Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

Yu Lan looked up at the big tree. She didn't know why, but since she woke up from someone else's dream, she found that her affinity for plants had increased. But now it could come in handy.

She stretched out a hand and pressed it on the tree trunk, using her spiritual power in her hand, closing her eyes and feeling everything around her.

The spiritual power in his hand poured into the tree trunk, and the big tree stretched out its branches comfortably. An old voice came from the tree.

"Young fruit, what do you want to know by waking me up?"

[I am a child from a nearby village. My friends have disappeared in the forest. Do you know where they are now? ]

Yu Lan put one hand on the tree trunk, and her thoughts were transmitted into the tree through the spiritual power in her hand, but she didn't expect that Alvin could also hear it.

"My children..." the old voice sighed, "They can't come back."

Yu Lan paused, then quickly asked, "Why?"

"If a corrupt wizard captures them, they will become the wizard's puppets. If the evil fruit returns to its lair, it will absorb the life of the entire tree."

"Leave here, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

After saying this, Dashu took the initiative to cut off his connection with Yulan and no longer responded to Yulan's call.

What's going on? Yu Lan frowned, thinking about what Da Shu meant.

The corrupt wizard, is this referring to the legend deep in the forest? The wizard would capture the missing people and turn them into his puppets. But how do you explain the last sentence?

Yu Lan scratched her hair in annoyance. She hated the Riddler the most.

With a helpless sigh, it seems that we have to find out what the legend is. Yulan suspected that Prince Lindon that Aaron mentioned was the wizard, but how could a good prince become a wizard...

"Miss Yu." At this time, Erwin suddenly walked up to her, picked her up, and whispered, "Excuse me."

Before Yu Lan could react, Erwin held her in his arms, jumped onto the tree trunk and hid among the dense branches and leaves, and covered her mouth with his hand.

What? Why are you hiding all of a sudden? Yu Lan was just stunned for a moment, then she quickly reacted and hid obediently in Erwin's arms.

There was a rustling sound coming from not far away, as if someone was walking towards this side.

Alvin looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from. After a while, two naked people walked over.

No, it cannot be said to be walking. The way they walk is very strange. Their joints cannot move and their movements are very stiff.

The leaves blocked Yu Lan's vision, making it difficult for her to see the faces of those people clearly, but her consciousness told her that they were not "people".

Could it be...the puppet that Dashu mentioned just now?

The two men walked towards the big tree with stiff movements, and finally stopped under the tree. They began to walk around the tree, and then stopped where Yu Lan had just stood.

Unclear sounds came out of their throats, sounding like some meaningless calls, but Yu Lan inexplicably felt that they seemed to be calling out for something.

Suddenly, one of them looked up. Yu Lan saw the man's face clearly and subconsciously grabbed Erwin's hand to cover hers.

What was that? Their features seemed to be melting, and their skin glistened in the sun, looking like plastic.

The man looked up in Yu Lan's direction. Although there was only a black hole in his eye sockets, Yu Lan felt that he saw them.

The man raised his head, his mouth opening and closing, but he quickly looked away.

Alvin patted Yulan's back soothingly, then jumped lightly and left the tree canopy without making any noise.

Yu Lan, who was held in Erwin's arms, was numb. What kind of skill was this that made her as light as a swallow? Coach, she wanted to learn this.

But unfortunately, she has never been suitable for martial arts since she was a child. Even if Erwin is willing to teach her, she can't learn it. She can only watch with envy.

Erwin kept jumping on the treetops until he was far away from the tree. He came to a stream and put Yulan down.

Yu Lan tugged at Erwin's clothes, pointed to where they had just come from, and asked with her eyes what that was.

"That's... I can't tell you." Erwin pursed his lips. He subconsciously wanted to answer Yu Lan's doubts, but almost forgot that his current identity was no longer Yu Lan's system.

He stood up and pointed to the stream: "Just keep going this way and you will be back to the village."

Are they going to chase her away? Okay. Yu Lan sighed. She hadn't figured out the situation yet, and it would be troublesome if she rashly confronted the other side.

