Fatal Game Syndrome

When the five people returned to the inn, there were already a few people passing through the courtyard. When they saw Ling Jiushi and the others come in, everyone stopped talking and looked over.

Ling Jiushi's eyes scanned the courtyard. There were not many people coming in. In addition to them, there were four men and two women. None of them looked restrained and they were obviously veterans.

"coming!"

Tan Zaozao tugged at the corner of Ling Jiushi's clothes, and Yu Fu came in from outside holding a tray with keys in her hand. Her eyes swept across everyone's faces, and she walked straight into the room without stopping.

The people passing through the courtyard looked at each other and followed her in.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yu Fu opened her red lips and spoke without any emotion, "Everyone is welcome to come to the town to participate in the river god sacrifice. After the sacrifice, everyone can go back. Now I have two things to explain to everyone."

"First of all, take a rest at midnight every day. Don't run around, lest you get lost."

Ling Jiushi and Li Dongyuan looked at each other. She had told them the same thing last time!

"The second thing is, don't turn off the oil lamp. Make sure you sleep with the lamp on!"

really!

The second thing was exactly the same as the last time. Has the world not changed at all? No way? Didn't Yu Fu find her son?

"This yard is a room prepared for everyone. Here are the keys. You can distribute them among yourselves!"

After saying this, Yu Fu turned around and left without paying any attention to the guests who were whispering to each other.

"The room here is quite big, and there are two beds. The five of us can just squeeze into one!"

Ling Jiushi leaned close to Ruan Lanzhu's ear and whispered. The two exchanged glances, and finally he winked at Cheng Qianli, asking him to get a key and leave. The six people were left looking at each other. It was obvious that these five people were together, and they had no intention of cooperating with them at all. Finally, the six people split into two teams, three people in each room.

"no!"

Tan Zaozao pulled the strap of his backpack and looked around the room speechlessly, "You two are sleeping in one bed, so where should I sleep?"

Ling Jiushi and Ruan Lanzhu threw the things on the bed on the right, and then walked around the room looking for clues.

After Li Dongyuan came in, he took off his shoes and fell directly on the bed on the left. Cheng Qianli sat at the end of the bed like a little wife.

The only girl stood at the door of the room, looking left and right. There was no place for her to sit, and these four grown men had no intention of giving up their beds.

"Sleep on the floor!"

Li Dongyuan pointed at the empty space in the room with his chin and said, "You are used to sleeping on the floor anyway, but we are different. We can't get used to it!"

Tan Zaozao felt the veins on her forehead throbbing. Was she used to it?

"That's right, Sister Zaozao. You sleep on the floor for one person. If you sleep on a bed, two people will have to sleep on the floor. This is not cost-effective!"

Tan Zaozao was speechless, and finally her gaze fell on Ling Jiushi again, trying to use her innocent eyes to make Ling Jiushi feel guilty and feel sorry for her.

Seeing that Tan Zaozao was planning to take advantage of Ling Jiushi, Ruan Lanzhu twitched his lips and said sarcastically, "The bed is big. If they are willing, you can squeeze in with them. Or you can sleep on the table. The table is quite big. You are so short, so you will definitely be able to move freely."

Tan Zaozao looked at the two men with disgust on their faces, then looked at the square table in the middle of the room. Although the table was indeed big enough, it was not a reason for Ruan Lanzhu to mock her!

"You wait for me!"

Ruan Lanzhu closed his eyes with disdain, not taking Tan Zaozao's threat seriously at all, "Tsk!"

"We take a break at 11:00 every day. What time is 11:00?"

Cheng Qianli habitually took out his mobile phone and wanted to search Baidu, but there was no internet here, so he looked up and asked the old father opposite, "And the oil lamp cannot be extinguished, can it still be powered by human oil?"

"The hour of Hai is from nine to eleven."

Ling Jiushi sat down next to Ruan Lanzhu, took out clean clothes and pants from his bag and threw them to Ruan Lanzhu. He was still wearing the clothes that had just got wet, and there was no place outside to change clothes. Seeing that he was uncomfortable all the way, he must have been feeling very uncomfortable.

"I'm not sure if it's caused by human fatigue. Why don't you go to the next room and turn off the lights for a night to see what happens?"

"Forget it!"

Cheng Qianli waved his hands repeatedly, he didn't have the courage!

"Is there a place to take a shower?"

Ruan Lanzhu walked to the door with clothes and pants and turned back.

"There shouldn't be such good conditions in ancient times, right? Go out and ask!"

Ling Jiushi followed Ruan Lanzhu out of the door. After finding the housekeeper in the yard, he placed a large bathtub in the empty room next to him. When he saw Ruan Lanzhu taking off all his clothes and walking in, Ling Jiushi turned around and wanted to go out, but he was pulled by Ruan Lanzhu's hand and fell in.

"Since we're here, let's take a shower together!"

Ling Jiushi struggled to get up and turn over, but Ruan Lanzhu grabbed him by the waist and leaned over to whisper. Her hot breath fell on his ear, making it numb.

