Chapter 205 End of the Main Text
Fortunately, he had props with him, which allowed him to teleport back urgently. In the end, the other party was cautious and did not dare to chase him. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether he could sit here now.
"Thank you for your concern. I am thinking about you every moment." The administrator's pretended caring tone sounded a bit disgusting, and it could not hide his evil intentions.
"Since you're here, when will your inauguration meeting be held?" the administrator asked, his mouth hidden beneath the cloth almost grinning from ear to ear. "Have you thought about adding any rules? This is your only chance. If they're reasonable, I'll try to vote in favor."
The administrator knew exactly what Ning Hanqi wanted. What she wanted was nothing more than something related to the ghost named Xia Yingnuan. The administrator had the power to add or change a rule at the beginning of his term, but the number of votes in favor among all administrators was greater than the number of votes against.
As far as He knew, the other four administrators would not show up for a long time. Absence meant abstention, so the only ones present who could vote were He and Ning Hanqi.
As long as he keeps voting against, Ning Hanqi will not be able to accomplish anything!
"No rush." Ning Hanqi was actually quite anxious. She was anxious to finish this matter and go back to find Nuannuan. "My matter can be put on hold for now."
"Oh?" Did she want to drag it on?
"After all, your matter is more important, so let's talk about your matter first." Ning Hanqi walked to his side.
"My business?" The administrator watched her approach step by step without dodging. He was sure that Ning Hanqi would not dare to attack him, otherwise she would be punished. Besides, the other party was just a projection and could not do anything.
Ning Hanqi put her hand on the other person's shoulder, and she clearly felt the body under her hand tense up.
The shadow that was torn off layer by layer like a thousand-layer pancake back then was still hidden in the administrator's heart. After Ning Hanqi approached, he almost fought back.
"I don't remember what else I need to deal with. Oh, right! This copy is over, and I have to rate the players." He noticed that the game on one of the light screens had ended, and there were only three survivors left.
"You can try to rate it. The game should have sent you the program." The administrator was not in a very good mood, so he casually clicked three low scores.
Ning Hanqi took a look and gave a high score, but the low scores next to it dragged it down, and the final overall score did not even reach 90.
But it doesn’t matter, soon the administrator’s score will not matter anymore.
After dealing with the players in the dungeon, the administrator looked up at Ning Hanqi. Her hand was still on his shoulder, and he felt something was wrong. "Is this what you are talking about?"
"Of course not." Ning Hanqi looked at him with a look as deep as a dark pool. Although she did not exude any trace of power or intimidation, she inexplicably made the administrator feel the urge to leave here quickly.
"It's some private matters, to be precise..."
Before Ning Hanqi could finish her words, the administrator suddenly broke free from her hand and quickly left his original position.
He looked at Ning Hanqi warily, not knowing what she was up to.
"You've done so many bad things that your victim has come to you for help." Ning Hanqi calmly withdrew his hand and finished speaking.
"Victim?" The administrator scoffed. He had indeed done many immoral things, but who had the ability to cause trouble for him? At most, Ning Hanqi could be added.
"Do you dare to see the victim?"
Why not?
The moment his mind moved, the administrator realized that something was wrong!
His consciousness accepted Ning Hanqi's invitation!
“Crash!”
Unable to escape, he and Ning Hanqi fell into the distorted space together, but after a moment he heard the sound of waves and the distant call of whales.
He remembered that there were indeed some particularly troublesome individuals among his victims, but he should not have torn his feelings with this whale yet. Wasn't that human still alive and well? Why did he suddenly turn against him?!
"When did you..." The administrator turned his head and found that Ning Hanqi's projection had turned into his real body at some point.
No, the other party has already ambushed here in advance!
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. After all, the rules don't allow it." Ning Hanqi's cold and indifferent voice echoed in his ears, "But I will ensure the fairness of this fight."
The elevator lights flickered again, and this time they finally came on again.
When the elevator door opened, it was pitch black outside and there was nothing.
Ning Hanqi narrowed her eyes slightly. The flickering light made it a little difficult for her to open her eyes, but even so, she was still keenly aware of the abnormality.
The elevator floor display board showed a number that absolutely didn't appear in this hotel - 4.
The elevator stopped at the nonexistent fourth floor.
A rolling heat wave hit, but Ning Hanqi felt a little cold.
"Little girl, I can't find my room. Can you show me the way?" An old voice sounded from behind her.
At some point, a ghostly figure appeared behind her.
Ning Hanqi tightened her grip on the dining cart slightly. A ghost appeared behind her but she didn't get any hint, which meant... Nuannuan was missing?
She subconsciously touched the puppet hanging on her chest. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual, so Nuannuan should be safe.
