"..."
Kou Dong's scalp seemed to explode. He lifted his foot and took another big step back, but his eyes couldn't help but still look into the room. The butler in the room has already put on new leather, and has become a brand new, completely different person from before. It twists its limbs, and the feathers inside make creaking sounds.
The thread on the neck was completely covered by the shirt, and the bow tie was well-fitted.
Buttons at the cuffs block the remaining connections.
It took out the gold pocket watch from its breast pocket, and opened the cover with a snap.
"It's time," it said unhurriedly, with a soft voice, as if whispering in a lover's ear, "It's time to cover the young master again."
After finishing speaking, it really raised its feet and moved forward.
"..."
At this moment, Kou Dong's heart was full of beasts, and he almost swears at the game system.
"Fuck, are all the puppets in your game so dedicated!"
Game system: [Please pay attention to the wording, NPC is for the player.]
"..."
Don't want this kind of service!
Who the hell needs an NPC from a horror game to cover himself in the middle of the night!
The butler walked towards the door step by step. Maybe it's because he just got a new skin, so his steps are not that big, he still staggers a little, and walks crookedly. Kou Dong didn't dare to try the consequences of bumping into him, so he turned his head and ran back.
This corridor is not too long. Fortunately, Kou Dong's physical fitness is not bad, and he ran to the end of the stairs in a few steps. But at the same time, he suddenly saw dim candlelight slowly moving up under the stairs, and the shadow of the candle danced on the wall.
Kou Dong saw his face clearly from the gap between the armrests, it turned out to be the manservant with the fire tools in his hands!
Looking at it like this, it seems that the fireplace in the old castle has just been repaired...
Kou Dong paused and quickly turned a corner. He didn't care about anything at the moment, the footsteps behind became more and more clear, the butler had already paced out of the door; the male servant in front also climbed up the steps step by step, walking towards the resting room. With no way out, Kou Dong had no choice but to open the nearest door and quickly hide in.
He gently closed the door tightly, and immediately held his breath and stood in the corner, tightly against the base of the wall.
The male servant outside had already stepped up the steps, and said respectfully, "Butler Ross."
"Uh-huh."
The butler's voice was still a bit weird, as if he wasn't quite used to this new body. Kou Dong didn't dare to vent his anger, and the butler asked through the thin door panel, "Why did you come back?"
"There's something wrong with the stove in your lord's room," the manservant replied, "I'm worried, so I went to check again."
The housekeeper asked again: "Is there someone just now?"
Servant: "I didn't see it. Who did you see?"
Kou Dong's heart beat even more violently. He didn't speak, but he tightly grasped the doorknob, ready to resist the sudden attack.
"Didn't see," the steward repeated regretfully, "didn't see..."
Kou Dong suddenly saw a pair of eyes. The eyes leaned against the crack of the door and looked in. The blue pupils rolled around in the whites of the eyes, searching the room. But he didn't notice the boy in the corner. When he straightened up again, the butler's throat made a clicking sound, as if a clockwork was spinning.
"Let him go, let the bride go..."
He smiled softly, and this laughter echoed monotonously in the dark night. Immediately, there were two footsteps at the door, and the two men went straight towards their target without any further conversation.
Kou Dong breathed out slightly, knowing that he had escaped for the time being. Only then did he have time to raise his eyes and look at the room he temporarily hid in.
The room was small, and after the eyes got used to the darkness, they could gradually make out the outlines of the objects in the room.
Ordinary beds, cabinets, and no other furniture. Kou Dong saw something strange, and only after touching it with his hands did he realize it was a tape measure.
His heart moved, thinking of the tailor who came to measure his figure during the day. When I walked to the bed to look, it was indeed a tailor.
Of all the people in the castle, he was the only one with such a beard.
Kou Dong held his breath and waited and waited in the room, listening carefully to distinguish.
After a while, he couldn't tell whether he was relaxed or nervous, so he took a deep breath.
—he didn't hear any breathing.
The tailor lay here more like a dead thing, a piece of open human skin. No temperature, no breath, just a cold, lifelike puppet.
Yes.
Otherwise, according to the godfather's possessiveness—Kou Dong couldn't imagine that he would allow such a lowly person to kiss the corner of his skirt.
It turned out that it was just a group of walking dead.
Then how many such walking corpses are there in this ancient castle
Kou Dong stood there thinking for a while, then suddenly turned around and opened the wardrobe in the corner. The cabinet is full of things hanging, it looks like a piece of white clothes, big and small, with fur collars on them, which is very suitable for the identity of a tailor.
But Kou Dong suddenly reached out to touch those clothes. This touch made his palms sweat.
The material was extremely slippery, and it slid across his fingertips, not quite like a textile material.
rather like...
Kou Dong pursed his lips.
It's like touching the flesh of a living person.
