"I wonder if you know Vivian."
Lin You didn't show his body. No matter how much the outside world said that the relationship between father and son was not good, in fact it was indeed not good. But as long as he had not personally come into contact with it, Lin You would not define it casually.
Vivian
When he heard the familiar name, Oliver was stunned. He knew it, of course he did. But they are not familiar with it. The girl named Vivian seems to be able to frequent this mansion because she can appease her crazy mother, and she seems to be aware that she is in this portrait. Every time she comes over, she will look at herself meaningfully. One glance, but that was all. Oliver only learned Vivian's name from other people.
"She and I are not familiar with each other." So, don't try to get close to her. The hidden meaning in Oliver's words was very clear. He was very defensive towards Lin You, a stranger he had never met in person.
"It seems that there are many people in this town who hate the priest as much as you do." Lin You continued, not caring about Oliver's lack of face and defensiveness. If it were her, she would do the same thing.
The battle above sounded very fierce and might not be over for a while. Therefore, Lin You thought that he did not need to be anxious. You can also "bargain" with Oliver back and forth.
Oliver did not respond and pretended to be an ordinary portrait. He always felt that there was something wrong with the woman who was talking to him inexplicably. If he continued, he might fall into a trap.
"I want you to help me. I'm just like the people above." When the priest left angrily, Lin You didn't miss the joy in Master Oliver's eyes. "We are people who entered this town by mistake and we want to leave, so..."
"Why should I help you?" Oliver found it very interesting after hearing this. He asked, "Do you know what kind of life I am living here? Why should I help you escape?"
Because Oliver was imprisoned by the priest before the world was destroyed, Oliver's understanding of the outside world still stayed a long time ago. He didn't know that the world was broken and changed.
"I know, but what if I can make the priest unhappy?" Lin You continued to speak, but Oliver didn't respond. This condition didn't seem to satisfy him. So Lin You changed the topic. Continuing with the challenge, "What if I said, I could get you to leave this portrait?"
"I can help you, but I hope you can help me."
As soon as Lin You said these words, the young master's eyes immediately lit up. Although he was suppressed by his father, his wealthy family background since childhood prevented him from hiding too much from others. Although he tried his best to hide it, Lin You still felt his heartbeat. Even if those players could hold on for a while, it was hard to say this. Lin You didn't want to limit the time.
"The people above are my companions." Well, those who came together can be considered companions.
"They deliberately created opportunities for me to get close to you." It is also true that they deliberately approached you.
"But I'm afraid they won't be able to escape for too long." This gave the young master a sense of urgency.
"So think about it as soon as you can."
What Lin You said was impeccable. Suddenly, Oliver fell silent. He has been locked up for too long and really wants to leave this hellish place. But he would never be able to do it on his own. So what can be done? Do you want to take a gamble
"Are you telling the truth? Then I want you to let me out first." No matter whether it was a lie or not, the young master decided to give it a try.
Lin You smiled, she didn't expect this young master to be so naive.
"You have to know that we are not just looking for you as a trade partner. If you run away and choose to help your father, what should we do?"
Let the guy out? Impossible, it’s not that Lin You thinks that people who are not from my race must have different hearts, but that it’s not worthwhile, not to mention that she doesn’t understand this young master. Not only was this young Master Oliver guarding against her, but she was also guarding against this strange NPC.
"You want to get the news first? Is this impossible?"
Obviously, because he was a stranger, the young master did not have enough trust in Lin You.
"That's it." Lin You can keenly sense the breath and emotions of intelligent creatures. She knows that the young master is in a very exciting mood right now, and she doesn't believe that the young master will give up this opportunity.
Because Lin You couldn't be seen, the young master didn't know if Lin You had left. He was a little panicked when he heard the voice in his ear suddenly disappeared and there was no reply for a long time.
He doesn't understand Lin You, so he doesn't trust Lin You. On the contrary, this young master knows his father too well. He knows the ending between their father and son. He will not bow his head, either his father Lock him up until his soul disappears completely, or he chooses to disappear completely. In short, his ending will not be very wonderful. This is something he absolutely doesn't want to see.
