Daring! She cheated in the thriller game
Chapter 243 There is a ghost among us
Gu Yan turned his head to look at the sign next to him and found that it was filled with messages from visitors.
But the messages were weird.
For example, "Thank you, young master, for saving my life" and "Don't come here, you noobs. The Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts is not a place for humans to go."
A slightly more serious approach is to look for teammates on the message board, such as "Three people missing one, contact information xxxxx".
......Gu Yan choked for a moment and thought of it as looking for teammates.
"Why do I feel that these two message boards are... weird?" Gu Yan said resentfully, glancing at Yu Lan beside him.
"Really?" Yu Lan looked at the messages on the message board happily. The dates on them ended at a certain month, and it was estimated that the mountain would not be open to the public after that.
"But according to the messages, this mountain is actually a training ground for disciples. There are two places mentioned above, the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts and the Dojo. Which one should we go to?" Mi Ji analyzed: "The Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts, as the name suggests, doesn't seem to be a good place. The message board also says it's dangerous. The other side is the Dojo. I don't think there should be any danger there."
But based on their experience of passing dungeons, both paths are definitely dangerous to a certain extent, and the dojo may be even more terrifying than the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
"Let's go inside the house and take a look." Gu Yan said, "Maybe we can find some clues inside."
A few people pushed open the door and entered a small courtyard full of lush green plants, which looked very elegant.
After passing through the small courtyard, you will come to a reception room with a curtained door next to it, which seems to lead you to the second floor.
There was nothing special in the living room, just a few tables and chairs. Mi Ji knocked on one of the carved chairs and said with admiration: "This chair looks expensive. The workmanship on it alone is amazing."
"You like this?" Yu Lan glanced at it and said with some disdain: "Although it is made of rosewood, don't you think the carvings on the chair are uncomfortable? It's not comfortable to sit on."
Mi Ji was silent. This set of furniture was in the style of Cantonese, with elaborate carvings as the main feature. The uneven patterns were a great test of the workmanship. Each piece of furniture was carved from a whole piece of wood, with no traces of splicing. The overall look was very beautiful, but it was indeed not very comfortable to sit on.
"Some things can't be judged solely by their function." Mi Ji said resentfully.
"But you can't deny that it's uncomfortable to sit on." After all, these chairs are put out for show. There are a set of rules when meeting guests. Naturally, you can't sit comfortably on the chair, but that would be very annoying, and Yu Lan doesn't like it.
Mi Ji shrugged. There was nothing to see in the front hall, so they opened the curtain and went to the back hall.
There was a long counter on the left side of the back hall, a ladder to the second floor next to it, and a back door in front of it. There was nothing else. Gu Yan walked to the counter and took a look. Behind the counter was a tall cabinet with intricate patterns carved on the door.
When he looked up, he found that it was a picture of purgatory! Ghosts of various shapes were performing various actions in purgatory. Normal purgatory pictures would have bull-headed and horse-faced demons or ghost officials, but the purgatory picture on the cabinet in front of him did not have any. The ghosts were dancing wildly in purgatory, and the meaning behind it made Gu Yan feel a chill in his back.
Gu Yan was frightened by the ghost on the wood carving and couldn't help but take a step back. Yu Lan looked at him strangely: "Are you scared?"
"Who, who is afraid!" Gu Yan said stubbornly. Yu Lan smiled mysteriously, pointed at the counter and said faintly: "If you are not afraid, take another look."
"Just look." Gu Yan muttered, turned his head to look at the counter, only to find that a pale-faced woman appeared behind the counter at some point. Mi Ji also didn't notice when this woman appeared, and both of them were startled.
The pale woman turned her head stiffly and looked at Gu Yan with a strange smile on her face. Her bright red lips made her face look as pale as paper.
This is obviously not a human.
The woman did not make any attacking moves. She carefully looked at the three people in front of her, and raised a bigger smile on her lips: "Where are you three going?"
“Turn left to hell, there is no turning back… hehehe.”
The ethereal voice echoed in the house. Yu Zian, who was in Yu Lan's arms, sniffed and whispered something in Yu Lan's ear in confusion.
