The anchor doesn't want to die

The three of them came to the studio on the third floor without knowing it.The stairs are dilapidated, and when you step on them, there will be a toothache creaking sound, as if if you use a little force, the whole staircase will collapse.

The stairs between the first floor and the second floor are obviously not aging, and I don't know why the stairs connecting the studio are decayed like this.

The studio was filled with astonishing paintings. It was different from the scene Liang Yuesheng saw when he came last time. The studio at this time seemed to have changed a lot.

He finally understood why some viewers left a message saying that the murals in Alva's bedroom looked familiar when he was playing "The Eve of the Dead". It turned out that the same material came from this game!

In Federico's studio, portraits of the same person are impressively hung.The long-haired beauty in the painting has a gentle face, and the long silver-white hair is like a waterfall. Against his fair skin, he is as handsome as a god.

This group of portraits has the same name, "To Alfio".

Recalling the scene of Federico painting in this studio, Liang Yuesheng suddenly realized the reason why men leave a lot of blank space on the drawing paper.The person he painted, his beloved Alfio, was as white as snow and as pure as white paper.

"What a beautiful person..." Enzo looked at the portrait fascinatedly, but was held back by Turandot.

"This should be the countess who was rumored to have died early due to illness. The count loved her so much that he quickly followed her after the lady died." Turandot covered Enzo's eyes and whispered Added: "The count loves her so much, you'd better not stare at her, lest you make the count angry."

Liang Yuesheng looked at this little boy with admiration.Federico is clearly insane, and his love for Alfio is twisted.If the castle is really haunted, Federico's ghost will never let go of those who covet Alfio.

"And yet this Countess 'Lady'..." Isn't it a man?

Unfortunately, before Liang Yuesheng finished speaking, Enzo and Turandot stared at him as if they had seen a ghost.

"What's wrong?" He turned around and saw that there was really nothing else behind him.

"Feliche...you..." Enzo's voice trembled slightly.

"Why, why..." Liang Yuesheng also became nervous.

"Your face...and her...like..."

"No, it's not..." Don't scare him, he can't stand such a scare.

When looking at the sculpture, the three of them didn't have such an intuitive feeling. After all, the statue was still an unfinished product, and the face only had a rough outline.When seeing these paintings, the three of them realized the abnormality belatedly.

"Felice, have you ever had long hair?"

"No."

"You learn her expression and smile."

Liang Yuesheng adjusted his expression, showing a gentle smile like the person in the painting.

Enzo took two steps back, looking at him warily. "You...why do you look exactly like the countess?"

"Come on, I have nothing to do with the count's lover, it's just a coincidence."

He turned his back to the portrait, pointed to his face, then pointed to the painting behind him, and said softly, "Look, a painting is a painting, and I am me."

It's a pity that the two people in front of him ran away, leaving him standing awkwardly in the studio.

"It's just that they look alike... How similar can it be?" He turned around and looked at the mural behind him, only to see that the person in the painting that was originally snow-white turned into scarlet, and the blood color ran down the person in the painting. The outlines of the streams flow down and converge at the bottom of the frame, and sometimes converge into a small river, rushing down.The beautiful Alfio turned into a skeleton with empty eyes, let out a wicked smile, stretched out his hands from the painting suddenly, and grabbed his neck.

"Give me back... my face..."

Liang Yuesheng felt that he was about to suffocate, "Alfio" was extremely strong, and if this continued, it was only a matter of time before he was strangled to death.

A picture of "Alfio" came to life one after another, and greedily stretched out their hands to Liang Yuesheng.

The room full of murals turned into a bright red world at this time. The "Alfio" watched him with hollow eye sockets of skeletons, and some even dragged their bloody bodies out of the picture frame and walked to Liang Yuesheng. before.

The sharp nails scratched his face, which hurt a little.

He tried to resist, but the "Alfio" gathered more and more, and finally surrounded him.Hands like dry sticks struck at him like tree branches, and finally dragged him into the endless darkness.

