Chapter 351
Charmine walked as she swam in her thoughts, but it became stranger the more she walked. She was
sure she had passed this particr area… Why was she back in the same area?
She remembered that it took less than half an hour to get to Rex’s hut from the entrance of the vige,
yet she had walked for over an hour already. Why was she not out yet?
She stopped dead in her tracks and eyed her surroundings.
Her surroundings were dimly lit by the moonlight. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, just some huts
sitting not far away from where she stood.
Perhaps she was too caught up with her thoughts that she did not pay attention to her surroundings?
She focused on the path in front of her and continued walking.
Despite that, she found no way out even as she walked. She always returned at the same spot by the
ridge.
How peculiar.
All of a sudden, rain fell from the sky. It was not too heavy, nothing like a downpour, but it was enough
to drench anyone.
“Charmine!” called a gentle yet urgent voice.
Julian ran up to her and removed his suit to cover her head. “It’s raining. Why don’t we look for a
shelter?” he offered as he reached out to hold her, seemingly worried.
“Cut the bullsh*t!” Charmine pulled off his suit and tossed it back at him. “Tell me, what’s up with the
path?”
“It’s a long story, and I just realized it as well. Let’s find a shelter first, and I’ll tell you ther.”
With that, Julian covered Charmine with his suit again and walked in front of her. Charmine did not
want to follow him, but everything seemed so strange. It did not help that the rain got heavier by the
minute, thus she had no choice but to follow him.
With Julian taking the lead, both of them eventually arrived at a pitch-dark cave, but Julian used his
phone as a torch to light up the cave.
Both Julian and Charmine were drenched, and that went especially for Julian as his white shirt was
completely wet. Even his hair had beads of water dripping down from it.
He looked at Charmine. “Come on in to rest. The entrance is too chilly.”
Charmine tossed him his suit and asked impatiently, “What is it?”
She did not want to spend any more time with him in the cave.
Julian did not expect her to be so rude even after being drenched, but he eventually relented as he
exined, “When I came out to chase after you, Rex told me that there’s a nickname for this vige,
and they call it the Ghost Vige. No one can get out of here when night falls, and that even goes for
the vigers who live here.”
Ghost Vige?
Charmine scoffed, “Do you think I’m still a three-year-old girl?”
“Of course, I wouldn’t lie to you. You’ve changed so much after all these years, so you should’ve heard
about this. With a special designing method, an architect could create the effect of a ghost town that
keeps anyone from getting out.

“This vige and the huts were built ording to this principle. No one can leave this ce without
adequate light when night falls,” added Julian.
Charmine frowned. She knew about that principle.
To exin it, any living thing would travel in circles should they have no clear intention. If the
surroundings or the signs appeared simr, a passerby would keep traveling in a circle.
That went especially at night. Even with the help of a torch, the visibility waspromised while the
surroundings were made of simr-looking huts and fields. Charmine saw small houses from afar and
tried to walk toward them, but the truth was that those houses were positioned at such an angle that it
was in fact misleading her to walk in a circle.
She had to wait for sunrise so she could get a better view of everything-ridges and all-and only then
would she be able to get out.
Julian saw the change in her eyes, and his voice became gentler than before. “Sit down and have a
rest. I’ll make fire.” With that, he started looking for woods to pile up.
