chapter 1
In the evening, in a remote town in the wilderness. The setting

sun was about to sink into the horizon, and the afterglow could no longer completely cover the town. Rows of dilapidated houses were hidden in the shadows, bleak and gloomy, as if they would be swallowed by darkness in the next second.

At the end of the town, there was a three-story brick building, isolated from the world.

Fu Lanyu stood by the window, looking at the sky outside that was getting darker and darker. After a while, he sighed very seriously.

"Oh, I don't know if they provide meals here."

The short-haired girl who was traveling with her stared at her with surprise and doubt: "It's already this time, and you're still thinking about eating?"

"You have to eat, otherwise what if you starve to death after living here for so many days?" Fu Lanyu answered slowly, "So you...eh, what's your name?"

Girl: "...My name is Xiaohui."

"Oh, Xiaohui." Fu Lanyu nodded, "You've only traveled through time once before, so it's normal that you're not used to it. As you travel through time more times in the future, your appetite will naturally get better."

Xiaohui: "No, I'm not as adaptable as you."

While the two were talking, they heard another noise coming from outside. It seemed that a group of young men and women were arguing about something, and there was also the sound of a girl crying.

"Where is this place? How did I get here from school? I just went to the cafeteria to get a meal..."

A man said impatiently: "Can you stop crying? Who the hell doesn't come here suddenly? I'm just looking for the way!"

Another said: "Damn, this place is so gloomy, is it haunted?"

Xiaohui in the room smiled bitterly: "It's more than haunted..."

Fu Lanyu closed the window casually.

"It looks like a group of newcomers, newer than you."

Before he finished speaking, the group of young people pushed open the door of the brick building.

"Strange, other residents' doors can't be opened even if they are knocked, but this one is locked."

The girl who cried first saw Fu Lanyu and Xiaohui at a glance, hesitated for a moment, and spoke carefully.

"Excuse me...are you the owners of this place?"

"No, we just came in casually."

After saying that, Fu Lanyu's eyes, as sharp as X-rays, quickly swept over the group of people.

There were four men and two women, three of whom, along with the crying girl, should have come in alone; the couple standing together at the back were obviously a couple, who spoke little and were looking around cautiously.

Well, there were eight people this time, which was not a bad number.

Who knew that just when she came to this conclusion, she saw a young man in a black shirt walking in from the door at a leisurely pace.

Now there were nine people.

As soon as the man entered the room, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone present - especially the opposite sex.

Even the girl who had been sobbing stopped crying at this moment, and stared at him blankly with red eyes.

After all, he was too good-looking, with fine eyebrows, handsome eyes, red lips and white teeth. He could almost be described as exquisite and beautiful, but exquisite but not feminine, like a work of art carved from fine jade, without any flaws. He

seemed to be smiling, with the tail of his eyes slightly raised, and there was a hint of evil in his gentleness, which was inexplicably confusing.

He closed the door with his backhand, and his voice was low and pleasant when he spoke.

... Although the words he said instantly destroyed this beauty, there was even a hint of wanting to be beaten.

"Hey, everyone is gathered here, waiting to have a party?"

Everyone: "..."

He smiled again: "I advise you to find a house to stay in quickly, it's getting dark, and the unclean things are going to come out."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became tense again. One of the new boys with dyed yellow hair asked anxiously: "What unclean things?" The man

in black raised his eyebrows in a rogue manner and pointed at the wall.

At this time, the last ray of light from the setting sun finally disappeared, and night fell. There

was suddenly light in the brick building, and everyone realized that there were oil lamps on all sides, but the light was not bright, dim and swaying, and shadows were dim, adding to the weird atmosphere.

At the same time, on the snow-white wall facing them, as if someone was writing with a brush, a line of crooked blood words were slowly emerging.

——It's so noisy, don't make loud noises at night.

The blood words seemed to be fresh, and with each word, blood was still flowing down, staining the entire wall in a shocking way.

Several people were shocked and covered their mouths subconsciously, fearing that they would scream out.

"What...what is this?"

