I rely on otome games to play through the escape world

Thanks to it, Xu Wenhao had to face the Earl in advance, and now he just wants to squash this thing flat.

The bear puppet stared at him with dark eyes, with an innocent expression on his face.

Xu Wenhao: I still want to step on it.

But he didn't move his feet in the end.

After all, it turned out to be the earl's property.To step on it may be equivalent to stepping on the earl's face.

Thinking about it now, is it possible that Bear's behavior so far is the earl's intention?

First he chased him with a knife on the first day, then changed his attitude to help him investigate the next day, and kicked him into the earl's room at night.

"..."

and many more.

Xu Wenhao suddenly thought of a possibility.

Every action of Little Bear seems to be pushing him to the "truth".

Is it helping him find clues?

Thinking on the bright side, it's not impossible.In other words, the Earl wanted to help him?

Xu Wenhao looked at Little Bear again.

Seeing that he hadn't moved, the other party sat back on the ground and returned to the puppet appearance again.

It seems things are getting more complicated.

According to the original plan, Xu Wenhao came to the library.

This time it was the little bear who opened the door for him.

However, due to the lessons learned from the past, Xu Wenhao was very wary of the little bear, worried that he would be kicked in front of something again.

Fortunately no.

But different from the daytime, this time he managed to find the big thick book.Just like last night, it was quietly spread out on the table, as if no one had touched it.

Xu Wenhao thought it was taken away by someone.But when I saw this scene, I felt wrong.

Some clues can only be seen at night.

Opening the book, he quickly found what Babyface said this morning.

[A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.Pay the corresponding price to the gods, and all wishes will come true]

[The rules of the sacrificial ceremony are cumbersome and strict, and the following materials need to be prepared in advance.And during the sacrifice process, you must not be disturbed by external forces]

Since then, various types of sacrifices have been recorded in the book.

Those who want money, exchange "health"; those who want power, exchange "emotions and six desires"; those who want revenge, exchange "reason".

No matter what you want, you need to pay a corresponding or even greater price.

Xu Wenhao turned to the end.

[Those who want to be resurrected can exchange "the soul of their lover"]

Xu Wenhao stopped.

The reason why I noticed this sentence was not only because "lover" was mentioned, but also because it was annotated.

resurrection?

Thinking of Earl's non-existent "lover", Xu Wenhao suddenly understood.

This "lover's soul" should not refer to the count's lover, but the count himself.

The earl held a sacrificial ceremony in order to resurrect his "lover".But something went wrong during the ceremony, which led to backlash.The whole house became a funeral object, only the earl and the butler remained.

If this is the case, it is understandable why the butler is looking for a way to kill the earl.Because he wants to leave.

Xu Wenhao closed the book and looked at Little Bear.

"I look a lot like that 'lover'?"

Bear: "..."

Xu Wenhao probably understood where the earl's unreasonable favor came from.

The other party was not looking at him, but was looking at his long-dead "lover" through him.

Stand-in.

Xu Wenhao wiped his face.

A taboo among taboos in Otome games.Generally, as long as this stalk is used, the screenwriter has to be mentally prepared to be sent a blade by the player.

Xu Wenhao didn't care.Originally, he attacked the earl just for the mission, whether he was a substitute or not, it would be a good thing for the earl to help him.

It's just this stand-in meme, which must not be discovered by the live viewers!

Leaving the library, Xu Wenhao didn't encounter any rotten corpses or black shadows, and returned to the room safe and sound.

I don't know how long before dawn, he lay back on the bed.

While his sleepy eyes were dim, he suddenly heard a loud noise from outside the door.Then there was a hasty cry.

"Let go of me! Help!"

Xu Wenhao opened his eyes.

Although the windows in the room have been nailed to death, light can still pass through vaguely.It's dark outside now, and it's not daylight yet.

The shout was a male voice, coming from another tenant.

"Skill!" The man panicked, "Damn it, damn it! Why can it only be used once?!"

Xu Wenhao heard footsteps approaching, the man seemed to have escaped, and kept knocking on the door.

"Who's still awake? Help me, let me in!"

No one answered the door.

The sound is so loud, no matter how much you sleep, you should wake up long ago.But without knowing the situation, no one dared to open it easily.

Xu Wenhao rolled over and got out of bed.The person who came was probably the butler.

Thinking back to what the girl said before, it is estimated that the same mistakes will be repeated today.That tenant has already used his skills, and it will be a matter of time before he is caught.

"No, don't! Don't come here!" The man's voice became more and more shrill.

you?

Xu Wenhao was stunned.

The butler is not the only one outside?

He stopped his hand on the doorknob.

Now that the skill cooling time has passed, maybe he can help outsiders.But if there are more than one person, he will definitely not be able to do it.

The skill can only be used once, and the target is only for one person.And he wasn't sure if the bear would make a move.

"Ahhhh!!!"

After only such a moment of hesitation, the man's screams came from outside the door, as if his fingernails had scraped the blackboard fiercely, extremely shrill.Then, like a tape jammed, the sound stopped abruptly.

The time was so silent, and there was no movement outside.It's as if nothing ever happened.

