My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

"What do you mean?" Leng Yihan was stunned.

"Isn't that easy to understand? You think those things outside are just to prevent others from coming in? Of course, they're also to prevent people from going out." Yu Miaomiao rolled her eyes at Leng Yihan.

"Wait, you should know that guests have come to your house, right... But according to you, you're being held captive here?" Leng Yihan asked.

"Well... you should ask her about that. I need to get dressed; it's too cold wearing just a towel." Yu Miaomiao pointed behind Leng Yihan.

"No way..." Leng Yihan stiffly turned around. There was a person sitting on the bed behind him, with his legs crossed, looking at Leng Yihan with a playful smile.

"What, are you surprised to see me?" another Yu Miaomiao said.

To make sure there were two people in the room, Leng Yihan almost instinctively wanted to turn around and check.

"If you dare turn around, I'll kill you." Hearing Yu Miaomiao's voice... it was Yu Miaomiao behind Leng Yihan who spoke, Leng Yihan immediately continued to look at Yu Miaomiao sitting on the bed.

"What exactly is going on... two Yu Miaomiaos?" Leng Yihan looked at the girls in front of her and asked seriously, trying to intimidate them by adopting the serious demeanor she usually displayed when playing games.

However, it seems to have no effect on the two of them at all.

“Yes, there are two Yu Miaomiaos, as you can see. Of course, you don’t need to worry that one of them is that woman in disguise, after all, she… is now quite dependent on the ‘ghost’.” Yu Miaomiao on the bed said, still wearing the same clothes that Leng Yihan had worn when she saw her these past few days.

“The people we usually meet…” Leng Yihan hesitated for a moment, waiting for Yu Miaomiao’s reply.

Yu Miaomiao smiled but didn't answer his question. Instead, she took out a remote control from somewhere and pressed something on the wall behind Leng Yihan.

"I'm dressed." Hearing Yu Miaomiao's words behind her, Leng Yihan turned around. She wasn't wearing the same clothes as Yu Miaomiao, but rather a very ordinary pink nightgown.

"Are you going to indulge in beautiful women or think about how to save your friends?" Yu Miaomiao, dressed in her pajamas, pointed to the door and said irritably.

Leng Yihan looked at... Forget it, this is too troublesome. Let's just call Yu Miaomiao, who is wearing formal clothes, Xiao Yu, and who is wearing home clothes, Xiao Miao.

When Leng Yihan looked at Xiaomiao, she naturally saw the door that had turned into a screen.

"I'm worried about how I'll get out and help them," Leng Yihan said, glancing at the screen. The screen showed a scene from the main hall, where Zou Yu was carefully kiting the ghost, while Ruan Qi, Fei Xue, and Leng Binglan were guarding him. Xu Zhou was fiddling with something behind the main seat.

"I have something to tell you. There's only one hour left until it gets dark." Xiaoyu's voice carried a hint of a smile.

“An hour?!” Leng Yihan exclaimed in surprise. “How long have I been in the passageway?!” He turned around and asked Xiaoyu.

"Hmm... two or three hours..." Xiaoyu didn't seem to be in a hurry. "They dragged the ghost away for a long time because of you."

"That doesn't make sense. We weren't that late when we woke up, were we?" Leng Yihan said.

"You're trying to talk to us about science?" Xiao Miao sneered.

Yeah... what's the point of talking about science when things are like this...? But if I rush back now, it'll definitely be dark by then... ghosts after dark...

Leng Yihan wiped away non-existent cold sweat and frowned deeply as she pondered a solution.

It seemed that Leng Yihan's serious expression amused the two beauties. After laughing a few times, Xiaoyu said, "Actually, there is a way... It can help you and it can also help us."

"What method?!" Leng Yihan immediately asked after hearing this.

"The method is... to help us retrieve something..."

229 The Girl in the Villa (16)

"So much time has passed... Xuzhou, haven't you finished working on that thing yet?!" Ruan Qi said anxiously.

Although they had no clock, they all had a strange feeling that time was approaching and night was about to fall.

"Wait, it'll be done soon, very soon!!!" Xu Zhou wiped the sweat from his face and continued fiddling with the mechanism box he found inside the main room.

