This NPC really has a problem

Bai Yiyi didn't see Steward Lu all day long.

When it's meal time, the players habitually come to the restaurant to find their seats and sit down, waiting for the feed from Butler Lu, but Butler Lu hasn't shown up for a long time.They went to Butler Lu's room to search, but the door was locked.

The players who guessed that Steward Lu was resting did not knock on the door to interrupt, but went to the kitchen to find ingredients to make lunch by themselves. The result was so unpalatable that they almost shed tears.

Baizhu ran to Steward Lu's side in small steps. It was too dark, he didn't see the stones under his feet, and he stumbled when he stepped on them.Steward Lu reached out to support him in time, and by the way avoided the tragedy of Bai Yi hitting his head into his arms one by one and bringing him down.

"Why did you come out?" Lu Butler asked.

"I was chased by Mr. Tulun," Bai Zhu replied honestly after standing still, "I climbed down from the third floor, and I saw Mrs. Tulum right after I got down, so I didn't dare to go back."

Steward Lu's focus is different: "The third floor is a bit high, are you injured?"

"It's all right, I tore down the curtains and let the rope slide down." Bai Zhu asked, "Why isn't Steward Lu taking a rest right now?"

"I've been sleeping all day," Steward Lu briefly explained his whereabouts during the day, "I'm here to find something."

Bai Zhu asked, "What are you looking for?"

Butler Lu replied, "I don't know yet."

Steward Lu, who had been sleeping for a whole day, is in a much better state now, and his sleeping time is now close to that of the original Tulun family.When Butler Lu got up and put on his coat, a folded letter fell out of his pocket.

It was the last correspondence between Mrs. Tulum and Mr. Tulum. He somehow cared about it, and left it alone when he put the letter back.Steward Lu lit the candles in the room, read the letter several times by the candlelight, and finally decided to go to the stables.

One was to look for clues that might exist in the abandoned stables, but for a guess in his mind.The night Luosa was purified by the paper rose and the awakened memory, Steward Lu saw the scene of the past. Although he still doesn't understand how he did it, he remembered the few lines that appeared in front of his eyes.If certain conditions are gathered, maybe he can see the past again.

Steward Lu left the castle and went to the stables, and stood silently in the cold wind for a long time, but nothing happened.

"I'm going to go in and look for it now," Steward Lu asked Bai Zhu, "Do you want to come in together?"

"Okay." Bai Zhu readily agreed.

The stables near the castle were not too big or too small, and could hold about eight horses spaciously. After dismantling most of them, there were only two relatively complete stables left.Although Bai Zhu came in with Steward Lu to search for clues, but limited by the brightness, what he could find was limited, and the light from the phone screen could only illuminate a small area.

The darkness had little effect on Steward Lu, so he searched carefully.

Steward Lu looked for the basically abandoned side, and Bai Zhu walked towards the more complete horse room on the opposite side.There was a thick layer of dust on the door, this is a place that housekeeper Lu would not come to clean, Bai Zhu didn't care about the disgust, pushed the door open and walked in.

For the convenience of finding him, he bent down and let the phone take pictures of him inch by inch.

If you maintain this posture for a long time, you will feel sore back and back pain. When you can't bear it anymore, Bai Zhu stands up and intends to knock on his back. When he just stood up straight, his eyes were a little dark, and when he turned his hand holding the phone, the screen lighted up. It passed by, as if it caught an eye.

Bai Zhu: "..."

Bai Zhu silently lowered the hands that were clenched into fists on his back.

His heart was beating like a drum, but he moved the phone in front of him with a calm expression.

Right in front of Bai Zhu, there was a big hole where a hideous face with scars appeared.

He said why the cold wind suddenly stopped pouring into the stable.

Bai Zhu's calm expression cracked.

"Housekeeper Lu, help!!!!"

Click.

There was a sound of wood breaking.

In order to prevent the horses from suddenly going crazy and breaking free from their restraints, the wooden walls of the stables are not thin.Mrs. Tulum placed her hand in the hole and easily broke off a piece of wood.

"I really didn't expect you to be here, Steward Lu." Mrs. Tulun said with her lips curled up.

Steward Lu stretched out his hand and pulled Bai Zhu out of the horse room, pulled him behind him, and stared at Mrs. Tulun vigilantly.

Mrs. Tulun smiled sweetly, but her face burned by the holy water hadn't recovered yet, and that smile was like a ghost.

She broke off the piece of wood as if it was just a casual greeting, or a small warning.She slipped out of their sight like a ghost, but soon reappeared at the entrance to the stables.

The clouds moved quietly, and a ray of moonlight escaped from the gap.

Even Bai Zhu saw the cold light reflected from the sharp knife in Mrs. Tulun's hand.

Bai Zhu suddenly realized how small the stable was.

At this moment, Mrs. Tulun seemed to have finally transformed into the boss of the horror game in his memory. A crazy smile appeared on her ferocious face, and she rushed forward at a terrifying speed, waving the sharp knife in her hand.