However, she just made eye contact with those two inhuman creatures...is that really okay?

As if seeing Yu Lan's doubts, Erwin said, "Don't worry, they won't be able to see us at that time."

Because he had been casting invisibility spells on himself, no one could see them even if he held Yu Lan in his arms.

So, how did Yu Lan see him? Erwin looked at the tiny Yu Lan and wondered.

That's good, Yu Lan heaved a sigh of relief and turned to leave. Erwin watched her leave, but saw Yu Lan suddenly turn around and walk towards him after only two steps.

"What's wrong?" Erwin subconsciously squatted down and looked at Yu Lan at eye level, only to see her take out a handful of hair from her pocket and hand it to him.

This is... Erwin picked up the lock of hair. It was the lock of hair he cut off. He didn't expect that Yu Lan still kept it.

Seeing Erwin pick up the hair, Yu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and scribbled a sentence on the paper: "Next time, don't let others get your hair, or they will take advantage of you."

After finishing writing, Yu Lan got up and left, leaving Erwin standing there in a daze.

The Lord God had also warned him not to give a part of his body to others, especially to people like mages, because some people would use it to cast curses, or even endanger their own lives. In short, he should not give such things to others.

At that time, Alvin had no choice but to cut off his hair. Although he thought at that time that this was just an ordinary child, it would not matter if he gave her his hair, as she might throw it away right away.

But when he later learned that the child was Yu Lan, he was very surprised. What surprised him even more was that Yu Lan did not throw the hair away and even returned it to him.

This is really...

Erwin silently clenched his hair, a flame ignited from his hand, and the hair disappeared in the flames.

Yu Lan had no idea how busy Erwin's mind was. She followed the stream out of the forest. In order to prevent the villagers from noticing her, she walked in the dark alleys of the village, perfectly avoiding the villagers' sight, and finally went out the back door of the tavern.

Thanks to the little paper man who was spying outside every day, Yu Lan was now very familiar with every road in the village. Therefore, she could quickly avoid the eyes and ears and visit the largest intelligence network in the village - the tavern.

As expected, most of the idle people in the village gathered here to discuss what happened today.

"If you ask me, those children didn't run into the forest for fun and got lost. Instead, they were captured by Prince Linton!"

"I don't believe in Prince Linton. I hope the people who went out to search will come back soon."

"By the way...did something happen in the Imperial City?"

"what?"

"That...Roman family. Wasn't he staying well in the imperial city? Why did he suddenly come back to our small country?"

Roman's... Could it be about those two players? Yu Lan thought and continued to listen.

"Don't tell me, it seems like something really happened." The man lowered his voice and said as if he was telling a great secret: "I heard that the king is dying, and he hasn't even decided on an heir yet."

"No way..."

"I heard it when my church was delivering goods there before!" The man was afraid that others would not believe him, so he quickly said, "I heard that the princes and princesses are either sick or missing. In short, none of them lived to adulthood. The people in the church are also worried now."

"What if the king dies without an heir... then what should we do?"

The man pursed his lips, took a big sip of wine, and said nonchalantly, "I don't know about that. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, right? Come on, drink!"

Yu Lan listened for a while, and left after finding that there was no information she wanted.

These people are so leisurely... Isn't this a dungeon? Why aren't they discussing any news but chatting about gossip instead? Can they be more professional?

Yu Lan was walking down the path angrily when someone suddenly called her: "Hey, isn't this Xiao Yu? What are you doing here?"

Yu Lan's body stiffened, and she turned around and found that it was Victoria who was pregnant.

Victoria was holding a basket of vegetables, and seemed to have just come back from shopping. She squatted down and gently touched Yu Lan's face: "Although Uncle Aaron is not at home, don't run around, or Prince Linton will catch you."

Prince Linton! This person knows Prince Linton's information! Seeing this, Yu Lan pretended not to understand and looked at her.

