Once out of danger, Xiao Lan and Hua Yan searched the white room.
After all, no one wants to miss out on the clues that might be hidden here.
However, this time the two remained tacitly agreed to each pick a direction to avoid unnecessary conflict. According to the agreed rules between players, whoever has the harvest in such a situation will be the one to blame, and those who don't find it can only blame their own luck.
The room was white from the furniture to the furnishings and looked as if it had been covered in snow.
As she walks, Xiao Lan takes a closer look at everything that appears in the room.
Suddenly, his eyes locked on a Little Xiao crystal ball ornament.
This crystal ball is filled with water and has some snowflakes placed at the bottom, so that if you shake it, a heavy snowfall will fall in this small world.
In the centre of the crystal ball is the modest Little Mu house.
Although only the size of a thumb, the way it just stayed in a patch of snow was almost identical to the Little Mu house that we saw earlier on that snowfield.
Xiao Lan picks up the crystal ball.
Sure enough, he found the exact same design on the bottom of the crystal ball as on the cover.
At the same instant, the cover of the book lights up again.
Almost identical to the one in the red room, this time it still lights up with 2 frames.
Xiao Lan is a little relieved that the grid given for the room is not random.
As a nonce, he was really worried that he only deserved one frame this time.

That's a real bummer.
A total of thirteen grids of covers have now lit up nine, just four short of all of them.
This means that two more rooms will be found, or ...... four dead players, and the pattern will all be lit.
It remains to be seen whether it will be a pass or a new stage of the game by then.
Hua Yan has also noticed this change.
She glanced in Xiao Lan's direction and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes, "That's right ......"
After lighting the grid, Xiao Lan and Hua Yan left the room without further ado.
Hua Yan took the lead in one direction and the two went their separate ways.
--
Just moments before Xiao Lan left the room, he once again heard the system prompt.
"The ravens have increased their attention to you."
"Congratulations to player Xiao Lan for being the most followed reader and receiving a [Random Reader Small Gift Pack]*1"
Xiao Lan: "......"
Why is the raven concerned about him?
Was it because he entered the special room twice in a row and came out alive?

Xiao Lan doesn't want the attention of the boss at all, really, and it sounds like he's going to die a quick death with all the flags stuck in him.
But then he was given a gift package.
He wasn't sure if this was considered lucky or unlucky anymore.
Xiao Lan took out the [Random Reader's Swag Bag] that had quietly appeared in his storage space.
Let's hope it's not something like Raven's autograph in there ......
Xiao Lan, scourged by Zhang Dong's autograph XX series, thinks so.
Fortunately, Mr. Crow, who is a well-known author and owns a mansion, is not a stingy guy.
The props that appear are.
[Name: Kryptonite?
[Ability: Consume random personal wealth to increase luck by a random percentage (50%-2000%) for 5 minutes (available for use 1/1 times)]
[Note: Kryptonite, the only means of saving the non-coms, can sometimes lead to bankruptcy]
Xiao Lan: "......"
How does it feel like you're being doubly mocked at the same time?
Not only was he poor, he was also a nonce.
But ......

Xiao Lan smiles confidently at the words "consume random personal wealth".
After you reach a point where you are poor, money is just a number to you.
Not only was he not afraid, he was even looking forward to it a little.
Xiao Lan put away [Kryptonite?], maybe sometime this will save him from his non-competitive fate.
It's the randomness that's a bit of a pain in the arse.
At this point, the Ming Yue Pavilion, which is handed out to players, once again takes a turn for the worse.
The cover flashes up and a new entry appears in the book: the
[The resentful avenger closes his eyes]
[Swept away all pain and sorrow in flames]
[Back to the quiet night]
Xiao Lan's breath caught in his throat...
"The resentful avenger".
Qi Ning was the first person that came to his mind.
Too few people are as full of hate as Qi Ning, and in a playground with limited numbers.
The odds of two Avengers appearing at the same time can't be said to be unheard of, but they're definitely not much higher either.
