It's almost like I'm a fairy

Once the old earl dies, it will take another three years.

After Qi Tianhe said this, Chen Dianshui suddenly lost interest in doing the funeral mission, and even once wished that Mr. Rost would live a long life.Thinking about it again, the other party is already a vampire, and the term "hundred years old" is a bit humiliating for the old earl.

"Shouldn't we first discuss how to get the Earl to advance the date of appointment?"

When Chen Dianshui spoke, his brows frowned slightly.

Qi Tianhe really wanted to reply, "Why did I know this before?", the worldly wisdom made him smile, and asked the opinion of another person present: "What do you think?"

Liu Tianming looked indifferent: "Three years, it's a bit long."

The word 'long' is specially accented, it seems that I can't wait to shorten it to three days.

After thinking about it, Qi Tianhe said, "It's not difficult at all. From a psychological point of view, Earl's advantage is not obvious, after all, the supply is limited."

There are only three of them left. Although they are not crooked, they all have other plans.

Liu Tianming's eyes moved: "Are you trying to create the illusion that demand exceeds supply?"

"It can be said like this," Qi Tianhe said, "For example, if you take the initiative to pursue a maid, it will create a sense of crisis for the Earl."

Chen Dianshui interjected: "Reminder, the Earl is very smart and has read a lot, and in the eyes of the housekeeper and maid, we are no different from dead things."

Qi Tianhe: "Being active can eliminate barriers."

Before the words were finished, the maid walked right in front with the tea set.People usually subconsciously look at each other when they hear the voice of communication, but she didn't even give her a look from the beginning to the end.

Chen Dianshui raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you mean to take the initiative?"

Qi Tianhe was silent for a while, and walked over to strike up a conversation: "Katie, thank you for helping me repair the door." After a pause, he said: "By the way, Katie, I hope you will deliver the soothing water tonight."

The maid stopped and said expressionlessly, "Sir, my name is Linda, and it's Reith who repaired your door."

After saying that, he walked away.

Qi Tianhe looked at Chen Dianshui: "She and I already know each other's names, entering a new stage."

Chen Dianshui: "...let's take the task first."

Qi Tianhe cooperates with his decision.

The game notification sound appears instantly:

[Optional task two: Funeral.

Tips: 1. Legend has it that there are often ghosts haunting the castle. 2. Something likes to attack sleeping people at night. 】

After repeatedly confirming the content of the prompt, Qi Tianhe realized the danger: "So you have to wait until you fall asleep before you have a chance to attract the old earl?"

Chen Dianshui's analysis: "The task will not give a dead end, and the possibility of NPC killing people is not high."

Qi Tianhe agrees with him, now that the mission has been taken over, he can only take one step at a time.

There were so many things that happened that day, it was raining non-stop outside, and because he was busy preparing for the funeral, the butler had a lot to deal with, and the dinner started half an hour later than usual.

When going downstairs, Liu Tianming walked in the front and stopped slightly at the stairs.

"What's the matter?" Qi Tianhe walked around and poked his head out, and saw that the earl was already sitting upright in the main seat in the hall below.

The addition of one more person made the atmosphere of the dinner a little weird.

The earl's meal is simpler than that of the player, only a glass of red wine and steak.The sharp knife and fork cut along one end, and the earl's strength suddenly eased, and the tip of the knife lightly slid across the surface of the steak.

"I read a book about oriental customs. It says that the elders should avoid meat when they die."

Qi Tianhe: "There are different customs in different places."

The count smiled, cut off a piece and put it into his red lips.

Qi Tianhe shook his wine glass lightly, peeking at the maid from time to time, he vividly interpreted what it meant to be a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.

"Reith, have you eaten?"

The count didn't take it seriously at first, until the moment the maid's name was called, he swallowed a little slower, and his eyes turned cold.

Qi Tianhe: "I haven't thanked you for repairing the door for me yet."

The maid was unresponsive, like an emotionless puppet.

Chen Dianshui echoed lightly: "Miss Ruisi's craftsmanship is really good."

However, the tone of his speech was a little unnatural, probably because Qi Tianhe's script was too bloody.

The two sang together, and the earl's eyes flickered for a moment. When the knife and fork cut the steak again, the strength became stronger, as if he wanted to express something but couldn't express his feelings in words.

Qi Tianhe said calmly: "There is a feeling called 'I seem to have loved you for a short time'."

Hearing that the earl raised his eyelids, with great force, the tip of the knife rubbed against the plate, the sound made people feel numb.

