Compared with the home where the puppet is located, the campus brings Lu Ran a sense of security.

Taking advantage of the fifteen minutes left before the morning reading, Lu Ran stayed alone in the men's toilet, clicked on the [Hell Road] APP on his mobile phone, loaded it into the archive, and sure enough, there was an extra piece of information.

"There is one remaining [Hell Murder] to be dealt with."

"Great! Let's hope it's not too difficult! ”

The thought of being able to deal with things at home in a way similar to a game made Lu Ran become excited.

【Hell Murder - Strange Couples】

The verification team confirmed that the puppet shown in the video was 'anomalous'.

Verifier: Xenomorph

Requirements: Resolve and kill the doll subject by any means

Difficulty: Medium

Rewards: A few ancient coins, a small amount of experience points.

(Note: (1) Due to the recent implementation of the Infernal Beginner Protection Rules, when you enter through the [Path to Hell] game, you will receive indirect assistance, which can directly verify the 'subject' and 'weakness' of the monster for you, making the overall difficulty reduced to 'low'.)

(2) If the subject chooses not to go through the game, he will not be able to get any help by directly interfering with the 'Hell Murder'. However, if you can complete the murder mission alone, you will receive double the reward. ）

"Since I'm the one who discovered the murder, do I have the right to interfere directly with the mission without going through the game? The main body should be the puppet that the mother bought...... As for the 'weakness', so a small puppet only needs to destroy its whole body, right? Without the help of the system, the difficulty is also medium, and I should be able to do it. ”

Lu Ran replayed the clear video, stared at the puppet in his mother's arms, and made up his mind to solve it on his own.

Anyway, the game only provides indirect help, and the final destruction of the puppet also needs to be completed by Lu Ran himself.

As a veteran player of the game, Lu Ran knows very well how important it is to establish an advantage in the early stage of the game for later development. Experience points allow him to level up quickly, and if he can reach the "gold" level, he will not have to force the completion of the murder mission.

………

During the class, Lu Ran was almost completely distracted, thinking about how to deal with the 'puppet'.

"I can't do it alone, let's ask Sister Wan'er to help tonight."

During the lunch break, Lu Ran called his father, saying that he had forgotten something important in Han Shiwan's rented house.

Go get it tonight, stay there by the way, and come back tomorrow.

Immediately after, Lu Ran immediately asked the head teacher for leave, saying that he had to go to the hospital to see a doctor at night.

For the serious study that has always been serious and does not cause much trouble, the head teacher did not embarrass him.

Lu Ran, who walked out of the school gate after handing over the leave slip to the doorman, immediately caught a glimpse of his distant cousin who was extremely eye-catching at the school gate.

Han Shiwan wore white leg socks and a floral skirt, and beckoned to her with her feet padded.

Xiao Ran ...... It's really rare that you would ask for leave and take the initiative to ask me out. ”

"Sister Wan'er, take me to the city for a turn, the matter is said in the car."

"Okay."

Sitting on Sister Wan'er's 'Beetle', he drove towards the city.

Along the way, Lu Ran explained to Sister Wan'er the strange puppets at home and the experience of last night, after all, this involves the safety of his parents' lives, and Lu Ran does not dare to put all the bets on himself.

“…… That's the way it is, Sister Wan'er, do you believe me? ”

"If you change to someone else, you will definitely say that you have a nervous problem, and you have watched too many horror movies...... But I absolutely believe in you, what are you going to do? ”

After a day of thinking, Lu Ran had already considered the 'combat policy': "Tomorrow night, when my parents are asleep, I am going to burn the puppet...... But there's no guarantee that it will succeed, so I'll have to buy some self-defense props today. ”

Sister Wan'er asked, "What about me?" ”

"I will call you before the operation, and once I hear me say 'call the police', Sister Wan'er, you will immediately notify the police."

"Hey, I just love this kind of remote operation...... We're going to the city center soon, what are you going to buy? ”

"Buy a little bit of everything."

Lu Ran gave full play to the advantages of 'horror lovers', and recorded all the 'exorcism props' mentioned in movies and games in a small book, and purchased them in turn in the comprehensive shopping mall.

Sterling silver cross, cinnabar talisman, raw glutinous rice, chicken blood, peach wood sword.

Relying on the 5,000 yuan given by his father, Lu Ran was able to buy it without any worries.

"The exorcism prop is almost ......"

At this moment, Lu Ran happened to pass by a special machinery store.

