After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

Because she had been focused on mental and physical training, Leng Ran hadn't logged into the Star Wars game for a long time. When she stepped into this land again, she was automatically reborn in the town where she had previously logged off.

After Leng Ran was born, the first thing she did was open her mission panel, wanting to immediately start the mission of salvation and destruction.

[Mission status updated, mental level met, mission can be started at any time. Warning: Once the mission starts, it cannot be quit midway!]

Leng Ran decisively pressed the start button, and then a new message popped up.

[You are currently in a dangerous mission area. You cannot initiate the objective mission. Please leave this area and try again.]

What dangerous area? Does this town have hidden missions?

Leng Ran hadn't paid attention to where she had entered at the time. Now, seeing the system message, she immediately tried to find out the relevant information, but it was too late.

This town is shrouded in a layer of fog all year round. This fog is very special. It will automatically dissipate during the day when there is sunlight, but at night, the fog will gradually gather and form a natural maze.

Those outside will be trapped in a maze, unable to find their way into the town. Similarly, those inside the town will be unable to leave. If a player is still inside the town when night falls, they will not only be unable to leave, but also unable to log off voluntarily.

Therefore, this town also has another name, Ghost Fog, and is a famous "night prison" in Star Wars.

The sky was gradually darkening, and fog began to spread beyond the town. Leng Ran stepped out of the hut and stood on the edge of the town, gazing at the vast fog, tentatively releasing some spiritual energy.

If it were just ordinary fog used to obscure vision, Leng Ran could find a way out simply by using her mental powers.

Unfortunately, all the mental energy she used to investigate the situation vanished without a trace; this fog actually had the effect of blocking mental energy.

Leng Ran narrowed his eyes. As expected of Ghost Mist Town, this mist is indeed extraordinary.

She activated a mental barrier to prevent herself from being disturbed by the eerie fog, then stepped into the fog, closed her eyes, and walked straight forward.

Because his eyes were closed, Leng Ran's hearing became extremely sensitive, and he could faintly hear the eerie laughter of a young girl in the distance.

"whee--"

Leng Ran didn't open her eyes, but frowned slightly. She had already activated her mental barrier, and there was also a high-level barrier left by Zhao Fox, so she should not be able to be mentally controlled.

That laughter must not be a hallucination!

After walking for about ten minutes, the laughter grew closer and clearer, as if some unknown entity was whispering in her ear.

Suddenly, the world fell silent. After walking for another two minutes, and hearing no sound at all, I opened my eyes.

Before me lay a familiar, cozy town, with warm light filtering through the doors and windows, illuminating the night.

Undeterred, Leng Ran tried again, but failed once more. It seemed as if something was laughing incessantly in the fog, and the laughter would disappear once he left the fog's range.

She reopened the strategy forum, searching for ways to leave. After reading through the guides, she quietly found a soft patch of grass, lay down, and peacefully closed her eyes.

On the strategy forum, there is only one piece of advice for players who have been accidentally imprisoned in the night jail.

Wait until dawn!

For Leng Ran, it didn't matter where she slept. Since the problem could be solved by dawn, she didn't bother to make things difficult.

It's just sleeping in the game pod for one night. Once you close your eyes and fall asleep, you won't know anything.

Well, this patch of grass is actually quite comfortable... It's really nice to have such a soft patch of grass in a small town, just for players to sleep on.

Just as Leng Ran was preparing to drift off to sleep, a clear male voice came from behind her.

"Silver Moon?"

He opened his eyes coldly and looked in the direction of the voice. It was Zhao Yuheng, with Yue Qiufeng and an unfamiliar girl beside him.

"Hmm? Are you here to go to jail too?" Leng Ran patted the grass beside him. "It's quite soft. You can lie down here and sleep for the night. You'll be out tomorrow morning."

"This is a cemetery. Countless corpses lie beneath you," the strange girl said. "Look, that child NPC over there is burying bodies. Are you sure you want to sleep here?"

In the distance, a child was diligently digging a pit with a shovel, digging out the original NPC skeletons, putting them into a bag, then placing a new coffin inside, and finally filling the pit back up.

He seemed like a bugged NPC, constantly repeating the same action without showing any signs of fatigue.

"Oh, thanks for reminding me." She glanced coldly at the little boy, showing no reaction. She'd slept in piles of zombies before, let alone a graveyard in a simulation game.

Seeing Leng Ran's indifferent reaction, Zhao Yuheng curled the corners of his mouth.

The person my second uncle chose is really interesting.

The girl looked at him with surprise, noticing his indifference and his continued closing of his eyes.

Zhao Yuheng looked at Leng Ran, who was lying flat on the ground: "Yin Yue, do you want to get out of here soon and go back to your bed to rest?"

"Hmm? You have a way?" Leng Ran opened her eyes and met his gaze. "Tell me."

If she could get out, she could start the hidden quest sooner, finish it sooner, and get some rest.

"Let me introduce you. This is Professor Bai, a veteran member of the strategy team." Zhao Yuheng stepped aside, revealing the cold-faced girl behind him. "We have been invited by Professor Bai to come here today specifically to study the 'escape' method from Ghost Mist Town."

Professor Bai? A cold thought suddenly came to mind—the post about "hidden quests in the post-apocalyptic ruins" that I had seen before was posted by Professor Bai!

This must be the other person's nickname. Zhao Yuheng also uses a nickname to refer to himself, probably because he doesn't want to reveal his true identity. They probably don't know each other in the real world.

But the strategy team and Professor Bai sound quite reliable.

"Hello, Professor Bai." Leng Ran stood up, brushing the dirt off his hands. "So, what are your thoughts now?"

“I prefer evidence to empty words,” Professor Bai continued, “Come with me.”

Leng Ran didn't ask any more questions. Together with Yue Qiufeng, who was usually quiet, and Zhao Yuheng, who resembled Zhao the Fox, they followed Professor Bai toward the town center.

Professor Bai walked into a courtyard and pushed open the wooden door.

What came into view was a simple dining table with steaming food on it, but strangely, there was no one in the room.

Professor Bai visited several places in succession, and all of them presented the same bizarre scene.

"Aren't you curious where the NPCs went instead of eating the food that was just prepared?" Professor Bai asked calmly. "The place I'm taking you to next requires extra caution. Young Master Yu, please activate your mental concealment barrier."

“Okay.” Zhao Yuheng easily erected a mental barrier around the four people.

This was the first time Leng Ran had directly experienced Zhao Yuheng's mental strength. As a student that Storm Military Academy had locked in advance, his mental strength level was very high, possibly even level five.

Led by Professor Bai, the four of them ventured deeper into the town, where a tall, sturdy locust tree stood, visible from any corner of the town.

Professor Bai skillfully walked up a small staircase, climbed onto the roof of a house, and then used the momentum to reach the top of the building. He then signaled the three of them to follow.

The three of them followed Professor Bai's route, lying on the rooftop one after another, looking into the distance.

All the NPCs of Ghost Mist Town gathered here, sitting in circles around the locust tree, seemingly performing some kind of mysterious ritual.

Through the layers of people, one could see coldly that a magnificent throne was placed among the locust trees, and inside sat an exquisite doll, emitting eerie laughter!