Instead, Qi Tianhe smiled and added calmly: "Don't misunderstand, I just suddenly remembered seeing such a sentence before."

The study of human psychological changes is his field of expertise.

If you ask the earl if he really likes the player?The answer is of course no.

The player is more like a toy she expects. Whether the toy meets expectations is one thing, but even if she doesn't like it, she is not allowed to be preempted by others when choosing.

Facing the cold air emanating from the earl, Qi Tianhe acted like a normal person the whole time, eating and drinking, and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth after he was full, and looked at the other maid standing beside the butler with a smile.

"Linda, your brooch is a little crooked."

The atmosphere of a dinner dropped to freezing point because of Qi Tianhe's performance.

The earl's upbringing prevented her from throwing the knife and fork over to show her off. Even so, she deliberately kept her wrist at a certain height after the meal, and the sound of the knife falling on the plate was very crisp.

The count left with a sullen face, not even having dessert after dinner.

A thunderbolt suddenly flashed outside the window, and the strong silver-blue light overwhelmed the brightness of the oil lamp, illuminating the entire castle brightly in an instant.The butler's complexion looked stiff and strange under the light, and he said coldly, "It's been a long time since there has been such a heavy rain."

The thunder continued, and a 'bang' could be heard every five or six seconds.

"Perhaps the old earl felt his wife's death and was venting his anger." The butler looked at the player: "Remember to lock the door tonight, don't run around, and don't get caught by bad things."

It seems to be a reminder, more like a curse.

The maid came over to clear the dishes, and Qi Tianhe held his chin: "Rui Si, do you need my help?"

The maid didn't respond at all.

The long table was quickly cleared away, the maids and butler had left, and the players were still sitting at the table.

Chen Dianshui: "I heard that you are a psychiatrist in real life?"

Qi Tianhe nodded.

"Psychiatrists should be more calm than ordinary people," Chen Dianshui said in a calm voice, "I suggest you change to a more normal method."

Why, in order to make the heroine make up her mind, she intentionally expressed affection for other girls, which made the heroine jealous and then chose other men around her out of anger.In fact, all this is exactly what the scumbag wants. It turned out that his purpose from the beginning was to help his good brother catch up with the heroine.

Just thinking about this trend is no longer something that can be described by words like bad vulgarity.

Qi Tianhe wondered: "Isn't it very good?" He smiled and said: "The more bloody, the more powerful. As long as the conditions and formulas are used correctly, the answer you want must be obtained."

Chen Dianshui glanced at him, but said nothing.

Liu Tianming didn't need to do the task, so he went upstairs without joining their discussion.

Qi Tianhe and Chen Dianshui discussed several ways to deal with the old earl, and they returned to the room when it was almost nightfall.

The task starts at night, and there is limited space for a small iron bed. Chen Dianshui needs to bring a few chairs to make a temporary cot, and spend the night in Qi Tianhe's room.

The prompt requires the player to ensure that they are in a state of sleep. Fortunately, the maid has brought soothing water tonight. Otherwise, there will be lightning and thunder outside the window, and it may not be possible to fall asleep.

Not long after drinking the water, sleepiness gradually invaded, and Qi Tianhe had a dream unknowingly.He seemed to hear some movement in the haze, and he forced his eyelids open, only to see a black shadow half a person's height coming to the corner of the bed.

On a night with no moon and only the sound of rain, the room was very dark, but Qi Tianhe quickly figured out what was at the end of the bed.

...a black wolfdog, with threatening roars from its throat, if it was a simple bark, it would not be so scary, but this kind of "ho ho" panting before eating makes people's scalp numb.

The dog's mouth was only a few centimeters away from Qi Tianhe's ankle, and every time it made a sound, the turbid air was spit at the ankle.

At the critical moment, Qi Tianhe was like a ghost pressing the bed, unable to move his body, he turned his head with all his strength, only turned a small angle, and couldn't see Chen Dianshui on the other side at all.

List--

He tried very hard to call out the other person's name, but the voice could only echo repeatedly in his heart.

The wolfdog's muffled growl continued, and the frequency was stronger than before.

Qi Tianhe clenched his teeth and gradually regained some control over his body.Now the legs are just numb, but they can move, but the speed is not expected to be too fast.

The situation is not optimistic. Qi Tianhe can feel that the wolf dog will attack at any time, and he is eager to withdraw his legs. However, at such a short distance, once he makes an evasive movement, the wolf dog will definitely pounce on him within a few tenths of a second. , Bite off the ankle.

