On the other side, Zhang Man, He Lina and her two assistants hid in a simple hut on the racecourse.
He Lina's expression was a bit flustered, she cautiously poked her head out of the window to observe, and forced a smile: "Fortunately, I hid, it would be terrible if we were seen."
Zhang Man raised his eyebrows, and said calmly, "What were you hiding just now? It's just a bird flying over, so there's no need to react so much, right?"
He wears a pair of golden eyes and looks like a high-cold elite. When he raises his eyebrows to look at people, he has a somewhat condescending taste. When he speaks in this tone, it seems to be saying, "It's just a bird." , and it's worth your fuss." There was an air of contempt.
In this game world, he set himself up as a self-righteous, dog-like gentle beast. Although it is easy to attract hatred, it is also easy for people to despise unconsciously and will not attract people's guard.
His character design is quite successful. For example, now, the eyes of the two men behind He Lina already revealed the meaning of "I'm afraid you are not mentally retarded". Although He Lina hid it well, there was also a bit of contempt in her eyes. Don't say that, she is just a little woman, she is relatively timid, of course she is not as calm as you."
He Lina has seen a lot of men with such high self-esteem, and knows that the way to deal with them is to praise them, praise them more, and show them admiration, and then let them follow your pace.
"But Mr. Yang doesn't want to know why I'm so scared?" She brushed her hair and laughed.
"Since you want to say it, then I'll just listen to it." Zhang Man crossed his arms, with a benevolent tone.
He Lina didn't care: "I'm afraid of crows because in that legend, crows are the guides of monsters. If you are found by crows, the monsters will know your location, and he will quickly chase us and kill us. "
"Monster? You mean the 'Fire Man' in the banquet hall?" Although Zhang Man said so, he didn't think so in his heart.
There is no other reason. Although the "burning man" in the banquet hall looks scary, it is not very powerful. If it is said that it is a behind-the-scenes boss in a world with a middle-level danger level, Zhang Man does not believe it.
"Of course not." He Lina shook her head disapprovingly, "The real monster is much stronger than him. If we are really targeted by him, we won't even have a chance to escape."
"Miss He seems to know a lot of unknown information, have you been to the manor before?" Zhang Man asked sharply.
"Of course not!" He Lina's face changed instantly. This was the first time she lost control of her emotions since we met, but she was worthy of being a star, so she immediately adjusted her emotions and said with a smile, "I mean, of course not. These news , It was all told by a friend of mine. Her mother worked as a maid in the manor when there was no accident in the manor in the early years. "
I'm afraid it's another "My friend is me" series, right
Looking at her performance, anyone could tell something was wrong. Zhang Man silently put a label on her as if she had been to the manor.
"Then according to what you said, since the manor is so dangerous, why did you come to the birthday party? You obviously don't have to come." He questioned again.
"It's not that simple." He Lina smiled wryly, "If I could, I wouldn't want to come. But no, if I receive the invitation letter, I must come."
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Man glanced at the golden invitation letter marked "Do not drop" calmly. From the moment he got it, he hadn't looked at it seriously.
Special Item: Invitation Letter from Oriel Manor (cannot be dropped)
"Mr.____ is cordially invited to the banquet held on July 15th to celebrate the twenty-fifth birthday of the owner of Oriel Manor.
Sincerely, all the staff of Olier on June 30
Remarks: We have prepared a surprise for you in the garden, please come and have a look.
Under his gaze, the blank on the invitation was filled by the word "Yang Ke".
The invitation letter approved this false name, and he will always exist in this capacity in the game world.
Zhang Manzai read the invitation letter carefully, paying attention to every detail. At the end, he turned his attention to the note at the bottom dd "A surprise was prepared in the garden"
Zhang Man silently marked the garden with a big cross in his mind.
