Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

Xi Mingzhu lowered his eyes and suddenly remembered that when they first met, Lu Tiannan had told him to call him Nan Nan, which was perhaps intimate enough.

"Nan Nan?" The tone was very cold.

Lu Tiannan, however, found it incredibly pleasant to listen to, a bright smile spreading across his face. He almost lunged at Shen Yi again, but remembering that he had touched that old bastard Russell during the fight earlier, he stopped himself, twirling his fingertips to restrain himself.

Nan Nan... Zhai Mingxu shuddered, a chill running down his spine.

Although he didn't want to become part of the game, he didn't forget that protecting Shen Yi was the key to clearing the level. So the light didn't weaken at all, keeping Shen Yi completely covered.

Lu Tiannan leaned close to Shen Yi's ear and whispered obediently, "Brother, tell me your name when we get back, okay? Until then, I'll be very good."

Xi Mingzhu looked at 0561, but 0561 pretended to be dead and remained silent.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Lu Tiannan paused for a moment and then whispered, "If it's difficult, I'll ask another question. What's your favorite name, brother?"

A low, lazy chuckle sounded, "There's no rush, we can talk about it when we get back."

Lu Tiannan had put it this way, and Xi Mingzhu knew that the other party had already decided that he was not Shen Yi, and probably knew it from the first meeting. There was no point in continuing to lie.

As long as others recognize him as Shen Yi, that's fine.

"it is good."

Everyone thought the bound followers wouldn't rebel again, but unexpectedly, Shen Yi, who was protected by the light circle, suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night.

Duke Russell and his entourage also disappeared.

"?!"

Lu Tiannan, unable to catch Shen Yi who had suddenly disappeared from his sight, immediately reacted and rushed out the door, heading straight for Duke Russell's bedroom.

Gu Junbo ran out after him, only to be left stranded at several corners of the corridor.

While the two people left in the room were still in shock, Jiang Yuzhou slowly woke up.

Jiang Yuzhou twisted his neck to loosen it up. "Forced sleep, you wouldn't even know if you were beaten to death in the night."

Looking around, something's not right, where are the people?

They've all vanished without a trace, like the lost paradise.

"Where are Shen Yi and Lu Tiannan?"

Gu Junbai, who was about to return, provided an answer.

"Shen Yi suddenly disappeared with Duke Russell. Lu Tiannan chased after them, but ran too fast and couldn't keep up."

"..." Jiang Yuzhou ground his teeth, thinking to himself that there couldn't be any more mistakes this time, could there? When will Lu Tiannan be able to rely on others? The whole room can't keep up with him.

Before 0561 could even be surprised at how they had returned to the birdcage incident, seeing a group of servants surrounding the host, she instantly realized that this was the frame where they were supposed to change clothes.

The storyline doesn't stagnate; even if you dodge the injections in the room, it continues to progress. This instance is meant to recreate the ordeal of Countess Campbell, so what does the ball three days later signify?

Xi Mingzhu would never wear such a thin, gauze-like short skirt; even those in brothels wouldn't dress like that.

Surrounded, Xi Mingzhu could only use his fists and legs to buy time, but what would happen next after this was over?

There are too many unknowns.

Lu Tiannan rushed towards Duke Russell's bedroom. The hidden staircase was open, and as he ran down, he saw Shen Yi punching and kicking an NPC. He was stunned for a moment.

He then chuckled and relaxed; this level of tension wasn't difficult for his brother. Only after relaxing did he realize why he had been so nervous the whole way.

Is it because we've established a relationship? When the other person is in danger, I panic completely. I become so flustered, as if the other person is my weakness and I shouldn't be acting this way.

Russell was still leisurely sipping his Burgundy wine, while Countess Campbell remained fast asleep in his sight.

Although Lu Tiannan really wanted to kill this old man, he had promised to obey, and he would definitely obey.

Xi Mingzhu was focused on fighting with the surrounding servants and didn't notice Lu Tiannan's arrival. It wasn't until Lu Tiannan kicked one of them to his knees that he looked at him in surprise.

Lu Tiannan smiled at him, knocking down the servant as he slowly said, "Brother, wait for me next time. I almost couldn't find you. I might go crazy if I lose you."

Seeing that the other party had blocked most of the servants, Xi Mingzhu felt much more at ease.

In terms of fighting ability, Lu Tiannan is truly top-notch. Whether it's strength or speed, even in high-intensity combat, Lu Tiannan can still hold his own with ease.

If Gu Junbai and Zhai Mingxu are at the forefront because of their talent, then Lu Tiannan relies entirely on his own strength; he seems to have been born for this game.

Xi Mingzhu explained calmly, "It's not something I can wait for whenever I want."

Taking down these servants was useless. Lu Tiannan was fast, but this endless scrambling was getting impatient, and he wanted to kill them.

He kicked one of the people next to him to the ground, then stepped on him to jump up and sweep across, kicking down several more.

Lu Tiannan tilted his head slightly, turned around and smiled at Xi Mingzhu, asking, "Brother, we can't kill Russell, but it's okay to get rid of these troublesome people, right?"

Xi Mingzhu knew the other party had the ability to deal with these people, but 0561 had also told him that using the Spider Dagger required sacrificing blood. This kind of self-damage… he didn't want Lu Tiannan to use it.

His tightly pursed lips slowly parted, and he frowned almost imperceptibly. "How do you want to kill me?"

Lu Tiannan narrowed his eyes slightly, twirling the dagger in his palm twice before stopping.

"Use a dagger, brother. Haven't you already witnessed my prowess?"

Xi Mingzhu thought to himself, "Just as I thought, they really don't cherish themselves at all."

To be honest, Lu Tiannan doesn't care about anything, which is why in the original storyline, despite having the strength to pass the seventh level, he always hindered Gu Junbai and Zhai Mingxu. The person in front of him has no desire to leave this game, and doesn't seem to have a strong desire to live either; otherwise, he wouldn't have desperately exhausted himself using the dagger for his own sake.

Xi Mingzhu looked at Lu Tiannan with a complicated expression. "If you're tired, I can continue to delay."

Lu Tiannan realized that Xi Mingzhu's words implied concern for him, which also revealed a problem—

"According to Gu Junbai, I went on a killing spree because of my brother's death, so shouldn't my brother know how I use the Spider Dagger?"

Upon hearing the question, Lu Tiannan confidently added.

“If my brother had ever seen me use a dagger, I would never have let him die in front of me.”

Xi Mingzhu hadn't expected Lu Tiannan to be so vigilant. It was hard to say whether his confidence or arrogance stemmed from the fact that he wouldn't have a chance to die in front of Lu Tiannan.

"You're too late. I was injected with an aphrodisiac by Russell; it was suicide. By the time you arrived, I was already shot and about to die."

"I see... How cruel, making my brother leave in front of me." Lu Tiannan's eyes held suspicion, but he accepted the explanation on the surface.

"This level of play isn't tiring, it's just that playing endlessly is boring. But I'm glad my brother cares about me, is that a privilege of being a boyfriend?"

"Besides you, I have no one else I want to care about."

I admit it; it's overly cute in a straightforward way.

Lu Tiannan chuckled happily, and when the fight resumed, he was even more energetic, as if he had been injected with stimulants.

Suddenly the servants disappeared from the cage, the cage door was locked from the outside, and a moment later Russell dropped his wine glass and smashed it to pieces.
