Daring! She cheated in the thriller game
Chapter 158 A Strange Face Arrives
The enhanced curse not only reduced her lifespan by half, but also gave her magical powers beyond her peers and eyes that could confuse ghosts and monsters. Although Yu Lan usually wanted to hide her eyes, they could still play a role now.
Some of the ghosts let down their guard against Yu Lan, but they did not let down their own vigilance and were still watching.
Yu Lan noticed a familiar aura about them. She had felt it on the four ghosts in Room 404 before. She thought that they were also restrained in some way and could not speak.
Since that’s the case...Yu Lan lowered her eyebrows and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
----
The counselor opened his eyes dazedly, and Yu Lan immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Teacher, are you okay?"
The counselor looked around and found himself in the infirmary.
"What's wrong with me?"
Yu Lan sighed, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it and handed it to the counselor: "You said you wanted to talk to me for a while, but you fainted as soon as you entered the meeting room. I was so scared that I quickly asked someone to send you to the infirmary."
"Did I faint?" the counselor said suspiciously. She thought about it and found that she really had no memory of entering the meeting room. Even that memory had become vague.
"Yes, this is the medical record written for you by the school doctor." Yu Lan took out a piece of paper and showed it to the counselor. It said something about anemia... She couldn't see the rest because the doctor's handwriting was too elegant.
"Ah, maybe it's because I haven't had enough rest recently." The counselor said vaguely, as if he believed this statement and was comforting himself.
She always felt as if she had experienced something terrible, but she couldn't remember it clearly.
"Then you should have a good rest first. I have classes in the afternoon, so I'll go back first." Yu Lan smiled and curved her eyes, then stood up and left the infirmary.
After taking only a few steps, the counselor suddenly noticed the gauze wrapped around Yu Lan's wrist. She remembered that when she saw Yu Lan just now, her hand was not injured.
The doubts in her heart grew, so the counselor stopped her and said, "Wait, Yu."
Yu Lan turned around and looked at her inquiringly.
The counselor frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly: "Your hand...did I really not tell you about your dormitory just now?"
Yu Lan sighed in her heart. She had already hidden the counselor's memory, but she didn't expect that she would still be suspicious.
Yu Lan interrupted her and said, "No, actually I'm living well in dormitory 404, so you don't have to worry about it, teacher."
The counselor was stunned and said anxiously: "No, actually over there..."
Yu Lan interrupted her again and looked into the counselor's eyes seriously: "Okay, teacher, you just woke up, you should have a good rest first, don't worry about work in advance, I will contact you if there is anything."
With that, Yu Lan walked out the door.
The counselor saw two boys coming towards him from outside the door. They looked inside, and after their eyes met, they nodded slightly and greeted him. Then the three of them disappeared behind the door together.
Gu Yan retracted his gaze: "Did your counselor say anything?"
Yu Lan sighed and said, "As soon as she woke up, she wanted to talk about dormitory 404 again."
"She's quite nice." Gu Yan was a little surprised: "So what happened just now? She actually fainted."
"I suspect that the entire school is under surveillance by something. At least those who know about the principal are being monitored by that thing to prevent them from leaking the secret."
Yu Lan was playing with a wooden sign in her hand, and when she saw Li Xizhao, she threw the sign to him.
Li Xizhao took it, glanced at it and frowned: "Where did you get so many wronged souls?"
Seeing that everyone was gathered, Yu Lan explained to them what had happened to her: "Just now, the counselor came to me and talked to me for a while. Before she finished talking, a black fog appeared and stopped her. Later, I wanted to save the counselor, but was pulled into the black fog. This group of wronged souls were found in the black fog. After I collected them all, the black fog disappeared."
"Although he hasn't finished speaking, the counselor also mentioned one thing: the principal's daughter committed suicide, and he planned to sacrifice the people in the old school building to revive his daughter. But according to what happened during the welcome party, he planned to sacrifice the entire school."
Li Xizhao chuckled and said, "So the two failed resurrection formations I found before were the principal's attempt to resurrect his daughter."