Advertisement
There is a high probability that the person who is going through a death crisis right now is Qi Ning.
The blinking pattern on the cover indicates that Qi Ning is okay for now, but also still in crisis.
Xiao Lan has no way of knowing the state of Qi Ning's side of the room due to the space separation, and he can only learn of Qi Ning's life and death through the changes in the book, just like the other players.
Qi Ning should not have fallen here given his prowess.
But in the playground, there are no absolutes.
There is no point in thinking about it now, so Xiao Lan puts the book away and moves on.
--
After walking for a while, Xiao Lan suddenly felt a connection from Luo.
Luo's handwriting appears on the envelope, still sinewy, as if it were a work of art.
[Sir, the progress of the previous cover has increased by two at the same time, did you do that? You weren't hurt, were you?
Xiao Lan Re.
[It's me, don't worry I'm fine.]
[Have you made any progress there?
Luo seems a little sorry.
[I'm sorry, I've been looking for a room that looks different, but it seems I've been unlucky and haven't come across one].
Advertisement
[It's like they're repelling me]
Xiao Lan was about to say something to comfort the other side.
But then it occurred to him - if it's hard for a lucky dog like Luo to come across these different rooms, but a non-competent like Xiao Lan keeps coming across them ......
It means that these rooms are simply a symbol of bad luck, right?
It seems so when you think about it.
You go in and go through double the danger and come out with no special reward, at most you increase your progress.
If one accidentally dies in there, it's contributing to the other players' progress through the level with their own heads.
It's a blood loss any way you think about it ......
The players who regularly encounter the room are more like the unlucky ones chosen by heaven than the lucky ones.
Xiao Lan was also rewarded for receiving the attention of the ravens, not for passing through the room.
Was it because he looked particularly unlucky that he caught the attention of the raven?!
So [random reader swag] is basically a consolation gift for the unlucky, right? ......
That's very thoughtful, Ms. Crow.
"......" As if knowing some kind of truth, Xiao Lan closed himself up.
Just then, Xiao Lan turned a corner and was about to continue.

His footsteps stopped abruptly.
The corridor just in front of him was odd.
While the walls are very dry, there is an even layer of water on the floor, which is so thin that it looks like you could casually step over it.
But the water looks calm and uneventful, yet has a somewhat odd texture as if it were dripping glue or glass.
The water takes up almost an entire corridor and if Xiao Lan wants to go up, he has to go through the area where it is.
As he was in contact with Luo, Xiao Lan described the strange scene he was experiencing to Luo.
A few moments later, Luo's reply appeared.
[This should be a ghost called Shui Mei by Crow]
[It looks like a thin layer of standing water, but when you step on it, you feel like you are in the deep sea].
[Shui Mei itself creates a strong pull to stop those in it from leaving]
[I deduce from the novel in which Shui Mei is based that Shui Mei itself is not very fast and it cannot hunt quickly, so it often hunts by ambush]
[Shui Mei attacks mainly by restraining and influencing the senses, which can be troublesome if captured]
[At the same time, it will move more slowly on a vertical surface than on a horizontal surface].
[I hope this helps. Please be careful, sir]
I have to say that with Luo as an all-round assistant, Xiao Lan feels as if she has a cheat sheet in her hand for her exams.
Advertisement
Shui Mei lies quietly dormant, as if waiting for her prey to throw itself into the net.
[Thanks]
Xiao Lan puts away the envelope for the moment.
He surveyed the area occupied by Shui Mei and looked at the walls on either side.
In the next instant, Xiao Lan leapt straight up and onto the wall.
The water on the floor was instantly filled with thin threads trying to catch Xiao Lan, but Xiao Lan had already leapt on the wall and leapt again to the other side of it.
After all that training, he's not the same guy who can't even get up the walls.
What's the big deal? What's the big deal?
The attack from the thin wire fell short but continued to attack as it followed Xiao Lan's figure.
