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

He had no idea what rooms the entire fourth floor was made of, and last time he arrived he went straight to the Pope's room, only to find Lin inside.

And when I went upstairs, the door to the fourth floor was actually open.

Wei Lan thought for a second and pretended to say casually,

"What about the top floor? I heard before that no one can enter without permission. Could she have hidden in there secretly?"

"Ah?" Gemma exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Impossible! Everyone in the capital knows that this place is not to be set foot on!"

He had just finished exaggerating and speaking loudly when he suddenly remembered something and muttered, "The door lock seemed to be... Could it be..."

He paused after he finished speaking.

Oops, Wei Lan felt a little guilty for some reason since it was clearly not him who pried open the lock.

Could it be that the lock was opened by the heroine? But why did he think of going to the top floor? Could it be that he saw Lin being captured by them, so he followed them?

Then why not save Lin?

At that time, Gemma had already reported the matter to Phoenix. Wei Lan was waiting outside. Gemma came back soon and told him that she didn't find anyone.

But there was one room that showed signs of action.

Are there traces of someone moving? Maybe it's the heroine.

To connect the dots, the heroine came to the church the day before. If she came here because she found out that Ling followed her here, she would then pry open the lock and go up to the 4th floor. But for some reason she didn't save Lin.

Maybe there were people there at the beginning, so he never found a chance to save them?

That incident happened right after I showed up, and he took the opportunity to escape when the church members left.

So where would she go in just one morning? Wei Lan tried hard to recall the places the heroine often went to in the original book.

It's nothing more than the home and the church, and then the secret dating place of the hero and heroine. But the plot hasn't progressed to that point yet, so it's impossible.

Could it be that she has gone home again?

Oh, Wei Lan seemed to have thought of something, and hurried to the carriage, asking the coachman to drive back to Hathaway's house quickly.

The first time he went to the heroine's house, he found his brother dead at home. Did the heroine go back the day before to look for his brother? But she found that his brother was not there?

This doesn't make sense! If he loved his brother so much in the original book, why would he go back to the church when his brother disappeared?

Unless the previous idea is overturned, the heroine had already left the church the day before yesterday. If this is the case, then the assumption that the heroine found Lin being captured in the church and followed him is not valid.

Acao, this is so annoying!

Wei Lan was having a headache thinking about why the heroine was so troublesome.

When the carriage was halfway through its journey, many people dressed as soldiers passed by, leading them was Fedu Vichy.

Wei Lan frowned and thought for a second, then said to Lin,

"You go follow them. I'll go to Hathaway's house again."

Lin peeked outside, nodded, and got off the carriage.

When he arrived at the heroine's house, Wei Lan found the woman again and asked her where she had buried the heroine's brothers.

"Oh! I was just startled. Hathaway just came back! She also asked me where her brother is!"

"What!" Wei Lan was horrified and asked her hurriedly,

"Where on earth is it?!"

"I advise you not to go. They must have done something bad! Someone asked me the same question just now. They all had black cloth covering their faces. They didn't look like good people!"

Wei Lan became even more anxious when he heard this, and grabbed her and said in panic,

"Tell me where it is!"

The woman was startled by his voice:

"Yes, yes. Under the first tree in the suburban field. Where is Hathaway?"

After hearing this, Wei Lan hurried in the direction she pointed.

The woman was still complaining in the back:

"You don't look like a lady at all! Why do you sound like a stinky man when you speak louder?"

Wei Lan didn't have time to care. He wanted to ask the guards who came with him to go with him, but when he looked outside, he saw that the space here was extremely small and was filled with all kinds of cheap houses.

So the four-wheeled carriage could not come in, and for the sake of disguise he did not let the four guards follow in.

After thinking about it for a while, he still felt that something was wrong, so he hurried back and asked the woman to find the guard and promised to give her some money later.

Then running behind these low-rise buildings, there is a large green plain, lush and green. On the path people have walked on, a shepherd is driving his flock of sheep back from a distance.

On the side of the dirt road is a huge tree, and below it is a small hillside. No grass has grown on the dirt yet, so it looks like it was buried there.

But there was no one around. Wei Lan looked forward and saw low plains all around with one or two small thatched houses.

He immediately saw three figures in the distance, one of whom was wearing a skirt.

When Wei Lan took a closer look, he was shocked.

There are two people chasing the heroine.

Wei Lan didn't think twice and found a thick branch nearby. It would definitely not work for him to go like this, but he also had to go to the heroine's side.

Wei Lan ran while typing the system in his mind.

"What would happen if the heroine died?"

[System: The system is in the process of repairing its function. If the heroine dies, the world will be destroyed, and the host will certainly not be able to return.]

"I knew it!!"

"What if I die?"

[System: If the host experiences an unspecified death, the host will die forever. So the host should not die on purpose.]

"Shit! Doesn't that mean I'll die whether I help or not?!"

He didn't know when the guards would arrive, so he could only delay as much as possible. He should have told Lin not to look after that little waste.

Wei Lan was running breathlessly and was already very close to them. The heroine in front of him had just fallen down while running, and two people dressed as mercenaries were approaching her.

"Wait... Huh—"

Wei Lan hurriedly called a halt, gasping for breath while holding the long wooden stick in his hand.

I thought to myself that she was worthy of being the heroine. If she had become a cannon fodder, she would have been killed by these two mercenaries long ago.

They were two men with black triangular bandanas covering their faces. They were tall and sturdy, with black hooded short cloaks covering their waists, on which were hung short daggers, sabers, and other weapons for various occasions with leather belts.

They also charge money for their services. Wei Lan shouted without thinking:

"How much did you charge? I can give you double!"

"Your Highness...Princess! Why are you here?!"

Hathaway's flustered face turned red as if she had met her benefactor.

There is a kind of broken beauty. Although in danger, Wei Lan still gave such an evaluation.

The two mercenaries turned their heads and looked at him. Hathaway took this opportunity to quickly bypass them and hide behind Wei Lan.

Hey! Wei Lan glanced back quietly. Are you hiding behind me to kill me? Can we run separately and hold each other back?

"Run first, the guards are coming." Wei Lan whispered to her, thinking that he would first gain the favor of the heroine, although it would eventually fall back.

Then he shouted to the mercenary:

"Don't do anything. I can give them double the amount they give me, or even more!"

Wei Lan raised his hands in surrender.

The expressions of the two mercenaries could not be seen under their hoods, and Wei Lan didn't know what they were thinking.

At this time, Hathaway stood in front of him again, with a resolute look on her fair little face, although her body was still shaking:

"No, I have to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess—"

Wei Lan rolled his eyes. He was indeed the upright and brave little white flower. But he was a man after all. How could he let a woman protect him? Even though this was a bit childish.

But at this moment, the mercenaries in front rushed towards them without thinking.

“Fuck! Don’t you even want to discuss this with me?” Wei Lan yelled, pulling the heroine back.

The mercenaries were as fast as lightning, and one of them immediately went towards Wei Lan.
