"Brother Zhao, are you sure it's here?"

"Are you a fool?" The young man standing next to Brother Zhao sneered: "Brother Zhao is from Huaiyang Town. Besides, this house has been haunted since a long time ago. Fortunately, you are still Brother Zhao's cousin. You even have no idea about this."

The woman who spoke just now lowered her head with an aggrieved look on her face.

A burst of black Yin energy floated into Miao's body, but she didn't notice it and still lowered her head.

The girl who came with him took Zhao Yuan's arm and said sweetly: "Brother Zhao, aren't we here for adventure? I'm very curious about what you told me. Let's go quickly."

Zhao Yuan glanced at several people. He was the leader among them, and it was he who suggested exploring this haunted house.

The five of them all met through a game of Summoning the Pen Fairy. Because they have the same hobbies, they played together several times. Everyone thought they had a good time, so they formed a team to explore haunted places.

Young people always like new and exciting things, but there are some things that they are least likely to like.

--Because it might kill you.

There are five team members.

Three men and two women. Among them, Zhao Yuan is the captain, and Yu Miao, Wen Feifei, Wang Li and Li Qun are the team members.

Their destination this time was a house on the far left side of Huaiyang Town.

The owner of the house has passed away long ago, and the originally gorgeous mansion is abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

Not only that, but someone heard crying in the house in the middle of the night.

The sound was harsh and heartbreaking. It was said that someone stayed in that house overnight. When he came out early the next morning, he went crazy and screamed about ghosts all day long.

No one knows what the truth is, but people in the town dare not approach this house easily.

Thinking of this, a look of surprise flashed in Zhao Yuan's eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

He entered the house this time not only for adventure, but also for the treasure hidden under the dilapidated and abandoned house.

"Li Qun, how far are we from that house?" Zhao Yuan looked at the tall trees around him. The sun was clearly shining brightly, but he felt a chill. He reached into his pocket and touched the yellow paper in his pocket; a Ghost Talisman and felt relieved.

Li Qun held the map, and wisps of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. After looking at it for a while, he said, "Almost there. We'll be there in about a few hundred meters."

Zhao Yuan looked impatient when he heard this. Wang Li observed his words and immediately said: "Brother Zhao, there is a wooden pier ahead. Let's rest for a while before leaving."

Wen Feifei said softly: "Yes, Brother Zhao, the sun is so poisonous that my makeup is almost gone."

Zhao Yuan agreed and took Wen Feifei's little hand and walked forward. The two of them talked flirtatiously while walking, while Wang Li followed Zhao Yuan like a follower.

Li Qun, who was lagging behind, followed Yu Miao and walked slowly.

Looking carefully, the beads of sweat on Li Qun's forehead have not stopped since he looked at the map just now, and there is even a trend of increasing.

Li Qun was so frightened that he opened the map with trembling fingers and his eyes could hardly see the pictures on the map. At this moment, Yu Miao behind him suddenly said: "As you can see, the road is wrong. "

The fluttering words made Li Qun freeze on the spot.

His neck was so stiff that it felt like cement had been poured into it. Li Qun asked with a trembling voice: "What did you say?"

Yu Miao's voice was like a ghost: "I said, the road is wrong."

Li Qun felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet. He wanted to open his mouth to shout, but accidentally met Yu Miao's face. In a daze, he saw a woman.

--The woman is wearing a red gown, her hair is disheveled, and she is slowly raising her head.

Finally, the woman raised her head and revealed her face from her long hair. The woman's face was purple, her face was bloody, her lips were black, she looked like she was poisoned, and her eyes were crazy, like a madman.

The woman reached out and held Li Qun's neck, and said in his ear: "Your meat smells so good..."

Li Qun's expression was horrified. He opened his mouth wide but couldn't make any sound. He could only let the woman bite his shoulder. The woman was not interested in Li Qun's flesh at all. She just took a sip of blood and tasted the blood. The group was thrown away, and Li's group of friends rolled several times on the ground and disappeared.

The woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, glanced at the unconscious Yu Miao, and in the blink of an eye, she was on top of her again.

After Yu Miao woke up, as if she didn't realize anything, she picked up the map on the ground and left quickly to chase Zhao Yuan and the others.

Zhao Yuan and the others were resting in a small forest not far away. Seeing her coming, Wang Li asked her, "Where are Li Qun?"

Yu Miao glanced at him, lowered her head and said, "He said he had an urgent need to urinate. Wait..."

"Okay," Wang Li interrupted Yu Miao rudely, and then said to Zhao Yuan angrily: "I don't think Li Qun will be back for a while. Let's go first. Look at what's going on today. It's going to rain."

Zhao Yuan raised his head and glanced at the sky.

The sky was as dark as heavy ink, the clouds were dark, and it was about to rain heavily.

So Zhao Yuan glanced at Wang Li, and Wang Li immediately understood and said: "Li Qun is too slow, let's go first, I believe he will understand."

Wen Feifei and Yu Miao agreed, and Zhao Yuan pretended to be embarrassed and agreed.

It was still the same as before, Zhao Yuan was holding Wen Feifei, and Wang Li was holding a map and making jokes.

Yu Miao looked at Zhao Yuan's back. There were faint traces of the woman's figure on Yu Miao's body. There was a rare sober look in the woman's eyes. She looked at Zhao Yuan and murmured softly: "It turns out he is a descendant of..."

"Every wrong has its own owner, and every debt has its own owner, that is, the mistakes made by our ancestors, then it is up to you--"

"--To repay..."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of muffled thunder from the sky, as if to warn the woman.

The woman sneered, then disappeared into Miao's body, keeping up with their pace.

The three people walking in front did not realize that the danger was approaching.

After a few people left, a layer of fog arose in the woods. The fog became very thick for a moment and then slowly dissipated, revealing its original appearance--

--There are no woods here at all, but the rumored haunted house.

The "woman" walked in a very stiff manner, and behind her was a dilapidated door.

There are still formation marks left by Taoist priests on the gate, but it is too old and the restraints are not strong enough.

The "woman" felt the power of the formation disappear, her dark purple lips raised, and she suddenly let out a cold smile.

As the formation faded, the ghosts sealed in this house began to wake up from their slumber.

