Lin Yan woke up again while she was in a car driving on a mountain road.
Opening her eyes, she surveyed the situation inside the car. There were two men and two women in total, including herself. She was sitting in the back seat behind the driver.
Although she couldn't see the car's logo, the feel of the leather seats beneath her told her this car was certainly expensive.
"Lin Yan, you're awake. Are you feeling any better?" the person in the passenger seat noticed Lin Yan open her eyes and turned to ask with concern.
Lin Yan felt her body and replied softly, "Much better, but I'm still a bit dizzy."
"Then you should rest more. These mountain roads are so winding. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"Yes, Lin Yan, we still have a long way to go to our destination. Sleep a bit more, it will be more comfortable," said the driver as well.
"Yan Yan, do you want some water? I'll get it for you," the girl next to Lin Yan said. However, despite her words, she made no move.
"Thank you, no need. I'll sleep a bit longer," Lin Yan closed her eyes again and began to contact the system to prepare to receive the plot.
"Then Yan Yan, you continue resting." Although the girl beside her spoke with concern, her gaze towards Lin Yan held jealousy.
Lin Yan closed her eyes and didn't notice, but the system spoke up.
"Host, the attitude of the person next to you is a bit strange." The system had noticed the woman's odd look towards Lin Yan; it could still distinguish the look of concern.
"Mm, I noticed too." However, Lin Yan didn't pay attention to the person beside her. She wasn't a universal charmer, how could she make everyone like her?
Moreover, everyone has their preferences, and even a universal charmer couldn't make everyone like them.
"Transfer the memories to me."
"Understood, Host." As soon as the system finished speaking, a slight dizziness washed over Lin Yan, and she felt new memories enter her mind.
This time, Lin Yan's identity was a recent university graduate. Due to her family's considerable wealth, she had no pressure to find employment. After graduation, she accepted an invitation from some friends to join this trip.
There were eight people on this trip, five men and three women, all of whom were Lin Yan's high school classmates. Lin Yan hadn't originally planned to come, but the girl sitting next to her had a close relationship with Lin Yan's family, and they had grown up together.
In the period before graduation, she had continuously invited Lin Yan. Lin Yan, thinking she would have nothing to do after graduation, agreed to her invitation and joined this trip.
However, upon arrival, she realized this trip might have been planned for a long time. But since she was already here, she could only continue.
What's more, these were all her high school classmates, living in the same city, and their families' businesses were interconnected. If she outright refused, it would be too impolite.
Eight people, three cars. One car for a couple, one car for the four of them, and one car for the two boys.
They were on a road trip, heading to a villa in the mountains. Lin Yan couldn't understand why they had so many other places to go but insisted on a mountain villa.
Of course, this was the author's setting; without it, how could they gather this group of people to continue the story?
Lin Yan's current memories were only those of the original body, which didn't offer much help.
"System, you should have collected all the information about this world from the forum, right?"
"Yes, Host." The system then began to relay the information it had gathered from the forum, though due to censorship, there wasn't much it could obtain.
"This is a horror film with certain elements of horror and the supernatural. However, Host, as you know, due to censorship, supernatural events are not allowed in horror films now.
Therefore, there are no real ghosts in it; all supernatural phenomena can be explained scientifically. But what exactly happened in this villa has been completely censored.
All that is known is that all eight people died in this villa, with no survivors. Later, something happened, and a virus suddenly appeared in the world, leading to its downfall.
All humans were infected and died; no one could research an antidote. The main god traced the cause of the world's destruction back to this event.
However, many hosts who took on this mission failed here. And the people in this world might be awakening their own consciousness.
If a few more hosts entered, they might see through the true nature of this world. Such individuals are very dangerous to hosts, which is why this mission was assigned to you by the main god."
Their host's excellence had left a significant mark on the main god.
"It seems these people did something, or rather, saw or came into contact with something," Lin Yan thought.
"System, can you help me investigate these people's pasts?" Lin Yan paused. "Focus on their high school years."
"Understood, Host." The system agreed and began its investigation.
Since she had already arrived in this world, there were more things she could do.
"Lin Yan, Lin Yan. Wake up, wake up. We've arrived." Someone was gently calling her name by her ear.
Lin Yan obediently opened her eyes and saw that the car had stopped at an intersection. Ahead, a fallen tree blocked the road. The tree wasn't very thick but completely obstructed the path.