In addition to the usual hardware for sale, the store also has several new chainsaws on the shelves.

Suddenly, a burst of red light flashed in Lu Ran's eyes, and the scene of the chainsaw tearing and blood splattering appeared in his mind.

"Boss, how much does this chainsaw cost?"

"Today, the whole field of machinery is full of 1000 minus 200, and this high-efficiency rechargeable chainsaw is now only 899, and it also comes with imported lubricating oil and high-quality quenching chain...... Fast charging, efficiency cutting, consumption and noise reduction, return and replacement within seven days, one-year warranty. ”

"Give it a try."

This chainsaw is not light because of the embedded high-capacity battery.

However, just as Lu Ran was lifting the chainsaw, he felt a heat in his back, and an inner force gushed out, swinging the chainsaw in his hand freely and easily.

"Young man, you're a good arm! Do you want to learn sports? ”

The boss of the five big and three thick can also swing the chainsaw like this, Lu Ran is just a high school student, and his body looks relatively ordinary.

"Sort of...... Boss, I bought this chainsaw. ”

Lu Ran paid the money and carried the chainsaw carton to meet Sister Wan'er in the restaurant.

"It's so big, what did you buy?"

"Hey, self-defense."

The two had a barbecue feast and returned to Han Shiwan's rented house with a full stomach...... Lu Ran plans to stay here to rest tonight, and go home tomorrow to finish the matter.

Lu Ran in the study didn't have the heart to write his homework at all, and was ready to start the computer version of [Road to Hell] and browse the forum...... After all, it was the first time for Lu Ran to deal with this kind of task, and he was more or less nervous.

Unfortunately, I didn't find any beginner posts for performing tasks.

However, Lu Ran searched and found an independent post about 'dolls'...... It is also a newbie post of popular science, and no ancient gold coins will be charged for browsing.

It explains a lot about the origin of dolls, basic information, and some strange things involving dolls in history.

In general, there are two types of paranormal events caused by dolls.

First. "Boarding Sex Doll"

It usually refers to some living people who are extremely obsessed with dolls during their lifetime, and even some children. After an unnatural death, it is possible that some of the souls will reside in the puppet's body.

Second. "Evil Thing"

Humanoid objects are often used as containers for sorcerers.

Some wizards who are proficient in sorcery often sew doll containers out of human skins and hair, and then use evil spells to summon evil spirits and monsters to attach to the dolls.

However, it is very rare for a puppet to exist alone in this way, and most of the puppets are under the absolute control of the caster, acting as a slave with the caster.

"I guess that's the first one......"

Lu Ran remembered that the woman in white he saw through the reflection of the TV on the first night, and the woman he met on the way home, seemed to be made of dolls, not some monsters.

Just when Lu Ran rolled the mouse, planning to see if there were any other free novice posts that were partial to popular science.

Knock knock! There was a knock on the bedroom door.

Lu Ran hurriedly turned off the computer, after all, the [Road to Hell] cannot be leaked.

"Come in."

I saw Han Shiwan, who was wearing pink rabbit pajamas, standing at the door, hooking her finger at Lu Ran.

"You're going to do something big tomorrow night, so make an exception for you to sleep with your sister tonight."

Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, although they had lived together for a long time, the two sisters and brothers had never slept together .......

"Wait...... Wait until I'm done with my homework. "Lu Ran needs to think calmly.

"It's just sleeping together, and I didn't say sleeping on the same quilt...... I'll come over with the quilt later. ”

"Hmm."

…………

It was close to twelve o'clock in the evening, and Lu Ran came to Han Shiwan's bedroom with his futon and pillow.

"Sister Wan'er, don't tell anyone about this...... The two of us sleep in the same bed, and if it gets out, others will definitely think about it. ”

Han Shiwan didn't care at all and said, "What? Sister and brother are not allowed to fall in love? ”

“…… Ah. ”

"Look at how nervous you look...... My sister knows, you have a sweetheart at school. Listen to my sister's advice, and when this matter is resolved, go and confess, don't let the girl be abducted by others...... Also, be sure to promise your sister one thing. ”

Han Shiwan's expression became serious, and she continued:

"If the incident changes tomorrow, you must find a safe place to hide and wait for the police to solve it, don't be alone, you know?"

"Hmm."

"Go to sleep."

Han Shiwan's delicate hand quietly passed through the futon, lightly hugged Lu Ran's more solid arm, and pressed her cheek against it......
