When Lan Shuang looked up, there was someone standing by the window upstairs, also looking down.
When their eyes met, Lan Shuang found that the face was exactly the same as her own, as if she was looking in a mirror from a distance.
However, there couldn't be another her in this world; it could only be the system or something else causing trouble. Lan Shuang suspected that it was the character she was playing—the Sixth Miss—who had assumed her appearance and stood upstairs.
It is very likely that she was standing there and watching someone jump from the building.
Lan Shuang lowered her head and looked down. The large pool of blood was still lying there quietly.
Thinking of something, Lan Shuang ran towards the manor. 888 asked in confusion, "Host, why are you running?"
"Go up and see if there's anyone else in the room. What exactly happened?"
Lan Shuang rushed upstairs and finally saw someone standing at the window of He Ping's room. So did that girl jump from He Ping's room?
"Could it be that the one who jumped down was the eldest lady?"
Lan Shuang thought as she approached the person at the window. She carefully stood behind the person and asked softly, "Sixth Miss, do you have something to say to me?"
Her intuition and several experiences told her that the person in front of her seemed to have no ill will towards her.
Every time she appears, it seems to have a specific meaning.
Hearing her voice, the face that looked exactly like hers slowly turned around, and their eyes met. Suddenly, bright red blood flowed from his eyes.
"Walk."
Lan Shuang was stunned: "What did you say?"
The person in front of her suddenly went crazy, and she shouted loudly: "Go, go! Go!"
She shouted and grabbed Lan Shuang's shoulders and pushed her towards the balcony.
Until her back was against the edge of the balcony, the blood and tears in the man's eyes fell on the back of Lan Shuang's hand, "Let's go——"
Lan Shuang suddenly stopped struggling and just looked at her.
888 said worriedly: "Host, please be careful. There is a balcony behind you. I don't know what it is like in reality. It would be very dangerous if you fall down..."
Before he could finish his words, the man reached out and pushed Lan Shuang off the railing.
"Host, why don't you resist? Ahhhhhh, you're going to fall like that corpse!" 888 was scared.
However, Lan Shuang smiled and said, "Let's take a gamble."
The ground seemed infinitely magnified in her eyes. The moment she touched the bottom, she suddenly woke up. The scene around her was instantly distorted and shattered, like a broken mirror. The pair of eyes filled with blood and tears turned into countless pieces. She didn't know if Lan Shuang was dazzled, but she vaguely saw her smiling.
The next moment, the scene before her eyes fell into complete silence and turned into darkness.
888 asked in shock, "Are we back?"
Lan Shuang nodded: "It seems so, so the way to break the illusion is to jump down from the building and break the cycle."
888 suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder you didn't hide just now. But how do you know that Miss Six won't hurt you? Is it really based on gambling?"
Lan Shuang nodded: "It's just a woman's intuition. If she really wanted to harm me, she could have done it the first time she came to me. Why wait until now?"
888 thought the same thing, "Phew, luckily I met a good ghost."
Lan Shuang smiled, felt around on the wall, found the switch and turned it on, and the room suddenly became bright.
Rose's voice also sounded at the same time, "Ah, you came out just like that? So fast~"
Lan Shuang shrugged. "Well, so, you want to punish me again?"
"No, no, no. We won't punish you twice for the same crime. The fact that you were able to come out so quickly shows that you're both brave and smart enough."
"That's great. I'm looking forward to you making it to the end, but I have to warn you."
Rose's voice became eerie. "This is a survival game. Only those who survive to the end can leave. But... not everyone can survive to the end~"
Lan Shuang nodded: "So what will happen if I don't go out? Will I become a ghost here?"
"Hehe, you'll know when the time comes."
After saying that, she left. Lan Shuang called her twice but there was no response.
"What is she hinting at?" 888 rubbed his arms. "I feel like she has something else to say."
Lan Shuang also had this feeling, but she was not sure yet.
"Never mind it for now, go out and check on the others."
Lan Shuang opened the door and came out. She took a look and saw that the door of He Ping and Pei Jinzhi's room was still closed. She tried to open it, but found that it could not be turned, so she gave up.
She was not too worried about Pei Jinzhi. Pei Jinzhi was calm and smart and should be able to come out soon.
He Ping...the plot still needs him, Rose shouldn't kill anyone.
She went downstairs calmly and checked the time. The clock showed that twenty minutes had passed since she entered.
It was indeed very fast. The person in the small dark room would not come out for another forty minutes, so she simply went to the kitchen to boil water.
…
Lan Shuang stood in front of the kettle, listening to the sound of boiling water in a daze, when suddenly she heard footsteps behind her.
She thought it was the housekeeper, and planned to turn around suddenly to scare him, but she didn't expect that when she turned around, she found it was Wen Qingqing.
She was stunned for a moment, "It's you."
Wen Qingqing looked at her questioningly while holding the teddy bear backpack. "You look disappointed. What's wrong?"
Lan Shuang leaned lazily on the polished marble countertop. "I thought it was the butler and was going to scare him, but I didn't expect it to be you."
She glanced at Wen Qingqing and asked, "Why did you come down here? Aren't you scared, all by yourself?"
Wen Qingqing nodded: "I was scared, but I was very thirsty. I didn't dare to call the servants. I thought they would be more terrifying. So I wanted to boil a pot myself, but I didn't expect you to be here."
"Just right, I have something burning, let's drink together."
The kettle made a sound, Lan Shuang took it down and placed it on the coffee table in the living room, and Wen Qingqing washed a few clean cups and brought them over.
Hot water was poured into the cup and the two people sat next to each other.
"Why did you come out so soon? Aren't you going to be punished?" Wen Qingqing asked curiously.
"Because I broke the illusion." Lan Shuang explained it to her briefly, and Wen Qingqing nodded, seeming to understand. "You're amazing! I feel like you're the most amazing person here."
Lan Shuang raised an eyebrow: "Shouldn't it be Jiang Lusheng? He knows Taoism, but I don't."
Wen Qingqing shook her head, half-lowering her eyes as she stared at the water cup in her hand. "It's just a hunch. I think you're more capable."
Her ending tone was light and airy, with her special pronunciation habits.
Lan Shuang stared at her for a few seconds and was about to speak when the sound of a door opening was suddenly heard upstairs. They both looked up and saw that Pei Jinzhi's door was open.
She walked out with a pale face, and when she saw Lan Shuang sitting downstairs, her face suddenly changed, and she turned her head and retched.
Lan Shuang: “???”
After not seeing her for a while, she has developed the ability to induce vomiting?
