Fatal Game Syndrome

“This steak tastes pretty good!”

Cheng Qianli was eating happily. He didn't understand why the two people sitting opposite him looked so bland when eating.

Tan Zaozao cut the steak slowly and sighed, "Except for breakfast, if I eat steak for two meals a day, I will get tired of it no matter how good it tastes."

While the few of them were eating, the rest of the guests had no appetite. When they saw the housekeeper leave, everyone's eyes fell on Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi intentionally or unintentionally.

Among these five people, except for the woman and the silly-looking kid who are a bit unreliable, the other three seem very calm, and the relaxed feeling on them does not seem to be pretended. They seem to be masters!

These people had different expressions on their faces, and no one knew what they were thinking. When they saw a few people finishing their meal and about to leave, they finally couldn't help but start to talk and establish some relationships with them.

"brother!"

The man closest to Ling Jiushi saw them put down their knives and forks and prepare to stand up, so he quickly stood up and shouted.

Ling Jiushi paused and turned to look at the man behind him with confusion in his eyes. Ruan Lanzhu and the others also looked at him.

The man smiled awkwardly. This big guy has such a strong aura!

"Do you have any clues?"

Seeing that Ling Jiushi's eyes narrowed, the man felt that his question was rather abrupt. Why should someone share the clues he had found?

"We searched outside but didn't find anything useful. I saw you guys searching inside the castle this morning. Did you find anything useful? If you did, can we exchange it?"

Ling Jiushi looked back at Ruan Lanzhu and saw him raise his eyebrows, so he turned around and smiled at the man, "We did find something!"

Everyone looked over and looked at Ling Jiushi expectantly, but he looked at them with a half-smile and asked, "Didn't you find any clues? So what do you plan to exchange for?"

The atmosphere froze instantly. I thought this gentle-looking man would be easy to talk to, but I didn't expect that he actually planned to exchange with me!

"hehe!"

The man chuckled twice, and Ling Jiushi also realized that he was trying to get information for free because he looked easy to talk to.

It wasn't in vain that he and Ruan Lanzhu had been through so many doors together. He was no longer as easy to talk to as he was at the beginning!

"this......"

The other people who passed by the restaurant all had embarrassed looks on their faces. They were either newcomers who had nothing to show for themselves, or the old people who did have something on them, but it was just a clue. They would not take out the good stuff to exchange, it was not worth it!

And with so many people here, who would be willing to exchange their own things for public information?

Seeing that everyone was avoiding looking at them and pretending to be quails and waiting for others to step forward, Li Dongyuan sneered disdainfully, "This news is related to life and death!"

"That's right!"

Tan Zaozao said seriously, "This taboo condition is within reach, it is indeed a matter of life and death!"

Seeing that they all had smiles on their faces and didn't look fake, everyone in the restaurant panicked and didn't care about pretending to be dead and started whispering to each other.

"That's it, brother!"

The man who spoke first had a worried look on his face, but his eyes were observing the expressions of the others. "We really haven't found any clues yet, and we don't have anything valuable on us, but it's fate that we can gather here. Why don't you share the clues you've found first? When we find something useful, we'll definitely tell you, okay?"

Before Ling Jiushi could speak, Ruan Lanzhu sneered, took a step forward, pulled Ling Jiushi behind him, crossed his arms and looked at these people nonchalantly, with a tone of contempt, "First of all, there are so many of you and you haven't found any clues at all. It shows that you are not capable people!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces turned unhappy. Isn't this too harsh? No face at all!

"Secondly, we are fully capable of protecting ourselves, so there is no need to wait for you to find clues to exchange!"

"Finally, I don't know if it's fate that brought us together here. I only know that it's an equal exchange. For me, getting something for free doesn't work!"

After that, he took Ling Jiushi's hand and turned to leave. A group of people stayed in the restaurant, angry and annoyed. This guy was too arrogant! But what he said was not wrong and they could not refute it.

What a bunch of useless things!

The man who spoke to him cursed inwardly and glanced at everyone in the restaurant. None of them could be relied on.

"There isn't a single pure-minded person here, so why not die!"

On the way back to the room, Ruan Lanzhu said to Ling Jiushi, "Everyone wants to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. How can such a good thing ever happen?"

"Why do you think I'm a breakthrough? Do I look so easy to talk to?"

