[Fifth Personality] Escape from the manor

Kevin's face became more and more blurred in the ever-changing vortex of stardust:

"Forget about here and live well."

His tone was very emotional.

"Thank you, and may you be happy."

He is a kind gentleman, and Qiao Yan sincerely blesses him.May everything be good, good people should be rewarded.

……

Through the vortex inside that door, Kevin disappeared, but Qiao Yan did not.

She looked at the familiar hall of the Orytis Manor in front of her, and an ominous premonition spread from her heart, making her tremble all over.

There must be something wrong...

She turned around and entered the door again, but in front of her was still the hall of Oletis Manor, and the white stone statue directly in front of her eyes was silently staring into the distance.

How could this be?

Inside the door is the hall of Olympia Manor, and outside the door is still the hall of Olympia Manor, like an endless Mobius ring.

This is a dream, this must be a dream!

She didn't complete the last victory, she is still in the game, as long as she completes the last victory, she can leave!

Just complete the last win to leave...

Qiao Yan ran up the stairs with chills all over her body, and came to the door of her room, but the door could no longer be opened.The door that could no longer be opened broke her illusion—she was a "leaver" judged by the manor, so this room would no longer be open to her.

Qiao Yan stood alone at the door of the room in silence for a long time, then slowly walked down the stairs.

She came to the white stone statue in the Orytis hall, and the mirror hidden behind the dark red curtain was displayed in front of her again.

She touched the mirror, and this time the mirror, which was in daylight hours, responded to her touch—water ripples appeared where her fingers touched.

Qiao Yan walked through the mirror.

In the ornately decorated Orydice Hall, a handsome young man dressed in medieval French aristocratic clothes, as if he had traveled through time, was looking at her and smiling.

The boy took her hand, hugged her into his arms, and kissed her fingertips lightly:

"You look tired, maybe you need a good rest."

He bowed his head and kissed her cheek with a soft expression:

"Honey, congratulations on your final victory."

The young man's gorgeous and noble voice was extremely comforting, but the content was so ironic.

26

The final victory?

Yes, she completed the final victory.

She did it.

Qiao Yan buried her face in Joseph's arms and let him hold her. She even reached out to wrap her arms around his waist. Her hands were exerting force, and they trembled slightly due to the force.The blue coat was also wrinkled by the force of her fingertips.

Joseph stroked her hair lightly as if he didn't feel anything, comforted her gently, and waited quietly for her recovery.

Finally, Qiao Yan seemed to be freed from the suffocating feeling, and her bewildered brain seemed to gradually calm down.

"I want to rest."

When she raised her face to look at Joseph, her expression was still a little dazed and dazed, and she didn't know where the focus of her black eyes fell.

The handsome young supervisor nodded, then took her hand and walked towards the stairs.

While being led away, Qiao Yan suddenly looked back at the mirror she passed through:

Two colorless people are reflected in the mirror: one is Joseph, and the other is her.Their looks in the mirror are so similar.Joseph in the mirror has cracks all over her body, but she in the mirror has no cracks.He is like an old black and white photo eroded by time, while she is like a brand new black and white photo.

……

It is still the room full of portraits, and the door on the far left opens into a bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Get some rest, you'll feel better when you wake up."

The delicate and beautiful young man covered Qiao Yan with a quilt, then leaned over and kissed her slightly reddened corners of the eyes, his gentle and loving appearance seemed a bit of false pity.

"Will I wake up and realize it was a dream?"

Qiao Yan stared at his blue eyes that seemed to be glowing, and asked this question with a dry throat.

Joseph smiled slightly, with a gentle expression:

"No, honey. I mean, you'll take it easy."

His words were softer than usual, but the content of his words was as cruel as ever, cruel without even giving half hope.

He reached out and stroked the broken hair on Qiao Yan's forehead, and softly persuaded:

"Sleep, I will always be by your side."

This is not really good news.

Qiao Yan was thinking like this, but she couldn't resist the heavy mental exhaustion. Her opened eyes closed slowly after a while.

……

It wasn't the morning sun that woke Qiao Yan up, or she didn't know how long she had slept.When she woke up, Joseph was no longer in the room.

