Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

"You're welcome, sir." The camel team leader said with a smile, then took Yu Lan back to their team and explained to his companions.

The teammates in the camel caravan were a little unhappy at first, but when they heard the leader of the camel caravan say that this was a ghost lost in the desert, not to mention that she was a messenger of God in the temple before, they no longer had any complaints about her.

Putting aside their identities as God's messengers, sending a dead soul back to its hometown is also a kind of practice for them. After all, for caravans traveling in the desert all year round, no one can tell whether they will die in the desert, and the dead souls cannot find a place to return to in the desert.

If they don’t help Yu Lan today, maybe no one will help her when she dies in the future.

There were a total of six people and fifteen camels in the camel caravan. Now with Yu Lan, there were only seven people, which was more than enough for the fifteen camels.

Yu Lan was a little worried because she had never ridden a camel before, but she couldn't show it on the surface, otherwise it would damage her image.

The camel team leader respected Yu Lan's status very much, so he arranged her to be the second one, behind himself. The teammates had no complaints, but they felt that the heat on their bodies had been reduced a lot since Yu Lan walked in front. After thinking about it, they thought that it was the messenger of God who had mercy on them and sent down a miracle.

This way, they will have even less complaints.

Along the way, Yu Lan adhered to what was written in the hexagram and remained aloof; the people in the camel caravan respected the identity of the messenger of God and did not dare to come forward to talk to him.

Not long after, Yu Lan saw that the direction of the camel team was about to deviate from her own direction. After weighing the pros and cons, she said to the leader of the camel team, "Go southwest."

"Southwest?" The camel caravan leader frowned. According to his experience, they should go the opposite route, where they would pass by a deserted city where they could rest for a night.

Yu Lan didn't explain much, and insisted, "Southwest."

The camel team leader hesitated, then discussed with his teammates. Out of respect for the messenger of God, they decided to head southwest, but someone had objections, he whispered.

"She is nothing but a lackey of the old gods. Why listen to her?"

Yu Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, but stared straight ahead without moving, as if she didn't hear what the man was saying.

"You! Stop talking!" The camel team leader cursed, then walked up to Yu Lan and smiled flatteringly: "Sorry, sir, don't listen to his nonsense."

Yu Lan shook her head, indicating that she didn't care about it: "I am no longer a god's messenger... What do you mean by the old god?"

Upon hearing this question, the camel caravan leader's face changed. He did not answer, but just headed southwest.

Yu Lan did not ask any more questions. It didn't matter, there was still plenty of time, she would be able to get the truth out of him sooner or later... But she had to be careful tonight.

The sun was setting, and the camel caravan leader became anxious as they headed in the direction Yu Lan had said but found nothing.

At night, there is not only a big temperature difference, but also sandstorms and wild wolves that appear from time to time. If they spend the night in the wild, the risk is very high.

Although the leader of the camel caravan was a little anxious, he still held back and said nothing. He believed that the messenger of the old god could take them away from here, but the others could not hold back any longer.

The team member who had previously called Yu Lan a lackey of the old gods could not help but complain, "Didn't she say she was a messenger of God? I thought she was very powerful. If I had known, I would not have listened to her. Maybe we would have arrived at Scarlet Shadow City by now."

Yu Lan remained motionless, as if she had not heard anything. Other members of the team also had some complaints, but they did not dare to speak out loud for the sake of the leader's face, but they could not help but complain in their hearts.

The morale of the team was shaken, and the leader couldn't help but turn back to communicate with Yu Lan, praying that she would not take her anger out on the team members.

Yu Lan shook her head and said, "First, I'm not a divine messenger. Second, look ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, the team behind him couldn't help but exclaimed. The leader quickly looked back and saw that a city built of black stone had suddenly appeared in the desert.

The leader of the camel team couldn't help but feel scared about this deserted city, and said that the place they were going to settle down was also a deserted city, but that deserted city would not appear out of thin air, nor would it be built of ominous black stone!

At the same time, the sun was setting and they were running out of time.