"Of course, can you show me your room card?" Ning Hanqi suppressed the anxiety in his heart caused by Xia Yingnuan's sudden disappearance, then turned around with a smile and looked at the old man who was as skinny as a dead tree trunk burned by fire, without showing any strange expression because of his appearance.
"Look at my card. It's clearly 516, but I can't swipe the card to open the door." The old man handed a room card to Ning Hanqi in his withered hand.
There were oil stains on the room card, probably that special kind of oil. Ning Hanqi inevitably touched it a little when she took it, but her expression remained natural.
After seeing the room card, Ning Hanqi knew it was the same old problem. This hotel is very large, and the guests are accommodated in two buildings. The building they are in now is Building 1, which is where the hotel lobby is located. In addition, there is a Building 2, which requires going out of Building 1 and walking through the corridor to reach it.
This old man was using the room card for Building 2 to look for a room in Building 1. Of course, he couldn't swipe the card to get in. This was also the most common problem she encountered among hotel guests.
"Building 2?" The old man's hoarse voice suddenly rose several pitches. He grabbed Ning Hanqi's wrist with such force that it almost broke her slender wrist bone. His eyes almost popped out of his head. "Where is Building 2? Little girl, can you take me there? I don't know the way."
Ning Hanqi had no room to refuse. The elevator door, which should have been closed long ago, had not been closed. She thought that as long as she said "no", the old man would drag her out. She was now on the non-existent fourth floor. Once she left the elevator, things would be troublesome.
"Of course, but please wait for me to call our supervisor and tell her." Ning Hanqi shook the phone in his other hand.
The old man nodded, signaling Ning Hanqi to make a quick phone call. Oh, right, I was planning to take her shopping for some clothes before entering the dungeon. Xia Yingnuan had almost forgotten about the administrator's affairs. Although she couldn't figure out the administrator's intentions for the time being, she still had to get on with her life.
There’s nothing wrong with going out to play. Xia Yingnuan lifted Ning Hanqi’s sleeve. The arm that was injured by the child before has now recovered. There is no trace of scar on the fair skin. The game’s repair program has taken effect.
Moreover, Ning Hanqi was in good spirits after coming out this time, unlike the previous two times when she looked half-dead. Does this mean that her physical condition is getting better step by step?
The Shan family had many vacant houses, so Xia Yingnuan chose a relatively quiet one to live in.
Everything she needs is here, and it has solved her urgent problem for now.
After taking a shower and sitting on the bed in her pajamas, Xia Yingnuan took out the bottle of strength-boosting water that she hadn't drunk. Although she didn't know if drinking it would turn her into a muscular woman, if she didn't drink it, she would be too weak and anyone could bully her.
After thinking about this, she unscrewed the lid and drank the water decisively. After drinking it, she smacked her lips and found it tasted quite good.
Unfortunately, before she could taste it for two seconds, her whole body began to burn, as if it was being roasted on fire. Then the tearing pain came over her, and she screamed in unbearable pain.
After fainting, she still had the thought in her mind, "Don't turn into a muscular woman."
She didn't know how long she had been in a coma. When Xia Yingnuan woke up, it was already dark. She thought it was only a few hours, but when she looked at the time, two days had passed.
Huo Ran sat up from the bed. His first reaction was to look at his body, but when he looked at his arms and legs, he found that they did not have the muscles he had imagined. His flesh just felt a little firmer, his hands were clenched, and his fists were stronger.
Wanting to know the extent of her own strength, Xia Yingnuan tried all the furniture in the house. Finally, when she could easily lift a large solid wooden bed, she was satisfied.
"I don't know where the limit of this power is." Xia Yingnuan muttered.
In the next few days, she hardly went out and kept watching the live broadcast on the Hell APP, killing time while waiting for the arrival of the next copy.
After we finished storing food at home that day and were about to go out shopping, the APP finally released a task.
[Ghost Marriage - Survival (C-Rank)]
[Mission Introduction: Huacun, a remote and mysterious village, where the villagers have lived for hundreds of years.
This small village has an ancient custom that for those who die without ever getting married, their families will arrange a marriage for them so that they can rest in peace in the underworld.
【Mission objective: survive and escape.】
Xia Yingnuan discovered that the APP now gave her fewer and fewer task descriptions and provided fewer clues. Could it be that it was because she was a novice that such benefits were given in the beginning?
However, she had to go to her destination when the mission started.
Before leaving, she moved the large solid wooden bed and gave herself more confidence before going out.
Huacun is a very remote place. It does not appear on normal maps, but it does appear on the map that comes with the Hell APP software.
She took the high-speed rail and the bus to a somewhat backward county town, which was more than ten miles away from Hua Village. Seeing that it was getting late and the mission was still early, she stayed in the county town.
