Hearing the voice in his ear, Xiao Lan didn't choose to turn back. He jumped to the side with his legs on the ground, and turned his head to look at where he was just now after pulling the distance.

A small dry gray hand stretched out from the handrail of the stairs, waving towards him. It is a bit inappropriate to say that it is a hand. After all, no one's hand is this color, and this hand is structurally similar to a human, but it has sharp claws of a beast.

It's more like a mouse or something than a human.

There were several openings in the palm of that hand, opening and closing like a mouth, each mouth made a different sound, and the sound heard before came from here.

"He doesn't seem like a bad boy..."

"Grandma doesn't like to be noisy, as long as he makes a loud noise, he is a bad boy..."

"Hee hee, catch him... catch him..."

The child-like voices laughed and discussed. Following their voices, more and more small gray hands appeared around them, showing a posture of enveloping Xiao Lan.

A hand silently approached Xiao Lan from behind, trying to grab his ankle.

However, Xiao Lan raised his foot as if he had expected it, and stepped on the little gray hand with a "quack", directly crushing it. The mighty hand that used to bully the wounded in the past is now so fragile.

Xiao Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, this feeling seemed a little familiar.

Then, the gray hands seemed to be provoked, and they attacked Xiao Lan one after another. They were still saying something, but there were too many of them, and they made an inaudible humming sound.

Xiao Lan reached out and grabbed a hand that was very close to him, pulling it off the armrest, then took advantage of the situation and used it as a weapon to sweep at the surrounding hands. Under his strength, these hands were broken one after another. And make a crisp sound.

The remaining little gray hands finally found out that something was wrong:

"He... seems to be that person..."

"Which one?"

"The one in the kitchen..."

"Woooooo...it's scary..."

"Run...he'll eat us..."

"We really don't taste good..."

Accompanied by childlike crying, these little hands shrank back one after another, with a posture that they would be eaten by the big bad wolf if they ran too slowly.

Xiao Lan: "..."

Ah bah, who wants to eat you, don't insult my palate.

He carefully checked the surroundings and determined that the little gray hands were really gone, and did not lie in ambush to give him a turn to kill, and then he left.

——

Xiao Lan found Wang Teddy and Luo, and the three of them walked towards the room they noticed last night.

The surroundings of the room were very calm, Xiao Lan used ancestral craftsmanship to open the door and entered the room. The room is in the pastoral floral style of "grandma", and the light of the setting sun shines into the room, making it seem a bit warm.

There are oil paintings hanging on both sides of the walls, and the people in the paintings all look similar to her, and I don't know if they are family members or her own portraits.

In the middle of the room is an oil painting with people with different looks on it. These people are surrounded by the "grandma" in the middle, with happy expressions on their faces, and they look like a family portrait.

"Aren't these players?" Wang Teddy felt a little cold on his scalp when he looked at the painting, "Is it the one you said, the one in Mrs. Bella's secret room?"

Xiao Lan: "It's really similar."

Luo stretched his fingers to a few places: "These three are the players who played against us."

Xiao Lan and Wang Taidi looked over and saw that it was true, even the one who said they wanted to go back to the room in the dining room was inside.

Wang Teddy: "Is this a common hobby between bosses?"

Xiao Lan thought for a while: "It's probably the same reason that many people like to play krypton gold draw card mobile games, right? Collecting a full picture book seems more fulfilling."

After speaking, Xiao Lan stepped forward and checked the "family portrait". Wang Teddy and Luo separately searched for the key in the room.

While looking for it, Wang Taidi thought about his position in the boss's heart with lingering fears: "I think in their eyes, I may just be an N card... I want to throw it away when I draw it."

Xiao Lan originally wanted to comfort him, but found that there was nothing to say, Wang Teddy's positioning for himself was still very precise. You can't always say, "Although you are abolished, you have a brother. Although this is true, it sounds like a beating.

In the end, Xiao Lan could only say: "Soon your skills will be activated, and then it will be completely different."

After all, Wang Teddy's skill, which is described as a speech spirit, is still very powerful.

The three continued their work.

Xiao Lan first checked the back of the painting, it looked normal there, and there was no sign of hiding anything.

Then he observed the picture. The brushwork was delicate and the details were well depicted, but Xiao Lan always felt that something was wrong. The "grandma" in the picture was obviously fatter than the real one.

Xiao Lan touched the screen, but still could not find any sign of the hidden key.

At this moment, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from outside.

Then came the voice of "grandma", which seemed to be a bit rushed: "Children, come and gather, put down everything in your hands now, and don't let grandma wait for you!"

"When I count to ten, disobedient children will be punished, one..."

Xiao Lan frowned, this gesture was almost like he came back specially to prevent him from checking the painting.

But now there is nothing unusual about this painting, why should she stop it?

