"...I already have a fiancé."

"what?"

Surprised, Marta didn't even align the calibration strips that jumped out of the cipher machine, her hand shook, and the electricity leaked.

The dazzling electric light hit her hand all of a sudden, she didn't care about other things, she pulled me up and ran away.

We ran all the way into the ruins and found a hidden corner before we breathed a sigh of relief.

After looking around for a while but not seeing the supervisor coming, Marta smiled awkwardly: "I made a fuss, I was just a little surprised."

I smiled indifferently: "It's nothing, Marta."

"I'm in a family marriage... I haven't met him before. It's just a marriage contract. It's impossible to have an affair with other men, so please don't make jokes like Mr. Qianfeng in the future."

Marta focused on my previous sentence, and was a little surprised: "Haven't you even seen a photo?"

I tried my best to keep myself calm: "The Yeger family is no different than those families that have been passed down for a long time, but only from my grandfather's generation. My grandfather has made great contributions to the royal family, so he was granted the title of viscount as an exception. At that time... Grandfather was once highly regarded by the royal family, so he had the idea of ​​​​marrying with a big family, but he had no other sons, and my father only had me as a daughter, so this marriage contract finally fell on me..."

My voice gradually lowered: "Father didn't have any big ambitions, and the Yeager family gradually moved away from the center of power after grandfather passed away. Originally, when my father went to London, he wanted to completely settle this matter, but he didn't want the ship to have an accident. ..." At this point, my eye circles turned red, and I turned away and rubbed my face: "This marriage contract is said to be my arrogance... and I am here now, and the future is unknown, so it's boring to mention it Yes, so I didn't tell you."

Marta was keenly aware of my emotions, and suddenly panicked: "I'm sorry, Beth Fenley, I shouldn't have mentioned this, it reminded you of something sad."

I put down my hands and forced a smile: "It's okay...I've been used to it for so many years."

Marta looked at the gray sky with some emotion: "I was about to get married before I came to the manor."

I couldn't help looking at Marta: "Then you..."

"he died."

This time I was silent, and Marta said calmly: "It was a plane crash... At first I was so sad that I wanted to die, but after thinking about it, I still have dreams."

She looked up at me with firm eyes: "I want to have my own plane, I still... want to fly."

"That's why you're here?" I asked softly.

"Yes." Marta said: "I said to myself, I will definitely get the bonus and escape. As long as I think of the goal in my heart, I feel full of courage and motivation."

"It will surely succeed."

Looking at each other, we all saw the firmness in each other's eyes.

It must be possible to escape, it must be possible.

We went back to decipher the cipher machine just now, and someone was caught again.

It's Mr. Forward.

With the prompt of the red carnival chair appearing in the field of vision, Marta and I immediately figured out who it was...Because the magician sat on the carnival chair for too long before, if he got on the chair again this time, he would definitely It flew directly into the sky, but the person who was arrested did not.There were four survivors in one round, and I was with Marta again, so naturally only William was left.

I looked at the prompt, and there are still two cipher machines... No, another cipher machine lights up, and there is only the last one left.

Marta was out of guns.

The only bullet was spent saving the Magician, and now there is no weapon left to hinder the Overseer.

Marta was silent for a while: "I don't know where Servi is... I'll go to the box and see if I can find another gun."

Some props can be found randomly from the red tin boxes in the game field.

However, we all know in our hearts that the chance of getting a gun out of it is very small.

Marta trotted out.

I silently watched her run away, and in the end I could only do what I was best at——I worked hard and quickly started to decipher the last cipher machine.Hurry up and finish deciphering, go to open the door, Marta and the forward have the hope of escape.

Within minutes, however, the striker was saved.

Marta probably hasn't arrived in such a short time, so... is it a magician?

I just thought of this, and suddenly the crisis warning was turned to the maximum, and a scarlet beam suddenly landed next to the cipher machine!

I subconsciously let go, turned around and ran.The Ripper hummed happily from behind: "I found you~"

He quickly caught up and said casually: "No one will bother us now, now is the time for me and Miss to be alone...Why did Miss run away?"

I dodged the fogblade swinging towards me, and hurriedly dodged into the ruins: "You are too enthusiastic, sir."

Getting closer and closer.

The low and pleasant voice carried a cold smile: "If you are not enthusiastic, I will be accused of poor hospitality. How can you be less enthusiastic when you are dating a beautiful lady?"

I climbed over the window and walked around, feeling heavy in my heart... The last cipher machine has not been broken, and no one can run out of the gate.

I actually guessed that the magician would save the striker, but I couldn't use this reason to stop Marta.As a result, Marta was lured away and couldn't come back for a while... No one would know that the supervisor was teleported to me.Everyone else was far away, and I was just not good at walking ghosts, so I undoubtedly fell into a very dangerous situation all of a sudden.Thinking of this, I started to panic a little.

