Chapter 72: Folding Castle (10)

Views:

The back of Gu Liang's head was pressed by Yang Ye's generous palm, and he was forced to lean on Yang Ye's shoulder at first.

Later, he simply leaned up like that, put his chin on Yang Ye's shoulder, and listened quietly to his speech.

"Gu Liang, I want to apologize to you. In the morning, I was the one who was impulsive. People say that it's in heat, but in ritual. I shouldn't have kissed you first. I should tell you my heart."

"Now, I've said everything I want to say, but don't feel pressured, don't rush to answer."

"Of course. No matter what answer you give me, I don't want to back down."

Gu Liang asked him softly: "You are playing a rascal. Are you relying on me?"

Gu Liang's voice came through his shoulder blades, and it was muffled in his ears. There was a little warm breath in it, and Yang Ye's ears felt a little itchy at that moment.

The palm of his hand placed behind Gu Liang's head moved down, clung to the position of his butterfly bone, hugged him hard, and immediately hugged him even tighter.

Yang Ye smiled in his ear and said, "Well, it's up to you. Unless you tell me that you really don't want to accept the intimacy between men, you will just feel sick. This kind of thing is born, then I no way."

"Come on, either you tell me that you hate me, you don't like me at all, and you get bored just looking at me."

"So... do you hate me?"

Gu Liang: "Of course I don't—"

Yang Ye: "You actually like me a little bit, don't you?"

Gu Liang didn't answer, and after a while, he just asked him: "Why is this?"

Yang Yedao: "There are so many idiots complaining about women in this world, it can be seen that there is no reason to talk about feelings."

"So, if you like it, you like it. It doesn't matter why."

Gu Liang didn't speak any more.

But what he couldn't deny was that Yang Ye's words tonight had given him too much.

He always felt that he grew up beside the mud, and everything around him was shrouded in darkness.

For a long time, he lived with other shady things.

He rots together with the microorganisms and germs around him, abandons himself together, and reports to the group to keep warm, deceiving himself and others.

He doesn't want to be with others, but he has to depend on them to live, because when there is no sunshine, they can bring him nourishment after all.

But this will not make him feel that living is a joyful and particularly worth looking forward to.

He is living.

Now there is a ray of light, this ray of light says that it will completely blow away these hazes, and it will always shine on itself.

Even, Guangli stretched out a hand, trying his best not to let him fall into the mud, but took him out of the mud and brought him to another world full of hope.

Gu Liang failed to respond to Yang Ye's confession for the time being.

But before he knew it, he raised a hand and placed it behind Yang Ye's back.

He didn't reach out to hug Yang Ye back, but he put his hand on the clothes behind Yang Ye, and then gently, carefully, and cherishingly... grabbed it.

Feeling this small movement, Yang Ye felt a warm current in his heart.

It's just that there is some sourness in the warm current, making his heart sore and aching.

——His Gu Liang must have suffered too much, so that in front of a person who loves him so much, when he himself wants to give a little response, he still seems so cautious and at a loss.

Yang Ye could only hug him tighter and pat his back lightly.

11 p.m.

Yang Ye and Gu Liang took a bath and prepared to rest.

Wearing a bathrobe, Gu Liang was stunned for a moment when he saw Yang Ye sitting on one side of the bed, leaving more than half of the bed empty.

Yang Ye patted the spare place on the bed, looked at him: "Come and sleep?"

Gu Liang: "..."

Seeing his reaction, Yang Ye smiled, and continued to tease him: "Don't worry, I won't mess around before eight palanquins marry you! How about I put a bowl of water in the middle?"

"Young poor." Gu Liang stepped forward and lay down, "If you dare to mess around, I will destroy you."

"Tsk, my house is so cold and fierce."

"Go to sleep."

Just as Gu Liang closed his eyes, the card vibrated.

Gu Liang reluctantly opened his eyes, picked up the card, and was a little shocked after reading the plot.

- This plot is too ridiculous.

This plot also entertained Yang Ye.

Originally, the two of them were lying down, but now they were sitting side by side on the bed, watching their own plots.

Putting down the card, Yang Ye raised his shoulder and touched Gu Liang. "The system asked me to kiss you."

"People didn't say it was so specific, so don't play it on your own."

Gu Liang picked up the pillow and got out of bed, and went to actor Ming's room.

No time for bats in the bathroom either.

Sitting on actor Ming's bed, Gu Liang took out the cards and read the plot again.

