“Who cares? When they get frightened out of their wits later and run out in a hurry, that’ll be fun to watch!”
Many onlookers discussed among themselves, obviously horrified by the situation at the Devil’s Courtyard. They
were also unimpressed by Philip and Laurie.
Laurie and Philip paid no heed to these people. A white light flashed before them. When they opened their eyes
again, they had arrived in another place.
The sky, ground, and scenery around them were blood-red at a glance. A strong smell of blood lingered in the air,
and many aimless skeletons drifted around like clouds.

one’s soul, so we need to be careful. Although we’re here to observe, we may be affected too,” Laurie reminded
Philip.
“Let’s be careful then. By the way, what are we observing? Is it the surrounding environment or something else?”
Philip could not help asking, and Laurie shook her head.
“The environment is important but not the most important thing. We need to find out the special features of this
place, such as who those skeletons will attack, what traps they have here, and other things,” Laurie explained.
”In this way, if we‘re assigned to this place, we’ll have a slight chance of winning. From what I know, this place is full
of danger and not just the ones you can see,” Laurie added.
Hearing this, Philip perked up and looked around but did not notice anything. Except for the bloody smell which was
very strange, there was no danger.
“Let’s walk around. We only have one chance, so we must cherish it,” Laurie reminded him and walked into the
distance, while Philip frowned as he looked at her back.
He felt that Laurie was a bit unusual as if she knew everything, but he did not know her background, so he
pretended not to notice and followed her.
After walking for a while, Philip suddenly felt that the surrounding weather had changed. The wind roared and dust
billowed, and the visibility was reduced by more than ten meters in an instant.
“What’s going on? Are there ghosts?” Philip joked.

“Ghosts? Can you stop scaring me?” Laurie shuddered and fumed at Philip.
She even pouted and looked very cute.
“Hehe, I was just joking. Don’t mind me,” Philip said and started looking around.
He quickly discovered several figures in the distance. Their figures did not look very clear, but they definitely looked
like people.
“There are people over there. Is this the so-called training?” Philip reminded, and Laurie shook her head.
“I’m not sure. To be honest, it’s my first time here too, but I heard that they won’t pose a threat to the trainees, so
let’s just make way for them,” Laurie said as she pulled Philip back, making way for those figures.
