Huning Legally 

The Escape 15

“Is that the effect of the thing you got the other day? You can get two clue fragments?” Shen Shuiyan was surprised, not expecting the rules to be so generous as to give two fragments at once.

“No.” Xin Lan shook her head and told Shen Shuiyan what the card had originally done.

“This means that someone has already died now, and you got these two fragments from that person’s body.”

Xin Lan nodded, the person who had been killed actually had two fragments on them, which was also a little surprising to her, she had originally thought that she could only get one.

Earlier she considered whether it was the person killed by the rules that would allow her to use the card or something else, and then she responded that the words written on the card had indicated the extent to which she could use it.

Use it silently during the hunt, and during the hunt the rules would not kill anyone.

Only when it was over and no one had died would the rules do it.

“The real hunt is about to begin, you stay with me and do not go around by yourself.” Xin Lan tucked the clue fragment into her pocket and said as she walked.

Shen Shuiyan nodded as she looked at Xin Lan’s beautiful, stern side face.

Xin Lan knew that something was bound to happen in the dormitory, but she didn’t expect her to come across this situation so quickly.

Xin Lan and Shen Shuiyan met the three people who were at a standstill at the stairway on the first floor.

One versus two, to be precise.

The girl with short hair was tangled up with two people and looked quite distressed.

When they saw Xin Lan and Shen Shuiyan coming up, both groups of people froze.

“Help me!” The short haired girl hastily called for help, grabbing the wrists of the people holding her clothes and pulling her outwards.

The two men holding her became more and more impatient, pulling her in their hands and not letting go, and looking warily at Xin Lan and Shen Shuiyan, afraid that they might join the struggle.

If they decided to save or to help, they would be surrounded by three people and would be in a very difficult position to get the woman in their hands, otherwise they wouldn’t have spent more than ten minutes trying to get the pieces of the clue.

But if the promise of a benefit to let these two people go away is really reluctant, they are caught in a dilemma, so they have to hold on to the person in their hands and not let go.

Shen Shuiyan looked at Xin Lan and asked her to make a decision.

After all she really hadn’t fought anyone in all her life, and if it came to blows later on surely Xin Lan would be the lead.

“You’re in our way.” Xin Lan said indifferently and the three men froze.

“How about we take these two out first, grab what’s on them, and then take this one alone?” Xin Lan inclined her head and spoke to Shen Shuiyan as if in discussion.

“Sounds good.” Shen Shuiyan responded, observing the reactions of the three people in the hallway room.

The faces of all three people did not look too good, but the short-haired girl suddenly spoke up.

“Save me! I’ll give you a clue fragment!” Xin Lan raised an eyebrow and motioned for Shen Shuiyan to step back a little.

According to Xin Lan’s skill, the two girls were not enough for her, but just a few kicks each, and the two fled in a mess.

“Just let them go?” Shen Shuiyan looked at the backs of those two who left in a panic and was somewhat puzzled.

This was not in line with Xin Lan’s nature, ah.

Though killing people was something Shen Shuiyan couldn’t do, this was in front of life and death, and robbing things was nothing to be soft about.

“I like to deal with things together, they can hide today but not tomorrow.”

In terms of fighting power, the girls’ are indeed not as strong as the boys.

The boys were harder to fight and there was always a sense of bloody-mindedness in them.

The short-haired girl fumbled for her broken glasses and put them on her eyes.

“Thank you.”

“Where are the pieces?” Xin Lan cut the crap and got straight to the point.

“I can give you guys all of mine, can I join you as a team?” The short-haired girl’s glasses were half broken and she looked a bit funny, but her expression was very calm while her body kept a safe distance from Xin Lan.

“It seems you have more than one clue fragment on you, where is your original team?” Shen Shuiyan asked.

“It was those two just now, one originally tried to grab mine, but I got hers in turn and she joined forces with the other one.” The short-haired girl shrugged her shoulders, her face had a few scratches, supposedly from the struggle she had just been in.

Shen Shuiyan was silent for a moment, still looking at Xin Lan.

If Xin Lan wanted to, Xin Lan could have gotten all the pieces of the girl’s body at virtually no cost, but again, if Xin Lan wanted to, she could have saved that one life.

Xin Lan wasn’t so heartless that she had to kill every single person.

“Join our team, no problem of course, but I don’t like people who make small moves.” Xin Lan gently patted the dust on herself, and the girl nodded her head in a hurry.

“My name is Xu Deng and I’m in class five.”

“Xin Lan,” Shen Shuiyan pointed to Xin Lan and then to herself, “Shen Shuiyan.”

“So you’re Shen Shuiyan.” Xu Deng drifted off, she was also someone who had heard grade gossip, and faced with these two magical combinations, she couldn’t help but feel a little peculiar in her heart.

“You know me?”

