Pretty Fool's Live Clearance in Infinite World
Chapter 10 Castle 10
The sound came from a door at the end of the east corridor, and it seemed like someone was crying inside. He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go over and take a look.
——Oh my God, someone is crying, wife, please go away!
——It feels so dangerous, why don’t we go find Ji Gou!
——It’s eerie, something’s wrong on the fourth floor.
The barrage started to become unusually active from the first to the fourth floor.
The lights in the corridor on the fourth floor were dim, emitting a faint glow, giving people a feeling of oppression and mystery.
Lin Qi approached the door slowly, like a snail. Halfway there, one of the doors suddenly made a crisp snap, as if it were being violently pushed open. The sudden noise startled Lin Qi, his heartbeat accelerating and his body shaking uncontrollably. He stared at the door with wide eyes, terrified, and then, without hesitation, turned and ran.
However, just as he ran a few steps away, a familiar voice reached his ears, causing him to stop. He turned his head and locked his gaze forward.
"Lin Qi?" Qin Ye's cold face showed a hint of surprise, but when he saw that it was Lin Qi, the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated and became much softer. He took a big step and quickly walked up to the boy, asking with concern: "Why are you here?"
Seeing that it was Qin Ye, Lin Qi's fear was instantly relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes red as he muttered a little aggrievedly, "I came up to look for someone."
"Why are you here..." The boy blinked, seemingly still not fully recovered from the shock. He opened his eyes wide and asked Qin Ye somewhat dully.
Qin Ye frowned slightly, looked at the dazed boy in front of him, paused and replied, "I'm looking for someone too."
"By the way, there is crying sound coming from that door!" Lin Qi pointed to the door at the end of the corridor.
Qin Ye looked at the boy's red eyes, pitiful and cute, like a little rabbit, and said, "Do you want to go and take a look?"
"want…"
Qin Ye turned and walked towards the door. The boy immediately followed him, grabbing the man's clothes tightly and hiding behind him.
Qin Ye gently pushed open the door, and a stale smell hit him. The room seemed to have not been cleaned for a long time, and was covered in dust. The room was full of miscellaneous items, and a shabby bed was placed in the middle.
Qin Ye held the boy's hand and walked to the bed. There was a photo frame on the bedside table. Lin Qi picked up the photo frame and took a closer look. It showed a woman holding a little girl. The woman was wearing a black cheongsam and had black hair tied up behind her head. She was beautiful and charming. The girl was about seven or eight years old, with golden hair, and was as delicate as a doll.
"Is this the lady and daughter of the castle?" Lin Qi was puzzled. This couldn't be the lady's room? Why was it so shabby?
"Yeah." Qin Ye responded. Since entering the door, the man's eyes have been glued to the young man, as if everything that happened in the castle had nothing to do with him. He had no intention of looking for the lady of the castle.
Lin Qi looked around and felt something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
At this moment, he suddenly found something on the back of the photo frame. He gently took off the frame and found a letter hidden on the back. The date was also written on the back of the photo, xx10.11.11. It was now xx24, which meant that the lady was about 20 years old now.
He opened the letter and found that it was actually a love letter. It should be written by the boy to the lady. It turned out that the lady's name was Alice and the boy's name was Fed. The lady's mother did not agree with them being together and asked them to separate. The boy never gave up and wrote in the letter that he would come to see the lady tonight. The date was xx23.1.3, which happened a year ago.
So did Feder see Alice in the end? Why did the lady disappear? And is this room really the lady's room? Was the crying sound he just heard an illusion?
Without having time to think about it, Lin Qi's heart suddenly became nervous when he heard a sound outside the door. Could it be the housekeeper? The housekeeper meant that he should not go to the fourth floor, as it would be bad if he was discovered.
Qin Ye put his slender fingers to his mouth, signaling the boy not to make a sound. Suddenly, a woman's scream was heard, and it sounded like the sound came from this floor.
"Help! Murder!" Li Miao ran frantically on the fourth floor. She had just been in the bathroom on the third floor, where the lights flickered. Suddenly, she felt a chill running down her spine, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her from behind. She turned around, but saw nothing.
When she turned her head again, a pale figure appeared in front of her in the mirror. A girl was staring at her fiercely, her eyes revealing endless resentment and pain.
Li Miao ran desperately and accidentally ran to the fourth floor, where he saw her again at the end of the east corridor.
Her skin was as pale as paper, devoid of any blood, revealing a cold aura. Her eyes were hollow, with a strange light flickering in her black pupils, making people shudder. Her hair was scattered messily on her face, covering most of it. Her body was covered with blood and scars. She was wearing a white dress that had been stained red with blood, looking extremely dazzling and strange.
She turned around and wanted to go downstairs, but found that the staircase seemed to be surrounded by a barrier. Watching the girl approaching step by step, Li Miao turned and ran to the west side of the fourth floor, trying to open a door along the way. Unfortunately, it seemed that every door was locked.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm sorry..." Li Miao ran to the end of the west side, knelt down and kowtowed to the sobbing girl.
