CH 75

In the darkness, the "rustling" sound comes closer and Xiao Lan holds his breath and waits.

A few moments later, the somewhat round and chubby figure of "Grandma" appears.

Xiao Lan was wondering how she could make such footsteps alone, not being a centipede spirit, when she saw a group of small animals following behind her.

On closer inspection, they are all grey Old Xiao rats, which seem to be the source of the rustling noise. The strange thing is that all these rats are quietly following behind, not running around at all, and the picture looks very neat. They even move a bit like people, and a few of them can walk upright, looking like they are leading the way.

The image even has a hint of a kindergarten child out on a field trip.

"Grandma opened the door and waved her hand for the Old Xiao rats to leave, who then quietly left through a side window. She then checked the area and saw that no one was around before she returned to the room and closed the door.

It seemed that this was Grandma's room, and it saved them the trouble of continuing their search when they saw her return to her room, but now she was in her room and could not enter.

One can only look for the next opportunity.

Xiao Lan writes on the small board: go home first, come and see us tomorrow.

The other two nodded back and the three were preparing to return.

At that moment, surprisingly, there were footsteps in the corridor again, this time sounding much less crowded, and the three men looked at each other and returned to the corner where they had been hiding before.

Then two figures appeared around the nearest corner, Gu Jiangke and Hu Yue.

They appear to be unharmed and Gu Jiangke, as an intermediate player, should be able to deal with the dangers of the primary field without difficulty.

Hu Yue looks away when he sees Wang Taidi, but Gu Jiangke smiles at them in greeting.

Gu Jiangke took out a pen and wrote in the air: Are you here to find clues too? How about working together.

Xiao Lan shook his head to indicate that he was not interested, after all, they had finished looking for clues. Then waving to them to make yourselves comfortable, we left first, and the three of them turned to prepare to return to the room.

Gu Jiangke's face looks a little unhappy as he stares at the backs of Xiao Lan's men, a look of growing danger in his eyes.

He has been promoted to intermediate level for a long time now, and is a little famous among intermediate players, and he has usually received a lot of flattery and admiration from junior players, which he has long been used to.

It's true that Gu Jiangke didn't dare to mess with the notorious Wang Ke, but these two intermediate players looked very new to the game, so they must be new to the game, intermediate to say the least, but not much more than beginners, right? I'm sure they don't have as many props as they do, so I don't know how they managed to get past the little girl, but they probably got lucky or relied on Wang Taidi's props.

Two nobodies and a loser, Wang Taidi, dared not give him face.

At this point Hu Yue saw Gu Jiangke's expression and added fuel to the fire, picking up a pen and writing: "Brother Gu, how can they do this to you?

The fire in Gu Jiangke's heart increased, these three guys just don't deserve a fucking lesson.

The three of them were walking ahead when Xiao Lan and Luo suddenly stopped in unison.

Wang Taidi was still a little puzzled when he saw that they had turned to look behind them and that a golden bell was flying towards them in mid-air behind them.

"Wang Taidi's heart went cold when she thought about what had happened to those who had broken the rules before.

He looked behind him and was met with Hu Yue's smug face and Gu Jiangke's gloomy scowl.

Damn, what's wrong with these two! They're jumping up and biting people even though they didn't mess with you.

Xiao Lan stares at the bell, ready to swoop in and catch it in his hands to make sure it makes the least amount of noise. But she is stopped by Wang Taidi, who shakes her head vigorously and says with a muzzle: props.

This bell is a prop that will keep making a sound after touching the player and will not stop until the time is up. After the sound is made, they will definitely face the attack of "grandmother", even if they don't die, they will still be in trouble, this person is deliberately disgusting them.

Xiao Lan frowned and was about to call Luo to come and swallow the thing in a dark shadow, hoping he wouldn't get indigestion from it.

But then a soft, rotten pile of mud suddenly fell from the ceiling and landed right on the bell.

