Chapter 9 Are the newcomers so scary now?
"Can you help me find an umbrella?" The female shopkeeper, who was nearly half a head shorter than Lu Yao, suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao suddenly smiled and said, "Okay."

The female shopkeeper's cloudy eyes rolled, and she licked her lower lip with the tip of her blood-red tongue. There was a hint of excitement in her narrowed eyes.

"My umbrella is a black umbrella with no patterns on it. It has twenty-four ribs... it's very... beautiful."

Lu Yao wrote down what the female shopkeeper said, but found that the female shopkeeper still did not leave her sight.

Lu Yao thought of the brooch in his pocket and took it out.

The moment she saw the brooch, the female shopkeeper's eyes changed, and the yin energy around her body increased.

Lu Yao threw the brooch across the corridor before the female shop owner rushed over.

Female shopkeeper: "..."

Lu Yao clapped his hands, "Now I don't have any red items on me. Also, aren't you going to chase them?"

The female shopkeeper twitched her lips, did she think she was a dog? As a dungeon, is she shameless?

However, the female shopkeeper only hesitated for two seconds before suddenly turning her head and walking towards the direction where the brooch was thrown, at an astonishing speed.

Customers are not allowed to bring red items into her store.

Never allow it!

Lu Yao watched the female shopkeeper walk away, then recovered and began to think about where to find the black umbrella.

She had seen all the oil-paper umbrellas in the store before, but none of them were black.

However, the system will not give out tasks for no reason. Since it says it wants to find it, there must be one in this inn.

……

Xu Yi didn't know why he ran out of the room with Ji Ran in the middle of the night.

Maybe she was having a mental disorder.

Looking at Ji Ran pacing back and forth on both sides of the corridor, Xu Yi subconsciously shrank his neck.

"Ji Ran, are you looking for something?"

Ji Ran slapped a hand on the wall of the corridor and turned his head when he heard the sound.

Her face was a little ugly, and her tone was irritated, "No."

She clearly remembered that the dungeon props would appear on the second night. Did Lu Yao really have to be present to get them?
"Then should we go back? It's too dangerous for us to run out in the middle of the night," Xu Yi looked behind him. It was so dark here, and he always felt as if a monster would run out at any time.

Ji Ran seemed to be aware of the current danger and nodded, "Well, let's go back."

Gululu...

In the corridor, there was a sudden soft sound, as if something rolled down from the opposite side.

Xu Yi was frightened by the sound, and Ji Ran covered his mouth before he screamed.

"Don't make any sound." Ji Ran held Xu Yi down and looked in the direction of the sound.

The next second, Ji Ran felt something roll to his feet.

She looked over subconsciously, and when she saw clearly that it was a brooch set with red rhinestones, her expression suddenly changed.

After realizing what it was, Ji Ran turned around and ran away.

"Ji Ran, wait for me!"

When Xu Yi came back to his senses, he saw that Ji Ran had run away and immediately chased after him.

As the two left, the female shopkeeper suddenly appeared. She leaned over to pick up the brooch on the ground, and threw it directly into the closed umbrella the next second.

The sound of chewing sounded in the empty corridor. The female shopkeeper narrowed her eyes with satisfaction and left with a smile.

……

In the front hall of the inn, Lu Yao stood under the upside-down umbrella array and raised his head.

Almost at the same time, the oil-paper umbrella that was originally silent began to shake.

It felt like shaking.

Lu Yao stood below, occasionally moving his eyes.

As his eyes moved, the oil-paper umbrellas that Lu Yao was 'watching' swayed obviously more violently. Lu Yao touched her face. She was not a monster. How could she be so scared?
Not finding the black umbrella, Lu Yao decided to change places.

The system asked her to find the black umbrella before dawn, and now there were only three hours left before dawn.

Lu Yao A living person 'wandering' in the inn late at night will naturally attract some strange attention.

The strange thing is that the strange monsters lurking in the darkness did not rush out to attack Lu Yao after seeing her.

There was a rustling sound in the darkness, and the low-level shadow ghosts shivered in the darkness.

【Is it her? Is it her? 】

【It’s her! 】

[Uuuuuuuuuah, I was almost beaten to death by her with a broom just now...]

[I heard that she has killed many monsters. 】

[Are all newcomers this scary now? 】

【Who knows, I don’t want to die yet. 】

【…】

Lu Yao, who was focused on looking for the black umbrella, didn't know that she already had a "bad reputation" in the dungeon. She turned around and looked at another corridor.

During the day, she saw that the man named Wu Ren was the one who entered behind the female shopkeeper.

Although he didn't know what was over there, judging from Liu Cheng's reaction, Wu Ren should have discovered something.

"What could it be?" Lu Yao was suddenly curious.

Thinking about it, Lu Yao had already stepped into the dark corridor with one foot.

The corridor was dark, and the wooden floors creaked.

Lu Yao took out the candle he brought from the room from his pocket and lit it.

There was an ink painting hanging on the wall. When Lu Yao walked all the way to the end of the corridor, the painting stretched all the way to the end.

"What a long painting." Lu Yao stopped. Apart from the painting on the wall, there were no doors, windows or other hangings here.

Suddenly, the painting on the wall suddenly moved.

Lu Yao approached curiously, but a pale and thin hand suddenly stretched out from the painting.

Before Lu Yao could react, he was pulled in by that hand.

The dazzling light hits. It took Lu Yao a few seconds to finally adapt.

When she opened her eyes again, she realized that she was on the streets of a small town.

The painting in the inn is like a door connecting here.

Lu Yao couldn't tell for the time being whether this was a real street in an ancient town or a world in a painting.

But she knew that the ancient town had curfew regulations, and no living person was allowed to move around after dark. However, this article does not limit weirdness.

It would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous for her to appear alive on the streets of the ancient town at night.

Lu Yao still had a mission. Even though he knew that the streets of the ancient town at night were dangerous, he could only grit his teeth in order not to lose half of his health points by the garbage system.

Lu Yao wiped the rain off his face and saw several figures walking out of the alley opposite.

Each of those people held an umbrella of different colors in their hands, but unfortunately, none of them was black.

Even so, Lu Yao's eyes lit up for a moment.

"Since there are so many colors, maybe you can actually find a black one!"

At the same time, those people apparently discovered Lu Yao.

They turned their heads to look at Lu Yao, a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes.

Lu Yao clearly saw the skinless faces of the people holding the umbrellas, leaving only a blur.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Yao ran away.

A good man can't bear the immediate consequences, and neither can a girl!

Although she can fight, she is no better than before. Now she is just a pure newcomer. She doesn’t even have any props in her hand, just one or two monsters. Now that there are so many people chasing after her, of course she has to choose the safest way—— Ran!