"It should be, but you said something is missing." Yu Lan paused and asked, "Do you know what is missing?"
Li Xizhao nodded, his expression indifferent: "It's not that easy to resurrect a person. Even if you make a deal with ghosts and gods, you have to pay a price..."
At this point, he paused and smiled at Yu Lan for the first time: "Do you know what the perfect sacrifice for this ritual is?"
Yu Lan twitched her lips, feeling that he was hinting at something. However, Gu Yan and Hang Hang looked at her curiously, so Yu Lan could only give the answer: "The blood relatives of the resurrected person, as well as people with strong magical powers and suitable fate."
In other words, to resurrect the principal's daughter, one needs to kill a blood relative or a person with powerful magic power.
In fact, it was not only here, but also when Lilith was summoned in the castle before. Vivian and Celite were from the Vlad family, their blood was pure and powerful, and she and Lin Qing were two people with powerful magic.
This configuration is sufficient to meet the sacrifice requirements, otherwise only a large amount of fresh blood can meet the summoning conditions.
For example, now...the principal wants to exchange the lives of the entire school for his daughter's life.
"In other words, the principal made a deal with the evil god. He used a large number of lives to exchange for his own wealth, and at the same time he also wanted to resurrect his daughter?"
Gu Yan frowned and said, "The principal's ambition is getting bigger and bigger. If he really kills everyone in the school, this matter will definitely cause a sensation in society. Is it worth it?"
"If you were given another chance to make a wish to the devil, and you could make it many times, would you only wish to revive your daughter and make some money?" Yu Lan sneered, "If it were me, I would definitely want endless money, a new identity, and immortality. It's just a human life, can't I just change my identity and continue to cause trouble? As for whether I will be caught... If I am caught, the devil will not be worshipped, and I think he will definitely protect me."
Gu Yan looked at Yu Lan in shock. He didn't expect that a Taoist priest like her would say such a thing. "How come you are so familiar with the process?"
Even Li Xizhao looked at her, with a hint of condemnation in his eyes.
Yu Lan opened her mouth and explained helplessly: "What are you thinking... I often deal with ghosts, okay? They always use this routine."
"All gifts have a clear price tag. Ghosts are not scary. What is scary is the greedy humans."
Yu Lan lowered her eyes. Although she said these words, if there really was a god who could fulfill her wishes, she would be willing to do anything.
But alas, God does not exist.
When Yu Lan returned to the dormitory, she found Xiao Wen and others gathered in the dormitory management's duty room, so she went over to take a look out of curiosity. Before she got close, she heard a quarrel.
"What's wrong?" Yu Lan pulled Xiao Ling and asked. The four people in dormitory 403 had some anger on their faces, and it was obvious that something unpleasant had happened with the dormitory manager.
She looked towards the dormitory manager's duty room and found that the person inside was a stranger, probably the new dormitory manager.
The new dormitory manager also looked unhappy: "I told you that you can't change your room or move out. It's just a prank by someone throwing rocks. Why are you so nervous?"
"Auntie, that's not what I meant." Yu Lan said speechlessly, "This time they were pranked just to prevent the glass of the balcony door from being broken. They were all asleep last night so nothing happened. What if the next prank is played during the day? What if the broken glass hurts someone? Even if we can't move out or change dormitories, the school should at least give us an explanation."
As Yu Lan said this, others quickly echoed: "Yes, we have to find out the prankster."
"I understand." The dormitory manager was getting impatient and began to wave people away: "I'll tell the school. You guys register first, and then the logistics department will come and fix your door."
Xiaowen and the others obviously didn't want to go back to that dormitory, but there was nothing they could do now.
They returned to the dormitory and hesitated at the door whether to go in. Maybe they felt that what happened last night was too weird, and now they are very sensitive, always feeling that someone has entered their dormitory.
"I think it might have been done by the boys downstairs." Xiaowen convinced herself in her heart that the dormitory was not haunted and attributed it all to someone else's prank.
