[Fifth Personality] Escape from the manor

All vanished.

The quill was running quickly on the notebook, and Qiao Yan recorded the sentence dug out from the seemingly lost memory:

["Game" time, everything becomes "game", death becomes no longer scary...]

Fearing that she would not be able to understand after being lost, she also added her specific feelings after the words.

The information about the director of the supervisor on the notebook was also updated again.At the same time, she added another name under the supervisor's factory director's information:

[Emma Woods, gardener? 】

She circled the word gardener and put a question mark on it.Then mark the word [cautious] in small print.

[Freddie Riley, lawyer, hypocritical, not to be friends with. 】

【Kreacher, he doesn't look like a righteous person, but unexpectedly he is a good person.Seems to take Emma Woods very seriously. 】

……

After recording the information of her teammates by the way, Qiao Yan got out of bed and walked to the window.

Oletis Manor is huge, and from the window of her room, she can only see the garden of the manor, but not the outside.On the high fence is a sky that is burnt brilliantly by the rays of the sun.

Qiao Yan looked at the film and suddenly thought of a question:

Where is the exit of Oletis Manor?

She never seemed to have seen a door leading to the outside world in the manor.

Is the normal real world beyond the high walls of the Orytis Manor?

The answer is unknown.

……

It was already evening, Qiao Yan put away her notebook, then opened the door and walked towards the restaurant.

Before, Emma told her that the manor would provide meals for their guests every day, and if they missed the meal, it would be difficult to eat again.

This time Qiao Yan went a little earlier, and there were many people sitting on the long table in the restaurant, but if you looked carefully, you could find some vacant seats.

After Qiao Yan found her seat, she began to eat in silence. She used the meal time to carefully look at the other people who also had the same meal—these people may become her teammates in future games.

People at the dining table seldom communicate with each other, basically eating their own meals, or thinking about something with their eyes down.

When Qiao Yan glanced over a mustache man wearing a leather hat and some gorgeous clothes, the man looked at her with bright eyes, and then showed a friendly smile.

Qiao Yan immediately looked away and pretended to concentrate on eating.

After the meal, everyone at the table left.When Qiao Yan was about to turn around and leave, someone stopped her.

Qiao Yan looked back and found that the man was the man with the mustache who was smiling at her at the dinner table just now.

When seeing him, it is easy to be attracted by his brightly colored blouse, which has white feathered cuffs, which has a little Indian style.

"Miss Yan, do you remember me?"

The man questioned her with an apologetic look on his face.

Qiao Yan quickly realized that this was probably someone she knew before she got lost.She shook her head at the man, and then recounted her current state.

The man introduced himself to Qiao Yan very simply:

"Kevin Ayuso, from America, a cowboy."

Qiao Yan also introduced herself politely:

"Qiao Yan, she's a student."

Immediately afterwards, she looked at the restaurant that was becoming less and less crowded, and then suggested:

"I think we should talk somewhere else."

The cowboy named Kevin stopped her because he obviously wanted to say something to her.

The cowboy with the big leather hat nodded, and led Qiao Yan to the garden.

The garden looked a bit dim in the twilight, and at the beginning of the night, the moon was not yet higher than the high walls of the Orytis Manor.

When Qiao Yan walked past the fountain in the garden, she felt the coolness of those tiny water splashes on her skin.

When walking to an open space in the garden, the cowboy Kevin suddenly took off the big leather hat on his head, and said to Qiao Yan with deep regret:

"I'm sorry, if it wasn't for saving me, Miss Yan wouldn't have lost that game."

Such a message broke out at the beginning of the game, and Qiao Yan was a little dazed.Because she felt that she would not be a dedicated saint who sacrificed her life to save others.

She looked up and down the appearance of the cowboy Kevin. Although he has a little mustache, he looks pretty good and has an unruly temperament.

But... Qiao Yan felt that this was not the type she would like.

If he didn't lie, why did I risk my life to protect him last time?It is impossible not to understand the importance of getting lost.

"...You were lost because of protecting me before, right?"

After thinking about it, Qiao Yan came up with this guess.

Kevin's eyes moved slightly, and then he admitted:

"My former teammates told me that it was indeed the case. But I believe that I did it voluntarily before, and I didn't want to seek Miss Yan's return."

