Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

"Use props?!"

"You think using props will make things work?!"

"【Invalidate】!!!"

"Buzz—"

A sudden ripple emanated from the slowly moving shadow, and the [Hua Jiu Mountain Incense] in An Lan's hand instantly burned out. The shadow's speed abruptly increased, and it was about to charge towards An Lan!

Can...

This time, An Lan was not flustered!

Because of the shift in the balance of power, the course of action has changed!

He started as a "wooden man," but then he moved and became a "mouth-maker"!

Then, because the monster couldn't stop the car from moving, An Lan is now a "wooden man" again!

Ignoring the shadow as it hurtled against him, An Lan's body developed layers of scales before he suddenly lunged at the monster's back!

"*** (3, 2, 1)!"

"*** (Statue)!"

"**(No)..."

This time, before the monster could finish speaking, An Lan slapped him across the back of his densely packed fingers!

"..."

The monster fell silent and slowly turned around, its gray eyes staring blankly at An Lan!

According to the rules, Anlan is now the winner!

"*******...*****..."

It seemed to be saying something that An Lan couldn't understand. Although An Lan couldn't understand it, he knew the rules of "Three, Two, One - Freeze!"

He smiled, then suddenly pointed towards the well opening, turned around, and began shouting loudly, "Three, two, one! Freeze!"

"*******!"

The monster seemed to understand, and immediately huffed and puffed as it ran down towards the well!

An Lan's meaning is quite clear!

The game has restarted. I'm now the [Kouren], so you need to keep your distance and go down into the well!

As the monster ran towards the well, the shadowy figure panicked!

(Damn! Damn! Damn!)

(An Lan! What the hell are you doing!?)

(You! You—)

"hehe..."

"To be able to use your abilities to follow them right under Long Ao's noses, you must have discussed something with him, right? You went down into the well alone? And activated your abilities from a distance, didn't you?"

"So... do you still have the leisure to kill me now?"

"Are you sure your real body won't get trampled to death?"

An Lan's leisurely voice rang out, and he had already headed deeper into the cave without any hesitation!

(you--)

The shadowy figure hesitated for a moment, then quickly retraced its steps!

[Holy crap! No wonder this scene looks so familiar! So this is how Emperor An Tian used to pick up girls?]

【Wait! I didn't even realize what was happening, how did they suddenly start playing "Three, Two, One, Freeze!" here?】

[Hiss—could it be that monster, the one who caused the karma?]

[No matter what, Emperor An is still Emperor An! They actually approved this?]

[Damn Indian! He'd better die at the hands of that monster!]

【...】

The comments section was filled with relief and joy at having survived such a disaster.

[Hey, pretty boy, how did you guess this thing would play "Red Light, Green Light" with you?]

The collar around my neck started bouncing rapidly.

After Mo Lengxin's surprised voice rang out, the system's voice followed.

【drop! 】

[The goddess and demon's affection for you has increased by 5!]

[Current favorability rating: 80 points!]

"I don't know! Just a gut feeling..."

"After all, we just played it during the day, and now, in such a short time, the actions, slogans, and behaviors are highly similar. It's hard for me not to think of 'Three, Two, One, Freeze!', isn't it?"

That's... true!

This monster, without a doubt, is...

"That's right!"

"It must be the missing Coptis chinensis..."

An Lan replied coldly, immediately ruling out the possibility that the monster was [Liao Ye]!

It's very simple!

If the monster is "Already Obtained Karma", there should be a "Favorability" rating above its head, right?

Besides Liaoye, the only one who would play "Statues" with her was Huanglian. Huanglian knew that the Buddhist beads were in another dimension, and she also knew that the beads were in Liaoye's room!

She disappeared while traveling a year ago?

So now, who else could be the monster trapped at the bottom of the well, trapped in front of the "Liaoye" table, playing "Three Two One - Wooden Man" besides "Huanglian"?

"she..."

"He probably wanted to get the prayer beads for [Liaoye], but ended up getting trapped at the bottom of a well..."

"Could it be that the longer one stays in this [alternate dimension], the more mutated one becomes?"

"That's true..."

"Last time, we didn't even make it back to the normal world..."

"If this place were restored... it might not be [Liaoye's] room anymore, but rather..."

[A dry well in a temple that has been filled in!]

The collar around her neck vibrated again, and An Lan nodded.

"That's right!"

"Only in this way can we explain why, if this place has been restored, [Huanglian] didn't return to the temple! She was buried alive and can't go back! She's trapped here...until...she dies!!!"

"Clang—"

Anlan walked up to the cabinet and opened it.

There was indeed a string of Buddhist prayer beads inside, which looked like it had been handled for a long time and was shiny and lustrous.

The instant I picked up the prayer beads!

The notification sound for the [Instance] dungeon opened right on time!

【drop--】

[You have found one of the six clues... Deliver the clue to an important person to gain partial access to the clue's memory!]

"ha?"

"So, this is to be handed over to [Liaoye]?!"

As An Lan pondered the matter, she brought the prayer beads to her eyes for a closer look and was surprised to smell a putrid odor.

"Damn it..."

"What exactly is this bead?"

Without daring to think further, An Lan hid the Buddhist beads in her chest and returned the way she came.

