I rely on otome games to play through the escape world

Xu Wenhao slammed the door shut, but it was too late.The rotting corpse stepped in before him, and the door slammed into the back wall.

When he was about to be surrounded, a figure flashed in front of him!

It's a bear!

The other party pulled out the kitchen knife from his belly, and directly aimed at the carrion corpse and chopped it down.

He was just trying it out, but he didn't expect the other party to really protect him.

Xu Wenhao was slightly taken aback.But he didn't delay too long, he got out of the rotting corpses immediately, and ran all the way to the third floor.

The Count must be found.

The housekeeper didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to come out halfway, and shook the lantern lightly.In the next second, the rotting corpses attacked even more fiercely.

Although the puppet bear is agile and strong, what it faces is an undead monster.In the end, he was defeated by three punches and four hands. After another slash, his limbs were grabbed by the carrion corpses—a violent pull!

The body instantly fell apart.

The puppet bear's head fell to the ground, and all the cotton in its body exploded, and a heavy snow fell in the air.

"!"

Seeing all this, Xu Wenhao staggered.Many memories suddenly appeared in my mind.

His encounter with the Muppet Bear.

At first, the opponent chased him with a machete, waving the blade vigorously;

Then, the other party kicked him into the earl's room, and left him to face the earl alone by pretending to be dead;

In the end, the other party smashed the Earl's cabinet with a single knife, and was not responsible.

"..."

There seems to be nothing worth remembering.

Xu Wenhao was exhausted, and before he had time to run up to the third floor, he was overtaken by the rotten corpse behind him.

Even so, he was out of breath.He lowered his head and took a deep breath.

Running the stairs is literally the most tiring thing in the world.

His hands and feet were firmly bound by the carrion, and sticky skin stuck to him.After getting so close, the smell of blood and stench became more obvious.

The steward's cold voice sounded in his ears: "Take him to the sacrificial place."

Plans can't keep up with changes.

Xu Wenhao missed two things.

First, he thought that there was only the butler standing outside the door, and with his own skills and the little bear, he could always subdue him; second, he overestimated his physical strength.

Ben is an otaku, but he actually wants to climb the stairs and climb past others.

Fortunately, the butler didn't attack immediately, but escorted him downstairs.

Xu Wenhao remembered that Lu Yu said that to go to the sacrificial place, one must pass through the butler's room.

[How is the situation?I heard a lot of movement]

At this time, Lu Yu's voice sounded in his head.

Xu Wenhao's hands were tightly bound, and the rotting corpse's missing brain was reflected in his eyes.As he walked, from time to time, white brains fell down.

It's no use even panicking.He tried his best to calm his breath, and replied: 【Failed.There is more than one butler outside]

Lu Yu frowned: [It stands to reason that the rotting corpse will disappear at dawn]

Xu Wenhao: [I think so too.But now I'm surrounded by a group]

And he did open the door after confirming that the morning light had come in.

Xu Wenhao: [Could the butler have tampered with it? 】

For example, the light coming in from outside the courtyard made him mistakenly think that it was dawn.

Lu Yu questioned: [Can the butler leave the courtyard? 】

Xu Wenhao reacted.

That's true.The earl has been trapped in the mansion, there is no reason for the butler to go out.What's more, from the first meeting, the maximum movement range of the other party is near the entrance.

...So, the housekeeper said before that he was going to bury the body, where did he bury it?

Xu Wenhao didn't dare to think about this matter.

In short, if the butler is not a mischief, and the premise of "rotting corpses appear at night and disappear during the day" is correct, then there is only one possibility.

- the boundary between day and night.

Does dawn belong to day or night?

The time flow of this "small world" is faster, maybe he can delay time.When only the butler is left, use your skills to do it.

Thinking of this, Xu Wenhao looked up to the front.The opponent's figure was blocked by the rotting corpses, looming.

He let out a breath slowly, and spoke again.Make a panicked expression: "Excuse me...why did you arrest me? What are they?"

Candles flickered in and out in the hallway.It's like a gateway to hell.The lantern in the butler's hand can only illuminate an inch of his feet.

The butler said softly, "Of course I'm taking you to dinner."

Xu Wenhao: "..."

He heard clearly just now that he was going to take him to the sacrificial place!

The other party was still pretending to be stupid, so Xu Wenhao simply stopped acting: "Where is the sacrifice place? Why did you sacrifice me?"

The housekeeper sighed softly, and his voice was far away: "What's the use of explaining."

"Anyway, you're going to die."

Don't decide so early!

And these were the last words the butler said.Afterwards, no matter how Xu Wenhao asked questions, the housekeeper stopped talking.

This group of rotting corpses passed through the corridor and soon arrived at the door of the butler's room.

Xu Wenhao stared at the butler's movements.

