Horror Game: Cthulhu Fairy Tales

Chapter 120 Black Fairy Tale (3)

Huang Xiang took Xie Yueye into the elevator, pressed the button for the top floor, and began to wait quietly against the wall.

Although Xie Yueye was puzzled, he did not show it on his face and closed his eyes and waited.

Soon, the elevator reached the top floor of the house.

The moment the elevator opened, Xie Yueye seemed to see a white shadow flash by in the corridor.

"Hey, Brother Xie, come with me."

Huang Xiang scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He thought to himself, no wonder Brother Fu didn't tell Brother Xie about this matter back then. This... no one would have thought that this minister would be such a person.

Arriving at the door of a very ordinary resident, the yellow-haired man knocked on the door hesitantly.

Soon, a clear voice came from inside and shouted, "Coming right up!"

Then, under Xie Yueye's puzzled gaze, the expression on Huang Xiang's face became very heavy.

There was a series of ping-pong sounds in the room, accompanied by the man's exclamation.

"Ah! Ah! Hey!"

Huang Xiang's numb expression reminded Xie Yueye that he should have become completely accustomed to the reckless behavior of the people inside.

"Xie bro, please step back a little."

The yellow-haired man suddenly thought of something and quickly opened his mouth to remind him. Upon hearing this, Xie Yueye just retreated to the wall and saw the door in front of him fall outwards.

"Cough cough cough-"

There was a cloud of smoke inside, and a thin figure came out coughing.

The person who came out was slightly short and looked like a teenager, but when he looked up, no one would mistake him for a teenager by looking at his face.

There was a flash of surprise in Xie Yueye's eyes at this moment. He didn't expect that the person who came had such a stunningly beautiful face.

The young man who came out coughed a few times and smiled at Huang Xiang embarrassedly.

"Hey, Xiao Huang, you're here. I'm going to make fun of you again."

The young man who was speaking had a very youthful voice, but his tone had the flavor of an old man.

"Ahem, it's okay, I'll just help you clean up and introduce you."

Huang Xiang gestured to the young man to look at Xie Yueye standing beside him.

The young man turned his head and looked at Xie Yueye, revealing a very kind smile.

Xie Yueye finally understood where this strange feeling came from. If he guessed correctly, the other party was the famous scientist in a certain field from thirty years ago.

"Hello."

Although Xie Yueye was wondering why the other party was so young even though he should be over fifty years old, he did not take the initiative to ask.

"Hey, hello, hello, good boy."

"Ahem, Mr. Lin, you should know Brother Xie."

Huang Xiang looked at the two people who were exchanging awkward greetings and quickly interrupted.

"Ah? I...know him?"

The young man looked at Xie Yueye hesitantly, then took out his glasses and looked at him carefully.

Although Xie Yueye had a blank expression on his face, Huang Xiang could already sense that he must be feeling extremely embarrassed.

He quickly stepped forward to support the young man, then dragged him towards the inside of the room.

"Mr. Lin, let's go in and talk in detail."

Xie Yueye then breathed a sigh of relief. He felt very uncomfortable being stared at by this old senior.

After following the two into the room, Xie Yueye saw the mess on the ground in the dispersing mist.

Various books were piled up everywhere, and some laboratory equipment was placed randomly everywhere.

The yellow-haired man who came to the living room first skillfully pulled out the chair beside the dining table, asked the young man to sit down obediently, and then started cleaning.

"Xie bro, just go sit down, I'll do it."

Seeing Xie Yueye approaching and wanting to help, Huang Xiang quickly sent him away. It was too scary to have someone with such a face cleaning the house with him.

After the man pulled out a chair and sat down, the young man's face moved closer.

"What's your name? How old are you?"

Hearing this familiar way of asking, Xie Yueye seemed to have returned to his student days.

"..."

Huang Xiang was cleaning while eavesdropping on their conversation. After hearing Xie Yueye answering the questions very obediently, the yellow-haired man secretly revealed a look of surprise. He had never thought of forgiving Brother Xie for having such a character when facing his elders.

The young man called "Old Lin" couldn't help nodding after learning Xie Yueye's name and identity.

"Very good, very good... The Xie family... has a successor."

"You know my parents?"

When Xie Yueye heard this, excitement appeared on his face. He quickly grabbed the other person's hand and asked. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to meet someone who was familiar with his parents.

"Yeah, I worked with your parents."

"Mr. Lin's" face was full of nostalgia for the past, he still remembered that couple.

"Your parents have been together since high school, and were admitted to the same university. I was their senior in the previous class."

The young man thought of the two of them bickering in the past, and the smile in his eyes became more obvious.

"They are a pair of bickering lovers. Your parents were very famous in college and had many admirers."

After the news of their relationship spread, he even often saw many "fans" gathering at the door of the laboratory waiting for them to come out.

“When I was about to graduate, the authorities found me.”

When the young man said this, his expression became a little more serious.

"I didn't agree right away because I prefer the feeling of freedom to taking responsibility."

Then the soldier who later became the deputy minister went past him and found the couple.

"They found your parents, persuaded them to join the plan, and then asked them to convince me."

A trace of sadness flashed in "Mr. Lin's" eyes. He seemed to have thought of something and fell silent.

"Don't think too much. At your age, you should just follow your heart."

After cleaning up, Huang Xiang came to the dining table with a few cups of tea and placed them in front of "Mr. Lin".

"Um……"

The young man nodded, but remained silent, lost in his own thoughts.

"Brother Xie, as you can see now, it is true that Mr. Lin is the head of the Special Operations Department, but he has no real power. He is just an old man who likes to do research at home."

Huang Xiang also handed the teacup to Xie Yueye and continued to explain.

"Mr. Lin can indeed grant you the pass you want, but..."

The yellow-haired man glanced at the young man beside him who was still immersed in his own thoughts and did not continue speaking.

Xie Yueye nodded silently. He understood the meaning of the other party's words. This old man was probably unable to give him an answer.

"..."

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the cat that Xie Yueye was holding suddenly jumped from his arms to the table and walked in front of the young man.

"Meow?"

The cat's soft cry woke up "Mr. Lin" who was immersed in his own thoughts.

"Ok?"

He looked at Xie Yueye in a daze, then suddenly realized.

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes! I'm old now and I forgot. Your parents left something with me. I'll get it for you."

After hearing this, Xie Yueye didn't have time to ask before he saw the young man quickly stand up and go back to his room.