However, the stables, which were originally considered dilapidated, retained some main structures at the bottom, which almost became a cage to control them.

Steward Lu was as fast as Mrs. Tulum, but there was still a white chase behind him.Bai Zhu thought about running away so as not to hurt Steward Lu, but the direction of Mrs. Tulun's attack just blocked his way of retreat.

hiss.

The blade tore through the clothes on Steward Lu's shoulders, bringing out a string of blood beads, and Steward Lu also took advantage of this injury to find an opportunity, stretched out his hand and pushed Bai Zhu into the horse room he had just searched for.

He couldn't control the strength of his mind, Bai Zhu was pushed down to the ground, but he got up immediately.Facing the sudden attack, Bai Zhu's mind, which was blank in the face of the sudden attack, now understood Steward Lu's intentions. Now that he could easily attack Madam Tulun in the direction where he had a chance to escape, he could still crawl out of the hole between the horses.

The hole that wasn't big enough was enough for him to climb out after Mrs. Tulum broke off the piece of wood!

Mrs. Tulun looked coldly at Butler Lu who was guarding the door of the horse room.

Her raised hand was about to swing the sharp knife down again, aiming at Butler Lu's neck.

This time Steward Lu couldn't avoid it, but he could still catch the blade with his hands.

Bai Zhu got up grabbing the weeds on the ground, and a cold object was grabbed together and fell into his palm.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

[Condition 1: The last letter between the Tulun couple (completed)]

[Condition 2: Cufflinks left in the stables (completed)]

[Condition 3: People who are present at the same time - Mrs. Tulun & Steward Lu (completed)]

[Unlock "Memory Fragment: Steward Lu ([-])"]

Bai Zhu stared blankly at the four lines of characters that suddenly appeared in front of him.

What's happening here? !

……

As imagined, the pain that almost cut the palm of the hand did not come.

A ray of moon fell on Butler Lu's hand, and when he closed his palms, it seemed as if he had grasped the ray of moonlight in his palm.

Steward Lu looked up at the roof of the stable. A small part of the roof of the stable was broken, so there was such a ray of moon.But despite the incompleteness, the roof is still complete.

Not what the stables should look like after most of them have been demolished.

There was a heavy but stable breathing sound in his ears, which is often not the case when people fall asleep. This breathing sound comes from animals, such as horses.

Steward Lu's eyes flicked over the four-line characters that inexplicably appeared in the void, and then looked in the direction of the voice.A tall stallion among the horses was asleep at this time, and Bai Zhu was almost touching it at this time, hugging his knees and daring not to move, for fear of waking up the sleeping horse and being kicked.

Bai Zhu is here too?

Butler Lu was a little surprised.Bai Zhu also opened his eyes wide to look at him.

Steward Lu opened his mouth to speak.

"Hush—" Bai Zhu put his index finger in front of his mouth, signaling Steward Lu to silence. He lowered the volume of his hiss, and then he bent his index finger and pointed at the sleeping horse beside him.

Steward Lu: "..."

Butler Lu was silent for a moment.

Then he said with a very normal volume in Baizhu's frightened eyes: "It's okay, it shouldn't be able to hear."

As he spoke, he walked into the stable—through the door, straight in.

He stretched out his hand to pull up Bai Zhu who looked so shocked that he was about to go stupid.

"Do you know what's going on now?" Bai Zhu asked in an unbelievable voice.When he was pulled up by Steward Lu, he accidentally touched the horse, and just like Steward Lu passed through the door, his palm passed through the horse.

It seems that the two of them are dead now, existing in the world in the form of souls.

Butler Lu nodded: "We should have come to the past - we can't say that, to be precise, we have seen the past, we only exist as bystanders, we can't change what has happened, people in the past can't see us, Nor can we touch objects, living or dead, that existed in the past."

"How did you know?" Bai Zhu was shocked, the scene changed suddenly, he was still in a daze until now, was Steward Lu's mind spinning too fast?

In fact, Steward Lu was also in a daze for a long time when he went back to the past for the first time, but Youdao was once acquainted with him, so he quickly realized this time.

"This is not the first time I have encountered such a thing." Steward Lu told Bai Zhu, "It seems that after collecting certain conditions, you can go back to the past for a short time. I came to the stable this time with the hope of triggering the conditions. "

Steward Lu gestured in front of the place where the handwriting had disappeared: "I just saw four lines of writing in front of me, which should be the conditions for returning to the past. Have you seen it?"

Bai Zhu saw it.

His mind was a mess.

Those words are the words of the system... But as an NPC, Steward Lu, how could he see the words of the system?

A conjecture suddenly popped up in Bai Zhu's mind, and this conjecture was shrouded in mist. Before he had time to clear the mist, a word suddenly sounded and interrupted his conjecture.

A woman's voice sounded: "You really know."

The author has something to say: Butler Lu is real.
