[Fifth Personality] Escape from the manor

angry voice:

"Where did you hide? Hahahaha, run now! I saw you!"

Upon hearing this voice, Qiao Yan, who was originally standing, almost subconsciously knelt down with her head in her arms.

Going out now is pure courting death.

That clown is still cheating on her, so she must not go out now.

Qiao Yan raised her head and turned her gaze to the boy in front of her, pleading in her eyes:

"Can I... hide here for a while?"

The young man in front of her turned the gorgeous western knife horizontally, and put the blade on the palm of her right hand.He looked past Qiao Yan and looked at the closed door behind her.

"Last time it was Jack, this time it's Jack, who will it be next time?"

He looked at Qiao Yan with his glazed blue eyes, a smile appeared on his beautiful and delicate face, and he suddenly looked like a young man:

"If I didn't know that you were lost, I would almost think that you did it on purpose. You can find my room with great precision every time."

It sounds like they knew each other before they got lost.Qiao Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.Although she was a little embarrassed by what the boy said, she still pulled off the relationship more cheekily:

"Probably fate."

"It is indeed fate."

Probably because he felt that the collar of this delicate dress was a bit tight, the young man raised his hand and slightly tugged at his golden scarf, then showed Qiao Yan a smile of unknown meaning:

"You must leave before dawn."

Because then it's time for him to move on to the next game.He doesn't want anyone in his room while he's playing.Especially this curious lady.

Seeing that the boy agreed to her hiding, Qiao Yan's affection for him immediately rose.In addition, she also felt that she always had an inexplicable sense of familiarity and palpitations when looking at that boy.

Coupled with the boy's slightly familiar attitude towards her, Qiao Yan had an unreliable guess in her heart:

Could it be that she had a crush on this boy before Lost?

This boy's appearance is too outstanding, he is like a bright light in this strange manor.Qiao Yan felt that based on his appearance alone, he might indeed be the one she liked.

Although in this kind of place, the more normal it looks, the more abnormal it is.But Qiao Yan, who had just been chased by terror, subconsciously ignored that suspicion, with a bit of an ostrich feeling of rejoicing, maybe if she didn't express her doubts, she would be safely concealed until the end.

……

After the boy agreed to Qiao Yan's hiding, he turned around and walked towards the innermost room with the Western knife in his hand.

Qiao Yan stood up and followed him, not forgetting to chat with him:

"Sir, did we know each other before? Do you know that I was lost? Are you also an invited guest here?"

She asked three questions in a row.

The young man was not too annoying, and instead answered her questions one by one:

"We did."

He did meet Qiao Yan in the game half a month ago——that was the first time they met.As a new survivor in the game, Qiao Yan still doesn't understand the ability of the "photographer" as a supervisor.Therefore, it is very easy to catch her.

Thinking of arresting her so easily, a smile appeared on the young man's face, with a little youthful complacency.

"Of course I know you've been lost."

Because he was the one who sent her to the carnival chair.But this time he was lost, he didn't know which colleague did it.

"We are all guests invited by this manor."

Leo, Jack, Ben, Jack...they are all invited dead.

……

After hearing him reply that he was also a guest, Qiao Yan felt a little more relieved.Survivors are all invited guests, but I don't know why the room arranged by the manor for the boy is in the mirror.From the experience just now, Qiao Yan can easily guess that the world inside the mirror belongs to the regulator.

"My name is Joseph and I'm a photographer."

The boy stopped in front of a very retro tripod camera inside.

He put aside the gorgeous western knife in his hand and started to fiddle with the camera.

……

photographer?

Qiao Yan saw this occupation in her notebook, it was on the regulator's side.

The expression on her face remained the same, but her mood became slightly tense.She silently looked at the boy who was fiddling with the camera again.

He is indeed the appearance of a normal human being, without any abnormalities.And the supervisors recorded in her notebook are more or less inhuman.The character he displayed seemed to be quite friendly, not as crazy as the red-haired man he met in the corridor just now.

He was so much like a normal person, which made Qiao Yan not sure about her guess.

Qiao Yan looked away from Joseph, and she began to look at the portraits in the room.

