Chapter 641 Fatal Game 2 4
Ling Jiushi also spoke up: "Where is there a female ghost? Cheng Wen, don't talk nonsense."
“I’m not talking nonsense. Look at her, she hasn’t left the house all day. Not only is she dressed in all white like that female ghost, but she also has time to commit crimes,” Cheng Wen argued.
When everyone saw Hu Ji, it was indeed true. She was wearing a white dress and had long hair, which did indeed resemble the features of a female ghost.
But that doesn't prove she is. Ruan Lanzhu: "Where's the evidence? What you're saying can't prove she's a ghost. If you don't have evidence, it's best not to talk nonsense."
Although Xiong Qi felt that Ruan Lanzhu had a problem, he still agreed with him: "Cheng Wen, don't talk nonsense and cause trouble here."
Seeing that no one believed him, Cheng Wen became somewhat frantic: "I just saw it, she really is a ghost, not a human."
He really did see the figure of a female ghost flash by.
There were two people sitting in that spot, and he didn't know whether it was Wang Xiaoyi or Hu Ji.
However, he thought it was more likely to be a Hu woman, since she was dressed like a female ghost and happened to be away from the others.
Hu Ji raised an eyebrow and glanced at him with a half-smile: "If you go blind, give your eyes to someone who needs them. I can dig them out for you."
Her smile didn't reach her eyes, which was frightening, and she also gave off a mysterious and unfathomable aura.
Cheng Wen felt that if he said anything more, she would really hit him, so he didn't dare to speak again.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her with some hesitation, Hu Ji rolled her eyes: "What are you looking at? Are you all seeing things?"
The others didn't really believe the claim that she was a female ghost; they just looked at her a couple more times to confirm, and then they all looked away.
But Ruan Lanzhu didn't. Now it was his turn to look at Hu Ji with a mocking gaze: "Look at you, you came in all white, now people will misunderstand you."
"What's wrong with wearing white clothes? Anyone who thinks it's wrong must have bad eyesight." Hu Ji shrugged, then glanced at Cheng Wen.
Cheng Wen avoided her gaze, and once she stopped looking at him, he began to scan her and Wang Xiaoyi, as if trying to confirm who the female ghost was.
After this little farce, no one was in the mood to talk about anything else, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
*
In the middle of the night, the sound of running came from the second-floor corridor. There was a rapid knocking on Hu Ji's door, but she didn't hear it; she automatically blocked out her hearing before going to sleep.
She had also tampered with the door so that no one could disturb her sleep.
Cheng Wen stood at the door with a knife in his hand. He knocked for a long time but there was no response from inside. So he started ramming the door, but the door didn't budge.
After thinking for a moment, he turned and went to another room.
Soon, Wang Xiaoyi was slashed by him and chased out of the room.
"Help! I'm not a ghost, I'm a human."
“You’re a ghost, you and that Mu Lan are both ghosts, don’t run away.” Cheng Wen’s expression was ferocious.
Wang Xiaoyi stumbled and knocked on doors, but in the end only Ling Jiushi opened the door for her.
Hu Ji was completely oblivious to the farce that unfolded that night, sound asleep.

The next day, everyone continued to go up the mountain to cut down trees. Two men dragged the trees down the mountain in pairs, while the women walked alongside them.
Several people guessed that it was forbidden for three people to carry or hug the tree, so they all carefully dragged it along.
Ling Jiushi, dragging the tree along, casually remarked, "It seems like Mu Lan hasn't come out at all today?"
I didn't see her even during mealtime. If Ruan Lanzhu hadn't said she was fine, I would have thought something had happened.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke said, "Her secretive behavior is obviously suspicious. She should mind her own business. We still haven't found the key or the door."
"I've found the door, and I roughly know where the key is." Ruan Lanzhu dragged the tree without much effort, looking rather relaxed.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke hurriedly asked, "You found the door and the key? Where are they?"
"The door is in the well, and as for the key, you'll find out when the time comes."
"In the well? Isn't there a monster in there?"
Ruan Lanzhu: "This isn't your first time entering a new house. Isn't it normal for doors to be related to door gods?"
"You...the door is in the well, how are we supposed to get down? There are door gods inside."
"Just because you can't do something doesn't mean I can't." After saying that, Ruan Lanzhu stopped talking no matter how much she asked.
It's not the right time yet; let's wait until we get the keys.
*
That night, Cheng Wen and Wang Xiaoyi violated the taboo of looking into a well, and were immediately dragged into the well and eaten by the door god.
Now there are only five people left, plus a Hu woman who is not involved, which means there are only four people working.
After the coffin was made and the key was obtained, Ruan Lanzhu suggested using the dead wolf's corpse to distract the door gods, so they could take the opportunity to open the door and go out.
Before everyone reached a consensus and prepared to take action, he knocked on Hu Ji's door.
"What is it?" Hu Ji was just about to leave the door and go to other places to wander around.
Hearing the knock, she went to open the door anyway.
Ruan Lanzhu asked her directly, "We found the door and the key, aren't you coming out with us?"
"I do not want to go out."
"Go and take a look. What's the point of staying inside all the time?"
The woman from Hu asked him in return, "Then what's the point of going out?"
"What do you find interesting?" Ruan Lanzhu wondered what would attract her.
"I didn't..." Hu Ji started to say no, but when her gaze swept over his face, she changed her mind: "You look quite interesting, but..."
"But what?"
A mischievous glint flashed in Hu Ji's eyes, but her face remained impassive: "However, you can't just let me play with you like that."
Ruan Lanzhu's eyes widened: "Are you a female hooligan? Letting a man play with you? And just playing with him however you want?"
"I meant turning you into a toy, so how come I can't play with you however I want?"
"You mean this is what you mean by 'play'? No, you want to turn me into a toy to play with, how perverted!" Ruan Lanzhu, like a drama queen, hugged herself and took a few steps back.
"Guess how I got out to play without having to guard the gate?" Hu Ji smiled and stepped forward, whispering in his ear.
Ruan Lanzhu quickly realized that she must have found a way to guard the gate in her place or become a toy.
How could she have so many abilities? She's clearly the gatekeeper of the twelfth door, so how come there's this bug in the door in front of her?
Out of curiosity about Hu Ji, Ruan Lanzhu decided to take her out and keep her by his side to observe her.
"Come out with me. We have nice accommodations, good food, and lots of people to play with."
Orchid Girl: "I'll do it again..."
"Don't rush to refuse. Think about it first. The others are waiting for us. Let's go downstairs." Ruan Lanzhu pulled her downstairs before she could finish speaking.
Alright, since someone was offering free food and lodging, Hu Ji had no reason to refuse.
With her there, the incident of Xiao Ke stealing the keys didn't happen, but Ling Jiu still planned to help Xiao Jiu.
After all the NPCs disappeared from everyone's sight, people began to leave one after another.
Ruan Lanzhu, who was second to last, quickly reached out and put her arm around Hu Ji behind her as they left the house.