"I don't know what the school was thinking, actually letting boys and girls live together... I knew something would happen sooner or later!"
"Okay, don't think too much about it. If it turns out that the boys downstairs really played a prank, the school will definitely take measures. They might even be punished." Yu Lan comforted them. Seeing that they really didn't dare to go into the dormitory, she took the key from Xiao Wen's hand and helped them open the dormitory door. After checking inside and finding nothing unusual, she said to the outside of the door, "It's okay, there's no one inside."
Hang Hang had helped clean up the glass fragments on the ground last night, to prevent the girls from getting hurt by the flying glass fragments when getting out of bed, but there were still some glass fragments on the ground.
The girls in dormitory 403 also cleaned up the broken glass themselves. The broken glass was piled in the corner of the dormitory, with a fist-sized stone next to it.
Xiaowen and the others saw that Yulan noticed the stone, so they said, "Look, it's really strange, isn't it?"
"Hmm?" Yu Lan responded in confusion, as if she didn't understand what they were talking about.
"Look." Xiaoling pointed at the stone on the ground, then at the broken glass with an unpleasant expression: "Normally, the glass broken by this kind of stone should only be the size of the stone itself... But you see, the gap in this glass is too big."
The gap in the glass door was big enough for a person to enter and exit, and almost the entire glass was broken.
Yu Lan opened her mouth and looked away guiltily.
This certainly couldn't have been caused by a stone. After all, the hole was made by humans just to make it easier for him to come into the dormitory and cause damage.
But she couldn't say such words, so she could only comfort him: "Maybe the quality of the glass is too poor, you see."
In order to verify what she said, Yu Lan walked forward, pinched a corner of the glass on the door, and gently broke off a piece of glass.
Under the surprised gazes of everyone in Dormitory 403, Yu Lan said calmly: "You see, the quality is really bad, I didn't even use much force to break it off."
Xiaowen was stunned and even wanted to try it out to see whether what Yulan said was true or not, but she was stopped by her.
Yu Lan casually threw the broken glass in her hand into the pile of broken glass in the corner: "Don't touch this door if you have nothing to do. The glass is very sharp. Be careful not to get hurt. Wait for the logistics personnel to come and repair it."
"Okay, alright." Xiaowen and the others responded hesitantly. Yu Lan was still worried, afraid that the Faceless Man would come to cause trouble for Xiaowen and the others tonight, so she found an excuse to walk around their dormitory, while quietly drawing a few talismans to prevent them from getting hurt. This way, if anything happened over there, Yu Lan would know in time and come to help.
Although Yu Lan knew that they were just NPCs and it didn't matter if they died, their performance was too real. Yu Lan would not sit idly by in the past, and the same is true now.
After completing the defensive work, Yu Lan felt relieved and said goodbye to Xiaowen and the others.
Before leaving, Xiaowen still said worriedly: "Alas, it's still dangerous to have boys living downstairs. What if they sneak in at night?"
After all, the two staircases in the dormitory building are not locked, so as long as the people downstairs are willing, they can come up at any time.
"Xiao Wen, don't worry. I don't think they would be so bold. After all, the new dormitory manager looks so fierce."
Xiaoling comforted her, "She said that patrols will be stepped up tonight, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Well, I hope so." Xiaowen sighed.
During a previous chat, Yu Lan had asked them about the new dormitory manager. Xiao Wen replied that the dormitory manager said that the previous dormitory manager had asked for a few days off for something, and during this period of time she would temporarily serve as the dormitory manager of this dormitory building until the previous dormitory manager came back.
However, Yu Lan knew that the previous dormitory manager had died and it was impossible for him to come back. The new dormitory manager would most likely be the dormitory manager of this dormitory building in the future.
I have to observe tonight to see if she will turn into a faceless man. If so, I have to find a way to deal with it.
But Yu Lan also kept silent. In fact, every night, two unknown men would sneak up to take advantage of the evil spirits to keep watch. Xiao Wen's worries were right. As long as they wanted, they could come up at any time.
