Chapter 542 Fatal Game 16
After walking for a short while, An Ruoyu saw Ruan Lanzhu walking into a house. She called out to him but he didn't respond, and something seemed wrong.
An Ruoyu quickened her pace and called out again, "Ruan Lanzhu!"
The two were already very close, and Ruan Lanzhu still hadn't heard anything, so something must be wrong inside. She went straight up and grabbed his arm to stop him from going in.
But Ruan Lanzhu seemed to be under control, and still walked straight inside, pulling the person so hard that they stumbled.
"Ruan Lanzhu, can you hear me?"
She helped him steady so he was facing her, and when she could see his face clearly, An Ruoyu noticed that his eyes were dark and lifeless.
She directly channeled some spiritual energy into him: "Ruan Lanzhu, wake up!"
After a while, Ruan Lanzhu recovered and her eyes regained their focus.
He first looked down at his hand that was being held before asking, "What's wrong with me?"
“You were acting strange just now. It was like you were being controlled by something and kept walking inside. You couldn’t hear me either. I think it’s dangerous in there.”
Ruan Lanzhu frowned slightly upon hearing this. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and it shouldn't be like this, since he wasn't a normal human being.
"Tell me what happened to you just now?" An Ruoyu asked.
"I haven't encountered anything special, I just broke up with you and I'm planning to travel around."
"That's very strange. Did you sense or see anything around here?"
Ruan Lanzhu shook her head: "No, what about you?"
“I feel something is wrong, and there are no door gods here.”
Ruan Lanzhu listened in silence, her brows furrowed in quiet contemplation.
Seeing that he was lost in thought, An Ruoyu reminded him, "Let's leave here first. I've found where the door gods are."
"Okay, let's go to the place you mentioned first."
On the way, the two picked up tree branches and lit a fire to light their way.
As An Ruoyu led the group away, she asked herself, "Xiao Qi, there was something in that room that didn't belong to this world. Go and investigate."
When An Ruoyu arrived, she actually sensed that something was wrong.
Most importantly, when she used her mental power to explore the entire village, she didn't find anything wrong with it.
Her soul was already very powerful; it was impossible for her spiritual power not to see this, which was considered a low-level world.
Therefore, this only proves that the things inside are not things that would appear in this world, nor could they be done by an alternate dimension derived from a game.
Xiao Qi: "Okay, host, I'll go check right away."
The two stopped in front of a house, and An Ruoyu turned around and asked, "Are you ready?"
Even before she went inside, she could sense that the aura inside was not human. The NPCs here seemed to be somewhat different from those inside the door before.
Ruan Lanzhu nodded. Although he couldn't understand his own strange behavior just now, he didn't feel anything about the door gods.
"I'll go first and open the door."
He stepped forward and pushed open the dilapidated wooden door. It was dark inside, and An Ruoyu followed him in.
They held up their torches and shone them around before they could see that it was a large hall covered in dust.
An Ruoyu walked directly towards a door in the corner. This door was small and inconspicuous.
However, the entrance was secured by an iron chain, which was locked with several large padlocks, making it quite jarring.
“Hold this torch for me and make room for me. I’ll unlock it,” Ruan Lanzhu said beside her.
An Ruoyu lowered her hand, which was about to forcefully unlock the door, took his torch, and moved him a little to avoid getting in his way.
"Okay, come on."
He took some wire from who-knows-where and started fiddling with the locks.
There were three locks in total. Ruan Lanzhu was concentrating on opening the second lock when An Ruoyu suddenly grabbed her hand.
He stopped what he was doing and asked, "What's wrong?"
Did you hear anything?
"What's that sound?" Ruan Lanzhu listened carefully upon hearing this: "It sounds like it's coming from inside the door, something is coming over."
"Okay, be careful." As soon as An Ruoyu finished speaking, the door that they had opened when they came in suddenly closed without any wind.
The torch was also flickering in the wind, looking like it would go out any minute.
Ruan Lanzhu sensed danger and grabbed An Ruoyu's hand, trying to lead her outside: "Let's leave here first."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to leave for the time being."
Sure enough, the torch went out completely as soon as she finished speaking, and one dark figure, two dark figures, three dark figures, and more and more dark figures surrounded them.
A dense mass of dark figures approached them, and only when they got closer did they realize that they were all women, and the resentment was emanating from them.
Their faces were ferocious and terrifying; it would be unbearable for someone with a weak constitution.
They might have been so frightened that they screamed and broke a taboo, in which case the women would immediately pounce on them and tear them to pieces.
But they just stood around the two without moving, and seeing that they hadn't scared anyone, they could only stop them from entering the room.
Therefore, this didn't really affect An Ruoyu and Ruan Lanzhu much.
If the enemy doesn't move, we won't move either; they haven't made any rash moves for the time being.
Ruan Lanzhu: "They didn't do anything when we went out at night. It seems that going out at night is not a taboo, but screaming or making a lot of noise is."
An Ruoyu nodded: "Yes, the NPC's advice not to go out at night is probably misleading, and there are no clues to be found during the day."
Seeing these ghosts, combined with what she had seen in the basement from the room she had just been in, she instantly connected the dots and realized what these ghosts had experienced in their lives.
This must be a village steeped in feudal superstition; these girls must have been trafficked or tricked into coming here.
"Are we going in again tonight?" Ruan Lanzhu asked.
"Let me think about it. We can't leave now. Let's rest for a while." She pulled the person down to sit.
He sat down following her lead: "Okay."
Xiao Qi just contacted her, so An Ruoyu wanted to see what it had to say first.
“Host, I have found that there is indeed something unusual here. The NPCs here are all real, not from the original game program.”
"You mean, this isn't the door Tan Zaozao was originally supposed to enter?"
"Yes, and I have already reported the situation to the main system. Let's wait for news from above."
"Okay, I'll get the key first."
An Ruoyu took out two candies from her pocket and gave one to Ruan Lanzhu: "I think the door is inside the room."
Or rather, it's in the basement below the room.
Ruan Lanzhu nodded, agreeing that "if the door god is inside, the key should also be on her, and since no one has broken any taboos, she shouldn't be able to leave at will."
If the door gods hadn't been there to restrain them, they would have already faced off.
An Ruoyu tore open the candy wrapper, put the strawberry-flavored candy in her mouth, and looked up at the ghost staring intently at them.
She leaned closer to Ruan Lanzhu and said, "We'll just barge in later; I want to steal the key."