Immediately afterwards, he made another promise to Qiao Yan:

"Next time, next time we become teammates in the game, I will definitely try my best to protect Miss Yan."

Come on, the debt of favor is very difficult to repay, and I only have two chances to lose.

Although Qiao Yan really wanted to tell him this, she was subtly silent.

Who knows what his next game will be like?What if she could be saved without paying the price of getting lost?This way she would not have to waste a lost chance.

Qiao Yan subtly remained silent with this fluke mentality.

Qiao Yan thinks that Kevin Ayuso is a strange person, self-sacrifice is a praiseworthy quality in the normal and real world.In this manor game, maybe too.But this is just self-interested praise, and in fact everyone may be thinking that this behavior is stupid.

People of this quality don't last long in this kind of game, but one thing is undeniable:

He'll be a competitive teammate.

……

The conversation ended, and the twilight deepened a bit.Kevin insisted on sending Qiao Yan back, saying that he couldn't bear to let a lady go back so alone.

When Qiao Yan walked up the stairs, the cowboy with a feather on his big leather hat was leaning against the wall and looking at her.

He said he was taking her back to the room, but in fact he just sent her to the stairs.

Qiao Yan stood in the middle of the stairs, looked back at Kevin, and asked for his room number.What she thought was that she might be able to talk to this teammate during non-meal time and summarize more game information.

However, Kevin looked at her in surprise and shook his head:

"It's useless for Miss Yan to know my house number. It's impossible for us to meet again after walking up the stairs."

What do you mean?

Qiao Yan felt that there was something in his words that was difficult to understand.

Kevin went on to explain to her:

"Miss Yan, take a closer look at the house numbers of the rooms next to yours, and you will find it."

Qiao Yan stood in the middle of the stairs and did not continue to walk up. She suddenly remembered something:

Even when she went out for meals, she never met half of the survivors in the corridor.

"We couldn't see the house numbers of the rooms other than our own. We couldn't meet other people except the restaurant."

Kevin sighed:

"Even the opening hours of the restaurant are limited. The owner of the manor is restricting our private communication."

Restricting Survivors' private communication will increase the difficulty of the game.

But Qiao Yan responded immediately:

"The restaurant can meet other people, which means we can make an appointment to meet at the restaurant?"

However, Kevin who was standing at the top of the stairs shook his head at her:

"Restaurants have opening hours. Outside of opening hours, we can't see each other."

After saying this, Kevin straightened his hat and walked up the stairs:

"Miss Yan, you can see for yourself..."

The moment he stepped up the stairs, his figure disappeared from Qiao Yan's eyes.Even the sound could not be heard, as if they were separated in two different time and space.

Qiao Yan turned around and walked towards her room. She carefully observed the other rooms along the way.

Sure enough, as Kevin said, the house number of each door was empty, or it was not empty, but Qiao Yan couldn't see the number on the house number.

After returning to the room, Qiao Yan immediately opened her notebook and recorded the information.

And she added a line of remarks after the name of Emma Woods:

[Unidentified, it is recommended to stay away. 】

In her only memory, she clearly remembered the scene where the straw hat girl was holding her hand and running down the corridor.

If survivors should not be able to see each other in the corridor, why is Emma Woods not restricted by this rule?

Or, Emma Woods is not a survivor?

It was getting late, but Qiao Yan had no plans to go to bed early.

She walked to the window of the room and gazed at the sky beyond the high walls of the Orytis Manor.

In the dark night sky, the bright moon had already risen, and it crossed the high wall to pour its brilliance into the manor.

Qiao Yan put on her coat and went out of the room again.This time she didn't tiptoe down the corridor as she did the previous time.Because the facts have told her:

Except for meal time, she couldn't meet other survivors at all.

She went down the stairs and across the hall, and opened the door to the garden.

Facing her outside the door was a fountain, and the icy moonlight poured on the water, making it even more cool.

Qiao Yan walked around the high wall in the garden, but she didn't find anything like a door.

And there is no door leading to the outside in Oletis Manor.

What is beyond such a high wall?

Qiao Yan stood under the high wall, looked up at the unreachable wall, and imagined the scene outside the wall.

Suddenly, some small voices came from her ears. She listened carefully, as if