Should they enter this deserted city that suddenly appeared, or spend the night in the wild? The leader of the camel team was in a dilemma.

At this time, Yu Lan got off the camel and walked towards the deserted city. When passing by the leader, she left a message: "If you go forward, you will live. If you stay, you will die."

The leader was anxious, and Yu Lan was afraid. So she had just used the cover of her robe and camel bells to tell fortunes for herself, and when she looked up again, she found that the ominous black city appeared in front of them.

The camel caravan members were afraid. What they were afraid of was the color of the city. However, Yu Lan saw a color other than black. It was the color of the soul.

How to describe it, Yu Lan couldn't describe that color in words. To use the words that Party A often said, it was a colorful black. But it didn't feel ominous to her. It was just the color of an ordinary person's soul and it was harmless.

Yu Lan slowly approached the city, and after a while she heard footsteps coming from behind.

Yu Lan smiled slightly and said, "Hey, I'm caught."

The closer they got to the city, the clearer Yu Lan could see. The light that the souls turned into had a red thread that bound them, preventing them from leaving the city. The end of the thread led to the city. Yu Lan thought about it and decided to find a place to stay first, and then go to the end of the thread to take a look when she felt that there was no problem.

There are not many clues at present. Yu Lan only got this world, or there was once a god enshrined in the Red Shadow City. Later, for unknown reasons, a new god appeared to replace it, and the messenger of the old god was wearing a red robe.

And the name of the copy is "Fall of Two Gods"...hiss, it looks very interesting.

The camel team leader led the team into the city, and the sun had completely set. Yu Lan couldn't see clearly at night, so she took out a torch prepared in a storage ring in advance, but she couldn't find a lighter no matter how hard she looked, so she could only rub her two fingers together to light the fire.

In fact, there is a flashlight in the storage ring, but Yu Lan was afraid that the flashlight would not be compatible with the technology here, so she used a simple torch.

After making the fire, Yu Lan was still worried whether she would be discovered while using her spiritual power. Then she met several pairs of piercing eyes behind her. It was obvious that all they were thinking was "Wow, making fireballs with bare hands, so cool".

As Yu Lan thought, the people in the camel caravan also thought so. She still said she was not a messenger of God? How could an ordinary person make a fireball with bare hands? She must be a messenger of God!

Yu Lan stopped and looked at the camel team leader who was walking towards her: "What's the matter?"

"Sir," the camel caravan leader said with difficulty, "Do you know what this city is about?"

Yu Lan: ? If you ask me, who should I ask?

But that's not the way to say it. Yu Lan looked at the houses and buildings in the distance and sighed faintly: "I can feel an unusual atmosphere."

The camel team leader's face turned serious, and then Yu Lan said, "But I don't feel threatened by this aura. You seem to know something about this city?"

The camel team leader sighed for a long time, then said, "Let's find a place to rest first."

Yu Lan nodded, she had the same idea.

The few of them did not dare to go into the Black City, so they chose a house on the periphery that was not so badly damaged. After entering the house, Yu Lan saw tableware on the table beside them, and some furry things on the tableware that could no longer be seen clearly... It should be food. The desert environment is dry, and food is not easy to rot, but it has been covered with a layer of black fungus.

After entering the room and searching around, the camel team decided it would be better to rest in the spacious living room so they could prepare for any incidents. More importantly, it would save some resources.

Some of the supplies they carried were lost in the vast desert, and the remaining supplies were only enough for them to survive for a few days. If they could not reach Chiying City by then, they would really become lost souls in the desert like Yulan.

Yu Lan didn’t know that the camel caravan leader thought she was a ghost, otherwise she would have laughed out loud on the spot.

Several people in the camel caravan went to prepare food, leaving only the leader. The camel caravan leader sighed and began to narrate: "Sir, do you know that the god worshipped in Chiying City is not the same god you worship?"

Yu Lan was silent for a moment, then spoke the truth again: "Everyone says I'm not a messenger of God."

"Yes, yes, yes." The camel team leader responded perfunctorily, saying, "You say yours and I say mine, sir, you don't know that not long after you left, the city underwent tremendous changes... A new god appeared, he devoured the old god, killed all the old god's apostles, and even massacred the city."

