Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

Chapter 172 Let’s Play Hide and Seek

Yu Lan closed her eyes for just a moment, and when she opened them again, she found herself in the main city.

The scene in front of her was somewhat familiar, it was the same door she was in when she first came here. Not only that, but the person she met for the first time was also there.

"Xiao Yu?"

"Yingsheng, you are picking up players again." Yu Lan greeted Yingsheng.

"Yeah, I was unlucky today and didn't pick anything up." Yingsheng was also bored, so he walked over to Yulan with a smile: "Have you just come back from the dungeon? How do you feel?"

Yu Lan thought back, the dungeon was inexplicably destroyed by a traitor, and she was forced to consume a lot of mana. She found out that the person who had been in the dungeon with her was someone she knew before and was even the dungeon boss. Her system was also gone...

It’s unlucky just thinking about it.

Yu Lan sighed helplessly: "It's okay."

"You don't look like you're okay." Seeing Yu Lan's exhausted face, Yingsheng said nothing more and patted Yu Lan on the shoulder: "Forget it, let's talk next time. Go back and have a good rest first."

"I'll treat you to dinner next time." Yu Lan waved her hand and staggered towards the bus stop.

This time the bus driver was a strange guy I had never seen before, and he looked quite honest.

Instead of returning to Cézanne's estate, Yu Lan went to the shabby apartment where Yingsheng had first taken her.

"Comber, I'll stay here for a few days. Sorry to bother you."

The gray-haired old man slowly walked out of the iron gate and looked Yu Lan up and down: "The tenants in the building have been a bit noisy recently. I am tired and can't take care of them."

"I understand." Yu Lan nodded slightly and took the key given by Kang Bo.

The room was the same one she lived in for the first time. Lying on the narrow bed, Yu Lan let out a long sigh.

It's like everything has returned to the starting point.

In fact, she could still move back to Cézanne's estate, but in order not to cause them unnecessary trouble, it would be better to live outside... Although she is rich now and can move to a better environment in the city center, a familiar place can still make Yu Lan feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Yu Lan closed her eyes in a daze and fell asleep.

"Hehehe...the new tenant looks delicious..."

There seemed to be some voice whispering in the darkness. Mei Qimeng wanted to come out vigilantly to keep watch for Yu Lan, but this was not Cezanne's estate, not a copy, so she could not come out.

Yu Lan rubbed her eyes and whispered, "It's okay, they can't eat me."

Seeing this, Mei Qimeng could only quietly hide inside Yu Lan's body.

She noticed that Yu Lan was very weak, so it would be better to let her have a good rest.

After an unknown amount of time, a scream was heard. Yu Lan suddenly woke up, covering her face and mumbling a few words in distress.

"Ah!!! Help!!!"

The sound seemed to come from the next room. Yu Lan sighed and said resignedly, "Oh, really, I want to sleep."

In a room, two boys were trembling and hugging each other, in front of them were two strange ghosts. The ghosts stretched out their long tongues and greedily sniffed the air.

"Humans... they taste like the weak. You can eat them! You can eat them!"

They approached the two boys step by step, and the two boys were so scared that they couldn't speak.

Why are there ghosts in the player’s main city?

The long tongue slid across the skin, bringing a disgusting chill. A boy closed his eyes in fear, wondering if anyone would come to save them! Whatever they were asked to do was fine!

The evil ghosts opened their mouths wide enough to fit a human head, revealing their sharp teeth. Just as he was about to bite off the boy's head, the door behind him was suddenly kicked open.

The two men and two ghosts looked outside the door and saw a black-haired girl standing at the door, holding a pair of glasses in her hands and looking at them with lifeless eyes.

"Ah...are you having a midnight snack? I'm hungry too, so let me join you."

"New tenant...smells so good...smells so good!"

The two evil ghosts suddenly changed their target and pounced on Yu Lan.

“Be careful!…Ah…”

The two boys shouted at Yu Lan to get out of the way, but they didn't expect her to remain standing still, not worried at all about the attack from the evil spirit.

