Falling In Love in an Escape Game

Chapter 5: Vermin

Views:

Finally, you don't have to be blind!

However, before the surprise lasted for a second, Xia Nuo discovered that the points needed to exchange for vision were frighteningly high.

The game panel is clearly marked:

Vision: 250 points/minute

Field of view (static): 1 point/minute

Vision (dynamic): 5 points/minute

Looking at the pitifully few points in his hand, Xia Nuo fell into deep thought.

With his current net worth, he can only exchange for one minute of vision. After a short period of light, what he had to face was an empty pocket.

This was the first time Xia Nuo experienced the feeling of wanting something but not being able to afford it at all.

His family is well-off, and his parents are basically responsive to him except that they can't let him recover. No matter how expensive something is, as long as he likes it, he will buy it without blinking an eye. But at that time, Xia Nuo's interest came and went quickly, and those items that lost the favor of their owners often had only one end-dish in the warehouse to accumulate dust.

Looking back now, the previous self was really blessed and didn't know how to be blessed!

He looked at the very attractive eyesight exchange button that seemed to be shining with golden light, but he still reluctantly bought a minute of dynamic vision.

dd Then he found that it was still pitch black in front of his eyes, but it was so dark that he could roughly distinguish objects.

No wonder it's so cheap! Sure enough, you get what you pay for!

Even though he complained so much, Xia Nuo exchanged another half hour of dynamic vision.

No way, the situation forced him, he had had enough of being blind.

They returned along the same way, and the banquet hall was empty at this time, whether it was crows, guests or monsters, they all disappeared without a trace. Only the crumbling tables and smashed cups and plates indicate that there was a farce here.

After leaving the banquet hall, Kan Chen paused, turned his footsteps, and led Xia Nuo onto a winding path. The path was paved with red bricks and stones, and was so narrow that only two people could walk side by side. At this time, Kan Chen quietly moved over and pressed against the boy's side.

Shano was a little surprised. Because from the moment he finished speaking, the man seemed to distance himself from him intentionally or unintentionally. If he hadn't held his hand and showed him the way thoughtfully, Xia Nuo would almost have thought that he was going back on his promise to marry him. Take this thing with him.

But now, the man put on his solemn and polite mask again, and after he felt that he had covered up his gaffe just now, he asked, "What happened? You seemed...depressed just now?"

The man deliberated and chose a more appropriate adjective.

It was the first time for Kan Chen to know that people's expressions can be so rich. From just now, the expression on the boy's face has been constantly changing, from surprise to sadness, to unwillingness to regret, and then to grief and frustration. The cute little animal seemed to be bullied by someone, and its face was wrinkled into a ball.

However, he didn't think that anyone could bully the little animals under his care under his nose.

So he was really curious, what the hell happened

"Alas!" Xia Nuo sighed heavily, feeling from the bottom of his heart, "Because I suddenly discovered that I am really poor!"

poverty

The man looked him up and down, from his well-made handmade gown to the expensive watch accessories, the young man exudes an aura of money waiting to be slaughtered.

Moreover, most people don't express this kind of emotion while walking. They must first have the desire to spend money before lamenting their own poverty, right

Kan Chen didn't think there would be anything to arouse his desire to buy in this kind of place.

However, teenagers do often have many violations. From the first moment he saw the boy, he had already noticed it.

"Is there anything you want? I know where the treasure room of the manor is, and there are quite a lot of collections there." Kan Chen gently and tentatively threw out a bait, like a In the distance, holding a cat teaser stick in front of the cat's eyes, wanting to see its unscrupulous owner flying over.

Many people risked their lives to come to this haunted manor before, just to find the treasure of the manor owner. However, those thieves were all killed by him because they were too greedy, and became victims one after another in the bloody legend of the manor.

But if it is the boy in front of him, let him think about it... Is there any treasure suitable for a boy in his treasure room.

Hmm... that necklace called "True Heart", the pink diamonds on it must have matched his beautiful collarbone, that emerald ring must have looked good on the teenager's finger, and those pair of sapphire cufflinks , it goes well with this dress...

He didn't realize that his current behavior was like a little girl who just got her beloved pet and wanted to dress it up with great interest.

And Xia Nuo, who was the object of his imagination, couldn't help shivering. He tightened his arms around himself and looked blankly at the man beside him. After exchanging his vision, he could already see the man's tall silhouette, but he couldn't see the man's expression. He could only feel a mysterious and pleasant aura emanating from the man.

"Mr. Kan Chen, do you feel like you're getting cold?"

Is it because they are outside now

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind happened to blow by, and the fragrance of roses that seemed to be blooming in the wind was permeated.

His words interrupted Kan Chen's more and more free thoughts. He came back to his senses, coughed dryly, and replied nonchalantly: "No, do you feel cold?" He took off his coat and put it on Xia Nuo body.

"It's strange... I don't feel cold anymore." Xia Nuo shook his head and grabbed the large coat on his shoulders, "Thank you for the coat. But Mr. Kan Chen, have you smelled the fragrance of roses?"

The tip of his nose twitched, trying to find the source of the rose fragrance.