"Aren't you guys going to take a shower? Why are you taking so long?"

Tan Zaozao had already made her bed on the floor and had a nap. She was still a little dazed when she saw Ruan Lanzhu and the other man pushing the door in. She raised her hand to look at her watch. Wow, these two people had been washing for almost two hours!

"The water has to be boiled fresh. The tub is so big and the pot is so small. Isn't it normal for the bath to take a long time?"

Ruan Lanzhu, looking refreshed, glanced at her. Ling Jiushi, blushing and silent, walked to the bedside calmly under the questioning gazes of the three people.

Fortunately, these three people didn't pay too much attention to him. If they noticed his unnatural walking posture, he wouldn't know how to explain it.

"Can I give you a massage?"

Ruan Lanzhu considerately put his arm around his waist and sat down beside the bed. His oblivious look made Tan Zaozao roll his eyes. Then he lifted the quilt, covered his head with it, and fell asleep.

"do not want!"

Ling Jiushi pushed him away and fell on the bed. Ruan Lanzhu was also messing around inside the door. What if he was discovered? And he didn't know if such a house was soundproof. However, seeing the expressions of the three of them, it seemed that they didn't hear anything, otherwise he would have wanted to find a piece of tofu to kill himself.

"Don't go to sleep yet. I don't know if Yu Fu will bring the piglet over tonight. We still don't know what the door is like, so we still have to be cautious."

Ling Jiushi fell on the bed with his hands folded behind his head. Although it was Mid-Autumn Festival, strangely it was not hot at all, and it was completely different from the temperature that should be there on Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Li Dongyuan and I will be on duty tonight, you guys go to sleep first."

Ruan Lanzhu lay down outside Ling Jiushi. According to what Ling Jiushi said before, the lamp should have a sleeping pill. If two people were guarding it, one of them might not fall asleep.

"it is good!"

Ling Jiushi yawned. He was indeed tired. He leaned against Ruan Lanzhu and fell asleep soon after.

The first half of the night was calm and peaceful. Yu Fu did not bring the piglet out. Li Dongyuan could not hold on any longer and fell asleep, leaving Ruan Lan's candlelight platform clear and bright. She closed her eyes and listened carefully to the sounds outside.

The second half of the night was when everyone was fast asleep and it was also the darkest time of the day. Just when Ruan Lanzhu thought that nothing would happen, a strong wind suddenly blew outside, and the doors and windows were rattling.

Ruan Lanzhu was afraid that Ling Jiushi would be awakened, so he quickly reached out to cover his ears, but due to his extraordinary hearing, he still opened his eyes in a daze.

"coming?"

"fine!"

Ruan Lanzhu touched the back of Ling Jiushi's head and pressed him into his arms. He looked out of the blown-open window and saw two lighted rooms on the other side of the corridor.

However, after waiting for a long time, no one got up to close the window. Ruan Lanzhu looked at Li Dongyuan and the other two who were sleeping like dead pigs, and now he could confirm that there was indeed something wrong with the lamp.

Ruan Lanzhu looked out the window quietly. After a while, a pig-faced masked man wrapped in a black robe came up from the stairs next to him, followed by a few little pigs. But judging from his stature, he was not Yu Fushi, so who was this person?

The man in black robe took the piglet and looked at the windows of the two rooms, then continued to walk towards them. Ruan Lanzhu closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

He didn't know how long the man in black robe stood in front of the window, nor did he know when he left. He only opened his eyes and looked out the window when he heard the door opening in the opposite room.

The light in the left room of the two rooms opposite was blown out at some point, and the door was opened by one of the passers-by. The man opened the door from the inside with a dazed look on his face, and walked straight past them towards the stairs, as if he didn't see the man in black robe and the pig. The man in black robe and the pig followed him downstairs.

Ruan Lanzhu then got up from the bed and walked to the window. He stood behind the wall to hide his figure and watched them walk into the yard, then pushed open the door and walked out of the yard.

They had been to the backyard when they went to find the housekeeper just now, but this door is not the backyard, so this person was not taken away to refine human oil lamps. This direction leads to the street, so where is he going?

"Wasn't it Yu Fu who came last night?"

Li Dongyuan rubbed his head. He couldn’t understand why he always fell asleep, while Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi would wake up when they heard the noise. Was it the protagonist’s halo?

Ruan Lanzhu peeled the egg and handed it to Ling Jiushi, adding a spoonful of porridge to his bowl. "Well, they look a bit like the people who offered sacrifices to the river god last night, so this mission and taboo conditions should be related to them."

"That person opened the door and walked out by himself. Judging from the direction he went, he should have gone to the street."

Ling Jiushi pushed the porridge he couldn't finish to Ruan Lanzhu and said, "After dinner, let's go ask Mrs. Yu Fu. After all, we helped her find her son. Maybe she would be willing to reveal some information to us."

"And the door we went out last time is in the backyard. Let's go check it out later!"

Thank you for your love today, Lanjiu, Aihaiwu, Fengsheng, and Yaofeng baby.
