Horror Game: Cthulhu Fairy Tales

Chapter 140 End Game (4)

Qian Nan narrowly avoided Xie Yueye's attacks time and time again. He could even see a smile on the man's lips, but that smile was tinged with mockery and indifference.

"Thank you, brother! Thank you, brother!"

It’s not that he couldn’t beat Xie Yueye, but that he simply didn’t dare to be ruthless.

Finally, after the dagger scratched his cheek, the boy tripped over his left foot and fell to the ground.

"Hiss—it hurts, it hurts... Oh? Thank you, brother! No!"

Then the young man was pinned to the ground and beaten severely by the handsome man, leaving his face bruised and swollen.

"Thank you, brother! No!"

Even though Qian Nan kept begging for mercy, he was still severely beaten by the other party. Xie Yueye only stopped when he felt relieved.

The man stood up and looked at the boy pretending to be dead on the ground. He chuckled and said, "Still pretending?"

He already knew the boy's identity and was well aware that his punches would not hurt him at all.

"Hehehe, you are worthy of being Brother Xie."

Qian Nan cursed in his heart but looked at Xie Yueye with a playful smile on his face. He now wished he could kill that old man Lin Yue right away. Without him, there wouldn't be so many troubles.

Xie Yueye also looked at the boy with a smile. Seeing Qian Nan jumping around, his mood became very good. After all, the other party was still alive, right?

"Thank you, brother..."

Qian Nan was about to speak when he was interrupted by Xie Yueye. The man pointed to the stairs behind him and motioned for him to try.

The boy walked up the stairs in confusion, and the same thing happened to him.

Qian Nan felt unbelievable. He went up and down several times, but got the same result.

He walked down the stairs, looked at the smiling Xie Yueye, then looked at the stairs, his face full of confusion.

"Xie brother, what's going on?"

Seeing the other party's confused expression, Xie Yueye laughed happily: "Hahaha."

Hearing Xie Yueye's laughter, Qian Nan's expression became even more confused. He had no idea what was going on.

"I was wondering if there would be a different result if you went up there."

Unexpectedly, even though the other party went up as a non-human, the situation remained the same, without any changes, and he still stayed on the second floor.

“I don’t feel anything here…”

Since the boy turned into a non-human state, his senses have become much sharper, so he can naturally recognize mysterious or other creatures at a glance, but he didn't feel any signs of any living creatures on this staircase.

"Then you're stuck here with me."

The man's magnetic voice was somewhat joyful, and he was somewhat happy that there was another unlucky guy to keep him company.

"..."

The young man was silent for a moment. He felt that something was wrong with Brother Xie. Brother Xie was still the same Brother Xie, but his attitude was weird and cruel. At least he knew that the current Xie Yueye would never be so kind to him.

Xie Yueye had no idea that the other party was suspicious of him, but he grabbed the small black ball from the side and handed it to Qian Nan.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Qian Nan took the small black ball from Xie Yueye, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"What is this? I've never seen it before."

The boy turned the small black ball out of curiosity and observed it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Brother Xie, what I can tell you is that this thing is neither my kind nor a cunning one."

The little black ball did not have the smell that the boy was familiar with, nor did it have the mysterious smell that he hated.

Xie Yueye took back the little black ball and gently poked the round little body.

"Hmm... then what is this thing?"

The little black ball made a pleasant "chirp" sound, and it showed that it was very happy about Xie Yueye's caress.

Qian Nan stared at this black ball that could act like a spoiled child, and always felt a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't tell what was going on.

"There's nothing on this level except this creature and a glass bottle."

Xie Yueye handed the glass bottle in his bag to the boy, saying that he had not found any clues.

The boy looked the glass bottle up and down, then pulled out the cork and smelled it, but there was no smell at all.

"Thank you, brother. How about I go for a walk?"

When I was a teenager and had nothing to do, I liked to play games. Sometimes when I was in the mood, I would find some friends to go to an escape room together.

"Well, I'll wait for you here."

Thinking that if he followed him, it might disrupt the boy's plan, Xie Yueye chose to stay at the stairs.

Qian Nan directly opened the first door next to him and walked in. He did not need to adapt to see in the dark.

As soon as he opened the door, the boy frowned. His senses were very sharp and he could smell the strange smells in the room.

The boy walked straight to the curtains and tried to open them to see what was happening outside.

Qian Nan pulled hard, but the curtains didn't respond at all. He could even feel the heavy weight. He wanted to lift the curtains to look outside, but he couldn't.

It was obvious that the person who trapped the people had no intention of letting the people inside see the situation outside.

The boy searched the cabinets and laboratory tables but couldn't find anything.

The experimental instruments were placed there randomly without any pattern.

It thought about it, reached out and touched the wall, then knocked lightly, and heard the sound of hitting the wall without any barrier.

In the back room, the boy did the same thing, and then just as Xie Yueye said, there was nothing in those rooms.

After searching from beginning to end, Qian Nan returned to the stairs and saw a handsome man with long hair leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.

Next to the man, a "leopard cat" was turning the body of the little black ball with its claws.

"Chi! Chi!"

Because he felt that the cat had no ill will towards him, the little black ball made a satisfied cry for this entertainment activity.

Hearing the sound of gentle footsteps approaching, Xie Yueye spoke without opening his eyes.

"Nothing?"

"Um……"

The young man nodded somewhat unhappily, thinking to himself that the old man wouldn't be so cruel as to keep the person locked up here forever?

"Then take a rest."

Xie Yueye said this softly, then closed his mouth and said no more.

Qian Nan stood beside the man, observing him in the dim light.

In his eyes, Xie Yueye looked more energetic than the last time he saw her, with a straight nose, a full forehead, and fair skin that could be seen clearly even in the dark.

Every time, Qian Nan would curse his boss in his heart, wondering how he could be so lucky to be able to trick a godsend like Brother Xie into giving him away.

The boy also imitated the man and leaned against the opposite wall with his eyes closed.

The entire floor suddenly became quiet, with only the friction sound of the cat spinning its little black ball on the ground.