In the real world, because of his pollen allergy, his parents never put flowers in front of his eyes. Even if he wants to see flowers, he can only look at them outside the greenhouse through the thick glass wall.

Now that he smelled this fragrance, he suddenly remembered that he is in the game world now, and he doesn't have any hay fever allergies, so he can touch those flowers whenever he wants!

At this time, he was very glad that he came to participate in the escape game. Not only can you experience things that you have never experienced before, but you can also meet very reliable friends dd Yes, now in Xia Nuo's heart, Kan Chen can already be called an important friend. In terms of importance, it only ranks Behind parents and brother.

Kan Chen didn't know that he had actually become a "friend" in the little pet's heart, so he stopped in his tracks: "This is just an abandoned garden, and there are no roses planted, but..."

He seemed to think of something, and didn't continue talking.

Xia Nuo looked around, and could only see many shadowy, dark shadows. It can only be vaguely distinguished that there are many plants. As for the types of plants, it is not clear.

There was a tall tree beside him, with long branches stretched out, and a vague black shadow stopped on it.

"Ah dd, ah dd" the black shadow let out a rough cry, and it was only then that Xia Nuo realized that it was a bird.

The bird's call was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. It was Kan Chen who responded after the bird called, "Okay, I see."

"Can Mr. Kan Chen understand what it says? What did it say?" Xia Nuo asked curiously.

He suddenly felt that being able to communicate with animals was really a very useful skill. But looking at his current poor net worth, I don't know how long it will take to exchange for such an expensive talent.

Before he had time to be depressed, a cool hand was placed on his head, and he stroked his hair affectionately: "It's saying that the vermin in the manor is wreaking havoc."

Xia Nuo felt a sense of comfort from his movements. The man's strength was very gentle, reminding him of his brother who also liked to touch his head, but compared with his brother, the man's movements seemed much less familiar, and he was always used to The top of the hair has been touched to the back of the neck, and it will be rubbed there a few times intentionally or unintentionally.

The back of the neck is Xia Nuo's sensitive zone. Once the man touches it, he dares not move like a rabbit whose vitals are pinched.

"Veminent beast?" In order to divert the man's attention and stop touching him, he questioned this unfamiliar word.

Kan Chen showed a warm smile, and explained: "It's just a group of dark beasts. They will destroy plants, pollute the spring water, scare away the horses... and cause damage to the manor. My task is to clean them up. .”

Xia Nuo couldn't help trembling, because of the coldness and killing intent revealed in his words.

The man saw his fear and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, you are different from them. You are pure white, very easy to distinguish, I will not mistake you."

Zhang Man didn't know that he had become what others called a "venomous beast". Not long after he entered the racecourse, another group of people came here.

As soon as the two sides met each other, they were both taken aback for a moment, and then began to look at each other calmly.

"He Lina." The woman who was the leader of the three stretched out her hand to him first, "These are my two assistants, Liu Cheng and Xu Kai." She introduced the two men who were staring at him guardedly behind her.

Although they were assistants, the two men were tall and tall, and you could see the bulging muscles under the suits. They were more like bodyguards than assistants.

"My name is Yang Ke." Zhang Man made up a name casually, but didn't shake the woman's hand.

Judging from his past experience, this woman doesn't look like an ordinary character, so he naturally wouldn't rashly get in touch with her.

He Lina chuckled: "Don't be so defensive, you don't know me, do you?"

She was very beautiful, with a charming smile: "Am I already out of date?"

Zhang Man easily guessed her identity: a popular celebrity who seemed very confident in her charm.

However, what she met was a game player. Zhang Man couldn't possibly be fascinated by an NPC. He just smiled: "I'm sorry, Ms. He, I don't usually follow stars."

"That's it." He Lina didn't look embarrassed at all, "Meeting here is also a kind of fate. Mr. Yang knows me better, maybe he will like me."

"Here?" Zhang Man looked around and shrugged, the meaning of which was self-evident.

At this time, the night had already fallen, and under the veil of the dark sky, the empty racecourse looked silent and gloomy.

"The environment here is indeed not very good." He Lina was not annoyed by being refuted many times, she said to herself, "Have Mr. Yang heard the rumors that this manor is haunted? It is said that the manor has experienced three owners, each They all died unexpectedly, and over time, there are rumors that there is an evil spirit living in this manor, which regards the manor as its own property and does not allow anyone to enter. Everyone who enters the manor will be killed by it in the end. "

"Really? That sounds interesting, but I'm an atheist. Evil spirits or something sounds too unreal."

Zhang Man pretended not to care, but in fact, he was very interested in the rumors He Lina said. Because so far, he has received too little information about the game. Apart from the name "Black Crow Manor" and the opening plot, he knew almost nothing.

But he knew that the more he dismissed it, the more this woman would tell him more in order to gain his trust.

He guessed right, the woman opened her mouth, wanting to say something more. But all of a sudden, she seemed to see something extremely terrifying: "Hurry up and hide!"

At this moment, an inconspicuous black shadow flapped its wings and flew across the sky.

"I found it." The man narrowed his eyes, as if recalling some not-so-good memories, "We actually got together. I have to say, groups of vermin are really dangerous."
