Chapter 362 Nian Nian
To be honest, this scene is hardly a good one.
The player who had struggled to escape the villa nearly fainted when he saw the butler's head on the ground.
Fortunately, they realized that the butler could do nothing to them anymore, so they quickly ran to the villa gate and started pulling on the chains.
The clanging of the iron chains was particularly jarring in the courtyard.
The players crowded around the gate pulled hard on the iron chain one after another, their hands covered with the rust residue from the chain.
"Why is it so hard to earn money..."
Someone muttered and continued to exert force, their face flushed red.
"It'll be open soon, almost there."
"..."
The commotion brought A-Yuan to her senses, and she instinctively rushed toward the gate, but then stopped as if she had remembered something.
Two seconds later, A-Yuan gritted his teeth and prepared to turn around—
"Brother Yuan!"
Lan Ping's surprised voice came from behind, accompanied by Qi Weitao's continuous coughing. A Yuan quickly turned around and ran towards the direction of the sound.
"Lanping!"
A Yuan's heart instantly relaxed, but his gaze froze for a moment when he saw Qi Weitao beside him.
"Uncle Qi, this..."
A Yuan took over from Lan Ping, whose back was bent from being pressed down, and helped Qi Weitao up, his gaze lingering on the wound on the other's thigh.
"Let's go first, cough cough cough," Qi Weitao weakly grabbed A Yuan's arm, "I'm fine, this little injury won't kill me, let's hurry up and move forward."
A Yuan gritted his teeth and didn't say anything. Together with Lan Ping, he helped Qi Weitao run towards the gate.
The gate was covered with layers upon layers of chains, which were incredibly troublesome. The more anxious they were, the less they could untie them. The players had just survived a brush with death, and now they were sweating profusely and cursing as they tried to unlock the chains.
"Stop swearing! Hurry up!"
"If we keep cursing, we'll all die here!"
"Damn it! Is the butler out of his mind?! Why are the chains wrapped so many times?!"
"..."
Although the "Madam" has disappeared, the villa is clearly not going to hold up for long and will collapse soon. They will die anyway if they don't run out of the villa now.
The insults did calm the players who were pulling on the chains down a bit, and they continued to unlock the chains while suppressing their fear.
When Yu Shijiu and the other three walked out of the villa, the chains on the gate were finally unlocked down to the last layer.
The person unlocking the chain's eyes lit up, and they quickened their pace.
At the same time, they heard the sound of a wall collapsing behind them.
Lu Chusheng, carrying Yu Shijiu on his back, tightened his grip on her arm and quickened his pace instantly.
Xu Han was the same; he practically dragged He Lingling, whose eyesight was poor, forward, not caring about the corpses and other things he was stepping on.
He Lingling, who was being pulled and swayed from side to side: "..."
"Hurry up!"
wow-
The player who had finally unlocked the chains shouted and hurriedly opened the door, rushing out as the first to do so.
"Run! The villa is about to collapse!"
Behind them, the remaining players rushed forward, and A Yuan, caught in the middle, struggled to maintain his balance, clinging tightly to Qi Weitao's shoulder.
"Go!"
He blushed and looked at Lanping, who was being pushed to the front and kept turning around, and shouted.
Lanping looked at them worriedly, gritted her teeth, and ran forward without looking back.
As for Liu Yao and Wang Han, they ran faster than rabbits, almost the second in line to escape the villa.
Lu Chusheng and Yu Shijiu were the last to escape from the villa.
The former calculated the time as he left the villa, while the latter perched on his shoulder, waving a large pair of scissors around—Yu Shijiu was still quite careful to control his strength so that the scissors wouldn't touch Lu Chusheng.
"...They're all dead."
Yu Shijiu glanced back at the villa that had collapsed slowly after making a "rumble" sound, her gaze lingering lightly on the second floor for a moment.
Amidst the billowing dust, through the broken and collapsed villa, a figure could be vaguely seen walking down the corridor, carrying a human head with very long hair in her arms... It was Miss.
Beneath the young lady's feet was a cracked floor, and above her head was a ceiling that had collapsed into a square. Through the gaps in the ceiling, Yu Shijiu saw her lower her head slightly and open her mouth.
It seems like they're singing a song.
"..."
When the eerie yet cheerful humming began, the players who had already run out of the villa's perimeter felt a chill run down their spines.
What's going on?! Haven't they finished the game yet?!
【Ding】
[Congratulations to all players who have cleared the game dungeon "Equivalent Invitation"]
[There are currently 15 players still alive in the game instance.]
The sudden system notification tone eased the players' fear slightly, but soon, the humming sound coming from inside the villa grew louder and louder—
Phew——
The players looked up in confusion.
Yu Shijiu leaned on Lu Chusheng's shoulder, squinted, and looked through the dense foliage above at the birds that were startled and flying around in all directions.
"Captain Lu."
He called out to Lu Chusheng.
Do you remember the young lady's name?
Lu Chusheng didn't stop. He approached the players who were walking deeper into the woods and responded.
"remember."
"What's your name?"
"wave."
"Do you think it's possible that she considered running away?"
“…Maybe,” Lu Chusheng said softly, “but she couldn’t escape. She was timid and subconsciously became an accomplice.”
Yu Shijiu, leaning against his back, lowered his eyelids. "Ah, then there's nothing we can do."
The boy turned back again, gazing at the collapsed villa in the distance, and the image of the roses planted inside the villa flashed through his mind.
He doesn't quite understand the meaning of the words.
But we can probably guess some of it.
What was Mr. Xiao thinking when he was naming his daughter?
What was the lady thinking when she was abandoned by someone she considered a friend?
"wave."
The lady's gentle voice rang in Yu Shijiu's ears.
As the faint sunlight filtered through the trees in the early morning, Yu Shijiu ignored the pain in her limbs and slowly closed her eyes.
"Did Niao Niao and her brother have another fight?"
That was the first thing the lady said.
The humming in my ear gradually turned into a high-pitched scream.
It sounded like the Lady's pitiful cries for help on the first night.
Player Yu Shijiu has earned a total of 5000 points: 3000 from main quests, 1000 from storyline completion, and 1000 from bonus points!
[Total points remaining for the current player]
Everything in this world is predetermined. Beneath the guise of goodwill and gentle invitations, there lies the sinister and greedy intention of the benefactors.
When you find yourself trapped in a situation where you risk your life for money, yet cannot escape, what would you do? Would you steal and alter your father's book to escape this hellhole... or would you find a scapegoat to take your place for the hard-won wealth...?
Your only friend died because of your own fear and greed. Guilt and remorse filled your heart, transforming into a grotesque and repulsive manifestation of human fear. Can you truly remain unmoved?