"Look." Luo's voice pulled Xiao Lan's attention back. He followed Luo's fingers and saw a painting on the wall turning his eyes back.

These paintings turned out to be monitoring players!

"two……"

Xiao Lan's eyes fell on the gradually sinking sunset by the window. Could it be that... the key will only appear at night? That's why "grandma" hurriedly stopped him at this time.

I am afraid that the moment the three of them entered the room, these paintings had already notified "grandma", no wonder the time of "grandma"'s return was so precise.

"Grandma" is already urging, and it's still a while before nightfall. If they are "disobedient" now, "Grandma" can attack them before the key appears, and this time the punishment may not only be fifteen minutes.

At that time, it will be much more troublesome if you want to go back and get this key that you don't know what form it will take.

"three……"

"Let's go." Xiao Lan said quickly, "Let's gather first, and look for opportunities next time."

The three hurriedly left the room and headed towards the door.

——

Before the last sound fell, the three of Xiao Lan arrived at the "grandmother"'s place.

Besides Xiao Lan, there were also Gu Jiangke, Hu Yue, and the female player who had lost one eye. This was the total number of survivors in this game.

"Good children, you are all good children..." Glancing at the remaining players, "Grandma" showed a kind smile, and when her gaze stayed on Xiao Lan, she seemed to extend a little bit, but she did not launch an attack. .

"You must be very hungry if you didn't eat at noon. Come, grandma will take you to dinner."

The players followed their grandma into the restaurant. Of course, the dinner was nothing special, it was still just vegetables. The players glanced at Xiao Lan, motivated themselves with the memories of hard work, and then nibbled at the leaves without any regrets.

Eh, so delicious.

After the meal, the players were also driven back to the room.

Today's story came very late. When Luo woke Xiao Lan up, Xiao Lan had the illusion that she was getting enough sleep.

The voice of "grandma" echoed in the corridor:

"Good boys, you will definitely like today's story."

"Have you noticed the gaps? Those dark, deep gaps, have you ever thought about what's hidden in them?"

"It's watching you when you sleep; it's watching you when you're eating; it's watching you when you're walking; it's watching you when you're hurt; When you died...it was still looking at you..."

"Hehe... Children, I wish you a good dream..."

Today's story is very strange, with no protagonist, no miserable victims, no hints of ways to avoid ghosts, and it sounds extraordinarily endless.

After "grandma" finished telling this story with no beginning and no end, she did not leave as usual, she continued: "grandmother is going out for a trip, and will bring friends to see you later, all of them are as kind as grandma. Elders, they will definitely like you, hehehe..."

Xiao Lan thought to herself, "A kind elder like "grandmother", ask them to come to the buffet?

The voice fell, and the sound of Shasha's footsteps left.

At this time, Xiao Lan noticed that the sound of the iron door closing had not been heard for a long time. Could it be that she did not close the door this time?

What does she want to do? Implying that players can move freely tonight, or is this a new trap?

Everything feels like a mountain is coming.

Unlike the previous stories, this time the story was all told, and nothing strange appeared in the room, but every crack seemed to have an unusual meaning.

It was as if there were no sights on them all the time.

Xiao Lan stood at the door, listening carefully to the movement outside—there was nothing.

Sounds like it's safe.

He was about to open the door and go out to have a look, but Luo stopped him. Luo said in his ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Please leave it to me, sir."

Xiao Lan looked at him, Luo nodded, the expression on his face was very insistent.

Indeed, as a human being of Luo Fei, he is more suitable for the work of exploring unknown situations. It's just that Luo's behavior was a little protective, which made Xiao Lan, who was accustomed to carrying it, a little uncomfortable.

He has always taken his own risks and played with his own life, never implicated others.

Luo smiled and added: "Please rest assured, I will be fine, can you trust me a little more in my abilities?"

Xiao Lan let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, be careful."

After Luo opened the door and went out.

Wang Teddy got dressed and came over: "How long have you known Fei Luo?"

Xiao Lan recalled: "Let's start from entering the game, what?"

Wang Teddy: "It's nothing, I just feel that the relationship between you is different from that of other people."

Xiao Lan: "Is there? I don't feel anything."

"Actually, I'm a little afraid of Fei Luo." Wang Teddy scratched his little curly hair embarrassedly, "I always feel that he looks like a different aura."

The aura of life and death that is unique to those in high positions does not look like an ordinary player, and only slightly restrains when he is by Xiao Lan's side.

Wang Teddy always felt that before Fei Luo entered the world, he was definitely not a person in the ordinary industry, maybe he was a behind-the-scenes boss of a major international organization or something, but it was amazing that Xiao Lan could face him without changing his face.

Xiao Lan recalled Luo's pride in buying a house and a car: "Yeah, he is full of money..."

Wang Teddy: "..."

Wake up, I didn't mean this!

Although he does look rich...
