Chapter 530 Fatal Game 4
"I'm a little sleepy too," An Ruoyu said, yawning.
"Then go to sleep first," Ling Jiushi said.
The three of them went upstairs. The room closest to the stairwell was the landlady's room. They found the door was not closed, so they stopped.
The proprietress was dancing intently by herself, with classical music playing in the background.
Ling Jiushi frowned: "Everything here seems to be from a different era than ours. It really is another time and space."
Ruan Lanzhu: "Every door leads to something different; there are modern, ancient, and future doors."
"It sounds like it will be very interesting," An Ruoyu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Lanzhu turned to look at her: "Aren't you afraid?"
Of all the new brides he'd met, aside from those with a carefree attitude, very few were as composed as she was on their first marriage.
"Being afraid is useless. It's like you said about sleeping. Does being afraid prevent you from dying?"
Ling Jiushi smiled upon hearing this, and Ruan Lanzhu also curled her lips: "Well, men and women are different. You should be fine with a room to yourself tonight, right?"
“Of course.” An Ruoyu smiled back, her expression calm.
Ling Jiushi said, "You're quite brave. You didn't seem scared when you saw the door gods just now."
An Ruoyu was standing right next to him at the time, and he saw no fear in her eyes.
An Ruoyu sighed and suddenly started acting: "Hey, you guys found out. It's true that I can't find a boyfriend because I'm bold and strong."
The original owner of this body had never had a boyfriend, and she could use that as a reason to make it up.
"Your courage and strength are indeed greater than that of the average man," Ling Jiushi said with a smile, admitting that he himself was inferior.
Ruan Lanzhu: "I guess they feel inferior because of you."
"You have a point."
After An Ruoyu finished speaking, her gaze towards the two of them suddenly took on a gossipy quality, and she changed the subject:
"But, you two grown men sharing a room, did you hit it off?"
"You think too much."
"What are you talking about?"
As they retorted, they almost instantly moved a little further away from each other, as if to avoid suspicion.
"Haha, I was just kidding. Why are you all so nervous? This is the only room I have. Please make yourselves at home."
As An Ruoyu spoke, she pushed open the door to the room next to her, opening and closing the door in one smooth motion.
The door slammed shut, and the two men left behind exchanged a glance before simultaneously looking away.
"Well, I'll go find a room too," Ling Jiushi said, scratching his head.
Ruan Lanzhu nodded: "Yes, I don't like sleeping with other people."
"Me too."
After they finished speaking, they turned around and went in different directions to find their rooms.
An Ruoyu lay on the bed in the room and took out her phone from her pocket to look at it.
Xiao Qi: "Host, weren't you sleepy?"
"I'm not sleepy anymore."
"Be careful, the guy in the well might come looking for you, host."
An Ruoyu: "What are you afraid of? Is this the first time I've seen something like this?"
"Hehe, I know the host isn't afraid, I'm just afraid of disturbing you."
"I'm just feeling a little hungry right now. Why doesn't this instance provide any food?"
As she spoke, she stood up and took out a plate of kebabs and a bottle of beer from her storage space, placing them on the table.
An Ruoyu sat down to eat a late-night snack and then planned to find a TV series to watch.
"Xiao Qi, connect me to the internet."
"Okay, host, I'm hungry too."
"Go get your own food."
"Okay, I'll go right now." Xiao Qi left happily, planning to take her midnight snack to see Hua Hua next door.
In the middle of the night, An Ruoyu was watching a TV series when she heard a faint noise outside the window, but she didn't move or pay attention to it.
Before long, long black hair climbed up the wall and filled the window. The hair moved as nimbly as a hand and slowly pushed open the window.
An Ruoyu turned her head and looked over. Xiao Qi was right; it really was that guy from the well who had climbed in.
She stood up and walked over, a strand of long hair came towards her, which she caught with her outstretched hand, and then several more strands came.
Knowing that this thing was afraid of fire, An Ruoyu snapped her fingers with her other hand, and a wisp of purple flame appeared at her fingertip, burning off the hair in her hand.
After the female ghost NPC cried out due to the high temperature, she immediately retracted her hair and left without stopping.
An Ruoyu closed the window, went into the space to take a shower and wash up, and then went to bed to sleep.

An Ruoyu was awakened by a knock on the door in the morning, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"They're here, wait a minute!"
She slipped into the room to wash up, then came out and opened the door.
"Good morning, want to go downstairs and cook something together?" Ling Jiushi said, standing in front of the door.
Ruan Lanzhu leaned against the other wall, watching the two of them.
Just as An Ruoyu was about to agree, they suddenly heard a scream.
"what--!!!"
"Something's happened, let's go check it out." Ruan Lanzhu straightened up and turned to walk towards the source of the sound.
The two followed him to the door of a room, where the voice was coming from. Ruan Lanzhu pushed open the door.
Once inside, they saw Cheng Wen sitting on the ground, trembling with fear in his eyes.
On the ground in front of him, there was a pool of blood that was still dripping from the ceiling: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, ah!!"
"Let's go upstairs and take a look." After saying that, An Ruoyu turned around and went out, heading towards the stairs leading to the rooftop.
Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi followed behind her. When the three of them went up to the rooftop balcony, they found a person lying by the railing, clutching a wound on their stomach.
A large amount of blood flowed out in front of him, with a lot of blood foam mixed in with the blood on the ground, as if his internal organs had been crushed and flowed out of his body.
Ling Jiushi frowned: "Dead?" He took a closer look, then turned away and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Ruan Lanzhu looked at it and nodded: "Yes, it's already lifeless."
"Did he break some taboo?" An Ruoyu asked.
"It seems so."
Soon, everyone came up one after another.
"What happened? Someone died?"
"It's only the second day and someone's already dead? What kind of place is this? I don't want to play anymore, I'm leaving."
Cheng Wen and Wang Xiaoyi were both scared and wanted to leave.
Xiong Qi shouted, "Do you think you can just leave like this? He must have violated some taboo condition. Everyone, remember to find out the taboo condition in order to save your lives."
"I just don't know what the forbidden conditions are?" Xiao Ke said.
"A person dies by the railing; one should never lean on the railing alone. So that's what it means," Ruan Lanzhu murmured.
"Don't lean on the railing alone, is that a taboo?" An Ruoyu was standing next to him, and her hearing was good enough to hear his words clearly.
Ruan Lanzhu nodded: "I guess so."
"What are you talking about?" Ling Jiushi asked as he calmed down.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Lanzhu did not say it directly, but changed the subject, saying, "I'm hungry, let's get something to eat while we talk."
"Let's go." An Ruoyu agreed, as it would be difficult to talk to people here.
