Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1006: Chapter 917: Queen of Terror 13

This explains why the game’s requirement is for Lan Shuangshuang and others to survive in the inn for thirty days, first facing a murderer, then a house full of fierce ghosts. Indeed, it’s a challenging game.

However, for Lan Shuangshuang, it wasn’t a difficult task, because whether it was humans or ghosts, she wasn’t afraid. The only trouble was that the tall and strong man might have realized Lan Shuangshuang was hard to provoke and dared not appear in front of her.

When Lan Shuangshuang left the police station and returned to the inn, she saw several waiters insisting on resigning, all scared by the hotel’s tragedy and the fear of being targeted by the murderer.

The boss lady desperately tried to retain them, after all, a business can’t run without employees, even offering triple wages as an enticement. But in this era, who would value money more than their life?

In the end, the waiters all left one by one, leaving the boss lady sitting at the entrance, covering her face in a daze. Just then, a young couple also came out to check out.

The boss lady helplessly refunded the couple, and Lan Shuangshuang couldn’t help but frown: ”To leave the inn, you’ll have to pass through a small forest. If the murderer is lurking there, you may not escape.

The murderer always attacks those who are alone. If everyone sticks together and doesn’t act alone, the murderer will either stop attacking or confront you directly.

If the murderer dares to confront us, I’ve trained in martial arts, and I can assure you I’ll catch him. So staying here is definitely safer than leaving alone.”

Lan Shuangshuang’s assurance that she could catch the murderer didn’t sound like boasting to the couple. Though they hadn’t made the connection during their police statement, realizing the escaped murderer was the tall and strong fat man.

However, they had seen Lan Shuangshuang deal with the tall and strong fat man firsthand before. Despite him being trained, Lan Shuangshuang handled him as easily as catching a chick.

The couple discussed it and agreed that being ambushed in the forest was indeed less safe than staying at the inn. Before, they weren’t sure if Lan Shuangshuang would intervene, hence the thought of escaping. Now, since Lan Shuangshuang clearly stated she’d protect them, staying by an expert’s side naturally felt safer.

After convincing the couple, Lan Shuangshuang took out her phone to contact other taskers, notifying Jiang Mengxin, Jiao Zhongsheng, and Feng Duo to gather in the hall. Although they were taskers, being a tasker didn’t guarantee safety, especially Feng Duo, who had just undergone his first body strengthening and wasn’t very skilled yet.

Jiao Zhongsheng and Feng Duo were easily contacted by Lan Shuangshuang and quickly arrived at the hall. Among the group, apart from Lan Shuangshuang, Jiao Zhongsheng was the most skilled, having completed multiple tasks and continuously strengthened his body. At least against the tall and strong fat man, he wouldn’t be knocked out instantly.

Despite multiple attempts, Lan Shuangshuang couldn’t reach Jiang Mengxin, causing her to furrow her brow. However, she wasn’t too worried; Jiang Mengxin had played several games and had some experience, and while her combat skills weren’t extremely strong, she should be able to protect herself.

Just as Lan Shuangshuang thought of this, a loud noise came from upstairs, causing her expression to change instantly, and she rushed upstairs, followed closely by Jiao Zhongsheng and Feng Duo.

Seeing Lan Shuangshuang, Feng Duo, and Jiao Zhongsheng head upstairs, the boss lady and the young couple hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow, despite not knowing what danger lay above.

Regardless of the danger upstairs, with Lan Shuangshuang around, safety is maximized. Waiting below, if they really faced any threat, the three of them might not be able to protect themselves. Following Lan Shuangshuang seemed wiser.

Lan Shuangshuang headed directly to Jiang Mengxin’s room, pushing the door open to find Jiang Mengxin lying on the floor, a large wound on her back, seemingly unconscious.

Lan Shuangshuang quickly checked her and found Jiang Mengxin’s wound was horrifyingly open, but not deep, only long, giving the impression of serious injury.

Apart from the back wound, there were bruises around Jiang Mengxin’s neck, likely caused by someone choking her, leading to her loss of consciousness.

The overturned table in the room might have been Jiang Mengxin’s attempt to struggle and create noise to attract help, as the loud crashing sound scared the murderer, who dared not face Lan Shuangshuang and fled.

Lan Shuangshuang went to the balcony and saw a small figure running away in the distance. Without thinking, she jumped off the floor to chase.

Normally, no ordinary person would catch up at such a distance, but Lan Shuangshuang wasn’t ordinary. With Jiao Zhongsheng, a seasoned tasker, inside, she dared to pursue.

Lan Shuangshuang’s speed was unparalleled compared to a normal person. Although the figure ran fast, Lan Shuangshuang closed the gap quickly, her silhouette becoming clearer.

The slightly overweight silhouette indeed belonged to the tall and strong fat man arrested before. His clothes were stained with blood, both fresh and old, dried to a dark purple. He held a long, sharp controlled knife, origins unknown.

Realizing someone was pursuing him, the tall and strong fat man glanced back to see Lan Shuangshuang gaining on him. Likely emboldened by recent murders, his fear of her diminished.

Having failed to shake off Lan Shuangshuang, he stopped abruptly, swinging his knife and charging fiercely at her, aiming a slash directly at her face.

Lan Shuangshuang grabbed the blade, pulling forward and using the tall and strong fat man’s momentum to trip him, then swiftly kicked him in the stomach.

The kick sent the tall and strong fat man sprawling, clutching his stomach in pain. Lan Shuangshuang quickly disabled him by breaking his limbs, thoroughly nullifying his combat ability.

Dragging the incapacitated tall and strong fat man back like a dead dog, Lan Shuangshuang returned to find others frantically tending to Jiang Mengxin’s wound, who had regained consciousness.

With the tall and strong fat man’s limbs crippled, the boss lady called the police, who soon arrived to take him away. Alongside the police came a doctor summoned by the boss to treat Jiang Mengxin’s injuries.
