Otoko Game: Male protagonists, I’m just a scumbag

Wei Lan reacted now and realized that there were people surrounding them in front of them, staring at them as if they wanted to cut them into pieces.

Damn...

Louis quickly changed direction and headed to the other side.

Wei Lan really couldn't understand this road. He only knew that the road leading to Duke Stu and the palace was surrounded by people.

I guess even if we pass the first level, the number of people behind us will only increase and not decrease.

"Then what do we do now?"

Wei Lan was a little panicked. They all knew his identity now. If he didn't rush to the palace, he should find Duke Stu first and ask him to help him.

Estimating things will only make things more difficult.

"Detour."

Louis called back.

Wei Lan nodded with his back to him. If he forced his way in, he would probably be surrounded from all sides. It would be better to leave them confused.

But what surprised him was that Wei Lan looked at the road ahead, which was getting farther and farther away from the city center.

Louis rode his horse without slowing down, and even did not hesitate at any time when turning at the intersection.

This is a bit strange. He has not been in this country for long and has not had time to move around often, so he should be unfamiliar with this place.

But then he changed his mind and thought that he was a knight after all, so it wouldn't matter if he got to know these things quickly.

Gradually, as they got closer to the edge of the city, the population became sparser, and they even arrived at a somewhat abandoned city.

Apart from the short and old buildings, there are ancient Gothic-style spires that seem to reach the sky everywhere.

He had been here for a long time, but had never been to such a far place, except for the forest and remote towns. He didn't expect that there was a town at the outermost end of the other side.

It's dead here, you can't feel any life, and there are only three colors: white, gray and black, which makes people feel extremely oppressive.

They rode quickly in this direction for a long time. Wei Lan turned his head back several times and found that there were fewer and fewer people following them, and finally there were no people at all.

It seemed like they had either thrown us off, or they were planning to block all the ways back.

If all the routes back were blocked, there would be no point in them taking the long way around.

Could it be that they already knew where they were going?

"Louis, I feel something is wrong..." Wei Lan noticed something and turned around to look behind him, then called him.

But I didn't expect to get no response for a long time. I turned my head and looked up at Louis, only to find that something was wrong with him.

Although his hands were still holding the horse's reins, his forehead was covered with sweat. If it was because of the rain before and the wind had not rained this way, there would be no sweat on his forehead.

Even now he felt a little cold, and his brows were never relaxed, and his hands holding the reins became more and more tight.

The blue veins on the back of his hand became more and more clearly visible, and Wei Lan noticed something strange. Logically speaking, he didn't have any major wounds on his body, and superficial injuries shouldn't be so serious.

Could it be that he was injured in the back?

"What's wrong with you?" Wei Lan asked quickly, fearing that he would collapse soon:

"Did you hurt your back badly?"

Louis seemed to react at this moment. He closed his eyes, frowned, and shook his head fiercely, causing his gray-silver hair to flutter a few times.

"Master, it seems we have to go back quickly..." Louis gripped the reins tightly again and whipped the horse harder.

The horse howled, then turned around and ran even faster.

The cool breeze after the rain stopped blowing on my body was very refreshing.

But as soon as the horse turned around, Wei Lan pulled his clothes back and said:

"Wait a minute, we need to go back quickly, but you need to tell me if your back is injured? We'd better clean and bandage it first."

If those people were guarding well on the way back and he really felt unwell, I'm afraid both of them would die here.

In this case, it would be better to find a place to hide for a while.

"nothing."

It felt like he was gritting his teeth when he said these two words, and Wei Lan knew that he seemed to be seriously injured somewhere.

But before he could give them any advice, several dark shadows suddenly appeared in the thick fog ahead on a rainy day, and they were getting closer and closer to them at a very fast speed.

Almost in the next second, the group of people emerged from the shadows, and when Louis saw them for the first time, he changed direction.

Head down the alleys of this abandoned town.

Wei Lan was shocked when he saw them. This was too strange. The direction they were heading back was not the same way they came.

I guess these guys have people coming from all the roads they know.

Once you walk into the back of the alley, there are only two roads on the left and right, and there are abandoned buildings all around.

"dismount."

When Wei Lan heard Louis utter these two words, he glanced back and jumped down first.

He then jumped down obediently, and was about to ask him what solution he had in mind.

The other end immediately whispered:

"Hide in."

"Ah?" As soon as he said that, Wei Lan glanced at the back of the alley or the door of the building.

There was no other way now, and the sound of the horses' hooves behind was getting louder and louder, so Wei Lan had to run over quickly.

As soon as he ran in, he pulled the door of the corridor closed, turned around, jumped on his horse, and left a sentence:

"Master, stay here, I'll be back to pick you up soon."

Wei Lan looked outside and watched him leave, thinking that he really wasn't going to leave him here and run away. If so, then their master-servant friendship would end here forever!

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves from the other side had turned into the alley, and appeared in front of Wei Lan the next second.

He quickly turned sideways and hid in the shadow of the broken door, his heart pounding.

The people on the horses outside didn't stop at all. It seemed that they saw Louis' shadow in the distance and didn't expect that there was another person.

Good brothers, we share the hard times!

Wei Lan silently gave Louis a thumbs up in her heart, prayed that nothing would happen to him, and started hiding inside.

After a long while, there was no sound around.

He glanced at the corridor and the stairs leading upstairs, and remembered that there seemed to be a ceiling on top of the building.

So I climbed up the stairs in the dark and walked to the second floor. Sure enough, there was an open-air terrace at the top.

Looking down, you can basically see clearly the areas that are not obscured by fog.

The town looked even more desolate from here, with the black, white and grey making the clothes he wore the only bright colours.

Wei Lan tried his best to hide himself so that no one around would notice him, and he kept watching the two directions from which Louis would come back.

There was nothing to do here but to stare blankly ahead. Every second he waited he would imagine something had gone wrong, and he became a little impatient.

This gave it an urge to go down, but as someone who didn't even have the knack of a cat kick, if he ran into anything out, he would probably be dead.

"Why haven't you come for so long..."

He murmured and began to consider whether he should learn some self-defense skills when he returned.

Otherwise, I'd be too weak to be a man here.

He squatted nonchalantly against the wall at the edge of the rooftop. The only sound around him was the chirping of birds in the distance.

At this moment, a very subtle "bang" sound suddenly came from the distance.

"?!"