Yu Lan nodded as a reply. She ignored Gu Yan's vigilant gaze and walked forward: "I'm going to the Wangui Forest, and the two of them are going to the dojo."
"Xiao Yu!" Gu Yan quickly grabbed Yu Lan and said, "Why did you go to the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts? And that woman..."
"Don't worry, didn't you see the message board outside? This house should be fine." Yu Lan licked her lips and blinked, "You guys go to the dojo first, I'll go to Wangui Forest to have a meal."
"What?" Gu Yan and Mi Ji were stunned. Is there anything to eat in Wangui Forest? No, even if it's for a meal, we shouldn't go to Wangui Forest.
"No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll go with you." Gu Yan said firmly, not allowing Yu Lan to act alone.
Mi Ji thought of something. Yu Lan seemed to say that she came here to meet someone, so he said cryptically: "If it's not convenient for you, we can wait for you here."
"It's okay." Yu Lan scratched her head: "It's okay for you to go together, but I'm afraid that going to the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts will delay us, and it won't be good if it's late."
Hearing this, Gu Yan and the others' faces changed slightly. Yu Lan, as a heavenly master, said that it would be bad at night, so it must be very dangerous at night. In this case, they couldn't let Yu Lan act alone.
If Yu Lan knew what they were thinking, she would be speechless. The danger was not a big deal. She just thought it was difficult to walk at night. After all, the road was not visible in the pitch black.
Seeing that Gu Yan and the other insisted on following, Yu Lan had no choice but to turn around and say to the pale-faced woman, "Then the three of us will all go to the Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts."
"Okay." The ghost girl's voice came, and three pieces of paper appeared on the counter: "Please sign them."
Gu Yan leaned over to take a look, and was surprised to see the three words "life and death warrant" very conspicuous.
The pale-faced woman was amused by Gu Yan's shocked expression and laughed twice in a low voice: "Master, don't worry... If you are scared, you can let Zihe stay with you. If you have any accidents, Zihe will help you."
Letting a person who looks like a ghost help him? Gu Yan is not trustworthy.
Zi He also knew that Gu Yan would not believe her, so she stretched out her slender fingers and tapped the paper. Although the paper was written with a life and death agreement, the clauses on it were some precautions for entering the Wangui Forest. One of the clauses clearly stated that people in the house could be hired as bodyguards, but they would need to pay an additional fee.
"Master." The woman named Zihe covered her mouth and smiled: "Do you want to try it? Zihe doesn't ask for much... just..."
As she spoke, Zi He's eyes widened slightly, and she reached out her hand stiffly to touch Gu Yan's chest. For some reason, Gu Yan felt a chill creeping into his body, making him unable to move. He could only watch the pale hands touch him.
The ghost asked for a price, even losing an limb was fine. Gu Yan didn't dare to imagine what price Zi He wanted, but his body couldn't move and he was unable to resist at all.
Just when Zihe's hand was about to touch Gu Yan, a hand suddenly reached out from the side to stop her, and stuffed something golden into Zihe's hand.
Zihe looked at the thing in her hand and her eyes lit up.
"Sister, this is enough." Yu Lan said helplessly, patting Gu Yan's back. I don't know why, but after being patted by Yu Lan, Gu Yan felt warm all over, the cold feeling disappeared, and he could move his body.
He looked at the thing in Zihe's hand in shock and found that it was actually a piece of gold. Where did Yulan get the gold?
Zihe smiled at Jinzi, and stopped immediately when she noticed the three people's gazes. She cleared her throat and glanced at Gu Yan and Mi Ji: "There are three of you here."
"Then give two more, no more." Yu Lan signaled with her eyes to Gu Yan and the others to pay the money. Gu Yan was confused. Where did they get the gold?
It was Mi Ji who thought of something first. Before leaving the previous unit story, Yu Lan said that money makes the world go round, and she also stuffed them with a pile of paper money and candles.
Thinking of this, Mi Ji took out one of the ingots: "Is this it?"
Seeing Yu Lan nod, Gu Yan also took out one. However, the ingots in their hands were still paper ingots, which were different from the golden and real gold that Yu Lan gave to Zi He.
