It's almost like I'm a fairy

Earl's afternoon tea is exquisite.

The tea set is specially customized. The aroma of black tea is very strong, and it is paired with a small plate of desserts, which is very British style.

The phonograph used to practice ballroom dancing was moved here again by the butler. With the melodious music, even the gloomy sky outside became a lazy style for a while.

Li Lian reached out several times to get some snacks, but the butler calmly stopped him.

The player's ability to accept is good, and he has been able to turn a blind eye to his strange state. What he really pays attention to is the mirror in front of the count.

Li Lian, who was only thinking about snacks and wanted to continue to reach for it after being stopped by the housekeeper, froze when he saw the mirror. On the first day he entered the dungeon, he lost a tooth because of the mirror. Becoming an unresponsive living dead, still has instinctive fear.

Before the earl opened his mouth, he glanced at the direction of Chen Dianshui, smiled slightly before speaking: "Thank you for coming."

Noticing this detail, Qi Tianhe lightly touched the teacup with his fingertips... It seems that the earl likes fresh water very much.

"Everything beautiful in this castle is deadly enough," the parrot said in his mind.

Hearing this, Qi Tianhe chuckled, that's right, Chen Dianshui said at the time that his secret was that he might have killed the Earl, and maybe it was precisely this that made the Earl fall into the quagmire of love.

The earl put his left hand on the back of his right hand, and sat gracefully: "One day after my father passed away, this mirror suddenly appeared in the castle. From that day on, people here will be punished no matter who tells a lie."

In the middle of speaking, she looked up at everyone: "When you see this mirror, what is the first thing you think of?"

Li Lian didn't listen to the Earl's words at all, he only said that he was hungry, so it was impossible for others to be as perfunctory as he was.

The Earl clearly has a crush on Chen Dianshui, but at this moment his eyes are fixed on Qi Tianhe.

Faced with a silent roll call, Qi Tianhe straightened his posture slightly, sat up straight and said seriously: "Mirror Mirror, who is the most beautiful person in this world?"

"..."

The romantic melody playing on the gramophone seemed less romantic now because of his words.

However, the bloody scene where Li Lian lost his teeth did not appear that day, which proves that what he said came from the heart.

Qi Tianhe was still in the mood to take a sip of tea, and asked innocently, "Aren't you curious?"

This sentence is like a demon, and when he mentions the rhythm, it is instantly disrupted, and his mind is full of "Who is the most beautiful person in the world." '

The earl's smile was no longer perfect, and he no longer forced the remaining players to answer his own questions. He lowered his head and stroked the hem of his skirt and finally got to the point: "In another day, I will make up my mind and choose a marriage partner."

She took a sip of tea, and when she put it down, she seemed to turn it inadvertently, and the handle of the cup was just aligned with the direction of Qi Tianhe.

Qi Tianhe took a hint, urging himself to steal the cross necklace from the old woman as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help sighing. The NPC is also very good at calculating. He can attack, retreat or defend. If he fails, the Earl will choose Chen Dianshui who is more favorable to him. Once he succeeds, he can reluctantly fall into his arms.

It turned out that I was the spare tire.

Before the end of afternoon tea, the earl asked again, which was also the last question: "Do you love me?"

Qi Tianhe: "I don't love you."

Chen Dianshui: "I don't love you."

Liu Tianming: "I don't love you."

Li Lian: "Hungry."

The earl's expression was very strange, it could not be said to be angry, and of course it was definitely not happy, it seemed to be puzzled, and there was also such an illusory desire to conquer.

The butler cast a displeased glance at the suitors who had other plans, and left behind the count.

Qi Tianhe got up immediately, and Liu Tianming walked out with him. After a certain distance, he could still hear the sound of Li Lian gobbling behind him.

Liu Tianming: "What do you think about Li Lian?"

Qi Tianhe: "There may be many reasons."

The letter he wrote was not welcomed by the Earl, he failed to complete the task of the old lady, and his foot was stabbed the night before... Li Lian made many mistakes, but it is hard to say which one is the most fatal.