The hotel was small and had no soundproofing. Xia Yingnuan listened to music that was over 18 all night. The next day, she went out with dark circles under her eyes and unexpectedly met an acquaintance.
"Boss!" Xia Yingnuan really didn't expect to see this handsome young man here.
Fu Zi saw her and nodded slightly, his attitude neither cold nor indifferent.
Xia Yingnuan didn't care. After all, the big boss had the capital to be aloof. She was about to go over when she accidentally saw a few people in the distance. Their clothes were obviously out of tune with the people in this county. But what concerned her most was that one of them was Gao Qiang!
What kind of bad luck did she have? How could she see him in every dungeon? And the person next to her looked familiar. It was Liu Xiaojuan from her first dungeon. Was this world too small, or were there too few people participating in dungeons?
"Boss, I'll get out of the way first." Xia Yingnuan said, and slipped away.
Fu Zi looked at her funny back as she ran away, then turned back to look at the people walking towards him.
After making sure they had run to a place where they wouldn't be discovered, Xia Yingnuan panted heavily and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "The saying 'You can escape the monk, but you can't escape the temple' really suits me."
At this moment, Xia Yingnuan did not forget to make fun of herself.
Hiding in the corner, Xia Yingnuan secretly watched Gao Qiang and his group talk to the boss and then leave. While she breathed a sigh of relief, she was also worried about the situation of her next copy.
She has rarely gone out these days in order to avoid encountering Gao Qiang and his group, but now it seems that she can't hide even if she wants to.
The mission time is to arrive at Hua Village before six o'clock tonight. It is only nine o'clock in the morning. In order to avoid colliding with Gao Qiang and others, Xia Yingnuan decided to set off now.
The entire county town is not big, and there are very few people who go to Hua Village for work. When people hear the name of this village, their eyes are a little evasive, and some are even afraid and wave their hands, saying they don’t know.
Just when Xia Yingnuan was at a loss, she saw Fu Zi again. He was talking to a driver. When he was about to get in the car, she immediately rushed over and said, "Wait, wait, I want to get in too."
The driver turned around and asked, "Girl, where are you going? My car may not be on the way."
"It's on our way. We're going together, right, boss?" Xia Yingnuan said and looked at Fu Zi beside her.
Fu Zi neither nodded nor shook his head.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the driver stopped talking. After all, he could earn one more person's money. As he started the car, he said it again, this time for Xia Yingnuan to hear, "I have a promise. I will only drive to the intersection outside the village. You can go the rest of the way by yourselves."
"No problem, Master, just go ahead." It was so hard to get someone going to Hua Village, so Xia Yingnuan naturally didn't ask for much.
At the beginning, the road was flat and Xia Yingnuan was in the mood to look at the scenery outside the window, but gradually, she no longer had the heart to look out the window because the car was too bumpy. She held the back of the front passenger seat tightly and was now being shaken out of the window.
"Master, this road is too shaky." Xia Yingnuan's mouth seemed to be electrified, and her voice was shaking.
"There's nothing we can do. We're too poor to afford road repairs," the driver said as he drove. "Besides, even if we did, it would be useless."
"How could it be Bai Xiu?" Xia Yingnuan said, "Now that the road is repaired, it will be convenient for travel."
"Little girl, you are here for adventure too, right?"
"Ah?" Xia Yingnuan was confused.
"This road only leads to Hua Village. People in Hua Village don't want to come out, and we outsiders don't want to go to Hua Village either."
"Why?" Xia Yingnuan was suddenly moved and asked pretending to be ignorant.
"I heard that Flower Village is very spooky." The driver looked around suspiciously, his voice unconsciously lowered, as if afraid of being overheard. "I heard someone saw ghost lights floating by there in the middle of the night. And these ghost lights were arranged in neat rows. It was really scary."
The paranormal phenomenon of will-o'-the-wisp has been scientifically proven, so there's nothing to be afraid of. However, the fact that they're arranged in such an orderly manner is a bit creepy.
"Are you okay?" Ning Hanqi rushed over immediately and pulled Chang Yue up. Seeing the familiar person, Chang Yue's heart, which had been beating wildly, felt a little relieved.
"I, I'm fine." Chang Yue shook her head, then quietly took a step back.
Help! It's fine that she was forced to take tutoring classes even though she had a day off today, but after finally finishing a few papers, Teacher Lu took her out to play and she actually ran into this dungeon boss! Is Mercury retrograde today?
Wait, isn’t Teacher Lu here to find them?
When Chang Yue discovered the Huadian, Ms. Lu, who noticed the commotion here, rushed over. She was holding a bag, which contained the deposit to be paid to Xia Yingnuan.
