Fatal Game Syndrome

Holidays always pass by so quickly, and when they were almost about to leave, the two had to go back to Obsidian.

"Is it fun, Brother Lingling?"

Ling Jiushi distributed the gifts he brought back to everyone. Tan Zaozao and the other two girls came over with things in their hands and looked at him curiously.

"It's okay to play, but the environment is great. When you can go out later, we can go there and play together!"

After Ling Jiushi closed the suitcase, he handed it to Ruan Lanzhu who was standing beside him. His natural look made everyone in the living room smile.

No matter how powerful the boss is, he still has to listen to his wife. The two of them look so natural. It seems that the boss is the one who does the housework!

Well done!

Tan Zaozao secretly gave Ling Jiushi a thumbs up, but when the sharp-eyed Ruan Lanzhu saw it, she quickly shrank back timidly.

"You're going to be entering tomorrow, and I thought you guys weren't coming back!"

Cheng Qianli was holding the special snacks that Ling Jiushi had given him and looking at him dimly. Over the past month, his brother had been taking him to clean doors non-stop and he was almost exhausted!

"Isn't this back?"

Ling Jiushi patted him on the shoulder. No one from Obsidian had contacted them during this period, probably because they were afraid of disturbing their vacation. They would only leave a few jokes when Ling Jiushi posted on WeChat Moments.

The next morning, just as they sat down at the dining table to have breakfast, the lights in the living room began to flicker. The few people who had no time to eat quickly picked up their bags and went in.

After entering the door, the scene was the same as the note they had received before. It was indeed a place they were familiar with, but they did not dare to be careless. Even if the scene did not change, the door gods and contents inside would change.

"Will you not meet Xu Jin again?"

Cheng Qianli grabbed the strap of his schoolbag and looked around. This time, he and Li Dongyuan landed at the edge of the bamboo forest. They had both entered this door before, and the familiar environment made them less nervous.

On the other side, Tan Zaozao was with Ruan Lanzhu and the others and fell directly into the bushes in front of the cave. Among the five people, only Tan Zaozao had never been to this door, but with these two big guys around, she didn't have to worry at all and could even do it without thinking.

“It’s still that tour guide!”

Ling Jiushi parted the grass and looked at the female tour guide waiting at the cave entrance. It seemed that someone had already arrived and she was turning her head to say something to the inside of the cave.

"Go in first!"

Ruan Lanzhu brushed off the grass debris on his clothes and came out. His injuries had not healed from the last time he came here and he was very weak. Ling Jiushi had taken good care of him, but he wondered if he would receive the same treatment this time.

"Do you think she still remembers us?"

Ling Jiushi walked side by side with him in front, and Tan Zaozao followed behind them and looked around. She had never lived in a cave like this before!

"No, she is an NPC, not a gate god. The system will refresh once the person leaves. They have no memory."

When the three of them entered the cave, there were already four or five unfamiliar faces waiting inside. However, seeing that they did not look panicked, they must be experienced people.

Just as they sat down at the table, Li Dongyuan and Cheng Qianli also came in. They walked straight to sit opposite Ruan Lanzhu. Their unconcealed appearance attracted the attention of other passers-by. They immediately realized that these people were in the same group.

"Hello everyone, I am the person in charge of receiving you. I invited you all here this time because I want you to help find someone. She is the clan leader's youngest daughter. She has been missing for almost half a year, but we still can't find her. So thank you for your help!"

This time her role is not a tour guide?

Ling Jiushi and Ruan Lanzhu looked at each other. Was the mission to find the clan leader's youngest daughter, or to find someone?

"It's already late today. I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the village tomorrow. Everyone, go to bed early!"

"According to the clues, the chief's little daughter has probably turned into a drum, right?"

After the female tour guide left, Cheng Qianli leaned over to Ling Jiushi and whispered in his ear, "Last time the key was hidden in the drum. Will it be the same this time?"

"Go up and rest first. You'll know when you go out and look for it tomorrow."

Ruan Lanzhu stood up and looked at Ling Jiushi, "Let's go!"

Seeing that the five people here had gone upstairs, the other people who had passed by looked at each other and hurriedly followed. It was obvious that these people had notes, so there should be no problem if they followed them.

"We two will have one room, and you three will have another!"

Looking at Tan Zaozao who wanted to go in with him, Ruan Lanzhu stood at the door blocking the way and pointed to the room opposite.

"But......"

But she saw that there were three beds inside, and this stingy guy was not willing to give her one!