He stretched out his hand and moved slowly, grabbed the corner of the pillow, made up his mind to break the boat, and smashed the pillow with all his might.

When a foreign object hits it, the dog's first reaction is to hide.

Qi Tianhe breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time took out a small shovel and quickly jumped to the other side of the bed.

The temporary bed made up of several chairs was empty, and Chen Dianshui went somewhere. When there was another thunder in the sky, Qi Tianhe finally saw the black dog at the corner of the bed clearly.

Its skeleton is large, but its skin is loose and loose, and some places directly expose the bones. The most terrifying thing is the teeth, which are twice as dense as ordinary dogs. This scene reminds Qi Tianhe of the Hell Dog in the previous movie. image.

A lot of mutated bats flew out of the window, hanging upside down on the edge of the iron window in a row. There were more and more bats, almost completely blocking the iron window. If this continued, the room would sooner or later be completely invisible.

Qi Tianhe didn't dare to act rashly, worried that when he knocked down the mutated bat, he would be attacked by a dog.

He remembered that day when he was practicing ballroom dancing, all the animal specimens he saw in the laboratory on the third floor were all the experimental subjects of the old earl, and there seemed to be dogs among them.

Just a second before the room was completely plunged into darkness, the door of the secret room opened.

The vicious dog stepped forward and walked towards Qi Tianhe. Qi Tianhe had no choice but to walk towards the deeper and more terrifying secret room.

Before walking too far, he accidentally saw an iron bed, and Qi Tianhe pursed his lips. Isn't this the iron bed that the old count pulled in that day?

The dog behind him suddenly accelerated and rushed over. Qi Tianhe raised the shovel, but the dog ran straight forward without attacking him.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, mutated bats flooded into the entrance of the secret room again. They were huge in number and connected in black.

A group of ants can still eat an elephant, not to mention such a group of mutated bats.

Qi Tianhe ran forward, there were many forks in the secret room, and soon he found that his escape route seemed to have been arranged long ago, and every few key intersections, the vicious dogs would stop and block the way, forcing him to run to another way.

After being blocked twice in a row, Qi Tianhe realized that something was wrong. This dog was like a hound, and it forced him into the trap set by the hunter little by little.

"Chen some water."

Qi Tianhe looked around from time to time while running, presuming that the other party might wake up before him and was also forced into the secret room, trying to find his trace.Now only the two of them work together, one to deal with the mutated wolfhound, and the other to temporarily resist the bats, can there be a possibility of escape.

"I am here."

Finally a familiar voice answered him, Qi Tianhe ran until his clothes were soaked, when he looked up, the first thing he saw was not Chen Dianshui, but the old earl standing opposite Chen Dianshui.

Behind him were dogs barking wildly, bats were circling in the air, and the old earl in front was grinning sinisterly.

Chen Dianshui spoke out Qi Tianhe's heartfelt voice: "This task should not be called a funeral, it should be called a death."

Send the player to the end.

Qi Tianhe looked at the old earl, and wanted to try to communicate in a human way for the last time. Unfortunately, Mr. Rost, who was extremely stubborn during his lifetime, had not changed after his death. He did not give him this chance, so he clapped his hands. Come together.The old earl was not idle either, and shot at the same time.

...Are old people fighting so wildly now?

"I'm going to deal with the mutated bats and dogs." Qi Tianhe quickly calmed down, and a ghost fire appeared in the palm of his hand: "Just wait for 2 minutes."

No matter how bad it is, let the old earl run away with [old banknotes], but in that case, the mission will fall short.

The most reasonable way right now is to solve the worries first, and then work together to deal with the old earl. There is about half the chance of winning.

Chen nodded in agreement.He doesn't have any mass shooting skills, so it's better to deal with bats on the Qitian River.

This was the first time that Qi Tianhe tried to use the will-o'-the-wisp to the maximum extent. The faint fire light bounced on the wings and snake tail of the mutated bat, and ignited almost instantly.At this time, the number of bats became a disadvantage instead, and the fire spread very quickly, even the vicious dogs were also affected.

Burned by the flames, the vicious dog rushed over angrily, Qi Tianhe waved a shovel to block it, and at the same time kept throwing will-o'-the-wisps.

As the failed experiment of the old earl, the dog died a long time ago, but just like the zombies in Resident Evil, its attack power and vitality got a qualitative leap on the other hand.Even if there is only one bone left, it can still fight back.