Congratulations to Chang Yue for guessing correctly.
Although the elevator door was open, there was obviously something wrong with the space outside. Ning Hanqi thought that the call might not be able to go through, but unexpectedly, it was connected.
The supervisor sneered after hearing Ning Hanqi's words. He was in a very bad mood and was unhappy about what others said. "Are you looking for an excuse to be lazy?"
Ning Hanqi didn't get angry either. She put the phone directly to the old man's ear and said, "Please tell our supervisor that I really want to take you to find a room. I'm not being lazy. Otherwise, the supervisor might not allow it..."
It takes a lot of evil to deal with an evil ghost. This old man is not simple and doesn't seem to have a good temper. It would be perfect to let him go directly to the supervisor.
Sure enough, the old man did not disappoint Ning Hanqi's expectations. With just a few words, he almost made the other party so angry that he almost came back to life. Even a supervisor cannot quarrel with a customer. In the end, he could only let Ning Hanqi send this trouble away and come back.
"It's not completely dark yet, so you don't need to take a raincoat. Remember to go and come back quickly. If you slack off outside, I can't guarantee what will happen. By the way, don't forget to push the car back." The supervisor hung up the phone after leaving a sentence that seemed both threatening and a reminder.
"Let's go, little girl." The old man's low and dry voice echoed in the non-existent fourth-floor corridor.
The elevator door slowly closed, and after being isolated from the heat wave outside, the cold chill swept over again.
The old man looked at Ning Hanqi for a second longer. She was so calm, as if he had stepped into her trap instead of her falling into his hands.
It wasn't completely dark yet, so it wasn't raining outside. Therefore, the supervisor could have simply not given the player a raincoat. If the player didn't come back in time, that was her own problem, and the supervisor hadn't violated the rules.
But the one Ning Hanqi was going to deliver this time was an old ghost with "inconvenient" legs and feet. It walked very slowly. Maybe it would speed up when it was chasing the players, but now it was like an ordinary old man. After getting out of the elevator, it moved forward step by step, which made people anxious.
The two buildings of the hotel are only a few hundred meters apart. Even if the old man dawdles, more than ten minutes is enough for him to reach the bottom of the second floor.
Back then, she was pushed into the pond by Xia Lao San. Her half-brother fished her body out of the pond and buried it nearby.
Her body is the core of this copy. If she wants to destroy herself and this copy together, this is the best breakthrough point.
The ring... I have never shown it to any player before. Only Ning Hanqi knows how important that thing is to me.
A strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
"ha……"
The other ghosts were all waiting for Xia Yingnuan's next order, but after waiting for a long time, they only heard the dungeon boss's self-deprecating chuckle.
The chuckle blended into the sobbing of the wind, as if she was laughing and crying at the same time.
Xia Yingnuan had long lost the ability to cry, only her eyes were slightly red.
She was deceived again.
As expected, it was not unfair for him to be deceived so easily.
But the only person she didn't want to lie to her was Ning Hanqi.
Xia Yingnuan left the other ghosts behind and slowly walked into the darkness. She did not give any instructions. When the other ghosts saw that the dungeon boss did not say anything, they all returned to their original places.
Her speed was not very fast, and the person by the pond did not make any movement, as if she was following her promise and waiting for Xia Yingnuan to come back.
By the pond, a fist-sized spiritual light was still floating around Ning Hanqi, illuminating her surroundings. Xiaolu tremblingly placed the ring in her hand, and then was kicked into the exit of the pond by Chang Yue.
"You...be careful." Chang Yue knew that what was going to happen next was not something an ordinary player like her could participate in. After leaving a polite word, she jumped into the pool without hesitation.
Not long after she left, a blood-red figure appeared by the pond.
Ning Hanqi was sitting on the ground, holding a skeleton in her arms. The skeleton's forehead was pierced by the dagger Xia Yingnuan gave her. The technique was perfect. She knew this copy almost like the back of her hand, and even such secrets were particularly clear to her.
Xia Yingnuan smiled, and the wind mixed with the sharp laughter passed across Ning Hanqi's face. Blood flowed down her cheek. The moment the sound passed by her ears, Ning Hanqi heard sobbing.
"Nuannuan..."
She put down the bones in her arms, stood up, and tried to stagger forward, not even bothering with the dagger she had for self-defense. She had no sharp weapons in her hands and looked as harmless as before. How could a weak rabbit hurt a ghost? But Ning Hanqi did it.
A strong wind blew towards her, and Ning Hanqi's weak body took several steps back.
Xia Yingnuan opened her scarlet eyes and clapped for her softly, her voice trembling slightly, "Congratulations, Ning Hanqi, I admit defeat."