Even the sky outside could sense this heavy yin energy. The sky suddenly darkened, like night, and the door that was originally open slowly closed.

--The evil ghosts that feed on humans are floating around the house, preparing for their carnival moment.

Another quiet time and space.

"Welcome to the escape game."

Gu An looked around. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything at all.

He took a deep breath and calmed down: "Who are you? What's the purpose of bringing me here?"

The cold voice sounded again: "I am the creator of the escape game. You can call me the Lord God."

"I have no purpose."

Gu An raised his head and looked at the place where the sound came from, his eyes like daggers: "Since you have no purpose, please let me out."

"Complete the final level and you can return to the real world."

Gu An almost laughed angrily. He was working well at home, but he just took a nap and ended up here.

This thing who claims to be the Lord God is still here to make a fuss.

However, Gu An felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

At this moment, a voice came from his mind: "It's all my fault, wuwuwuwu..."

Gu An's expression condensed, and he was shocked for a moment. He quickly reacted and asked coldly: "Who are you?"

The Lord God said: "I am the Lord God."

The voice in his mind said: "An'an, I am System 521, don't you remember me? QAQ"

Gu An did not ask again, but turned his attention to the so-called Lord God. He said: "I did not agree to enter the game. This is the behavior of a barbarian."

Lord God: "The game detected that you agreed to enter the escape game, so it sent you an email with two answers. You chose 'yes'."

A cold and emotionless voice floated in this dark space.

Gu An didn't remember this, so he said, "I didn't receive the email."

The Lord God was silent for a moment, and then the space lit up.

Gu An was stung by the sudden light. He reached out to cover his eyes, while 521 in his mind muttered dissatisfiedly: "This light is too dazzling, An'an, do your eyes hurt..."

Gu An ignored the chirping 521 and slowly waited for his eyes to adapt to the light. After almost a minute, when he felt his eyes adapted to the light, he let go and looked around.

The first thing that caught his eye was the strange disk floating in mid-air.

The whole disk is black, but there is a hint of deep gray mixed in the black. The entire disk exudes a dark light, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

Gu An looked at the disk for a few times and then looked around.

Wherever his eyes went, there was pure white.

521 said in his mind: "I also have this space An An, I will show it to you later~"

Gu An ignored 521, looked at it for a while, and found that there was no end to this place, and besides the white color and the black disk in the air, he was the only one.

After the dark light around the disk disappeared, it floated in front of Gu An and said, "I found your email screen recording, you can take a look."

Gu An looked at the large white transparent light screen that suddenly appeared in mid-air and was silent for a moment.

He said: "You are peeping, I can sue you for violating my privacy."

Yuanpan, the Lord God, was stunned for a moment. This was the first time someone had said this to him. After he realized what he was saying, he said coldly: "If you can go back, you can give it a try."

Gu An glanced at Yuanpan coldly and then focused his gaze on the white light screen.

His figure was projected on the white light screen.

At that time, Gu An was sitting in the study room working. The computer originally showed work contents, but as he was working, the computer screen suddenly went dark. When it lit up again, there was suddenly an extra email in his mailbox.

Open the email, the content is a game invitation.

The game was called "Escape Game". Gu An pressed the return button, but the computer did not respond at all and still displayed the content of the email.

Just when he was about to switch to another computer to handle his work, a selection box suddenly popped up on the computer.

"Mr. Gu An, are you willing to enter the escape game?"

"Yes or no?"

Gu An slid his finger down and the arrow pointed to "No".

When Gu An, who was outside the light screen, saw this scene, he raised his eyebrows noncommittally and looked at the disk leisurely, as if to say, look, did I choose it?

Yuanpan didn't speak, just said: "You did click 'Yes'."

Gu An's mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't say anything, just stared at the light screen.

Gu An clicked "No" on the light screen.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Baby, come down for dinner, I made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs."

Gu An responded and moved his finger slightly. At this moment when he was in a daze, the little arrow suddenly changed direction and clicked on "Yes".

After the electric shock was confirmed, the email disappeared along with its contents, and the computer returned to normal.

Gu An looked at the computer that had returned to normal. He was surprised and started working for a moment, without any idea of what he had just done.

Yuanpan paused the moment he clicked "Yes" on the arrow, then looked at Gu An and said, "You clicked this yourself, but no one forced you."

Gu An looked at the light screen and gritted his teeth.

He had no impression of what was going on in the light screen, but the sound that came out of the light screen just now felt inexplicably familiar.

After taking a deep breath, Gu An's eyes were cold and he looked straight at Yuanpan: "I have no impression of the content on the light screen. I'm not sure if you forged the content, so I won't play any escape game. "

Yuanpan seemed to be angry, and said coldly: "You are not qualified to withdraw."

It said nothing more and went straight to the topic.

"Introduction to the escape game, as follows:

In the Escape game: Each time a level is passed, the player will gain different survival points. The survival points can be exchanged for different weapons or according to the player's imagination. Different things require different survival points.

Passing a level: Survival points or money can be awarded based on the perfection of completing the task, and the rewards are random.

The maximum number of survival points awarded is 1,000, and the minimum number is 50. The number of points awarded is controlled by the Lord God. Each player has a bracelet that can be used to exchange supplies or store weapons.

The maximum amount of money is one million, and the minimum amount is one hundred thousand.

The redemption points are as follows:

For example: a bottle of water: 20 survival points, a piece of bread: 25 survival points, a machete: 10 survival points.

The mission rules are as follows:

Main mission: must be completed.

Also: Survival points will be deducted for failure, and the deduction range depends on the difficulty of the task.

When the survival points are negative, you will enter the world of punishment.

Side mission: Depending on the player's willingness, you can accept the side mission: If you cannot complete it, 50 points will be deducted. If you pass it perfectly, you will be rewarded with 500 points.

Also: the risk is too high, please don't try it easily.

Player benefit one: own talent.

After each player enters the game, there will be a lottery, and the Lord God will give the player some special abilities, such as physical strength, agility and other physical skills.

Player benefit two: bracelet.

On the bracelet, you can check survival points, exchange materials, etc.

Player benefit three: If the player passes the final level, he can return to the real world with rewards and have three wish rewards that can be realized."

The disc flashed, and a contract floated in front of Gu An: "Please put your fingerprints on it."