Qi Tianhe's will-o'-the-wisp is not as strong as it was at the beginning, but he has no choice. The only way is to rely on excessive physical strength to complete this life-and-death confrontation.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and the white bones over there finally began to slowly fall apart.

With a 'pop' sound, when Qi Tianhe's body was about to fall, the bones were completely scattered and turned into ashes first.

Forcibly stabilizing his body, Qi Tianhe bent his fingers, secretly thinking that this thing is several times more difficult to deal with than the low-level vampire that Li Lian turned into after alienation.

Taking a deep breath, he turned around to help Chen get some water.

"Heart." Chen Dianshui reminded in a low voice: "His weakness lies in his heart."

The old earl's heart rose and fell, which was not caused by normal breathing.Qi Tianhe judged that there might also be a mutated bat living in the heart of the old earl.

The two have a clear division of labor, Chen Dianshui is responsible for attracting firepower, and Qi Tianhe focuses on the heart.

The visibility in the secret room is very low, and it is much better to rely on the firelight of the Qitian River.The old earl's eyesight was not affected by the darkness at all, and his movements were much faster than theirs.

"I hope I don't lose money." Chen Dianshui held a piece of talisman paper between his fingers, and reminded Qi Tianhe before using it: "It's only seven seconds."

Yu Bi hit the old earl's elbow sideways, and at the same time pasted the talisman paper on the old earl's pale face, Qi Tianhe was not polite, and used his last strength to release the will-o'-the-wisp.A hole was burned in the heart of the old count, and there was a strange cry from inside.

An afterimage struggled in the firelight, and the outline of wings and snake tail could be vaguely seen. It was certain that it was a mutated bat.

The old earl couldn't feel the pain, but he could feel the rapidly passing vitality in his body.

Qi Tianhe did not forget to stimulate him verbally: "Your wife has been waiting for you underground for a long time."

The old earl opened and closed his mouth, as if he was roaring. No sound came out, but it was creepy enough.

Qi Tianhe suddenly moved his ears and turned around abruptly, another batch of mutated bats rushed over. At the same time, the old earl fell to the ground. His body was so light that he didn't make much noise when he fell to the ground.

Chen Dianshui: "Something is wrong."

Optional missions shouldn't be this difficult.

Qi Tianhe had a guess: "Could it be what the old earl did in the end?"

From his perspective, the old earl should still be able to hold on for a while, and he shouldn't die so simply.

Chen Dianshui was in a daze for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed: "Operation against regulations."

"Ok?"

"I encountered it once," Chen Dianshui: "Generally NPCs have to abide by the rules of the game, but some are more rebellious."

The corner of Qi Tianhe's mouth twitched: "Rebellious means..."

"At the cost of death, it violates the rules set by the game."

"..."

Facing the flood of bats, Qi Tianhe threw a ball of will-o'-the-wisp and smiled weakly: "Actually, I have some bad news."

Chen Dianshui was thinking of a way to escape, so he asked perfunctorily, "What?"

It couldn't possibly be worse than it is now anyway.

Qi Tianhe: "I'm going to faint."

Chen Dianshui froze for a few seconds: "You..."

Qi Tianhe did what he said, and immediately fainted.

The uninterrupted output for a long time had already exhausted his physical strength, and he was able to survive until now because of his breath. When the old earl fell down, his breath also dissipated.

Watching Qi Tianhe's body slide down the stone wall little by little, and finally collapsed on the ground, Chen Dianshui's first reaction was that this person was joking, right?

It wasn't until the bats swarmed in that Qi Tianhe was almost motionless... only then was he sure that he really fainted.

Chen Dianshui was forced to resist the bats alone, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while, wondering if all returnees are so willful now?

It wasn't that he was cruel. At this moment, Chen Dianshui was seriously thinking about whether to leave Qi Tianhe and flee alone. After all, he didn't have group control skills, so he couldn't keep kryptonite props.They were also unlucky to meet an NPC who violated the rules.

When Chen Dianshui was considering preparing for the evacuation, about a dozen bats bypassed his attack and surrounded the unconscious Qi Tianhe.Fresh prey is in front of them, and the bats show their teeth and prepare to crunch the food a little bit.

Chen Dianshui was also surrounded and couldn't help himself, so he glanced sympathetically at Qi Tianhe, who was surrounded by black shadows, and prayed for him to die quickly.At the same time, I couldn't help but feel emotional, the impermanence and cruelty of the copy can be seen, and even the returnees sometimes miscalculated.