Its course skewed and it was just glued to the ground in plain sight about two metres from Xiao Lan, and then there was no more.

Gu Jiangke & Hu Yue: "......"

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're doing.

At the dumbfounded expressions of Gu Jiangke and Hu Yue, Xiao Lan thought, "Maybe that's what the 20% luck value is for?

The eyes of the three men looked across the room with an unkind look, was it our turn this time?

Wang Taidi took out a screaming chicken-like prop and waved it around, mouthing: this, more power.

Xiao Lan reached for it, weighed it gently and then threw it as hard as he could towards Gu Jiangke and the two men.

The screaming chicken came out of the air like a flying chicken, flying through the air like a yellow lightning bolt and slamming into Gu Jiangke, who was standing in front of him, with a speed that was too fast for anyone to react. It then jumped up and down as if it were alive, screaming at the top of its lungs as it did so.

"Ah..."

"Ahhhhhh-"

"Ah..."

The loud and clear cry of the miserable chicken filled the silent house with presence, and a single chicken created an effect comparable to that of a chicken farm.

Gu Jiangke's face turns green as he tries to get away from the tangled screaming chickens, and Hu Yue comes up to tug.

Gu Jiangke looked angrily in the direction of Xiao Lan's group, but saw that there was no one there.

"Click."

The sound of the door opening was extremely faint over the howling of the screaming chickens, and the pajama-clad "grandmother" stood in the doorway with a grim look on her face, her tone cold and dangerous: "Grandmother said good children need to be quiet ...... "

Hu Yue: "Milk ...... Grandma ...... we don't ......"

Without waiting for him to finish, "Grandma" pulled out a thick stick from the door: "You two are bad boys who don't listen! Bad boys, all of you should be punished!"

Having said that, he ran at great speed towards the people.

Seeing the situation, Gu Jiangke turns and runs.

Hu Yue dithered for a moment, he wasn't being chased by the miserable chicken but had been noticed by his grandmother and chances are he wasn't safe either. In the end it was decided that it was safer to stay close to his golden thigh and grit his teeth and follow too.

Tonight, the whole chalet is full of vibrant chickens.

--

Morning of the third day.

As the players got up and assembled, Xiao Lan found two other players, one missing an arm and the other with one eye wrapped in a thick bandage, which was bloodstained. Their faces were a little ashen and they were in a trance at the moment, obviously in a very bad state.

The lost limb should have been taken from the little girl last night, children are really still vicious.

Such wounds are not repaired by Advent World, you have to find your own recovery props afterwards.

During their brief exchange, Xiao Lan learns that each of them encountered a different colour of doll cape, perhaps hiding a different doll in each room.

On the other side, Gu Jiangke and Hu Yue are still alive, but with thick dark circles under their eyes and their hair in disarray, and a few bruises on Hu Yue's body, they have clearly had a very exciting night.

They saw Xiao Lan and their faces were not good, but they did not intend to come forward to catch up.

Breakfast is still vegetable leaves, but the players don't mind them anymore and they eat in silence with a few heavy emotions.

After the meal, "Grandma" announced with a smile on her face, "Children, Grandma has to leave for a while. We won't assign anyone to help with the chores today, so let's all come together and clean up."

"Even if Grandma is not here, no noise oh, we are a family, you will be good, right?"

Under her gaze, the players nodded stiffly.

Then "Grandma" arranged for each player to be responsible for cleaning and left.

The players were only slightly relieved to see her back disappear into the forest.

"Do we ...... really have to clean separately like she said ...... " the male player with one arm missing snapped with a pale face, Xiao Lan remembered that he seemed to be called Zhang Buqi.

"Or what?" Gu Jiangke asked rhetorically, "You dare not listen?"

"Separate ......" Zhang Buqi shuddered, "I ...... I want to go to my room... ..."

He seems to be very resistant to being left alone, but what good is hiding in the Advent world, the ghosts won't leave you alone.

