Besides Chen Mo being able to see it, at the same time, information about the Paper Doll Village appeared in everyone's consciousness as if it were a rule, leaving them stunned and speechless for a long time.

After three targets appeared in Chen Mo's mind, he realized something and immediately turned around to look at everyone's expressions.

He then realized that the Paper Doll Village had indeed provided a way for everyone to leave, but that was all; there were no hints, no background explanation…

Although the format is different, the information provided by the contract is more detailed, and others can see at least three objectives that need to be achieved.

"It really is a paper doll village, and there's no way out." Chen Mo swallowed hard, his heart sinking.

"No way out?" Chen Jingming was shocked. "We could have given up..."

"No, if we want to leave, we have to get through this secret realm..."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, with only suppressed breathing audible.

Finally, Chen Jingming's voice came: "Listen, the Paper Doll Village's files are top secret, and I don't know much about them, but you need to remember a few things."

"First, never trust anything that looks like a person, especially something dressed in a funeral shroud. There is no living person inside. Always remember this!"

"Second, do not easily enter any enclosed room. The bodies of those paper figures can blend into the same material, which means that even if they are outside, they can still attack the people inside the room."

"Third, you must stay calm, fear will attract them."

"Fourth, the only way out is to remember the words 'House of Origin,' though I don't know exactly what it is... I will try to get you out as soon as possible, but I'm not sure if I can succeed... Now it's up to you!"

"Keep in touch. Contact me immediately if there are any problems. I'll check the relevant information now and let you know if there's any progress... Be careful!"

Chen Mo felt extremely heavy-hearted at that moment: "Okay..."

The call ended, and the busy tone sounded particularly jarring in the thick fog.

Chen Mo put away his phone, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence, with only the slightly rapid breathing of the eight people.

"Brother Mo, what's going on?" Li Haojie's voice sounded a little hoarse from nervousness. "Have we been dragged into another dimension?"

"Did you receive the message too?"

Everyone nodded solemnly.

"This place is called Paper Doll Village. The only way to leave is to break through this secret realm or achieve your goal."

"Paper Doll Village?"

Chen Mo immediately repeated all the points his father had made, and also explained the task requirements.

Although no one knew where he had learned these things, no one asked any further questions at the moment.

"Why do I feel like I'm playing a dungeon?" Zhou Mingyu frowned, realizing that something was not so simple.

Chen Mo smiled bitterly to himself. Your intuition was right; don't rely on your feelings next time!

That's right, the beta version is about to end.

Su Yifan's expression was extremely serious: "Does that mean if we don't achieve our goal, we'll never be able to get out?"

"Wait, Paper Doll Village?" Jiang Mingyang carefully considered the information, and seemed to realize something, and was greatly surprised.

"You know?" Zhou Mingyu immediately looked over, and everyone else's eyes also focused on Jiang Mingyang.

Jiang Mingyang said with a bitter face: "I've only heard one version of the story, which is that there was a secluded village that was once famous for its paper-making skills."

"But there are rumors that decades ago, this village suffered a great calamity for violating some taboo and gradually fell into ruin. As soon as you step into the old village, you will see countless lifelike paper figures. They live among the abandoned houses, and they will imitate the visitors' every move, and even assimilate the visitors into paper figures..."

Li Haojie shuddered and rubbed his arms: "Really? Is it that weird?"

Lin Xiao had already distributed the tactical flashlights and tossed two tactical daggers to Li Haojie and Su Yifan.

Lin Xiao said in a low voice, "We're on a survival exploration mission now. Everyone understands the current situation, right? Wake up and get ready."

While listening to the story, Zhou Mingyu tried operating other electronic devices, and his expression turned sour.

All devices were affected by the interference to varying degrees, with most functions failing and the devices essentially paralyzed; only the mobile phone was still usable.

I don't know what the principle is.

Chen Mo didn't delve into it. If he knew the underlying principles, it wouldn't be the supernatural, but science...

Although everyone's faces were pale, none of them showed any panic.

During this period, Chen Mo led them on missions every night, and they had seen a lot of these things and learned many ways to counter them.

The problem most of them have now is that they lack combat power, not that they are completely ignorant.

Currently, the only capable fighters in the team are Chen Mo, Lin Xiao, Li Haojie, and Su Yifan. In dealing with humans, Li Haojie lacks professional training and can only be considered half a fighter. In dealing with ghosts, Lin Xiao cannot see yin energy, so he can only be considered half a fighter as well…

Among the group, Jiang Mingyang was probably the least familiar with each other, but his situation was somewhat special. Due to his research on folklore and urban legends, his level of expertise was second only to Chen Mo, and he was not as timid as Chen Mo.

Chen Xing stood firmly beside Chen Mo: "What should we do now?"

Chen Mo looked around at everyone, forcing himself to calm down. The words "The way home is lost" on the system panel kept stimulating his nerves.

The eight of them were inexplicably thrown into this desperate situation, with no way out! Only a strange village hidden in the thick fog and deathly silence lay ahead…

What should we do now?

His brain was working at lightning speed.

"Do as Brother Xiao says. Everyone check your belongings and take anything usable out of the car." Chen Mo's voice carried through the thick fog. "Right now, we have no choice but to go into the village."

A moment later, the eight people advanced in a slightly loose defensive formation, with Chen Mo leading the way and Lin Xiao bringing up the rear. They carefully stepped onto the dirt road leading to the village.
