Chapter 21 (2/2)

She gazed hatefully at the woman as she slowly approached her.

Xiao Tangqiu used quickly thought of something, “Give me the box! I have the key!”

At such a crucial moment, he had no choice but to take a risk!

The woman turned to look at Xiao Tangqiu and seemed to hesitate for half a second. But at that point, Fang Lan was about to attack them, so she had no time to think about it. Moreover, the box was already in her hands and she really had no way to open it without the key. This sort of quest item couldn’t be opened by violent means; she could only look for the corresponding key if she wanted to open it. Grinding her teeth, she threw the box to Xiao Tangqiu.

As soon as Xiao Tangqiu grabbed the box, he quickly took out the key to open it. On the other side, the woman had actually brought out another small knife. Her two companions also took out their weapons. Although their weapons didn’t seem very impressive, compared to Xiao Tangqiu – this unarmed rookie -they were much better off.

Taking advantage of the delay, Xiao Tangqiu successfully opened the box. To his surprise, there were some letters in the box. He picked up one of them, looked at it carefully but felt that there was something strange about the whole thing – Fang Lan had actually written these letters to Zhou Hai.

“What’s inside? Hurry! Take it out! They won’t be able to hold on much longer!” Tang Mianmian lunged at Xiao Tangqiu and grabbed the letter in his hand, “A letter? Fuck it! We’ll just give it a try!”

Xiao Tangqiu, “Wait a……..”

Before he could stop Tang Mianmian, Tang Mianmian had already summoned his courage and rushed towards Fang Lan. He stood a distance away and threw the letter at Fang Lan, as if he was throwing garbage.

Fang Lan, who was originally hostile, suddenly calmed down. She picked up the letter with fingers that were so swollen that they looked like they were stuck together. With her head lowered, she looked at the letter……….

She seemed to have calmed down. Tang Mianmian blinked in disbelief. Did it really come in handy?

Xiao Tangqiu murmured, “I have a bad feeling……”

Tang Mianmian, “Fuck my life! Not again?!”

Sure enough, Fang Lan’s expression calmed down for less than a second, and then, rapidly changed. Very quickly, her eyes were filled with resentment and hatred; the black fog of resentment around her roiled up with even more intensity!

Tang Mianmian’s face was full of despair, “Just tell me, were you a crow in your last life?”

Xiao Tangqiu laughed bitterly; Fang Lan had gouged out Zhou Hai’s eyes while he was still alive, which meant that she must’ve really hated Zhou Hai. How could she not be angry after seeing the letter she wrote to Zhou Hai?

Fang Lan hated the people of Yunjia Village; she loathed the Yun family. Naturally, she resented Zhou Hai, the man who abandoned her, as well.

“The BOSS in a rage! Run!” Xiao Tangqiu didn’t expect to have raised a death flag. Instead of killing the BOSS, he ended up angering the BOSS. He quickly threw away key and the box, pulled Tang Mianmian and ran with great abandon.

Luo Mansu didn’t need Xiao Tangqiu’s reminder; he prompty picked up Ding Tiantian and ran like the wind. The trio had fought for a while now, and knew that couldn’t defeat Fang Lan, so they turned heel and ran.

Xiao Tangqiu ran out of Yun Manor but he didn’t know where else to run to. Tang Mianmian ran as he cried, “Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What are we going to do?! What are we going to do?!”

Xiao Tangqiu was close to tears as well, “I want to know too! There’s no way to play this game! There aren’t any hints at all. We finally found a quest item but it turned out to be a trap!”

Tang Mianmian burst into tears, “Damn trap! Fang Lan hates Zhou Hai so much. Why would she still keep those fucking letters?!”

Xiao Tangqiu was also about to say that those letters must’ve been brought into the Yun Manor before Fang Lan had died. But on second thought, after Fang Lan died, she could’ve destroyed all those letters. Why had she thrown away Zhou Hai’s skull and the key into the well?

As he was trying to figure out this puzzle, he suddenly smelled something rotten. He quickly stopped running, but it was too late. Somehow they had both unknowingly ran to the area near the restroom, and Fang Lan had actually climbed out of the well nearby!

The evil spirit in the red wedding dress crawled out of the well, all drenched, and fixed its resentful gaze upon Xiao Tangqiu who stood less than a meter away………