Gu An took the contract and looked at it a few times.

The rules of the escape game are as follows:

Game Rule 1: To enter the escape game, you must sign a contract. After points are deducted in the escape game, you must use your real body to enter the punishment world.

Game Rule 2: After passing the final level set by the Lord God, three wishes can be realized, and another: the wish must be within the scope of the Lord God's ability.

Game rule 3: Killing players of the same type will be punished.

Game Rule 4: The contents of the contract cannot be leaked, and those who leak will be punished.

Game Rule 5: You cannot exit the game midway.

There are only five clauses in this contract.

It was all about the rules of the escape game. Gu An sneered and looked at Yuanpan mockingly.

Whether it's the game introduction just now or this contract, there shouldn't be too many loopholes in it.

But as mentioned in the first clause of this contract, you must use your real body to enter the world of punishment. If you are killed in the world of punishment, will you die in reality?

He asked: "What kind of punishment is mentioned in the contract?"

"This is confidential," Yuanpan said, "Please don't ask irrelevant questions."

"Please press your fingerprints quickly."

Gu An said nothing.

He lowered his eyes, held the contract with his long and white fingers, and asked with a faint and unclear light in his eyes: "What will happen if I don't sign?"

Yuanpan didn't seem to expect that Gu An would ask this question, and was stuck for a moment. After a few seconds, it said coldly: "If you don't sign, you will have to stay here until you die."

Unexpectedly, he didn't expect to get this answer. Gu An's eyes widened, his fingers clenched the contract, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"How cunning." Gu An narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at Yuanpan with a half-smile: "If I don't agree, I can only wait here to die."

"But I don't want to die, so I can only agree -"

Yuanpan didn't deny Gu An's words, but just glowed dimly, waiting for Gu An's answer.

521 said anxiously in Gu An's mind: "An'an, hurry up and sign! Don't worry about not having firewood to keep the green hills!"

Gu An blinked his eyelashes and couldn't help but smile when he heard the words. This little thing can also speak proverbs.

After a few minutes, he said, "I agree."

Yuanpan: "Bite your finger and put your fingerprint on the contract."

Gu An was stunned and looked up at Yuanpan.

It's just a signature, why does it look like selling yourself?

Gu An put his finger to his lips.

The sharp tiger teeth could bite the flesh of the fingertips with just a little force, causing bright red blood drops to form.

He put his index finger on the contract. The moment he put it on, the contract flickered with a dark light. When he took his finger out, a bright red fingerprint was left on the white contract paper.

Yuanpan took back the contract and created a black cardboard box with a hole in it. It said to Gu An: "Please extract your talent."

Gu An stretched out his hand and put it into the box.

He could clearly feel something flowing in the carton, and 521 hurriedly said: "An'an, come on, An'an, come on..."

Gu An: "..."

So noisy.

A few minutes later, Gu An suddenly took his hand out of the box. He held a note tightly in his palm and spread it out.

There were a few words clearly written on the note.

--Flexible and bouncing.

Gu An turned over the back of the note, and the back explained the function of this talent.

Flexible Bounce: It can make the owner's body soft and tough, with a jumping ability comparable to that of a kangaroo.

He held the note, thinking about the kangaroo's jumping power, and slowly exhaled.

Although this talent doesn't look very good, if you use it well...

Gu An was lost in thought, but as soon as 521 saw the words on the note, it started to cry: "My poor An'an, what kind of bad talent do you have! It's not useful at all, wuwuwuwu... ..."

The veins on Gu An's forehead jumped a few times. He took a deep breath and decided to ignore the crying in his head.

Fortunately, 521 still had some awareness, and stopped howling for a while.

Yuanpan said: "Player Gu An, escape number 7963."

"Please select a game world."

Gu An raised his eyes and looked at the black patterned card floating in front of him.

There are six in total, each with a different card.

Gu An stretched out his white fingers and selected the card with a rose pattern on the back.

After he pinched the card, all the other cards disappeared. Gu An lowered his eyes and looked at the pattern of the card. Then he opened the card and saw a large mansion on the front.

--The door of the house is open, as if welcoming players.

The tip of Gu An's nose twitched and he smelled the smell of blood. His eyes were deep and the card disappeared after being read by Gu An.

Yuanpan gave Gu An a bracelet and told him: "The bracelet contains 10 survival points. It is a gift for newbies."

"Player 7963, wish you good luck."

As Yuanpan finished speaking, a rotating black hole appeared under Gu An's feet, instantly devouring his body.

There was a flash of black light, and Gu An disappeared.

The black disk also left, and the space that was originally bright as day suddenly became dark.

On the other side.

After a flash of dark light, Gu An's whole body seemed to be imprisoned by something.

After a while, after he calmed down, he raised his head to look at his surroundings.

Everything is black as far as the eye can see, and weeds are dancing in the wind.

521 cried: "An'an, it's so scary here, wuwuwuwu..."

Then it seemed to see something surprising and shouted: "Ahhh! An'an, why did you turn into a flower?!"

Gu An frowned and said, "What turned into a flower?"

He asked again: "Who are you? Why do you appear in my mind?"

521 was about to explain, but before it could speak, a piercing scream was heard.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

"Help! There's a ghost!!!"

Gu An frowned. He wanted to move but his body couldn't move at all. He asked 521, "Is there any way you can make me move?"

Seeing Gu An like this, 521 was silent for a while, took a few photos, and shared them with Gu An.

Gu An looked at the roses that stood out among the weeds and fell into silence for a long time.

He looked carefully at the surrounding scene and found that the place he was in was a courtyard.

The courtyard looks a bit like ancient times, but the doors and windows have long been corroded by wind and rain, leaving mottled marks that prove how beautiful this place once was.

After a few glances, Gu An frowned.

He saw that not only the courtyard, but also the whole house was filled with black air, and his ears were filled with the roars and words of evil spirits.

"This person looks good, and the taste should not be bad..."

"This woman has thin skin and tender meat, and she must taste good..."

"Ho! I'm finally out. I'm starving to death! I want a full meal now!!"

There are also the frightened sounds of men and women, as well as the sounds of evil spirits gnawing flesh and blood...

Gu An was seriously uncomfortable hearing this.

After a few minutes, Gu An felt his body heat up, and a burst of white light flashed. He opened his eyes and looked at the fingers in front of him, and was extremely surprised.

