escape from nightmare game

"Why are you two here?" Seeing that it wasn't the Earl who came out, Shi Chen heaved a sigh of relief but was full of doubts: "Did you find the key clue?"

"No." Xi'an said discouragedly: "I thought we had checked for leaks, so I wanted to take another look, but I still didn't find anything."

When Xi'an saw people coming, he didn't want to leave. He invited them into the house, entertained them in his own place, locked the door, and sat on the sofa to sleep.

Wen Xue went into the room and looked at the desk subconsciously. There were traces of being turned over, but it was later than they had been swept by Erha before. Things were taken and put everywhere. He remembered that the suicide note was in the second drawer on the left.

"What are you looking for?" Xi'an asked suspiciously, "I've looked over there, and they're all documents, useless."

Wen Xue squatted there looking through a stack of documents in the drawer, but Shi Chen asked, "Did you find it?"

"Yes." Wen Xue took out a piece of paper, returned to the sofa, took out a yellowed letter from his pocket, and carefully compared it with his eyes.

Shi Chen had learned some skills in authenticating handwriting, so he only glanced at it twice, then he fell back on the sofa and said, "The will is a forgery. Not only the signature, it's all forged."

Lin Bao nodded, and said like a little adult: "Then the earl deserves it for his lack of legs."

"An illegitimate child?" Xi'an became more and more confused the more he listened, and suddenly remembered the previous conversation, and suddenly opened his eyes, "Does the old count really have an illegitimate child?"

Shi Chen nodded, and gave an overview of their guesses. His ability to summarize is quite strong.

Lin Bao didn't seem to be in a good mood today, or because he was frightened by those people at dinner, he didn't talk much, and what he said was thorny.But she was young, and her brain was normal when she spoke, so the adults didn't bother with her, and just smiled.

During the period, Earl Mande passed the door twice, but he didn't intend to come in. He didn't stop when he passed the door, but when they were about to leave, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

It turned out that the people who came were Ha Tong and another girl, and they also came to find clues.

"You are here too." Ha Tong swaggered into the study, looked around, "Do you have any clues?"

Shi Chen shook his head with regret, sighed before Xi'an said, "No, how about you?"

Ha Tongxin didn't speak at first, and silently glanced at the few of them, observed everyone's expressions carefully, smiled and said, "I just want to try my luck here because I don't have any clues. It seems that there are no clues here."

Several people parted ways with Ha Tong at the door of the study, until it was confirmed that no one followed, Shi Chen whispered, "We are the only ones alive, it's only the fourth day, how can we survive for two and a half days."

"How about this, let's divide into two groups, find people who are about the same age as the count, and check their backgrounds carefully. Generally, the servants in the castle, those of their age, have worked for the castle for several generations. Everyone The situation is clear, it is not difficult to investigate, and if there is a problem with the identity, share it this morning." Wen Xue rarely issued an order, but he looked decent.

Xi'an and Jiang Yitong looked at each other, they were not united until now, and being wiped out by the world's BOSS group was inevitable, so they didn't raise any objections.

Before leaving, Jiang Yitong negotiated a secret signal, in case one of them died and pretended to be a living person like Ha Tong, and it would be impossible to prevent them from being stabbed in the back.

Shi Chen looked at the two people who continued to walk down, and whispered: "Let them go like this, will they be fine?"

"No." Wen Xue held Lin Bao's hand tightly, as if he was holding his breath, and he let go of Lin Bao's hand until it hurt so much, "It's going to be all right, and you should be able to pass it safely in the next few days."

Shi Chen mistook Wen Xue's words to mean that the BOSS planned to stay until the sixth day for the massacre, so he took Wen Xue's hand and said that if he wanted to survive, he had to start working quickly.

It is not difficult to find out the identity of the butler. After checking the identities of other people in the castle, and finally leaving the butler who has not shown his face for a day and a half, he can dig out the truth from the old man of the castle.

It turned out that the old earl wanted to leave the inheritance to the steward, but Earl Mander had already planned it with the lawyer, so he successfully snatched the inheritance.At that time, the butler was only in his early twenties, young and energetic, and hired someone to break the earl's leg. At that time, the earl could send the butler to prison, but he chose to put away the evidence and took the opportunity to threaten his own brother to be his own butler. Personally, he has been torturing this younger brother.

Shi Chen couldn't sympathize with anyone about the story of the bloody relatives' inheritance. He just wanted to wake up as soon as possible.

However, in the next few days, they took the initiative to look for the earl, and they seemed to have disappeared. Not only did they meet in the castle, but they went to knock on the door of the earl's bedroom early in the morning, but they were in vain.

Those who have survived have no hostility towards them, except that they will turn into monsters at night and disturb their sleep everywhere, which is usually just a decoration.

Such a day went straight to the sixth day. On this day, the castle became very lively early in the morning. Many people appeared in the castle for no reason, and it was very busy inside and out.