They looked at each other and lowered their voices tremblingly.

Fu Lanyu touched Xiaohui with his elbow, and when she saw Xiaohui looking over, she said in a calm voice.

"Remember? This is the basic rule of this time travel."

Xiaohui nodded quickly: "I know, I know."

The couple was closer and happened to hear this sentence. Their faces changed slightly and they exchanged glances.

The atmosphere was undercurrent.

The man in black glanced at the wall, his expression calm, and turned around and went upstairs by himself.

At the corner of the stairs, he paused for a moment, then leaned over the railing and lowered his head, seemingly just casually, and cast a glance at Fu Lanyu.

Almost at the same time, Fu Lanyu seemed to have sensed something and looked up at him.

When their eyes met, the curve of the man's lips deepened. He smiled at her and soon disappeared in the direction of the second floor.

"Who is he?" Xiaohui also noticed, "He doesn't look like a newcomer."

"He's definitely not a newcomer." Fu Lanyu said, "He seems to be of a very high level."

"How do you know? What if he's just bluffing..."

"I've traveled through so many worlds, how can I not tell if he's just bluffing or has special skills?"

"Oh..." Xiaohui couldn't help but glance at the second floor, "Even you said he has special skills, what level is he?"

"Maybe higher than me, but now is not the time to discuss this issue." Fu Lanyu took her hand and walked straight upstairs, "First, pick a room to live in, and then find something to eat."

"...Are you really here to travel?" Why can't you forget to eat?

Who knew that before she went up a few steps, Fu Lanyu's clothes were suddenly grabbed. She turned around and saw that it was the girl who had been crying just now.

"Is there something wrong?"

The girl still had tears in her eyes and asked in a low voice: "Sister, do you know this place better?"

"How old are you?"

"...Twenty-three."

"I'm twenty-two, so don't call me sister."

The girl was choked: "Okay,...sister, can you tell me what happened? And the words on the wall..."

"Just follow the words on the wall." Fu Lanyu said, "Anyway, you have traveled through time, so just treat this place as a survival puzzle game. You can only go home after you complete the game."

"..."

"You will usually encounter some supernatural events along the way, so be prepared and don't be too scared."

"..."

After saying that, Fu Lanyu didn't care how confused and frightened the other party was, and pulled Xiaohui upstairs.

In a world with cruel rules, she never had a heart of love and compassion.

No matter how much the four newcomers resisted, they had to accept the fact that they had traveled through time.

They were terrified and found rooms in the brick building to stay in. They didn't dare to move after hiding in the house.

...Why did I say four newcomers?

Because Fu Lanyu was sure that among the nine people, except for the man in black, the couple was definitely not newcomers.

Late at night, she found a tray of steamed buns in the kitchen on the first floor.

"The food is really bad."

Xiaohui squatted beside her and tore the buns, hearing the words helplessly.

"It's okay to have something to eat, are you here to do a food visit?"

"You can't say that. People can't live just for the sake of living, but to pursue spiritual satisfaction and pleasure. If you don't live with quality, what's the difference between it and death?"

Xiaohui stopped chewing for a moment, then raised her hand and reluctantly applauded her twice.

"Miss Fu, don't be fooled by your cute appearance. I actually think you have the potential to be a charlatan."

"Why?"

"Just... you are good at talking nonsense seriously, and you don't smile."

Fu Lanyu stuffed the remaining half of the steamed bun into his mouth.

"Not really, I am usually very friendly and kind to my customers, with a standard smile."

Xiaohui asked curiously: "I am also your customer, did you smile at me?"

"You pestered me and bargained with me before, and you only gave me 15,000 for a 30,000 order, and cut it in half. What can I smile at you? My smile is so cheap?" "

..." Xiaohui turned her head away embarrassedly, muttering guiltily, "I really don't have money. There are so many worlds to travel through in the future. I have to save some money, otherwise I will go bankrupt. Who will help me pass the level?"