Gu An's bracelet lit up at this moment, showing a light screen in front of him.

"Background: There is a wealthy Mr. Lin in Huaiyang Town. Mr. Lin has a precious daughter who has been engaged to a son from another prominent family since she was a child.

But when the young master's family was returning to his hometown to visit relatives, they were attacked by vicious bandits, and all the family members were killed. Mr. Lin found a match for his daughter. He was the son of a good friend. When they were about to get married, Miss suddenly disappeared, and the Lin family was wiped out the day after Miss disappeared.

Since then, the Lin family has been haunted. One year, a Taoist priest passing by saw what happened and sealed a woman with a special destiny into the Lin family's well, and the haunting was alleviated."

E/N: I couldn't wait, I started reading this anyway. I wanted to read this on NU as it has decent translations and the synopsis caught my attention. But so far they haven't started translating. So here I am editing MTL and racing to quickly finish this as it only has 53 chapters. I'm also reading this for the first time so the chapter release will be sporadically fast. Tell me, can you tell that this is MTL? Hehehe I'll try my best to provide the best MTL for fellow impatient readers like me.

I repeat, I am not stealing anyone's translation. I didn't even check to see if this short novel has a complete translation somewhere else, so long as it's still being translated on NU and the translator has not even started uploading yet, this is my chance!!!

I'm just doing this to hone my Copy Editorial skills. I want to venture in BL copy editing and proofreading. So I'll start with this for now. Enjoy!!!

In the dilapidated and desolate ghost house, there are evil ghosts floating around everywhere. When Gu An appears, it is like a bright color in the gloomy environment.

But this bright color not only does not make people relax, but also makes people more alert.

The baby-faced young man named Yang Tu is a gamer. The brother Wang he shouted was also a player. Because he was weak, he hugged him from the beginning.

Brother Wang's full name is Wang Nie. He is a player who has lived through two worlds. Compared with Yang Fu and Yang Tu, who rely solely on brute force, he is obviously more capable.

Hearing Yang Tu's shout, Yang Fu immediately ran towards the source of the sound, while Wang Nie looked at Yang Fu's back with a subtle mockery.

What a stupid guy. Apart from having a higher force value, he has no advantage.

If you want to pass the level, in addition to your strength, you must also have a brain, otherwise you will only be worthy of becoming a stepping stone for others.

When Wang Nie arrived slowly, Yang Fu and Yang Tu were already fighting with the man in red.

The man in red had a delicate face and a neat figure, and he was not inferior to the two people at all. Wang Nie looked at the beautiful appearance of the man in red and had some thoughts in his heart.

"Yang Fu Yang Tu, stop!" Wang Nie dragged his fat body and ran over. He was too heavy and swayed when he ran, like a funny roly-poly: "We are all players, don't hurt the harmony!"

Hearing this, Yang Fu and Yang Tu looked at the man in red in front of them. They were amazed by his appearance, but it was because of his outstanding appearance that Yang Tu mistakenly thought he was a ghost.

The fight was stopped by Wang Nie.

Gu An naturally stopped the entanglement. He frowned slightly and focused on the three of them. Facing Wang Nie's obscure look, he glared back and looked back unceremoniously, which made Wang Nie's spine numb.

Wang Nie looked at Gu Yan from a close distance. His eyes were full of obsession, but the glance from Gu An made him restrain himself.

He had a simple and honest face, and introduced himself to Gu An with a smile: "My name is Wang Nie, and I am a veteran player. The big guy is Yang Fu, and the slightly shorter one is Yang Tu. They didn't mean to offend, but some unpleasant things happened before. They are more wary.”

Wang Nie stretched out his hand and wanted to shake hands with Gu An: "The three of us are in the same team. If you join our team, I can ensure that you pass the customs smoothly."

But his eyes were still looking at Gu An, which made Gu An extremely sick.

Therefore, Gu An did not give Wang Nie a good look. He crossed his arms and his eyes were cold and biting: "Don't look at me with your disgusting eyes. If you look at me again, I will gouge 'em out."

The sound was not loud, but it could be heard by three people.

When Yang Fu and Yang Tu heard this, they looked up at Gu An. Gu An had a cold look on his face and a layer of hostility on his face.

The two secretly thought in their hearts that Wang Nie would kick the iron plate this time. However, they just thought about it in their hearts. After all, they still cooperated with Wang Nie on the surface, but they both looked down on some of Wang Nie's practices, so they just pretended not to see or hear, and did not want to get involved in between them.

Wang Nie was not angry when his thoughts were revealed. Instead, he showed a sinister smile and said, "I invite you with good intentions. If you are so ignorant, don't blame me for being rude."

Gu An didn't even give him a look, and walked straight past the three of them. Wang Nie did not stop Gu An, but looked at his back with interest.

What matters now is to find clues and complete the mission. As for people...

Wang Nie smiled maliciously. The game world was ever-changing and dangers could come at any time. He had plenty of ways to achieve his wish.

Gu An didn't know what Wang Nie was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely punish Wang Nie so that he would not dare to have evil thoughts again.

Just as he was about to walk out of the courtyard, Gu An saw a large wave of ghosts floating in the air rushing towards him.

They were coming so fiercely that Gu An even heard their harsh sounds and a strong stench.

He took a few steps back and covered his nose with his hand.

When Wang Nie saw Gu An retreating again, a smile appeared on his face. But before the smile stayed on his face for a few seconds, he was shocked by the large wave of ghosts.

He ignored Gu An, as it was important to save his life. He shouted to Yang Fu and Yang Tu and walked out of the gap in the courtyard, but the swarming ghosts still followed closely behind them.

Gu An ran a few steps, looked at the height of the courtyard wall, moved his toes, and began to prepare to take off.

Talent skills are always with the player, but they can only be used when entering the game world.

When the ghosts were about to enter the courtyard, Gu An tapped his toes, easily jumped over the wall, and landed firmly on the ground outside the courtyard.

Gu An didn't dare to stay longer, so he chose a path and ran over.

At the end of the run, he saw a wooden house.

Although the wooden house is dilapidated, it is still much better than the courtyard. Gu An pushed the door with his hand, and the weather-beaten wooden door was pushed down with just a brush.

