Daring! She cheated in the thriller game

As expected, the breath of fluorite instantly took over the position of her magic power, the fuel turned into cold yin energy, and the color of the candlelight also turned into cold blue.

Yu Lan also discovered that after burning fluorite as fuel, its original function of driving away evil spirits remained unchanged, and it could even temporarily cover up her human breath and disguise herself as a ghost.

As she expected, the number of peeping eyes decreased after the lanterns were lit. Yu Lan continued to walk forward without any concern, to the place where the rotten smell was deepest.

The smell of a person's decaying body after death is very unpleasant and even poisonous. Yu Lan's teacher once said that this is miasma. If the person still carries resentment after death, the miasma will become more poisonous. Ordinary people will immediately become immortals if they breathe it in.

However, Yu Lan was not afraid of becoming a fairy, because the fluorite would automatically dispel the poison gas for her. As long as the fluorite was still there, she would not be able to become a fairy.

Erwin moved his fingers, as if he couldn't stand the smell. He raised his cane and was about to cast a spell to dispel the poisonous gas, but Yu Lan held his hand down.

Yu Lan looked at him apologetically: "It's still useful, just bear with it for a while."

The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses blinked, and the cold candlelight reflected in her eyes, making her eyes bright like stars.

Looking at Yu Lan like this, Erwin inexplicably put down his hand and walked beside her obediently.

After a while, he asked again in confusion: "Is the person Miss Yu is looking for here?"

Yu Lan looked at him in surprise: "How is it possible?!"

Although that person is still a ghost, he still maintains human habits and is even more cunning than when he was a human. He would never subject himself to living in such a place.

There were more and more tombstones on the road, and a light mist began to fill the air, but it quickly dissipated after touching the cold candlelight and could not get close to the two people.

After walking for a while, Yulan stopped. Erwin looked around and found that they were surrounded by dense tombstones and slightly raised earth mounds. Under the cover of plants, he could see the white bones that had not yet been buried in the ground.

Yu Lan handed the lantern to Erwin, who took it without knowing why. Then he saw Yu Lan raise her hand, make hand gestures, and recite a spell that he couldn't understand.

Following Yu Lan's order, the dim candlelight instantly grew larger, covering the entire cemetery.

At the same time, countless translucent figures emerged from the tombstones, looking at the two people in the middle with either confusion or vigilance.

"This is..." Alvin looked at more and more undead gathering towards them, and was a little confused about what Yu Lan was trying to do.

Yu Lan kept making seals with her hands, and spells with golden light were cast into the ground as she gestured.

She curved her eyebrows and smiled happily: "Didn't I tell you to shake hands with someone?"

----

The sky was completely gloomy, and there was a muffled thunder in the sky. Gu Yan and Mi Ji ran into the hotel quickly. Just as they stepped into the hotel, raindrops fell from the sky, and soon splashed on the ground.

"It was a close call, we just made it." Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. More people came into the hotel to avoid the rain, so the two of them no longer lingered at the door and quickly walked towards the room where they had agreed to meet with Yu Lan.

"How's the situation over there?" After entering the room, Mi Ji looked at the silent black figure behind Yu Lan for a moment, then turned to look at Yu Lan.

Perhaps it was because of the lighting, Yu Lan's face was a little pale, but she had a happy smile on her face, and it was clear that she was fine.

"There's nothing wrong with me. What about you? Have you found anything?"

Mi Ji nodded and drank a glass of water. "That young master has a garden outside the city. Gu Yan and I went in to investigate and found many experts there."

He paused and added, "Not just people with great martial arts skills, but also magicians, about twenty of them."

"Magicians?" Yu Lan frowned. "Doesn't the king of this country dislike magicians? The Iris family is related to the royal family anyway. How could he have so many magicians?"

"As long as you have enough power, it's not a problem to defy the imperial power." Mi Ji sneered, then changed to a serious expression: "Gu Yan and I have investigated, and it is difficult for us to deal with so many magicians with our strength."

"Is that so..." Yu Lan stroked her chin and thought: "More than twenty magicians..."