The next second, a scream was heard.

Yu Lan held the evil ghost's head that she had just twisted off, looked down at the evil ghost's frightened eyes, and murmured, "Head, no need."

Yu Lan threw the head aside. The evil ghost's eyes widened and stared in the direction of Yu Lan.

The black-haired woman looked at the other evil spirit and pointed at him: "Do you want to die?"

The other evil ghost looked at Yu Lan tremblingly. She was obviously a human being, but the aura (morning grumpiness) emanating from her body was so terrifying.

Not only the evil ghost, but even the two boys were frightened. They looked at Yu Lan in fear, wondering in their hearts whether this was a human being or a ghost more vicious than the two evil ghosts.

"I...I was wrong, sir. Please forgive me. I won't do it again!"

"Hmm." Yu Lan lowered her head and thought for a while, then whispered, "But I'm still so hungry."

After she relaxed her mind, she felt very empty inside due to excessive consumption of magic power, and she was in urgent need of energy replenishment.

"These two humans are yours! We won't attack them!" the evil ghost said humbly, hoping that Yu Lan would let him go.

"Even if I don't stop you, you can't attack humans. This is against the rules." Yu Lan kicked the head at her feet and said, "How about this." Yu Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled happily: "Let's play a game."

"What...what game?" the evil ghost asked tremblingly.

"Hide and seek." Yu Lan gently held up the evil ghost's face and looked into his eyes. "The rules are very simple. I will be the ghost and you will hide. If I can't find you before dawn, you win... No one is allowed to leave the apartment building. Of course, I welcome friends outside to join us."

The pitch-black pupils seemed like a bottomless abyss, making the evil spirit unconsciously immersed in the dreamland of the night.

"Go ahead and notify everyone. The game will start in three minutes."

Yu Lan let go of her hand and picked up the head from the ground: "Ah, but this guy has to stay with me. If you don't want to end up like him, hide quickly."

After Yu Lan looked away, the evil ghost suddenly came back to his senses.

What was that just now? He seemed to have seen something incredible, which was very tempting to him, making him unable to control his desire to get close to the woman in front of him...

Who on earth is this human being?

"Why don't you go out? It's almost been a minute." Yu Lan tilted her head and looked at him in confusion: "Do you want to be eaten by me like this?"

"No...I'm leaving right now!"

The evil ghost stumbled out of the room and rushed to alert other companions in the apartment. They planned to leave the building, but found that they could not get out no matter what, as if something trapped them!

Yu Lan held the head, gently stroked the evil ghost's face, and murmured: "I haven't played this game for a long time. I wonder how long the ghosts here can play with me..."

If Gu Yan and the others were there, they would definitely be very surprised because Yu Lan's smile was very creepy now, as if she had become a different person.

"Well...thank you for saving us...you saved us again."

A voice suddenly spoke, and Yu Lan turned to look at the two boys in the room, and her expression immediately returned to normal: "Ah, are you okay?"

But what does "again" mean?

Yu Lan narrowed her eyes and looked at the two boys in front of her. After recalling for a long time, she suddenly remembered where she had seen them before.

"You are the two newcomers who were tricked by the bus driver to go to the west of the city last time."

"Yes!" The two boys said in surprise, "I didn't expect you still remembered us! Thank you so much!"

"It's okay. I'm hungry anyway." Yu Lan stroked the head in her arms from time to time, which inexplicably made the two boys a little scared.

But Yu Lan is their savior, she will never harm them no matter what!

Thinking of this, the two of them spoke: "Well, what do you want to do now?"

"Just playing a game and having a midnight snack."

Yu Lan chuckled and snapped her fingers. The evil ghost on the ground that was acting separately instantly turned into mist, wrapped around Yu Lan's hand, and finally slowly condensed into a small ball.

The two boys looked at Yu Lan as she stood up and drew something on the door handle, seemingly understanding something.

"Don't go out before daybreak, don't open the window, no matter what sound you hear, even if I call you, never open the door."

The two boys inexplicably felt that what Yu Lan said was very important, so they nodded solemnly.