Enduring his nausea, he pulled up a sleeve, and it turned out to be a human arm. The leather clothes worn by the housekeeper just now are hung here one by one, like handicrafts carefully sewn by a tailor.
—Wait, maybe it really is a handicraft sewn by people.
Kou Dong stood there for a while, then asked the system: "Are there any laws and regulations in the game?"
Game system: [As long as you don't get caught by the groom, players are welcome to explore the rest by themselves.]
Kou Dong nodded, and said casually, "So, it's okay if I kill someone and set them on fire, right?"
After staying in a society ruled by law for a long time, he was really afraid that he would be arrested and go to jail if he played like this.
Game system: [… ? ? ?]
set fire
It vaguely felt that something was wrong, but before it could say it, Kou Dong had already opened the door and went into the housekeeper's room.
The butler went downstairs alone, and the candlesticks were still in the room. The candle was still burning and crackling.
Kou Dong held the candlestick and murmured, "I don't know if human skin burns well..."
Game system: [? ? ? ? ? ?]
Its question marks were about to pop out of the air, and Kou Dong watched dumbfounded as he cut off the curtains, piled them up roughly together with the bedsheets, and then carried him back to the tailor's room. Under the almost surprised gaze of the system, Kou Dong calmly piled these things on the tailor—
Then he took the candlestick and lit the curtain cloth.
The carpet was burned, the human skin in the cabinet was burned, and even every room was pushed away, and a fire was lighted carelessly. The smell of burning human skin spread slowly, black smoke spiraled up, and the room was filled with red.
Game system: […]
It's not what it said, it really hasn't seen this gameplay.
Horror game players have always focused on exploration, looking for a way to survive with trepidation, Kou Dong is different from others, and it’s okay to cheat NPCs, but he dares to set fire to NPCs? !
It was rarely a bit stuck, and said in shock: [The player is not afraid of NPC revenge?]
Kou Dong also set the carpet on fire, and then said: "That must be able to get up."
Game system: […]
"I just watched it, and there was quite a lot of movement when the housekeeper came out, and none of the NPCs on this floor responded." Kou Dong said, "What does this mean? It means that there is no role for them tonight."
Simply put, it can be said to be on standby.
So what are you waiting for if it's not burning now? Will they turn it on tomorrow morning
Kou Dong is not stupid, isn't this increasing the number of enemies for himself
He is not the kind of person who doesn't have guns or cannons, and deliberately creates evil pens for the enemy.
Game system: […]
"So," Kou Dong concluded, "it's better to burn it down."
Besides, burning is also an opportunity for him, maybe he just took advantage of it and ran away...
Kou Dong suddenly clapped his hands, "By the way, let's go and burn the wedding dress at this time. I—no, I don't like that torn skirt a long time ago!"
He is not the kind of person who has no integrity, and he will never abandon his dignity in order to survive!
Kou Dong quickly ran downstairs, full of expectations, rushed to the dressing room to burn the wedding dress. It's a pity that just after running to the door of the locker room, there was a creaking sound of the door not far away, followed by the clear and cold voice of the godfather.
"why do not you sleep?"
Kou Dong turned his head and saw the godfather coming out in his nightgown. The godfather stared straight at him with dark eyes, like a wild wolf staring at its prey, licking its paws leisurely.
He stared at his godson's delicate neck. That piece of skin was extremely white, even a little dazzling. The round-eyed boy was standing not far from him, with a terrified expression, which made him want to imprint his teeth directly.
Bitten this man through, left it here, and poured it into his blood.
His eyes darkened at the thought.
"Disobedient children... will be punished."
He smiled slightly and took a step forward.
"-yes?"
The boy suddenly said, "Then what if I'm disobedient?"
"..." The godfather frowned, unable to understand the meaning of this sentence.
"It's on fire," Kou Dong said with his eyes slightly bent, "If I don't come out, I'm afraid I'll be smoked to death."
The little milk dog did tell him the rule that he would be filled when he went out at night, but that was when nothing happened.
In a special situation like tonight, Kou Dong does not believe that this broken game will still stick to this rule.
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, the face of the godfather obviously changed. Just now the strange glory faded from his face, and he became the indifferent and majestic godfather again, staring at his godson.
"So," he said slowly, "what are you doing in front of the locker room?"
Kou Dong wasn't guilty at all, instead he straightened up his chest.
"Isn't this on fire?" he said, "I'm afraid something will happen to my wedding dress, the wedding must not be delayed..."
Godfather: "..."
Game system: […]
Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, didn't you just swear that it is absolutely impossible to abandon your dignity in order to survive
Doesn't your face hurt right now?
The author has something to say:
Kou Dong (righteous speech): I am here to protect my wedding dress!
NPC: ...
Put down the torch in your hand and speak again.
