Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

As soon as the words fell, the two people who had been in a very harmonious atmosphere just now suddenly changed their expressions and glared at each other, as if to say, "Don't steal our people."

Yu Lan opened her mouth and said weakly, "Well... Thank you, brothers. I want to take another look... Oh, by the way, I'm looking for Gu Yan. Is he here?"

"You're looking for Gu Yan." The man in the leather suit raised his chin. He and Gu Yan were classmates and knew where he was now. "Wait a moment. He seems to have gone to hand out flyers just now. He will be here soon."

"Okay then." Yu Lan responded, looking around for a place to sit down and wait for Gu Yan, then she was stopped by someone.

"Hey, Junior Sister, if you don't mind, come in and sit down." The person from the Photography Association pointed to the chairs in their booth and said, "I'm the only one here now, you can sit anywhere you want."

"Thank you, senior brother." It was better to sit here so that she didn't have to walk around. After all, the weather was still very hot.

The leather suit man seemed not to want to miss any opportunity to recruit new members. He sat on the chair next to Yu Lan and said, "Hey, Junior Sister, what do you want to do with their president?"

"There are some things I don't understand, I want to ask him."

"I see..." The suit man stretched out the last syllable and said, "Do you watch anime? Do you have any favorite anime characters?"

"Hey, hey, hey, you're here to see our president. Don't try to snatch him from us." The person from the Photography Association knocked on the table in dissatisfaction.

"She just came to see Gu Yan, and she didn't say she wanted to join your photography association. What's wrong with me asking her?" the man in the suit retorted.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Yu Lan sat between them and said quietly, "Don't worry, brothers. I have no intention of joining the club for the time being."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them turned their heads to look at her: "How can that be possible!"

As they spoke, the two of them held up their club's flyers and talked endlessly about the current situation of their club and what activities they usually held, as if they wanted to make Yu Lan change her mind.

As they were talking, the two of them started arguing with each other, and then it turned into a quarrel.

Yulan: ...

So I am also a part of your PLAY.

Yu Lan sighed quietly, and suddenly someone patted her shoulder: "Xiao Yu, are you here to see me?"

Yu Lan looked up and saw Gu Yan.

The weather was really hot, and Gu Yan stood in the sun for more than two hours, sweating a lot. There was another person next to him, and his eyes were timid, as if he was afraid to make eye contact with others.

Yu Lan nodded, and looked at the man behind Gu Yan unconsciously. She was inexplicably concerned about him: "Who is this?"

"The president of the association next door, Liang Huai."

Seeing Gu Yan calling his name, Liang Huai had no choice but to look up at Yu Lan, say "Hello", and then quickly lower his head again.

Yu Lan was shocked and couldn't imagine how torturous it would be to have a socially anxious person as the president.

Gu Yan saw Yu Lan's shock and whispered in her ear, "Actually, Liang Huai is already lucky. Everyone in their club is more socially anxious than the other. At least Liang Huai can still respond when someone calls him."

But the other people in their society wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into or use their special abilities to make themselves transparent and pass for air.

Yu Lan looked at Liang Huai with admiration and exclaimed, "What a warrior... May I ask what club this warrior belongs to?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people who had been arguing in the corner suddenly stopped and looked at Liang Huai together, their eyes filled with anger as if they wanted to eat Liang Huai.

Liang Huai shrugged and replied in a low voice: "UMA Association..."

"What?" Yu Lan couldn't believe her ears and asked again.

"We are the UMA Association." Liang Huai's voice was a little louder. He looked up at Yu Lan's face and then lowered his head at the speed of light.

"What is the UMA Association? I don't think I've heard of this association." The two people in the corner whispered to each other, as if they were trying to figure out what this association does from the name.

But Yu Lan is all too familiar with this.

UMA, the full name of which is Unidentified Mysterious Animal, is translated into Chinese as unconfirmed organism, that is, unknown creatures. It refers to various creatures living all over the world that have not been discovered by humans or have not been confirmed in legends.

In some European countries, this is called cryptozoology and is even considered an independent discipline, but this is quite controversial.