Xu Wenhao only felt a chill down his spine.

He wanted to see what was going on.But after all, he held back his curiosity and sat on the head of the bed.

Obviously, the tenant may be in danger.

He couldn't sleep at all.Little Bear sat quietly on the table, his black eyes staring straight at the door.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Dong dong."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Xu Wenhao looked out of the door in shock.But he quickly realized that it wasn't his own door that knocked, but the one next door.

He clearly remembered that the person living next door was Lu Yu's companion, that boy with a baby face.

"Good morning, are you up yet?"

The butler's inquiry came from outside the house.

The sound insulation in the room was surprisingly good. If he hadn't been awake, he would not have noticed it in his sleep, let alone the tenants who were farther away.

It's no wonder that when the man was taken away yesterday, no one noticed except the girl who lived next door.

But what's the situation now?One person has died, is it okay to open the door now?

Xu Wenhao listened attentively.

After a while, the door next door seemed to be opened.No human voice was heard.

There was neither protest nor yelling.

There was a hint of a smile in the butler's tone: "Please follow me, breakfast is downstairs."

"..."

After that, everything was quiet again.

Xu Wenhao confirmed that he could no longer hear the sound.

Babyface didn't seem to notice anything wrong.So, this time it was really just asking them to eat?

He looks out the window.The curtains had been drawn, and the boarded-up windows could be seen at a glance.

At this time, the sky seemed to be brighter, with a faint gleam.

Not long after, there was a knock on his door.The butler's inquiry came from outside.

Xu Wenhao still had some resistance before opening the door.Just heard about that with my own ears, so I can't be 100% sure it's safe outside.

But even if he kept shrinking in the room, he couldn't figure out any truth.

Many clues have been found so far.

But what he still doesn't understand is what kind of role the housekeeper plays in this.The tenants who were taken away every day were taken away.

Xu Wenhao opened the door.

The butler stood outside the door, as usual.

"Good morning. How did you rest last night?"

Xu Wenhao responded vaguely, and looked at the person behind the housekeeper.Besides him, several other tenants were also there.

It was Lu Yu and the mustache.Babyface is gone.

Xu Wenhao murmured in his heart.

Thinking of the previous conversation between Babyface and the housekeeper, could it be that he had already gone downstairs earlier?

After he came out, the butler went to knock on the door of the next lodger.But this time, no one responded for a long time.

It's the girl's room.

"Dong dong."

"Dong dong."

After the initial inquiry, the butler kept knocking on the door rhythmically, as if he was sure that the people inside must be awake.

Xu Wenhao was terrified to hear that voice, and said, "Maybe he's still sleeping, let's go down first."

After the words fell, the housekeeper froze.

"It's true." He turned his head and looked over, and smiled, "However, dinner can only be served when everyone is present."

Xu Wenhao recalled yesterday's experience.It was true that the housekeeper let them start after he arrived.

At this time, there was finally a response from the door.

"I, I won't go." The voice was a little weak, with a hint of crying, "I don't want to open the door!"

First, the residents next door were taken away without anyone noticing, but there were screams when someone resisted this morning.She couldn't take it anymore.

The butler knowingly asked, "May I ask what happened?"

The girl didn't answer, but kept repeating "I won't go out, I won't go out".

Xu Wenhao remembered that the girl didn't touch anything yesterday.In addition, on the first day I came here, I haven't eaten anything for nearly two days.

Even if the flow of time here is relatively fast, but if this continues, you may faint first due to exhaustion.

He was about to say something, but the butler turned around and said to everyone: "It seems that today's breakfast can only be cancelled."

"What, what?" Mustache was taken aback.

The housekeeper smiled: "Please rest well."

"Wait—!" Mustache wanted to say something, but the housekeeper turned and left.

He didn't dare to chase after him, but he couldn't help feeling depressed.

He was also very scared to come to such a ghostly place suddenly!

The number of people decreased one by one.The bloody corpse, the only companion who could talk to him this morning, also disappeared.

I vomited up everything I ate yesterday, including the day before yesterday, and I didn't eat it last night because of nausea.

Now, Mustache knows only that he is hungry.

That kind of thing happened this morning, and he was too scared to open the door.But when I heard the word "breakfast", I still couldn't resist the temptation.

He wants to eat and he wants to drink water!

If it wasn't for this timid woman, he would already be sitting downstairs by now!

The more the mustache thought about it, the more angry he became.But he didn't dare to get mad at the housekeeper, so he could only stare bitterly at the girl's room.But after all, he didn't do anything, and went back to the room clutching his stomach.

Things don't look good.

Xu Wenhao watched the back of the mustache.

Even now I can bear it.But if the girls don't open the door all the time, they can't get food all the time.In the end, you may not be able to control your emotions.

"Not much time."

Xu Wenhao heard Lu Yu speak.He turned his head to look, and the other party's eyes were hidden under the lens, so he couldn't see clearly.

"Fang Zhen is dead." Lu Yu's voice was slightly hoarse.

Xu Wenhao was stunned for a moment before he realized that Fang Zhen was the name of that baby face.
