Chapter 9, the second night



Just as Lin Changqing picked up the microphone to use his second prompt, he saw Jiang Ran wag his finger toward the camera.

Is this a signal that he shouldn't waste the opportunity?

Lin Changqing was extremely anxious. The information Jiang Ran had now was even less than what Weipus had back then, and he was worried that Jiang Ran's confidence stemmed from this!

If Jiang Ran's next move is the same as Weipus's, then Lin Changqing will definitely use up this opportunity to give him a hint!

"Because the key actually has a protrusion, anyone who pays attention can find the key without opening any other books."

"In this way, if the black page and the key are not in the same book, then it loses its meaning and cannot be considered a major threat at all."

Jiang Ran revealed the true nature of the danger in just two sentences, but everyone was still worried for him. Weipus also knew this information, but he still couldn't escape the final move.

Everyone had almost forgotten to breathe when Jiang Ran spoke again: "No, that's not enough. If I had created this rule, I would have put the black page and the key in the same place!"

This possibility is not 100%, but since we've guessed it, we absolutely cannot let our guard down!

"Brother Jiang is awesome!"

Jiang Ran actually deduced the correct answer without any hints. Lin Changqing put down the microphone he was holding tightly, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

However, there are always some unpleasant things to say at times like these.

"So what if he guesses it? Does he dare to turn to that page? It's the same if he doesn't get the key. He can't just shoot the book with his gun, can he?"

Despite the constant mockery and skepticism, Lin Changqing decided to believe Jiang Ran!

Jiang Ran in the picture has already begun the next move!

He simply shook the book with one hand, and the key fell out of the book's compartment, making a crisp sound on the ground.

Right, the key isn't glued to the book, so just shake it and it'll come out.

If all else fails, just close your eyes and go get it. As long as you don't see the black page, there won't be any problems.

The live stream room fell silent.

"Do you think... it's possible that we've been overcomplicating things from the start?"

"It's all their fault for flipping through books! They completely misled us!"

The Northern Alliance observer spat out the boiling water he had just drunk. He had been comforting himself that even using his talent wouldn't be a loss given how dangerous the rules were, but now it seemed like they were dangerous for nothing!

Jiang Ran tossed the book aside, picked up the key from the ground, and left the study since there were no other resources left.

In many cases, it's not that the ghost story tellers aren't smart enough, but rather that they're too nervous and unable to think calmly.

The pressure faced by ghost storytellers in this world where their lives could be taken at any moment is incomparable to that of netizens watching the live stream!

Jiang Ran returned to the living room and continued eating the unfinished instant noodles. Since they had completely cooled down, she rinsed them again with hot water.

The flavor was undoubtedly much bland, but no matter how unpalatable it was, it was still a precious food.

On the other side, Sato Hitoshi's stomach was growling with hunger. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and he was searching the whole house for something to eat!

As for the key to the last room, there are currently no rules specifying where to go, so he simply put it out of his mind and would look for it when the rules reminded him!

"The bookshelf is haunted; you absolutely mustn't touch it!"

After some searching, he found himself back in front of the toilet.

"Wait, why am I here looking for food?!"

Japanese netizens were speechless, realizing that while others had ghost storytellers, theirs were comedians.

He's searched practically every nook and cranny, but where is the food?!

"Could there be a secret room?"

After another half hour of searching, Sato Hiten finally found a hidden door under the bed in the bedroom. He was so excited that he immediately looked up and bumped into the bed with a bang!

In fact, most ghost story tellers found the basement passage. The room is only so big, and if they couldn't find it after searching everywhere, they should have thought there would be a hidden door.

Sato Hiten hurriedly pushed open the large bed and rushed down to the basement!

As he walked, he suddenly felt that he had stepped on something.

Looking down, he saw that it was actually a human skin as thin as a carpet! And two eyes on it were staring right at him!

Individual ID 250——

"This is the first time I've been flattened like this!"

Malice!

The individual before us is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous and bizarre creatures among all individuals, because it possesses killing methods comparable to the rules of the game!

Get too close and it will melt; look at it again and it will explode!

Now that Sato Hitaka has stepped on him, the outcome is self-evident.

"Backtrack! Backtrack!"

Rewind to before he entered the basement. Sato Hitaka instinctively took two steps back, lost his balance, and fell to the ground!

He had used up his three chances to turn back time, and he no longer had the courage to venture into the basement. He didn't even dare to enter the bedroom, fearing that the thing might crawl up from below!

Unable to obtain food, Sato Hiten had no choice but to leave after clearing the level tonight, which was better than dying here himself.

He quickly locked the bedroom door from the inside, then ran to the bathroom, hugged the toilet, and cried bitterly, "Little brother! I can't avenge you anymore!"

Time flew by, and night fell!

Jiang Ran lay half-reclined on the sofa, while Little Red Riding Hood, whom he was talking about, had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Little Red Riding Hood's opponent then unleashed Blue Silver Entanglement..."

As Jiang Ran was speaking, two rules suddenly emerged.

[Rule Seven: Please feed your kitten before 10:00 PM, and please stay with your kitten tonight.]

Rule 8*: Please treat kittens kindly. In some situations, kittens will protect you, but they are not trustworthy.

"Let's go, buddy, we've got work to do again!"

"Please tell me more, please tell me more!"

Gwen felt that there was no need to kill this guy so quickly; she was still quite curious about what Little Red Riding Hood was going to do next.

"Hmm! He's reached the Nascent Soul stage! We'll figure out a way to kill him after he talks about the Nascent Soul stage!"

Both rules are related to kittens. It's obvious that Jiang Ran didn't see any kittens in the room, so there's only one truth—the kitten is in the last room!

Jiang Ran picked up the key and opened the door to the last room. He had guessed that this room would be the second bedroom, but now it seemed to be the pet room.

A long-haired, jet-black cat sat quietly on the windowsill, grooming itself. Hearing the noise at the door, it instantly turned its head and met Jiang Ran's gaze!

Its eyes gleamed with an eerie light, just like... a human!