She rolled her eyes and looked at Erwin behind her: "Is there anything you can tell me about this?"

Mi Ji and Gu Yan were shocked. No, isn’t this an NPC? They will get beaten if they ask so directly!

Erwin paused and said hesitantly: "This..."

Miki/Tanihiko: Fortunately, we have a good relationship. Erwin doesn’t talk or hit people.

"As I recall, Iris' family is engaged in the mercenary business. Those magicians might have been hired by him."

As he spoke, Erwin pointed at Gu Yan and said, "He is a mercenary like Mr. Gu. The boss behind his guild seems to be the Iris family."

Gu Yan and Mi Ji were dumbfounded. No, you really said that? So you were not hesitating just now, but just thinking about something?

"Can magicians be mercenaries?" Yu Lan opened her eyes wide with some curiosity and gestured with her hands: "I thought mercenaries were those..."

"Kill people without blinking an eye, explode without looking back, and keep a cold face and keep silent all day long?" Gu Yan added what Yu Lan wanted to say expressionlessly: "Yes, I am that kind of person."

"Ahaha." Yu Lan smiled shyly: "Brother, I'm not implying anything to you. I'm just wondering why magicians would become mercenaries. I thought they have strong self-esteem and strange personalities, so they wouldn't be willing to be mercenaries."

Erwin clenched his fist and brought it close to his mouth to clear his throat, hiding his smile: "Some magicians are unwilling to be mercenaries, except for some people with bad intentions or who are short of money."

"After all, as far as I know, Master Iris is very generous."

The implication is that he gave too much.

Yu Lan nodded in understanding: "Oh~ Money makes the world go round."

"Besides that, I also found out some other things." Mi Ji is worthy of being the head of the largest intelligence network in the main city. Although he only had one afternoon, he found out a lot of things.

"This Master Iris is 19 years old this year, the third child in the family, and the most beloved child of the head of the Iris family. Relying on the head of the family's favor, he acts recklessly and does not take his life seriously." At this point, Mi Ji paused and his voice became low: "In the garden outside the city, I found several entrances to the basement. After going in and taking a look, I found that there were many torture instruments and experimental equipment. In addition, there are some petri dishes and some things I can't recognize. I preliminarily judge that those tools are tools used by magicians to make something."

"There is another basement where many people are imprisoned. They all have scars on their bodies. I was afraid of being discovered so I didn't observe them closely."

"The servants in the garden are all ordinary people. In addition to the magicians, the patrollers are some people wearing masks. Gu Yan knocked two of them unconscious and found that those people were... very good-looking corpses."

"A body?" Yu Lan asked, "A patrolman, a body?"

Gu Yan quickly clarified: "It's definitely not that I was too harsh. I used drugs. Those people were originally corpses. But it's strange that they can move independently even though they are corpses, and they still have certain strength."

The corpse can move by itself... It's the same description as the story in the previous unit. Could it be that someone here is also using puppetry?

It seems that things are not that simple.

Listening to Mi Ji's report, Yu Lan kept the smile on her face, but her heart sank little by little.

Gu Yan rolled his eyes and sat down on the other side of Yu Lan: "What should we do now? I don't need to tell you. Mi Ji is still a civilian staff member. You..."

Gu Yan paused, narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Lan's unchanged smile in confusion, and stopped talking: "You don't want to act according to the plan?"

"I don't know." Yu Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled even more. She looked very cute when she smiled, but Gu Yan felt goose bumps all over his body when he saw her.

Yu Lan's smile was eerie, as if a ghost that had just killed someone was smiling at him.

"Let's not worry about that for now." Yu Lan lowered her head slightly, motioning for Gu Yan and the others to eat first: "It's raining too hard tonight, so we can't move forward even if we have a plan. Let's rest first and see what happens tomorrow."

"Okay." After walking for such a day, Gu Yan and Mi Ji were really tired. It was not easy for them to find clues in the huge house without being noticed. They were almost discovered by the patrolling magicians several times, which made them exhausted.

