Chapter 32 Death Trap

"Are there other kinds of monsters hiding in the woods?"

Lu Linhai was a little anxious, after all, he was the most suspicious at this moment.

Zhou Kai shook his head and said, "I can sense even other types of monsters."

"It can't be that this kind of monster not only has no smell, doesn't need to breathe, it doesn't even have a heartbeat."

"Maybe it's this kind of monster." Lu Linhai continued.

"We don't know much about these monsters. There may really be a monster hiding in the woods that has no smell, no need to breathe, and no heartbeat."

"It's not impossible. The jellyfish doesn't have a heartbeat yet. Why does the monster have to have a heartbeat?"

"Okay, even if there is such a monster, it must take action when it kills us. Once the monster takes action, I can feel it." Zhou Kai said with a frown.

"Is it possible that this kind of monster is so powerful that it can kill us instantly before we notice it?"

"If such monsters really exist, then we shouldn't run away. We are no match for them."

Zhou Kai thought for a while and added: "Besides, according to what Lin Yi said, in his previous time review, Uncle An went in alone once. If there really is such a monster, why didn't he take action against Uncle An?"

"Perhaps he wants to catch us all in one fell swoop." Lu Linhai retorted.

"Kill them all in one fell swoop. This monster is so powerful. Do you still need to use this trick to deal with us?"

Lin Yi didn't speak. He began to recall what happened after returning to the past several times recently.

Thinking about it carefully, whether it was Lu Linhai who turned into a monster on June 9, or his parents who turned into monsters on June 10, it seemed that they were just monsters in front of Lin Yi.

They didn't take action against Lin Yi, but Lin Yi still died.

Moreover, these two time regressions have one thing in common, that is, before Lin Yi died, he felt severe pain, as if his body was being torn apart.

Since the monster didn't take action, why did Lin Yi feel pain?

In addition to this, Lin Yi also remembered one thing.

Lin Yi felt a headache every time he entered the woods, as if his soul was being torn apart. It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

However, if Lin Yi remembered correctly, the last time he returned to the woods, An Chengdao had entered the woods alone to confirm whether it was safe.

After An Cheng came out, he didn't feel any discomfort.

After thinking about it, Lin Yi suddenly had a creepy guess in his mind.

His eyes slowly moved towards Zhou Kai's backpack, which contained the indispensable key to leaving the city.

"Key." Lin Yi shouted in surprise.

"Key? What happened to the key?" Lu Linhai didn't understand why Lin Yi suddenly mentioned the key.

Zhou Kai on the side quickly grabbed the backpack on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the key was still in the bag.

"The key is still inside." Zhou Kai said.

"We entered the woods twice and died when the red light completely filled the key." Lin Yi spoke with a trembling voice.

"When the key turned completely red, I felt a strong headache, everything in front of me began to blur, and the whole world seemed to be spinning."

"Moreover, my body was out of control, my consciousness became more and more blurred, and then I went back to the past."

"so......"

When he said this, Lin paused.

This speculation is extremely bad news for them.

"Could it be that this thing is not the key to leaving here at all, but the cause of our death?"

"Impossible." Zhou Kai was a little excited. "The information Uncle An found clearly stated that this thing is the key. If there is no key, we will die once we get close to the edge of the city."

"But wouldn't we have died if we held the key?" Lu Linhai whispered, "Lin Yi came back to the present only after he died. He died several times."

"That doesn't mean there's something wrong with the key." Zhou Kai argued.

"Lin Yi also said that there is indeed a red light coming out of the key, which means that the content in the information is correct."

"What if the information Uncle An found... was a trap from the beginning?" Lin Yi expressed his guess.

"The skeleton that Uncle An found clearly had the key, but did not leave here. Instead, it died on the edge of the city. Now think about it, is it very similar to the situation we encountered?"

Zhou Kai opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

For them, Lin Yi was the only one who had entered the woods during this time.

If there was a monster in the woods, or if they were chased by a monster, it was impossible for Lin Yi not to remember it.

"And, there is one more thing." Perhaps because of calming down, Lin Yi's thoughts began to become clear.

"The future will change because of what I do when I go back to the past, but what has happened in the past will not change."

"For example, the graduation dinner and singing on June 9th, and my birthday on June 10th." Lin Yi continued.

"But these two times, after I went back in time, I found that things in the past were different."

"My parents didn't kill me right after I made my birthday wish, and even started to comfort me after I showed panic because I was afraid."

"And Lu Linhai, he shouldn't be a monster." Lin Yi, who calmed down, was sure of this. After all, he had killed Lu Linhai before.

"What does 'should' mean? I'm definitely not a monster!" Lu Linhai interrupted.

"Don't say anything yet." Lin Yi glared at him and then said, "But this time on June 9, Lu Linhai turned into a monster."

"You mean, the past timeline has changed?" Zhou Kai asked.

"Lu Linhai... was killed by a monster in advance and then replaced?"

Lin Yi shook his head: "I think it's not that the past timeline has changed, but that these two time regressions are simply fake."

"Fake?" Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"These two time regressions may be hallucinations I saw, and they are not real at all." Lin Yi explained.

"After the key turned red, I started having a headache. I thought I had gone back in time, but in fact I just saw hallucinations related to the past."

"Because I remember what happened in the past, but because I was afraid, the hallucinations changed according to my fear, and I saw a different past."

"Then why did you die?" Zhou Kai asked, "Even if these two times were hallucinations, the fact that you returned to the woods before and this time means that you are indeed dead. Can hallucinations also kill people?"

"I don't know if hallucinations can kill people." An Chengdao on the side suddenly spoke.

He frowned and said in a calm voice: "But there is something that can definitely kill us."

"A special device installed on the edge to prevent humans in the city from escaping without permission. Once humans approach, they will be killed immediately."

"But we have the key in our hands." Zhou Kai said.

"That's why I said the key was fake from the beginning, just a trap." Lin Yi's face became a little solemn, "I was not killed by the hallucination, but my body was out of control after seeing the hallucination."

"My consciousness was immersed in hallucinations, but my body kept moving forward. Just as I was approaching the edge of the city, those devices killed me."

"That's why I felt a severe pain in my body that was being torn apart."