Gu An looked at the pushed down wooden door and was stunned for a moment, and then he walked in. There were still spider webs on the walls of the room, but the hall was a little clean, and there were wooden chairs without dust.

When he walked in and took a look, there was nothing but spider silk on the walls. There's not a lot of dust.

Gu An walked a few steps in the hall and looked at other parts of the cabin.

He found that the wooden house was actually quite big. From the outside, the wooden house looked very small, but when he walked in, he saw that there was a yard connected to the back of the wooden house.

There is a well in the yard, but there are some brown mottled marks on the slate beside the well. The manhole cover above the well head is still covered, but there is a big hole in the middle of the manhole cover.

Gu An paused slightly and listened to the water well. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he heard 521 whisper in his mind: "An'an, please don't look at this, okay? I'm a little scared."

Gu An said with a smile in his voice: "Little guy, you are so timid."

521's tone was not strong when it retorted: "I'm not timid," it said: "I'm not afraid An'an, but you are."

"You don't have to worry," Gu An said, leaning closer and staring at the marks on the manhole cover: "I'm not afraid of these things."

521 didn't dare to open it's eyes at all.

But it was also curious, so it secretly opened its eyes and saw the marks on the manhole cover. It screamed in fear, which made Gu An frown.

He said: "If you're afraid, don't watch it."

521 nodded silently.

Gu An looked at the manhole cover for a while, then looked up at the sky and the surrounding scenery.

He discovered a problem. There were no traces of ghosts around or inside the wooden house.

If those ghosts might not have had time to come over yet, he took a careful look at the entire house while jumping over the high wall on the way over.

Everywhere he looked, everything was filled with black gloom.

Therefore, there is no such thing as the ghosts coming over too late.

If it’s not too late, it can only mean——

——There is something wrong with this wooden house.

Gu An speculated whether this wooden house might be related to the missing young lady of the Lin family?

He looked down at the manhole cover. The marks on the manhole cover didn't look like they were left by animals, but rather looked like people...

So he stretched out his hand. The white jade-like hand and the gray manhole cover formed a sharp contrast, making Gu An's skin as smooth as gel.

His fingers overlapped with the traces left on the manhole cover.

However, his fingers were a bit bigger than those on the manhole cover. Gu An thought about the woman who was sealed into the well. Could this mark be left by that woman?

After Gu An thought for a while, he left here. It was getting dark. He had to find a place to rest before it got completely dark.

During the search, Gu An asked 521: "Why did you appear in my mind?"

521 replied: "An'an, I am love system 521, you can call me 521~"

Gu An paused for a moment, love system?

Is that what it meant?

521 began to introduce itself: "The love system is for partners whose love value exceeds 90. It can make the life between partners more enjoyable~"

Gu An poured cold water on it: "But I don't have a partner, I'm still single."

Hearing this, 521 felt a little aggrieved: "An'an originally had a partner, but it's all my fault. I lost An An's partner, wu wu wu..."

Gu An felt his head hurt from its crying. He said, "Stop crying and talk properly."

"Oh," 521 immediately put away its tears and introduced its function to Gu An: "The more affection points you have between bound partners, you can unlock various things in the mall."

Gu An asked: "What is the value of affection?"

521 said: "Kissing, holding hands, hugging, having *beep*, etc., as long as it is an intimate contact between bound partners, it can produce different affection values."

"As for me, as a love system, I can collect affection points on my own."

521 glanced at Gu An and said in a low voice: "An'an, don't worry, if it's a restricted scene, I can't see or hear it!"

So you can safely and boldly produce affection with your partner~

But Gu An said coldly: "I hope you recognize the fact. I don't have a partner, I am single now."

521 felt a little guilty about this issue. After all, it was its mistake that caused Gu An to lose contact with his partner. Fortunately, it bound them at the critical moment. However, due to its mistake, Gu An's memory was partially confused, so he has no impression of some things.

But the most important thing is that Gu An forgot his partner...

521 felt extremely guilty. If it guessed correctly, Gu An's partner should also have come in, but he didn't know where...

"Oh. By the way, An'an," 521 said: "Newbies will be given random gifts and a shopping mall coupon. What do you want, An'an?"

"A weapon that can kill ghosts." Gu An said.

521 said oh, and started looking for it in the mall, but the things in the mall required too much affection, and it couldn't afford it!

After searching for a while, it saw a black knife.

Introduction to the Black Knife: It can kill evil spirits at the top and monsters at the bottom.

This black knife was unknown in the mall. After looking at the price, it was within the affordable range. Then it used its only affection value to buy the black knife.

"An'an, take it!" 521 sent the black knive out of the mall and handed it to Gu An.

Gu An took the black knife, touched it with his fingertips, and made some gestures. He found that it was indeed good, but he didn't know how effective it would be in actual combat.

One person and one system walked and talked at the same time.

Before it got completely dark, they found a place to rest in the cabin.

——It's a bedroom.

Although there are traces of living here, except for the hall, there is nothing in other places and it is empty.

Gu An propped his chin up and sat on a wooden chair. The bright moonlight outside the window fell on his face, making him look like an immortal.

When Zhao Yuan and Wen Feifei came in and saw this scene, they were shocked at first, and then became wary.

The scarlet moonlight became brighter and brighter, clearly illuminating the figure of "Yu Miao".

Perhaps it was because the yin energy in the house was relatively strong. After the woman possessed her, she brought some of her own appearance to the possessed Yu Miao.

The woman lost track of her enemy and could only search around the house.

The scarlet moonlight revealed a strong sense of foreboding. The woman walked for a long time. She heard movement in front of her, turned around and walked towards the source of the sound.

Inside the wall were Wang Nie and three others.

The three of them finally escaped from being chased by the ghosts and hid in a small house. They waited until the ghosts floated away before they came out.

The three of them were talking about something at this time.

Wang Nie said: "Have you discovered anything?"

Yang Fu scratched his scalp and said he found nothing. Then he pushed Yang Tu and motioned for Yang Tu to speak.

Yang Tu curled his lips and said, "I found a well in a yard. It should be the well mentioned in the introduction, but I don't know if the woman is still in it."

"Water well?" Wang Nie squinted his small eyes to cover the light in his eyes: "Let's go take a look now."

