-Ink Ran Extra Story·Chapter 1-

"Do you want to live?"

At the moment of self-knowledge, a pleasant female voice sounded in Lin Yiran's ear.

She thought for three seconds and replied, "I don't want to."

As a businessman, she knows that if you want to get something, you have to give something first.

Moreover, she had been a puppet for more than ten years, and she finally got out of control, and she didn't want to fall into the trap of others and become a pawn.

"interesting."

Lin Yiran frowned, and was about to say something when he heard the voice from before.

"You don't want to live, but I want you to live."

Before Lin Yiran had time to react, he felt his body sink, as if being dragged by something.

With a flash of vision, she came to a strange and strange place.

The place was kind of dark, and there was a lake a meter away from her.There was fog on the water, so she couldn't see what was going on in the distance.

But the air was filled with the smell of rotten things, and all kinds of wailing sounds, human screams, and beast roars were mixed together from time to time, which made people frightened.

Lin Yiran looked at her hands, they were not as transparent as ghosts, and she could even see her legs when she lowered her head.

She didn't understand what was going on, but it should be the method of the woman just now.

Want her alive?

Then she is not.

With cold eyes, Lin Yiran took a step forward and jumped into the river.

She didn't move her hands, letting her body sink slowly.

She remembered her life as a puppet, so to speak.

She has already forgotten how she discovered this secret. She only knows that as long as she acts or behaves that does not conform to the human design, she will be replaced by another self.

She tried to do extraordinary things many times, but what greeted her was a lifeless space confinement.

It was a closed, pure white space with no entertainment and no concept of time.She was alone, so lonely that it would drive people crazy.And the time of confinement is longer each time, from the first few minutes to the next few days.

Until she thought of a way.She pretended to resign herself to her fate, and lived sincerely for several years.

Then when the confinement of her body was loosened, she decisively chose to commit suicide.

As it turned out, she was right.

Her death was painless, and she was not discovered in the first place. When she was discovered, she was already dead.

Lin Yiran opened his eyes, watching the water getting farther and farther away, his body getting heavier and heavier, but his mind became clearer and clearer.

"What a restless toy."

The previous voice rang in my ears.

A touch of red appeared in Lin Yiran's vision.A woman with gorgeous facial features appeared, suspended in the air as if unaffected, and did not fall like her.

finally come.

Lin Yiran closed his eyes and turned his head quickly.

In the next second, the woman moved to Lin Yiran who was falling, and grabbed Lin Yiran.

But in the next second, her wrist was grabbed.

The woman raised her eyebrows and looked down at the man in her arms with her phoenix eyes.But before he could see clearly, he felt a pain in his chest, and subconsciously let go of his hand.

Seeing this, Lin Yiran quickly counterattacked, swinging his hands in the water, circled behind the woman in red, and kicked the back of the opponent's neck with his legs bent.

The woman in red reacted, and teleported to one meter away in an instant, looking at Lin Yiran expressionlessly.

Lin Yiran was not surprised when the other party appeared in the same way just now, and swam over to attack again.But after staying in the water for a long time, she was already a little deprived of oxygen, and her movements slowed down.

The woman in red was also polite, and teleported to her side as if to repay her kick just now.

Lin Yiran reacted, but still took a step too late. He was hit hard in the abdomen, and his whole body moved a certain distance in the water.

"Hmm." She didn't have time to suffer from the pain, so she quickly adjusted her breathing to stabilize her body, and then went upstream.

This woman is not an ordinary person, she can still breathe normally in the water, and even has "spells" such as teleportation, she is really at a disadvantage when fighting.

The woman in red didn't stop her, and disappeared into the water with a sway.

Lin Ran spat out a few mouthfuls of water as soon as he climbed ashore, and then stared into the water vigilantly.

However, there was no movement in the water, and the water surface was so calm that there were no ripples at all.

She glanced around, but did not see the figure of the woman in red.

Did the other party give up?

Or was there some accident that didn't come out?

Lin Yiran frowned, comforting herself in her heart.The woman will teleport, and she can teleport away if there is an accident.

But what if it doesn't work?

And just now the other party just wanted to save her. On the contrary, she treated the other party as if she had fallen into a conversation with the man who manipulated her and fought back. It can be regarded as revenge.

Lin Yiran paused, got up on his knees, took a deep breath, and jumped into the water again.

Until she couldn't hold her breath anymore, she didn't find the woman in red just now, nor could she see the bottom of the sea, so she had to swim back first.

But as soon as she landed, she found a group of people wearing robes on the shore, as if they had run out from the crew of a costume drama. Some of them were dragging iron chains in their hands, and some were holding tridents.

Before she could make a sound, the man in the lead waved his hand, and the people behind stepped forward.

Lin Yiran subconsciously assumed a defensive posture.

But looking at the dozens of people on the opposite side, she silently lowered her fist and let those people tie her hands.

A hero doesn't suffer from the immediate loss, she endures it.

She was placed in the middle of the crowd and followed the leader along the river, then crossed a bridge and saw a city wall several meters high.There is a wooden door two or three meters wide under the wall, and there is a plaque on it.

Although it was in traditional Chinese, Lin Yiran still recognized the words on the plaque.

—— West City

After walking in, Lin Yiran saw many people, or ghosts.It's just that she is dead now, and she doesn't have much fear.

Those people seemed to be used to it, and they didn't show any curiosity about her detention, and even looked at them with awe.

Lin Yiran was taken to a place called "City Lord's Mansion", and saw the woman in red again.

Completely different from the previous image, the woman in red is reclining on a chair carved by Baoyu, and beside her are several little girls who look like ancient maids, beating legs, pinching arms, and even feeding grapes.I don't know what she said, those little girls were amused and laughed.