Earl William, after he had bitten Ming actor in the morning, could not forget him all day long.

At 11:30 that night, actor Ming fell asleep alone in his room, and Earl William came to his room like a ghost.

When he read this, Gu Liang couldn't help complaining about the script's words again.

It's just for sex, doing evil, gods and ghosts make mistakes, ghosts and gods didn't let you peep in the human room in the middle of the night.

After complaining, Gu Liang continued to look down.

The moonlight shines through the window, illuminating the actor's handsome face.

Earl William looked at him for a long time, but for some reason, he felt the urge to kiss him.

The moment he kissed actor Ming, actor Ming woke up and began to resist desperately.

After the vampire turns the person into a vampire, that person will become a lower-level vampire, living by the vampire that bit him.

Therefore, although he is unwilling both psychologically and physically, out of instinct, the actor will have a sense of dependence, admiration, and obedience to Earl William.

Low-level vampires are born to be suppressed by high-level vampires, and they are born to be loyal to high-level vampires.

So that night, although actor Ming had a fierce conflict with Earl William at first, he eventually surrendered to his kiss without knowing it.

Even at the end, he felt a little pleasure—a kind of contradictory, indescribable, but hard to defy the instinct of the body.

Ming actor hated Earl William.

But every time he looked into Earl William's eyes, he seemed unable to resist.

He hated, he hated himself, and even more hated Earl William who forced him.

Gu Liang leaned against the head of the bed, squinting at the card.

The moonlight outlines his profile indifferently, his whole face is expressionless and calm.

And at this moment, in his mind, he was complaining about every word in the script, as well as the nonsense plot itself.

This familiar bloody feeling really lived up to his previous evaluation.

But vaguely, he felt that the plot was not pure blood, but some kind of hint.

That's why he resisted and watched the plot carefully again.

At half past eleven.

Yang Ye came on time.

Gu Liang turned his head and raised his eyelids to look at him.

Yang Ye approached him. "Tsk, the intimacy scene is about to start, do you want to try it out?"

Gu Liang looked at him: "This kind of plot, the script has never asked for a real interpretation."

"Then do you want to be kissed by me?"

Yang Ye stepped forward, raised his chin, and then recited the lines of an ancient idol drama. "You are already mine, don't you have the awareness?"

This line was so embarrassing that Gu Liang got goosebumps.

Gu Liang stared at him and responded blankly. "I'm an actor. I want to go back to acting. Between acting, I'm going to sing to the fans. I want to live in the sun and enjoy the love of the fans. I'm different from people like you who hide in the dark castle, Just stay in the dark forever."

"You can't go back. After tonight, you only have two days left for transformation. Two days later, you will be completely like me. The only person who will not see the light at that time will be you."

"My dearest darling, you will never be in the sun again."

"Either, you will hide in this dark castle until you die, or you will drink human blood with me and have great power... At that time, you will be like me, not afraid of light."

According to the plot, the two will start an obsessive entanglement next.

But Yang Ye didn't do anything to Gu Liang, he just sat on the bed with him in a daze, waiting for the next step of the plot.

Naturally, the system did not judge them to be in violation of the rules, and it never made any mandatory requirements for this kind of scene.

But the strange thing is that, apart from a voluptuous scene of forced love, the next two people did not receive any new plot.

So much so that in the end both of them were sleepy, so they both lay down and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the plot came.

The plot is still in the style of forced love.

After Ming actor woke up, he thought of what happened last night and felt very painful.

Unwilling to be treated like that by a man, he was so ashamed and angry that he slammed his head against the wall when he woke up, but was stopped by the count.

"You can't die. I killed your mortal identity. You are now a vampire with an immortal body."

"Low-level vampires can be killed by high-level vampires."

"Therefore, unless I get tired of playing with you one day, you can die."

"You will live and die for me, and you will control your life for me."

"Finally, if one day I want to kill you, I will show mercy and let you die in my arms."

After hearing these words, actor Ming gritted his teeth and looked at him: "Get lost!"

Earl William said to him coldly: "Good boy, it is more important to recognize the status quo earlier than anything else."

Actor Ming: "You don't love me, can you let me go?"

Earl William: "You are wrong. Of course I love you. Kill your soul and possess your body forever... Isn't this love? Can't you feel the intensity and fragrance of this love? How beautiful it is?"