The monster that had been waiting for him to shout slogans hadn't returned yet. An Lan smiled, as if he had expected this scene!

That's right!

Do you remember the terrain at the bottom of the well?

Below the wellhead is a low-lying space; you have to walk a bit to reach the high-ceilinged cave!

Anlan led the monster down to the bottom of the well, so it couldn't see the environment on this side of the cave!

So!

Nobody plays "Red Light, Green Light" with the monster. The only thing the monster can see is the "Shudra" at the bottom of the well, right?

she...

What can they do?

"hastily!"

"An Lan! You bastard!"

"What exactly do you know?!"

"Damn it! Damn it!!!"

"..."

From afar, Anlan could hear the Shudra's screams...

......

Shift in perspective.

At this very moment, below the well, Shudra had awakened and was frantically climbing toward the nylon rope at the wellhead!

He dared not be negligent in the slightest!

because!

Just as the monster climbed to this point, after failing to hear An Lan shout "Three, two, one, freeze!", it looked into the waterway inside, then back at its own side...

then!

Tragedy has struck!

Suddenly the monster turned its back to him and shouted strange sounds like "***", "***", and "***"!

The Shudras weren't stupid either.

Having at least seen how An Lan played, he simply remained motionless. Once the monster saw that he wasn't moving and turned its head away again, he immediately ran towards the nylon rope!

"***!" "***!" "***!"

but!

After taking only two steps, the monster roared again!

Shudra paused, his hand holding the nylon rope, and immediately dared not move.

He stood at the bottom of the well, thinking that as long as he could make a sound, he could climb out.

As for whether or not to follow An Lan's example and pat the monster's back to switch identities?

Stop messing around!

If anything goes wrong with this thing, won't it make a "whoosh" sound and bite off your head?

Yes!

The Shadow-Stealing Divine Skill: The Hidden One is truly formidable!

[Nullify] is especially effective against those [Talented Individuals]!

Can...

This is a monster with a flesh body!

If the other party attacks you, is it useful to neutralize their attacks?

If the opponent rushes over, and I become a shadow, can I shatter the opponent's shadow?

Neither!

"hastily!"

"Anlan! Anlan!!!"

"That's the stuff of a petty person who's gotten their way!"

"You just wait! You let me out, and I'll see what you do—"

He cursed and swore, watching the monster turn its head again, and was just about to climb up the rope!

"Tap tap tap—"

"Tap tap tap—"

From inside the waterway, a figure with a bent back slowly emerged.

Anlan!

An Lan has arrived!!!

An Lan was initially very cautious as he approached, afraid that he might draw the monster's attention back to himself. But... once he got closer to the monster, he changed his mind!

monster...

Does he seem very afraid of himself?

As soon as An Lan got close to the monster, it trembled and curled up.

even!

He acted as if he hadn't seen An Lan at all, letting An Lan walk right past him!

"Oh?"

"It's not afraid of me..."

"Or are you afraid of those Buddhist prayer beads?"

An Lan seemed to understand something.

So he started swaggering around, becoming completely oblivious to his own family and friends!

Just as the monster turned around and looked at the motionless Shudra holding the nylon rope, An Lan quickly took two steps, came directly to the Shudra's side, and grinned at him!

"You! How come you're alright?!"

"Why doesn't it attack you?!"

"you--"

"You, you, you! What the hell are you talking about?!"

"You should die!"

Interrupting Shudra's surprise, Anlan's smile faltered, and her large, scale-covered hand immediately grabbed Shudra's shoulder and flung him directly toward the monster's face!

"BOOM!!!"

The heavy body was flung so hard that it left afterimages, and landed right in front of the monster!

Moved!

From the monster's perspective, Shudra moved right under its nose; the "wooden figure" violated the rules!

According to the rules!

The Shudra can still operate as long as he immediately transforms into a [mouth-maker]!

pity!

"Three, two, one!"

He was trying to do the same thing as An Lan...

"Puff puff puff—"

next moment!

close!

It's way too close!

The monster's bloodless face stared at Shudra before countless fingers shot out from its face, piercing through Shudra's face one by one...

"wood..."

Before he could even utter the word "human," several fingers pierced through the Shudra's throat! His eyes widened as he watched the countless fingers shove into his face, until finally... he whimpered and fell silent...

died!

Shudra, from the Hunger Squad, died at the hands of a dungeon monster.

No—No!!!

[An Lan! That damned An Lan! Why is he allowed to move around?!]

[I'm reporting! I'm reporting someone for cheating!!!]

【...】

The live stream from Shudra's first-person perspective immediately went black, and the chat exploded in an instant!

An Lan glanced at the disfigured corpse, thought for a moment, and then dragged it to the end of the nylon rope, binding it tightly! This corpse... its death would be a loss to the [Hunger Squad]...

but!

This is Wen Lan's fighting power!!!

After tying the rope securely, Anlan began to climb upwards along the nylon rope...

The string of Buddhist prayer beads in my pocket began to vibrate and heat up with a buzzing sound!

As An Lan climbed deeper into the well, the space inside became surreal, and fragments of images began to appear...

【"Forehead..."

"Forehead..."

"Forehead..."

"You...you guys..."

"Don't even think about it, don't even think about learning magic... You... you bunch of wolves in sheep's clothing..."

"I shouldn't have helped you in the first place..."
