My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"Xuzhou...Xuzhou...Get up...Get up—" Leng Yihan tried calling Xuzhou a few times, but there was no response; he was clearly sleeping soundly.

There was definitely something wrong with that dinner...

Leng Yihan recalled the previous dinner. She hadn't eaten much, so she hadn't slept very soundly. However, the other five people hadn't eaten as little as Leng Yihan; they had all eaten their fill.

There's probably been something poisoned in the food. Should I go out and check it out...?

After thinking for a while, Leng Yihan pressed her ear to the door and listened carefully to the footsteps outside. That person... or rather, the one who was neither human nor ghost, was getting further and further away from this place. Only after confirming that the target was quite far away did Leng Yihan knock on the door and open it, cautiously peeking out to observe the corridor.

Leng Yihan knew that her caution might cause her to lose track of the person, but she didn't expect that even with a carpet at the door, the person could still make footsteps...

Wait, was that really footsteps?

Leng Yihan suddenly remembered this question. He looked at the other end of the corridor, the direction in which the guy, who was neither human nor ghost, had left. After hesitating for a moment, Leng Yihan decided to go and check if anyone was missing from the girls' room.

The girl's room was next to the boy's room. Leng Yihan walked to the door and knocked gently, but there was no response. She guessed that the boy was still asleep.

He didn't dare chase after them alone, otherwise he would feel uneasy. So he opened the door and went into the room. The three girls each slept in their own beds. Their room was obviously much bigger, which was probably due to Yu Miaomiao's favoritism, since they were all girls...

All three slept in large beds. Leng Yihan walked to Leng Binglan's bedside. At this moment, Leng Binglan had her brows slightly furrowed, seemingly not sleeping soundly.

"Binglan, Binglan..." Leng Yihan gently shook Leng Binglan's body. She was indeed not sleeping deeply. After a long time, she hummed in response and opened her eyes groggily.

"elder brother?"

"Is Xia Bing's body special, or was it just that the special food was drugged... that she woke up so quickly." Leng Yihan thought to herself. Leng Binglan had also eaten quite a bit, but judging from the looks of it... although she had eaten some, it wasn't much.

"Brother... what are you doing here?" When Leng Binglan saw that the person who came was Leng Yihan, she became much more sober. She subconsciously covered her chest with her hands and looked at Leng Yihan cautiously.

"No, no... I won't do anything. Also, I've discovered something." Leng Yihan said with a serious expression. Otherwise, Leng Binglan might get addicted to acting and drag things out for too long.

"Oh? Is there any important clue?" Seeing Leng Yihan's serious expression, Leng Binglan stopped playing around, put her hands down, climbed off the bed, and put on her shoes.

“Ruan Qi might be dying,” Leng Yihan said. “She was taken away by something that’s either human or ghost, and her chances of survival are slim.”

"Is it really a nightmare instance...? There aren't even any death conditions?" Leng Binglan sighed. "Luckily, I didn't eat too much. I felt something was wrong while I was eating, so I stopped. If I had eaten too much, I probably wouldn't have been able to wake him up."

"Do you know which dishes have been spiked?" Leng Yihan grasped the key point; it was clear that Leng Binglan seemed to know which dishes had been spiked.

"You want me to go see Ruan Qi with you, right? Let's talk as we walk." Leng Binglan said, standing up. Leng Yihan followed her into the room, gentlemanly opening the door and letting Leng Binglan go out first.

"Go to the right?" Leng Binglan said after glancing at the carpet. "Yes, did you notice?" Leng Yihan asked casually.

“This…it was probably stepped on by someone whose weight is about the same as Ruan Qi’s. If she was carrying Ruan Qi, then it means her weight is very close to zero…” Leng Binglan said, and then walked to the right.

"You're really brave..." Leng Yihan retorted, while Leng Binglan calmly replied... What's wrong with you? Was your fear during those horror movies on our dates just an act?

"Hmm... I've seen this kind of thing a lot before... I usually only pretend to be so scared so that you, my brother, can feel like a man." Leng Binglan.

"Please don't say the truth out loud." Leng Yihan felt a pang of sadness; she was indeed inferior to a little girl... (Although this little girl was honestly older than her, and much older in terms of mental age.)

The villa was clearly very large, and Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan caught up quickly. Before long, they heard the ghost's voice again.

"Tap...tap...tap..." Just after turning the corner, Leng Yihan paused, carefully watching the other side, while Leng Binglan peeked out and looked in the direction where the ghost was.

But after just one glance, Leng Binglan turned her head away.

"No need to look anymore, Ruan Qi is dead." These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Leng Yihan. "Although this thing looks like a carpet, it doesn't reduce sound at all. Moreover, the temperature there is very low. The blood flowing from that ghost's body froze into ice and fell onto the carpet just like it fell onto a wooden floor. And the blood disappeared immediately after it fell onto the carpet." Leng Binglan.

