I have a cub that escapes the boss

The suicide note came from a young man named Scott.

Judging from the handwriting and content on the linen cloth, Ji Hanchuan judged: the words and sentences are very simple, and there are some mistakes in spelling... This should indeed be an ordinary man who has not received much education and only has the most basic reading and writing skills.

He wrote his name and origin, saying that his fiancée never returned to the village after becoming a maid in Moulton Manor, so he came to look for it.Later, he discovered that his fiancée was "possessed by a demon", and wanted to escape in a hurry, but was caught and became one of the "prey".

He writes: Godblessme...

These contents alone have already filled the entire sackcloth.But in the end, Scott squeezed out of a corner and wrote that he was imprisoned in the dungeon of the old castle, where he saw a monster.

The whole piece of linen was tattered, and what Scott wrote was not neat.Ji Hanchuan spread the sackcloth, looked around, and felt that "being possessed by a demon" and "becoming a 'prey'", plus the "old castle dungeon", are likely to be sacrificed in the rain in the next few days.

But today, he watched everything before it rained, and came to several conclusions:

Scott would pray for God's blessing—this made it even more strange that the husband and young master in the manor did not pray before meals, and the housekeeper was indifferent to the "priest".

Combined with the following "being possessed by a demon", the original strangeness has become a matter of course.

Adding "dungeon" and "monster", Ji Hanchuan sketched out a prototype of the story in his mind, and then he sighed regretfully.

Even if he knew how many crimes there were in the manor, it would not help him "survive seven days".

This may be a worldview in which "demons" exist.How to deal with it?Pretending to be dreaming and pretending to be night blind will work in the first few days, but after that, it will probably be useless.If he wants to survive smoothly, what he needs is a cross and holy water.A Bible is much more useful here than skill and marksmanship.

Ji Hanchuan rubbed his chin, pondering: Having said that, in theory, there must be a "way of survival" in every game.That said, I should be able to find something to exorcise.In addition, would it be useful to carve a cross yourself?

probably not...

After Ji Hanchuan thought about it, he thought about the whereabouts of the linen in his hand.I originally wanted to burn it, but then I remembered the "fiancée" Scott mentioned.He didn't say the name of his fiancée, but Ji Hanchuan had a hunch that this person might still be wandering in the manor, it might be one of the eight maids, or it might be some undead that could be awakened and become a helper.So in the end, Ji Hanchuan cut open his own sheepskin book with a knife, folded the linen, put it in the cover, and sewed it up again.

After that, while eating the rest of the hare meat, he returned to the old castle, preparing to teach Owen a lesson.

When going up the mountain, the weather was obviously hot and muggy.Clouds thickened, but overall fine.Combined with Ningning's expression, Ji Hanchuan thinks that at least it won't rain tomorrow.He decided to turn around tomorrow to find more "relics".

These prey were full of despair when they were alive, and they should also resent the owner of the manor after death. Maybe they can help him resist for a while in the last few days.

It's a pity that I stayed outside for too long today. On the one hand, I was familiar with the venue and on the other hand I had to explore the usage of firearms, but I didn't find more.

It happened to be noon when we returned to the castle.The housekeeper warmly welcomed Ji Hanchuan back, and praised the prey he brought back.Ji Hanchuan accepted it calmly, looked at Owen on the table, and unexpectedly thought of the "dungeon" Scott mentioned.He reflected for a while, and when he cut the bacon, he felt that he had taken it for granted, maybe Owen had something to do with the "monster".

"Teacher?" Owen called him and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Ji Hanchuan regained his composure and smiled, "I'm looking at this ancient castle. Mr. Cook told me yesterday that the ancient castle has been around for some years and has experienced many wars."

"Yes." Owen showed a mixture of pride and pride on his face.Ji Hanchuan saw it and found it interesting, and with one more word, the young master began to tell the family history.

It seems that this is also a required course for him.

Ji Hanchuan listened. After eating the meat and drinking the soup, he finally took out the sheepskin notebook.The most dangerous place is the safest place.He handed the notebook to Owen, not caring what he had put in the cover.Because his expression and movements were so natural, Owen obviously didn't think of other directions.There was a trace of doubt on his face, he opened the book, and saw the forest drawn on the first and second pages, plus the plan and three-dimensional map of the castle.

"This is?"

Owen asked.

Ji Hanchuan smiled and said, "I drew these when Mr. Cook took me on a tour yesterday." Then, he nodded to the butler, who also smiled at him, "After coming to Europa, this is the first time I have seen such a painting. The building. Even though I have seen it a lot, I am still amazed.”

Owen looked at him fixedly, his eyes didn't look like a child's.But in a blink of an eye, the little fat man asked, "Are the buildings in the east different from here?"