--
During Xiao Lan's match with Shui Mei.
On the other hand, Luo has finished writing in the void and is waiting for Xiao Lan's reply.
Instead, a long, drawn-out footstep came from behind him.
It was a lazy-sounding sound that only came from dragging the soles of your shoes across the ground with every step you took.
As if space had overlapped in this instant, a figure stepped out of the void.
Advertisement
It was a dry, thin man, carrying a pair of hand-arm-length scissors, fairly tall in bone structure, but just so thin that at a glance it hardly looked like a living person.
His face is densely tattooed, making it impossible to see his original features, only a pair of cloudy eyes.
Luo did not turn back to the visitor.
It was more important for him to wait for news from his own husband.
However, when the visitor saw Luo, a light of excitement shone in his otherwise cloudy eyes.
"It's you!" There was a surprising amount of surprise in his hoarse voice, as if he had come across a treasure by accident.
Luo reluctantly parted his eyes a little: "You are?"
"Heh, heh, heh, heh ......" The visitor did not reply, but laughed to himself.
He laughed louder and louder, so that his whole body trembled, as if something extremely rare and good had happened.
Luo didn't say anything, just looked at the nervous guy indifferently.
When he is not around Xiao Lan, he is still elegant and well mannered, but he always looks a little less alive.
For example, now.
The visitor laughed out loud for a while before finally straightening up.
He wiped the drool from his mouth and stared lustfully into Luo's eyes: "It's the eyes that taste the best, but that fat pig doesn't know that! Fat pig with no taste! Greasy brains are no better than eyes full of moisture ......"
There are a lot of crazy people in the senior field.
Advertisement
Should I say that I am not ashamed to say that things come in small groups?
This guy and the brain-flower guy from earlier were obviously all the way there and looked like they had some friendship.
But the way this one carries the call of the dead fat pig shows that their friendship seems to be a bit plastic.
He opened and closed the scissors in his hand with force, the "click", "click" sound echoing in the air with a cold, crisp sound.
Luo's expression remains unchanged.
The visitor, however, was unimpressed: "You have such beautiful eyes, such a black colour, like obsidian, it's perfect."
"It makes me want to - eat - it - down ~"
He took a step in towards Luo, "Ah yes, where is that boy you were with earlier? His eyes look delicious as well, so clear, they must be full of elasticity ......"
He said as he licked his scissors, "You're all newbies who just upgraded, right, heh heh heh ...... How about if you tell me that kid's weakness, I'll let you walk away a little sore?"
The moment that phrase fell.
Luo's good-looking brow furrowed, this guy, coveting someone he shouldn't.
His originally black eyes transformed for a moment to light gold.
The pale gold eyes reflect a jewel-like lustre in the light, but inside they are full of murderous intent.
Luo finally turned to stare at him, his tone cold: "What do you want to do to my master?"
The visitor felt the killing intent that met his face and made his skin tingle slightly, but his expression became even more excited.
Advertisement
He didn't pay any attention to what Luo said: "This eye!!! Oh! It's beautiful!!! It's fantastic!!! How could you hide it!!!"
"Give it to me! Give it to me now!!!"
His eyes were red with excitement and he couldn't hold back any longer, lunging towards Luo at full speed.
--
Xiao Lan dodges the attack of Shui Mei's thin silk with ease.
His movements were agile to the extreme, each step touching the wall without affecting his speed in any way.
Behind her, Shui Mei's attacks became more and more violent, but they could not reach Xiao Lan.
Finally, a whole corridor comes around the corner and the floor occupied by Shui Mei comes to an end.
After another hard stomp on the wall, Xiao Lan left the area under Shui Mei's control.
The thin wire waved behind him in a vain, angry arc through the air.
Xiao Lan landed and waved goodbye to Shui Mei's area, exasperating Shui Mei by slapping the ground hard again.
After the tumultuous operation, he quickly moved away from the area.
After making sure the area was safe, Xiao Lan took out the envelope.
