Upon reaching this place, Lu Ren discovered that the characters of Zhang Qingya, Luo Zixuan, and the others had changed drastically. It was as if they had become another person. All their actions were abnormal, as if they had been possessed by a ghost. All their previous actions had become abnormal. Their character had begun to become impatient, irritable, and impatient. They had no patience.

As a result, Lu Ren immediately distanced himself from the three of them. He was afraid that the three of them would start to fight and chop each other because of something trivial, and that blood would splash all over his body.

When he thought of this, Lu Ren instantly felt a chill run down his spine. In the beginning, his attention had been attracted by the strange environment around him. Although he had noticed what had happened to Zhang Qingya and the other two, he had always thought that it might be the stress reaction from falling into this alternate space, the change in the living environment, and the threat to his life.

When they arrived at the center of the black altar and discovered the abnormality, Zhang Qingya and the other two seemed to be possessed. No matter how Lu Ren tried to persuade them, they all wanted to ascend the altar. As a result, a mechanism was triggered, causing the System to call the so-called Evil God Lanaye to descend.

After resting for a while, Lu Ren rubbed his face to calm himself down. Only then did he attempt to summon the System in his mind.

“System? Gold Finger? Come out, Pikachu!”

No reaction?

Lu Ren thought for a while and finally spoke according to the usual routine.

“Attribute panel?!”

Just as this thought appeared, a character panel appeared in Lu Ren’s mind.

[Name: Lu Ren (Hunger, light injuries)]

[Mental Faculty: 5 (Proficiency 12 / 100)]

[Physical Constitution: 5 (Proficiency 5 / 100)]

[Strength: 5 (Proficiency 12 / 100)]

[Agility: 5 (Proficiency 6 / 100)]

[Skill: None]

Looking at the entire simple attributes panel in his mind, Lu Ren immediately felt excited. Although it was very simple, Lu Ren felt that there was no need to have such high expectations. It was not like he was playing an online game.

Fortunately, he did not find any channels for kryptonite recharge. There were no such kryptonite methods of Huaxia.

However, after pondering for a while in the car, he eventually discovered helplessly that apart from the attributes panel in his mind, there were no other functions except for some rule-based tips.

He felt a little low..

He had thought that he would be able to soar into the sky with a single leap, be peerlessly domineering, and embark on the invincible path?

Just this (shit)?

Fortunately, Lu Ren, who had not passed out, suddenly heard rustling and tremors in the quiet forest around him, and then there was silence.

He was suddenly shocked. Ever since they had arrived in this strange place, there had been no sound except the movement of their activities. The trees were still, and the river in the distance flowed very slowly. For a moment, Lu Ren even thought it was still.

They were silent for at least three minutes. There was no sign of life or movement. It was extremely quiet! It was as if the commotion earlier had been an illusion.

It looked like a lush green forest, but the extremely twisted and withered tree trunks seemed to have been formed by people who had suffered endless torture before they died. The cold feeling was enough to make one’s heart palpitate.

At this moment, Lu Ren realized that the trees, which had looked normal when they came, had become like this?!

Lu Ren tried his best to be calm. After he had gotten used to it, he tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart as he looked at the deep forest in front of him. The light from the pure white sky had difficulty filtering through the lush leaves and scattered onto the ground.

“Eh?!”

Looking ahead at the dark forest, faint light could be seen.

What was standing inside?

He was not curious about this at all. There was only shock in his heart. In such a strange place, curiosity could only accelerate his death. Regardless of whether Zhang Qingya and the others had been controlled or not, even if they had not, they were courting death by going to check on an altar in such a strange place that looked twisted no matter what.

They definitely did not want to be good.

[Ding.. The Stayer is secretly watching you and approaching you quickly to give you a hug.]

The sudden System prompts in his mind shocked Lu Ren. He immediately reacted and instinctively shrank back. He turned around and looked behind him, and was shocked to find a black shadow lunging towards him.

It was so fast that he could not react at all. He could only watch helplessly as the black shadow lunged toward his body.

Oh no, I’m done for?!

[You are suffering from a strange invasion. Your mind has been attacked. Passive increase of Proficiency+1]

[You are suffering from a strange invasion. Your mind has been attacked. Passive increase of Proficiency+1]

“You are suffering from a strange invasion..”

Lu Ren felt as if his head was splitting open. A terrifying sense of cold hit his entire body, as if the blood in his body had been frozen. He could not control his body at all, and everything turned dark.

His vision was blurry, he felt suffocated, cold, and stiff.

He could not move at all!

However, as he continued to suffer the strange, insidious cold attacks, under the System’s notifications that his Mental Faculty Proficiency Level kept increasing passively, his mental resilience kept increasing so his consciousness did not become extinguished.

He was struggling on the line between life and death.

Lu Ren gritted his teeth tightly. His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

He did not want to die, let alone die so mysteriously!

A minute later, Lu Ren felt the cold and stiffness in his body dissipate instantly. The warmth in his body returned, causing his body to turn soft. He collapsed to the ground and panted heavily.

[Ding.. The Stayer does not like your resistance. He has left your body and blacklisted you.]

With the System notification, saliva, tears, and snot returned to the control of consciousness. The stress reaction caused them to spew out instantly.

After a long while, Lu Ren slowly got up and sat up straight. After wiping his face with his clothes, his muscles automatically went into spasms and trembled. He held the tree trunk beside him and stood up.

To be honest, if it had not been for the constant notifications from the System and the passive increase in his Mental Faculty Proficiency Level, which also increased his mental resistance from the side, he would not have been able to withstand this step at all.

After everything had calmed down, Lu Ren called out to the System in his heart.

[Name: Lu Ren (Hunger, minor injuries, mental weakness)]

Mental Faculty: 5 (Proficiency 18 / 100)

Physical Constitution: 5 (Proficiency 5 / 100)

Strength: 5 (Proficiency 12 / 100)

[Agility: 5 (Proficiency 6 / 100)]

[Skill: None]

The thing just now was very scary. The black shadow had completely gotten into his body. If it had not been for the System’s constant increase in proficiency, which had increased his mental toughness and enabled him to block the attack of the strange thing, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Looking up at the dark forest, the depths of the black hole made his heart shiver. What else was hidden inside?

He could not stay in the car anymore. He had to find a safe place. If the depths of the forest were filled with these creepy things, God knew what he would encounter.

That altar was already terrifying enough.

Thinking of this, Lu Ren decisively got out of the car and walked out of the forest. The food in the car had already been plundered and eaten up yesterday.
