Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

It seems like, that wasn’t an illusion?

I don’t know who was so kind to give her medicine when she was about to faint.

"It's the man with the hood." Mei Qimeng's faint words came from the mirror.

"Puff, cough, cough..." Yu Lan almost choked on the potion. She said in disbelief, "It could be that person? Why would he help me? I don't even know him well, do I?"

Mei Qimeng thought so too. She felt that the hooded man had no reason to help her, but...

"It's probably because of Lin Qing. He told me last night that Lin Qing would come today." Mei Qimeng repeated what Erwin said. After listening to it, Yu Lan quickly changed her clothes and ran out.

"where are you going?"

"Go find my sister. I have something important to tell her!"

Yu Lan was running on the road with regret. She was too tired last night to interrogate the Huang family member. She forgot to tell Cynthia what questions to ask. She hoped that they didn't kill the person... No, make the soul fly to pieces, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

She ran in a hurry and accidentally bumped into someone when passing the turning point. It was obviously Yu Lan who bumped into him, and the person who was hit stood there unharmed, but she fell backwards because of her unstable center of gravity.

Yu Lan didn't react for a moment and fell backwards in a daze. Fortunately, the person next to her was quick to grab Yu Lan's arm and pull her back.

Yu Lan was pulled into an embrace with slightly cool water vapor, and she didn't react to what was happening for a moment.

The man just pulled Yu Lan back, and when he saw her standing firm, he let go of her hand. Seeing that Yu Lan was still in a daze, he couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Are you okay?"

The man's voice brought Yu Lan back to her senses. She looked up at the man and thanked him, "I'm fine, thank you."

Finally, she added, "And your medicine."

Erwin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're welcome. Are you feeling better?"

He looked at Yu Lan with some worry, and saw the two bottles of medicine in her hand at a glance. He couldn't help but frowned: "You only drank half a bottle? Don't you feel uncomfortable somewhere in your body?"

Erwin noticed that Yu Lan's voice was hoarse and subconsciously went forward to check on her.

The hooded man stood in the shadows, making it difficult to see his face. Erwin suddenly bent down and came closer, and Yulan immediately smelled the familiar smell.

It was a very pleasant, faint fragrance, almost imperceptible. The man seemed to have just returned from outside, with dew on his body. The faint fragrance blended with the water vapor and became even more vague, making it even more difficult for Yu Lan to smell what the fragrance was.

Moreover, perhaps because of the cold, Yu Lan's reaction became very slow. She watched the strange hooded man approaching her without dodging, but just stared at him blankly.

Looking at Yu Lan's clear and ignorant eyes, Erwin suddenly realized his own impoliteness. He quickly stood up, clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, coughing lightly, and the ears hidden under the hood turned red.

"Ahem... Sorry... Are you okay?"

Yu Lan also came back to her senses and shook her head blankly: "Not bad."

But in fact, she felt very tired now, and her brain became a mess and became very slow. But she still remembered that she had important things to do, so she said goodbye to Erwin.

"Well, I have something to do with Cynthia and the others, so I won't bother you for now."

With that, Yu Lan turned around and left, but Erwin grabbed her arm again: "Wait a minute."

Erwin frowned as he looked at Yu Lan's dazed look, took the medicine bottle from Yu Lan's hand and opened the lid: "Drink the remaining half bottle first."

The wide hood covered the man's face. Yu Lan couldn't see his expression, but she could feel a very firm gaze staring at her, as if he would not let her leave unless she drank the bottle of medicine.

Under the pressure of this gaze, Yu Lan took the bottle in a trance and obediently drank all the remaining medicine in it.

Erwin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yulan finish drinking, and said, "I came to see you about your situation. You want to find Cynthia and the others, right? They are in the basement, I'll take you there."

As he spoke, the hooded man walked in front of Yu Lan, leading the way for her. Yu Lan didn't think much about it and followed Erwin.

Erwin walked to the statue in the middle of the garden and stopped. The statue was about five or six meters tall and was of a woman sitting diagonally on a chair, with her eyes closed and a very peaceful face, as if she was asleep. There were flowers planted under the statue, surrounding it, and some even wrapped around the chair, giving it a peaceful beauty.

The woman placed one hand on her belly and the other on the armrest of the chair, palm up. Erwin picked a flower from the garden and placed it on the woman's palm. Then, there was a vibration under their feet, and a staircase leading down suddenly appeared under the chair.

Erwin turned around and said, "Let's go."

Yu Lan was marveling at the magic of this mechanism, and after hearing what Erwin said, she hurriedly followed.

The entrance was completely closed after Yulan entered. The tunnel was dark. Yulan couldn't see clearly in the darkness and subconsciously wanted to grab the clothes of the person in front of her, but suddenly remembered that they were not familiar with each other and it was not a good idea to do so.

Just as Yu Lan was thinking this, a ball of fire suddenly appeared in the hooded man's hand, illuminating the surrounding space. Yu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and followed Erwin down.

Perhaps because the tunnel was too quiet, Yu Lan was a little uncomfortable, so she talked to Erwin: "How did you know where the mechanism was? I thought it was your first time here."

She originally thought that the hooded man came to clean up the abnormalities in the copy because of Erwin's report, but she didn't expect that he seemed quite familiar with the place, especially the movement of picking flowers, which was particularly skillful and he didn't feel any guilt at all.

Even if Yu Lan and Cézanne were familiar with each other (thick-skinned), she would not be able to pick the flowers so easily.

The man stiffened and said, "I know Cezanne. He is my friend."

Yu Lan was a little surprised, and a sense of weirdness rose in her heart: "So that's how it is."

Erwin didn't seem to want to continue this topic. He was afraid that Yu Lan would take off his vest again, so he quickly changed the subject: "If you want to come in next time, remember to tell the people in the manor, and don't touch the flowers in the garden casually. The thorns of those flowers have neurotoxins. If humans touch them, they will be poisoned and faint, and die in their sleep due to breathing difficulties."

"...So, the statue has no other meaning but a warning?"

The statue was so beautifully made that it looked like a living person. Yu Lan thought it was the former owner of the manor or something. She didn't expect it was a warning, indicating that the person who picked the flowers would die peacefully like the statue?