"Just burn it." Yu Lan said, and snapped her fingers. The paper money in Gu Yan and the other man's hands suddenly caught fire, and they were so scared that they quickly let go of their hands.
The paper ingot burned into ashes. After the ashes fell to the ground, they were blown away by a cold wind, and two identical ingots appeared in Zihe's hands.
"Hehe... Money... Money..." Zihe laughed secretly twice. Although the voice still sounded very eerie, Gu Yan felt inexplicably... silly. He felt that this woman of unknown origin in front of him was not so scary.
Yu Lan knocked on the counter, and Zi He came back to her senses and regained her normal look. She put away the gold ingot in her hand, pointed at the signed life and death agreement in the air, and the three pieces of paper turned into three beams of golden light and sank into Zi He's body.
"The contract has been signed, Miss, two young masters, please follow me." Zihe said as she walked out from behind the counter.
At this moment, voices suddenly came from the lobby outside. Gu Yan stopped and looked back, and found two players coming in from behind.
Both players were men. One looked very mature, while the other was noisy and was sighing at the decorations in the house.
"Wow, this house is so grand... Hey, is anyone here already?" The noisy player walked into the back room and saw Yu Lan and the other two at a glance: "Are you players too?"
Mi Ji nodded: "Hello."
"Hello, hello." The young man greeted with a smile, and glanced at Yu Lan behind Gu Yan, and looked at her hesitantly for a moment: "Friend, you look familiar."
"My friend, you look familiar too." Yu Lan smiled: "Shivering?"
"Hey, how did you know...you are Boss Yu Lan!" The boy with the ID "shivering" suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Yu Lan in front of him in disbelief: "Why are you here? What a coincidence."
"Do you know her?" Gu Yan asked with his head tilted, and actually called Yu Lan "big boss".
"The players I met in the first unit story are pretty good." Yu Lan smiled and said to Qiao and Arthur, "You have also seen the notice board outside, have you decided where to go?"
"Not yet." A Qiao replied. He nodded to Yu Lan and thanked her sincerely, "Thank you for your help before."
"You're welcome." Yu Lan waved her hand nonchalantly: "If you have nothing else, go to the dojo. The Forest of Ten Thousand Ghosts... is very dangerous."
"Is that so?" Aqiao and Arthur looked at each other. Just as they were hesitating, another team of players came over.
The team of players was a man and a woman. After they came in, one of the female players frowned and said, "Why are there so many people in this instance?"
The male player next to him started talking to Yu Lan and the others: "Have you collected any clues?"
Everyone shook their heads. It was the first time they met each other, so they were inevitably wary and would not easily reveal any information even if they had it.
The male player also knew this, so he took the initiative to introduce himself: "My ID is Ya Zi, and she is Qing Luan. We came down from the mountain, and didn't find anything along the way. But I'm sure you will be interested in what I'm going to say next."
Everyone looked at each other and introduced themselves. Zihe also mixed in with the players and said her name with a smile.
She looked at Ya Zi and Qing Luan and said meaningfully, "Your names...are really nice."
Ya Zi smiled gently: "Everyone in our guild has a different code name, and the names they use are ancient mythical beasts."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What do you think we would be interested in?" Arthur interrupted Ya Zi and looked at him curiously. He should have been wary of these two people, but for some reason, seeing Yu Lan's calmness, he was not afraid of anything.
Ah, is this the sense of security that comes from having a boss around? I love it.
Ya Zi looked around at everyone, smiled mysteriously, and said in an unknown tone: "Our guild is quite special, our president is a capable person..."
Seeing Arthur's impatient expression, Ya Zi changed the subject: "I won't elaborate on these. Anyway, our president gave us an ability that allows us to sense nearby ghost energy. What I want to say is also very simple...that is."
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Yu Lan and the others standing opposite him: "There is a ghost among us."
Aqiao and Arthur looked at Yazi in shock and looked at the people around them nervously.
On the other hand, Gu Yan and Mi Ji remained silent, while Yu Lan and Zi He smiled happily with the corners of their lips curved, as if it had nothing to do with them.
Seeing that Yu Lan and the others had no reaction, Ya Zi frowned even more deeply. When he pointed in Yu Lan's direction just now, he was actually hinting at who the ghost was.
