Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

Wang Mingyue was also handcuffed and is currently sitting side by side with Yi Zanglan in a police car. A middle-aged policeman is driving in front, while another young policeman is watching them from the back seat.

The police car sped through the thick fog, and the more she thought about it, the more uncertain she felt. She couldn't help but look at Yi Zanglan beside her.

Yi Zanglan was looking at the young policeman with a smiling, gentle expression, seemingly lost in thought.

"Lanlan," she whispered a reminder, "once you're in the police station, it won't be so easy to get out."

"Who said I was going to the police station?"

"So you need to..."

"Let's get started."

Without any warning, those three simple words sounded like a battle cry.

The next second, the metal chain in the middle of Yi Zanglan's handcuffs suddenly tightened. She leaned forward, using the chain to grip the young policeman's throat, twisting her arms at a tricky angle, and pressing him firmly to the ground.

She locked onto the other person, leaned back with force, and with a crisp "crack," her neck bone was broken.

The young policeman didn't even have time to struggle before he lay there motionless.

"Find the key," Yi Zanglan calmly ordered.

"……good!"

Although Wang Mingyue was mentally prepared, she was still speechless with shock when she witnessed Yi Zanglan swiftly and decisively kill an NPC at close range.

Not wanting to hold her back, she quickly reached into the young policeman's pocket, trying to find the handcuff key.

In just two or three seconds, the middle-aged policeman driving saw the tragedy in the back seat through his rearview mirror. He was furious and immediately burst into a string of curses mixed with local dialect.

Yi Zanglan didn't care what he was cursing. She clenched her hands and repeatedly struck the back of his head with the edge of the handcuffs. Then she pulled out a dagger from her bosom and stabbed him through the carotid artery.

Blood spurted out, instantly turning the glass a horrifying dark red. The middle-aged policeman slumped in the passenger seat, completely dead.

She leaned over, quickly grabbed the steering wheel, and steered the police car, which was about to go out of control, back onto the right track.

……

Outside the game.

Yi Zanglan's live stream is gaining popularity rapidly. Many new viewers have just entered the room and have already witnessed the bloody scene of her killing two NPCs while being handcuffed.

[Amazing! Absolutely amazing!]

[This is a newcomer?! This guy's a newcomer?!]

I still need to mentally prepare myself to kill an NPC! How come she did it like it was nothing!

The veteran players who regularly watch the live stream felt a subtle sense of pride, completely forgetting how they had bet on Yi Zanglan's death.

[Sisters and brothers, you won't regret investing in this! This is a promising stock highly recommended by the Cursed Master, a rising star in the mental hospital!]

[I haven't seen such an enthusiastic new player in a long time. Just her sitting there without moving is exciting to watch; it feels like someone's about to be in trouble.]

To be honest, judging by her madness, I don't think this is her first time killing someone; she seems quite experienced...

Could she have ended up in a mental hospital because of... that thing?!

* * * * * *

Yi Zanglan gradually slowed down and parked the police car in a secluded alley in the town.

The strong smell of blood inside the car was nauseating. She slightly opened the car window to let in some air before turning to look at Wang Mingyue.

"Did you find it?"

"Found it." Wang Mingyue took out the key from the young policeman's pocket, unlocked Yi Zanglan's handcuffs first, and then unlocked her own.

She casually removed the young policeman's hat and covered his distorted, shocked, dead face.

"Lanlan, do you need the bullets from their guns?"

The instructions for using the exorcism gun clearly state that any bullet fired from this gun is sufficient to eliminate evil spirits.

You might be able to find them elsewhere in town, but getting bullets from the police is definitely the quickest way, though you have to get involved and take some risks.

Yi Zanglan was examining the middle-aged policeman's pistol. She skillfully removed the magazine, took out the bullets, and replaced them with the exorcism gun.

Fortunately, the hospital gown was loose enough that no one noticed she had a gun tucked in her arms before she arrived, and even a knife.

"Yes," she nodded calmly, "What else?"

Wang Mingyue didn't dare ask her why she was so knowledgeable about guns, she only dared to ask questions related to the game mission: "If we go back to the two-story building, Li Shuo and the others might become suspicious."

"Why go back?"

"Huh? You're not going back?"

Yi Zanglan smiled, lowering his eyes to examine the gun in his hand: "Let's wait, they'll come looking for us."

Wang Mingyue thought and thought. Her mind was a little confused for the moment, but she still remembered some questions that had been on her mind.

"By the way, Lanlan, don't you think Yang Chi... is acting strange today?"

Yang Chi buttoned up all the buttons on his floral shirt, trying to cover something up, as if he was deliberately concealing something.

Moreover, even though Sun Qianqian only lightly touched him, his eyes looked like he wanted to devour her, and his counterattack was exceptionally fierce.

He wasn't like this before; it's like he's been possessed by some dirty thing.

Possessed by something dirty...

The thought sent a chill down Wang Mingyue's spine, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Do you think Yang Chi might already be...?"

Yi Zanglan didn't answer, but smiled and asked in return, "What was written on the note after the puppet was burned last night?"

"Trade-in for a new one, double death?"

"What does 'trade-in' mean?" Yi Zanglan subtly suggested, "For example, if an old wooden puppet is burned, then it would need to..."

Wang Mingyue suddenly realized: "We need a new puppet to replace it!"

Undoubtedly, Yang Chi became this unfortunate new puppet.

The real Yang Chi is dead, most likely last night.

"So, now that we've run out, we're actually safer, right?" Wang Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. "But how long do we have to wait? Lanlan, have you already opened that metal box?"

"It's open."

Yi Zanglan did not deny it; she took out a small gold key from her pocket.

Wang Mingyue leaned closer to examine it, her eyes brightening slightly: "This could very well be the key to unlocking the final mission location!"

"Um."

"Can you pinpoint the final mission location?"

"able."

After saying that, Yi Zanglan yawned, rested his head on the middle-aged policeman's corpse, and began to close his eyes to rest.

Wang Mingyue: "..."

She really couldn't understand this woman, and of course, she didn't want to understand her. If she did, her own death might be imminent.

She had no other wish than to clear the game. Judging from the current situation, Yi Zanglan definitely had the ability to help her clear the game.

To survive, she wouldn't say a word she shouldn't.

……

The daylight hours in this game were getting shorter and shorter; it was almost as if we had just taken a nap before the town was completely dark.

With the dark moon hanging in the sky, something is bound to happen on such an eerie night.

Wang Mingyue waited anxiously for a long time until Yi Zanglan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze clear, and he was no longer sleepy at all.

"Let's go." Yi Zanglan opened the car door and got out, calmly instructing, "I hope we can keep pace."

The subtext is: follow along if you can, and if something goes wrong, you won't have to go back to pick up the pieces.

Wang Mingyue quickly agreed and followed closely, not daring to fall behind even a step.

Under the cover of night, the two made their way forward. As they passed the corner of a house, Yi Zanglan suddenly stopped.

Wang Mingyue almost crashed into it because she couldn't stop in time. She nervously looked over, and her expression froze the next moment. She was so frightened that her heart almost stopped.
