Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 543 Fatal Game 17



Chapter 543 Fatal Game 17

The scent of strawberries filled the air between them, and Ruan Lanzhu turned her head slightly toward her.

He didn't look directly at her; his lowered eyelashes fluttered slightly, making the beauty mark at the corner of his eye even more noticeable: "Are you sure?"

The problem is that An Ruoyu has excellent night vision; even in complete darkness, she can see the details on his face.

She moved a little distance between them: "Okay, once we find the door, grab the key, and then we'll call Zaozao and leave."

Ruan Lanzhu felt that her plan was simple and straightforward, which was typical of her style.

He tore open the packaging of the candy in his hand and put it in his mouth. The strawberry flavor filled his entire mouth, and he felt that the taste was good.

"Okay, then we'll do it your way."

An Ruoyu swore it wasn't her imagination; she clearly saw the ghosts surrounding them widen their eyes even more after they made their decision.

Xiao Qi: "Host, the main system has replied. You should get the key and leave as soon as possible. The system will handle that power that doesn't belong to this world."

"That's it? No explanation of what it is?"

"Uh, the main system didn't say anything, but it did provide compensation to the host."

After hearing this, An Ruoyu became interested: "Compensation? What is it?"

"That's 100,000 points! Host, we've made a profit. It's like earning points while lying down!"

"I definitely made a profit." She didn't need to solve the problem herself to receive points as compensation; the main system could handle that.

After resting for half an hour, An Ruoyu pulled Ruan Lanzhu and slipped out of the encirclement, then violently broke the chains and opened the door to go inside.

Ruan Lanzhu, who had been wondering how she would barge in and was even prepared to take action: ...

That forced entry was really tough. If they had known they wouldn't need him to unlock the door, they probably would have been in by now.

They closed the door, but the ghost outside didn't come in.

An Ruoyu could see in the dark, but thinking of Ruan Lanzhu, she still took out a lighter for illumination.

The room was small, containing only a broken wooden bed and some miscellaneous items. It didn't even have windows, and it was covered in dust and cobwebs.

She crouched down in front of the bed and raised her hand to lift the bed.

"I'll do it, you step back." Ruan Lanzhu pulled her back and stepped forward to make the move.

"Okay, but be careful, or there will be a lot of dust."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

There was a lot of moldy, withered grass under the bed. Ruan Lanzhu used something to clear away the grass, revealing a heavy iron block on the ground.

"You knew there was a basement down there all along?"

"I was just guessing."

Ruan Lanzhu felt more and more that she was unusual, thinking about how fast she had pulled him along just now.

With important business at hand, he suppressed his thoughts, squatted down, and forcefully moved the iron block aside, revealing the stairs leading to the basement.

A strong aura of malevolence rose from below and rushed towards the two of them.

An Ruoyu reached out to help Ruan Lanzhu up, and at the same time, a transparent spiritual energy enveloped the two of them, isolating them from the harm of that malevolent energy.

"Go downstairs and find the door. Give me the key."

Without even thinking, Ruan Lanzhu disagreed: "No, it's dangerous for you to be alone."

There was no time to explain to him right now, so An Ruoyu simply said, "Trust me."

Her eyes were filled with determination. After looking at her for a while, Ruan Lanzhu thought of some mysterious aspects of her.

Finally, he nodded: "Okay, I'll come help you as soon as I find the door. Be careful not to get hurt."

"Okay, I'll go down first." An Ruoyu handed him the lighter and went down to the basement herself.

The basement was large and dark, and she went straight to the position of the door gods.

It was a female ghost chained up. I don't know why she was still bound even after becoming a ghost. Perhaps someone broke a taboo, which allowed her to leave.

After Ruan Lanzhu came down, he started looking for the door. He had to hurry while An Ruoyu was still safe.

An Ruoyu stood in front of the female ghost. The female ghost slowly raised her head. Surprisingly, her face was not scary, but it was paler than that of an ordinary person.

"Do you have any regrets?"

Upon hearing this, the female ghost sneered, "I know you want the key, but I will never give it to you."

"You may be pitiful, but it wasn't my fault. Everyone in this village is dead. You must have done it. If you won't give me the key, you'll have to take it yourself."

After An Ruoyu finished speaking, she didn't wait for her reply and directly reached out and slapped her.

A red light moved upwards from the female ghost's body, finally appearing from between her eyebrows.

An Ruoyu reached out to take it, and a key appeared in her palm.

Upon seeing this, the female ghost struggled violently, causing the iron chains binding her to rattle loudly: "How did you do that? This is impossible, impossible!"

An ordinary person simply cannot obtain the key from her; she must voluntarily hand it over.

An Ruoyu knew that this was due to the influence of that strange force, otherwise the key would not exist in this way on the female ghost.

"Ruoyu, are you alright? I've found the door." Ruan Lanzhu came over immediately upon hearing the voice.

"It's okay, we have the key. We'll go pick up Zaozao and then head out."

"Okay, let's go."

They quickly left the house, ignoring the angry female ghost struggling in the basement.

Back at her lodgings, Tan Zaozao heard a knock on the door and nervously approached it: "Ruoyu, is that you, Brother Ruan?"

"Zaozao, open the door," An Ruoyu said.

After confirming that they were her own people, Tan Zaozao opened the door: "You're finally back. Go and get some rest."

"No more rest. We've found the door and the key. Let's leave now."

"So fast! You've made such a big haul from your trip!" Tan Zaozao said excitedly.

"Yeah, let's go back and get some midnight snacks, I'm starving."

"Okay, okay, I'm hungry too. Let's go to this godforsaken place."

The three of them went to the basement, followed by other people who had come out after hearing the commotion.

"You found the key and the door so quickly?" He Qiang asked as he came over.

Ruan Lanzhu nodded: "Not being able to go out at night is not a taboo condition, and the key can only be found at night."

"I see, thank you."

Only one newbie, Dan An, died this time; the others felt that they were just happy to be able to complete the game.

When the group arrived at the basement, Tan Zaozao was a little scared when she saw the female ghost. She clung tightly to An Ruoyu, so Ruan Lanzhu had no choice but to take the key to open the door.

Back at Obsidian, An Ruoyu asked, "Should we order takeout or go out to eat later?"

"You're back. It's good that you're all alright." Ling Jiushi had been very worried about the three of them, so she hadn't left the living room and had been guarding the door.

Ruan Lanzhu said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little hungry. I didn't eat anything when I went in."

Ling Jiushi: "Then I'll make you something to eat. Waiting for takeout or going out will take time."

"Anything is fine. I'll go take a shower and change my clothes first." An Ruoyu walked upstairs.

Although only ten minutes had passed outside, she had been in the game for a long time, and the place was not clean, so she still wanted to take a shower and change her clothes.
