After Xiao Tangqiu finished expressing his guess, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Tang Mianmian was shaking with fear: "So... we have to face two ghosts?" Fang Lan alone is difficult enough to deal with, and with Zhou Hai coming along, they are definitely going to be wiped out!
Xiao Tangqiu shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten what Luo Mansu said? This is only a D-level mission, so it shouldn't wipe us out. Although his words may not be trustworthy, there's no need for him to lie to us... Logically, we should be in the novice protection period now. How can a game that wipes out the entire team right from the start still be sustainable?"
"What's this horror game talking about sustainable development? It clearly just wants to kill us all!" Tang Mianmian complained, but she still believed Xiao Tangqiu's words. "So what do you think?"
Xiao Tangqiu raised his eyebrows: "I think Zhou Hai might be our way out."
Tang Mianmian seemed to understand: "So that's why you took this thing? But what does this have to do with our survival?"
"I don't know either, but since this is a tip from Zhou Hai, let's take a look." Xiao Tangqiu's eyes darkened. "Let's go find Luo Mansu first and ask for his opinion. After all, he's an old player, so maybe he knows something."
As soon as Xiao Tangqiu finished speaking, Tang Mianmian pointed ahead and shouted, "I saw them! They're right up ahead!"
Sure enough, Luo Mansu, who had just run away from them, was not far away, followed by Ding Tiantian, who was still in a strange state. The silent trio was also there.
Luo Mansu also saw the two of them and asked quickly, "Where's the female ghost? Did she catch up?"
"We just made a few quick moves and got rid of her, but it was only temporary," Xiao Tangqiu said vaguely. "By the way, we just got something..."
Xiao Tangqiu briefly explained the boat prop, then asked Luo Mansu, "Brother Luo, you're an old player, maybe you can guess what this prop is used for?"
Luo Mansu's eyes lit up as he looked at the boat pole in Tang Mianmian's hand. However, he hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "...I can't guess, but according to what you said, it should be some important plot item. Why don't you let me take a closer look?"
Tang Mianmian was about to hand the boat over to Luo Mansu when Xiao Tangqiu stopped her: "Wait a minute, someone's coming!"
Luo Mansu was about to take over the boat pole when Tang Mianmian shouted, "That female ghost is chasing us?!"
Under the cover of night, a dark shadow pounced towards them. Everyone was so frightened that their faces changed drastically and they fled in all directions. Tang Mianmian also hurriedly pulled Xiao Tangqiu and ran away.
But at this moment, the black shadow suddenly spoke: "...It's me!"
Xiao Tangqiu took a closer look and saw that the shadow was actually the yellow-haired Lu Dadong whom he had not seen since entering the room. He immediately became alert: "Is it you?"
"Yes, it's me! What? Are you surprised that I'm not dead?" Lu Dadong spat, "I'm alive and well! No one can kill me!"
Xiao Tangqiu looked at Lu Dadong doubtfully, unable to believe that this guy had actually survived the perilous Yun Mansion. Luo Mansu suddenly spoke up, "One more person means more strength. This is a good thing! Let's work together to find a way out!"
"Yes," the woman leading the trio said solemnly, "The most important thing now is to find a way out!"
Luo Mansu glanced at her and sneered, "You three sneaked into the Yun Mansion a day earlier than us, and you didn't find anything?"
"Of course we found it!" the woman's female companion said angrily.
"Jingjing!" The woman's male companion called out nervously.
"It's alright," the woman said calmly, "This D-level mission seems to be much more difficult than we imagined. If we don't cooperate, we might not be able to get out."
The faces of her two companions changed and their expressions became shaken.
"You are also an old player, right?" The woman looked at Luo Mansu.
Luo Mansu nodded, and the three people introduced themselves again. Only then did everyone know their real names. The woman in the lead was called Yan Yiyan, and her two companions were called Xia Jingjing and Xia Chenxuan, a pair of siblings. Apart from that, there was no more information. However, they were at most a temporary cooperative relationship, and there was not much trust between them.
