Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 909 The Legend of the Dark River 241

During the break, everyone stopped to drink water slowly.

Su Zhe remarked with a sigh, "The people here live more freely than we did back then."

“They are just struggling to make a living. Many of them may have some financial pressure, but they don’t worry about losing their lives all the time,” Xie Qidao said.

Su Changli didn't want to think about the past: "Let's keep climbing. I want to take the cable car down the mountain."

Hiking is indeed not difficult for most people, but the cable car has attracted more attention.

When we came down, we were still a little reluctant to leave.

The next day, just as they were preparing to continue to the next stop, they were informed that they were to enter the world of rules.

Seeing this, everyone could only hurry back to Pumpkin City and go play again when they returned, or perhaps set off again next time they had the chance.

It was another snowy landscape, and Li Chu skillfully picked up a piece of paper from the ground.

Welcome to the world of "Cloud Feathers" - a world of strange and fantastical rules.

It's a familiar world again, only the memories are from a long time ago.

First, please choose your identity.

Is this a new way to play? Li Chu raised an eyebrow and continued reading.

Identity 1: A bride awaiting selection at the palace gate

If you don't choose this one, the treatment of the brides-to-be isn't very good, and there are many restrictions.

Identity Two: Person of Unknown Identity

This... is pending.

Identity Three: Palace Gate Maid/Guard

I won't choose this one for now. It requires being obedient and serving others, which can sometimes lead to being taken advantage of.

Identity Four: The Unsung Assassin

I think many people would choose this, since it's their job and they're quite familiar with it.

However, it's not impossible for a female assassin to also become a bride-to-be.

In the end, Li Chu chose identity two.

While there is a risk of being suspected by others, people with unknown identities don't really matter to them, and they have more room to maneuver.

After the selection was made, the text on the paper changed, and rules appeared.

You are now a person without identity or origin, and you are in the back mountain of the palace gate.

Please remember to follow the rules below, or you will be responsible for the consequences.

Rule 1: You need to gain the trust of at least three people inside the palace.

Rule Two: Successfully settle in at the palace gate.

Rule 3: Remember, you need a skill or value to survive safely.

After reading the rules, Li Chu thought about it. There were very few rules this time, which could be simple or difficult.

I don't know what the level of trust is in Rule One.

You can't have 100% trust, that would be too complicated.

As she walked towards the Snow Palace, she thought to herself that it was more interesting than the other two palaces on the back mountain.

"Who are you??"

As Li Chu walked to the edge of a pool, she heard a question.

She looked up and saw a white-haired, expressionless child named Yukishigeko.

"Who are you? Where is this?"

Hearing her question instead of an answer, Xue Zhongzi didn't react: "The forbidden area in the back mountain, who are you, and why have you stepped into this place?"

"Forbidden area? I didn't see any signs. I didn't know this was a forbidden area, and I just happened to come here."

"Then who exactly are you?" Yukishigeko didn't seem to believe her words; she still didn't believe her.

"Kid, why should I tell you if you're not going to tell me?" Li Chu said calmly.

"If you don't talk, I'll have no choice but to arrest you."

"I don't even know how I got here. Even if I told you, you wouldn't recognize me."

Upon hearing this, Yukishigeko fell silent. That's true, but it's wrong for someone to enter the back mountain.

He didn't actually sense any malice from this person, and judging from her expression, she didn't seem to be lying.

Moreover, she was dressed in strange clothes, completely unlike anyone he had ever seen before.

Although I don't know what the people outside the palace gates are like, I don't think it's like that.

"No outsiders are allowed to enter the back mountain. If you leave now, I will let you go."

"It's already dark, and I have nowhere to go if I leave now. I've exhausted all my strength walking here. Kid, can I stay here for the night?"

Li Chu glanced at the sky, seemingly unconcerned about his threats and his soft heart.

"No, the back mountain..." Xue Chongzi disagreed without even thinking.

Li Chu interrupted him: "I know, I know, outsiders can't come to the back mountain. You've said it several times. I'll just stay for one night. Don't worry, I'll pay you."

As she spoke, she pulled a new cell phone out of her pocket.

"This is the most valuable thing I have. It's a treasure; you can see anything inside."

Hehe, taking advantage of the fact that the strange people of this world are naive and haven't seen much of the world, especially the people behind the palace gate, they're so easy to fool.

Besides, both Daxue and Xiaoxue are curious about the outside world.

Even if it becomes something supernatural, it will still be restricted and will still be affected by it.

"You can see everything?" Yukishigeko looked at the black object in her hand, somewhat disbelieving and skeptical.

"Of course, tell me what you want to see and I'll find it for you."

She communicated with Xiao Qi telepathically: "Xiao Qi, connect this phone to the internet, and do it quickly."

"Okay, host, I'll connect you to that weird, modern Wi-Fi network next door."

"Doesn't the system have an internet connection? Why is it connecting to Wi-Fi across different systems?"

"Hehe, it's free, and it belongs to someone else, so why not use it? Besides, you're giving it away as a gift, so it's perfect for connecting to the neighbor's internet."

"Too."

After a moment of silence, Yukiko spoke: "Can you really see everything? Can you see the desert?"

He wanted to see if this person was lying to him.

"So you wanted to see the desolate desert with its lone smoke rising from the sky. Fine."

Li Chu turned on her phone; the internet was already connected. She immediately found a video of the desert, which was quite easy to find with internet access.

She had many photos of the desert on her own phone, but she didn't plan to take them out.

"Look, there are camels too." After finding them, Li Chu pressed play and turned the phone towards Xue Zhongzi.

Yukishige was surprised to see that what was originally dark suddenly lit up; she hadn't expected that she could actually see the desert.

He took two steps forward and watched from a certain distance.

The video was a little over two minutes long, and Li Chu, too lazy to hold the phone up the whole time, simply tossed it to him.

Yukishige quickly caught it, her gaze remaining fixed on it.

He was very surprised by the thing and also very curious about the desert scenery.

I reached out to touch the screen, but I didn't feel any sand.

Li Chu didn't disturb him. This person was so naive because he had been locked up in the back mountain for so many years and had never left the house.

Seeing a desert made me lower my guard.

Two minutes passed quickly. Xue Zhongzi saw that the call had been paused and was still a little reluctant to leave, so he returned the phone to Li Chu.

"So? I didn't lie to you, did I? This treasure is for you. Is it enough for me to stay here for a while?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to stay the night?" Although Yukishige felt that she was pushing her luck, her tone was no better than before.

Li Chu could naturally tell that he was interested in the phone and was somewhat inclined to agree.