"Oh, don't you know about Prince Linton?" Victoria was a little surprised, but when she thought of Uncle Aaron's temper, she felt that it was no big deal.

"Mom! What is Prince Linton?" Behind Victoria, a child who looked about the same age as Yu Lan grabbed her clothes. Yu Lan looked at him and saw a wary look in each other's eyes.

After looking at each other, both sides realized that the other party was also a player like themselves.

"Oh, Xiaowen..." Victoria looked down at her child in embarrassment, then looked at Yu Lan: "You don't know... well, the adults won't tell you."

"How about this, Xiaoyu, do you want to come to my house and play? I'll take you back after dinner, and in the meantime I'll tell you a story."

Of course, no problem. Yu Lan's eyes lit up and she nodded in agreement. But the other player was a little unhappy.

Due to the presence of NPCs, the player named Xiaowen could not reveal his identity, so he grabbed Victoria's clothes tightly and said to Yu Lan fiercely: "I don't want it! Doesn't she have a mother? Let her mother tell her!"

The player originally just wanted to drive Yu Lan away to get exclusive information, but unfortunately this hit the pain point of the identity of "Yu Lan".

Yu Lan was slightly stunned and frowned. But unfortunately she couldn't speak, Victoria was also there, she couldn't take revenge on him like a player.

"Xiao Wen, how can you say that!" Victoria was shocked and quickly apologized to Yu Lan: "I'm sorry, Xiao Yu, my child didn't mean it, don't take it to heart."

Yu Lan shook her head to indicate that she was fine. She clutched her sleeve tightly with her left hand, looked up at Victoria, and gave her a very bitter smile.

After doing all this, she turned around and walked into the alley and left, regardless of Victoria's attempts to keep her.

Victoria stared at Yu Lan's back in a daze, and when she recalled the smile she had just seen, she felt a dull pain in her heart.

After seeing Yu Lan leaving, Xiao Wen made a face at her, and then was hit by a critical hit of maternal love.

"Who taught you to talk like that? You always bully Xiaoyu like this, right?" Victoria raised her eyebrows angrily, twisted Xiaowen's ear and walked home, saying, "I'm going to tell your dad and ask him to teach you a lesson. You're going to be a big brother, how can you still be so childish!"

"Oh my god, it hurts!" Xiao Wen covered his ears and struggled in pain, but because Victoria was pregnant, he didn't dare to struggle: "Who is she?"

Victoria couldn't believe her ears: "You dare to ask me who she is after saying such a thing? Don't go out these few days and study hard at home!"

How could this be possible? He still had to go out and investigate.

"mom!"

Xiaowen tried to awaken her mother's love, but unfortunately it didn't work.

Yu Lan was walking in the alley. She stopped when she realized there was no one around and lowered her head to think about something.

Mom...even if she asked her mother, she wouldn't know about Prince Linton.

Yu Lan yawned helplessly. She was tired and sleepy after running all day, and a good clue was broken. The next time she saw that player, she would find an opportunity to beat him up.

Without further ado, let’s do it tonight!

Yu Lan nodded secretly, and suddenly noticed that the atmosphere around her had changed. She looked up and found that it was Erwin standing in front of her.

"Ms. Yu." Erwin took two steps forward and saw the expression on Yu Lan's face clearly.

And there is a tear in the corner of her eye that has not yet fallen (because of sleepiness).

Erwin suddenly felt his breathing stagnate. He took a deep breath and half squatted down, pretending that he didn't notice anything unusual and asked in a relaxed tone: "Did you encounter any problems?"

Yu Lan shook her head. She was fine now and everything was going according to plan... probably.

"Ha, I see." Erwin chuckled and asked, "Where are you going now? The sun is about to set. I don't recommend you go out now."

There are unknown dangers hidden in the darkness of the night. Especially since Yulan is afraid of the dark, it is better for her not to go out.

Yu Lan thought about it and realized that it was true. Anyway, there was no news today, so she might as well go back as soon as possible. Uncle Aaron might come back today, and it would be bad if he found out that she was not there.