"Now?" Yang Tu glanced at the red moon hanging in the sky and felt a little uneasy, so he suggested: "How about we wait until daybreak before going? Let's find a place to rest first, Brother Wang."

Wang Nie said sternly: "Like it or not, It doesn't matter!. What did you say when we cooperated?"

Yang Fu said: "That I have to listen to you, Brother Wang."

"You're so scared!" Wang Nie said: "If we wait until dawn, the clues may have been known to others. Do you still want to clear the level?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Tu could only agree with frustration. Not only that, he also said good things to Wang Nie: "Brother Wang, I misunderstood you. Your Excellency has a lot of ordinary knowledge that I have no knowledge of."

Wang Nie glanced at Yang Tu and saw the unwillingness on his face, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

'Why do you still want to clear the level and daydream?

You are only worthy of being my stepping stone!'

After the three people discussed it, they were ready to go out.

But as soon as he went out, Yang Tu saw a woman standing in front of him with her head lowered.

He asked: "Who are you? Don't block the road."

The woman slowly raised her head, and Yang Tu looked at the woman's movements a little strangely.

The woman's movements were very stiff, like a machine that had not been used for a long time, and every move she made was strange.

Then, the woman raised her head. Yang Tu only saw a flash of red light, and the woman rushed towards him. The woman's nails were curved and sharp, and they cut his arm immediately. The smell of blood immediately emerged.

"Yu Miao's" scarlet eyes stared at Yang Tu's bleeding arm. Yang Tu covered his arm and stepped back. Wang Nie, who was behind, saw that Yang Tu not only refused to go out but also stepped back. He was a little annoyed and said in a bad tone: "Yang Tu, if you don't want to go, just go back and stay. Don't get in the way!"

Yang Tu turned pale and looked back at Wang Nie. Before he could speak, "Yu Miao" took action at an astonishing speed.

Yang Tu had no weapons, so he could only keep retreating. Perhaps it was the potential that was inspired by the moment of life and death. He quickly took a big step back and pushed Wang Nie forward, just in time to meet the hand stretched out by "Yu Miao".

Wang Nie quickly took a weapon from his bracelet, a rusty iron knife.

Then he twisted his fat body to fight "Yu Miao". Although "Yu Miao's" movements were stiff at first, as the woman gradually took control of her body, she became more agile in her movements and had good fighting power.

Wang Nie didn't even fight "Yu Miao" a few times before he was exhausted.

The iron knife in his hand was bought in the mall. It cost him a lot of survival points, and the function of this iron knife was said to be to kill ghosts.

But when the iron knife touched "Yu Miao", it did not play its role. It was even more difficult to use than a kitchen knife because of its special shape.

Wang Nie was panting from exhaustion, while Yang Tu on the side had already run away, and Yang Fu also left with him.

Wang Nie glanced at the ghost in front of him, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to chop.

Although the iron knife could not kill "Yu Miao", it could injure "Yu Miao". Because Wang Nie's blow was very powerful, he cut "Yu Miao" directly on the arm.

The tip of the knife broke through the flesh with such force that the white bones under the flesh could be seen directly.

Although "Yu Miao" could not feel pain, the pain would impair her physical mobility. At the moment "Yu Miao" paused, Wang Nie took the knife and ran away with all his strength.

The woman didn't catch up. She had to use Yin energy to repair her body. Otherwise, if the body died, she wouldn't be able to use it.

Wang Nie ran in the same direction as Yang Tu and Yang Fu, but due to time constraints, Wang Nie did not catch up with the two.

Under the scarlet moonlight, which was as bright as day, the three of them ran wildly on the road, as if they were being chased by a vicious wolf.

Yang Tu and Yang Fu ran to the courtyard in a confused manner.

They walked in carefully, and as soon as they entered, they saw a touch of red in the corner of the courtyard.

The two were startled at first, but then they breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that it didn't seem to be a ghost, but the color of the clothes.

After walking a few steps further, they heard a cold voice: "Who is it? Come out."

Yang Tu and Yang Fu froze, not because they were afraid, but simply because they were frightened.

Then they saw a man in red clothes coming out of the corner.

And he was holding a knife in his hand.

Gu An's eyebrows were cold, and there was a bit of murderous intent in his eyes, which did not match his delicate face.

He looked at Yang Tu and Yang Fu and said, "So it's you."

The silver light reflected by the black knife made the two of them feel scared, and they regretted it a little.

Why did they come in? ! Isn’t it good to be alive?!

But Gu An obviously couldn't hear their thoughts and only said coldly: "What, do you want to fight?"

His tone was full of displeasure.

Time goes back to half an hour ago.

Gu An looked at the rose, and was lost in thought without realizing it. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had turned into a rose again.

He immediately looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no one or ghost.

521 said in surprise: "An'an, why have you turned into a rose again? Could it be that you are a rose demon?"

Gu An said: "No."

He tried to change back to his human form, but found that he couldn't seem to change back.

He told 521 the result, and then he felt like his brain was being bombarded.

521 was crying in Gu An's mind, the sound was unpleasant and harsh, and Gu An frowned when he heard it.

"Stop crying," Gu An interrupted 521's cry and asked, "Can you stop making noise in my head?"

521 whimpered: "Woo, not now."

Gu An was speechless at 521. He had never seen such a crybaby and timid person.

Although 521 is not a human being.

521 whispered: "If An'an doesn't want to hear my voice, you can block me, but blocking me requires affection points, and you don't have it, so you can't block me."

Gu An: "..."

This is really bad news.

Gu An tried several more times, but still didn't change back.

He recalled how he felt the last time he turned into a human. It seemed like his body was getting hot, and then he turned into a human.

Hearing this, 521 looked at its balance and then went to the mall to buy a heater.

If anyone were passing by here at this time, they would definitely be startled by the strange scene in front of them.

Next to a beautiful rose flower, there is a small heater, and this heater is quite special and can be used without plugging in the electricity.

Gu An was silent for a moment and decided to give it a try.

521 happily pressed the switch and the heater started working.

Gu An felt a surge of heat rushing towards him. He closed his eyes and tried to transform back into his human form again. However, because the products produced in the mall were so good, the temperature of the heater was too high, reaching hundreds of degrees, and he almost cooked Gu An.