Originally, it was time for the mutated bats to feast, but the mutation appeared in the next moment, and the bats gathered together screamed and turned into black ash.The flames around them were almost colorless, petal after petal, like crabapple flowers in bud, inconspicuous at first, but cold and dazzling when they bloomed.

A man with long hair and black eyes walked in the firelight, his pair of phoenix eyes set off his face very bewitchingly.He hugged Qi Tianhe who had passed out, and walked past Chen Dianshui without squinting. The mutated bats didn't look as arrogant as before, and rushed out as if fleeing for their lives.

The long-haired man didn't give them a chance to survive, and moved his fingers lightly, from the tail to the wings, the traces of the bats were instantly erased.

Chen Dianshui couldn't say a word, so he could only follow behind instinctively.

The long-haired man stopped suddenly, and when Chen Dianshui wondered if he would kill himself, he listened to his order: "Take the body with you."

Chen Dianshui was stunned, and ran back to carry the broken body of the old earl on his back, worried about contracting the virus, and protected himself tightly during the period.

Qi Tianhe was placed on the bed. The long-haired man hesitated for a moment, and habitually covered him with a quilt. When he looked at Chen Dianshui again, his eyes returned to the previous indifference, and he stretched out his index finger to make a silent movement.

Chen Dianshui suddenly heard the word "forbidden" lingering in his ears, but he didn't feel any discomfort in his body.

"If you want to survive, just control your mouth."

The long-haired man spoke concisely and disappeared in the darkness, as if he had never appeared before.

·

The next day was sunny.

When Qi Tianhe woke up, the back of his head hurt a little, as if he had knocked it somewhere.

After opening his eyes for a few seconds, he sat up on the bed and was surprised by the fact that he was still alive.Looking at the other side, Chen Dianshui seemed to have not slept all night, leaning on the chair, his drooping eyelashes casting a shadow.

Qi Tianhe rubbed his temples: "What happened after last night?"

Chen Dianshui took a deep look at him: "Go to breakfast first, it's already out of date."

At the dinner table, Qi Tianhe greeted the maid as usual and said good morning: "Rui Si, today you are more radiant than yesterday."

Probably to increase understanding, the earl had dinner with the players these two times, his expression was condensed, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Do you want to write another poem?"

Qi Tianhe said calmly: "Poetry can't describe the beauty of Reith." After speaking, his tone was perfunctory: "Of course, the earl is also very beautiful, just like roses in the garden."

Liu Tianming took a sip of scented tea, and said softly, "I don't know how long this bloody drama will be staged."

"God's blood is the only way to survive." Chen Dianshui expressed uncharacteristically.

Liu Tianming thought he heard it wrong: "Huh?"

Chen Dianshui kept silent, recalling in his mind the scene of Qi Tianhe being hugged and rescued in the firelight, TV dramas are not so visual.

"Qi Tianhe is right," he sighed, "The more bloody you are, the more powerful you are."

In this day and age, if you can't be Jack Sue, you have to become Mary Sue, otherwise it will be different.

Liu Tianming felt that Chen Dianshui was a little naughty today, so he immediately asked Qi Tianhe: "How was last night?"

Qi Tianhe described it: "The first half of the night was full of ups and downs, but I slept well after passing out in the second half of the night. By the way, I seem to have dreamed of a particularly cold and beautiful fire."

When he was talking to Liu Tianming, Chen Dianshui ate in silence the whole time... appeared, the special speech of silly white sweet amnesia meme.

It's ridiculous that this kind of bloody plot happens in a game known for its cruelty.

Sure enough...the world has changed.

After Qi Tianhe finished the conversation with Liu Tianming, he touched Chen Dianshui's elbow, feeling lucky to survive the catastrophe: "It seems that we are just as unlucky to have such an NPC."

Chen Dianshui responded calmly: "We are different."

Qi Tianhe's experience last night was: being embraced by a gentle princess, being saved by a hero, while the hero was talking and laughing, the mast and scull were wiped out.

And his experience is: watching Mary Sue being favored in distress, carrying the old earl's body alone, and walking alone in the dark at the risk of being infected.

Thinking of this, Chen Dianshui suddenly put down the knife and fork.

Qi Tianhe: "What's wrong?"

Chen Dianshui felt disappointed: "It's nothing, I just can't eat anymore."

The author has something to say: Chen Dianshui: We are different, different!
