[Ding——Ding——]

[Hint—hint—]

[Important plot line achieved ———]

[End of backtracking ———]

Jiang Yilin blinked.

The next second after the slender ghost hugged him tightly, he felt the picture began to shrink again, and Jiang Yilin returned to the dining table with his godfather.

He found that the movement of his hand was still the same as when he was holding the knife and fork, without any change at all.

In his heart, Jiang Yilin began to talk to the system.

"I met Slender Ghost when I was a teenager...why didn't you remind me?"

Jiang Yilin twitched the corner of his mouth.

You must know that the danger level of the plot line just now is very high. If Jiang Yilin's actions touch the line, then he will face an ending - being dismembered and tortured to death.

He didn't believe the Godfather's version of the ghost talk about the slender ghost, as he said before, that version was just a reaction from the godfather's heart, and the real slender ghost... definitely wasn't just frivolous Gentle creatures to kiss children.

What he made those children welcome was definitely not a warm embrace, but a cold scythe—a symbol of the cruelest death.

The system was silent for a while, and then said, [Don't worry, even if there are some accidents in the important plot line, you will not die instantly in this instance. 】

【——This is my guarantee to you. 】

Jiang Yilin didn't say a word, he never had all the trust in this system, they were testing each other more than relying on each other.

On the table.

After the godfather confirmed that he didn't think of anything more, their meal continued.

In the end, in order to avoid the shameful behavior of being fed by the godfather himself, Jiang Yilin reluctantly ate a small portion and drank some hot soup.

After the meal, the godfather was going to handle some official business. Under his gentle but undeniable request, the butler pushed Jiang Yilin to the manor behind the villa.

The maids and servants also followed them.

………………

Now seems to be the season.

The whole manor is full of all kinds of precious flowers, which are growing very well, as if splashing bright colors on the slowly unfolding canvas.

Jiang Yilin slowly gathered his thoughts, and asked Wilson, the butler behind him, as if inadvertently, "How long have you been here...how long?"

After going through less than two dungeons, Jiang Yilin also understood that the system is not inclined to take the initiative to give him prompts.

The help he provided, besides entering the prompt sound at the beginning of each dungeon, you need to explore by yourself.

The current situation is too passive for Jiang Yilin, he still needs to learn more information from these characters related to the dungeon.

After all, when he first entered this copy, his body suffered from suspected neurotoxicity, and judging from the words and deeds of his nominal brother and his godfather, they all caused some degree of harm to him .

Although the ultimate purpose of this dungeon is to find out who the slender ghost is possessing at the moment, judging from the plot line just now, when he digs out more puzzle pieces of this world, important plot lines will also be revealed. As it unfolds, it will be more conducive for him to deduce the truth.

"Not long... sir."

"perhaps--"

The butler paused for a while, then he stretched out his hand, and secretly stroked the young man's slightly long black hair.

The ink-colored hair tips glowed with the beauty of ink painting in the sun.

The butler's movements were very light, and he only touched the edge of the hairline slightly, so that his husband would not feel his movements.

"Probably... I have stayed here since you were born."

After Jiang Yilin heard his words, the corners of Jiang Yilin's mouth curled up slightly.

"So, Wilson, I have forgotten many things, can you tell me... what happened to me in this manor?"

The butler was silent for a long time.

"If you really want to know... I'd be happy to tell you."

"Your parents passed away when you were very young... so they entrusted you to the master before they died."

"You and your master have always had a good relationship. Since you were a child, your master has taught you and loved you like a parent and child—you are more like his favorite child than Mr. Xiao."

As if wanting to emphasize something, the steward said this emphatically, but it seemed a bit self-deprecating.

——It’s always been good...?

Jiang Yilin raised his eyebrows.

He didn't believe this, whether the housekeeper didn't know about those things, or he deliberately concealed them...Jiang Yilin couldn't be sure.

After the rigid man slowly pushed Jiang Yilin to the depths of the manor, where the servants could not see, the butler hesitated, and suddenly sighed.

"Actually, sir, there is one thing I want to remind you of."

"At the birthday party when you were 18 years old, you had some conflicts with the host, and you and Mr. Xiao also had a quarrel...and... on that night, I saw—"

The butler's voice became more and more hoarse, as if he was covering up his emotions... It was anger that was about to evaporate.

He tried his best to control his breathing, and tried his best to maintain a rigid and calm appearance.

"—and I saw you, covered in blood all over your body, from that study room... carried out by the master at night."