He remembered that Lu Yu said that the door here was restricted and could not be opened.He wanted to know how the butler opened the door so that he could convey it to Lu Yu.

The butler switched the lantern from his right hand to his left, and the door swung open.

It seems nothing special.

Xu Wenhao's eyes fell on the butler's lantern.Speaking of it, he always felt that this lamp was useless at all, and it was not as bright as the candles in the corridor.

And the butler carries it with him day and night, is there any reason for that?

The team poured into the room.

The housekeeper's room was much larger than that of their tenants, but it was still crowded due to the accumulation of debris.

It is here that the cross that stabbed the count was found.

Xu Wenhao looked around the room.

There are many weird props piled up here, which looks scary.The floor is carpeted, and in the center of the carpet is a huge eye.

No matter which direction you stand in, you will be stared at all the time.

The butler bent down and lifted a corner of the rug.After they were all opened, a hidden door appeared in the center of the floor.

down there?

Xu Wenhao was startled.

He recalled the earl's direction, and there was such a thick and heavy carpet as well.However, he completely ignored the bottom when investigating.

There was a strong force behind him, and he was pushed into the ground.

In an instant, the eyes were shrouded in darkness.

The mansion was already dark enough, and the underground was even more opaque.The stairs are extremely narrow.There was the sound of falling water droplets in my ears, and a strange smell filled my nose.

The field of vision became clear again, probably after a few minutes.

After walking out of the long and narrow corridor, we finally arrived at our destination.

The eyes suddenly opened up, surrounded by rock walls, flickering faint candles.

The ground is a huge magic circle, and the runes are cumbersome and complicated.A huge eye was just outlined in the center, which was exactly the same as the carpet in the butler's room.

And the most interesting thing is the coffin above the magic circle.

There are two pairs.

One left and one right stand opposite each other.

The butler shook the lantern lightly again: "Take him there."

The corpse moved immediately behind him.

Xu Wenhao was pushed and shoved to the coffin on the right.The lid was lifted.

When he saw what was inside, he couldn't help but freeze, and a chill rose from below.

It was an inhuman corpse, and its body was tightly bound.

The whole body is like coke, and the limbs are twisted like firewood.The lips were gone, exposing scorched gums.The hair is still growing, like weeds that have broken through the ground.

This man was burned alive.

"Fang Zhen..." Xu Wenhao read the name of the corpse in a low voice.

Although it is completely impossible to tell from the appearance that it is the smiling baby face, but the body shape is consistent with the hair color.

The timing is also right.

It is difficult for Xu Wenhao to describe his current mood.

He knew that Babyface was dead, and judging from his current experience, the way of death might be painful.

But seeing it with my own eyes this time was still a big blow.

Human death is such an easy thing.

Fear, panic, nausea, nausea, sadness, many different emotions came to my heart.Stomach rolls.

But I haven't eaten for two days, and I can't vomit anything.It just exploded like the stomach acid boiled.

He closed his eyes.

Fortunately, it was not Lu Yu who saw this scene.

The so-called "sacrifice" is to tie people up and burn them alive.

Obviously, this is also the fate he is about to encounter.

"..."

Xu Wenhao looked at the butler: "I thought it would be you lying in there."

Hearing this, the housekeeper frowned slightly.

"Isn't it right?" Xu Wenhao said, "You first destroyed the sacrifice out of selfish desires, and as a result everyone was cursed. And you yourself were trapped. In order to atone for your sins, you had to repeat the sacrifice every day."

"The sacrifice, of course, is yourself."

This is nonsense.

Xu Wenhao's purpose was just to lure the butler into action.Now it is estimated that I can't wait for the rotting corpse to disappear naturally, and the skill can only be used once.

He needs to verify whether his speculation is correct.

Xu Wenhao raised his voice: "But because you are afraid of death, you lure outsiders in day after day and become sacrifices instead of you! You really have no shame!"

"……To shut up."

The butler's face darkened.

Of course Xu Wenhao wouldn't close it: "Let me guess why you sabotaged the sacrifice? For money?"

"Unknowingly killed the earl and took his money. There are so many props piled up in your room, I'm afraid this is not the first time you have done it. Greedy villain who is afraid of death."

"To shut up!"

The butler was no longer as calm as before, and his voice began to tremble.

"What do you know? Things like money? Don't compare me to these stupid servants. All I want is the power of the evil god! It turned out to be cheap for the earl!"

"Obviously obtained the supreme power, it's fine if I don't know how to thank you, but I'm trapped here. Repeat this meaningless sacrifice!"

"Do you know the feeling of wanting to die but not being able to die?" The housekeeper gritted his teeth, "Being burned alive every day, resurrected, and burned to death again. Why should I have to suffer this kind of suffering!"

Why?

Xu Wenhao was stunned for a moment.