Fu Lanyu glanced at her: "Traveling through the level will cost you your life. I hope you won't lose the big picture for the sake of saving money in the future." Xiaohui

sighed and was about to say something else. The next second, she suddenly heard a man's scream from the third floor.

"Fuck! Fuck!!!"

The two looked at each other and got up at the same time to check the situation upstairs.

When they reached the third floor, they saw that everyone was attracted by the shouting and gathered together.

The one who screamed was the tallest of the newcomers, a 1.9-meter-tall man with a strong back and strong waist, but he didn't look very brave. At this time, his legs were weak and he was leaning against the wall, shaking all over. The

girl who cried first asked in panic: "What's wrong? What happened? Did you see anything?"

"Outside the window...outside the window..." The man pointed to the window in the corridor, his face pale, "Just now there was a woman's face outside the window, with big eyes, disheveled hair, and grinning at me..."

His description made people's backs cold, and even Xiaohui couldn't help but shiver.

"Isn't it a female ghost living in this house?"

"...Fuck! Don't scare me!" The man subconsciously raised his voice again, "This house is haunted, how can it be lived in?!"

"Where do you think you came from?" Fu Lanyu said slowly, "It's not haunted, so why did you come here to do construction?"

The man was emotional and shouted at her: "How do you know so much? Do you have any secrets that you haven't told us? You must know a way out, tell me!"

Fear makes people lose their minds. He rushed over to grab Fu Lanyu's collar, but before he got close, he was stopped in the middle. The

one who stopped him was the handsome man in black.

The man in black supported his chest with one hand, and it seemed that he didn't use any force. He immediately pushed him several meters away, and pushed him so hard that he staggered.

The man in black curved his eyebrows and smiled: "It's rare to see an idiot who breaks the rules crazily right from the start."

"...What rules? What bird rules!"

The couple who had not participated in the discussion, the boy who seemed to have a bad temper, finally spoke impatiently at this time.

"Didn't you see the words on the wall when you first came? No loud noises at night. You have violated it."

"..."

Not only did he violate it, but he violated it many times. He just kept yelling for half a day, fearing that the female ghost was deaf and couldn't hear it.

The crying girl was terrified when she heard it and asked: "What will happen if I break the rules?"

She looked at Fu Lanyu, as if she was hoping that Fu Lanyu could give her an answer.

After all, Fu Lanyu looked harmless and always gave people the illusion that he was easy to talk to and had a good temper.

If not for this, Xiaohui would not have been so shameless to bargain with her at the beginning.

"What happened?" Fu Lanyu stroked his chin seriously, "It's hard to say, anyway, the probability of death is very high, just wish you the best."

"..."

The girl immediately looked at the tall man in confusion, her pretty face pale, and turned back to the room without saying anything.

The others seemed to realize something, so no one paid attention to the tall man anymore, and left one after another, leaving him alone, with a dull look in his eyes, shaking like a sieve.

The night got deeper.

There were more than a dozen rooms in this brick building. Fu Lanyu and Xiaohui lived in one of the rooms on the second floor, sharing a bed, because Xiaohui felt that it was safer this way.

"Ms. Fu, although you look soft, you have a strong temperament. When I'm with you, I feel protected."

"Oh, thank you for your strangely worded false compliments."

"How can it be called false compliments? I'm serious." Xiaohui finished speaking, and added, "Ms. Fu, how about we sleep with oil lamps tonight? It's too dark and scary."

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, a gloomy wind seemed to blow through the room, and then all the oil lamps in the entire brick building went out. There was

silence and darkness in the sight.

Fu Lanyu was silent for a moment, and sighed lazily: "Look at your crow mouth."

"..."

Xiaohui was scared and couldn't help but move closer to Fu Lanyu and put her arms around Fu Lanyu's neck.

Fu Lanyu was speechless: "Are you hugging too tight?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Fu, you have to understand that it's more reassuring to hug a living person in a place like this."

"Oh."

Xiaohui rested her head on Fu Lanyu's pillow, and the whole person leaned on Fu Lanyu like a koala. As a result, before she could close her eyes in peace, she suddenly heard a woman's laughter from outside.

