One step forth, one step back.
Bho Jin found his legs were confused all on their own.
To go ahead or to stay back.
Hey... Even though he wanted to go on this big adventure, a part of him was still terrified, though not so much since they were in a large group.
There was sothing about being in a group that made things better.
In honor movies, those at the back and the front got attacked first. So should he pull his grandfather and stay in the middle?
No! Such a thing would be cowardly!
Or so his righteous self thought because in the next mont, his body reacted faster than his thoughts.
And before he knew it, he was walking down the boat's rusting bridge in the middle of the group.
!..!
The gang of normies led by Dorian finally placed their feet on the strange bluish-purple soil.
"How peculiar..." Gia Ming comnted.
The feeling the ground gave them was indescribable.
What sort of soil was this?
One couldn't say it was mushy, and one couldn't say it was rugged or sturdy.
It was... It was just weird.
So of the officers wondered if they could take a sample.
But after considering it, who knows if the soil would leave so defects on their being after getting in contact with it?
The Grandmaster said this place is a fitting place. So the soil should also have such a deadly effect, no?
Everyone knew the price of being too greedy. So they curbed their curiosity, not daring to touch anything without approval.
At least, they were Navy personnel and well-trained guards. Imagine if so crazed scientist had co here?
Such people would damn the consequences and take what they so deed fit.
"The things of this place must never leave this place."
Dorian's words echoed in their minds. And Gia Ming secretly swore that even if they found survivors, they would search them all before taking them out.
You must be joking!
What if taking anything from here will make their world rot instead?
Don't even think about it!

"Stay close."
Dorian's words were like a heavenly command. And everyone flowed behind him like ducklings following their mother.
Into the strange forest they went.
The bare trees were the tallest they had ever seen and the most crooked.
No leaves were in sight, whether on the forest floors or the trees themselves.
The scene made them feel like ants walking past several towering flower stalks.
--Silence--
Except for the strange sounds from the forest, the terrorizing burden of the dreadful silence only heightened their senses even more.
Old Bho didn't know when, but he and the others had long been walking on their tippy toes like creepers in the night.
No... It was more accurate to say they were walking like T-rexs with their hands curved forward and their heads swiftly turning left, right, front, back, and all directions one could think of.
They began to sll, hear and feel things they wouldn't normally notice.
And soon, one of the Bho guards let out a weakened cry, stamring and pointing at a space far to the left.
The poor man looked livid.
"I, I, I... I saw sothing... I saw sothing in there!"
What?!!!
Everyone looked around, now subconsciously feeling they were being watched.
Gia Ming clenched his fist, trying to get a group on himself.
"You... What..." He stalled guard through his constricted throat. "Please, tell us... What did you see?"
The frantic guard placed his hands on his head in horror.
"This is it, right? In honor movies, the one who sees it first is also the one who gets to die first, right?"
Bho Jin wanted to say comforting words, but according to his horror movie knowledge, it was always the case.
"Good Heavens! I'm going to die."
