Fatal Game Syndrome

"Brother Lingling, it's already May, why are you still wearing turtlenecks? Aren't you hot?"

Cheng Qianli couldn't help but ask when he looked at Ling Jiushi beside him, "Although the temperature in the villa is constant, it's not necessary to wear a turtleneck, right? Why is he so hot and cold?"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see why, this child is only growing in height but not in brains.

"Eat your food!"

Ling Jiushi grinned awkwardly, not knowing how to answer. Cheng Yixie, who was sitting opposite him, glanced at him, and Cheng Qianli immediately lowered his head obediently.

"Brother Lingling, aren't you going to live with us anymore?"

After hearing Ruan Lanzhu say that they were going to move in and live on their own, Cheng Qianli looked at Ling Jiu eagerly and suddenly felt that the food in his mouth didn't taste good anymore.

"Neither!"

Ling Jiushi picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his bowl. "I have discussed it with your brother Ruan. We will live together for a while. Don't worry!"

"Brother Lingling, you..."

Having just coaxed Cheng Qianli, Tan Zaozao on the opposite side looked at Ling Jiushi hesitantly, and then glanced cautiously at Ruan Lanzhu next to him.

"what?"

Seeing Ling Jiushi's blank eyes and the man next to him staring at her threateningly, Tan Zaozao turned her words around and spoke more tactfully, "Well, I mean we're about to go in, don't overwork yourself!"

"......"

For a moment, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Tan Zaozao.

This woman is so brave!

Just say whatever is in your mind!

Aren’t you afraid of being beaten to death by Ruan Lanzhu?

"What are you talking about! What's the point of talking about being tired or not? Just eat your food!"

Ling Jiushi's face turned red and he gave Tan Zaozao a white look. What are these idle people worrying about every day?

"The third door is coming soon. Although the doors we are entering now are all the ones we have experienced before, the contents inside have changed."

Seeing Ling Jiushi's slightly ashamed and angry expression, Ruan Lanzhu grabbed his hand and squeezed it soothingly, helping him change the subject.

When the cannibalistic mother and daughter came out of the door, the note they received had only two words on it: Illusion!

This clue is as good as nothing. With so many people entering the door, did they all enter the same illusion, or did everyone see something different? I wanted to prepare in advance but I didn't know how to start.

"Generally speaking, illusions will directly hit a person's deepest fears, so you must be mentally prepared."

There was a hint of worry in Ruan Lanzhu's eyes when he looked at Ling Jiushi. Everyone has their own fears and concerns, and what Ling Jiushi hides in his heart is too heavy.

"Don't worry, I can do it!"

Ling Jiushi smiled. He knew Ruan Lanzhu was worried, but he had already gotten much better with Ruan Lanzhu's encouragement. Moreover, it would be worth it if he could break free from the nightmare that had been trapping him through the illusion.

Ruan Lanzhu didn't say anything. He didn't care about anyone before, but now with Ling Jiushi appearing, he was not sure if he could get through the illusion smoothly.

After living in the villa for a week, the two moved back to Obsidian. The time for marriage was approaching, and they had to live together.

"Have you packed it up?"

The lights in the living room began to flash again. After seeing that everyone was ready, Ruan Lanzhu pushed open the door in front of him.

However, as soon as they stepped into the door, everyone felt dizzy and lost consciousness in the white light that was so strong that they could not open their eyes.

Ruan Lanzhu also fainted for a moment, but quickly came to his senses. However, there seemed to be an earthquake where he was standing. The ground under his feet kept shaking, and there were screams all around. Along with the sound of buildings collapsing, he also heard constant wailing.

It really is an earthquake!

Ruan Lanzhu's head was buzzing and the shaking of the earth stirred the entire space. He felt that he was having difficulty breathing, as if the oxygen in the air had been sucked out. There was a yellow haze above his head and he could not see the sky or the sun.

Ling Jiushi!

Ruan Lanzhu's brain short-circuited for a moment, then he came to his senses immediately. This should be the earthquake that Ling Jiushi had experienced before. He wondered if both he and Ling Jiushi had entered this illusion.

After Ruan Lanzhu determined his position, he began to look for Ling Jiushi. He came to the location shown by the locator, but the place was full of collapsed ruins, and it was really difficult to find a person inside.

Finally, under the ruins of a small slope, he saw Ling Jiushi who was trapped under a stone pillar. Not far away was the figure of a man running up the hillside. He kept looking back and telling Ling Jiushi to wait a moment, as there were more people asking for help over there.

Gao Dawei!

Ruan Lanzhu witnessed the scene where Gao Dawei left Ling Jiushi behind to save others. He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, but since he was here, there was no need for him to save Ling Jiushi.

Ling Jiushi lay on the ground and looked at his friend who was gradually disappearing from his sight. The last bit of expectation in his heart also disappeared as he went away.

Is this an illusion?

Or is the reality we are in now?

“Ling Ling!”

Ling Jiushi lay powerlessly on the ground with his vision becoming blurred. When he felt he was about to collapse, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

It’s Ruan Lanzhu!

Ling Jiushi tried hard to open his eyes to look for the source of the sound. A man was running towards him quickly, his face full of anxiety, and he kept calling his name.

"Lanzhu!"

Ling Jiushi couldn't hold back his tears. The person who could save him had come, so he didn't need to expect someone who would not choose him to save him.

"I'm here Lingling!"

Ruan Lanzhu's normally calm face was now sweating with anxiety. The stone pillar pressing on Ling Jiushi was too big, and he could not move it by himself.

"Lingling, don't sleep!"

Seeing that Ling Jiushi’s eyelids were about to collapse, Ruan Lanzhu became even more anxious. He was afraid that Ling Jiushi was seriously injured inside the door and would be affected after going out. He had to rescue him quickly!

Thinking of this, Ruan Lanzhu took out his cell phone, but the phone showed no signal. There was no way to call for help, nor was there any way to contact Li Dongyuan and the other three?

There was no other way. After Ruan Lanzhu activated the alarm on his mobile phone, he started to move the stones on Ling Jiushi's body with his bare hands. Since he couldn't move the big ones, he would clear the small ones first!

When the rescue team heard Ruan Lanzhu's alarm and rushed over, Ruan Lanzhu had already cleared most of the stones except for the huge stone pillar, and most of Ling Jiushi's body was also exposed, with only his legs still stuck in the cracks of the rocks.

"Lanzhu..."

When Ling Jiushi was put into the ambulance and given intravenous drip, he finally regained some consciousness. In a trance, he saw Ruan Lanzhu who was following in the car. His hands were covered in blood and looked very scary.

"Does it hurt?"

Ling Jiushi's tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes. He wanted to reach out and touch him, but he had no strength left in his body.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt!"

It would be strange if it didn’t hurt!

His hand was burning with pain, and the nurse next to him realized that there was another injured person. She quickly looked for medicine and gauze, preparing to bandage him.

Ruan Lanzhu was afraid that her hands would scare him, so she turned around and put her hands behind her back before handing them to the nurse to clean. She also stretched her neck and kissed Ling Jiushi's dirty face.