Why is Yulan so familiar with this? Because some mysterious creatures believed to be UMAs actually exist, and even some species in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are believed to be UMAs.

Let’s take the most well-known UMA example: Water Monkey.

People nowadays may think that water monkeys are a rumor, but in the eyes of their Taoist priests, the so-called water monkeys are the souls of those who died in the water.

Therefore, Liang Huai's UMA Association is a perfect match for Yu Lan!

She excitedly stepped forward and shook Liang Huai's hand, "President! You finally showed up! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Yu Lan was so excited that she almost cried. She was very confident that she could complete her current tasks by joining the UMA Association!

Look at the name of this dungeon: Campus Ghost Stories. And look at the name of Liang Huai's association: UMA Association.

How fitting!

"Uh..." Liang Huai looked at Gu Yan for help, obviously not understanding what the situation was.

Gu Yan quickly separated Yu Lan and Liang Huai and glared at her: Enough, don't scare people.

Yu Lan received Gu Yan's gaze and quickly returned to normal, smiling apologetically: "Sorry... I'm just very interested in UMA. I didn't expect this school to have such a club. I accidentally got too excited."

When Liang Huai heard Yu Lan's words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and excitedly held Yu Lan's hand: "Really? You like UMA too?!"

Liang Huai suddenly became excited, completely losing his social phobia from before.

"Yes! I love studying these! But lately I've been studying more about domestic folklore."

"That's such a coincidence!" Liang Huai said in surprise, "It just so happens that our club is planning to hold a discussion meeting on domestic ghost stories recently!"

The two looked at each other excitedly, feeling that they had met too late: "President!"

"Xiao Yu!"

The two hit it off immediately, and Liang Huai immediately took Yu Lan to their club's booth to fill out the registration form. Gu Yan and the other two stood there in a daze, obviously not expecting this to happen so quickly.

The people from the Photography Association and the Animation Association looked at Yu Lan's back with regret. Alas, their offline...ah no, the new members are gone.

He was being pried off right in front of his eyes.

The person from the Photography Association nudged Gu Yan and said, "President, why don't you take care of it?"

"Why should I care?" Gu Yan raised his lips and said, "The child has grown up, and the father can't care about him anymore."

Yu Lan didn't know that she had a new father without her knowledge. After chatting with Liang Huai for a while, she suddenly remembered that she still had things to do.

"Hey, President, I have something else to talk to Gu Yan about."

"It's okay, it's okay." Liang Huai waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Anyway, our contact information has been added. I'll add you to our group later. Just let us know if there's anything."

"Okay!" Yu Lan said goodbye to Liang Huai happily, looked at her task panel, and found that the status of the task "Join an association" had not been updated.

as predicted.

Yu Lan found Gu Yan and told him about this matter.

Gu Yan looked at Yu Lan with a complicated expression: "I told you that the task would not be so easy to complete."

Yu Lan laughed and said helplessly, "I think so too... Let's go ahead and see. Liang Huai said there is another assessment to come. I guess the next task will be revealed only after I pass this assessment."

Although this is a C-level copy, Yu Lan feels that the next task will not be so easy.

"Oh, right." Yu Lan took out the note from Li Xizhao from her pocket and said, "Look at this. Li Xizhao just gave it to me. Do you know what this means?"

"The number between 3 and 4 is 9... What does this mean? Is this referring to the stairwell?"

The stairwell on the fourth floor is indeed between 403 and 404, but is the answer so obvious?

"I'm not sure about that, but if it's related to 9... I think we can go take a look."

Hang Hang's mission is to find 904.

"Actually, I already had some idea about Hang Hang's mission." Yu Lan told Gu Yan her guess. She took out a notebook and wrote numbers 1 to 8 from bottom to top.

"When I saw that this staircase was only visible to us players, I began to doubt whether this staircase could lead to a non-existent floor? For example..."

Yu Lan used a red pen to add another number on top of the number 8: 9.

"Hiss." Gu Yan took a breath and said, "But someone died in that stairwell. The mechanism of death is unknown. There is no one in the downward corridor, and the upward corridor is locked by an iron door."

