Chapter 639 Fatal Game 2 2
She didn't open her eyes until someone came in again and started talking.
Three people entered through the door: the tall and burly Xiong Qi, Ling Jiushi dressed as a straight-lacquered science and engineering guy, and Ruan Lanzhu in a white, tie-dye-style ancient costume.
With that face, his short hair and ancient costume didn't look out of place at all. He was handsome and beautiful, with three-dimensional features and two prominent beauty marks at the corners of his eyes.
When Ruan Lanzhu saw Hu Ji, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, which had been expressionless before.
Hu Ji didn't react much. Ruan Lanzhu looked away and sat down in the seat opposite her.
Next to him was Ling Jiushi, who saw Hu Ji and whispered, "Ruan Baijie, there are other people wearing ancient costumes like you, but yours isn't as pretty as theirs."
"..." Ruan Lanzhu turned her head to look at him, but ignored him.
Hu Ji silently smiled: You have good taste.
After everyone sat down, the farce of a food delivery guy trying to leave and running away being scared back by a long-haired female ghost door god crawling out of a well came over.
Once everyone calmed down, they began to introduce themselves, starting with Xiao Ke.
After everyone had introduced themselves, Hu Ji spoke last: "My name is..."
She looked around and found that everyone was waiting for her to speak, including Ruan Lanzhu, so she guessed that he already knew that the two of them were the same kind of people.
Suddenly seized by a mischievous impulse, she winked at him and said, "My name is Mu Lan, Mu as in admiration, Lan as in turbulent waves, and my second marriage."
Successfully saw Ruan Lanzhu's eyes widen slightly and her lips twitch before she smiled and looked away.
Before anyone else could say anything more, Ruan Lanzhu stood up: "Are there any empty rooms here? I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep."
"You still have the mood to sleep?" Xiao Ke couldn't help but mock him.
"If you don't sleep, you won't die?"
While the two were talking, Hu Ji walked directly towards the stairs on one side.
As I passed by the landlady's room, I heard the sound of someone dancing and turned around. When I saw it was her, the landlady smiled at me in a friendly manner.
Hu Ji smiled and continued walking inside, casually finding a room to lie down and reading a novel on her phone.

In the middle of the night, just as Hu Ji was getting sleepy and put down her phone to go to bed, there was a knock on her door.
"Who is it? Are you crazy to be knocking on the door in the middle of the night?!"
"Open the door, little sister, I need to talk to you about something." It was a strange male voice.
"Sister my foot!" Hu Ji rolled over and ignored him.
There were no other men here besides the person who came to the door, so it was obvious that the person who knocked on the door in the middle of the night had no good intentions.
There was a knock on the doors next door and across the street. Is this person testing the waters? They dare to be lecherous inside; they'll be dead in no time.
Hu Ji initially didn't want to pay attention to him, but he kept knocking.
She was getting impatient and was about to throw the person into the well when she decided to give Xiao Jiu some snacks.
However, before he could make a move, he heard someone coming from outside. It was Ruan Lanzhu's voice. He dismissed the person with a few words.
A moment later, he walked to the door and knocked: "Open the door."
"No, anyone who knocks on a girl's door in the middle of the night is no good."
Ruan Lanzhu paused for a moment: "...You're not human."
He spoke in a low voice, as if he were speaking to himself, but he knew that Hu Ji could definitely hear him.
Hu Ji heard it clearly, rolled her eyes, and still waved to open the door.
He sat up cross-legged, propped his elbows on his thighs, and lazily yawned.
"What are you doing here? What is it that you have to talk about in the middle of the night? It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together like this."
Ruan Lanzhu came in, closed the door, walked to a chair, sat down, and looked at her: "What else could I possibly do to you? How did you even get through the door to get here?"
"That's not necessarily true. After all, I have a slim waist, long legs, and am quite beautiful. As for my hips, do you want to know?"
Hu Ji became interested, thinking he wouldn't ask so soon.
Seeing him nod, she smiled and waved for him to come and sit down.
Without hesitation, Ruan Lanzhu stood up and sat down on the edge of the bed: "Alright, go ahead and say it."
“That’s how I stepped over here,” Hu Ji said, leaning closer to him.
"It's so simple, do you think I'd believe that?" Ruan Lanzhu looked at the person so close to her.
Hu Ji held up a finger and poked him twice in front of him: "Tsk tsk, nobody believes the truth anymore these days?"
He looked good even in just a shirt after taking off his ancient costume; his chest muscles were nice and firm to the touch.
Ruan Lanzhu didn't avoid her actions, which he thought might be due to their similarity.
Seeing the hesitation in his expression, Hu Ji continued, "If you can go out and marry into the family, why do you think others can't?"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Lanzhu hadn't expected this: "You mean, you're the same? No, we're not the same. I can't just cross the threshold."
"Maybe, anyway, I just jumped right over there. Believe it or not, get out, I'm going to sleep." Hu Ji was very sleepy and didn't have the patience to chat with him anymore.
Even if someone is very good-looking, she can't just pounce on them right now; it's more important for her to sleep alone.
Ruan Lanzhu was kicked out of the house. When he looked back, the door slammed shut. He touched his nose and went back to his room.
*
The next morning, everyone discovered a dead body; a bloody corpse lay on the rooftop terrace.
Everyone was curious about how this person died. Experienced people knew that he must have violated a taboo.
However, the taboo conditions this time are baffling.
"Aren't we missing someone? Where's Mu Lan, the one in ancient costume from yesterday?" Xiao Ke asked after looking around.
This name is really... Ruan Lanzhu remained silent.
"With such a commotion, they didn't come out. Could something have happened to them too?" Xiong Qi frowned.
"Why don't we go take a look?" Ling Jiushi suggested, suppressing the urge to vomit at the sight of the corpse.
Ruan Lanzhu was the only one who knew that Hu Ji couldn't possibly be in any danger; she was probably still asleep.
It's not surprising that this person chased himself away yesterday because he wanted to sleep, and is still sleeping now.
However, he didn't say it aloud, but instead agreed with Ling Jiu's words: "Then let's go down first and take a look."
Ling Jiushi nodded, and the others, not wanting to see the corpses on the ground, all went downstairs.
As people passed the second-floor corridor railing, they saw someone sitting alone downstairs eating breakfast.
"Isn't that Mu Lan? She's alright."
Everyone looked down upon hearing this, and sure enough, the person was enjoying their meal immensely.
Orchid looked up at everyone and said, "Good morning, everyone."
"There's such a commotion about someone dying upstairs, aren't you curious? How can you still eat?" Xiao Ke asked.
This time, she wasn't being sarcastic; she was simply curious.
Hu Ji smiled and said, "I'm afraid to go see it because I'm scared. If I see it and can't eat, I won't have the energy to eat today."
The others thought what she said made sense, but Ruan Lanzhu didn't believe her claim that she was afraid.
