I have a cub that escapes the boss

"Ugh..."

Ji Hanchuan seemed to hear a slight sob.But behind him was still quiet and there was no movement.He didn't notice the slight wind sound as the monster moved in the air, let alone the sound of windows being opened.And Vera's voice is more like a BGM that only the player can hear after the conditions are met.

He has encountered this kind of situation before. During the game, he was directly cut into the cutscene CG.The situation at this moment is very similar, no matter how different it is, it is just——

He fell asleep.

Ji Hanchuan clearly knew that he was dreaming.He walked in the woodland, cautiously, with a flower crown in his arms that he had finally saved enough money to give to his fiancée.

He thought to himself: fiancee?

From this point of view, the "game" is very lazy. A similar script was sent to Vera-related NPC and Azabu Suicide NPC Scott.

It is different from being a "tutor" and hunting in the woods.At this moment, Ji Hanchuan only had a small knife in his hand.He was tired, hungry, and there was a fire burning in his stomach.Every step I take, I feel cramping in my stomach.Thinking of this, he touched his forehead hesitantly and realized: I have a fever.

Although conscious, at this moment the body is actually moving by itself. Ji Hanchuan is trapped in the body, but he is more like a bystander.The forward speed is very slow, and I have to stop for a while to catch my breath before taking more than ten steps.Leaning on the tree, he looked around anxiously.

His clothes were torn and his arms were scratched.The wound was not treated properly, and it had already started to become inflamed and festered, and the slightest touch would cause her whole body to twitch with pain.

He moved on.

Ji Hanchuan watched with cold eyes, slowly digging out the memories belonging to this person in his "mind".Among them, there is a difference from Scott. After his fiancée arrived at the manor, he sent him a letter, sending back the flower crown that the two had made love to, advising him not to wait for him, and another girl in the village Let's get married.

Looking at it, Ji Hanchuan thought: Does this imply that Vera's Sanity is much higher?

But anyway, the young man came.He is very stubborn and does not believe that his fiancée is really going to leave him.But this time, he fell into hell.Scott?He had seen this man in the dungeon, and he had been told over and over again that the girls they loved had passed away, and only the devil remained in their bodies.But he didn't believe Scott's words.

If it was really the devil, how could he send the flower crown back?

He wanted to find Vera and ask him clearly.

It's a pity that until now, he also knows that he probably won't have such a chance.

"Woo-woof!"

A dog barked in the woods.

It's Mr. Moulton's hound.

"Wang Wang!"

The sound was getting closer and closer, and Ji Hanchuan heard the sound of shrubs being pushed aside.The body turned its head away, looking behind hastily.Beyond the loud barking of dogs, he heard the sound of horses' hooves.The great man of the hunt has come, and his name is but a speck of dust.

"Wang Wang--!"

The Hound came out of the bushes!

The beast came straight at him, knocking the young man to the ground.A steaming, foul-smelling tongue licked his face, followed by fangs.

His eyes widened in horror.More dogs came from the side, and then, there was the sound of horseshoes.Mr. Moulton announced cheerfully: "Oh, I've caught another game, very nice."

Immediately afterwards, the picture in front of him went black.

In such darkness, he heard a thin cry.The hounds were tearing at his body, he was too weak to struggle.There was a man laughing next to him, commenting on his death with great interest, "However, this prey is too unhealthy. Look at his arms! It's so soft and thin, it's not as good as the previous one."

The pain made his body numb, and his soul began to ascend, looking at the forest in confusion.He saw the vastness of the world and the ocean in the distance.In the end, it was pulled down again by a force and fell into the soil again.

He is being buried.

Dirt fell from the sky, covering the man's face.Ji Hanchuan looked at the face of the earth-filler through the gap.The corolla was left in the woods until someone could pick it up.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and realized: Oh, it's the gardener.

When he opened his eyes again, Ji Hanchuan subconsciously felt that it should be another day.

But unexpectedly, the light was still dim.

He hesitated for a moment, and realized that his chest was empty, and Vera had disappeared.When I lifted the quilt a little bit and searched carefully, I couldn't even see the corolla.There are only two red hairs stacked in a cross shape, suggesting that everything before going to bed is not a dream.

He propped himself up and sat up, staring at the crude cross.

Is it a coincidence?

But if there is no luck for terror in the "game", how can it be meaningless for the symbol of the "just camp"?

In the end, Ji Hanchuan wrapped the two hairs left by Vera around his fingers and weaved them into a thin ring.

During this time, the outside gradually became brighter.This was the only time Ji Hanchuan woke up before "dawn".He weighed whether he should push the door open or open the window.

