Do you really believe it?"
The shadow hesitated for a moment, then asked again.
"I believe it!"
Stark's tone was firm.
"That's good."
"Then I'll tell you."
"The man behind the scenes, he's in Ghost Village, he's a disfigured young man."
"When you get there, you'll naturally see him."
Ghost Village?
Disfigured young man??
Stark's eyes narrowed, and the village he had seen earlier while passing by instantly appeared in his mind.
Was that village Ghost Village?
He thought about the uncomfortable feeling the village had given him, and a flash of realization crossed his mind.
"No wonder it gave me such a bad feeling."
"That village is probably the source of evil!"
He had already felt there was something wrong with that village.
Now.
Coupled with the shadow's words, he immediately made up his mind to go and investigate the village.
However.
At this moment.
He suddenly noticed a clean A4 sheet of paper under his feet.
An A4 sheet of paper wouldn't normally catch Stark's attention.
But.
In such a remote and dark place.
There was a clean A4 sheet of paper, without a speck of dust.
This was inherently a very incredible thing.
So.
Stark stopped, and subconsciously picked up the A4 paper.
[Silent Land Bizarre Tales Handbook]
Stark's spirit was shaken.
He inexplicably felt that this handbook was likely related to this eerie dark space.
So.
He began to read the text on it.
Silent Land Rule One: Do not act against others without cause!
Silent Land Rule Two: You must sleep at 23:00 at night!
Silent Land Rule Three: When you make eye contact with Mary Shaw, never scream!
Silent Land Rule Four: When you hear "one, two, three" in your ear, you must remain vigilant. When this sound repeats for the third time, you must give the correct response!
Silent Land Rule Five: When a shadow appears before you, you must never believe what it says!
Silent Land Rule Six: Do not sleep during the day!
Silent Land Rule Seven: When your phone rings with a special ringtone, it's best to immediately delete the contacts in your address book!
Silent Land Rule Eight: ??
Silent Land Rule Nine: ??
Silent Land Rule Ten: ??
Silent Land?
Bizarre Tales Rules?
Looking at the fifth rule, Stark's heart skipped a beat.
Shadow?
He looked at the shadow standing motionless before him, like a piece of wood.
Such a strange shadow.
In this eerie space, there should only be one, right?
This Bizarre Tales Handbook states not to believe the shadow's words.
What does this mean?
Could it be that this shadow is problematic?
What would happen if he believed its words?
Stark, who had originally planned to go to Ghost Village, suddenly became wary.
He stared at the shadow in front of him.
He increasingly felt that this shadow was very strange.
As if.
It wasn't a living person.
"...There's a problem!"
"There's definitely a problem!!"
Stark thought for a moment, feeling that although the rules recorded in the Bizarre Tales Handbook he found couldn't be fully trusted.
But, they couldn't be ignored either.
After all, things that could exist within this eerie space.
Couldn't be simple.
To be cautious.
Stark gave up his plan to go to Ghost Village, and slowly moved away from the shadow.
The shadow, however, remained still.
But its eyes were constantly fixed on Stark.
Numb, lifeless.
Even as Iron Man, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Damn it, why does this shadow feel like a vengeful spirit?"
When he was ten meters away, Stark suddenly flew up, quickly fleeing towards other places.
The shadow, from beginning to end, made no movement.
It just let Stark leave.
"Boss, he's gone."
"As you commanded, I didn't kill him."
The shadow suddenly murmured.
"Well done, Loki."
"This is your reward!"
A power of Bizarre Tales Rule descended from the air and entered Loki's body.
The somewhat dim shadow suddenly solidified quite a bit.
It even showed some color.
"Thank you for the reward, Boss!"
As the words fell, the shadow gradually disappeared, drifting with the wind between heaven and earth.
Su Lin's gaze, meanwhile, fell on Stark.
For the famous Iron Man of his previous life, he naturally had a bit of admiration.
So.
He decided to take a good look at him before he died.
"If I miss this chance, I won't have the opportunity to see a normal Iron Man again."