Is this guy serious?

Although he guessed wrongly why the butler did it, the culprit of all this was the butler himself.

He missed some clues by not being able to search the housekeeper's room.But the truth can be pieced together from the housekeeper's words.

Compared with the earl, the butler has a better understanding of the "sacrifice".After learning that the earl was going to summon the "evil god", he planned to get in the way of it to gain the power of the evil god.

—— During the period, they may also use money to lure other servants to help.

Did not expect to fail.

The count failed to revive the "lover", and the butler failed to achieve his goal.Both lose.

On the surface, the earl did gain great power, but he also became a monster and was trapped in the mansion forever.The butler was cursed by the earl and had to sacrifice once a day.

In a way, the butler is in the same position as the player—wanting to escape.That's why the butler's room has clues to "how to leave".

Maybe the housekeeper let them find the notes on the big man's body on purpose.

But from the perspective of sacrifice, the butler is the player's enemy.

If I didn't guess wrong, the coffin next to it was probably prepared for the earl's "lover".

Of course it is impossible to succeed.

Only the "lover's soul" can recall the original body, and none of them, including the housekeeper, have any affection for the earl's lover.Just burned to death in vain.

Although it was of no benefit, the curse was over.I'm afraid even the earl himself can't untie it.

Is the butler still human?

Maybe it used to be.But from the moment the other party was burned to death for the first time and then resurrected again, it was no longer.

And this is what Xu Wenhao wants to prove.

Stewards don't gain power like Earls do.So, why do these rotting corpses listen to the butler——

The butler raised the lantern high: "Do it! Push him in!"

Xu Wenhao supported the coffin with his hands, and fixed his eyes on the housekeeper.

Use skills!

Everything in front of him stopped for an instant, and time stopped passing.The butler maintained the posture of holding the lantern high, with his mouth open.

Three option boxes appeared in the air.There are hearts dotted around the frame, which are incompatible with this gloomy scene.

[The protagonist has met the butler.The housekeeper seems to be trying to do something bad, what is the protagonist going to do? 】

【A. Ask your companion for help】

【B. Appease the housekeeper】

【C. Destroy the Lantern】

Xu Wenhao made his choice almost without thinking.

If it is a traditional otome game, most players may choose to appease in the attitude of strategy.But it's clearly not working here.

Just now Xu Wenhao's probing for so long was to find the butler's weakness.Now it's finally certain.

He is being tightly entangled by the rotting corpse, how to attack the butler a few meters away is a problem.

But he remembered what Lu Yu said.As long as this skill makes a choice, it can "ignore all objective conditions to achieve the goal".

Therefore, he must be able to destroy the lantern.

After selecting option C, the floating frame disappears.Time began to flow again.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble violently.The butler staggered and took a step back, shaking the lantern in his hand, the light was almost going out.

This was obviously beyond the housekeeper's expectation.With a flustered look on his face, he reached out to protect the lantern.

The flickering lights returned to calm.

And the next second——!

The earthquake became more and more violent.The gravel fell down, and the whole ground seemed to be buried here.

"Oh!"

Shi Zier fell hard on the lantern.

The butler's expression changed, and he turned and fled outside.

Lanterns are far less solid than they look.Only one gap appeared, and the crack spread like a spider web, and it burst instantly.

Xu Wenhao was pushed into the coffin by the corpse.At this moment, I only felt light on my body, and the strength of pushing him was relieved.

Turning his head to look, he saw that the rotting corpses that surrounded him moved away from him, and instead quickly approached the housekeeper.

The butler didn't have time to escape, and his figure was submerged under the rotting corpse.

"Ahhhh!"

Ultimately, the butler met the same fate.

After the screams, the lantern fell to the ground and shattered completely.

It really depends on this thing.

Xu Wenhao was in shock.

If there was another second in the night, he would have a blind date with the charred corpse.

The servant let go of the choice to attack the butler, probably because the butler is more hateful.After a while, the butler is gone, and the rotting corpses will definitely turn around and attack him.Must escape as soon as possible.

Xu Wenhao straightened up and stepped back quickly.

The shaking still hasn't stopped.

He originally thought it was the effect of his skills, but it didn't seem to be the case.

Speaking of which, similar situations have occurred before.

At that time, he was being chased by the rotten corpse, and an earthquake suddenly started at the critical moment.Then, the shadow appeared.

As soon as this thought came to mind, the temperature of the whole body dropped instantly, as if entering an ice cellar.

Xu Wenhao's body and mind suddenly became cold.

He seemed to understand what was going on.

The count is here?

Now encountering the earl, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.

He originally planned to go to the earl, and then stab the other party when he was not prepared.But now this situation...

The butler is being torn apart by rotting corpses; the mysterious and dark magic circle; two coffins, one of which may be related to the earl's lover.