“Oh ho… I heard that voice a while ago, when he arrived,” Leng Yihan said.

"Should we continue tracking them?" Leng Binglan glanced at Leng Yihan, seeking his opinion.

“…Let’s go, and see where we go,” Leng Yihan said. She couldn’t back down now; it might lead to some important clues.

Leng Binglan peeked out again. The ghost was gone, but the sound was still there, and she could tell that it had probably turned right ahead.

"Doesn't something feel off?" Leng Binglan asked Leng Yihan as she walked out and headed in the direction the ghost had disappeared.

"Is the villa too big?" Leng Yihan had been wondering for a while. Although the villa did look very big from the outside, Leng Yihan realized after entering that the place was really much bigger.

“Hmm, it’s too big. I’m worried we’ll get lost if we keep going like this. Let’s follow another path. If he still wants to keep going, we shouldn’t follow anymore.” Leng Binglan finished speaking and walked forward.

But soon, her footsteps faltered slightly, and Leng Yihan knew exactly what had happened: the ghost's voice had vanished...

"What's going on?" Leng Binglan frowned, cautiously moved closer to the other wall, and walked over carefully. Leng Yihan also noticed something was wrong and followed beside Leng Binglan, pulling her away whenever something happened.

“…Run!” Leng Binglan shouted immediately after just one glance. Leng Yihan was prepared and took the opportunity to grab Leng Binglan and run away.

"Hahahaha... Hahahaha..." A sharp laugh rang out after the two voices, and without turning around, one knew that the ghost had caught up.

"Watch out! He's going to use his blood to attack us! Dodge to the left!" Hearing Leng Binglan's words, Leng Yihan immediately dodged to the left.

A whooshing sound rang out as a drop of blood grazed Leng Yihan's hair, nearly hitting her head before striking the villa's wall and leaving a small hole.

"If that hit me, I'd definitely die on the spot!" Leng Yihan complained, then turned and ran into another corridor. Escaping was the priority now, and she didn't care where she was going.

"Watch out! Here it comes again!" But this time, Leng Binglan's warning was too late. Before Leng Yihan could dodge, a sharp pain shot through his legs, and he fell to the ground. Leng Binglan threw him away just before he fell, keeping her distance.

"Let's go! We must complete the mission!" Leng Yihan's heart had turned cold; being alive in this situation was truly a stroke of luck...

"Hahahaha..." The ghost's voice was still so sharp that it hurt Leng Yihan's ears.

"Stop! What do you want to do to my guest?"

220 The Girl in the Villa (7)

"Stop! What do you think you're doing to my guest?" A voice rang out, and the ghost abruptly stopped moving, no longer attacking Leng Yihan.

"Ouch... This really hurts..." Leng Yihan said, struggling to turn over. He was saying it hurt... In fact, he had lost even basic sensation in his feet, and he couldn't feel any pain. The cells in the wounds were frozen to death.

"It's so cold..." Before Leng Yihan could react, someone hugged her from behind. "You scared me to death... I thought you were going to die..."

"What are you afraid of? I'm sure I won't die, right?" Leng Yihan smiled. What was Leng Binglan afraid of? He wasn't using his original body, so he wouldn't die.

"..." Leng Binglan leaned against Leng Yihan without replying.

"Phew... You are my guests. It would be really bad if you died like this. But just because I can protect you once doesn't mean I can protect you a second time. Please be careful." Leng Yihan turned her gaze to the person who spoke, Yu Miaomiao.

At this moment, she had selectively ignored Ruan Qi, who was being held in the ghost's arms. However, Leng Yihan didn't need to go up to confirm that Ruan Qi was definitely dead, with three bloody holes in her head and four bloody holes in her left chest.

Is this a reminder that just because we were protected this time doesn't mean we can be protected a second time?

Leng Yihan glanced at Yu Miaomiao, who glared at the ghost, which immediately left. It then walked to Leng Yihan's side, placed its hands on Leng Yihan's crippled legs, and a warm current flowed through them. The sensation in her legs returned first, followed by unbearable pain.

"Ah—uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh—" Leng Yihan was about to scream when Leng Binglan covered her mouth before she could even utter a sound.

"Quiet down!" Yu Miaomiao said. She glared at Leng Yihan before slowly putting her hands back on Leng Yihan's legs.

As the familiar warmth flowed through her, the pain lessened considerably. Before long, the pain in Leng Yihan's legs disappeared, and she was able to move freely again.

"You're lucky I was here this time. Otherwise, you would have died soon." Yu Miaomiao said and stood up. "Find your way back yourself. I'm going to sleep. Goodnight."

In the blink of an eye, Yu Miaomiao had disappeared from their sight. "She left in a teleportation manner," Leng Binglan said.