"521, turn off the heater quickly!" Gu An was covered in sweat, but he still didn't look like he was about to change back to his human form, and the temperature of the heater seemed to be getting higher and higher, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Although roses are not flammable, they will be cooked if the temperature is too high.

521 heard Gu An's voice and hurriedly took a look and found that the temperature of the heater was indeed too high. It hurriedly turned off the heater, but the heater seemed to keep working. It also became anxious: "An'an, the heater is broken, can’t be turned off, what should I do QAQ”

Gu An was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, with veins twitching on his forehead. He twisted his body to get further away from the heater, but his feet were still rooted in the soil and he couldn't move at all.

Seeing that the leaves of the rose were about to be cooked by the high temperature, at the critical moment, Gu An changed back to his human form while 521 cried.

Then he immediately picked up the black knife and slashed the heater into two pieces.

The circuit was cut and the heater was completely useless.

Gu An looked at the heater on the ground and asked 521: "Are all the things in your mall of this quality?"

He almost got roasted after using it. If it was of this quality, he really wouldn't dare to use it.

521 retorted: "Of course not," and then it said in a low voice: "Because this is the cheapest. I am so poor, I can't afford those expensive ones."

Gu An was speechless about 521 to a new level. He glanced at the black knife and asked, "Is this black knife cheap?"

"It's not cheap!" 521 said, "I spent all my money to buy this knife for you! It's different from that cheap heater!!"

Seeing that its tone was so firm and that the black knife was easy to use, Gu An didn't say anything more. Instead, 521 was a little angry.

It spent all its wealth to buy weapons for An'an, but An'an still doubted it?!

Huh, I'm angry!

Stinky An'an, why don't you come and coax me QAQ

"521, thank you." Gu An thanked 521.

Not everyone can spend their money to buy something for another person. Although 521 is not a person, it doesn't seem to be much different from a person.

Hearing this, 521 immediately put aside its trivial dissatisfaction and said in a soft voice: "No need for thanks, As long as you show affection to your partner as soon as possible, it will be the best thank you to me!"

"..." Gu An was silent for a few seconds and said: "521, I have said it many times, I am single and have no lover, how can I generate affection points?"

521 muttered in a low voice: "An'an, if you say that, it's easy to get slapped in the face..."

The sound was so low that Gu An couldn't hear it clearly, so he asked: "What did you say?"

"Nothing, nothing," 521 hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, An'an, did you see anything strange about the well?"

Mentioning the well, Gu An couldn't help but think.

Although he concluded from the marks on the manhole cover that it was made by someone, there was no evidence and he was not sure whether it was true or not.

And why did those bones come to the main house collectively? Why do those ghosts eat the yin energy from the bones?

There is someone in the well, that is certain, but who is the woman sealed in the well...

Gu An lowered his eyes and was deep in thought when he heard a burst of footsteps. In the silent environment, the footsteps were extremely clear.

Gu An had no choice but to come back from his thoughts and go out with the black knife. However, he was still a little unhappy when his thoughts were interrupted, especially when he saw that the two people who came were the two people he had a problem with.

Yang Tu and Yang Fu had no weapons.

If they really had to face Gu An with their bare hands, they would probably not get any favors, not to mention that Gu An still had a knife in his hand.

The sword had no eyes, Yang Tu covered his injured arm, stepped back, and hid behind Yang Fu.

Even though Yang Fu is a big guy, he is not stupid either. He said: "We have no ill intentions, we just went the wrong way. We're leaving now."

After saying that, Yang Fu was about to pull Yang Tu away.

Gu An said calmly: "Stop."

The two of them seemed to have pressed the pause button, not daring to move, and turned around with stiff movements.

Yang Tu smiled: "Is there anything else?"

Even Yang Fu smiled awkwardly.

They followed Wang Nie and heard Wang Nie say something.

Clearing levels is directly related to money. Some players will do whatever it takes to complete the task. In order to complete the task, they will really deny themselves.

Brothers who are affectionate can stab each other in the back when they turn around. What's more, they bully other players just because they are strong.

Fortunately, in the game, the items exchanged by the players' bracelets can only be used by themselves. Otherwise, those players with weak abilities will only be robbed in the game.

There are also people like Wang Nie who rely on their experience to deceive or even intimidate new players. He accepts the good-looking players and use them as stepping stones and uses those players whose looks don't appeal to him as human shields.

Therefore, Yang Tu and Yang Fu were very afraid that Gu An would attack them. After all, they had offended Gu An before.

Just when they thought they were about to be solved, they heard Gu An ask: "Where did you get the injury on your arm?"

When Yang Tu heard this, he immediately said: "This was inflicted by a woman just now. The woman looked a little scary, her eyes seemed a little red, and her movements were very fast. It was not at the speed that a person could reach. And those nails; pointed and long, like a zombie..."

He talked a lot, and after Gu An listened, he asked again: "Can she touch you?"

"Yes," Yang Tu thought about it and said, "Not only can we touch her, but even Brother Wang's ghost-killing knife has no effect. If we hadn't run fast, we would have become that person's prey. "

Gu An's eyebrows moved when he heard this. He twirled his fingers and said, "She eats people?"

Yang Tu didn't say anything. Yang Fu beside him said, "She does, when Yang Tu's arm was scratched and bleeding, the woman looked at his arm like a hungry dog and wanted to eat!"

Gu An recalled Zhao Yuan's words.

He jumped on them crazily and even bit someone...

There are some overlaps with what Yang Tu and Yang Fu said.

——It’s this “woman” who eats people.

Yang Tu looked at Gu An and asked carefully: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No more," Gu An said, "You can go, thanks for the info"

Yang Tu and Yang Fu quickly waved their hands and then walked out.

When he was about to walk out, Yang Tu looked back at Gu An, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Wang Nie is going to the well to look for clues."

Then he told Gu An the location of the well. After hearing this, Gu An put away the black knife and thanked them.

After Yang Tu and Yang Fu left, Gu An returned to the rose bushes. He felt that there must be clues among the roses.

But he looked at such dense and large roses and fell into deep thought. At this moment, the roses suddenly changed their appearance.

Gu An looked at the black yin energy gushing out, and quickly took a few steps back. He watched the rose grow bigger and bigger, and the color of the petals became more and more bright red, and the color was so heavy that it seemed to drip blood.