After the two of them finished their meal in silence, they went back to their rooms to rest. Yu Lan didn't know where she got the money from, but she actually booked the largest suite in the hotel. The room had three bedrooms and two living rooms, which was enough for them to rest.

Erwin stood behind Yu Lan, saw her push open the balcony door, and followed her silently.

Since returning from the cemetery, Yu Lan has become less talkative. Although she is still smiling, Erwin sensitively senses that she is not in a good mood.

In fact, Erwin was not very clear about what happened after that. It seemed to involve Yu Lan's trump card. She glanced at Erwin lightly and asked Mei Qimeng to wrap her hair into a cocoon to block his sight and perception. He didn't know what Yu Lan did after that.

Although he had the ability to break Mei Qimeng's shackles, he did not do so. After all, they were of different identities, and it was reasonable for Yu Lan to be on guard against him.

Yu Lan stood outside the balcony, watching the heavy rain outside. After a long while, she slowly sighed, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Erwin was shocked. Did Yu Lan see what he was thinking? He pursed his lips and asked softly, "Do you feel better now?"

Yu Lan shook her head and opened her mouth. After a long while, she asked a question: "Do you still remember the story you told me before?"

"Are you talking about the Elf Forest?" Erwin frowned, not knowing why Yu Lan suddenly brought up this story. "What's wrong?"

"You are an elf." Yu Lan said affirmatively: "Not a pure-blooded elf, but a half-elf, right?"

The eyes under the hood were fixed on Yu Lan. Erwin's aura gradually sank, and he himself did not even notice it.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't mean anything else." Yu Lan sighed softly and sat on a chair by the balcony: "What Li Shixi did before made you and I fall into a dream, didn't it? We were supposed to see our own memories, but something went wrong and we saw each other's memories."

Yu Lan turned to look at Erwin, and when she saw that he had no reaction, she knew that she was right.

After this incident, neither of them mentioned it to the other, because they didn't know which memory the other had seen. Yulan was concerned that Erwin didn't want to mention his half-elf identity, while Erwin was concerned that Yulan's family would be sad if he mentioned it.

After all, human hearts are treacherous and everyone has secrets that they don't want to mention. Besides, they are not at the point where they can open their hearts to each other, so it is best to pretend that nothing has happened.

Erwin looked at Yu Lan in silence. She brought up this topic at this time. Could it be that she saw her previous memories in the Forest of Elves?

He suddenly felt a little afraid of what Yu Lan was about to say next. That period of time was the time he least wanted to recall.

Yu Lan didn't seem to notice Erwin's abnormality, and continued to talk to herself: "I entered your memory and saw the Elf Forest you mentioned... It is indeed very beautiful there."

"I also saw the Elf Mother Tree."

The gentle words caused a wave of shock in Erwin's heart, and the sound of thunder was deafening. The two had different thoughts at the moment.

"In addition to the Elf Mother Tree, I also saw the tiny you." When she said this, the smile on Yu Lan's face became somewhat relaxed, and it was obviously a smile from the heart.

She stretched out her hand and gestured: "You were so small back then... I thought elves looked like adults when they were born, but I didn't expect that there were some that looked like children. Back then, you were still wearing a robe like now, with a big hood covering your face, and you loved to act coquettishly with the Elf Mother Tree."

Originally, this matter was nothing, but after seeing Erwin's handsome face that didn't look like a real person, Yu Lan suddenly became curious about what he looked like when he was a child.

It's certainly cute.

Thinking of this, Yu Lan smiled and narrowed her eyes: "At that time, you were acting coquettishly with the Elf Mother Tree, and I heard the conversation... Sorry, I didn't mean to say it, but it was then that I knew you were an elf, or a half-elf."

Erwin was silent for a long time and then sighed.

Yu Lan said this to dispel his doubts. Also, he thought that Yu Lan was not someone who would discriminate against half-elves, so he should not be hostile to Yu Lan.

Thinking of this, he walked to the chair next to Yu Lan and sat down: "Pure-blooded elves also have a childhood, but at that time, their childhood was spent on the elven mother tree. They were all wrapped in the fruit, and they would come out of the fruit when they grew up."