Hu Yue rolled his eyes, "You can go back if you want to, why say so? No one will stop you here."

Zhang Buqi cowered as he watched the other players, no one came forward to talk him down, including the seemingly nice little curly-haired one, and no one wanted to save a guy who was going to die on his own in the Advent world.

The players left their seats and went to clean up the areas they needed to clean according to their "grandmother's" instructions.

When Zhang Buqi was left alone in the restaurant, he looked for a moment in the direction the players had gone, and for a moment at the position of his room, hesitating and struggling.

Xiao Lan was assigned to the corridor and went to the stairwell to get his tools and then went to his assigned place.

The corridors are not too dirty and it is clear that they are cleaned regularly.

Xiao Lan, who has also worked as a cleaner, cleaned up very quickly, following a standard cleaning routine, and the whole corridor looked brand new. Xiao Lan even stopped by to help trim the dead leaves from the potted plants, so even the toughest inspectors couldn't find fault with him.

Taking the opportunity to clean up, he also double-checked the corridor and still could not find where the key was.

With time to spare after cleaning, Xiao Lan heads over to Wang Taidi's area, intending to check her room in the absence of her 'grandmother'.

As for Luo, all he had to do was shout and he would sense it, and there was no need for Xiao Lan to go looking for him.

At that moment, Xiao Lan heard a distant "bang", as if something had been knocked over, followed by the sound of water dripping.

There is also the faint sound of children's giggles coming from what appears to be the direction of the stairs.

Feeling uncomfortable, Xiao Lan carefully approached the location of the sound.

If he could save someone, he could do so, or if not, he could observe what kind of danger it was. With his current combat power, Xiao Lan still had the capital to take this risk.

--

Zhang Buqi was torn for a long time and finally chose to clean up, like everyone else, because he couldn't imagine the cost of disobedience.

But he was missing an arm, which not only had an impact on his work, but to make matters worse he had no painkillers and the constant pain of his broken arm made it difficult for him to concentrate.

Just as he was cleaning the stairs he heard laughter from behind him and, looking back in horror, he accidentally knocked over the bucket at his feet, which banged and rolled all the way down the stairs like a funeral bell just for him.

"Hee hee ...... caught a bad boy~" a light child's voice sounded in the back of his head.

"Hee hee hee ...... bad boy who doesn't clean up properly ......"

"It's so stupid. ......"

"Punishment ...... Grandma said punish him ......"

Zhang Buqi's face was white, he had just turned his head when there was nothing there. He stiffened and turned his head back, but his vision suddenly turned to darkness.

Feeling the cold touch on his face, Zhang Buqi hesitantly lifted his only remaining hand and slowly touched his cheek.

It was a small, cold hand, too small and thin, with pointed fingertips. Perhaps they were a baby's, or perhaps ...... not human at all.

Those hands covered his eyes with a deadly grip, and he could not tear them off no matter how hard he tried.

Then more small hands grabbed his body and covered his mouth and nose, all of these thin hands of immense strength, pulling him downwards.

Zhang Buqi fought back, not caring if the wound on his broken arm broke again. Unfortunately, his resistance was too weak for the force of these hands, and the sound of bones snapping and snapping continued.

It was clear that there was a solid staircase beneath his feet, but he gradually felt as if he were sinking into an abyss, where it was quiet, nothing was there, and consciousness was drifting away.

Maybe this would be a good place to go ...... so he doesn't have to face these damn games ......

--

When Xiao Lan quickly arrived at the source of the sound, there was no trace of Zhang Buqi on the stairs, only a bloody piece of gauze and a considerable amount of blood on the floor.

It was clear that the person who made the noise was in a foul mood.

Xiao Lan looked carefully at the marks left on the stairs and found a number of sharp scratches, the spacing of the scratches was small and the claws should not be too large, it was just not clear what they were.

Suddenly a small, playful laugh came close to his ear, "Hee hee hee ...... Are you a bad boy who doesn't listen too?"