Early in the morning, five people gathered in the dining room as scheduled. Xi'an and Jiang Yitong had dark circles under their eyes, and they must have not slept well for two days.In the past two days since they knew the truth, they frantically looked for the earl and the housekeeper. They didn’t even return to the room at midnight, waiting for someone in the earl’s room, but they never found anyone. Later, they simply stayed in the earl’s room all day. use.

Xi'an hadn't closed his eyes for two days, and his anger was very strong. He poked the dinner plate with a fork, and his chest heaved violently.

"Why are you not in a hurry? In this dream, we have less than 24 hours. If it is less than an hour in reality, if we can't figure out a way, we will die." Xi'an was aggressive, and suddenly got up with too much strength, knocking over a Table soup.

"Don't worry." Wen Xue held the cup with his hands in the air, and said leisurely: "The dance will start soon, and the host will definitely show up."

This idea is not a consolation, but it comforts Xi'an and makes him sit down obediently for half a minute.

Xi'an was quick-witted, turned around to think, and immediately stood up again, blushing and said, "How about appearing? We can wake up after we say the housekeeper? We haven't found the conditions for waking up at all. If our guess is wrong, They're all dead."

Wen Xue beat his hands a little too slowly this time, before he could pick up the cup in time, the hot milk was spilled all over his hands.

Wen Xue hates loud people, so he is very calm when he gets angry, except for those black eyes that are freezing cold, there is no change in the rest, but Shi Chen can see it at a glance.

After that, Xi'an spent a long time in vain, trying to find other clues to wake up.

In the evening, the ball officially started. Shi Chen thought that there would be a lot of people participating, but it turned out that there were only a dozen of them, and the servants from the entire castle, surrounded the entrance of the ball hall, obviously to prevent them from escaping.

Shi Chen was relieved when he saw the owner of the castle who arrived last, and he greeted politely, and was about to say the name of the butler, but Wen Xue said behind him: "I played with you to the end, it's time to let us go back. "

"No, it's not twelve o'clock yet." A clear female voice sounded.

Shi Chen took a deep breath, suspecting that he heard it wrong, he suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Bao, it was still the same as before, the meaty face made people want to pinch it twice, but those eyes were not the same as before brilliant.Deep in Lin Bao's eyes, there was an indescribable indifference and sternness. She lowered her eyes and stared at her toes, then suddenly raised her head to look at Wen Xue.

"I regret it." Lin Bao said coldly, "I won't let you go, I want you to stay here with me."

Not to the point of last resort, Wen Xue didn't want to expose himself in front of irrelevant people.

Wen Xue squatted as high as Lin Bao, and firmly grasped Lin Bao's arm with both hands, "Let them go, I'm not discussing with you."

"I don't!" Lin Bao exclaimed, "Stay and play with me."

Earl Mandel opened his hand and said, "Mr. Wen, why not stay here for a few more days, so that I can show my respect as a landlord."

Wen Xue lowered his face and looked down at Lin Bao. He looked the same as usual, but the oppression radiating from his body frightened away those monsters who were waiting for an opportunity. "What if I don't agree?"

Regarding Lin Bao's identity, everyone gradually came out of the shock, but they were not as timid as before.Shi Chen took the opportunity to bypass Lin Bao, returned to Wen Xue's side, wrapped his arms around Wen Xue's back, smiled and raised eyebrows at the expressionless Lin Bao.

The sky darkened quickly, there was still a little light in front, and it didn't take long for it to be completely dark, like splashed ink, the light of the wall lamp was dim, and the wall changed its shape at some point, and it looked like blood was splashed red.

Shi Chen leaned closer and said, "This little girl is playing with her temper."

Clasping the hands on his waist with five fingers, Wen Xue planned not to entangle him too much, as long as he kept Shi Chen, he didn't care about other people. He used to be in the way of the rules, but now Shi Chen's life is his rule.

After Wen Xue's hand held his own, Shi Chen felt a sense of drowsiness, and his eyes were instantly dark, but his consciousness was very clear, even clearer than when he was awake.

Walking alone in the dark, no one in sight, no end, fear will gradually be replaced by despair.

But Shi Chen walked among them, but he didn't feel too depressed, as if he had someone by his side, and he would walk with him endlessly.

"You can't drive me away."

"I'll be with you, it's okay if you don't wake up, I'll be here with you all the time."

"I like you."

Shi Chen seemed to be in a dream, and was awakened by his mind. When he woke up, he found Wen Xue sitting next to him, his brows were tightly frowned, his eyes were tense like never before, his hands were pinching the thin quilt, and his lips were tightly pursed. .

The feeling of falling before waking up was still there, Shi Chen broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and because of getting up, his face was a little embarrassed.

But Wen Xue didn't know, so he sat silently on the side for a while, mustering up the courage to break the embarrassment, "Tu Wanzi came here just now, and went back when he saw that we were fine."

The cold autumn morning light shone on Shi Chen's face, making his expression more indifferent. Shi Chen nodded in response. He hadn't recovered from the dream, and he held his breath in his chest. people.

Wen Xue clenched his hands and said in a hoarse voice, "Ten years ago... I did that, thinking it would be better for you."