"Very good." Yu Lan smiled with satisfaction, then opened the door: "Then... the game begins."

In the next few hours, the two boys huddled in their beds, shivering as they listened to the noises coming from all around them. Countless screams came from all directions, and from time to time they could hear a girl's joyful laughter.

Although they heard someone knocking on the door and begging them to let him in, the two boys followed Yu Lan's instructions and ignored everything. Later, they even fell asleep amid the noisy sounds.

Yu Lan pulled her hand out of a ghost's chest. As she moved, the ghost turned into mist and then condensed into a small bead.

"Hmm... Is this the last one?" Looking at the bead in her hand, Yu Lan was a little disappointed: "These ghosts are a bit weak. So many of them can't survive a night... Forget it, I'm sleepy too, let's go back to sleep."

The gray-haired old man came out from the darkness: "Is everything resolved?"

"Ah, Kang Bo." Yu Lan saw Kang Bo coming and smiled obediently: "Yeah, I guess no blind people will come here recently."

"That's good." Cumber sighed and said, "I'm old and can't drive those tenants away."

"It's okay, it's okay. Next time someone comes to make trouble, just call me." Yu Lan grabbed a handful of Yin Qi beads from her pocket and handed them to Kang Bo: "Want some?"

Kang Bo looked at the beads in Yu Lan's hand and was silent for a long time: "Thank you very much."

He was almost at the end of his rope. The beads in Yu Lan's hand contained pure Yin energy, which could provide him with enormous power, which was enough to keep him going for a while longer.

"You're welcome." Yu Lan smiled and said goodbye to Kang Bo. After returning to her room, she threw herself on the bed and sighed deeply.

Why do I still feel empty inside after venting?

Yu Lan didn't understand, and now she didn't want to understand. She rolled herself up like a spring roll and fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep lasted a particularly long time, probably because Yu Lan played "games" with the ghosts in the apartment last night, and the fact that no ghost came out of the apartment scared the nearby ghosts. No ghost dared to set foot in Cumber's apartment again, and Yu Lan was able to sleep peacefully.

Although no ghosts come, there are still people who are unaware of the situation.

The two boys woke up after daybreak. They did not find any trace of Yu Lan, and they did not dare to ask the gloomy-looking apartment manager about Yu Lan, so they did not ask.

Because Yingsheng helped them a lot, they are now working in Mi Ji's guild. They accidentally mentioned this during a casual chat, which surprised Yingsheng and Mi Ji.

"You said Yulan went back to live in that apartment?"

"Yeah." said one of the boys.

Yingsheng and Mi Ji looked at each other, with heavy emotions in their eyes.

"Haven't you seen her lately?"

The two boys shook their heads and said that three days had passed since that night and Yu Lan had not appeared since then. They didn't know which room she lived in and were too embarrassed to ask.

"I see... I see. Thank you."

After Yingsheng sent the two boys away, he turned to Mi Ji and said, "How about we go find her?"

"From what Hang Hang said, I think she's recovering from her injuries, so that's why she didn't reply to our messages."

Mi Ji thought silently for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look. After all, she is the only one we know who knows what's going on."

The long sleep brought chaotic dreams. For practitioners like them, dreams have a predictive effect, and other accidents may also happen, such as now -

The scent of fragrant grass and abundant spiritual energy. The surrounding non-human creatures were flying happily in the air, hiding in the huge tree in front of them from time to time, and then coming out from it. The happy atmosphere filled the air, making people feel happy just by looking at it.

That tree... was really big. Its trunk was as thick as a city wall with no visible boundaries, growing straight up to the sky. Even if you looked up, you couldn't see the treetops, you could only peek at some leaves through the clouds.

It was a tree that Yu Lan had never seen before. For some reason, she felt a gentle power from the tree. It was inexplicably familiar and reminded her of her mother's arms.

The vitality of the giant tree made Yu Lan feel very warm. She walked to the roots of the tree and sat down, reaching out her hand to stroke the roots: "...Hello, I want to lie on you for a while, I hope you don't mind."