"But I have an idea."

Liu Tianming: "To find the old lady?"

"Yes, she can seal those bats under the bed. She must know more about Li Lian's situation than we do."

"Very good." Liu Tianming agreed, but he didn't go downstairs when he reached the stairs, as if he was going to keep going.

Qi Tianhe wondered: "Not together?"

Liu Tianming shook his head: "Go and do your work, I'll get rid of Chen Dianshui."

"it is good."

After walking two steps, Qi Tianhe suddenly turned around: "Wait, what did you say?"

Liu Tianming talked about the matter: "The earl has already had a tendency, if you don't get rid of Chen Dianshui, the follow-up will be very troublesome."

"In the copy, the difficulty of killing people will increase," Qi Tianhe frowned: "It's not worth the risk."

Liu Tianming: "I have arrangements." He looked at Qi Tianhe: "Be careful yourself, I have to prepare some things in advance, don't let him kill you before then."

For Chen Dianshui, Qi Tianhe was also a big hidden danger.

But Liu Tianming selfishly thinks that this possibility is very small. Qi Tianhe may be hiding a cruel soul under his calm appearance, but this is also understandable...Physical defects can easily cause mental imbalance and even distortion.

His eyes quickly swept over him, and then retracted.

"..." Qi Tianhe deeply suspected that the other party's eyes just now had some deep meaning.

After the two separated, Qi Tianhe went around the garden and walked to the lawn, but he didn't see the old woman in a familiar place.

"Have you seen the count's mother?" he asked the gardener.

Gardener: "The cake is delicious, can you steal a piece for me?"

It seems that in his world, there are only flowers and cakes.

Qi Tianhe was too lazy to take the risk of stealing things for such a problem, so he chose to wander around alone to search.When looking for the trace of the old lady, he recalled the conversation with Liu Tianming. As the person who spent the most time with the earl, he was indeed troublesome to Chen Dianshui.

Liu Tianming thinks that Chen Dianshui will attack him, this judgment is not without basis.

Under the dark sky, Qi Tianhe paused, and suddenly realized that Chen Dianshui had already made a move, but he didn't notice it?

For example, there is such a long secret passage behind the wall, and there are many forks in it, which means that there are also secret passages leading to other rooms. Why did the old earl appear in his room that night?

"A lying mouth is an abomination to the LORD..."

The voice drifted over with the wind. Under an old big tree, the old woman was rarely praying, holding a "Bible" and reading.

Qi Tianhe looked at her and remembered that he was also reciting the "Bible" when he entered the dungeon. At that time, every player had a copy. Later, because of the mirror lie detection, he was temporarily kicked out of the castle. When he came back, he didn't see the Bible on the table again. The Bible.

But at that time, I didn't take it too seriously, I just took it away as a housekeeper, but now I think it's not impossible for a player to secretly take it away.

"You are right. When you met Chen Dianshui in the garden last night, he was not only making a hidden weapon for the count, but also burning the Bible that he stole from you earlier."

After listening to the parrot's speech, the corner of Qi Tianhe's mouth twitched: "This news is really timely."

The parrot is indifferent: "Everything that doesn't kill you will make you stronger."

"..." Don't tamper with celebrity quotes at will, okay?

Seeing Qi Tianhe coming, the old woman stood there motionless, talking to herself, and beckoned with her thin hand.

Qi Tianhe adjusted his smile and walked over.

"I have something to ask you." Qi Tianhe put on a respectful gesture: "I have a friend who always says that his heart is empty, as if he is always hungry."

The voice fell, and the air fell into a momentary silence.

The kindness in her eyes faded away, and the old woman looked at him gradually becoming terrified, and the veins in her hands swelled up, and she squeezed the edge of the book with all her strength, as if she was about to smash it at the next moment.

Qi Tianhe emphasized again: "It's my friend, not me."

The old woman stared at him firmly, and after making sure that Qi Tianhe was breathing normally and speaking logically, she dropped her arms again.