When he woke up again, he found that the environment around him had turned into large expanses of blood red. He touched his face, but fortunately it was only a little bit of skin, and it was not dug away as he imagined.

He looked around, and all he could see was blood.The sky is like a circular cover covering the square earth.It was the setting sun, the setting sun was like blood, the sky was full of red clouds, and the rich light was splashed on the vast red land, dyeing the oven of heaven and earth with a layer of tragic red.The ground was empty, without any buildings or vegetation, as if it was a barren time and space abandoned by the goddess of life.

Such a flamboyant tone will always hurt the eyes after looking at it for a long time.He simply closed his eyes and walked slowly. After an unknown amount of time, he heard the sound of waves.Looking ahead, a sea of ​​blood that merged with the sky appeared in the field of vision.Standing on the beach in white clothes, the fishy-smelling wind gently lifted his long silver-white hair, and the blood-red sea washed against his calves, everything looked so weird.

Standing in the blood-red landscape, the snow-white man is out of tune with the whole world.Liang Yuesheng trot forward and patted his shoulder from behind.

"Alfio!"

Alfio turned around and gazed at him tenderly but suspiciously.

It was indeed an admirable face, not too stunning, but as warm and soft as jade, with a restrained and quiet temperament, but without any weakness.

"Who are you?" Alfio's voice was as clear as a mountain spring.

This question obviously stumped Lian Yuesheng, he didn't know what to answer, but fortunately Alfio did not delve into this question, but heaved a long sigh.

"Stranger, if you can come here, Federico must have made a big mistake. I beg you, do your best to stop his plot, otherwise the world will be destroyed."

"Federico's conspiracy?"

"Yes. He is delusional about breaking the barrier between hell and the world, and releasing demons and ghosts from hell." Having said that, Alfio lowered his eyes with a sad expression.

"Why would he do this?"

Alfio raised his head, his frown was full of pain. "He was originally a devout believer, but the teachings did not allow him to be with me. He prayed to the gods to give me health, but my condition was getting worse and worse."

After the beauty paused for a moment, she continued to speak slowly: "So he betrayed heaven and turned to hell for help. My body has indeed recovered, but it's a pity..."

"One day when he was out hunting, a raging fire broke out at home. I was tied to a cross by angry believers and couldn't break free. When he returned from the territory, what greeted him was my charred bones."

Liang Yuesheng clenched her fists, "Why did they treat you like this?"

What is the difference between the church and the devil in such an act of killing people?

"Federico is a born nobleman, so the church can only vent their anger on me. They think that I have seduced Federico. As long as there is no me, Federico will return to normal and fall in love with a gentle and beautiful woman. woman."

"It's a pity that he went crazy after that. My soul stays in the world. I can't bear to see him degenerate, and I don't want to see him commit suicide. I can only save him frequently, but I didn't expect him to realize my existence. Sow a darker seed in my heart."

"He tried to take revenge on the gods and bring me back to life. To achieve his goal, he turned himself into a demon."

"Someone must stop his plot. Once the technique of resurrection is successful, there will inevitably be a gap between the world and hell, and a large number of demons will wake up from hell, and the world will inevitably become barren."

Speaking of this, Alfio clenched his fists in pain, Liang Yuesheng understood his feelings, so he could only pat him on the shoulder lightly. "It's already like this, it's irreversible, you..." He is not good at comforting others, and finally he only managed to say: "You can look forward."

Alfio glanced at him gratefully, then sighed helplessly, his lowered eyes were full of melancholy and uneasiness, but also faintly tainted with three-point worries about his lover.

"How can the boundary between life and death be as simple as he imagined? Once a precedent is created, it will inevitably cause disaster."

Alfio tightly held Liang Yuesheng's hand, the touch was cool and delicate. "Stranger, I beg you to stop him."

"what should I do?"

The silver-haired beauty was relieved, smiled slightly, and hugged his body tightly.