And those blooming buds gradually closed tightly. As time passed, all those closed rose buds bloomed, revealing the black yin inside.

Gu An looked over carefully and found that the Yin Qi gradually took shape and turned into the shape of the ghost he saw.

There is a ghost in every blooming rose. They may be sleeping and did not notice Gu An's existence.

After a few minutes, the rose gradually returned to its original appearance, and the ghosts were also covered by the rose petals, leaving only traces of faint gloom.

Gu An glanced at the red moon in the sky.

The moonlight is at its peak at this moment. But after the peak, there is a decline.

The red moon was obviously not as dark as before, and the light shining on the ground gradually dimmed.

Gu An lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked 521: "521, what time is it now?"

521 said: "Twelve past ten."

Gu An made an estimate and calculated that the sudden change in the roses just now should have been ten minutes ago, which was twelve o'clock.

"Is there any problem with time?" 521 asked Gu An.

Gu An said: "No problem."

"Then why do you look unhappy? I thought something happened" 521 muttered softly.

Gu An didn't pay attention to 521, but was thinking about something.

After a while, he asked 521: "What time was it when we came in?"

521 replied: "About seven o'clock."

Generally speaking, night is the time for encountering evil spirits. Generally, ghosts come out at night, and the sky at that time is already very dark, making it impossible to see anything.

Therefore, the moonlight is probably due to the heavy Yin energy, and the murderous aura of the ghosts affects the color of the moon. In other words, the ghosts dye the moon red.

The strange thing about roses is at twelve o'clock.

Twelve o'clock at night is the most gloomy time of the day. Roses bloom at this moment and ghosts sleep...

Gu An wondered if these ghosts were not sleeping at all, but were asleep for other reasons.

These ghosts were also people when they were alive, so when will people sleep?

Is it after being tired or sleepy, or after eating and drinking enough.

Gu An felt that he seemed to know something. He looked at the rose bushes. The ghosts were sleeping peacefully, and there was no trace of the crazy appearance they had a few hours ago.

But why would the ghost return to sleep on the roses instead of choosing a shady and comfortable place? There is no other difference between these roses except that they are heavier than ordinary roses and grow larger. So why can these roses withstand the heavy yin energy of ghosts without being eroded and destroyed?

An idea appeared in Gu An's mind.

But he frowned immediately. This was just his guess. Without evidence, he didn't know whether it was true or false.

The night breeze was cool, Gu An gathered his clothes, and asked 521 to put the black knife back into its system space.

Speaking of 521's system space, Gu An was silent again.

Because this system space is really useless. Even 521 sometimes can't get in, and if he wants to get in, he must give a certain amount of affection.

Not much, but you must give it.

But Gu An has no affection value at all, so the system space will naturally not let Gu An enter, and it is also very smart, but how smart is it.

521 tried to sneak Gu An in but was recognized by it. Thus 521 was thrown out, and when 521 went in alone, it couldn't get in.

521 tried to change its appearance, but still couldn't get in. It can only put things in or take them out.

Gu An thought, sure enough, birds of a feather flock together, this statement is indeed true.

Gu An saw that there was no change in the roses, so he left the courtyard.

And after he left, a few minutes later, a black shadow floated over.

The shadow sniffed the smell in the air and knew that Gu An had left. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had been looking for An'an since he smelled him, but Gu An didn't stay still.

Moreover, there were too many smells in the house, which were messy and messy. He needed to find Gu An's smell among the many smells, and then pursue the smell to find Gu An.

His nostrils twitched slightly, smelling Gu An's scent.

Then he turned into a ball of black energy and floated in the direction Gu An left.

On the other side, Gu An walked behind the wooden house and happened to meet Wang Nie.

Wang Nie had scratches on his body and a strong smell. He couldn't tell what it was, but it just smelled bad.

Gu An took a step back without leaving a trace. He frowned, wanting to wait for Wang Nie to enter before he went in.

But Wang Nie stopped and spoke to him: "We meet again. How about it? Do you want to join our team?"

Gu An looked at Wang Nie. He really wanted to beat Wang Nie up and then tell him that I really don't need your help!

But just as he was thinking about it in his heart, Wang Nie took a step towards him: "I'm so powerful, why don't you follow me? Why?!"

Gu An's eyes were stern and he clenched his fingers into fists. If Wang Nie took another step forward, he would punch.

Before he could make a move, Wang Nie seemed to have seen something. He looked panicked and hurriedly ran into the yard.

Gu An also took a look, but he didn't see anything. After retracting his gaze, he also entered the yard.

There was a person lying on the ground not far away.

That person was Yu Miao. When the woman left her body, she naturally returned to her previous appearance and passed out.

Because the place where she fell was right next to the wall, Gu An didn't see her.

At this time, in the well, after the Yin energy left Yu Miao's body, it floated into the well.

Then, there was a sound in the well, and the things inside were trying to come out.

Wang Nie stood by the well and was a little scared when he heard the noise inside. But as soon as he thought of the clues, he immediately lost his fear. He couldn't help but lose his fear. He even wanted to poke his head in to see what was going on inside.

But he didn't do that. He was afraid that something inside would take the opportunity to pull him in. He looked back and saw Gu An.

Gu An was holding a long black knife. The blade was sharp and the refracted silver light made people's hearts tremble.

Wang Nie couldn't help but hold his breath. His palms were moist, confirming his previous thoughts.

The clue can only be his, what if someone wants to compete with him?

There was murderous intent in Wang Nie's little eyes, so he had no choice but to kill him!

He looked at Gu An's exquisite facial features and felt a little pity in his heart, but in the face of interests, the lack of sex was nothing at all.

Just when he was thinking wildly, his ankle suddenly felt cold. He looked down and met a pair of sinister eyes.

——And his ankles were grabbed by a pair of black hands.

He shouted in panic: "Ahhhhh! There's a ghost!!"

Then his whole body was violently pulled back and he was lying on the edge of the well.

But the hand holding Wang Nie's feet did not let go.

As soon as Gu An entered the yard, he saw a woman crawling out of the well.

E/N: I literally thought that An'an's hubby found him and saw that Fatty's murderous intent so he wanted to scare him. Don't know if I'm wrong. Maybe it's probably just that woman.