Obviously, the laughter was eerie and weird, and it was definitely not from a normal human.

She took a breath and almost screamed. Fortunately, Fu Lanyu reacted quickly and covered her mouth in time.

"Be quiet." Fu Lanyu reminded in a low voice, "Do you want to die?"

"..."

Xiaohui nodded desperately, indicating that she didn't dare to do it.

The woman outside was still laughing, and the lingering laughter lingered in the brick building for a long time.

The laughter lasted for more than ten minutes until it gradually faded away.

Just when Xiaohui breathed a sigh of relief and thought it was over, she heard a sad female voice again, but this time she didn't laugh, but hummed a ballad slowly with a heavy cry.

"Mom, take good care of my red wedding dress,

don't let me die too early.

Ah~~Ah~~Ah~~

Late at night, your hair fell,

late at night, you closed your eyes,

this is a secret agreement,

belonging to me and you.

The wedding dress is red,

the poison is white...

I hope the woman you touch will bleed, and

the night is not my fault;

I hope the woman you touch is rotting,

and the night is not my fault..."

The song was hummed three times, and the cry became stronger and stronger, and the voice became more and more sharp and sad, as if a woman was standing in front of the bed, crying and accusing miserably.

Xiaohui's hands and feet were cold and trembling violently.

"Fu...Miss Fu, is there really no one in our room? I feel like this female ghost is singing in my ear..."

Fu Lanyu didn't answer, she listened attentively, carefully identifying the lyrics.

"I think I've heard this song before."

"Ah?"

"It's about a girl who gave her first time to her fiancé, but he cheated on her on the eve of their wedding. She lost all hope and committed suicide by taking poison. She was wearing a wedding dress when she died. Overnight, the dress seemed to be stained with blood and turned bright red."

Xiaohui shuddered: "Is it worth it to commit suicide for a man?"

"Maybe in her era, the concept was still relatively old-fashioned." Fu Lanyu paused, and then advised earnestly, "So girls must be independent-minded and cherish themselves. Throw away the bastards. The road ahead is still so long, and you will always meet new love. Don't do stupid things."

"...It's a pretty scary story about a ghost seeking revenge. How did you turn it into a late-night chicken soup after you told it?"

"I also wanted to ease your heavy mood."

"...Thank you, then what should we do next?"

Fu Lanyu asked calmly: "What did you do the first time you traveled through time?"

"It was just... a boy accidentally found a peach wood sword and killed the zombie."

"Why don't you just say you won by doing nothing?"

Xiaohui was choked and tried to save face: "I didn't have experience the first time, so I wanted to learn more from you the second time."

Fu Lanyu put his hands behind his head and said calmly.

"Theoretical effects are limited, experience must be gained through practice, and your task is always to find a way to kill ghosts while staying alive." Having said

that, in fact, the premise of staying alive is already difficult to do.

For example, people who don't follow the rules may not even see tomorrow's sunrise.

The next morning, Fu Lanyu woke up from her sleep and found Xiaohui sitting by the bed, staring at her.

She woke up in an instant and pushed Xiaohui away.

"Next time, don't get so close to me. I'll suspect you're trying to assassinate me. Who will be responsible if I beat you up?"

"...How can I have that ability?" Xiaohui was listless, with heavy dark circles under her eyes. "I just admire you. You can sleep so well in such a ghost place."

"If you don't sleep, do you have to stay awake until dawn? Lack of sleep and insufficient yang energy will make ghosts come to you in the middle of the night, and you'll die faster."

Xiaohui covered her ears nervously: "Don't you keep dying, isn't it taboo?"

"What's taboo about this?"

Fu Lanyu got up carelessly, put on her coat, washed up briefly, and went downstairs.

It seemed that she was the only one who had the best sleep quality, because everyone else had gathered on the first floor.

The man in black was sitting near the stairs, and when he saw her coming downstairs, he looked up.

The two looked at each other, and he smiled silently.

Fu Lanyu didn't know why he was laughing, and didn't care much. She looked around and counted the number of people.

