Chapter 342 Main Mission
Chapter 342 Main Mission
In the corner of the steps.
After the old housekeeper turned into a monster, the young master and young lady, who had instantly become listless, huddled together and showed a "loving and affectionate" relationship for the first time.
"……what to do……"
The young master's voice rang out. He had been digging his fingernails into the wall so hard that they had been flipped up. The blurry flesh and the flying fingernails looked like they were in excruciating pain.
"I don't want to die, I ......"
Miss:"……"
The young lady's pale face showed disgust. "Shut up!"
The young master glared at him fiercely, his eyes flashing with a malicious and cold light:
"What did you say? You're going to get married sooner or later—"
“If you say another word,” the young lady interrupted her brother, who was still a fool even in death, impatiently and bluntly.
"I'll just throw you out to the housekeeper."
"..."
The young master immediately fell silent.
But his eyes remained fixed on the young lady, and cracks began to appear in his pupils, the corners of his mouth, and even some intact skin on his face, revealing glimpses of bright red flesh amidst the splitting branches and leaves.
"Disgusting..."
The young lady silently withdrew her gaze, biting her nails as she began a new round of contemplation.
The butler will definitely not let them off... no one will let them off... this isn't the first time...
The young lady didn't even know how many times this had happened.
All she knows is that she is brutally murdered on her wedding day every time. Yes, she has more memories than the other NPCs, for reasons unknown.
Could it be because he used to have a good relationship with "Madam"?
The young lady couldn't understand it.
But now… she quickly glanced at the butler’s back, still entangled with the guests, and swallowed.
"We have to get out of here."
"We have to find a way to escape, brother."
The young lady didn't notice that the young master had begun to transform into a monster. When she subconsciously reached out to grab his arm, she was surprised to see his transformed face.
"Depend on."
The young lady looked at the young master's distorted face, which was no longer recognizable as human, with disgust, and covered her nose as she backed away step by step.
She knew it! She knew everyone in this villa was an idiot! Everyone was! Only she! Only she could remember those things clearly. She shouldn't have died! She absolutely shouldn't have died!
At this moment, the young lady subconsciously ignored the fact that she had actually died many times before.
Whether he was killed after the wedding... or killed by the guests through some means.
No, I won't, I definitely won't die!
The young lady's mind was filled with the word "living." She stopped looking at her "brother," who was gradually transforming into a monster, and without turning her head, she stumbled and staggered into the villa amidst the chaos.
"It seems that Miss has given up on her brother."
Yu Shijiu's gaze hadn't left her since the beginning.
He witnessed the young lady stumble and fall in her panic, and he also saw—behind her, those few nimble, swaying rose branches covered with dense thorns.
"Is there a problem, Miss?"
He Lingling's mind was in complete chaos at this moment. The large amount of information she had received in such a short time had caused her brain to malfunction.
"How did you get it?"
"No need to look."
Yu Shijiu stuffed a potato chip into his mouth as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and mumbled:
"Don't you think the young lady's behavior was off from the beginning?"
Yu Shijiu said, "At first, she seemed to be looking at us from the second floor, but in reality, she wasn't looking at us."
"Tell me, how could a woman who was raised in luxury and pampered upbringing possibly look at an ordinary door with that kind of gaze?"
He Lingling also realized something and felt a chill run down her spine: "You mean, she's looking outside the yard?"
"right."
Yu Shijiu nodded with a smile, "I've been wondering ever since then, is it possible that Miss can't leave this villa?"
Since the young lady can't get out, it means that no one else can get out either, right?
"The others included Mr. Xiao, the young master, and us invited 'guests,' as well as the butler, of course."
"Mr. Xiao has gone out."
He Lingling suppressed her heart palpitations and frowned, saying, "Mr. Xiao went out on the very first day—"
"Mr. Xiao doesn't count."
A male voice suddenly interrupted He Lingling's speech.
It was Lu Chusheng.
Lu Chusheng, who had already distributed the antidote pills, returned. He glanced at the boy beside him who had suddenly lowered his head to eat potato chips, and pursed his lips, saying:
"Mr. Xiao's departure is a part of the plot; it's just background information."
The implication is that Mr. Xiao's initial behavior of going out didn't mean anything.
He Lingling bit her lip: "Then is our main mission to escape the villa?"
Before Yu and Lu could respond, the long-absent game notification sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
[Congratulations to players He Lingling, Yu Shijiu, and Lu Chusheng for triggering the main quest notification!]
The current main quest for the instance "Equivalent Invitation" is to escape the Xiao Family Villa—current escape progress is 10%.
Please keep trying to complete the game!
He Lingling: "..."
Lu Chusheng coldly raised his eyes.
Yu Shijiu stuffed another potato chip into his mouth, crunching it down as he ate and nodded.
"It seems that it really is true. My God, we've been here for three days and only triggered 10% of the progress. That's amazing."
This self-deprecating remark silenced both He Lingling and Lu Chusheng.
"Um," Xu Han, who had been resting with his eyes closed, silently raised his hand, "I think I might need to find a place to sleep for a while, is that okay?"
Weren't we just talking about He Lingling taking him somewhere to hide?! How did we suddenly start discussing the plot?!
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," He Lingling said, expressing some remorse.
I've forgotten about you.
Xu Han: "..."
He covered his face with tears streaming down his face: "It's me, it's me, I'm so unimportant."
He Lingling: "..."
She felt that she shouldn't pay any attention to Xu Han.
Yu Shijiu did show some concern for Xu Han, specifically by reluctantly taking out a potato chip and stuffing it into Xu Han's mouth.
Xu Han: "...smack smack".
Why wouldn't he eat when the food was practically in his mouth?! He's not stupid!
Xu Han didn't notice that Lu Chusheng, who was silently standing next to him, glanced at him several times.
Yu Shijiu silently counted the number of potato chips remaining in the bag, then said:
"You guys go upstairs and find a place to rest first, but I have a suggestion, would you like to hear it?"
While chewing on potato chips, Xu Han mumbled, "Say it, what can't I say?"
"I suggest you go to the lady's room to rest."
Yu Shijiu seemed oblivious to the fact that his words had caused He Lingling and Xu Han's eyes to widen, and continued:
“I suspect the poisoning was just an appetizer,” he said, gesturing with his chin towards the butler who was seemingly whispering something to the players.
"This is just my personal suggestion; whether you listen to it or not is up to you."