Seeing this, Qi Tianhe heaved a sigh of relief, and cut the long story short: "Do you think my friend can still be saved?"

Only then did the old woman's tempered emotions become excited again: "Burn him to death! Burn them all!"

She pressed down on the bare shoulders so hard that her nails were about to pierce through the clothes and stab them in.Qi Tianhe guessed that Li Lian had probably settled down, so he changed the topic in due course: "The preparations for the engagement banquet have already begun, but the Earl's current intention is not me."

The old woman had a deep resentment towards her daughter, and when she heard that Qi Tianhe was not the candidate she was looking for, she began to swear regardless of her image.

Without directly asking about the cross necklace, Qi Tianhe tentatively asked, "What do you think I should do to win back the earl's heart?"

The scolding stopped abruptly, and the old woman calmed down very abruptly. At the same time, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "She asked you to come to me for that necklace, right?"

Qi Tianhe didn't speak, but he didn't deny it either.

"I married a devil, and then gave birth to another devil..." The old woman held the Bible in her arms tightly: "No, it was the devil who first bewitched..."

Qi Tianhe stood aside, silently waiting for her to finish venting.

After a long time, the old woman finally stopped her useless chatter and started to talk about serious business: "I have two dowries, one is a pearl bracelet, and the other is what that evil bastard wants."

Qi Tianhe: "That necklace is really so magical, can it exorcise evil spirits?"

Provoked by him, the old woman became emotionally angry and said, "Are you questioning me for lying?"

Qi Tianhe: "Of course not." Then he said: "Can you show me?"

The old woman looked at him without blinking for nearly ten seconds before saying hello, and then there was no movement.

Qi Tianhe asked a few more questions, but the old lady didn't answer at all. When he was about to give up, he suddenly said: "You lower your head."

Qi Tianhe lowered his neck a little bit, showing that he should be vigilant.

The old woman removed the cover of the Bible, and there was a string of cross necklaces hidden under the heavy book cover, which she put on for Qi Tianhe herself.

The cross has only been polished briefly, and the style is also very generous. It matches the white robe that Qi Tianhe is wearing now, and it actually looks quite good.

It's a pity that the person involved was not in the mood to appreciate this strange beauty, but instead had the illusion that he had hit the evil. From the moment the necklace touched the skin on his neck, Qi Tianhe felt an indescribable coolness.

"Is something wrong?" he asked the parrot.

The parrot acts as an emotionless repeating machine: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

"..."

Qi Tianhe tried to take it off, but once he lowered his head, it was difficult to lift his head up again.He had no choice but to maintain this stiff state temporarily and go back to the room, and asked the maid to arrange for a new iron bed to be brought in before going upstairs.

With the lessons learned from being dragged into the secret room with the person and the bed, this time Qi Tianhe specially asked people to put the bed in the middle without touching the walls on several sides.

Lying on the bed, my neck finally felt a little better.

He didn't rest all night last night. He opened his eyes and looked at the spider web in the upper corner, and soon fell asleep in a daze.I don't know how long it has passed, Qi Tianhe smelled the smell of soil, and there was still a ticking sound outside. He woke up from his sleep and turned his head to look at the iron window. .

The knock on the door drowned out the sound of raindrops.

"Qi Tianhe." Someone called him: "Are you there? Open the door quickly."

It was a very familiar voice, and it seemed to be very trustworthy.Qi Tianhe sat up reflexively, rubbed his neck, and prepared to open the door.

Just as he put his hand on the doorknob, he suddenly took it back.

"Who is it?" He pressed his eyebrows while asking, his mind was in chaos.

The people outside were a little impatient: "It's me."

After speaking, he knocked harder on the door again, one after another, the pounding vibration seemed to be knocking on people's eardrums.

"Hurry up." A few seconds later, seeing no response from the people inside, he urged: "It's me, open the door for me."

"Me?" Qi Tianhe murmured and repeated, the necklace made him breathless, half of his body leaned against the door panel.

who am I?

