After dinner, they gathered around the fireplace to analyze the clues collected on the first day of the game.

Adele and the other npcs in the castle are just guides or characters that add horror elements in the necessary parts of the game. They usually don't interfere with the player's game, so they left early after dinner.

"I want to ask a question first, whose severed hand we found belongs to? Is it purely for scaring people?" Lu Zhan raised his hand.

And Yu Xi hasn't been intimidated yet, this prop looks even more tasteless.

"Looking at the size, it should be an adult's hand." Li He recalled.

"So people died in this castle?" Luo Yuan sat up straight.

"The duke and his wife should not be alive anymore." Fu Younian looked at the flames jumping in the fireplace, and said after a moment of silence, "Currently, there are four known NPCs in the castle, Adele, her deacon, daughter-in-law Maid, there is another cook that we have never met, but we have only heard of."

"These people may be ghosts," Yu Xi hugged the pillow and pressed against his lower abdomen, he felt a little stomachache, "This ancient castle seems to have a history of at least hundreds of years, I wonder if they were left over from that time ghost."

The old castle is in the outskirts, with verdant trees. Looking out of the window at night, it is a large area of ​​darkness, whimpering from time to time with the wind. In the huge old castle, the surroundings are silent, and even the beeping of the fire is very clear when no one is talking. , After the sun fades, in the dark night, people can feel the dull and dead air virtually.

"I am also inclined to this possibility. If the assumption is true, there are two situations now. One is that Adele and the others know that they are ghosts, and our situation may become more dangerous. The other is that Adele and the others don't know I am a ghost, and for some reason, I stayed in the castle and continued to live according to the trajectory of my life." Fu Younian said.

"I don't have a clue at all," Luo Chen slumped on the chair, regretting why he accepted the notice. He didn't feel it before he came here. Now that he really stays in this place, it is impossible to say that he is not afraid at all, and his brain is not enough. , "Adele is forced to study, so her wish is to hang out?"

They don't need to find a key to escape this period. They can pass the level if they survive and complete the only task. Of course, if they don't complete the task within the three-day time limit, they will be swallowed by evil spirits.

"It's really uncertain," Lu Zhan said, "If I am forced to play Chopin a thousand times all day long, I would like to go out for a run in the middle of the night, and I don't want to see the piano."

"But our game has a limit, and we are not allowed to leave the castle. Then Adele's wish is a false proposition, and it will never be realized." Yu Xi disagrees. The initial rules of the game cannot be broken, and at the same time, they will not be given Set a deadlock.

It might be because it was too cold in the old castle at night, and with the Western-style dinner, many things were half-cooked. Yu Xi's stomach pain was hard to ignore, and his face became paler, so he got up and took a few stomach medicines first.

The teammates were still discussing, Yu Xi went to the side and drank half a cup of hot water, feeling a little relieved.

"Where is it uncomfortable?" Fu Younian followed and asked behind him.

"It's okay, I'll be fine after taking the medicine." Yu Xi doesn't want to mention his illness to others, and talking too much will only arouse pity, just like when he was blind before, countless people have abused him Fans turned their heads to pity him, and when walking on the road, they always heard people say that it is a pity that he is blind at such a young age.

And he didn't know why, and he didn't want Fu Younian to pity him.

"If you still feel uncomfortable after a while, you can end tonight earlier." Fu Younian said.

Yu Xi still shook his head.

Fu Younian didn't insist anymore, but just added some hot water for him.

It was only around 07:30 in the evening, and they had plenty of time, so they continued to search for the rooms in the castle.

"Night is a very dangerous time," Li He reminded his teammates as usual, especially the newcomer Luo Chen, "Our mission this time is collective. First of all, everyone must protect themselves. lose people."

They still acted together, along the corridor, looking for each room.

When she walked into the classroom where Adele usually attended classes, the crystal chandelier above her head suddenly shook a few times, casting messy shadows on the ground.

Subconsciously, Fu Younian turned back to look for Yu Xi, and held his hand before the lights went out. Sure enough, his palm was cold and trembling slightly.

"Why is it coming again?" Everyone gathered with their teammates nearby, trying to alleviate their fear.

The surroundings were pitch black, and the classroom was drawn with thick flannelette curtains, so the moonlight outside could not come in, and it was truly blind.