Qiao Yan got up from the bed, then opened the closet in the room, wanting to change clothes, but the first thing she saw when she opened the closet was men's clothing.The baroque-style blue jacket was very familiar, and Qiao Yan easily recognized that it was the clothes Joseph often wore.There are also some women's clothes hanging beside the men's clothes, which are much simpler than the dress Joseph gave her before, but it is easy to see the traces of Rococo style.

This wardrobe belongs to two people, and there are both a camera and a dressing table in the room... It is already obvious who this room is for.

Qiao Yan picked out a dress from the closet and put it on, then opened the curtains of the French windows that had been covering them. The French windows faced the garden, and it was cloudy outside without any sunlight.Qiao Yan sat by the window, staring at the gloomy sky outside that seemed to be raining in a daze.

Joseph was right, she felt much better after waking up, and slowly began to accept the fact that she couldn't leave, and no longer deceived herself into thinking it was a dream.People are always the most adaptable.From being unacceptable at the beginning, and even feeling dizzy in her mind, to the calm mood now... Qiao Yan has already begun to recall the "games" she still remembers.

What went wrong?

Sitting by the window like this and reminiscing about the past is really like the behavior of people in their later years.Qiao Yan laughed at herself, she really didn't have any vitality at all.

Qiao Yan had some doubts about the photos Joseph had taken for him, but in the game, Joseph himself relied on taking photos to capture survivors, and she was not an exception.

But...Qiao Yan suddenly remembered: outside of the game, she was also photographed.Having been lost three times, she doesn't remember how many times she was photographed outside the game, but when she carefully recalled the last few games, she found Ni Duan.

I don't know when it started, but in the game where Joseph was the supervisor, when the mirror world unfolded, she never saw her own mirror image again.And in the game that won the victory from Joseph with Kevin Marta and others, she once passed through the light curtain projected in the air and saw her own mirror image——just like her in the mirror now , the appearance of a black and white photo without color.

In the mirror world, Joseph also has no mirror image.

Qiao Yan suddenly recalled the victory she won from the supervisor [Soul of the Umbrella]. She ran to the door, and the supervisor in black also arrived at the door. Both Marta and Tracy were affected, and she ran out the door without feeling anything.

Why is she unaffected?

At that time, she didn't think much, and she didn't want to think too much, after all, victory always attracts all eyes like that.

That's the Soul Bell.

Desperation, as the name suggests, the soul of the person who hears the ringtone will be shocked. When the soul is shaken, the behavior will naturally be out of control.

So, what kind of existence would not be affected by the soul-destroying bell?

Qiao Yan looked at the luxuriant flowers and plants under the gloomy sky through the window, and felt as if she had returned to a certain game where the supervisor was Joseph: a teammate who had never seen her before was looking at her expectantly and desperately in the chair, Joseph smiled at the side and let her save his teammate, and then accurately crossed her and cut that person to the ground again...

At that time, I felt the same as now, hopeless and powerless.

It was as if a cold chill spread from the heart, and even the blood flow slowed down... After the chill spread, it gradually disappeared and became numb.

She doesn't have deep feelings for teammates she has never met, but she is both a survivor and a human being... The fate of her teammates always reminds her of herself.

……

What kind of person would not be affected by the soul-destroying bell?

The answer is soulless people.

The soul is not on him, so naturally he will not be shaken by the sound of the soul-destroying bell.

She should have understood from the moment she couldn't find her mirror image in the mirror world:

Her soul is no longer in her body.

……

A familiar figure suddenly appeared in the garden facing under the window. The girl wearing a straw hat who was skillfully tending flowers and plants made Qiao Yan quickly recover from her thoughts.

She recognized the person who appeared in the garden --- Emma Woods.

Why did the survivors of the professional gardener appear in Odiris Manor here?

Qiao Yan felt that many questions suddenly appeared in her mind. She looked carefully at the window and confirmed that the person was really Emma Woods, then left and walked out of Joseph's room.

She ran on the wooden promenade, and the soles of her heels made a rattling sound as she ran on the wooden floor.She knows that the manor here is at risk of bumping into the supervisor, but she is eager to see that Miss Woods now. If she doesn't go to see that Miss Woods now, how will she go to that Miss Woods in a while?