"Except for me, who in this world can grant you immortality, and who can have eternal entanglement with you?"

"Good boy, neither heaven nor earth can separate us."

Discussing with Earl William was fruitless, and he couldn't even ask for death. Ming actor became more and more disheartened.

He doesn't want breakfast, he doesn't want lunch.

Early in the morning, Earl William served him breakfast, but he overturned it all.

The count was also angry, and lingered with him for a while, and after noon, he brought him lunch again.

This time, the count didn't allow him to overturn the bowl and chopsticks, but grabbed his mouth and forced the liquid food into his mouth and nose.

And these liquid foods are specially prepared by the chef for celebrities who don't want to eat by themselves.

"You are not a full-fledged vampire yet, you need food. You have to eat even if you don't! Don't think you can starve to death, it's impossible!"

The actual situation outside the script was that what Yang Ye cooked for Gu Liang was sweet and sour pork ribs.

Gu Liang calmly read lines to Yang Ye, and then slowly ate all the ribs.

After playing a dog-blood drama for one night and one morning, after lunch, the two of them received a new plot.

- Earl William saw that the actor had been depressed and even shed tears, but finally couldn't bear it, and decided to take him to the piano room on the fourth floor to play the piano for him to ease his emotions.

After watching the plot and putting away the cards, Yang Ye and Gu Liang looked at each other, obviously their eyes were serious.

After all, yesterday's experience in the piano room is still fresh in people's memory.

So, when they came to the piano room this afternoon, Yang Ye stroked the keys of the piano, but did not press it down.

At this moment, in the piano room on the fourth floor, it's 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Based on the assumption that one hour is human and one hour is vampire, the actor who was bitten at 8 o'clock yesterday morning turned into a vampire at 9 o'clock, and between 2 o'clock and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he will temporarily be a human.

After the sharp teeth in the actor's mouth fell out, the count walked to the window and opened the heavy curtains for him.

The long-lost sunshine shines into the piano room, and the sunflowers on the wall are bathed in sunlight, as if they come alive.

Even the sunflowers on the carpet are so vivid they look real.

Earl William drew the curtains, sat back in front of the harpsichord, and began to play for Ming.

The sound of the piano gradually soothed the pain, uneasiness, and hatred in Actor Ming's heart.

The bright actor was bathed in the sun, watching Earl William playing the piano under the golden sun, a warm feeling gradually rose in his heart...

According to the plot, Gu Liang sat on the sofa like an actor.

Yang Ye sat in front of the harpsichord and didn't play the piano, but the sunlight shone in and enveloped his whole body. At that moment, it seemed that he really turned into an earl.

And myself, looking at the sunflowers in the room, actually had a kind of love from the bottom of his heart, as if he liked sunflowers from the bottom of his heart.

Now Yang Ye doesn't look like an earl, he's almost like Duke Dar.

And myself... who am I

Gu Liang's heart beat suddenly very fast. Some kind of abnormal and strong sense of unease made him stand up immediately.

"Gu Liang? What's the matter?" Yang Ye stood up and walked to him, holding his shoulder.

Gu Liang looked at him: "From last night to now, do you feel anything is wrong?"

"Of course." Yang Ye frowned, and said after a while, "What happened between us is very similar to the Duke and Ai Meili."

Gu Liangdao: "Not only are they very similar, they are exactly the same. This is not like what happened between the Earl and the famous actor, but more like what happened between the Duke and Emily. This is like history repeating itself."

At first, when Gu Liang received three side missions, he thought they were trap questions given by the system, and he might only be able to choose two of them to complete.

Later, he thought that this was set up by the script to let everyone hide their stories and make the main task more difficult to complete.

Now he was thinking, in fact, this side mission might as well be regarded as some kind of metaphor or hint.

So, this afternoon, Yang Ye didn't play the piano, and Gu Liang didn't listen to the music.

They found paper and pens and began to sort out the plot.

Gu Liang: "I was originally a human, but I was bitten by a vampire. There is a three-day transformation period, which is the same as Ai Meili."

"I like the sun, and I want to stand in the sun and receive cheers from fans. Ai Meili also likes the sun. This is also very similar."

"What's even more strange is that I was sitting in the piano room just now, looking at the sunflowers on the wall, and I was so yearning for it, as if I suddenly fell in love with sunflowers. Emily likes sunflowers."