No, he doesn't want to die!
He hasn't seen that guy's retribution yet, he doesn't want to die! Then, this unknown stranger might be his only chance!
"Are you still there?"
"Come back quickly! I order you!"
Obviously, this young master's psychology is not very good. Lin You waited quietly on the side. When the time was almost up, before she spoke, an ordinary bone dagger cut open the frame of the picture. Because it was cut against the frame on the other side, there was nothing wrong with the young master on this side. Lin You had just asked teacher Qi An for advice on how to use the knife. The two of them could have a conscious conversation in their minds.
The moment the bone dagger struck, the young master felt a chill in his heart, thinking that he was going to be doomed. Although the bone dagger looked nothing special, at that moment he felt very scared, very, very scared. If he got a little bit of it, he would be stunned, he was sure.
However, after the blow was over, there was no feeling of disorientation, but the soul slowly felt relaxed.
\"I, I am... ... \"
Before Oliver could continue, Lin You's voice continued to sound.
"Now you can get out on your own." Lin You said, "But before you come out, I don't need to ask you what you should do. If you don't behave honestly, I will seal the painting again with paint!"
Oliver, who originally thought he could negotiate terms with Lin You, became completely honest after seeing Lin You's tricks. He still wanted to keep this remnant of his soul to avenge his father, but he couldn't let it be destroyed casually in the hands of unknown people. He and Lin You have no grievances or grudges, and their goals are not the same. It can be said that they have no grudges. It's better to just part ways if each gets what he wants.
"I only know that for a while the man kept himself in the study. Then he went to live in the attic for a while. I don't know the rest."
This was the news that the lady inadvertently said when she called her son who was studying abroad to care about his life. Oliver remembered it at the time, but didn't take it seriously. He just thought it was his father who had encountered something that made him feel depressed. Now that he stays in the painting and can't do anything all year round, does he have a lot of time to constantly recall the past? This reminds me of the things my mother said back then. To say when something was wrong with my father, it should have started from that time.
In the past, although he was a feudal patriarch, he was not so insane and inhumane.
Lin You nodded, and after learning the news he needed, he left simply. Let the young master arch in the portrait and prepare to escape.
Because Lin You conducted appraisals throughout the process, Lin You found out why she was so wary of this young master Oliver? Lack of familiarity was on the one hand, and on the other hand, this young master Oliver was a black man in Lin You's vision. A black dumpling, the three members of their family all have this kind of black dumpling, which is not a good thing at first glance.
Therefore, for the time being, it was better to use this method to delay the young master's coming out, and Lin You took the opportunity to go straight to the study. Lin You didn't know where the study was, so now she had to thank Vivian for the simple map she drew for Lin You yesterday. It was simple but practical.
At the end of the corridor on the second floor is the study, but unfortunately, those players and the boss are there.
To avoid, or not to avoid
Well, Lin You chose to avoid it. She went straight to the attic, ready to see what was there.
The mansion has three floors, and finding the stairs to the attic is not easy. Lin You wandered around the third floor in the dark. After spending more than thirty minutes, she finally found a staircase. There was a bookshelf in front of the staircase, and the light was dim, so she almost missed it.
To Lin You's surprise, there was a barrier at the entrance to the attic that was exactly the same as the entrance to the town outside. The barrier exuded a faint black light. Lin You gritted his teeth and realized that the battle downstairs was heating up. He picked up his bone dagger and struck it at once.
"Crackling"
Like the sound of a soap bubble being popped, the battle downstairs suddenly became silent.
The priest downstairs felt something was wrong, and his eyes suddenly widened, glaring with hatred at the surviving players in front of him.
"Making attacks in the east and attacking in the west? Haha, I want you to die!"
Although he said this, the priest's body walked upstairs very quickly. Don't touch the things in the attic!
The remaining players looked at each other in shock. They didn't expect the boss to let them go like this. It was a bit like living in a dream. Among these players who are still alive, Gao Ren is among them. The reason why he didn't join up with Lin You was because he was entangled by other players, and the key was that those players were very similar to his main mission. Therefore, he followed, but he never expected that he would not be able to get off the pirate ship!
