it posed to ghosts. If he really wanted to attack Wuhan like this, if he couldn't kill him instantly, he would probably be killed by him.

Blocking his body with a magic shield, Xin Lailai took a deep breath and ran down the mountain with all his strength.

He who was fully armed was much faster than those contractors who were not prepared for anything?In just a few minutes, he had already reached the front.

"Damn it, is there a Master?"

"Boss, help! Take me with you!"

"You idiot Mad, please lower your voice. Are you afraid that Wuhan won't be able to hear you?"

"Why are you panicking? He can hear shit in such a heavy snowstorm!"

Seeing Xin Lailai rushing to the front alone, all the contractors behind were dumbfounded.

A long, plump female contractor with a face that was red from the cold shouted excitedly from behind, asking Xin Lailai to take her for a ride.

It's a pity that all these voices were ignored by Xin Lailai.

"When there are not enough benefits to tie up, just treat other contractors' words as farts."

This is what 04296 repeatedly told him.

"Help you? I can't even protect myself!"

Xin Lailai complained in his mind, and then looked at the task panel.

"You've traveled so far, it should be safe, right?"

……

*Reminder: There are still: 07 minutes and 39 seconds left before Oniitsuji Mu brutally kills the Kamado family.

……

The way down the mountain was not too long. At his speed, he would reach the bottom of the mountain in a few minutes.

"Huh... This first stage of the main mission is quite easy. I avoided Wu Mei's pursuit, but in the end I was safe without even seeing Wu Mei's face..."

"..."

"By the way, why do I think it's safe when I reach the bottom of the mountain?"

Seemingly noticing something, Xin Lailai began to think distractedly.

Bang!
Xin Lailai, who was stunned, bumped into a tree. Fortunately, there was a magic shield in front of him, so he did not suffer any damage.

A large amount of snow fell, making Xin Lailai shudder instinctively, but the expression on Xin Lailai's face didn't seem to care at all.

Xin Lailai was seen staring at the mission interface, his face getting paler.

"Oh my god, I was fooled!"

Suddenly, Xin Lailai uttered a curse word, and then frantically took out the only bottle of negative status removal potion from the storage space. He drank it all in one gulp without caring about anything else.

A few seconds later, a strong burning sensation came from the back of Xin Lailai's neck, making him groan.

A piece of meat about the size of a sesame seed instantly turned into ashes, and a wisp of black smoke floated from the back of Xin Lailai's head.

[Negative status: Simple curse has been removed]

After seeing this line of text, Xin Lailai breathed a sigh of relief, and without caring about anything else, he randomly chose a direction and ran as fast as he could.

"Lai Lai bless! Lai Lai bless! Lai Lai bless! Lai Lai..."

Xin Lailai prayed crazily in her heart, even though the luck value in the attribute panel had changed from 1 to 2, she still didn't stop.

"You are so miserable, and you have this damn mission introduction, you really want to trick everyone to death!"

Xin Lailai was also constantly cursing.

It wasn't until just now that Xin Lailai suddenly realized that everyone, including him, had been misled by the mission introduction and animation plot of the park!

——Muzan is about to kill Tanjiro’s family.

——Please escape from Wu Mei’s pursuit.Combined with the location of their appearance and the plot of the anime, everyone subconsciously thought that the plot was like this:

Muzan hiding in the mountains happened to pass by Tanjiro's house, and then killed Tanjiro's family, so what they had to do was to stay as far away from there as possible before Muzan came, and the farther away the better.

There is no problem with this logic and it fits the plot very well, but it actually deceived everyone!

It's impossible for them to avoid Wu Mei before Wu Mei comes!

Because...Wuxian was already sitting in that room from the moment they were teleported!
From the very beginning, those of them who suddenly appeared near that house were all targeted by Wu Kuai!
Therefore, the main mission is to escape from the brutal pursuit, not to rush to the foot of the mountain within a limited time!

This is a clever scam. If you only pay attention to the surface information of the paradise mission and then think that everything is what you think, but ignore the contradictory parts, the final result will be to be caught up by Wuhan and torn apart without any suspense. broken.

