This is undoubtedly a powerful temptation.
Kou Dong's current situation is almost helpless, relying on him alone, trying to escape the surveillance of two NPCs and escape from the castle before the wedding is indeed not an easy task.
It's about the same difficulty as hell.
If there is a butler who is familiar with the situation in the castle to help, the action will undoubtedly be much more convenient. If someone helps to cover, the probability of success will be much higher.
The butler's hand holding the pocket watch became tighter and tighter, and a deeper smile appeared on his gentle face. His voice was so soft and soft, it was almost like whispering in his lover's ear: "How is it?"
With a slightly determined expression, he lightly squeezed the edge of the pocket watch, and a thin, sharp silver needle protruded from the gold pocket watch. The needle was glowing with an unusual coldness. The butler put his hands behind his back and looked straight at the person in front of him, waiting for an answer from him.
All he needs is a good word.
As long as a fluffy "yes" can keep this person here forever——
Kou Dong also looked at him, and after a while, the corner of his mouth curled up, "No."
The butler's smile froze.
There seemed to be some gloomyness on his handsome face, but it seemed he couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart.
"Why do you say that?" he said, "I am loyal to you and expect you to trust me...why don't you trust me?"
Kou Dong did not answer this question, but threw a new one at him unexpectedly, "What are you holding in your hand?"
The butler was startled, and subconsciously hid his hands behind his back. But after this action, he immediately noticed something was wrong, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Kou Dong stood opposite him, it was impossible to see what he was holding behind his back.
But this sentence actually deceived his mind.
The boy opposite was still standing, his pupils were black and bright, no matter how he looked at him, he looked innocent.
It's just that the words that came out of his mouth didn't match this face.
"Loyal?" He smiled softly, "Huh?"
"..."
The butler closed the gold pocket watch with a click.
He didn't show the haste of being exposed, but smiled deeper, and said softly: "You are more suitable for this place than I imagined."
Kou Dong frowned.
This sentence is not comfortable, but it seems to be saying that he should stay here.
Kou Dong was silent for a while, then suddenly asked the system: "Can I try a new game?"
New way to play
What new way to play
The game system didn't quite understand his words, and it took a long time to respond: [Players can explore by themselves.]
Kou Dong's heart was relieved, and then he blinked hard, and suddenly he choked up.
Game system: [… ?]
Butler: "...?"
They were all dazed, seeing that the person who was quite normal just now jumped up suddenly, running as fast as a rabbit, rushed downstairs and opened the door of the study.
Uncle NPC was sitting behind the desk with a calm face. Kou Dong rushed in front of him, no matter what he did, he began to burst into tears.
He choked up and said in a low voice, "My lord..."
Uncle frowned.
The boy knelt on the carpet, leaned his head over, and leaned gently on his knee. The demeanor is so soft and natural, as if it has been done for many years.
Through a layer of clothes, the NPC still felt the pain of the skin underneath being burned by those few tears.
He frowned even tighter, and said in a deep voice, "Call Godfather."
Only now did Kou Dong know the relationship between this body and his uncle NPC, what the hell, it's still his godson!
Is this game a little too exciting
He has unreasonable thoughts about his godson, no wonder he is reduced to marrying him with the little milk dog, otherwise it will not be justified in name...
He didn't show it on his face, he changed his name and yelled obediently, his eye circles were bright red, as if beads would fall down in the next second.
The godfather held his face up in his hands, and wiped his eyes with his fingertips. That hand was wearing a finger wrench inlaid with blue diamonds. The huge diamond reflected a faint light, which made the tear stains more obvious, and it seemed to be luminous.
"how?"
This question was much softer than before.
Kou Dong whispered, "I was just scared..."
His demeanor really looked like a bride acting like a spoiled bride to her groom.
The godfather asked: "Scared by what?"
This is what Kou Dong was waiting for. A hesitant look appeared on his face, as if he was a little ashamed, and his eyes looked at the butler who followed behind in a daze.
Then he bit his lip, as if he had made up his mind.
"Godfather," he whispered, "the housekeeper..."
Both looked at him.
Kou Dong finally spit out the second half of the sentence.
"The butler, it seems that he has an evil intention towards me... He just encouraged me to run away from marriage!"
Game system: […]
Butler: "..."
Godfather: "..."
The three NPCs were stunned by his words.
Hell's intentions are wrong—although the butler does have this intention, but Kou Dong's operation of finding one NPC to sue another NPC is too flirtatious, isn't it
Isn't he afraid that these NPCs are all gangs? And you're really going to run away from marriage!
Not to mention the hole dug by the butler, Kou Dong hasn't jumped into it yet, it's a good moment, and he actually digs a hole for the butler with his backhand...
