…

Several people were confused, even Ruan Jiyan was confused.

Obviously, the wolf grandmother was killed, and Youjie, who was contaminated by the werewolf and turned into a bug, was also killed, so why did they come back to this place?

There was a voting card on the table with the words "Sixth Vote" written on it.

That was when Ruan Jiyan first entered the dungeon. They were voting. There were twelve people at the beginning, but after five votes, only seven people remained. That was when she came here.

However, although this is the sixth vote, there are only five of them at the moment. The dead Liu Xiao and Yin Qing, as well as the killed You Jie, did not come back to life because of the plot reset.

This means that although they have returned to the starting point, the actual plot is still moving forward.

Why did they come back here? No one can answer.

The only thing that is certain is that they probably haven't wiped out all the werewolves or bugs, otherwise they wouldn't be able to come back here again.

Now, the four of them turned their eyes to Ruan Jiyan, and inexplicably in their hearts they all wanted to rely more on this level 3 rookie.

Even though she was really just a level 3 rookie, the goddess of luck had been blessing her ever since she joined the team.

"So... why are we back here now and still voting? Could it be that there are still werewolves among us?" Seeing that she didn't say anything and seemed to be thinking about something, Yin An asked again.

No one knows who these questions are being asked to, and no one can fully answer them.

"The werewolves haven't died yet, so the copy hasn't ended yet." Ruan Jiyan simply stated his guess.

As soon as she finished saying this, Zhang Jing started screaming again.

"So now this means we have to throw the werewolves out of the team? I don't want to die!"

As soon as she spoke, several people started to have headaches.

Chen Xin wanted to say something to her, but Ruan Jiyan interrupted him, "Not necessarily in our team."

She guessed that although she couldn't be completely sure about the werewolf, it was most likely not one of the remaining people.

After the last vote, several people felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to vote again, so they voted out the partners who were not werewolves.

However, the system broadcast keeps ringing, reminding players to vote as soon as possible.

This time, the sound of electricity coming from the radio became louder, as if it was right in their ears.

[There are two minutes left, players please vote as soon as possible.]

Several people had panic in their eyes and were asking for help, but at the critical moment of life and death, no one was willing to step forward to help everyone, and everyone was afraid of death.

There is no other way. The werewolf's identity and whereabouts cannot be determined at the moment. Someone must go to the candlestick to accept the test of death.

"Vote for me." Ruan Jiyan spoke again, his voice was cold and his face was calm, without any sign of panic.

The four people had some shock on their embarrassed faces. No one of them had expected that Ruan Jiyan would actually choose to be thrown into the candlestick.

"Or, let's change someone." Chen Xin said hesitantly. He really didn't want to offend this person again.

…

After he said this, the atmosphere fell silent again, and even the sound of his breathing was exceptionally clear.

"No need, I have the talisman, I'll go." Ruan Jiyan said while showing his cards.

After killing Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother and Eugene who had become werewolves at her grandmother's house, she unlocked her hunter identity and received some rewards, including the Death-Substitution Spell and the Soul-Transferring Charm.

There was no chance to use the soul transfer charm at the moment, but the death-substitution spell could be used. After they threw her into the candlestick, maybe I could use the death-substitution spell to free myself. But if it was someone else, they might never come out again.

Although she didn't like these people, this was the game she designed. After all, these people were real players. If there was no way to return to reality after dying in the game, then it would be good for her to save at least one of them.

"By the way! Wasn't the ghost hand that was carrying out the death punishment mission... killed? Then it should be okay if we don't vote, right?" Li Mingyue suddenly remembered and reminded.

Yes, when Ruan Jiyan first came here, he used the talisman on his body to kill the ghost hand, so they were able to escape the vote.

Now that the ghost hand is gone, there should be no point in their voting, right?

Yin An had been listening to their discussion with a frown on his face, and finally he spoke up: "Not necessarily. The plot we are following now is no longer a simple game copy. Maybe a lot of bugs will appear when we are not paying attention. If we don't follow the prompts now, maybe no one will survive in the end."

His words were very realistic and extinguished the glimmer of hope that several people had.

That is to say, someone must enter the candlestick to accept death.