"Accept me." After saying that, the snow-white figure gradually faded and disappeared in Liang Yuesheng's arms, and finally turned into nothingness.

He froze for a moment, trying to grab some white fragments, but only held a piece of air.Immediately, darkness suddenly struck.

When he woke up again, he found himself back in the castle, slumped in the studio.A portrait of Alfio hangs on the wall, with happy smiles on each handsome face, as if the previous skeletons and blood were just illusions.

He touched his face, the scratch marks were still there, but the blood had stopped.

For a moment, the man's low chuckle sounded in his mind, and when he raised his head, Federico's face appeared in front of him.

The count stared at him affectionately, with a healthy and ruddy complexion and a gentle and loving smile. "Alfio, why did you hide on the third floor again? The bishop just praised your beauty to me."

He heard Alfio's voice escape from his own lips. "Even if I have long hair, they will find out that I am not a woman sooner or later. I don't want my existence to affect the relationship between you and the ruler."

"It's okay, the gods will definitely forgive us. You are so perfect, how can anyone in the world be willing to hurt you?"

Federico hugged him and kissed his hair lightly.

"I love you, Alfio, regardless of gender."

The count's figure gradually faded away in the darkness, and then Liang Yuesheng realized that it was just a fragment of Alfio's memory.

Standing up, he walked out of the studio, but he smelled a faint fishy smell.

With a twitch of his eyelids, he rushed to the source of the blood, but saw a scene that sent chills down his spine.

Enzo lay prone in a pool of blood, with a long trail of blood behind him.He hurried to Enzo's side, squatted down, and sniffed Enzo's breath.

Fortunately, there is help.Without hesitation, he exchanged the meager points obtained through the plot for a first-aid kit, turned Enzo over, and performed emergency rescue for the other party.

"Anchor, I knew that even if he just left you alone when he was in danger, you would still make the choice to save people." Although Tangyuan was used to the kindness of this anchor, there was still some hatred in her tone It means that iron does not become steel. "As long as the mystery of the castle can be solved and the true ending can be played, the death of the NPC will not affect the game score."

"But now I am in the game world, he is a living life to me."

"But the more points you save, the longer you can stay in the real world next time."

"Points are not saved. Throttling is not as good as the source. I will play to a good ending."

"Forget it, that's the kind of person you are. If you don't save him, you won't be you." After saying a bunch of inexplicable words, Tang Yuan remained silent, leaving Liang Yuesheng confused.

After an unknown amount of time, the blond boy opened his eyes.

"You..." Enzo's eyes were a little dazed, as if he didn't expect to be helped.After all, he left behind his companions who were besieged by portrait skeletons and fled. His previous betrayal made him unable to hold his head up in front of Liang Yuesheng.

However, Liang Yuesheng didn't care what the other party was thinking, and asked eagerly, "Enzuo, are you okay?"

The warm touch reassured Enzo a lot, "It's much better, thank you, Felice."

"What happened to you? Why did you get hurt like this?"

Enzo let out a long breath, and said slowly: "Turandot and I saw many faceless people. They gathered in the living room on the first floor, and they seemed to be holding some kind of ceremony. We wanted to sneak in and observe secretly, but were caught They noticed it. Turandot and I were separated during the escape, and I was wounded and ran to the third floor, and then lost consciousness."

"Faceless man?" Liang Yuesheng was puzzled.

Enzo seemed to recall something terrible, and his body trembled slightly.

"Those are faceless...human beings."

Liang Yuesheng couldn't figure it out. If it was a sculpture that hadn't carved out the facial features, he could still understand it, but what would a human being without a face look like?

Seeing Liang Yuesheng's puzzled expression, En Zuo frowned and sighed softly.

"I'll take you to see those puppet-like bodies."

The author has something to say:

Jiang Chen (blackening and accumulating power): "Shengsheng, you want to spend less time with me for a game npc?"

Liang Yuesheng (clenching his fists): "I will get a good ending and earn points!"

Game clearance boss (touching the anchor's stupid head): "I won't give you water."