"It's different." Ji Hanchuan told him, "In my hometown, most palaces are made of wood, with only one floor. There are no such three-story rooms. There are 'towers' and 'lounges', but After all, it's not a place where people live... In winter, it will be very cold, so there are various ways of heating, such as rubbing pepper and mud on the wall. Only a queen can live in a place like this."

The little fat man showed a curious and fascinated expression on his face.

Ji Hanchuan was half-truth, half-false, and continued to talk all the way down.During the period, the butler probably looked at the plates of the young master and the tutor, and felt that the lunch could be over, so he winked at the maids a few times and asked them to pack up.Ji Hanchuan took some thought and noticed: this time, it was Doris and Jyoti who came - the two of them seem to have a good relationship, and Ji Hanchuan has seen them go out as a couple several times.

Still no Anna.

However, because the personnel have been changing, it can't explain anything.

Ji Hanchuan thought slowly: After last night, if he sees Anna again, and even finds that she is no different from other maids, it means that all the maids are probably dead.As for Owen and the housekeeper who were served by them, most of them were half dead.

But the other people in the manor deserve a second look.

But if Anna "disappears" directly, it will be a little troublesome, there are many possibilities.

Ji Hanchuan: "...where important people live, there is often a secret room prepared for interrogating prisoners."

He finally got to the point.

The little fat man listened, his eyes widened, as if surprised.

At this point, Ji Hanchuan was completely nonsense, and he simply talked about the TV series he watched when he was a child: "The empress found out that the emperor liked a court lady, so she captured that court lady, put her in a secret room in her palace, and let the nuns around her torture her." she."

Fatty: "Wow!"

Ji Hanchuan stopped, smiled, and said, "I was wondering yesterday if there would be something similar here. But...it seems impolite to ask directly."

The little fat man opened his mouth and was about to speak.

Mr. Cook next to him coughed, which seemed to be a reminder.

After hearing this, the little fat man rubbed his nose, sat down in his seat, and said solemnly, "I don't know, after all, this is my father's castle."

Ji Hanchuan showed an understanding expression, and politely diverted the topic away.But when he entered the study, the little fat man couldn't wait, and told Ji Hanchuan: "There is such a place!"

Ji Hanchuan thought to himself: Huh?It's easy.

It's so easy that it seems cheating.

It was obvious that he started the topic, but at this moment, Ji Hanchuan seemed to be out of interest, and replied perfunctorily: "What's the place?"

The little fat man didn't seem to notice Ji Hanchuan's "I'm not interested", and he was still mysterious, saying, "When I was a child, my father once took me to 'below'."

Ji Hanchuan finally looked him in the eye.

The little fat man showed a smug expression, as if saying: Look, you really want to know!If you want to know more, please ask me!

Ji Hanchuan asked suspiciously: "Aren't you young now?"

fatty:"……"

Owen became angry and said, "You, you are the child!"

Ji Hanchuan listened, smiled, with "tolerance" written all over his face, and said, "Okay, come to class."

Owen: "..." He became even more angry, his cheeks puffed up, he turned his head, not looking at Ji Hanchuan.

Ning Ning was amazed at the side, and said, "Tao An'an is also like this when she is angry. It's amazing."

Ji Hanchuan thought to himself: Is it amazing?It's okay too.Owen and Tao An'an are both "system-set" characters. Perhaps when creating them—"them"—the "game" used the same set of character templates.

He played hard to get like this, the little fat man just took the bait.After sulking for a while, the little fat man regained his strength and beat around the bush, in another way, as if pouring out his troubles to Ji Hanchuan.

"Actually, I had nightmares for a long time because of what I saw at that time," he said.

Ji Hanchuan finally got serious, like every teacher who cares about his students.He praised himself in his heart, and decided to deal with it this way, which would definitely increase his kpi as a "tutor" by a few percentage points again.

He asked gently: "Owen, although this is only the second day we met, I have only just arrived at the manor. But—yes, you are my student, so if you have any troubles, you can tell me. "

He paused and said with a smile: "You are the first person I am responsible for here. Well, I like it here and want to work here longer. So, your impression of me, whether I can stay, Played a pivotal role. If you wanted me to hide the ensuing conversation from Mr. Moulton, I think I could do that too."

Owen was obviously very moved by Ji Hanchuan's words, sniffled his nose, and asked seriously: "Really?"

Ji Hanchuan declared: "But if I feel that it would be better for you to tell other people these things, I may 'breach the contract'."

This promise is like saying nothing.

However, Owen sighed and continued to talk to Ji Hanchuan.

Ji Hanchuan listened and thought: Oh, this should be a "necessary clue".

No matter how he answered, Owen would probably tell him.But whether you agree or not, may have an impact on subsequent development.