Ruan Jiyan didn't want to explain anything more, but just urged everyone, "Vote."

Almost a minute passed by before several people slowly placed the cards in their hands on the table.

After voting, several people looked unnatural and obviously a little embarrassed.

Ruan Jiyan looked at the expressions of the few people and understood. Although it was expected, he still wanted to sneer.

Sure enough, when the system finally announced it, Nguyen Jiyan received all the votes and entered the candlestick as expected.

When she stood up, several people were afraid to look her in the eye.

She ignored them and just called out her system.

[System, help me open the store.]

[Opening the store for you... Host, you already have the Death Substitute Spell, what else do you want to redeem? ]

[Alas, a death-substitute spell can't completely avoid danger. What if there are other things that might happen?]

[……]

Would you like to take a closer look at what you are saying?

[All right.]

Ruan Jiyan now has a lot of life points, more than a hundred points. She actually doesn’t know what is the best thing to redeem, so she finally redeems it for a protective shield.

I spent thirty-five life points. It was very refreshing when I redeemed them, but I started to feel the pain after I redeemed them.

After entering the candlestick, Ruan Jiyan did not use a protective shield, but just put up a death-substitute talisman.

The candle stand, as the name suggests, is a small dark room with a wooden table inside and two white candles lit beside it. On the wooden table is an incense table with two half-burned incense sticks stuck on it, with ashes still falling down.

The whole small dark room was filled with fragrant smell.

It is clearly a Western-style plot, but there are many Chinese-style elements in it.

There is the Western style of straightforward horror, and there is also the Chinese style of belated horror.

The time that was originally less than a minute seemed to be deliberately stretched out, and the seconds passed very slowly. The position where the ghost hand should have been placed was vacant, and Ruan Jiyan took out the ghost hand that he had solved at the beginning from the system backpack and put it back to its original position.

The ghost hand, which had been as stiff as petrified and unable to move, suddenly came to life.

Then, she kept leaning on Ruan Jiyan, like a child relying on its mother.

Ruan Jiyan's eyes widened and he took a step back with some disgust.

Suddenly, she felt a burning pain in her back, which disappeared in an instant. She turned her head cautiously, but found nothing.

The ghost hand had already climbed onto her shoulder and was leaning against her shoulder like an obedient pet.

She tried to shake the hand off, but it stuck to her like glue.

In the end, Ruan Jiyan gave up struggling and let the ghost hand stick to her shoulder.

The system voice slowly sounded: [Host, you...have obtained a...pet? ]

This system is quite human-like. It originally wanted to say an ugly pet, but in the end it didn't pronounce those four words.

"I don't know. Who would want a pet like this with such a horrible appearance?" She said unhappily, looking at the dark and withered hand on her shoulder with more disgust.

The ghost hand seemed to understand. The palm of Lao Gao's hand, which was originally stretched out, seemed to have its bones and muscles pulled out, and it shrank down all of a sudden.

This small and enclosed space was filled with the smell of incense. Ruan Jiyan felt like he was almost suffocating. He couldn't bear it any longer and decided to go out.

Since so much time has passed and she is still alive, maybe people really won't die.

Then she pushed the door open and walked out.

Seeing her coming out, several people were startled at first. The gloom on the faces of several people who were already immersed in sadness and self-blame suddenly disappeared.

Yin An went forward and said in surprise, "Great, you're okay."

Ruan Jiyan didn't have any good feelings towards this person, let alone any impression of him.

Ruan Jiyan was still a little uncomfortable with his sudden attentiveness to her.

Zhang Jing and Chen Xin, who originally had a bad attitude towards her, looked at her with an unnatural smile, but she didn't even look at them.

These people are very fickle. Less than a day ago, they were still disgusted and looked down on her, but now they treat her as their adopted parent.

She had nothing good to say about these hypocritical people.

She walked over and sat down, ignoring the embarrassment of several people, until the clock hanging on the wall rang the hour and several people stood up again.

It is currently 9:00 p.m., and according to the rules, players must return to their rooms as quickly as possible, lock the doors, and go to sleep, otherwise no one knows what will happen.

Several people walked up to the second floor with ease, found the room they had stayed in before, walked in and closed the door.