Xu Zhou had been working on it for several hours and only determined the solution half an hour ago. However, there were simply too many steps involved. In a full half hour, Xu Zhou had only completed two-thirds of the solution, which was already his limit.

The reason he was able to solve this puzzle was because he was bored and would look for strange and unusual things to learn at home. After all, his family was wealthy. He had even been scolded by his family for this personality trait before, but Xu Zhou now only feels fortunate that he didn't change this personality trait back then...

"I...I can't hold on any longer..." At this point, Zou Yu had lost track of how long she had been walking. Her pace had slowed considerably, and with night approaching, the ghost's steps quickened a bit.

"I'll carry you!" Feixue quickly stepped forward and smoothly carried Zou Yu on her back without any pause. She took over for her. Gui seemed unable to do anything else and could only follow Feixue, who was carrying Zou Yu.

"Ha...hahahaha...hahahaha..." Suddenly, the ghost laughed. It stopped crying and started laughing, albeit intermittently. This usually signifies two things: one, night is coming; two, night has arrived...

Cold Blue observed that the ghost hadn't changed much, and could only guess that night was approaching, and this was the ghost's transitional period...

As night fell, the five of them had no idea what their fate would be. They could only pray that Xu Zhou would find something useful in the puzzle box...

"How can I help you?" Leng Yihan asked.

"You met an old lady before you came here, right?" Xiaoyu asked.

"!" Leng Yihan was stunned. She immediately remembered the old lady who lived alone in the town in the housing complex, the old lady who gave them her cell phone...

“You can get something from her, then go back to the villa’s attic and take away the item that suppresses this entire town,” Xiaomiao said.

"What are you going to get? How am I supposed to get out?" Leng Yihan asked.

"Well... all you need to do is get a box. As for how to get out..." Xiaoyu and Xiaomiao both stopped smiling and put on zombie faces.

"Who am I?" The two voices were incredibly cold, so cold that Leng Yihan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

“…Rain…” Leng Yihan’s voice stopped abruptly. Wasn’t this answer too simple?

Clearly, there should have been more clues, especially on the night the Ghost's actions were restricted, but none of them explored them, missing out on many things...

"Who am I?" the two asked again.

“…” Leng Yihan swallowed.

In that case, I remember there's another clue... I don't know if I can use it... Oh well, I'll just take a chance!

"You're a human being!" Leng Yihan shouted, quickly taking two steps back to get away from the two of them.

But he missed a step, and the next second, he started to fall, falling and falling, while above him, 'Yu Miaomiao' watched him expressionlessly.

The next moment, the surrounding environment changed, and Leng Yihan lost his focus and fell down the stairs at the entrance of the villa.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... What's going on?" Leng Yihan looked up and what she saw made her hair stand on end.

Countless little black figures stood not far from the villa, surrounding it, waiting for their pure white eyes to gaze upon it.

"!" Leng Yihan covered her mouth, not daring to speak. After thinking for a moment, she wanted to open the door and enter the villa's hall, but found that the door was locked tightly and could not be opened at all.

"...Never mind, let's go find the old lady first!" Leng Yihan bet that if she went out, these people would definitely find her, so she had to be quick!

Leng Yihan accelerated as if her life depended on it and rushed out. The little black men realized that someone had rushed out of the villa. They looked at Leng Yihan, revealed a chilling smile, and chased after her.

Leng Yihan sprinted along the path they had come from, her strength barely recovered before she had to keep running. Leng Yihan didn't know how much longer she could keep going; she might not be able to hold on much longer...

The white mist still didn't rise. After Leng Yihan rushed in, she noticed that the further she went, the thinner the white mist became. When Leng Yihan rushed out of the white mist, that is, when she left the path leading to the villa, the white mist disappeared.

But in an instant, it felt as if millions of eyes were fixed on him, as if they were looking at a naked person. They started pointing and whispering about him. Leng Yihan didn't know what they were saying, but he was sure they were talking about him. That's how Leng Yihan felt it.

"Damn it!!! This feeling is so annoying!!!" After standing there for only a short while, Leng Yihan heard the little black man's laughter behind her and immediately started running towards the place where she remembered the old lady living.

run.

