Chapter 764 - 764 764 Same Experience

764: Chapter 764 Same Experience 764: Chapter 764 Same Experience Just as he feared, Gu Fan had to park the car on the side of the road, quickly grabbing his phone to call Su Hui and inform her about the car malfunction.

“Alright, Gu Fan, be careful.

If you notice anything strange, don’t act without us,” Su Hui warned like a mother hen, and Gu Fan assured her he understood and wouldn’t do anything reckless.

After ending the call, Gu Fan gingerly surveyed the pitch-blackness surrounding them.

He was reluctant to leave the car, as he recalled various bizarre stories about the forest he’d come across online, such as sightings of strange, humanoid monkeys by people who were passing through.

With so many animals likely to be active in the dead of night, staying in the car seemed the safest option.

Gu Fan decided to await help calmly.

However, Qian Ye, who was braver and more confident, shockingly opened the car door and stepped out.

Gu Fan was taken aback, “What are you doing?”

“Don’t you find it stifling in the car?

Let’s get some fresh air,” Qian Ye suggested, winking at Gu Fan.

After a moment’s hesitation, Gu Fan decided to step out as well.

Once out of the car, a chilly wind blew past, causing him to shiver and huddle inside his clothes.

The wild outdoors was certainly colder than he had expected.

Just as Gu Fan was thinking about returning to the warmth of the car, Qian Ye pointed towards the woods, “Gu Fan, look, there’s a light over there.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan turned to look and sure enough, amidst the pitch-black forest, he could see faint flickering lights.

It was unexpected, for he hadn’t seen those before.

How did they appear all of a sudden?

Naturally, Gu Fan had an idea why this was happening.

Since the car malfunctioned, he had a dreadful premonition that they were being watched – and now the lights.

He didn’t have any other choice, so he called Su Hui again, “Hey, Sister Su, I’ve seen lights in the forest, just like what you mentioned before.”

“Alright, don’t do anything rash.

Wait for us to get there,” Su Hui instructed before telling Zhuo Hang to speed up.

Gu Fan was utterly serious when he replied, “Don’t worry, Sister Su, I won’t make a move until you get here.”

After ending the call, Gu Fan took a deep breath.

With a plan in mind, he hoped to stay out of danger.

However, when he turned around, he noticed Qian Ye walking towards the lights, causing him to yelp, “Qian Ye, where are you going?”

“To check it out, wouldn’t you want to satisfy your curiosity?” Qian Ye responded, continuing to head towards the lights.

Gu Fan quickly caught up, “Sister Su just said, we should wait for them.”

“Do you think the lights will wait for that long?” Qian Ye asked gravely.

She added, “When Sister Su and the others get here, the enemy might start suspecting something and kill the lights.

Then it would be impossible to investigate the matter and save Zhang Yang and Yang Xinran.

How do you think you’ll face Uncle Zhang then?”

Gu Fan felt a lump in his throat.

He thought Qian Ye made a valid point.

If they missed this opportunity, it was unlikely they’d get another chance.

According to what Zhuo Hang had said, they had traversed the same road several times, but the lights in the mysterious ancient town had never illuminated before.

It seemed like the ancient town had sensed something amiss after a single encounter with Zhuo Hang and his team.

While Gu Fan was lost in contemplation, Qian Ye continued confidently towards the lights.

She even turned and reassured him, “What are you afraid of?

I’ve told you I’ll protect you as long as you follow my lead.”

Gu Fan decided to trust Qian Ye and contacted Su Hui via his phone.

Initially, Su Hui did not approve of his risky plan, but Zhuo Hang thought it was viable.

“Alright, I’ll be careful,” Gu Fan said after hanging up the call, hurriedly following Qian Ye’s pace.

Qian Ye appreciated his courage, “That’s right.

A man should be brave.

Lin Xi chose you for a reason in her previous life.”

“Really?” Gu Fan managed a small smile, his eyes fixated on the lights in the dark forest.

Sure enough, just as Su Hui had said, a narrow path emerged as they walked, seemingly leading to the lights.

Since they had come this far, retreat wasn’t an option.

Gu Fan and Qian Ye embarked on the narrow path, gradually moving towards the lights.

As the distance closed in, Gu Fan’s heartbeat accelerated.

He instinctively reached for Qian Ye’s hand, treating her as Lin Xi, for the time being.

Qian Ye, confident in her supernatural powers, wasn’t scared at all.

As she sensed Gu Fan’s dependence on her, a small smirk played on her lips.

Eventually, they reached the entrance to an ancient town.

Everything was precisely as Su Hui had described.

But Gu Fan, now prepared, planned to look back to make sure the path was still there.

Just as Gu Fan was about to turn around, Qian Ye cautioned, “Don’t look back, we wouldn’t want to raise any suspicions.”

Hearing this, Gu Fan frowned but followed suit, entering the mysterious ancient town with his heart pounding.

Entering the town meant facing unforeseeable danger.

“Dear God, please keep me safe,” Gu Fan prayed, hoping that, as the Destiny Stone had ordained him, he wouldn’t be trapped in the town.

He should stride forward confidently.

Despite this thought, his unease made him stiff, causing him to walk awkwardly.

Contrarily, Qian Ye was calm – strolling on the deserted streets as if back home.

“Is this the difference between having powers and not having them?” Gu Fan remarked, trying to keep up with Qian Ye’s pace.

However, an eerie silence enveloped the town – not a soul was visible – could it really be as Su Hui had described?

On both sides of the streets, red lanterns hung from the houses, swaying in the wind.

Gu Fan and Qian Ye’s shadows flickered, making Gu Fan even more anxious.

Next, an old man should suddenly appear behind them, as per Su Hui’s description.

As Gu Fan was recalling Su Hui’s words, he noticed something wrong with their shadows.

A third figure was gradually catching up to them from behind – a figure that swiftly turned two shadows into three.

Gu Fan and Qian Ye almost simultaneously noticed this.

They also knew what was about to happen.

In the presence of the third shadow, they were generally uncomfortable, with an uncanny resemblance to a devil – even Qian Ye seemed nervous.

“He’s here, definitely here.

Oh my God!” Although Gu Fan was mentally prepared, he still nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard a voice from behind.

“Are you guests from outside?” The old man greeted cordially, startling Gu Fan into clutching his chest.

Fortunately, Qian Ye was composed.

She turned back to see an old man with kind eyes and a friendly smile, just as Su Hui had described.

She responded with a small smile, and Gu Fan too, eventually calmed down.