[I'm fine, thanks to your analysis]
A few seconds later, Luo's reply reappeared, in the same elegant handwriting as before.
[It was my pleasure]
And at the moment there was a man lying at his feet.
His scissors and the hand that held them were gone, his body was corrupted by an unknown force, his eyes were hollow.
But he is not dead yet.
He seemed a little disoriented, his face all horrified, but his mouth was laughing nervously, "Hahaha ...... hahaha ...... hahahaha ...... "
Luo did not react in the slightest to the spectacle.
He leaves without a trace, occasionally writing a few words in the air that only he and Xiao Lan can see.
The usual elegant smile is on the corner of his mouth.
All that could be heard on the floor was the unhurried sound of footsteps fading away in the corridor.
The world in perception fades to silence ......
--
Not long afterwards.
Xiao Lan opened the Ming Yue Pavilion during a chat with Luo.
The blinking of the cover has stopped and is lit up for a frame.
Is something wrong with Qi Ning? Xiao Lan was so frightened that she quickly opened the book.
As a result, the page in the book that belongs to Qi Ning has changed.
The original has been crossed out and changed to read.
[The Avengers will continue to walk alone in the dark]
[Eternal Sinking]
This means that Qi Ning is out of danger.
Xiao Lan breathes a sigh of relief as he stares at the extra square on the cover, who is this dead?
The entire cover is now lit up with 10 grids.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Once out of danger, Xiao Lan and Hua Yan searched the white room.
After all, no one wants to miss out on the clues that might be hidden here.

storage space.Let's hope it's not something like Raven's autograph in there ......Xiao Lan, scourged by Zhang Dong's autograph XX series, thinks so.Fortunately, Mr. Crow, who is a well-known author and owns a mansion, is not a stingy guy.The props that appear are.Name: Kryptonite?Ability: Consume random personal wealth to increase luck by a random percentage 50%-2000% for 5 minutes available for use 1/1 timesNote: Kryptonite, the only means of saving the non-coms, can sometimes lead to bankruptcyXiao Lan: "......"How does it feel like you're being doubly mocked at the same time?Not only was he poor, he was also a nonce.But ......AdvertisementXiao Lan smiles confidently at the words "consume random personal wealth".After you reach a point where you are poor, money is just a number to you.Not only was he not afraid, he was even looking forward to it a little.Xiao Lan put away Kryptonite?, maybe sometime this will save him from his non-competitive fate.It's the randomness that's a bit of a pain in the arse.At this point, the Ming Yue Pavilion, which is handed out to players, once again takes a turn for the worse.The cover flashes up and a new entry appears in the book: theThe resentful avenger closes his eyesSwept away all pain and sorrow in flamesBack to the quiet nightXiao Lan's breath caught in his throat..."The resentful avenger".Qi Ning was the first person that came to his mind.Too few people are as full of hate as Qi Ning, and in a playground with limited numbers.The odds of two Avengers appearing at the same time can't be said to be unheard of, but they're definitely not much higher either.AdvertisementThere is a high probability that the person who is going through a death crisis right now is Qi Ning.The blinking pattern on the cover indicates that Qi Ning is okay for now, but also still in crisis.Xiao Lan has no way of knowing the state of Qi Ning's side of the room due to the space separation, and he can only learn of Qi Ning's life and death through the changes in the book, just like the other players.Qi Ning should not have fallen here given his prowess.But in the playground, there are no absolutes.There is no point in thinking about it now, so Xiao Lan puts the book away and moves on.