“…Shall we go back to our room first?” Leng Yihan was also tired; that short walk had seemed to have exhausted almost all of his energy.

"Ah."

Fortunately, their room was on a corridor that turned right after walking straight down this corridor, so it seems they hadn't gone the wrong way at first and were running towards their room.

After saying goodbye at the door, Leng Yihan returned to her room, where Xu Zhou was still fast asleep, completely unaware that one of his companions had died.

If Leng Yihan's guess is correct, that ghost will come to bother them again in the coming days.

Leng Yihan had to come up with a solution, otherwise all the NPCs would really die, or if not the NPCs, then she herself would die.

After climbing into her own bed, Leng Yihan closed her eyes, and sleepiness quickly overwhelmed her, swallowing her consciousness...

-

"Hmm... Lin Ye, have you seen Ruan Qi?" When Leng Yihan woke up and walked out of the room, she ran into Xu Zhou, who was lingering at the door. However, judging from his appearance, he seemed to have already searched for her in many places.

"What's wrong?" Leng Yihan frowned, carefully observing Xuzhou, but found nothing amiss.

“Ruan Qi is missing… I’ve walked around the entire villa, and it’s not as big as I imagined,” Xu Zhou said.

"Huh?" Leng Yihan was stunned. "Never mind, she'll probably be back soon. Let's go have breakfast first. Yu Miaomiao was already preparing breakfast, it should be ready by now." Xu Zhou said, turning around and walking back to the hall.

"...'The villa isn't as big as I imagined'? What a joke..." Leng Yihan muttered to himself, still vividly remembering the long corridor from yesterday.

"Never mind, let's go downstairs for breakfast first. I didn't eat much last night and I'm starving... I'll go with Feixue and the others to take a look later..." Leng Yihan followed Xu Zhou downstairs and returned to the lobby on the first floor from the second floor.

There was already quite a bit of food on the table, but it was just enough for them. It was worth noting that, apart from the plate at the head of the table, there were also plates at the six seats below the head of the table...

Wait, six? Yu Miaomiao couldn't possibly not know that Ruan Qi is dead, could she?

Leng Yihan suddenly felt a chill in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he sat back down. No matter what, he should eat his fill first...

No one started immediately; instead, they waited for the owner to arrive, as it would be very impolite to start using the utensils before the owner returned.

"Zou Yu, where is Yu Miaomiao?" Leng Yihan looked up and asked Zou Yu, who was sitting directly opposite her. It seemed that they were willing to give up the first seat below the main seat to Leng Yihan.

"Hmm? I don't know... It seems like she just went out for a while, she'll be back soon." Just as Zou Yu finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door, but upon hearing it, Leng Yihan immediately focused her attention.

"Let me go... Where am I... Where am I..."

"Stop messing around, your friend is waiting for you."

"Are you kidding me!"

It seems that Yu Miaomiao had a dispute with someone, but Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan both had a clue who it was, but they just couldn't believe it.

Soon, the door opened, and Yu Miaomiao walked in, carrying a sulking Ruan Qi. Seeing the five of them sitting down, she froze, "You...you guys are really here..."

"..." Leng Yihan and Leng Binglan exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes. The dead had actually come back to life? What was going on?

"...Ah! Ruan Qi, Ruan Qi, what happened to you? Everyone was so worried when we woke up this morning and found you were missing..." Leng Yihan said immediately after realizing what had happened.

"Huh? I don't know either... I was clearly sleeping in my bed at home, and when I woke up I was in a separate room in this villa... I was so scared that I ran outside, but I couldn't get out no matter what I did..." Ruan Qi said. At this time, he had been put down by Yu Miaomiao, and after putting him down, Yu Miaomiao went straight to the main seat.

"By the way, you six, you can't leave before the town opens, not even the villa. Of course, you're all welcome to visit my home." Yu Miaomiao said with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness in her smile. It was a reminder, and also a warning.

“We understand,” Feixue nodded. “That means we can’t even leave the villa’s entrance before the fog clears, right?”

Indeed, the fog at the entrance of the town had already spread to the door of the villa. Although it was very light, it had definitely spread over.

“That’s right, then I hope you have a pleasant time at my home, thank you~” After saying that, Yu Miaomiao sat back in the main seat and elegantly began to eat her breakfast.

Leng Yihan took a closer look at Ruan Qi, who was still standing there dumbfounded. At this moment, the unidentified leg behind him had disappeared, and he seemed to have returned to normal.

"...Ruan Qi, come and sit down quickly. We have to wait until the fog clears before we can leave," Zou Yu said to Ruan Qi.

"Ah? Hmm... I understand..." Ruan Qi saw that her good friends had already started eating breakfast, so she felt that there should be no problem and sat down as well.

"Is it really that simple..." Leng Yihan took a bite of bread, thinking to herself.