Lin Yiran: "..."

She didn't understand what the woman in red wanted to do, but with her inhuman strength, trying to kill her would be like trampling an ant to death.

Thinking of this, she stopped thinking about the other party's purpose, looked around, walked to a place with blankets, sat cross-legged on the carpet, with her back straight, and began to think about what to do next.

The woman in red didn't expect her to be so calm, she reached out to take the grapes handed over by the girl next to her, aimed at Lin Yiran's direction, and flicked it.

Lin Yiran looked at the grapes rolling to his hand, and looked up at the woman in red.

"From today on, you will be called Mo Ran."

Lin Yiran corrected, "My name is Lin Yiran."

"Zhuqing, take Moran to change clothes, and then tell her what to do."

"Okay, Lord City Master." The woman in black who brought people in earlier responded, and then motioned for Lin Yiran to follow.

Lin Yiran also gave up on correcting her address, and left with Zhuqing.

She also figured it out, it's not her style to just die like this, at least she must learn a lesson from the "mysterious man" who secretly manipulated her before she dies.

After thinking it over, she took the initiative to ask, "What is this place?"

"Hell."

"The underworld consists of four regions, and this is the west city. Here, the city lord of the four cities is the largest."

……

Zhuqing explained a lot to her along the way.

This is different from the underworld that Lin Yiran knows.But yes, this is the underworld, and the underworld in the book is just their guesses and conjectures.

Changing into a black robe similar to Zhuqing, Lin Yiran took office.

"Our West City is the poorest and worst among the four cities." Zhu Qing took her to a place similar to a study, and put down a few account books in front of her as he said, "After the previous butler was reincarnated, this one The place has been empty for nearly a hundred years. Although I don’t know why the Lord City Lord chose you, I believe in the City Lord.”

Lin Yiran ignored the other party's excited appearance as soon as he mentioned the city lord, and opened the booklet in front of him.It was found that this was the account book of the underworld, and the income was getting worse every year, but the expenditure was getting more and more year after year.

But after understanding the purpose of the woman in red looking for her, she felt relieved.

Zhuqing said again: "The Lord City Lord has ordered you to tell us to do it if you have anything to do, Lord Mo Ran."

Lin Yiran closed the account book, "I want to see if there are any books related to the underworld."

"Yes, Mr. Mo Ran, please wait a moment, and the subordinates will go get it now."

Watching Zhuqing leave, Lin Yiran began to think about the next thing.

If that person wants something from her, can she also make a request?

With that in mind, when Zhuqing came back, she asked.

"Do you know spells? Is there any way to practice?"

"This... the subordinates have to ask the Lord City Lord first."

Lin Yiran understood, but she was not in a hurry, but waved her hand, "Don't tell her for now, let's talk about it later."

After she has proved her worth, she will have more initiative in raising conditions.

Lin Yiran looked at the brush beside him and fell silent.Although she has learned some calligraphy, but she is used to using fountain pens, and she can't help but feel disgusted with writing in brushes.

And it's the 21st century now, and the underworld still looks like an ancient one. It seems that the age difference is quite behind.

She picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote down her new name.

——Ink dyeing.

Because ghosts don't need to rest, Mo Ran spent a day reading the ledger, and got a general understanding of the daily income and various expenses of the underworld.

The underworld uses ghost coins, and the majority of income is the fee paid by each ghost to enter and exit the underworld, and the rest is some scattered parts.

As for the expenses... most of them are recorded in the account of the city lord.

Mo Ran recalled the extravagant scene before, and probably knew it in his heart.

"Squeak-"

Mo Ran walked out the door, but Zhu Qing was waiting beside her, and paused.

"Master Mo Ran."

Mo Ran nodded, "Take me to look around."

Xicheng is not small, especially Mo Ran wanted to know more about it, so he spent several days here.

Almost as soon as she left the city lord's mansion, the woman in red noticed it, called a entourage in, and asked, "Where is Mo Ran?"

"Master Moran went to inspect with Master Zhuqing, saying that he wanted to know about our West City."

The woman in red didn't expect Mo Ran to enter the role so quickly, but she didn't feel relieved, she just said: "When she comes back, bring her here."

On the other hand, Mo Ran had a general understanding of the West City after he had followed Zhuqing around the West City.

Here is like the ancient times of poverty and backwardness.

Although there is no need to eat and drink, there are still restaurants and inns, but there are only a few ghosts who can afford it.

In addition to these ordinary aspects, Xicheng can also forge weapons.

After shopping, Moran asked again: "Is there anything here that only you have, but not in the other three cities?"

Zhuqing thought for a few seconds, then slowly shook her head, "The other three cities are much richer than us, almost what we have, they have."

It sounds difficult to develop, but it also means that the upper limit of her request has also increased.

Mo Ran's small calculations in his mind were crackling, and he immediately went back to the City Lord's Mansion, and then closed the door, pulling Zhu Qing to start writing the development plan for the West City.

So, after receiving the order from the city lord, after waiting for several days, the subordinates who came over as soon as they heard the news saw the closed door with a piece of paper stuck on it.

——Retreat, don’t disturb.

She took a look, tore it off, and brought it back to the city lord.

Lord City Lord: "..."

You didn't want to die before, why are you so active now?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. She rarely became interested, and ordered: "Bring her to me after she finishes her retreat."

However, three days later, Mo Ran finished writing the plan, and quickly dragged Zhu Qing out again.

The woman in red smiled when she heard the news, and her beautiful smile made all the little maids beside her blush.

"Where did this go?"

"Go, went to the West Prison.",

Xilao is a place where fierce ghosts and lonely ghosts are imprisoned.

The woman in red was rather curious. She waved her hands away from the waiters around her, pulled her clothes, and disappeared without a trace.