When people panic, they are easy to make mistakes. I was quickly hit by Jack, and I fell to the ground.

There was a burning pain in my back, and I couldn't help saying: "Can't you be gentle, sir."

"I'm already quite gentle, but who can control the enthusiasm in my heart when facing a beautiful young lady?" He hummed the song "Four Little Swans" briskly, and tied me to the chair: "It seems that you want to I lost, little Beth Fenley~"

Because the last cipher machine has been lit.

I noticed this, but my face remained calm: "Aren't you going to hurry up and finish the work? It will be too late if you procrastinate."

But the regulator still stood in front of my carnival chair, as if thinking that I was doomed: "No rush."

"Now you can tell me what's going on."

"Who let you go? Xie Bi'an? Fan Wujiu? Or... Joseph?"

I lowered my eyes, but my heart skipped a beat when I heard that name.

He's let me go a few times already... No Overseer will let go of his prey, only him.

Seeing that I was silent, Jack didn't rush, but looked at me with interest.

He didn't seem to care much about winning or losing this game, but cared about this trivial little bet, just because what I revealed to him aroused his interest.

I raised my head and smiled at him: "The game is not over yet, why are you so anxious?"

He looked at me, and saw a red figure gradually approaching from a distance: "Is this what you rely on?"

He smiled disdainfully.

Mr. Qianfeng ran ten meters away from us, looked nervously at me who was tied to the carnival chair: "Miss Beth Fenley, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, get out of here!" I said to him.

"I will definitely save you, Miss Beth Fenley!" He didn't listen at all, and glared at Jack angrily: "Catch me if you have the ability!" Then he gave him a middle finger.

Such rude behavior obviously angered the self-proclaimed gentleman Ripper. He stared at William coldly, and moved the finger blade with a cold light in his hand: "As you wish, sad little mouse..." With one claw past.

William fled immediately, but he didn't run away, and kept making provocative actions to the supervisor.Jack lost his patience and simply stepped forward to finish him off.

At this time, Marta suddenly rushed out from the side, tore off the thorns that bound me, pulled me up and ran!

Marta and I ran to the gate desperately, but the supervisor behind us quickly left William behind and caught up:

"Is this what you rely on? Do you think they can save you?" He said angrily.

A fogblade blocks our way.

Marta and I couldn't help but pause for a moment. Jack caught up with me in two or three steps, and raised his steel claws high at me. Marta pushed me away suddenly: "Run!"

I screamed, "Marta—"

"Oh!"

Seeing that the sharp finger blade was about to fall hard on Marta's body, an unexpected figure rushed over from behind at an extremely fast speed, hitting the Ripper staggering, and Marta took the opportunity to escape from the guards. escaped from the attack.

"Let's go!" William yelled at us, and was immediately knocked to the ground by the supervisor.

Before I could react from the ups and downs, Marta rushed over and pulled me up and ran straight to the gate——

Jack chased after him again.

I have already seen the gate, but there is no obstruction along the way. It is impossible for a survivor on flat ground to outrun the supervisor.When we were about ten steps away from the gate, we were overtaken again.

"careful!"

When the attack came, Marta pushed me away again, my heart was clenched, and when I turned around, the regulator's long finger blade just pierced Marta's body.

I took a step backwards.

"Run!"

The sharp finger blade penetrated Marta's body, but the scene suddenly disappeared from our eyes in the next second... Someone grabbed my hand again and led me into the gate in one breath. I came back to my senses, Marta, who had just encountered an accident in front of her eyes, came back into view intact.

I was still in shock, so I jumped over to confirm that it was really Marta, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.

"What exactly is going on……?"

Marta patted me reassuringly: "Before I went to rescue William, I found a baseball in the box... William just ran out of balls. When you were caught, we gave the ball to William when we were about to rescue you, and I borrowed it." Mr. Roy’s magic wand. Did you scare you just now? It’s just an afterimage. Speaking of it, it’s thanks to Servi who was willing to lend me the magic wand.” She said, giving the magic wand in her hand to I took a look and there were cracks on it.

"The last chance to use it was also used up." Marta said regretfully.

In other words, no one can go back to save Mr. William.

He could have run away, but he was eliminated because he rushed back to save Marta and me, which made Marta and I feel very guilty.We returned to the manor in silence. The magician who returned earlier was waiting in the lobby. Marta thanked him by returning the magic wand. He just said "you're welcome" and asked, "Where's the pioneer? "

I said guiltily: "...Mr. William failed to escape in order to save me."

He glanced at me and said politely: "It's a good thing to escape." Then he went upstairs, and I heard him curse in a low voice: "...What a fool."

Marta frowned disapprovingly, but said nothing in the name of saving our lives by lending us a magic wand.

I bow my head.

Yes, what an idiot.
