Lin Ran

After being suffocated by the Female Specter sewn-up stomach, Mi Chuchu returned to the multiple-choice questions with a pale face, staring at the two sure-fire options with a headache.

She'd already made her choice to refuse, and having just died and returned to the afterlife, she already knew about the two men's ill intentions. If she agreed, she definitely couldn't choose to accept.

"Experience the art of dying in style." Mi Chuchu shrugged and whispered to her teammates.

Seeing that she could still joke around, everyone felt relieved.

"Since both choices will lead to death, we might as well agree to his request first," An Ying said.

Mi Chuchu hesitated before nodding. She only had four lives left, so she had to be more careful. These deaths had all come unexpectedly, and she couldn't let the number of deaths make her lose respect for life.

The most dangerous thing is when someone thinks, "So what if I die? I have several lives to spare." Not valuing life, having no respect for life, and becoming arrogant and conceited are the most terrifying aspects of this Instance.

Once Mi Chuchu understood this, her agitated emotions gradually calmed down.

She had been a bit impatient before; these options always had countdowns to urge her to make a choice, presenting one confusing option after another, all to disrupt her mind. If she kept following the pace of this Instance, it would truly be a dead end.

Mi Chuchu took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, she had regained her composure.

Faced with your neighbor's invitation, you choose:

A: Promise him.

B: Reject him.

"Okay, but I just remembered, the things Dad bought for me are still in the car. I need to go get them." Mi Chuchu chose A, quickly ran to the stairs, and smiled at the two of them. "Thank you for your concern, Uncle and Aunt. You're so kind."

The woman followed her out the door, saying, "Oh, okay, okay, be careful going downstairs. Or should I come with you?"

As Mi Chuchu walked down the street, she called out loudly, "No need, thank you, Auntie, you're such a kind person! I'll be right back!"

After saying this, Mi Chuchu turned a corner on the second floor and hid behind a door, with the couple following closely behind her.

The man only had half a body, cut off at the waist, and walked using only his hands. The woman was normal, but the feigned gentleness on her face was gone, replaced only by disgust.

"That little brat runs fast." The woman kicked the man disdainfully. "Look at yourself now. If you weren't so useless, would I have wanted someone else's child?"

The man said impatiently, "I know, next time stop talking nonsense and just tie them up, okay? What's with the fake good guy act?"

"What do you know? Do you think it's easy to catch a son?"

"Sigh, let's go back."

Seeing the two return upstairs, Mi Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief.

"What kind of freaks are the people in this neighborhood? Some of them even target other people's children?" Sheng Qingqiao clicked his tongue in amazement. He had been on missions for many years and had seen quite a few people, but he had never seen anyone steal a child like this.

Qin Rang pondered for a moment and said, "So many things happened that day, and Lin Yi was just a child. How did he manage to avoid all those dangers?"

"Now, from a child's perspective, if his parents won't let him into the house and the neighbors are watching him, where would he go?"

"He'll probably find a place to hide, somewhere that's safe enough to see his house," Wang Ding said.

Mi Chuchu said, "I feel like I've been running for my life ever since I came in. I need to find a safe place to hide for a while."

Why are you running for your life?

A clear, boyish voice came from behind her. Mi Chuchu was about to reply when she suddenly realized something was wrong. Several of her teammates were in front of her, so who could that voice be...?

She turned around abruptly, and there stood a handsome young man behind her.

The child was very good-looking, with fair skin, clean and tidy clothes, and a pair of big, dark eyes. He was about the same age as Lin Yi.

A sense of familiarity subconsciously popped into Mi Chuchu's mind. She knew that Lin Yi's emotions were affecting her again.

"Who were you talking to just now?" the boy asked, blocking the exit behind the door. "Are you playing hide-and-seek here?"

Another notification popped up in front of Mi Chuchu's eyes.

Faced with your child's question, you choose:

A: Deceive him

B: Ignore him

C: Talk to him]

Mi Chuchu initially thought that being discovered by this child was just an accident, but now it seems that when Lin Yi was locked outside the door back then, he must have also escaped from the clutches of that couple and encountered this child.

What is the connection between Lin Yi and this child?

"No, I'm being chased by bad guys, so I'm hiding here." Mi Chuchu lowered her voice, deliberately speaking mysteriously, "My neighbors are bad guys, they kidnap children! Don't tell anyone!"

The boy laughed and said, "You're kidding me, I don't believe you."

"Fine, don't believe me then. You should go home now."

The boy said, "Okay, it's almost lunchtime. My parents are still home. Would you like to come to my house for dinner?"

Faced with the boy's invitation, you choose:

A: Promise him.

B: Reject him.

Mi Chuchu said, "No, my parents are still waiting for me at home."

"But I heard your Dad arguing. It's better to stay away at this time. When my parents argue, they always make me hide in my room and not watch," the boy said. "By the way, what's your name?"

Mi Chuchu said, "Lin Yi."

"Lin Yi, you're so quiet! My name is Lin Ran, you can call me Xiao Ran. We'll be good friends from now on, let me take you to my house!"

Faced with Lin Ran's invitation, you choose:

A: Promise him.

B: Reject him.

An Ying said, "Again?"

Bai Yang: "It feels a bit like being forced to choose."

Mi Chuchu still refused. "I don't like playing."

"It's okay, I can keep you company while you watch TV. It's too pitiful for you to be here all alone."

Faced with Lin Ran's invitation, you choose:

A: Promise him.

B: Reject him]

The pop-up window reappeared, and like a virus, it seemed to keep appearing as long as he didn't agree.

Mi Chuchu pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay."

"But I won't go to your house, we can play outside."

No matter how many times this option pops up, given Lin Yi's current mood, she definitely won't agree to go to someone else's house. If she really agreed, she would definitely waste another life.

"I know, you don't want to see adults, do you? I sometimes feel the same way, they're so annoying," Lin Ran said. "Then wait for me here, I'll come back to play with you later."

"Good."

"It's settled then. You stay here and hide well, don't let anyone find you."

After Lin Ran finished speaking, she left happily. Mi Chuchu got up without hesitation and changed her hiding place.

She planned to go up to the fourth floor and find a place to hide. This way, she could easily observe what was happening in the house and would be more concealed.

Tao Yuan and the others followed Mi Chuchu away, while Bai Yang and Moonlit Night chatted behind them. As the Writer passed by them, his Wheelchair was pushed by chibi-style hands, who gestured for them to look back.

Qin Rang remained where he was and did not leave.

"Qin Rang, what are you looking at?" Bai Yang shouted.

Qin Rang snapped out of his reverie and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just feel like this kid looks familiar."