--After walking for a while, Xiao Lan suddenly felt a connection from Luo.Luo's handwriting appears on the envelope, still sinewy, as if it were a work of art.Sir, the progress of the previous cover has increased by two at the same time, did you do that? You weren't hurt, were you?Xiao Lan Re.It's me, don't worry I'm fine.Have you made any progress there?Luo seems a little sorry.I'm sorry, I've been looking for a room that looks different, but it seems I've been unlucky and haven't come across one.AdvertisementIt's like they're repelling meXiao Lan was about to say something to comfort the other side.But then it occurred to him - if it's hard for a lucky dog like Luo to come across these different rooms, but a non-competent like Xiao Lan keeps coming across them ......It means that these rooms are simply a symbol of bad luck, right?It seems so when you think about it.You go in and go through double the danger and come out with no special reward, at most you increase your progress.If one accidentally dies in there, it's contributing to the other players' progress through the level with their own heads.It's a blood loss any way you think about it ......The players who regularly encounter the room are more like the unlucky ones chosen by heaven than the lucky ones.Xiao Lan was also rewarded for receiving the attention of the ravens, not for passing through the room.Was it because he looked particularly unlucky that he caught the attention of the raven?!So random reader swag is basically a consolation gift for the unlucky, right? ......That's very thoughtful, Ms. Crow."......" As if knowing some kind of truth, Xiao Lan closed himself up.Just then, Xiao Lan turned a corner and was about to continue.AdvertisementHis footsteps stopped abruptly.The corridor just in front of him was odd.While the walls are very dry, there is an even layer of water on the floor, which is so thin that it looks like you could casually step over it.But the water looks calm and uneventful, yet has a somewhat odd texture as if it were dripping glue or glass.The water takes up almost an entire corridor and if Xiao Lan wants to go up, he has to go through the area where it is.As he was in contact with Luo, Xiao Lan described the strange scene he was experiencing to Luo.A few moments later, Luo's reply appeared.This should be a ghost called Shui Mei by CrowIt looks like a thin layer of standing water, but when you step on it, you feel like you are in the deep sea.Shui Mei itself creates a strong pull to stop those in it from leavingI deduce from the novel in which Shui Mei is based that Shui Mei itself is not very fast and it cannot hunt quickly, so it often hunts by ambushShui Mei attacks mainly by restraining and influencing the senses, which can be troublesome if capturedAt the same time, it will move more slowly on a vertical surface than on a horizontal surface.I hope this helps. Please be careful, sirI have to say that with Luo as an all-round assistant, Xiao Lan feels as if she has a cheat sheet in her hand for her exams.AdvertisementShui Mei lies quietly dormant, as if waiting for her prey to throw itself into the net.ThanksXiao Lan puts away the envelope for the moment.He surveyed the area occupied by Shui Mei and looked at the walls on either side.In the next instant, Xiao Lan leapt straight up and onto the wall.The water on the floor was instantly filled with thin threads trying to catch Xiao Lan, but Xiao Lan had already leapt on the wall and leapt again to the other side of it.After all that training, he's not the same guy who can't even get up the walls.What's the big deal? What's the big deal?The attack from the thin wire fell short but continued to attack as it followed Xiao Lan's figure.--During Xiao Lan's match with Shui Mei.On the other hand, Luo has finished writing in the void and is waiting for Xiao Lan's reply.Instead, a long, drawn-out footstep came from behind him.It was a lazy-sounding sound that only came from dragging the soles of your shoes across the ground with every step you took.As if space had overlapped in this instant, a figure stepped out of the void.AdvertisementIt was a dry, thin man, carrying a pair of hand-arm-length scissors, fairly tall in bone structure, but just so thin that at a glance it hardly looked like a living person.His face is densely tattooed, making it impossible to see his original features, only a pair of cloudy eyes.Luo did not turn back to the visitor.It was more important for him to wait for news from his own husband.However, when the visitor saw Luo, a light of excitement shone in his otherwise cloudy eyes."It's you!" There was a surprising amount of surprise in his hoarse voice, as if he had come across a treasure by accident.Luo reluctantly parted his eyes a little: "You are?""Heh, heh, heh, heh ......" The visitor did not reply, but laughed to himself.He laughed louder and louder, so that his whole body trembled, as if something extremely rare and good had happened.Luo didn't say anything, just looked at the nervous guy