The wooden door of the classroom slammed behind him, and then Yu Xi heard the screams of his teammates, and even his stomach throbbed.Fu Younian didn't respond all the time, he just held his hand quietly, the palm was dry and warm.

In the darkness, Fu Younian's hand passed Yu Xi's body, and he took him into his arms.Although there are night vision cameras, their movements are not out of line in such an environment.

"What are you doing?" Yu Xi struggled a few times, but he didn't dare to struggle too violently to avoid being discovered by his teammates.

"I'm afraid." Fu Younian bowed his head and said.

Yu Xi was speechless for a while, and couldn't help but taunt him in a low voice, "Mr. Fu, how old are you?"

"You can be as old as you say, anyway, I have to hug you." Fu Younian said shamelessly.

With his back against Fu Younian's chest, the sound of a strong heartbeat came through the thin fabric, Yu Xi didn't want to admit it, but he did calm down a lot, Fu Younian's arm just landed on his stomach, It was warm and firm, and even the cold stomach was re-circulating blood.

Yu Xi still wanted to speak, but suddenly he heard a reminder from the staff in the headset, asking him to turn right and enter the room.

After the post-editing, it naturally looks like it disappeared out of thin air, and then appeared in another space, just like their first episode, when the lights in the orphanage hall were turned off, Li He and the others disappeared, but it’s not a real holographic game , You have to walk by yourself.

Fu Younian also seemed to have received the task reminder, so he let go of his hands, and each walked in the direction of the reminder in silence.

When Yu Xi opened his eyes again and the lights came on, he turned out to be in Adele's room.

A handcuff was put on his wrist just now. In order to prevent players from being injured, the inside of the handcuff was padded with a soft sponge. side.

Yu Xi raised his wrist and pulled it, and something was immediately affected on the opposite side.

"Who's there?" Yu Xi asked.

"It's me." Fu Younian looked around and answered.

"Is it just the two of us?" Yu Xi walked to the wall nearer to Fu Younian. The sound insulation here was ineffective, and the voices from the side could be heard clearly.

"It should be." When Fu Younian opened his eyes, he found himself standing in Adele's room, and he was the only one.

The length of the iron chain is limited, if Yu Xi wants to go to the door, he must let Fu Younian go forward and stick it to the wall, and vice versa.

They were still a little confused about the situation, but they heard their teammates calling for help vaguely from outside.

"Yu Xi? Teacher Fu? Where have you been?" Lu Zhan kept calling them, "Where are Sister Yun and Luo Yuan? We're locked up!"

Yu Xi understood in his heart that besides him and Fu Younian, Zhong Yun and Luo Yuan were probably separated in other places in the same way.

"I'm in Adele's room." Yu Xi asked Fu Younian to lengthen the chain, and went to the door to tell Lu Zhan.

"Damn, what the hell is this place, I'm scared to death, can you come out? There is no key here, we are locked, and there are coffins next to it." Luo Chen was a little panicked.

Luo Chen, Lu Zhan, and Li He also heard the task assigned in the headset. They went to the same room, and when the lights came on, there were several black coffins at their feet, with complicated patterns on them and a slightly open lid. Nothing came up.

I don't know where it is. They haven't been here during the day. The wall near the corridor was removed and replaced with a locked iron fence, like a cage.

Luo Yuan and Zhong Yun also responded, and they were indeed tied together by iron chains, and the door was locked, so they couldn't go out.

"Are you in Adele's room too?" After hearing what Yu Xi said to Lu Zhan, Fu Younian asked him standing by the wall.

Yu Xi noticed the word "also" very keenly, and said, "Could it be a matter of time and space again?"

"What's your room like?" Fu Younian asked again.

Only then did Yu Xi take a closer look around, and found that the Adele's room he was in was different from what they had seen during the day.

Although the room during the day was beautifully decorated, it didn’t have much childishness. Adele’s princess bed also used old-fashioned bed curtains, but this room was completely different. Although it was the same furnishings, the overall tone became sunny And lively, there are a few cute dolls on the bedside, and a butterfly hairpin is left on the dressing table.

"So one side is imagination, and the other side is reality?" Fu Younian guessed.

It seemed likely, but they didn't have time to think about it. The top priority was to find the key to unlock the handcuffs, and then go to rescue Lu Zhan and the others as soon as they got out.

Yu Xi and Fu Younian tried their best to leave half of the iron chains for each of them first, and searched all the places they could go, and then changed the lengths to let the other party find the remaining corners.