The mission process from the very beginning was [Escape from Kibutsuji Muzan’s pursuit].

And the prompt is always "how much time is left until Onii-tsuji Muzan kills Kamado's family" instead of "how long is left until Onii-tsuji Muzan arrives at Kamado's house".

The mission deadline was only four hours from the beginning, which meant that it would be dawn in four hours, indicating that it was early morning.

But at this time, the Kamado house is brightly lit!

Not only that, in the anime, when Tanjiro returned home, he saw his sister Nezuko throwing herself towards the door.

In that posture, it was obvious that Nezuko was running out the door at that time, which meant that Muzan should have been in the house at that time!

In the anime, this is just an insignificant little detail, and it can even have many explanations, but here, combined with the hints given in the task, they all point to the same answer.

Xin Lailai could even easily imagine that warm and frightening scene:

Muzan, disguised as a human being, pretended to be lost in the middle of the night and asked Tanjiro's family to stay overnight. The enthusiastic Tanjiro family agreed without hesitation.

They thought they were just rescuing a poor man who was lost on a cold winter night.

They may have kindly made each other a bowl of hot soup, and let the innocent children chat with each other, trying to make each other happy.

They didn't expect that what they let in was an evil ghost!
An evil ghost with extremely evil taste who enjoys watching people's tragedies!
This evil ghost deliberately hides his minions, not because of any conscience, but because he wants to tear apart all the good things in a more desperate way.

[*Reminder: Onimbutsuji Muzan has killed Kamado Tanjiro’s family and is about to start hunting down the contractors. 】

The cold prompt sounded, as if mocking Xin Lailai, who had only now seen through all this.

"It's numb, don't care, that's it. If you are really found, just fight for it!"

Xin Lailai's expression changed when he saw the notification sound, and he simply stopped, took out the ultraviolet suit he bought earlier, and set it up.

Although Wuhan's tracking methods have been removed, he still has to be prepared to fight just in case.

"Huh... Calm down, it's just a boss. There's nothing to be afraid of. Maybe just a UV ray can kill it!"

Xin Lailai said to himself in a tone that was obviously lacking in confidence.

……

Four hours later.

"No! Master Wuhan, I am willing to vote...ah!"

The ear-piercing screams resounded in the mountain forest again, and then quickly subsided.

"Strange, where did these guys come from?"

Oniwu Tsuji Muzan threw the corpse behind him like trash, with some doubts in his eyes.

He originally thought that the dozens of auras that suddenly appeared outside the door were the Demon Slayers who came to ambush him, and he was shocked at the time.

As a result, after he carefully marked all the people and prepared to escape into the forest, slowly guerrillaing, he suddenly felt that all these people were running down the mountain, which made him startled for a long time.

Even when he cautiously attacked the first person, he hid nearby and observed for a long time to make sure there was no ambush.

The reality was somewhat beyond Kibutsuji Muzan's expectations.

Until he solved all fourteen of the fifteen marks, he was not attacked even once.

And judging from the results of the contact, these people are obviously not from the human organization that relies on breathing methods to fight.

But this only made Kibutsuji Muzan's doubts even more serious.

A group of people suddenly appeared, with obviously stronger strength than ordinary people, and they recognized his identity at a glance. No matter how you thought about it, something felt wrong.

"Isn't it surprising that another organization like the Demon Slayer Corps has appeared? And it also masters a way to become stronger that is different from the breathing method!"

The moment this idea came into his mind, Oniwu Tsuji Mumei seemed to have thought of something, and shuddered instinctively, and his eyes became extremely cold.

"Damn it! If this is true, then the person who lifted my curse is definitely an important figure in this group of people, and he was actually allowed to run away like this!" Kibutsuji Muzan looked at the vaguely white sky with a gloomy expression.

After hesitating on the spot for a while, Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan decisively ran towards the outside of the mountain.

"It's better to be cautious. It's better not to act rashly until we find out where these people come from and what the strength of the strongest person among them is."

"A mistake made 300 years ago is enough if you make it once!"
