After the priest took him down the mountain, he was surrounded by many people. It was impossible for Yu Yi to escape their sight and enter the forest, and he did not want to die.
Since he had heard something before in the forest, there must be danger. If he rushed into the forest, he might be killed immediately, or he might be assimilated into a part of this place. The priest said that after going down the mountain, in order to prevent people from getting lost, he would do a roll call. Yu Yi met with the Dazhu already, and if he disappeared, it would certainly cause vigilance. If he wanted to enter the Red Fog zone, he had to find another way.
It was just that he would obviously be a step behind. After all, the Dazhu side and the priest acted at the same time.
After the priest finished the head count, everyone returned to the sacrificial square. It just seemed that the tourists were in high spirits and didn’t want to leave for the time being. Many people took part in the bonfire party in the sacrificial square, and the shops around did not intend to close.
“KP, I want to know if I’m being followed.”
“This kind of thing can be told even if you haven’t rolled the dice. No one is following you.”
Good, then. Yu Yi left the crowd directly and returned to the shopping street. By reading the map, he found out two entrances to the Red Fog zone. One was the ritual stand, where the Dazhu and the others passed by. The other was from the shopping street to the high-altitude observation zone, which one could enter from the high-altitude observation zone. Of course, there were other roads, such as the other side of the ritual stand. One could reach the Red Fog zone just by walking through the forest.
Since Yu Yi knew that there was something in the forest, it was impossible to venture through the forest unless absolutely necessary.
He sent a text message to Yatok. He soon got a reply, and they were trying to find a way to sneak into the Red Fog zone. At the same time, they asked what happened on the side of Yu Yi. Yu Yi simply told them what had happened at the shrine and warned them not to enter the forest. There must be something dangerous inside. He also sent his own judgement.
If this was not a gathering place for cult followers, then it was… an area where alien families mixed with human beings. Their appearance was human, but actually they were slaves controlled by alien creatures. What on earth was hidden under those masks? Maybe if he took off the mask, he had to skip the inspiration and do SC directly.
To mix inside human groups, hide in the dark, and control human families…
Yuggoth. As a senior unruly player, Yu Yi naturally thought of this creature, who appeared in many TRPG scripts. The low level race known as the Mi-Go race. But perhaps… that was not it? Although Mi-Go also had worshipped foreign gods, their worship of foreign gods was far less than that of science. It was impossible to hold such a sacrifice… Since they were hidden behind the scenes, it was impossible to perform such a grand ceremony. Not to mention it was an opening ceremony to the outside world. Although they might use it to attract prey, their thirst for the human brain was not that strong.
In fact, Yu Yi’s inference on this was a bit superfluous. After all, he was now playing a role with zero Cthulhu mythology, and it was impossible for this role to get this information. But he just went overboard. What could KP do with him? This information could be obtained in reality. As long as one experienced this script once or twice, one could easily find a game strategy online and cheat blatantly.
He quickly reached the high-altitude observation zone and took the path to the Red Fog zone after making sure that no one noticed him.
Because of the ceremony, there were very few people here. It could be said that there was almost no one. Although the lights were bright, everyone went to the square. As for the signs and fences placed to prevent people from entering at night, Yu Yi directly ignored them. He looked around carefully and didn’t see a single monitor. Those people were too carefree, weren’t they? This road was to enter the Red Fog zone.
It was a forest on both sides of the road, though he knew that there was something in the forest. However, Yu Yi still came, as long as the guys in the forest did not suddenly attack him, there should be no problem.
After he went near to the Red Fog zone, the air obviously turned to crimson fog. Although it was very thin, it still blocked his field of view. Yu Yi also smelled the familiar scent of flowers. It was the fragrance of flowers in the sacrificial square, and it also appeared here… in the red fog. Although this red fog had not been observed and analyzed, it was certainly not a good thing. Yu Yi did not dare to cast an inspection on this thing. In case of success, it would be a set of inspiration SC plus the quality of 1D100. A lot of KP followed this routine.
To inspect and listen to something that was obviously strange was an act of suicide.
The red fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the lights ahead could be vaguely seen. The sound of people talking and walking around could be heard. There were people stationed here too. No riot for the time being. It seemed that Yatok and Opaci should have blended in. Yu Yi took out his mobile phone and issued an application to locate Yatok. Soon, Yu Yi got a reply and his location. Although there was no detailed map of this Floating Island, there was still a satellite map.
Under the cover of the red fog, Yu Yi kept away from the light and human voice as far as possible. He was crawling on the ground while holding his breath whenever a sound approached. The colored fog was an excellent cover-up.
When he reached the place where Yatok was, he reached out his hand and knocked on the plank softly. Soon, the plank door opened, and a man dressed almost exactly like those on patrol appeared. He looked around carefully and confirmed that it was Yu Yi and hurriedly let him in and closed the door.
“Oh, here you are at last.”
He took off his hat and showed his face. It was Opaci.
“I’ve come a long way, and the ceremony should have begun. Let’s blend in the crowd and find a way out later.”
Yu Yi vaguely smelled blood in the air, and the smell of blood drifted far away through the red fog, though they did not hear any fighting.
“You don’t have to rush. Let’s make a camouflage first. KP, I’m going to camouflage Yu Xing.”
Opaci took out a guard suit, which Yu Yi didn’t know where he got it from, and then dressed Yu Yi up. Fortunately, the clothes on his body were very loose, and the waist bag could be put directly inside the clothes without being found. Yu Yi put on an ordinary wooden mask, and then put on a headdress to cover his face completely. The whole camouflage process took less than ten minutes, and the effect turned out very well. Opaci’s pitch point should be very high.
“The camouflage is done. Let’s go. Yatok is probably so anxious right now.”
Looking at Yu Yi’s camouflage, Opaci nodded with satisfaction. He then put on his headdress, and the two almost identical guards left the hidden place one after another. Yu Yi would not ask them how they got this costume. Although Yatok was a newcomer, he had some experience. Since Yu Yi himself had made progress on his side, how could Yatok not gain anything?
Mingled in the red fog, they managed to meet with Yatok in the out-ring. After matching the code, they pretended to be guards patrolling around and moved leisurely toward the depths of the Red Fog zone.