Run run run—

Run, run, run, run!!!

Leng Yihan gritted his teeth and persevered despite his collapsing body. Without turning around, he knew that the group of little black people were following him. After leaving the white mist, their speed increased rather than decreased. The sounds and gazes in the town brought Leng Yihan immense psychological pressure, making it hard for him to breathe.

Rushing into the alley, something suddenly tripped Leng Yihan. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn't fall. Leng Yihan subconsciously looked back and realized that it was a human hand...

Moreover, there are more and more hands, and many hands in the alley are starting to reach out, trying to crawl out from underground.

Before Leng Yihan could turn back and start walking again, he heard the laughter of the little black men and had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue walking through the narrow alley.

Stepping on one hand after another, listening to their screams, feeling the gazes of those around her, hearing their whispers, and hearing the laughter of the little black men, Leng Yihan was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

At this moment, the entire difficulty of Nightmare Mode seemed to converge, encompassing not only the gameplay challenges but also the severe psychological pressure.

In the end, Leng Yihan could not withstand the pressure. Her tightly clenched spirit suddenly relaxed, and she collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Seriously... I'm so fragile... If it were Ice Blue... I could probably hold on...

Leng Yihan's head was a little fuzzy. In his semi-conscious state, he was lifted up by someone. Soon, his vision, the sarcasm, the laughter—all disappeared in an instant…

Leng Yihan suddenly opened her eyes and saw a dilapidated ceiling. The laughter of the little black people was still there, but it had faded and obviously gone. The gazes and whispers of the others were also gone...

Where is this place?

Leng Yihan endured the pain in her body. Just now, from when she was half-conscious to when she woke up, only about ten seconds had passed. It seemed that her spirit was not so fragile after all...

"Shh—don't move, they haven't gone far—" Someone stopped Leng Yihan. When Leng Yihan looked up, a terrifying face came into his view, almost making him scream.

Fortunately, Leng Yihan recognized the person in front of him; she was his target, the old lady…

I hadn't even realized I'd run to the old lady's doorstep... and she even saved my life! I'm so lucky... my luck seems to be still so good...

As the laughter of the little black children gradually faded away, the old lady went up to the second floor, and soon came down again.

"You actually escaped from the villa?" The old lady seemed very surprised that Leng Yihan was able to escape from that eerie villa.

“Yes… I actually escaped…” Leng Yihan smiled. “I originally thought the villa was scary enough, but I didn’t expect the outside to be the real nightmare.”

Yes, the real nightmare is outside...

"What are you planning to do next? Wait here until the fog clears? Time only returns to normal here, and the fog won't dissipate for another day," the old woman said, seemingly having seen Leng Yihan escape and feeling pity for him, wanting to save his life.

"Thank you, Grandma, but I'm sorry... my companions aren't dead yet. They're still holding off a knife that could kill them at any moment. I have to get back quickly." Leng Yihan struggled to her feet, her body weak.

"...You want to take the box back?" Suddenly realizing what Leng Yihan's purpose was, the old lady put on a stern face and said seriously, which looked rather terrifying.

“That’s right!” Although she would have to relive that experience, Leng Yihan couldn’t possibly not go back…

He can't afford to fall down in such an embarrassing way again...

230 The Girl in the Villa (17)

"...Sigh, you listened to what the Yu sisters said, didn't you?" The old lady was silent for a long time, then sighed and said.

"Sisters...?" Leng Yihan caught the key word. "They're not the same person?"

"Oh? You've seen both of them?" the old woman said. "Actually, it's not entirely wrong to say they aren't the same person."

"Why?" Leng Yihan realized that this might be very important information, but she was conflicted when she thought of her teammates who were still in danger of losing their lives in the house.

“I’ll walk with you, we can talk as we go…” After the old lady finished speaking, she stood up and went up to the second floor again. When she came down, she was holding a cane in her right hand and handing Leng Yihan a box in her left hand.

"...Isn't this the box for wedding rings?!" Leng Yihan exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the box. "Wrong, wrong...who said only wedding rings are kept in this box..." The old lady shook her head. "You young people...really..."