Seeing all this, the Earl may recall the past again, and realize clearly that he is not a "lover", but just a stranger with a similar appearance.

Then he was rectified on the spot, and the ending was reached: [You who don't speak are the most perfect]

Xu Wenhao thought of the ending scene and quickly shook his head.

So what to do?

There are two entrances and exits throughout the underground.One is the narrow path that the steward took him down, eerie and narrow.There are marks on the wall, which should have been sealed; the other is much more spacious, but the door is now closed.

Xu Wenhao guessed that this is probably connected to the earl's room.

Although he searched around at that time, there was only one place he couldn't find.That's under the rug.

The question now, then, is which direction the Earl will come from.

If it is okay to say from his own room, then he can just take the path and escape.But if he came from the housekeeper's room, he could only find a place to hide.

At least for now, it would never be wise to run into the Earl.

Xu Wenhao didn't think too long, turned around and ran towards the path.

The path is deep and long, without any light.

But after a few steps, he felt something was wrong.

The temperature is lower in this direction, and almost the rock wall will be frozen.

And, he heard footsteps.

The soles of the shoes hit the floor, and the sound echoed in the narrow corridor.

It's from here.

Xu Wenhao paused, and retreated the same way.

Back to the original position, the earthquake has stopped.Around daytime, the rotting corpse disappeared, leaving only the remains of the butler lying on the ground.The expression was terrified, bloody and bloody.

And until tomorrow, the other party may return to the original state and ask them to get up and eat.

Xu Wenhao looked away.Covering his mouth and nose with his hands, he glanced around the ground.

The only place I can hide now is inside the coffin.On one side was a charred corpse, on the other side it was unopened and I don't know what it contained.

The footsteps were getting closer.

Xu Wenhao's heartbeat gradually accelerated.Before he had time to think, he chose the coffin with no corpse on the other side, opened the lid and jumped in.

Pulling back the coffin lid with his backhand, his vision instantly turned black.

At this time, footsteps had already entered the ground.

"..."

Xu Wenhao held his breath and concentrated.

His choice seems to be right.At least the coffin doesn't smell bad, and there's no corpse.

It's just that there seems to be something under the body, which is a little crowded.But he can't see anything now.

The visitor paused after entering the ground, and the sound of footsteps stopped for a while.

Then he raised his foot again and walked towards the coffin.

Don't come, don't come, don't come.

Xu Wenhao repeated in his heart.

The other party came over and walked around the coffin.

Xu Wenhao had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

Don't open don't open don't open.

Please, let's meet at least somewhere else.

This time the prayer seemed to have worked.The other party really did not open the coffin.

But after that, Xu Wenhao never heard anything again.

Darkness confuses people's sight and hearing, and also blurs people's perception of time.

Xu Wenhao didn't know how long it had passed.

Maybe 5 minutes, maybe 10 minutes?

He only felt that his body was getting more and more numb, and the air was getting more and more turbid.

This coffin seems to be airtight.If you go on like this, you will be suffocated to death.

And after that, I didn't hear anything again, so I should have left.

Xu Wenhao raised his hand and propped open the coffin above.

The not-so-clean air rushed in, filled with blood and stench.The light permeated little by little, and after half of the lid was lifted, Xu Wenhao finally had a clear view of the outside scenery.

The body froze involuntarily.

A hand wearing a white glove rests lightly on the side of the coffin, with lowered eyes.

The handsome appearance dilutes the terrifying and dark atmosphere around him.But when meeting those ice-blue pupils, Xu Wenhao only felt intrusive.

How long has the other party been here?

Or did you know that he was hiding here from the beginning?

In a daze, the young man reached into the coffin and gently brushed his cheek.The slightly rough texture of the leather is very familiar.

That night, he used his innate skills for the first time.Someone had touched his face like this before falling asleep.

The movements are as gentle as water, as if touching something fragile.

"Sir, how long are you going to sleep?"

His voice was low.Unlike the appearance of being indistinguishable between male and female, it is very magnetic.

Xu Wenhao gasped.

He dared not move.But if he continues to lie down like this, the other party will also look at him as if he has grown old forever.

Xu Wenhao got up slowly.

During the movement, the elbow bumped against a hard object.

Only then did he realize that there seemed to be something under him.looked down.

Then, the body stiffened again.

It was a puppet, about half the height of a human being.The costume fits well with the background of the story, and he is a noble boy.

His flaxen hair was messy.The eyeballs made of glass are one open and the other closed, the pupils are extremely light, showing a faint amber color.

The corners of the mouth curled up, as if smiling.Even the dimples are made.

When ordinary people see it, they will only think it is a beautifully crafted doll.

But for Xu Wenhao, he couldn't keep calm.

Because this puppet looks exactly like him.