"Don't worry, listen to my thoughts."

Yu Lan wrote and drew on the paper, explaining: "Do you know the principle of ghost wall?"

Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, "...Is it the ghost that uses its yin energy to confuse our eyes and make us feel like we are spinning in circles?"

Yu Lan nodded: "That's about right. But some people say that after they come out of the ghost wall, they will come to another place. Do you know why?"

"Hmm... Is it because this ghost brought them into another dimension?"

Gu Yan didn't understand the principle behind this, but he knew how to deal with this situation.

Just four words and do it.

Yu Lan narrowed her eyes and explained with a smile: "They used their resentment to open up a passage. Some of the spaces were opened by themselves, and some were originally existing spaces. They just brought us in." Yu Lan paused and made an analogy: "You've seen Silent Hill, right? It's about the same idea."

"The other world?"

"Yes." Yu Lan nodded "9" and said, "My teacher once told me a way to actively enter this space. It's actually very simple. All you have to do is make yourself dizzy and your yang energy low, and then find the entrance to that space and you can get in."

Why do people encounter ghosts? If the ghosts are not playing tricks on them, most people will not see them, because the three lights on their shoulders will always protect them, but if one light is turned off by accident, it will be over. The method that Teacher Yu Lan mentioned is to make the lights on your shoulders weaker, so that you can find those hidden entrances.

Gu Yan didn't quite understand and asked, "What do you want to do?"

“我是这样想的...”郁兰在笔记本上面画了几条线，谷彦看着笔尖从1到9，9到2，2到8...以此类推，最后郁兰画的线刚好从5落到4。

"If we keep going this way, we'll definitely get ourselves dizzy. Let's go back to the stairwell on the 4th floor and take a look. We might find something unexpected."

"Walk from the first floor to the ninth floor, and then go back to the fourth floor?" Gu Yan said in shame, "Don't say it. Just from listening to it, I feel that your method is quite roundabout."

Not only can it make them dizzy, but it can also tire them to death.

Yu Lan shrugged helplessly: "There's no other way. I can't think of any other way at the moment."

I can only try it first.

"Okay." Gu Yan nodded and said, "Then let's do it your way. We'll try our best to save the situation."

"But not tonight. I plan to wait until I'm almost recovered." Yu Lan sighed. The recovery potion that Erwin gave her was indeed good and had no side effects, but she still had some distance to recover to the physical strength she had before entering the copy. It was too risky to rush into the stairwell of unknown danger level.

"Okay." Gu Yan said, "I plan to walk around the campus tonight... By the way, the information you requested."

Gu Yan took out his phone and opened the photo album, motioning Yu Lan to go and look at it herself: "Thanks to you for controlling the Faceless People last night, Hang Hang and I went to the dormitory manager's duty room last night and found the information you wanted, take a look."

Yu Lan's group of students were the first to move into the old school building since the accident, so they didn't have to look hard to find the list of names that had previously occupied dormitory 404.

Yu Lan wrote down all the names on it. It not only had the list of the previous dormitory, but also their class information. With these information, Yu Lan would have a goal when she went to the archives to look for information next time: "Thanks, brother."

"polite."

Gu Yan sighed, rubbed his forehead while sitting on the chair, "Alas, you and Hang Hang have both found their missions, but I haven't."

"Don't be discouraged. Talk to more people. Maybe you will have unexpected situations." Yu Lan raised her chin and motioned Gu Yan to look in the direction of Liang Huai: "I think Liang Huai is a good candidate."

"Him?" Gu Yan looked at Yu Lan in confusion: "How do you know?"

Yu Lan raised her phone and said, "I asked Xiao Wen, and she said that he was the one who told her about the incident in Dormitory 404."

Wow, that's a coincidence.

Gu Yan and Yu Lan looked at Liang Huai's back at the same time with kind eyes.

This is a walking source of information.

Liang Huai suddenly felt a chill on his back and sneezed. He rubbed his arm and looked up at the sky in confusion.

That’s right, it’s still sunny now, why does he feel so cold?