Gu Liang listed the similarities between him and Ai Meili one by one, and said: "It's too similar. I am too similar to her. I feel that I am her reincarnation, not Ai's mother."

"As for you—" Gu Liang looked up at Yang Ye, then lowered his head to sort out the similarities between him and the Duke.

"You all send bats."

"You all fought against werewolves and came to the castle after you failed."

"You are not afraid of light."

"You all bit someone, fell in love with him, and kept him despite coercion."

Gu Liang finished writing about the similarities between Earl William and Duke Dahl, and then looked at Yang Ye: "Actually, I still have that point of view. This script kills the game, and the story of the script is dog blood, but I think it has basic logic. "

"Whether it is from the diary of the Duke or servant C, Earl William is a gentleman, and he likes Princess Rose. He is not crooked. He has no reason to fall in love with a man at first sight. Even if he fell in love with a man at first sight, He's a gentleman, you can't do that to him in one day."

Yang Ye thought for a while and said, "So I want to correct what you said just now. The story of the Earl and Ming actor is not exactly the same as the story of the Duke and Ai Meili."

Gu Liang realized what he meant and nodded. "agree."

Yang Ye sorted out the story of the Duke and Ai Meili with words, and recorded it with a pen.

"Three hundred years ago, the progress between Duke and Emily was relatively slow and logical."

"The men arrested a group of people for the Duke, including a girl named Emily. The Duke fell in love with her at first sight. But according to Su Lan, the Duke did not treat her well at first. From the servants, including Judging from servant A's diary, which is full of jealousy, the Duke treated her like a gentleman from the beginning."

"Until time passed, Emily tried countless times to escape from the castle, and the Duke's patience was exhausted. This finally turned her into a vampire, and it may have taken a while before he took possession of her."

"After that, those two people must have gone through a very tangled time. For example, how Emily wanted to kill herself, how she prevented the Duke from getting close to her, how the two argued... Their days, from morning to night, must be full of quarrels. Even if When doing the most intimate things, Ai Meili also desperately resisted—"

"It must have been a long period of time before Emily gave up her resistance gradually. For example, for the arrival of the Duke's night, she went from fierce resistance at the beginning to numb acceptance later."

"The last step is to go to the piano room. When the Duke plays the piano, she can sit on the sofa and listen quietly, which already shows that the relationship between the two has been relatively peaceful. This is when Emily experienced escape, suicide, and countless times of resistance. After no results, a compromise in desperation. Of course, this is a kind of superficial peace. In fact, Ai Meili is desperate in her heart."

Speaking of this, Yang Ye said again: "The story develops like this, which is reasonable. But the earl just met Ming actor for a day, and he gave him... cough, why did Ming actor feel forced to accept it in the end, and even felt happy? It’s illogical to write it like this. Not only that, but the actor Ming committed suicide and went on hunger strike in the morning, but in the afternoon he obediently came to listen to the Earl play the piano, which is very strange.”

After hearing Yang Ye finish speaking, Gu Liang nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. So my feeling is that Duke Dahl and Ai Meili have gone through the story for several months, maybe even half a year, while Earl and Actor Ming have gone through it in one day."

"It's not normal. Therefore, these plots between you and me, saying that history repeats itself, are not accurate. This is more like the condensation and projection of the story of the Duke and Emily."

The time is about to reach 3 o'clock.

The Ming actor is about to turn back into a vampire.

Yang Ye got up, and went to close the curtains according to the requirements of the plot.

After blocking the sun, he lit the torches on the wall.

At this time, the cards on Gu Liang's body shook.

Yang Ye came back now and sat across from Gu Liang, seeing his strange expression.

"What's wrong? What plot did you receive again?" Yang Ye asked him.

Gu Liang raised his eyebrows and said, "It says, after listening to you play the piano, I fell in love with you."

Gu Liang's dark eyes reflected the color of the fire.

Yang Ye stared into his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat when he heard what he said.

But Yang Ye quickly realized that Gu Liang was talking about the characters in the plot—after listening to a harpsichord piece, he looked at the sunflowers on the wall and the carpet, and stared at Earl William in front of him with a cruel heart With a jump, I suddenly felt that I fell in love with him, and fell in love with him irresistibly.

The actor Ming suddenly realized that perhaps, as Earl William said, they both have the immortality of vampires, and they are the most suitable couple in the world. There is no life or death between them, and they can be together forever.

After putting away the cards, Gu Liang thought of something, stood up, and looked at the murals on the wall.