Fu Younian found a small key with a rose engraved on the handle in Adele's vanity box, but Yu Xi didn't have it.

Yu Xi found a note, which said that both of them must open the handcuffs at the same time.

"If only one is opened, will the other person be eliminated?" Yu Xi didn't quite understand, the note was not torn, and the content should be complete, but it read as if a sentence was missing, and he didn't tell them Consequences for breaking the rules.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out," Fu Younian put away the key, "We will open it together after you find it."

Yu Xi searched again, but still found nothing. He even looked at the top of the cabinet, touched every place he could get it, but found nothing.

Luo Chen and the others stayed in the prison, and various projections had been placed on the promenade outside, broken limbs and arms, bloodstains all over the floor, and dolls with empty eyes. It felt like they were reminding something, but it was hard to face the fear keep watching.

"It shouldn't be simple to let us escape from the room. There are still two days to go. This may be a clue." Yu Xi leaned against the wall and said to Fu Younian.

"Assume that these two places are Adele's appearance and heart," Fu Younian knocked on the wall a few times, "Does her wish depend on what she thinks in her heart?"

Yu Xi thought the same way, the focus might be on his side, but no matter how he searched, there was nothing that seemed to suggest something.

Yu Xi went to search again, he even lifted the mattress to have a look, but there was still nothing.

Zhong Yun and the others didn't sound like they were making any progress. Yu Xi leaned against the dressing table and gnawed his knuckles unconsciously, then suddenly stood up straight, turned around and knocked on the mirror a few times, there was a thud behind the mirror, as if something had fallen to the ground .

Yu Xi went around to look behind, and picked up a note from underneath.

"Let my love surround you like sunshine, and give you glorious freedom." Yu Xi took it to the wall and read it to Fu Younian.

Fu Younian pondered these words repeatedly in his heart, but he had no clue.

"This is not Adele's handwriting," Yu Xi said sharply as he looked at the lines of handwritten words, "It looks like a man's handwriting."

"Was it written by the person Adele was waiting for?" Fu Younian said.

Yu Xi frowned, they still don't know who that person is.

Adele is still young, this could only be a line of family or friendship.

"Is it possible that Adele has an older brother?" Yu Xi suddenly asked.

"I don't know yet," Fu Younian said, "But many of the courses that Adele studied were generally not taught to girls in Europe in the old days. She may have an older brother, or once had one."

This is another new problem. If Adele has an older brother, it is impossible for the maid who grew up in the castle not to know about it, unless she is deliberately hiding it from them.

Yu Xi got up and looked for the key again. Fu Younian couldn't see him, but he could always feel his wrist being pulled.

They pull back and forth, restrict each other, and try to give each other space and freedom.

Fu Younian took a breath, and suddenly he had an idea that seemed impossible.

"Yu Xi, you said my key, can you open your handcuffs?" Fu Younian said.

Although the hole in the wall is small, the key is rather long. If Yu Xi rests his wrist on the hole, Fu Younian can help him open the handcuffs even if the key handle cannot pass through.

"If you can drive it, what will you do if you are eliminated?" Yu Xi didn't want Fu Younian to leave so early, "If you want to drive it, you should drive your own first."

Fu Younian felt that it would be impossible to open his own handcuffs with that key. Luo Chen and the others screamed more and more miserably. They didn't know what happened, so they couldn't bear to think about it, so Fu Younian tried it, and sure enough. , the key couldn't be inserted, so he could only open Yu Xi's lock.

Yu Xi still didn't want to understand. He listened to Fu Younian's words, raised his wrist, and turned the keyhole of the handcuffs to the hole. When he was about to lean in, he suddenly realized what Fu Younian meant.

"Ms. Fu, your side is Adele's real life. She is being disciplined extremely severely by her parents. She has no real happiness and freedom. Only the person who will come to see her at some point is worth looking forward to," Yu Xi tried. Analyzing, "My side is like a dream, where Adele has the freedom she wants."

So love is not shackles, not a strong desire to control, nor taking it for granted to impose one's wishes on someone, such as one's own child, but to give glorious freedom as a necessity of love.

"Now you are free." Fu Younian opened the lock for him and said with a smile.

At the same time as the handcuffs were released, the door behind Yu Xi suddenly opened automatically, and the lights in the corridor outside were turned on again.

"Mr. Fu, how are you doing?" Yu Xi hurriedly asked.

