Chapter 29: Zhou Lan Yu

  Lian Yu couldn't believe her ears, she didn't dare to believe it was true. How could this be!? She stared at Zhou Lan Yu with wide eyes.

  "So you're really Qiao Jia's boyfriend?" Lian Xi didn't dare to ask this question, and had been struggling with it for a long time before finally saying it out loud. "Qiao Jia has always refused to let me and Xiao Mu see you, I didn't expect to run into you here..."

  "Is that so, Xiaomu? Who is Xiaomu? ...It seems to be a familiar name... Ah yes, Qiaojia told me about this dream when she mentioned that Xiaomu had died and disappeared from the real world, vanished into thin air, with no one remembering her."

  Yes, apart from Lianxi, Qiaojia and Ying, no one else remembers Xiaomu. Zhou Leyu will naturally also forget everything Qiaojia told him about Xiaomu when she was alive.

  "Has Qiao Jia told you about this game?" "Just two days ago."

  "What did she tell you? Why are you here? This is too unbelievable, I once told Xiaomu and Qiaojia about my nightmare, and the second time we played the game, they both became players here. And two days ago, Qiaojia told you about these experiences, now you're also being pulled in. Is it to say..."

  "At first, I thought Qiao Jia had a nightmare and was stimulated, but now it seems that all of this is real. When I woke up in this terrifying place, I also suspected that if I told others about my experiences in the nightmare, they would be pulled in too. I just didn't dare to confirm."

  "Have you heard others talk about what happened here?" Lian Xi turned her head to look at Xia Xingluo.

  Although she didn't know what they were saying, Xia Xingluo was still flustered. Not only was she flustered, but her face also showed a sense of loss. It turned out that this man named Zhou Lan Yu already had a girlfriend. "What's going on? Here? I haven't heard anything about it......"

  Also, the last time only Lian Xi, Qiao Jia and Ying survived. This Xia Xing Luo is not recognized by Lian Xi, and she must not recognize her either. As for Ying, he probably won't have a good relationship with anyone to say all this...

  Lian Yu fell into deep thought. "Then, Zhou Lan Yu, you should have seen the game rules, right!?" "Yes, because I remember Qiao Jia telling me that the game rules were half-buried in black paper in the mud, so I specifically looked for it..."

  "Wait... wait a minute... what's this about black paper? What game rules? I didn't see anything!" Xia Xingluo looked at Lian Xi and Zhou Lan Yu in confusion.

  "Believe it or not, this is a game between you and the ghosts. I've been here three times already. You're lucky, this time's game is quite simple. Let's find the Death Tomb and browse through all the rules of the game. From every angle, this game seems to be very simple, probably won't lose your life."

  "You're saying... here... there's... a ghost?" Xia Xingluo was frightened out of his wits, his body trembling nonstop.

  "There's no extra time to talk, there are seven participants in this game. We need to merge with the others as soon as possible!" Lian Xi unknowingly spoke out what was on Zhou Lan Yu's mind, who now only wanted to find Yuan Qiao Jia as soon as possible and guard her by her side.

  "Where is this? Did I have a nightmare?" The fatty pinched his face hard, "Ahh, it hurts..." He sat up with a start, this isn't a dream? How can there be such a terrifying place in the world? It's so desolate, and the air is filled with a rotten smell. The fatty used both hands to support himself as he tried to stand up, "Huh, what's this?" The fatty discovered something in the mud, and carefully picked it up. ——Dream Purgatory Game Rules!

  "Is this a game? A haunted house? I don't remember coming to a haunted house..." Fatso looked at the game rules with suspicion, thinking that someone must be playing a prank on him. Fatso's short temper had offended many people in the past.

  "Survival points 4, number of people 7, find the death tomb, browse all game rules..." Fatso muttered to himself as he read the game rules.

  "Who did this, it's so scary... how boring." Although Fatso was unhappy and dissatisfied in his heart, he still stood up and started searching according to the rules.

  "Seven people, who knows when we'll run into others..." The fatty muttered to himself nonstop. Although he looked sturdy and fierce, in this kind of environment, even the bravest person would have some fear, his muttering was just to boost his own morale.

  Indeed, as Pangzi had thought, he soon met with Lianxi and others.

  "Hey...... hey...... wait for me!" Don't look at his chubby appearance, seeing someone's shadow in front of him, he rushed forward with his highest speed. His mood was obviously not so depressed anymore.

  Upon hearing the shout, Lian Xi and others turned their heads around. Standing in front of them was a chubby boy running quickly, this scene was somewhat comical, but in this tense atmosphere, no one could laugh. "Tired...tired to death...I'm exhausted." The chubby boy said with a big sweat and panting. He was huffing and puffing, his face still showing a smile. Only someone who didn't know their situation could smile like that...

  "You... you guys..." "You rest for now, we'll talk later." In fact, Lian Xi had also roughly guessed the doubts in Pao Zi's mind. After all, every new person who comes here will be like this. To be honest, Lian Xi didn't want to keep explaining things to new people either. Firstly, because she herself didn't fully understand, secondly, nine out of ten people wouldn't believe her, and thirdly, the calm and thoughtful ones would have a higher chance of survival. Lian Xi didn't want to repeat the same thing over and over again, only for no one to survive, and then having to continue like this next time. Lian Xi felt that she was really exhausted. The situation last time was still fresh in her memory, but her analysis had been met with suspicion by other players, almost costing her her life...

  "I am Zhou Lanyu, this is Mo Lianxi, and this is Xia Xingluo. What do you call yourself?" Lanyu didn't say much else, just a polite introduction.

  Fatso is still fatso, after resting for a long time he's still panting, "Xu... Xu Hongwei."

  "Let's go find the others first, and then we'll solve the problem in your heart." Lan Yu seemed very anxious, he eagerly wanted to see Qiao Jia immediately. In his heart, Lan Yu silently called out, "Qiao Jia, Qiao Jia, you must be okay. I will find you right away, you must wait for me, wait for me to protect you!"

  Lan Yu continued to lead the way forward, and the two girls quickly followed. Xu Hongwei hadn't rested well yet, but he didn't want to be left behind alone, so he gritted his teeth, endured his fatigue, and followed them. "Wait for me... you guys slow down, wait for me."

  They walked for a long time, and Lan Yu was getting impatient. "Where is Qiao Jia?" "Rest... rest for a bit... I really can't walk anymore..." Xu Hongwei plopped down on the ground with a thud. Lian Xi looked at this ball-like man helplessly. "Then let's take a break." Xia Xingluo also nodded in agreement.

  "You all take a rest, I'll go find Qiao Jia myself!" Zhou Lan Yu suddenly became impatient and continued on alone, his figure soon disappearing into the thin mist.

  "What's wrong with him? Why did he suddenly become unhappy?" Lian Xi didn't answer Xu Hongwei.

  Lian Xi had always heard that Zhou Lan Yu and Qiao Jia's relationship was good, but now that he couldn't find Qiao Jia, he would naturally be anxious. Lian Xi understood this very well. Moreover, from Zhou Lan Yu's words just now, Lian Xi knew that he was a very intelligent man. Compared to Zhou Lan Yu, Xia Xing Luo and Xu Hong Wei should need him more. So Lian Xi didn't chase after them, after all, if she also left, these two newcomers would definitely be in greater danger. Not to say that Lian Xi had much experience or was fierce, at least she clearly knew the dangers here and some of the game rules.