Most of the prompts in the game will not be for no reason, and sometimes paying more attention to the details can save yourself from disaster. The invitation from the opposing faction says there's a surprise in the garden? The real meaning is that we are going to kill you in the garden, right
"You should have received that invitation letter too, right? The invitation letter for the birthday party?" He Lina's voice brought him back to reality, and Zhang Man nodded silently.
He Lina continued: "I haven't been able to get a good night's sleep since I received this invitation letter. I was going to run far away and pretend I didn't receive it. But no matter how far I escaped on the first day I always see it appearing on my bedside table when I wake up. And as the date of the banquet approaches day by day, my name on it gradually changes from black to blood-like red dd I know it is They are warning me, so I dare not not come."
"I see. May I have a look at Miss He's invitation letter?" Zhang Man wanted to see the difference between his invitation letter and He Lina's invitation letter.
"This... To tell you the truth, I actually lost my invitation letter when I was in the banquet hall." He Lina sighed, "The scene was so chaotic at that time. If I didn't pay attention, it would have found it. It's not here."
lie.
Although we only knew each other for such a short period of time, Zhang Man could tell from her words and deeds that she was a woman with a strong desire for control, and wanted to take everything into his own hands. Such a person will lose life-threatening things because of carelessness
how can that be possible
Zhang Man was about to say something, but his nose felt itchy.
"Ah-choo dd!" After several sneezes, Zhang Man couldn't help touching his arm, wondering why he felt a chill? Could it be that someone is cursing him
The suspected candidate was either none, or the newcomer who disappeared for no reason and made him unable to find him everywhere.
But this time he guessed wrong. It wasn't the newcomer who was still kept in the dark that made him feel cold, but the "fake boyfriend" who took his place.
"What's wrong with you? Could it be that you are sick?" Seeing this, He Lina approached him with concern, reaching out to touch his forehead.
Zhang Man hurriedly took a few steps back, avoiding her outstretched hand. There happened to be a simple wooden table behind where he was standing. As soon as he stepped back, the wooden table was bumped, and with a "bang", the drawer of the wooden table fell from above.
No one has lived in this house for a long time. The drawer fell to the floor, raising a thick layer of dust. He Lina coughed a few times and retreated.
Zhang Man noticed a few yellowed papers in the fallen drawer with sharp eyes. He knelt down and put them into his game package calmly.
"What's the matter? Is there anything on the ground?" He Lina asked very keenly.
"It's nothing, just now my keychain fell on the floor." He spread his hands and showed her the keychain of My Little Pony in his hand.
"...Mr. Yang really has a childlike innocence." He Lina twitched the corner of her mouth and praised insincerely.
"Thank you." Zhang Man nodded reservedly, and while He Lina was choking on him and didn't want to talk to him for a while, he flipped through the paper he picked up in his mind.
May 15, 1979, cloudy
Today is my first day working in the manor. The owner of the manor arranged for me to work on the horse farm and take care of the horses. I love these carefree and lovely creatures, and they will instantly brighten my mood.
May 23, 1979, sunny
The manor owner's daughter came to the racecourse today. She wore a lotus-colored skirt and greeted me with a smile. She said her name was Kansha, which was so beautiful... Until before going to bed, her beautiful figure was still lingering in my mind.
On August 3, 1979, Yin
I took Salsa and fled the manor, I don't regret this decision, I want to defend our love.
July 15, 1980, sunny
Salsa gave birth to the fruit of our love. We named him "Chen". "Chen" represents treasure, and this child is our cherished treasure.
July 15, 1985, heavy rain
The manor has found our hiding place, and he's coming for us!
The handwriting on the last piece is particularly scribbled, and the author's restlessness and anxiety can be clearly seen. Zhang Man put down the paper, thoughtful.
It is obvious that these papers are part of the diary, and the dates are not continuous. There are four characters in total—the manor owner who beats mandarin ducks, the male protagonist of the love story, the groom, the heroine of the love story, Kansha, and the crystallization of love, Chen.
Zhang Man didn't know what the child's last name was, so he could only use x instead.