He pointed down and whispered, "The black that can be seen everywhere in the city is evidence."

According to the leader of the camel team, this city that suddenly appeared was most likely one of the cities massacred by the new god. Because the old gods thought black was an ominous color, the new gods deliberately dyed all these cities black to announce his existence to the apostles of the old gods.

Also because he massacred the city, these empty cities were also called the Lost City by the people of the Red Shadow City. No one who entered would survive, and all would be cursed by the undead of the Lost City. This was contrary to what Yu Lan said, and the leader was very conflicted, so he said it out loud.

Yu Lan knew the camel team leader's worries, but she would not put herself in a dangerous situation where she was uncertain. Yu Lan felt it carefully, then went out of the house and smiled suddenly.

She raised her head and pointed to the sky and said, "Look."

The leader of the camel team was stunned for a moment by the half of Yu Lan's face that was revealed, then turned to look at the sky that Yu Lan was pointing at, but saw nothing but a sky full of stars.

Yu Lan suddenly remembered that the camel team leader could not see what she saw, so she reached out and touched his brow to open his eyes briefly. The leader felt a chill between his brows, and when he turned his head to look at the night sky again, he was so shocked that he could not speak.

I saw colorful lights transforming into human figures standing on the edge of the deserted city, facing a group of blurry red shadows. They were wearing different clothes, but they all had a thin red line wrapped around their waists. They all faced the blurry red shadows outside in unison, fighting silently.

After a while, it was time to open his eyes. The leader came back to his senses and said in surprise: "What is that?!"

"Those red shadows wanted to come in. As for those who were fighting with the red shadows... I think they were the original residents of the city."

What are those red shadows, why don't those lost residents leave, and what are the red thin lines on their waists? The leader knows nothing, but he thinks that the truth behind the New God's wrath and massacre of the city is not as simple as everyone seems.

Because the color represented by the old gods is also the origin of the name of Red Shadow City.

The leader of the camel team looked at Yu Lan. Wait a minute, if Yu Lan is the messenger of the old gods, then doesn’t that mean she is...? !

Sensing the leader's gaze, Yu Lan remained unmoved and said calmly, "I've already said that I'm not a divine messenger anymore."

Yu Lan's words are interesting. This "了" can be interpreted in two ways. One is to simply indicate that she is no longer a messenger of God. That "了" is just a simple modal particle. The other meaning is that she is no longer a messenger of God.

As for how to interpret it...it depends on the leader.

Just when I felt that I had perceived an incredible idea, I suddenly realized that Yu Lan said that she was not a messenger of God. Does it mean that she realized the truth of that year and was disappointed with the old gods, so she said that she was not a messenger of God?

So that's how it is. The leader, who felt that he had discovered the truth, suddenly realized it and said in a more respectful manner: "Then, sir, now we..."

Hearing the leader address her, Yu Lan smiled in her heart, but sighed helplessly: "You... forget it. With the souls of those residents here, we don't have to worry. After dawn, those red shadows will disappear, and we can leave then."

"Okay, sir." The leader said, and the people who were preparing food and counting supplies came back. One of them began to distribute food. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Yu Lan was the last one. When the man's hand was distributed to Yu Lan, his hands were empty. He said with regret: "Sorry, sir, there is no food. I guess you don't need to eat as an undead body? I'm officially sorry."

Yu Lan didn't care that the man's words were directed at her. She just looked at the man in front of her in confusion. When did she die?

Don’t think about people dying casually!

In response, Yu Lan gave the man a bright smile: "It's okay, but I want to correct two points: first, I am not a messenger of God, and second, I don't need to eat human food, but..."

Although the hood blocked Yu Lan's expression, the man felt as if he was seen through inside and out, as if Yu Lan was not looking at him, but the soul inside his body!

He couldn't help but shiver, remembering some stories about ghosts eating people, and then looked at Yu Lan in horror.

If they don’t eat human food, what else can they eat? Of course, they eat humans!