Well, as she guessed, there were still eight people left.

The 1.9-meter-tall man who made a lot of noise last night did not show up.

Xiaohui was a little uneasy: "There's one person missing. Has anyone seen him? Did he not wake up, or..." "He

's probably dead."

The one who spoke was the girl in the couple.

"How do you know? Did you hear something last night?"

The girl said coldly: "We are all on the third floor, and the man lives next door to us - you all heard the female ghost singing last night, right?"

Everyone present nodded, and the three newlyweds looked unhappy, obviously they were frightened all night.

The girl continued: "While we were singing, we heard a sound from next door, first the door opened, and then..."

"Then what?"

"Then it was like a sharp weapon cutting off the flesh and disassembling the bones, one knife after another, like killing a pig."

These words were simply creepy.

The man in black leaned against the stair railing, smiled and applauded: "The description is detailed and appropriate, and there is a picture."

"..."

The timid new girl trembled, looked like she was about to cry again, and could only repeat it over and over again.

"Then what should we do? Then what should we do..."

"What can we do? Is crying the solution?" The boy in the couple replied fiercely, "Since everyone is here, let's go upstairs and take a look!"

His girlfriend immediately agreed.

Fu Lanyu walked out of the kitchen with two steamed buns in his hand and handed one to Xiaohui.

"There's nothing else except the steamed buns."

"It's good to have something to eat." Xiaohui sighed and took the steamed bun, "They just said they wanted to go upstairs to take a look."

"Okay, let's go and take a look."

Before going upstairs, everyone went to the kitchen to get steamed buns to fill their stomachs. Only one new boy with glasses refused to eat anything.

"There's no one in this house. Who steamed the buns? I won't eat them. What if there's something dirty?"

The logic is fine, but in such a world, if you follow this theory, you will definitely not be able to survive.

The couple looked disdainful, and the boy snorted coldly: "Then don't eat it, see if you will starve to death."

"..."

Everyone lined up to the third floor and found the room where the tall man lived last night. They saw that the door was closed and there was no trace at the door, as if nothing had happened.

But Fu Lanyu's senses were more sensitive than those of ordinary people. She smelled a faint smell of blood.

She frowned and kicked the door open.

"Ah--!!!"

When the new girl saw the scene in the house clearly, she screamed. She stepped back several steps and fell to the ground, almost fainting.

The others were also stunned.

Strangely, there was no body in the house, but it was obvious that it had experienced a tragedy similar to slaughter.

The walls, the bed, the table, and even the ceiling were all splattered with blood. The blood was spurting out and had a thick texture. It was a black-red color after solidification, like a weird abstract oil painting.

There were a lot of meat and bone fragments scattered on the floor, which showed that the tall man must have been chopped into pieces.

Xiaohui grabbed Fu Lanyu's arm tightly and pointed to a place not far away with a trembling voice: "Miss Fu, what is that round thing?"

Fu Lanyu followed her gaze and saw two turbid-colored, glass-shaped objects next to the corner of the table. She pondered for a while and gave a serious answer.

"Is it an eyeball?"

"..."

Xiaohui turned around in a panic and ran to the toilet to vomit.

The couple's faces were not good either, but they were experienced after all, and they did not show any excessive emotions. They looked at it for a while and then left hand in hand.

The gentle man with glasses had already run away, and the other new boy with dyed yellow hair retched twice, but finally forced himself to hold it back. Before leaving, he also dragged the new girl who was limp on the ground away.

In the corridor on the third floor, only Fu Lanyu and the mysterious man in black were left.

The two were silent, and it was the man in black who finally broke the deadlock. He smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Little girl, let me introduce myself. My name is Qiao Yunzheng."

Fu Lanyu glanced at him, hesitated a little, but finally did not refuse, and calmly held his hand.

"Fu Lanyu."

"Nice name." Qiao Yunzheng smiled even more deeply. He suddenly took a step forward, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Now that we know each other, shouldn't we discuss some serious matters?"