But there was no more sound from the other side of the wall.

Yu Xi took off the handcuffs, and when he heard that Zhong Yun and the others hadn't come out, he could only open the door for Luo Chen and the others as quickly as possible.

The key is actually hanging on the wall of the corridor, but the distance is too far, Luo Chen and the others can't reach it at all.

"If you stay for another half an hour, I will really cry." Lu Zhan suppressed his shock, and reached out to touch Yu Xi's shoulder.

But after Yu Xi opened the door, he didn't say anything, and ran back in the direction he came from without turning his head. Lu Zhan called him several times but didn't stop.

The lights in the corridor flickered from time to time, and Yu Xi walked along the corridor to the direction where Fu Younian was in the room just now.

The door of the room was open and the lights were on inside, but Fu Younian was not there.

Feeling lost for no reason, Yu Xi clenched the doorknob tightly, wondering if he would hear the system's death announcement in the next moment.

Suddenly, Yu Xi felt someone approaching behind him, and subconsciously wanted to turn around, but someone raised his hand to cover his eyes.

Yu Xi breathed a sigh of relief as the clear scent of perfume wrapped around his body.

"I just received a mission, let me go and see Zhong Yun and the others." Fu Younian said.

"Yeah." Yu Xi went back to find his teammates with him, his ears were red, he regretted that he was so anxious just now, he was completely flustered, he didn't think that freedom is two-way.

Fu Younian was surprised that he was so worried about himself. Although it was just a game, he couldn't help but want to tease him, but in the end he didn't speak. He just avoided the direction of the camera and hooked Gou Yuxi's fingertips behind him.

Yu Xi was already extremely embarrassed, and when he hooked her, she blushed and kicked his heels.

Zhong Yun and the others also got some clues, but it was already very late, so they planned to go back to the room to rest first, and talk about the rest when they got up tomorrow.

I was so nervous when I broke the secret room just now, Yu Xi even forgot the stomachache, and only felt the burning in the stomach again after lying on the bed.

Luo Chen was also very sleepy, falling asleep on the pillow, only Fu Younian was still sitting on the rattan chair by the window, reading documents.

Fu Younian didn't notice it at first, when he got up to fetch the water, he saw Yu Xi shivering in the quilt from the corner of his eye, so he went over to take a look.

"Do you still have a stomachache?" Fu Younian asked him in a low voice while sitting by the bed, "What medicine did you take at night?"

Yu Xi told him the name of the medicine, which was actually common stomach medicine and painkiller.

Fu Younian's parents had a bad stomach, which was the result of perennial drug stimulation. Seeing Yu Xi's pale face and cold sweat on his forehead, he knew it must be uncomfortable.

"Rub it for you." Fu Younian put his hands on Yu Xi's body through the quilt.

When Yu Xi was a child, his stomach was not very good, and he was prone to food accumulation, so he always went to the hospital. In the hospital, he saw other people's parents rubbing the child's stomach, but his aunt never rubbed him. At most, he gave him hot water and medicine. , Sometimes even the medicine is found by himself.

"No." Yu Xi pulled up the quilt and shook his head.

"Rub through the clothes," Fu Younian rubbed his hair and the back of his neck, like rubbing a vicious kitten, "I can't take painkillers anymore, I just finished eating within a few hours."

Fu Younian didn't ask for his opinion any more, he put his hands under the quilt to warm up a little, reached in and pulled Yu Xi's hand away, and landed on his stomach.

Fu Younian's movements were very light and skillful, and he felt very comfortable after rubbing it a few times. Yu Xi was sweating profusely, raised his arms to cover his face, and looked at Fu Younian through his fingers.

"Poor little girl." Fu Younian leaned over and changed into a comfortable position, with a smile in his eyes, he said in a low voice.

"...I don't need you to pity me." Yu Xi frowned at him, his voice a little cold.

"I didn't pity you." Fu Younian said.

He didn't know where Yu Xi got such an illness, but he could also tell that Yu Xi didn't need anyone to sympathize with him, otherwise Yu Xi wouldn't be filming rain scenes before, and he wouldn't insist on finishing the show now. just rest.

Fu Younian also understands it very well, just like he didn't need others to sympathize with his family members who were seriously ill. They can still hold on and have a straight spine. Why should others look at it with pity? Own.

"I love you." Fu Younian bowed his head and kissed his hand.