indifferently.When he is not around Xiao Lan, he is still elegant and well mannered, but he always looks a little less alive.For example, now.The visitor laughed out loud for a while before finally straightening up.He wiped the drool from his mouth and stared lustfully into Luo's eyes: "It's the eyes that taste the best, but that fat pig doesn't know that! Fat pig with no taste! Greasy brains are no better than eyes full of moisture ......"There are a lot of crazy people in the senior field.AdvertisementShould I say that I am not ashamed to say that things come in small groups?This guy and the brain-flower guy from earlier were obviously all the way there and looked like they had some friendship.But the way this one carries the call of the dead fat pig shows that their friendship seems to be a bit plastic.He opened and closed the scissors in his hand with force, the "click", "click" sound echoing in the air with a cold, crisp sound.Luo's expression remains unchanged.The visitor, however, was unimpressed: "You have such beautiful eyes, such a black colour, like obsidian, it's perfect.""It makes me want to - eat - it - down ~"He took a step in towards Luo, "Ah yes, where is that boy you were with earlier? His eyes look delicious as well, so clear, they must be full of elasticity ......"He said as he licked his scissors, "You're all newbies who just upgraded, right, heh heh heh ...... How about if you tell me that kid's weakness, I'll let you walk away a little sore?"The moment that phrase fell.Luo's good-looking brow furrowed, this guy, coveting someone he shouldn't.His originally black eyes transformed for a moment to light gold.The pale gold eyes reflect a jewel-like lustre in the light, but inside they are full of murderous intent.Luo finally turned to stare at him, his tone cold: "What do you want to do to my master?"The visitor felt the killing intent that met his face and made his skin tingle slightly, but his expression became even more excited.AdvertisementHe didn't pay any attention to what Luo said: "This eye!!! Oh! It's beautiful!!! It's fantastic!!! How could you hide it!!!""Give it to me! Give it to me now!!!"His eyes were red with excitement and he couldn't hold back any longer, lunging towards Luo at full speed.--Xiao Lan dodges the attack of Shui Mei's thin silk with ease.His movements were agile to the extreme, each step touching the wall without affecting his speed in any way.Behind her, Shui Mei's attacks became more and more violent, but they could not reach Xiao Lan.Finally, a whole corridor comes around the corner and the floor occupied by Shui Mei comes to an end.After another hard stomp on the wall, Xiao Lan left the area under Shui Mei's control.The thin wire waved behind him in a vain, angry arc through the air.Xiao Lan landed and waved goodbye to Shui Mei's area, exasperating Shui Mei by slapping the ground hard again.After the tumultuous operation, he quickly moved away from the area.After making sure the area was safe, Xiao Lan took out the envelope.I'm fine, thanks to your analysisA few seconds later, Luo's reply reappeared, in the same elegant handwriting as before.It was my pleasureAnd at the moment there was a man lying at his feet.His scissors and the hand that held them were gone, his body was corrupted by an unknown force, his eyes were hollow.But he is not dead yet.He seemed a little disoriented, his face all horrified, but his mouth was laughing nervously, "Hahaha ...... hahaha ...... hahahaha ...... "Luo did not react in the slightest to the spectacle.He leaves without a trace, occasionally writing a few words in the air that only he and Xiao Lan can see.The usual elegant smile is on the corner of his mouth.All that could be heard on the floor was the unhurried sound of footsteps fading away in the corridor.The world in perception fades to silence ......--Not long afterwards.Xiao Lan opened the Ming Yue Pavilion during a chat with Luo.The blinking of the cover has stopped and is lit up for a frame.Is something wrong with Qi Ning? Xiao Lan was so frightened that she quickly opened the book.As a result, the page in the book that belongs to Qi Ning has changed.The original has been crossed out and changed to read.The Avengers will continue to walk alone in the darkEternal SinkingThis means that Qi Ning is out of danger.Xiao Lan breathes a sigh of relief as he stares at the extra square on the cover, who is this dead?The entire cover is now lit up with 10 grids.