The game system has mixed feelings.
Only then did it remember that Kou Dong was originally a love game live anchor.
The reason why he was able to attack four NPCs in one go was because of his acting skills of pretending to be innocent and dazed, pretending to be a little white flower...
Once acting is back, it's basically time to start playing various NPCs.
The godfather didn't expect his earth-shattering words. After a long silence, Fang smiled slightly.
"What do you want?"
Kou Dong lay down on his knees again.
"Godfather," he said softly, his voice seemed to be sweet, dripping honey from between the lines, "how could I run away from marriage? I want to stay by your side, but there are always people who want to say these gossips..."
Even an NPC would be elated by his words.
Not to mention the godfather who has raised him for many years.
The godfather rubbed the side of his ear and said unhurriedly, "Smart boy."
Kou Dong's heart trembled, vaguely feeling that he was seen through by the other party.
He was transparent in front of this person, he could be seen from head to toe at once, and he could clearly understand even the little thoughts that were turning around.
"I'll let him go," the godfather said slowly, with the corners of his lips still curled up slightly, "I'll leave tonight."
tonight...
Kou Dong took a light breath, but his eyes brightened even more.
"Yes," he whispered, "thank you Godfather."
The game system saw the light in his eyes, and finally understood Kou Dong's plan.
[The player wants to take the opportunity to escape?]
"Why escape?" Kou Dong retorted, "Don't talk nonsense..."
He smiled slightly.
"I just want to go out and see the butler off."
"After all, he paved such a good road for me."
This night is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
Kou Dong has probably visited the old castle, but never had the chance to visit the fir forest. The front and rear doors of the castle were all locked, and the big copper lock was heavy, trapping the bride and groom who were about to get married in this tall and cold castle.
If the butler wants to go out, these doors will open naturally—with luck, Kou Dong will find a safe way through the fir forest.
After all, the little milk dog had warned him that there would be man-eating beasts outside.
Kou Dong didn't think it was a real beast, and he didn't think this food was food in a common sense. If he wanted to avoid it, he had to take every step well and firmly.
Otherwise, one step will be wrong.
He will really fall into the arms of NPC.
Kou Dong did not light the lamp that night.
He made a rough figure out of blankets, then opened the door silently, and walked up the side stairs carefully. On the side of the tower above were the steward's rooms, which he had slipped into during the day, and the servants' rooms were unlocked.
As he approached, there was indeed a dim light.
Kou Dong shrank to a corner, not casually looking around, just waiting for the butler to come out.
At this time, the castle was extremely quiet, without any sound. Kou Dong's legs were numb from squatting, he got up slightly and changed his posture, changing his focus.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange voice.
"squeak-"
"..."
The sound seemed to be that the knife had passed through the barrier flesh, penetrated the tight muscle tissue, and then stagnated there. Kou Dong's hair stood on end because of the sound, he was silent for a while, then slowly approached, and took a few steps towards the door.
The voice became clearer, as if a butcher was slowly slicing open the skin of the meat in the room.
Kou Dong's palms were sweating thinly.
He hesitated for a moment, finally reached the door, poked his head gently, and looked into the room.
The door was not closed tightly. Servants are not treated as human beings. Their rooms are all open, so that they can get up and serve their masters at any time.
The candlelight was dim, and sitting on the bed was the housekeeper he had seen during the day.
The butler's long legs were slumped by the side of the bed, and he was cutting something with a pair of exquisite silver scissors in his hand.
A deep smile appeared on his face.
"I put it on," he whispered, "I put it on..."
Kou Dong suddenly felt nauseated. He saw clearly what the butler was holding in his hand, it turned out to be a human head.
He took a sharp step back.
The butler didn't notice at all. He was smiling all the time, threading needles and threads, and patiently sewed that human head. He connected the human head to the rest of the torso, and then slowly took off the layer of skin on his body with a creaking sound. Kou Dong saw something white and scattered all over the ground.
"..."
At this moment, Kou Dong suddenly realized that under the skin and flesh, there was no skeleton at all.
It was all stuffed feathers!
This is no one, this is a complete puppet!
He heard a small sound, and the doll put on a new leather by itself, and put it back on the butler's clothes. It adjusted the direction of its hands in satisfaction, opened its mouth tentatively, and said, "My lord, my lord—"
Immediately, it bent down suddenly, and bowed deeply towards the door where Kou Qiu was.
"My lord," it said sweetly, "I said—"
"I will always be loyal to you."
The author has something to say:
System: Your new gameplay is more flamboyant than I imagined...
Kou Dong: That's the sexier one you haven't seen. Let me ask first, if two NPCs fight, will I be responsible