Time passed, and finally, it was the window that was pushed open.He stared at the land outside the window, and felt that the soil today seemed to be much finer than before, as if something had plowed the entire garden.He looked further afield, and saw the gardener, the servant, the cook, several maids, the housekeeper... they all came out of the annex one by one, and they were about to start their day's work.

They didn't pay attention to Ji Hanchuan standing by the window on the first floor of the castle.

For the first time, Ji Hanchuan had the opportunity to observe these people carefully.He quickly realized that this opportunity to "observe" should be the second reward for him to "return" the flower crown to Vera besides the dream last night.This thought made Ji Hanchuan a little bit emotional, thinking: This reward is too generous.

Too good to be disturbing.

It pointed out the direction, but it also brought another crisis.

Thinking of the conversation between Scott and "me" in the dream, Ji Hanchuan thought silently: If I "return" the sackcloth suicide note to the maid related to it, will I get such a peaceful and safe time?Or... simply double the hatred?Although the dream only showed a few short words in memory, it can already be seen that Scott is dissatisfied with his fiancée - to put it in more detail, it is the hatred for "the demon who has occupied the fiancée's body".

He was by the window, the morning sun shimmering through the clouds little by little.Tulips sway in the wind, forming a magnificent sea of ​​flowers.

The gardener stopped in front of a few tulips, squatted down, and serviced the ground with his fingers.The valet began chopping wood, while the cook, yawning, entered the castle with the others.From this angle, this group of people disappeared from Ji Hanchuan's sight.

Ji Hanchuan lowered his eyes and thought: In this way, Scott's suicide note is very likely to be a trap, about [-]% of the time.

This was the first token he found.If he had stopped looking for it, he would not have known that Scott had such a strong hatred for the "demon occupying his fiancée's body" that he would gnash his teeth just by mentioning it.In this way, according to the current thinking, it may be possible to hit the muzzle head-on.

Previously, Ji Hanchuan felt that the maid was the "evil" party, and the tokens gave him a chance to breathe.Now, his feelings are subtly different.

If we divide the maids into several categories, Anna and Vera obviously stand at the two ends of the balance, with others in the middle.Ji Hanchuan still felt that Monica might be infinitely close to Anna.As for Jody and Doris, they wandered among them.

He thought: We still need to know how Villa is doing today.

If she really "detached" because of the corolla, then Ji Hanchuan probably knew what was going on in this ancient castle.

……

……

The housekeeper still knocked on the door at the usual time.

When he knocked on the door, Ji Hanchuan was still leaning against the window, idly staring outside, pondering: If the trigger point for the changes of the maids is tokens, of course, there are beetles that entangle their bodies in the middle of the night, then these characters, male Servant, gardener, what will be touched?

He looked at the way the gardeners did things, like a kind of learning.Although before that, Ji Hanchuan knew almost nothing about flower and tree cultivation.But now, he realizes that he can call himself a "tulip-growing enthusiast".Still not professional, but able to fool a little.

And when the three beeps of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" sounded, the gardener and the servant continued their previous actions, just like those maids who performed their daily work quietly and mechanically in the old castle.They pursed their mouths tightly, showing no unnecessary expressions, as if their souls were wandering outside, leaving only their bodies.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

The butler was patient and continued to knock on the door.

But Ji Hanchuan turned his head and called out: "Here we are."

He opened the door and saw the butler at the door.Mr. Cook looked at him with a gloomy expression.Different from the breakfast invitation two days ago, this time, he showed a serious expression on his face and asked, "Mr. Han, did you hear anything last night?"

"movement?"

Ji Hanchuan asked first.

Immediately afterwards, many expressions appeared on his face.Hesitating, struggling, from the corners of the eyebrows, to the slight trembling of the cheeks, to the downward curling of the mouth.Finally, Ji Hanchuan took a deep breath and said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Cook."

Cook: "Oh?"

He further asked: "Mr. Han, do you know anything?"

A painful expression appeared on Ji Hanchuan's face, and he curled his fingers, as if trying to hold back the movement of making the sign of the cross.He hesitated, hesitated again, and finally murmured: "There is no confession room here, it's really..."

The butler narrowed his eyes and urged: "You can tell me."

Ji Hanchuan finally hesitated, telling a series of stories about himself "accidentally forgetting the parchment", "accidentally entering the wrong door", "wanting to make up for previous mistakes"...etc.The butler listened with surprise and disbelief.Finally, Ji Hanchuan said: "Actually, someone should have 'caught' me last night, I guess it was Owen."

He looked at the butler.

"After all, there is no one else in this castle except Owen."

The butler's expression suddenly became subtle.

Ji Hanchuan said slowly, "But, I still ran away."
