Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1729 In the Deadly Game 16

Ruan Lanzhu had doubts and even directly questioned the official's ability. As the only person representing the official to contact Ruan Lanzhu, Jiang Xinxin of course had to help him solve his doubts.

Jiang Xinxin stood on the obsidian rooftop, surrounded by trees. Everyone was either resting in the rooms on the second floor or chatting in the living room on the first floor. Only Ruan Lanzhu stood next to Jiang Xinxin.

So Jiang Xinxin asked Ruan Lanzhu directly: "Do you know your origins?"

A trace of vigilance flashed across Ruan Lanzhu's eyes, but it seemed that when he thought of Jiang Xinxin's official identity and the friendliness she had always shown, Ruan Lanzhu gave up those negative thoughts.

He turned his head away from Jiang Xinxin's face and replied coldly, "Of course I know where I came from."

Jiang Xinxin didn't care about Ruan Lanzhu's sudden indifference and continued, "We've already investigated Gao Dawei. We also know that the world of our sect originated from the VR game 'Spirit Realm' created by Gao Dawei. We also know that 'Spirit Realm' has become unrecognizable after several rounds of transformation..."

"After noticing the increasing number of so-called 'accidental deaths,' the authorities set up a special task force to investigate. It was only then that an official accidentally entered the world of the door and uncovered the mystery of those accidental deaths."

"Among my colleagues are experts in various branches of psychology, skilled crime solvers, and even virtuous Taoist priests and high-ranking monks. However, the world of doors seems to operate in its own way. Even if we restore the door gods to sanity, each door will still exist. After a period of time, it will refresh. The door gods will forget the experience of letting go of their obsession and return to the appearance they first saw."

Jiang Xinxin didn't need to explain the rest; Ruan Lanzhu guessed it. "So you've already targeted Ling Ling, just because Ling Ling has the ability to close doors?"

Jiang Xinxin nodded, then shook her head, correcting Ruan Lanzhu's statement: "To be precise, as long as Ling Jiushi and I go through the gate together, I can unlock the gate god's long-cherished wish and ensure that the gate will not reopen or refresh after closing, truly setting the gate god and the NPCs within the gate free."

Ruan Lanzhu understood what Jiang Xinxin meant. "Anyway, you mean you will guarantee Lingling's safety?"

Jiang Xinxin confirmed, "That's right. Officially, I'm the only one who can pass through the same gate with Ling Jiushi. No one else can be assigned to the same gate as him, no matter what."

After confirming that Jiang Xinxin's words were true, Ruan Lanzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as you don't harm Lingling, I have no objection."

Jiang Xinxin continued, "But based on what we know right now, you'll be in great danger once all the doors are closed. That's why I suggested you talk to our senior monks and Taoist priests to see if they can find a way to turn you back into a human."

Ruan Lanzhu's expression was very complicated. "I didn't expect you guys could even figure this out..."

Jiang Xinxin smiled at Ruan Lanzhu and said, "Actually, the ancients have already set an example for us, like the righteous Guan Yu, and the two gate gods Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong after the Tang Dynasty. Your cooperation in closing the gate to the world is meritorious in itself. If you are blessed by the thoughts of all living beings, I believe you will be able to fully enter the real world."

Jiang Xinxin always felt that the fate between Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi should be more than just the world of the door. During their time together, she also recognized Ruan Lanzhu, so she didn't want to see him disappear with the world of the door, or be trapped in the world of the door.

Ruan Lanzhu could certainly feel Jiang Xinxin's sincerity, so this time he decided to think about this issue seriously.

To be honest, Ruan Lanzhu certainly treats Ling Jiushi differently. After all, he was born to wait for Ling Jiushi and assist Ling Jiushi. When Ling Jiushi entered the world of the door, he saw the warm light on the other party that seemed to come from his soul.

This light made him feel happy and warm, so based on the underlying logic, the more he understood Ling Jiushi, the more... fascinated he became with him.

Jiang Xinxin is another person who has a light in her soul. This light is even brighter and warmer than the light on Ling Jiushi, so he also has some innate trust in Jiang Xinxin.

Jiang Xinxin showed her kindness to everyone step by step, and he was also very convinced of Jiang Xinxin, especially since Jiang Xinxin had an official background, and the official was also full of goodwill towards him.

Ruan Lanzhu seemed to have given it a lot of thought, but in reality, it had only taken a few minutes for him to make a decision. "Ms. Jiang, when are you free? Could you accompany me to meet with relevant professionals?"

"A wise decision," Jiang Xinxin praised, then solemnly promised, "Don't worry. As the only staff member currently qualified to be a match for Ling Jiushi, I have a certain degree of official special status. I have decided to accompany you throughout your matter and will not put you in any danger."

"However, you should be prepared. The authorities will definitely want to know the entire process of your birth, and the process of your complete entry into the real world will also be a key area of ​​official research."

Ruan Lanzhu had been prepared for this, but when he heard Jiang Xinxin say it, he was visibly relieved.

Everyone already knew Lu Zuozi's affairs clearly, so after entering the room, the three of them were not in a hurry. However, Li Dongyuan came up to him again and treated Ruan Lanzhu with his courtesy as if he were his elder brother-in-law.

NPC prepared dormitories for everyone, so there was no need to worry about gender separation at this time. What's more, the upper and lower beds were equipped with thick blackout curtains, and you couldn't see anything once the curtains were drawn.

Li Dongyuan didn't belong to the Obsidian Stone, but Ruan Lanzhu was willing to share some information. "We found out that the most important taboo for this door is that you can't sing the last two lines of the lyrics."

As he spoke, Ruan Lanzhu took out the note he had prepared long ago and handed it to Li Dongyuan. "From now on, we must do everything we can to avoid revealing the contents of this note."

Li Dongyuan and Ling Jiushi both agreed solemnly. Everyone lay on the bed, their thoughts flying to Jiang Xinhong, the classmate from Class 2, Grade 2, whom they had met in the cafeteria before.

Ling Jiushi brought it up first, but since Li Dongyuan was in the room and didn't know the details, he changed the subject: "Is Jiang Xinhong, the classmate from Class 2, Grade 2, whom I met in the cafeteria earlier, aware of something?"

"He approached us and started chatting us up. When he left, he heard us talking about the student roster and campus stories. It was obvious he knew something."

Li Dongyuan hadn't expected Ling Jiushi, who was quiet and somewhat saintly, to have observation skills comparable to Ruan Lanzhu's. He immediately praised him, "Ling Jiushi, did you see the badge too? Sure enough, anyone who can join Obsidian must have a special skill!"

Ling Jiushi felt a little embarrassed by Li Dongyuan's straightforward praise, but fortunately the bed curtains were drawn and no one saw his blushing face.

Ruan Lanzhu laughed and said, "She wears her badge so openly, it's normal for Lingling to take a quick glance and remember what's on it."

Jiang Xinxin decided immediately: "Then let's go find Jiang Xinhong tomorrow to inquire about the situation, and then go to places like the reference room to see if we can find any useful information."