Ruan Lanzhu stopped, turned around and walked up to Ling Jiushi to look at him carefully. Ling Jiushi looked at the serious expression on this handsome face that suddenly enlarged in front of him and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"what!"

Ruan Lanzhu looked at his face for a long time, "I'm looking at why you look so cute!"

Ling Jiushi's old face turned red, and the three people behind him were also shocked when they heard the words. They got goose bumps all over the floor. They couldn't stand the two people's stickyness and quickly slipped away along the wall.

"I can't stand it!"

Li Dongyuan rubbed his arms and said to the two people beside him, "If I'm like this when I'm dating, remember to slap me to wake me up!"

Tan Zaozao rolled her eyes at him and even slapped him to wake him up. Did he think that he and Zhuang Rujiao could ever get along well?

"We just gave them so much face, these people won't do anything bad behind the scenes, right?"

Ling Jiushi pulled Ruan Lanzhu's hand down to change the subject. Ruan Lanzhu saw that his ears were so red that they were about to bleed but he was still pretending to be calm. He looked so cute no matter how she looked at him.

Ruan Lanzhu tapped the mole on his nose, pinched his earlobe and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. There are so many people who are trying to trip us up. Now they can't even protect themselves. We have to survive first!"

"Fine!"

Ling Jiushi didn't ask any more questions. The sensible Tan Zaozao had just moved her quilt to the opposite side, leaving the two of them lying on the bed looking out the window. It started raining outside again at this time, and the sound of raindrops falling on the windowsill was dripping, which made Ling Jiushi unable to sleep at all.

"You said we just told those people that taboo conditions can be found everywhere. Will those veterans force the newbies to test them?"

"possible!"

Ruan Lanzhu said, "But this has nothing to do with us!"

"It does matter!"

Ling Jiushi looked up at him and said, "Aren't you going to help the mistress get rid of the scumbag? If he eats those people who passed through his house, wouldn't he be even stronger?"

"Those people downstairs are willing to fight and be beaten, and we can't stop them."

"We can't let this scumbag keep eating us. The stronger he gets, the more dangerous we will be!"

Ruan Lanzhu smiled, "Have you forgotten? Isn't there still a hostess?"

Ling Jiushi was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief. He indeed forgot that the hostess could sense and curb the scumbag's soul-sucking behavior in advance. In this case, they would not like to meddle in other people's business. Let those who are willing to try it go ahead.

"Where do you think the door is hidden?"

Ling Jiushi rubbed his head against Ruan Lanzhu's shoulder, and the soft stubble of hair tickled his neck. Ruan Lanzhu reached out and patted the top of his head, which felt very good. He couldn't help but insert his fingers into his hair to smooth it out.

"There are so many rooms in the castle. It would be a waste of time to search them one by one."

"Just take your time looking for him!" Ruan Lanzhu said, "We can't catch the scumbag behind the mirror. If we want to kill him, we have to wait until the exhibition. Now there are less than six days left. We have so much time. What's the point of looking for him quickly? We have to find something to kill time!"

Having said that, Ling Jiushi was still a little anxious. Neither the door nor the key was in his hands, and he felt uneasy!

“I don’t have to worry about my own meals, and the living environment is pretty good. I’ll just treat it as a vacation!”

Ruan Lanzhu kissed his forehead and said, "Anyway, the outside world is still under blockade. If we go back, we can only stay at home and can't go anywhere. We might as well stay here for a few more days."

Ling Jiushi wanted to hold his forehead with his hand. The world inside the gate was full of dangers, especially since it was already the eighth gate. How could the two of them come in for vacation? Who would believe it if he told anyone else?

"It would be nice if it didn't rain. Even though the outside hasn't been taken care of, it still looks pretty."

Ling Jiushi slid into the quilt and lay down. In this temperature and weather, curling up in bed was a very happy thing!

"There is also a manor on the outskirts of the city, and it's for sale. The location is a bit remote. If you like it, we can take it!"

Ling Jiushi suddenly turned around and looked at him. Is this what a wealthy person would say? Buying a manor just like that?

"Don't look at me like that! Isn't the money with you? You have to pay for it if you want to buy it!"

"In fact, our little villa is already very good, so forget about the manor!"

Ling Jiushi muttered softly, there are only two of them, and with Obsidian there are only more than ten people, why do they need such a big manor?

Thank you to Grandma Ai Haiwu, Fuyaozhishangqiwanli, Yaofeng and Huang Xiaojie for generating power with love. Love you!