“First in your year, I’ve heard a lot about you. But let’s not talk about it here, it’s a bit dangerous, what if someone else runs out later, do you two live in the same dorm?” Xu Deng looked at the corridor with some unease, touching the cobwebbed and shattered lenses of her glasses on her right side in a helpless manner.

“Hmm.” Shen Shuiyan nodded, the two of them not only lived in the same dormitory, but they also slept in the same bed.

“Let’s go to your dormitory first then, keep the door locked for safety.”

“Is it a rough night?” Xin Lan asked, it was true that people did not have much patience, especially when it came to life and death, it was only the third night and people had already died, there was no knowing how many and there must be even more things like explicit robbery.

These are just students at school.

“Well, since the bell rang, some people started doing it as if they were mad, and of course the people who were robbed wanted to get it back, and some of them ganged up, and …… there were boys?”

“What do you mean?” Shen Shuiyan’s face turned a few shades harder.

“Someone brought boys to the girls’ dormitory as helpers, I don’t know what happened afterwards, anyway the scene was chaotic, just now the first floor was still very noisy.” Xu Deng’s expression was also hard to read, one could not think deeply about such things, the more one thought about it the more horrible it became.

“My dormitory is on the fourth floor, go up.” Xin Lan stepped on the stairs, and the two followed behind her.

The third floor was very noisy, and the fourth floor wasn’t much better.

A sound of crying and cursing came from upstairs and Xin Lan saw something cross in front of her eyes and crash to the ground with a loud ‘thud’.

Someone had jumped off the building.

Xu Deng’s face went white and she looked up towards the stairs.

It is only the third day and the rules do not give a time limit.

Could it be that by the end of it, everyone had gone mad.

Could she really get out of here alive?

Xin Lan walked to the door of her dormitory, and the few dormitories she passed along the way were either closed or open, with no one inside.

Xin Lan knocked twice on the door and then suddenly smelled a fragrance.

Xin Lan withdrew her hand from knocking on the door and walked to the next dormitory.

Shen Shuiyan and Xu Deng did not know what she was going to do, but still followed her.

Seeing the dormitory next door, Xu Deng covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming.

The floor was covered in blood, and there were three people lying in a pool of blood, with two girls hugging each other.

One of the girls heard the footsteps and looked up alertly, the knife in her hand still dripping blood, thinking that the few people dying on the floor were her work.

She swayed to her feet and blocked the people behind her.

“Do you want to rob us of the pieces too?” Her voice was tinged with something low and she waved the knife in her hand.

Xin Lan snorted a laugh and turned to walk away.

She continued knocking on the dormitory door and spoke to open it.

Xiaochun pulled open a gap and opened the door after seeing Xin Lan.

“Are you the only one?”

“They’ve gone off somewhere.” Xiaochun nodded and locked the door.

“You can sleep in our dorm tonight.” Xin Lan said to Xu Deng, who nodded.

Xin Lan smelt a faint smell of blood in the air, glanced at Xiaochun, took off the duvet she was wearing, spread her hair out and tied it in a low ponytail.

Shen Shuiyan also smelled a faint odor and thought it was the smell of the dormitory next door wafting in along with the action of just opening the door, so she didn’t think much of it.

“You sleep in this bed.” Xin Lan nodded at Xu Deng to Zhou Ming Fang’s bed.

“You’re still sleeping with me.”

“Good.” Shen Shuiyan smiled and nodded her head.

Xin Lan went to the balcony to use the drying rod to collect the clothes she had hung out to dry earlier when she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She went there and found it was a bracelet that was about to fall off.

Xin Lan: Unity, help me scan this dorm for anything that shouldn’t be there.

Zero Nine: What shouldn’t be there?

Zero Nine was a bit confused, not knowing what was meant by something that shouldn’t be there, but he still followed Xin Lan’s instructions and scanned the dormitory.

There were indeed quite a lot of small things cluttering this dormitory, but what Zero Nine noticed was one of the very large shadows and gulped.

Zero Nine: Host, in the locker opposite your bunk, there seems to be something of a very large area, and my analysis here suggests that it is meat.

Without surprise, Xin Lan took the clothes off the shelf and placed them on the table.

“Do you have to shower today?”

Xin Lan shook her head, the situation was uncertain and it was winter, not every day had to mean a bath.

Shen Shuiyan smiled as she smoothly took the clothes from her hands, placed them on her lap and began to fold them.

Xin Lan froze and let her go.

After entering the punishment game together, the two became a little closer.

If the first time she ran into a ghost was because she felt that Shen Shuiyan had to come along on her own, then the second time was when she implicated Shen Shuiyan.

But instead of complaining or being angry, she pushed her away from the dangerous edge at that time.

Xin Lan liked this kind of teammate and the care she received from them.

Looking at the girl who had folded her clothes neatly, Xin Lan thought that this person was really quite nice.
