People are in a weird world, you call this a nurturing game

"Are you looking for Anna?"

"No."

"I'm coming to find you."

In the bar, Li Ran was sitting on the bar.

The bartender at the bar, Ah Qing, wiped the red wine glass with a clean white cloth. She raised her head and looked at the handsome young man in front of her in shock.

"Are you looking for me?" Ah Qing asked in surprise.

She is just an ordinary bartender who doesn't like to interact with others. She has few friends and no one cares about her.

Most of the men who come to the bar to drink come for Anna. Anna is beautiful and sexy and is the bar's signature. Which man doesn't covet her.

He had an impression of the handsome young man in front of him. He remembered that a week ago, he was the man who successfully impressed Anna. Even in the next few days, Anna would mention this man intentionally or unintentionally, saying that he was very interesting.

However, she didn't have a good impression. Not all men who come to bars are like that.

"Yes." The handsome young man said sincerely, then ordered a glass of gin and tonic, and continued: "I want to ask for your help."

"How can I help you?" Ah Qing asked.

The handsome young man handed over a black gold card.

Ah Qing's pupils trembled slightly.

…

…

"Master Ge, I'm here."

Li Ran came to the security room carrying a cigarette and a box of fine white tea.

"Xiao Ran, come just as you said you would. Why do you bring something with you every time?" Uncle Ge took the tea and cigarettes from Li Ran and said a few polite words, and then put the things away naturally.

Into the desk drawer.

Haha, it’s really nothing out of the ordinary.

"Master Ge, do you know about Ming Deng?" Li Ran asked.

Li Ran believed that Uncle Ge, as the old security guard of Happy Home, must know more about Happy Home than anyone else, and it would not be wrong to come to him to learn about Ming Deng.

"Ming Deng?" Ge Ye stopped making tea and looked at Li Ran in surprise.

Regarding the clues about the Ming Lantern, Li Ran didn't get any clues from the golden finger, just like when he was looking for the marriage certificate.

"Master Ge, I just moved into the community and I don't understand a lot. Can you explain it to me in detail?" Li Ran asked.

He saw on the bulletin board that the ninety-nine families designated for the dragon lantern dance would meet at the gathering point and connect the completed dragon lanterns together. Then, under the leadership of the dragon head and the dragon ball, they would perform garden tours, street parades and dragon dance performances.

The whole process lasts for five hours, and there is not a word about the underworld lantern, but at the end of the dragon lantern dance, it will end with a giant dragon entrenched and raising its head.

But after all, the information on the bulletin board was limited, and Li Ran got very little information.

"The underworld lantern is used for sacrifice, what do you want it for?" Uncle Ge raised his eyelids, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

Hearing this, Li Ran's face changed slightly, and he secretly yelled: "Damn it, you must have violated the taboos of your home, but Golden Finger didn't warn you of the danger."

But fortunately, Uncle Ge's next words made Li Ran breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's normal that you don't understand the rules of the community when you just moved in. If you go outside, you can't just talk to people about the dark lanterns. If my old man didn't really think you are a good person, he would treat you as a heretic." Uncle Ge said.

Li Ran gave Li Ran a warning look.

Li Ran frowned slightly, his mind was in chaos again.

Are underworld lanterns used for sacrifice?

Will you be considered a heretic if you inquire about the underworld lamp?

What is going on?

Uncle Ge poured a full cup of tea for Li Ran and said with an unhappy expression: "I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said. You can go."

After the tea was filled and given away, Uncle Ge issued an eviction order.

Li Ran nodded and left the security room.

"The underworld lantern is used for sacrifice, and I need the underworld lantern to find the gate."

Li Ran suddenly realized something.

"If you ask other people about the Dark Lantern, they will be regarded as heretics. Why?"

Do the indigenous people in the community believe in something?

The so-called crazy night of the tenth anniversary celebration was actually a huge sacrificial celebration?

The underworld lantern is used for sacrifice, and he needs the underworld lantern to find the realm gate. Doesn't this make him a public enemy of the entire district?

"Fuck!"

Li Ran's whole body felt bad.

I finally found out about Ming Deng, but it was bad news.

Damn it, I won’t let anyone live.

However, Li Ran did not leave because of this, but waited quietly outside the security room door.

About half an hour later, Uncle Ge walked out of the security room.

What he didn't notice was that a small paper figure next to his feet climbed up his trousers in a funny way, and finally stuck to his back with a smile.

"Master Ge."

Li Ran stopped Uncle Ge who came out to stretch his body.

"You haven't left yet?" Mr. Ge asked.

Li Ran did not plan on Zhou Xuan, but asked sharply: "How to find the Ming Lantern?"

Uncle Ge waved his hands impatiently, as if he wanted to drive people away, but what he said was indeed sincere.

"The Ming Lantern is the dragon ball after the sacrifice is completed."

Li Ran's ears perked up, and while the effect of [Zhiyin Paper Figure] was still there, he continued to ask: "What is being sacrificed in the celebration?"

Uncle Ge stared angrily and was furious, but said sincerely: "I really don't know about this."

Under Li Ran's control, the little paper man climbed down silently. Li Ran smiled and said goodbye to Uncle Ge.

The angry Uncle Ge was confused by Li Ran. What happened to that boy? He was still so happy after being scolded?

Uncle Ge spoke from the bottom of his heart and couldn't lie. He really didn't know what to sacrifice, but Li Ran was satisfied if he could find out the information about Ming Deng.

The Ming Lantern is the dragon ball that has been sacrificed.

"After the sacrifice is completed, we will find a way to steal the dragon beads. Next, we have to find out who is responsible for the dragon beads." Li Ran already had a plan in mind.

The work of the dragon lantern is assigned by the owners committee, which is next door to the property, on the first floor of Building 2.

Li Ran looked at the sky. At three o'clock in the afternoon, it was completely dark.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the owners' committee office, Li Ran saw Zhao Yingzhi inside.

Just when Li Rang wanted to go in, he received a reminder from Golden Finger.

(She is not Zhao Yingzhi!)

Li Ran frowned slightly and retreated to the door, thinking: "Is another soul in Zhao Yingzhi taking charge?"

He had been waiting for Zhao Yingzhi to take the initiative to explain that there were two souls in her body. Unfortunately, Zhao Yingzhi didn't mention a word, and Li Ran didn't know what her plans were.

Now that he had met him, Li Ran was also curious about what the purpose of this fake Zhao Yingzhi was?

"ah!!"

Suddenly, a shrill scream came from the office.

Li Ran's expression changed slightly, and he immediately escaped into the shadows.

When he disappeared underground, Zhao Yingzhi came to the door and looked out doubtfully: "Did I make a mistake?"

Not finding Li Ran at the door, Zhao Yingzhi returned to the office, stepped over the body of the front desk staff, and rummaged through the office to find something.

"who are you?"

But before she could find any useful information, another woman appeared in the office, apparently having heard the scream just now.

When the woman saw the body at Zhao Yingzhi's feet, her facial features were distorted with fear, she covered her mouth and her eyes widened in fear.

Zhao Yingzhi turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared.

The next second, Zhao Yingzhi appeared behind the woman like a ghost.

"Pfft!"

A bloody long knife emerged from the woman's chest!

With a sound of "Shua!", Zhao Yingzhi withdrew the long knife, and the woman fell to the ground with a muffled groan.

Then Zhao Yingzhi made a creepy move. She leaned over the wound on the woman's chest and drank blood!