As soon as this question came up, there was a sudden sharp pain in his mind, which could not be relieved even if he firmly pressed his fist against his temple. The pain made him squat down tremblingly.The sound of knocking on the door continued, and Qi Tianhe slid his hand from his forehead, holding the cross tightly until one end of the cross pierced his palm, and the moment blood oozed out, he was dripping with cold sweat, but he suddenly woke up... the road outside Isn't the voice his own?

With this realization, the overwhelming pain in my mind gradually dissipated.

Just then, the doorknob came loose.

With a 'bang', a hole was directly opened in the door lock, and white fingers suddenly stretched in, grabbing Qi Tianhe's collar.

Qi Tianhe put his feet against the wall, kicked hard, and with a stabbing sound, he was able to break free when his clothes were torn.

Just a moment after the crisis was resolved, the unlocked door was easily pushed open. Unlike the urgency just now, the door was pushed open rather slowly, and the sound of the "squeak" door opening was also infinitely prolonged, stimulating the nerve endings.

Qi Tianhe almost uttered a dirty word, isn't it true in horror stories that as long as you don't open the door, ghosts can't come in?

Don't talk about ghost morality!

In the end, the door was completely opened, and what appeared in front of him was not a ghost, but a person who looked exactly like him, to what extent... Even the tear in the white robe was a complete copy.

Surprised for only a moment, Qi Tianhe quickly thought about the way out, calling for help would definitely not work, and might even attract a make-up knife, as if thinking of something, he lowered his eyes and stood up.

"Do you want to use the secret room to fight once?" The same self grinned: "There is no need to make unnecessary struggles, because I am you, the real you, and I know all the possibilities you will consider."

"...It's like the tip of your little finger trembles slightly when you're nervous, yes, just like now."

Qi Tianhe ignored his nonsense and wanted to find a way to break the situation.

"You can't win." The man took a few steps closer and stood in front of him: "Because no one in this world can fully accept the true self."

The overwhelming aura forced Qi Tianhe to raise his head and look at him, and suddenly thought of the words that lingered in his ears before entering the dungeon——

Can you accept who you really are?

Obviously not.

Qi Tianhe could easily see the violence and indifference in the opponent's eyes, like a trapped wild animal, which would rush out of the cage at any time to bite and destroy everything.

Even if they are not players, normal people also have negative and angry moments, but the knowledge they have learned, morality, and legal constraints can prevent the situation from developing in an extreme direction.If everyone shows their true self without any scruples, it will bring disaster sooner or later.

The neck became more and more stiff, and the oppressive thinking could not be active. Before falling into confusion again, Qi Tianhe gritted his teeth and insisted: "You and I are not the same, you don't even have the most basic values."

The four eyes met, and his eyes were even more fearless.

However, the 'self' standing face to face did not disappear because of this firmness.

"..."

Really don't talk about ghost morality!

When he broke through the fog of thought and strengthened himself, the ghost with a bottom line should regretfully exit.

The cruel reality was in front of him. Instead of disappearing, the ghost slowly raised his cold hand and pinched towards the slender neck.

Qi Tianhe had no strength to stop him at all, and his breathing gradually became difficult. The props on his body seemed to be sealed and could not be taken out.

"you are not me……"

At this time, he still persisted in a hoarse voice, and said with the other party's indifferent smile: "I have evidence."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes, and a beautiful parrot appeared out of thin air. Its tail was longer than that of ordinary birds, and a pair of small eyes flashed with emotions that only humans have. The parrot circled and stopped above Qi Tianhe, looking down from a high Looking at the so-called real self on the opposite side, he said in disgust: "Where did the counterfeit and defective products come from?"

The "true self" calmly disappeared before, and the hand holding his neck relaxed a little... As if feeling his own strength was passing, he looked at Qi Tianhe with resentment on his face.

Qi Tianhe twitched the corner of his mouth: "Look, I said we are different, I have a bird in my head, do you have one?"

The author has something to say: Qi Tianhe: You didn't, where did you have the face to say that you are me?

True Me: ...