Ruan Lanzhu interrupted her, "How about you stay in a separate room?"

Tan Zaozao had no choice but to give up. She was timid, so she didn't even want to mention a room to herself. "Okay! It's not like I haven't lived in the same room with them before!"

Anyway, there’s one bed for each person, so just stay here!

Besides, she doesn't want to live in the same room with him. Wouldn't she be jealous seeing them showing affection every day?

Ling Jiushi threw his backpack on the bed and fell headfirst onto the middle bed. He looked at Ruan Lanzhu who had locked the door and walked over and asked, "Why don't you let Zaozao live with us?"

"She's a girl, it's inconvenient for her to live with us!"

Ruan Lanzhu threw her bag onto the other bed as well, and her words were not convincing at all.

"...Li Dongyuan and Cheng Qianli are not men?"

"Can that be the same?"

Ruan Lanzhu sat next to him, "We are a couple. If we do something that is inconvenient for her to see, she will be the one who is embarrassed!"

Things that are inconvenient for others to see?

"Don't mess around, we're inside the door!"

Ling Jiushi sat up suddenly and pointed at him to warn him.

"Mischievous? A kiss doesn't count as mischievous, right?"

After saying that, she pounced on him, her hair rubbing against Ling Jiushi's neck, making it tingle. She smiled and pushed his head.

The three people who had not eaten breakfast were just about to ask the two if they wanted to go downstairs to find something to eat when they heard a faint sound coming from inside. Their hands that were raised in the air to knock on the door froze there. They looked at each other awkwardly, and then went downstairs to find food.

Tan Zaozao was very glad that she didn't live in the same room with them, otherwise Brother Ruan would probably hate her to death. It turned out that single people are not welcome!

"Well, aren't you hungry?"

Ling Jiushi sat up and looked at him. His stomach was empty now. It was already evening here. If he didn't go downstairs to find something to eat, he would have to wait until tomorrow for breakfast.

Ruan Lanzhu stood up and put his clothes in order, "Let's go, let's go down and take a look!"

When the two of them knocked on the door opposite and found that no one answered, they guessed that the three of them must have gone downstairs to find food.

"Eat?"

Cheng Qianli was holding a soft noodle in his mouth. He looked up and saw two people walking over. Li Dongyuan and Tan Zaozao next to him were poking at the food in their bowls, obviously unable to eat either.

Seeing what was in his mouth, Ling Jiushi instantly lost his appetite. The scene hadn't changed at all! Even the unpalatable noodles were still there!

"you eat!"

Ling Jiushi turned and walked towards the kitchen. If there were any ingredients, he might as well make some himself. He couldn't stay hungry forever.

"Lan Zhu, I'll cook for you until we meet!"

Ling Jiushi rummaged around in the kitchen. There wasn't much in it, but there was some rice, flour, eggs and other things.

"Okay! I'll light a fire for you."

Ruan Lanzhu sat down behind the earthen stove. This place was really primitive. There was no running water and no gas stove, but the firewood and water tanks were full.

Ruan Lanzhu's next action was simply a huge stain on his life. Thick smoke filled the entire kitchen and then drifted into the cave, choking everyone and causing them to run outside, thinking that there was a fire.

"Can you???"

Ling Jiushi was so choked that his eyes were filled with tears. He walked behind Ruan Lanzhu, squatted down and looked into the stove. The firewood blocking inside was about to break the stove door.

“You can’t cram so much in!”

Ling Jiushi grabbed the stick inside and pulled it out. "It can't burn without air! Don't you know that?"

Except for Ruan Lanzhu, whose hands were a little dusty, he nodded and said, "I know, I just didn't remember it for the moment!"

"Row!"

Ling Jiushi clapped his hands and stood up, "Then you light it again, I'll go ask Zaozao and the others if they want to eat it."

When they heard Ling Jiushi was going to cook noodles, Tan Zaozao and Li Dongyuan immediately nodded in agreement. Even Cheng Qianli, who was standing at the entrance of the cave with a bowl in his hand, put down the noodles in his hand.

"I thought there was a fire, but it turned out to be Brother Ruan who was lighting the fire!"

Tan Zaozao followed Ling Jiushi into the kitchen and saw the boss condescending to sit behind the earthen stove, looking particularly aggrieved.

"You can do it, come?"

Ruan Lanzhu looked at her expressionlessly.

"No, no!"

Tan Zaozao waved her hands repeatedly, she really couldn't do it!