Qiao Yan carefully looked at the facial features of the person in the portrait, and found that they were all the same person—the boy named Joseph in front of her.

The portraits are drawn from his current appearance, each one getting older, from juvenile painting to middle age, and finally to old age.

Qiao Yan's gaze scanned the portraits on the wall, and she felt as if she saw a person slowly aging in time.

At some point, the boy who finished fiddling with the tripod camera turned his blue eyes to Qiao Yan.He was smiling and friendly:

"Miss Yan, would you like to take a picture?"

One of his hands was placed on the camera, and his fingers lightly touched the casing of the camera.The other hand curled the hair next to his ear boredly, as if waiting for Qiao Yan's answer.

Qiao Yan's gaze subconsciously shifted to his hand that lightly tapped the camera casing. Just like his people, his hand is also very beautiful.However, Qiao Yan is concerned about another aspect:

The nails on his hands seemed too sharp and too long.

That length is enough to cause trouble in everyday life.

"Thank you, no need, I can't keep the photos well."

Qiao Yan forced herself to be calm, then lowered her head slightly, pretending to be shy.

The boy looked at her and smiled, and put his hand on the camera down again.After Qiao Yan refused, he didn't invite again, but just took out a photo album and sat aside to watch.At the same time, he put the gorgeous French army knife that had been set aside earlier on his lap and wiped it.

Qiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, she picked a place some distance away from the boy and sat up straight.Occasionally, he looked up to see the boy's actions.

The boy sat there without moving, but Qiao Yan, who felt bored for a while, became a little sleepy.And the boy in her eyes didn't seem to be sleepy, as if he could sit like that until dawn.

The bell in the manor swung three times, and the echoing bell in the silent night awakened Qiao Yan, who had been restlessly asleep. After she woke up, she subconsciously went to find the figure of the young man who claimed to be a photographer. Yes, the boy was not in his original position.

where is it?

Qiao Yan suddenly felt a subtle chill behind her, she immediately turned her head to look:

The aristocratic young man who seemed to have stepped out of the old era was playing with the camera not far behind her.Seeing her wake up, the boy still smiled at her and greeted her politely:

"Did you sleep well? Miss Yan."

Qiao Yan replied subconsciously:

"It's okay, just a little stiff."

Then she noticed the time: it was three o'clock in the morning, and the hallway had already quieted down.

At this moment, Qiao Yan couldn't wait to come here immediately.She pretended to be calm, then thanked Joseph and expressed her intention to leave.

Joseph nodded without stopping, he was still fiddling with the camera in his hand.

After Qiao Yan left, a black and white photo appeared in his hand.

In the photo is an oriental girl who is tired and asleep on a chair.

"first slide."

The black and white photo twirled at his fingertips, and then he put the photo into his photo album.

There are many photos of people in that thick photo album, but those photos are all a bit strange:

The scenery in the photo is black and white, but the characters are in color.

……

*

Qiao Yan went through the mirror and returned to the Survivor's side of Oletis Manor.After returning to her room, she collapsed on the bed with some exhaustion.She lifted the mattress and found the black notebook, then turned to the dirty page, took out a pen and began to write down some new contents, which were all her own guesses:

[After midnight, you will arrive at the regulator's manor area through the mirror.Danger……】

After writing down these messages, Qiao Yan couldn't figure out why she left the message about the mirror in such a contradictory way when she was lost.

That would obviously induce amnesia to put himself in danger.

Unless, there is something worth her risk.And the value of this thing, before she is still weighing.

04

Qiao Yan didn't think about it for a while.Because she was too sleepy, it was past three o'clock in the morning.A game will consume them approximately a day, and there will be a one-day rest period after the game is over.

She must take a good rest so that she can face the upcoming game.

……

Black and white patterns appeared in my mind, and then shattered like glass.

At the beginning of the second game, Qiao Yan opened her eyes and saw some damaged walls, and after walking two steps, she saw some discarded medical equipment.The name of this place has automatically appeared in her mind: Sacred Heart Hospital.

Qiao Yan is located on the second floor. Standing on a high place and looking down through the hole in the wall has a certain perspective advantage, but the perspective behind is a disadvantage.

Next to Qiao Yan there is
