After I traveled through the book, I became an NPC in a horror novel

Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief when he received the notice that the three people were leaving. Cyril also stopped dancing, looked at Yang Guang's slightly sweaty forehead, and hugged him and swayed in place.

Cyril: “Tired?”

Yang Guang: “Yeah.”

But he was not so calm in his heart. Yang Guang felt that this dance had made up for all the exercise he had done in his previous life. He had never danced for such a long time before! Those players were too slow!

Cyril took Yang Guang back to his room and let him lie on the big sofa with his head on his legs. Cyril touched Yang Guang's face and said softly, "Go to sleep, you will be fine when you wake up..."

Yang Guang originally just wanted to take a short nap, but for some reason, he fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Yang Guang slowly opened his eyes and found himself back in the staff dormitory of the castle on the ground.

11: "Host, the players did not find the location of the Count yesterday."

Yang Guang: "Have they returned to the castle on the ground?"

11: "No, because they entered the underground castle on their own initiative, so they won't leave passively."

Yang Guang:?

Yang Guang: “Not all of them died, right?”

11: “No.”

Hearing this, Yang Guang turned over, washed, dressed, and knocked on Cyril's door.

"Knock knock knock."

No one answered. Yang Guang felt something was wrong and quickly opened the door, but there was no familiar figure in the room. So Yang Guang decided to go to the basement from Cyril's room to look for Cyril.

At this time, the players continued to stay underground, looking for the whereabouts of the boss.

Short-haired girl: "Although the rules say that we won't be attacked by monsters if we don't trigger the taboo, it's still a bit risky for us to stay here forever, right?"

The three of them crouched in some corner of the castle to avoid being discovered by the various strange-looking Spider-men wandering around in the corridor.

Man in Jacket: "But our progress is too slow now."

Xiao Ke listened to the other two people arguing in silence. The whole room was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

Yang Guang came out of Cyril's bathroom in the underground castle and walked out of the bathroom. As expected, he saw Cyril sitting in the old place.

Yang Guang: "What's going on? I'm back on the surface and you're still underground?"

Cyril looked up at Yang Guang with his hollow eyes: "Dear, I can't kill the demon that occupied my father's body, and that demon can't kill me either. I suppressed him underground, and he who recovered some of his strength also left my footsteps underground. After all, I am not a pure demon, and my abilities are not that pure."

Yang Guang was a little bit crazy. He didn't have much patience to begin with, and this damn Count just wouldn't die. Although it did make him relax to have a handsome guy flirting with him, who wouldn't want to get off work early?

Yang Guang scratched his head, looked at Cyril and said, "So where did you imprison the Earl?"

Cyril pursed his lips and said, "Do you want to find him, dear? This may require those little bugs to find him themselves..."

Yang Guang stretched out his leg and kicked the cabinet next to him. He guessed that the system would not tell the players directly about this kind of thing. The players had to find it themselves. The hair that was not tied up was caught and raised randomly in several places. Wait, can I, a passerby, give the players some pointers?

Yang Guang recalled a scene: when he pulled out the torn page that gave him a headache from the study on the ground floor, the two books on the bookshelf with the paper in between were very new, and the covers were very shiny, as if they were coated with oil.

Thinking of this, Yang Guang immediately asked the remaining players and wanted to go find them. After taking two steps, Yang Guang returned to Cyril's room and asked, "Can you only stay in this room?"

Cyril looked at Yang Guang and said slowly: "No, I just like staying in the room."

Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and said to Cyril: "If someone really comes to see the Earl, remember to help. Can you help?"

Cyril nodded gently after hearing this: "If my dear wants me to help, then of course I will do my best to help."

Hearing this, Yang Guang immediately left without looking back. On the way to find the players, Yang Guang kept thinking about how to subtly convey the message that "there may be a dark room in the study" to the players.

Yang Guang found the room where the player was and looked at the familiar door, his eyes slightly widened.

Yang Guang: "The player is hiding in my dormitory?"

11: "Yes, host."

Yang Guang: “…”

Yang Guang was speechless and was glad that he didn't suddenly turn into a living person like he did last night, otherwise he couldn't imagine how awkward it would be for him to stare at the players. After thinking about it, he opened the door and walked in, then closed it.

The short-haired girl, Xiao Ke, and the man in the jacket were frightened by the sudden opening of the door. Because as far as they knew, the other three players had either been killed or had never come to the underground. Although they found that the spiders would not step into the territory that did not belong to them, they were still afraid that some new species would suddenly appear. Seeing that it was the maid who was dancing strangely in the hall with the young master yesterday, they all took out their weapons and looked alert.

Yang Guang looked at the remaining three players and organized his words in his mind: "I know you are not ordinary people trapped in the forest. I also know that you are looking for the count."

These words shocked the three players in front of them.

Yang Guang: "I might know where the Earl is."

Then Yang Guang began to make up stories with her eyes open. She first told the players what they knew, such as the Count summoned a demon and was attacked back, and sacrificed someone, turning everyone in the castle into monsters, etc., in order to make the players trust her words. Then she changed the subject and began to say how pitiful Master Cyril in the castle was, and how even though he had been treated in such and such a way since he was a child, he still wanted to save others, so he suppressed the Count of Thorns, who had turned into a demon, underground. She and Cyril fell in love by chance, and a touching love story was born, so she decided to help Cyril kill the Count and help her lover regain his freedom.

After talking a bunch of nonsense non-stop, Yang Guang held himself together, somewhat sighing that his brain was still working so quickly after such a long time after the college entrance examination. It was really cause for celebration.

Xiaoke, the short-haired girl and the man in the windbreaker all had expressions of shock to varying degrees, and some were speechless about the clichéd and melodramatic story.

Short-haired girl: "I said he was a key NPC. So the reason we couldn't find the Earl wasn't because we missed something. We need to find the key person to lead us there!"

Words like "copy" and "system" said by players would not be heard by NPCs, but perhaps because Yang Guang was an artificial NPC, he heard every word of it.

Yang Guang secretly rolled his eyes in his heart: If I hadn't stopped working overtime to protect Cyril, you guys would have been stuck here for who knows how long.