The ghost was still approaching, and its bloody hand reached out to Li Miao.
Inside the door——
Qin Ye looked at the young man with a panic expression, feeling both pitiful and scared. The young man looked up at him, pointed at the door, and signaled with his eyes that he wanted to go out and take a look.
The two came to the door, and the boy gently opened it. The lights in the corridor kept flickering. The boy quietly stuck his head out and looked at the corridor on the other side, just in time to see the female ghost reaching out her hand.
Lin Qi widened his eyes and looked at the female ghost in horror. The female ghost seemed to have noticed the boy's gaze, so she withdrew her hand, slowly turned her head, and looked at the boy with the corners of her mouth raised.
The boy's expression froze, as if he was scared silly. Although the female ghost turned her head, her body did not move at all. The distance was too far and the light was too dim, so the boy could not see the female ghost's appearance clearly, but he felt that the female ghost must be staring at him.
Although Lin Qi couldn't see the female ghost clearly, the system was very considerate and gave the live broadcast room a close-up shot.
—Ahhhhhhh, retreat! Retreat! Retreat!
——Baojuan, my eyes!
——I can’t accept this scene!
……
Seeing this, Qin Ye immediately stepped forward and hugged the boy tightly, while casting a cold gaze at the female ghost. The female ghost was frightened by his gaze and her body trembled involuntarily. Her already transparent figure gradually faded and finally disappeared completely into the air.
However, at this moment, Lin Qi discovered a strange phenomenon - the moment the ghost disappeared, her hair seemed to turn golden. This made him puzzled, but the situation was too tense and he didn't have time to think too much.
After the ghost disappeared, the boy's tense body suddenly became limp, as if it had lost its support. He could hardly stand. Fortunately, Qin Ye, who was standing beside him, supported him and prevented him from falling to the ground.
"There's a ghost..." The boy's voice was filled with tears, and tears welled up in his eyes, as if they could fall at any moment. He tightly grasped Qin Ye's arm. Qin Ye lowered his head and looked at the fragile boy in his arms, with a faint light in his eyes. He wished that the boy could always rely on him like this.
After a long time, the young man calmed down, came out of Qin Ye's arms, looked at Li Miao's curled up body opposite, glanced at Qin Ye, and motioned him to go over with him.
After the ghost disappeared, Li Miao curled up and couldn't open his body. He kept muttering to himself, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Let me go..."
"Are you okay?" the young man stood in front of Li Miao and asked.
Hearing Lin Qi's voice, Li Miao slowly raised his head and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a voice.
“What are you doing here?”
The appearance of the housekeeper startled Lin Qi. The housekeeper looked at Lin Qi and Qin Ye, then at Li Miao, frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to try not to go to the fourth floor?"
Lin Qi didn't say a word. Like a child who had made a mistake, he lowered his head, stood there silently, and waited quietly to be criticized.
Seeing this, the housekeeper didn't say anything more, but silently led the three of them downstairs. When they were halfway down, they found Ji Yuan and Song Jing standing at the stairs on the third floor.
Seeing the young man come downstairs safely, Ji Yuan finally felt relieved. Just now, when he went to Wu Xuewen's room to look for Lin Qi, Wu Xuewen told him that the young man seemed to have gone up to the fourth floor. So, he hurried over to look for him.
After the housekeeper went downstairs, he emphasized again seriously: "Remember, don't go to the fourth floor again."
Hearing this, Lin Qi raised his head, opened his big watery eyes wide, looked at the housekeeper, blinked, and explained softly: "We just went to look for the young lady." As he spoke, his eyelashes trembled slightly, like a frightened butterfly.
The butler looked at the innocent expression on the boy's face and softened his tone. A smile appeared on his gentle and handsome face as he patiently explained, "The doors on the fourth floor are usually locked. It's impossible for the young lady to be up there."
"Okay," the boy seemed to understand and stopped pestering.
"This housekeeper is a liar. The young lady's room is clearly upstairs, yet they won't let us go to the fourth floor." The young man angrily complained to the system.
Seeing that Lin Qi seemed to have nothing to say, the housekeeper looked at everyone and smiled and said, "It's getting late. You can go and see the young lady tomorrow. Please do as you please."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Qi and said, "Let me take you back to your room, little guest."
"unnecessary"
"Need not"
Two voices directly rejected Lin Qi's request.
"No need." Ji Yuan's arrogant face darkened and he pressed down the corners of his mouth.
"No need." Qin Ye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. His voice was as cold as the Arctic wind, with a biting chill that made people shiver.
Hearing Qin Ye's words, the housekeeper still kept a smile on his face, but his eyes became sharp. He stared at Qin Ye closely and said calmly, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?" Although there was a hint of provocation in his words.
Seeing that the situation was getting tense, Lin Qi said, "Why don't we go down together? We're all in the same room anyway."
[I don't understand what they're arguing about. Why don't we just go together?] Lin Qi said to the system doubtfully.
[Because they are sick.] The system said coldly, he had long disliked the group of men around the host.
Lin Qi felt that the system had some personal grudges.