Without the shining of the sun, they suddenly faded, and under the dim light of the torches, it gave people a feeling that they were about to wither as the sun went down.

Gu Liang walked slowly to a painting, stopped and looked up for a long time.

Yang Ye guessed what he was thinking, so he didn't bother him.

After a long time, Gu Liang said, "Yang Ye, I was thinking...these murals are not that simple."

Yang Ye asked him: "Do you think it has other uses besides helping people cross?"

Gu Liang thought for a while, and said, "Let me follow the story of the Oriental warlock."

"According to the steward's diary, the first time the oriental warlock met the Duke was on October 5. The steward's original words were, 'I don't know what he said to the duke. I'm next door', which actually means that the warlock may have introduced himself to the Duke at that time, saying that he was good at painting."

"Yes. In fact, the Duke himself should be a person who loves painting."

Yang Ye nodded, thinking of a very important point, and said, "The paintings in this castle are all made of oil painting materials, and they are realistic. Maybe after coming to the East, the Duke has always wanted to find someone to paint murals for the castle. , but he has never found a suitable painter. Most of the people here are good at abstract ink painting, and they are not the kind that the Duke wants."

"Well, what you said is very important."

Gu Liangdao, "In addition, the warlock must know English, right? Because he should have a private conversation with the duke. It is even possible that the book in the duke's room that taught him the method of time travel was written by the warlock in both Chinese and English."

Yang Ye: "Yes, it's possible. We haven't seen any clues about the Duke hiring an interpreter."

"Then let's continue to look at the timeline of the Eastern Warlock."

Gu Liangdao, "On October 8th, he spent three days painting the sunflowers in Emily's room, and then the roses in the princess' room. From October 13th, he painted the entire castle."

"Then, on November 7th, Emily died."

"The duke was cruel to other people, but he was really moved by Emily, so when he was sad, the oriental warlock proposed to him that the murals could allow him to travel back 300 years, and he did exactly what the warlock said. You Do you still remember the original words in that notebook?"

Yang Ye said to Gu Liang: "Remember. The meanings expressed in those words have three points. First, too many people died in the castle, and the resentment was too heavy. You can use the power of resentment; second, there are murals all over the castle, so you can collect them Resentment, the premise is that the Duke used the blood painting spell to melt blood into the mural; third, he deliberately mentioned that the location of the mural is particular and needs to be adjusted—"

"Yes, it's the third sentence, which seems very deliberate."

Gu Liang took Yang Ye's words and said, "He seems to be telling the Duke that when he started painting murals, he really painted murals purely. They didn't expect that Ai Meili would die, and they didn't expect that one day they would use murals to collect power , Realize crossing."

"I think now, maybe, he said this just to dispel the duke's suspicions."

"He is not a simple oriental warlock. He is proficient in English and can paint oil paintings. Before he came, he had inquired about the Duke's hobby of oil painting. Even the Duke was looking for someone who could paint murals for the castle, so he was ready I gave up everything, came to the castle, successfully recommended myself, and undertook the job of painting murals for the entire castle.”

"His coming to the castle was a carefully planned event."

"Ordinary utensils that can kill vampires can't help the Duke at all. There must be some special method to kill him. For example... the power of all the undead who died in this castle."

"The murals can indeed collect resentment, but this resentment is not used to help the Duke cross, it is used to kill him."

"I finally know the real reason why he killed Ai Meili, and the real meaning of the phrase 'Please vote for the person who stabbed Ai Meili's chest' on the interface when voting."

"Yang Ye, the reincarnation and 300-year journey are all a scam."

"Ai Meili's death is the most critical bait in the scam."

"The duke fell for it. He took the bait and took the bait."

"On the night of November 7th, the Duke integrated the blood curse into the mural, and what he got in exchange was not time travel, but a destruction."

"It is conceivable that the moment the magic circle was activated, everyone disappeared overnight. They didn't travel through time, but disappeared under the light of the mural."

"I just don't know if the Duke is really dead. Where did the oriental warlock go after that?"

Gu Liang looked away from the mural and looked at Yang Ye.

Under the dim light, the two looked at each other.

Gu Liang didn't know why, it seemed that he had entered the drama, and he felt a little sad in his heart. "I think... we may be in some kind of illusion created by the murals. So Yang Ye, you have never traveled here at all, and you have never met me."

"Even... now you are not Earl William, and I am not an actor."