Yin Qing's room was next to Zhang Jing's room. That morning, everyone saw Yin Qing's tragic death in Yin Qing's room.

Zhang Jing is now a little scared, afraid that something unexpected will happen to her tonight.

Then she knocked on Ruan Jiyan's door.

Ruan Jiyan was still taking a shower. She kept remembering what You Jie had told her. Although she didn't do anything this time, she entered the candlestick and the ghost hand still rubbed all over her body. So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she went to take a shower after entering the house.

Hearing the sound of knocks at the door, Ruan Jiyan quickly wrapped himself with a long towel, then held a dagger and moved towards the door step by step.

The door was still being knocked regularly. Ruan Jiyan's heart tightened with every step she took. Her hands were still shaking when she reached the door.

Then, she heard Zhang Jing's soft voice.

"Ruan Jiyan, are you there?" Zhang Jing greeted her outside the door. Ruan Jiyan rolled her eyes. Where else could she be if not in the room?

Then she opened the door, stood at the door and asked her: "What's the matter?"

Her voice was cold and emotionless. Zhang Jing's embarrassed smile froze. Then she smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Well... I have something to ask you."

Ruan Jiyan still had no expression or words, which made her unable to continue.

But in the end she still said it out loud, "I think..."

She fiddled with her clothes with her fingers, wanting to say something but not to. Ruan Jiyan couldn't wait any longer, so he reluctantly asked her, "Just tell me what you want to say."

"Well...I, I want to change rooms with you." She added, "I beg you."

In an instant, her face turned ugly, a little frightened and a little deliberately pitiful.

Ruan Jiyan glanced outside and understood why she came to beg her.

Yin Qing's room was next to hers, but before they left, Yin Qing was killed by the werewolf. But Ruan Jiyan didn't know this at first, because when she arrived, Yin Qing had just died.

Zhang Jing came to find Ruan Jiyan because she thought she didn't know.

She took advantage of the situation and asked in a puzzled manner, "Why?"

Zhang Jing obviously didn't expect her to say that, and she just stood there in a daze, "Huh?"

"Why should I switch with you? Is there something scary in your house, or did you find some treasure in my house?"

"I...no, please just save me, please. I beg you." Ruan Jiyan started asking a bunch of questions aggressively. She didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she had to pretend to be pitiful.

"I save you, but who will save me?" Ruan Ji Yan sneered. She had only helped them once, but they really regarded her as the stupid and naive Saint Mary savior.

Zhang Jing saw that she couldn't fool him, so she laid her cards on the table: "Yin Qing's room is next to mine. I'm afraid the werewolf will kill me tonight, so I came to ask you to save me. Don't you have those talismans? I'm sure I won't die. Please help me."

She spoke sincerely, holding Ruan Jiyan's hand tightly, as if Ruan Jiyan and she were some kind of sisters with a deep affection.

Ruan Jiyan finally sneered: "Humph, I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Her talisman was not blown by the wind. Besides, she was not the naive saint heroine who would rush to die if anyone said a few pitiful words to her.

Zhang Jing's expression changed instantly when she heard her say this. She was angry but dared not say anything. She originally thought that Ruan Jiyan would save her life, but she didn't expect her to be so cruel.

"You! What are you doing..." Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Ruan Jiyan.

"First of all, I don't do charity. I won't help anyone who comes to me out of pity and says a few words. Secondly, you and I are not close enough for me to die for you. You can find anyone you want. I can't help you anyway. Finally, I won't tell anyone about this, but I won't have anything to do with you anymore in the future."

After saying this, before anyone could react, Ruan Jiyan slammed the door shut.

[Host, I thought you would help her.]

The system suddenly spoke, Ruan Jiyan chuckled and shook his head.

[I am not a saint, and I am only responsible for finding bugs to reduce the number of players killed. I am not so great as to exchange my life for others. My life is also a life!]

She still had a teasing tone in her voice at this time, and her mood was not affected at all by what had just happened.

Suddenly, her ears moved and she heard heavy footsteps coming from the corridor.

Dong-dong-dong-dong

At this moment, Ruan Jiyan's head suddenly hurt, and her memories overlapped with the scene at this moment. Her eyes widened, as if she had thought of something.
