I rely on otome games to play through the escape world

It is impossible to provoke.

Even if there is no personal mission, Xu Wenhao still wants to live well.

"Perhaps there is a gentler way." He tried to suggest.

"Gentle?" Lu Yu smiled, "For example?"

"Uh, for example, can you convince the Earl?" Xu Wenhao said without confidence.

Convince the boss?

If Lu Yu heard this proposal at first, he would only feel that this person has a hole in his head.

But recalling what the other party did before, he said, "That's right, since the boss likes you and gave you a token of love, you should be able to 'persuade' him to let us go, right?"

Xu Wenhao: I feel like I dug a hole for myself.

Lu Yu: "What to do is your choice. But if you don't do it, there is only this last resort."

He motioned to take the cross.

Xu Wenhao had no choice but to take it away.

Because of the stand-in, the Earl should not easily hurt him.But if he just said frankly that he wanted to leave, he might not have the kindness to let him go directly.

Have to think of a better reason.

Lu Yu: "We don't have much time, we must do it within today at the latest."

So fast?

Xu Wenhao is not ready yet.

It is not incomprehensible.If we wait until tomorrow, another person will be taken away.

Even if the door has not been opened—judging from the situation so far, the butler cannot open the room.If you don't open the door all the time, you won't be taken away.

But this also presents a problem.

The first person to open the door means death.And if everyone is on guard not to open the room, they will be trapped in it forever.Unable to advance the plot until starved to death.

So, time is running out.

"The basic situation is like this." Lu Yu said, "Next, I'm going to find the place of sacrifice. How about you, come with me?"

Xu Wenhao paused.

According to the original plan, he originally planned to search the butler's room.Go find the so-called "way to kill the boss".But now that you've got it, there's no need for it.

For the sake of efficiency, it is better to act separately here.

He shook his head: "I'll go find the count."

To be precise, to the earl's room.I sneaked in yesterday, but failed to investigate.

Lu Yu misunderstood what he meant, and raised his eyebrows: "Is that so, it's also good to communicate with each other."

Xu Wenhao laughed dryly.

I always feel that something is wrong.Does it mean that the other party has fully accepted the setting of "love at first sight"?

That's about it.Lu Yu got up and was about to leave, but before leaving, he used the "connection" skill on Xu Wenhao.

Xu Wenhao's forehead was patted lightly, and he felt a rush of heat.Then, I heard Lu Yu's voice resounding in my mind.

【Can you hear me? 】

Lu Yu looked at him without moving his lips.

Xu Wenhao nodded in surprise.

It turns out that this skill can be used without words.

Lu Yu: [I forgot to mention one more thing about the "Link" skill.After the connection is successful, I can use the natural skills of the connection object at will]

Xu Wenhao: Huh?

Wait, isn't his super embarrassing and tasteless skill exposed? !

Lu Yu: "Well, your innate skill is..."

Xu Wenhao: "Wait, wait, wait!"

He was very flustered.

"The second heroine..." Lu Yu read out, "Blessing?"

His expression was a little confused, as if he didn't quite understand the meaning of the skill name.

Xu Wenhao shook his head.

He knew that there was definitely a wall between otaku and Xianchong!The other party can't even understand their nouns!

Lu Yu was silent for a while, as if he was checking the skill description.Shaoqing said: "I understand."

No do you really understand.

Xu Wenhao calmed down a bit: "I know my skills may not be useful, but..."

"No," Lu Yu interrupted, "Your skills are very powerful."

Xu Wenhao was moved: "I didn't expect you to comfort people."

"I didn't comfort you." Lu Yu pushed down his glasses, "I'll just say rubbish skills - rubbish."

He speaks clearly, especially the word "garbage" at the end is specially emphasized.

Xu Wenhao: There is no need to emphasize it.

Lu Yu: "Have you read your own skill introduction?"

Xu Wenhao nodded: "I've used it too. The effect is the same as the option box that appears when playing an otome game. Ah, do you know what an otome game is?"

He was about to explain, but was interrupted.

"That's not important." Lu Yu said, "In short, this skill has a key description."

"'After the player makes a choice, he will ignore all objective factors and act according to the choice unconditionally.'"

"What do you think that means?"

Xu Wenhao was stunned for a moment.

He also saw this passage at the time.However, due to preconceptions, I did not think about it.He thought that three options appeared out of thin air for him to choose.

Now that Lu Yu brought it up again, I realized that I had overlooked a very important point.

"Ignore all objective factors." Xu Wenhao murmured.

"That's right." Lu Yu nodded, "Even a physical waste like you, as long as you use this skill, you can do things that you can't do normally."

Xu Wenhao: "Stop using me as an example!"

But this made him completely understand what Lu Yu meant.

For example, the option "Kick him chirping" appeared when he used his skills for the first time.

At the time, I thought it was unreliable, so I didn't choose it.Thinking about it now, if he really chose it, he would definitely be able to successfully kick the black shadow "chirp".

perhaps.

Lu Yu pulled the corner of his mouth, seemingly smiling.

"I don't want anything to go wrong again, just try to live on."

After that, Lu Yu left the room.According to the other party, it is time to race against time.

Xu Wenhao let out a long breath.

Although the other party spoke very viciously, it gave him a little confidence in the end.At least my natural skills are not as useless as I thought.

Then he also has to hurry up.

As soon as he opened the door, he met a pair of dark buttonholes.Bear Muppet sat across the corridor, facing his door.

Inexplicably, he saw a sadness in the pair of sewn buttons.

Xu Wenhao: "..."

Forget about this stuff.

The count's room is located on the third floor.

The earl should be reading in the study at this point, so he won't bump into it.

The puppet bear also followed.

Because he was going to search its owner's room, Xu Wenhao was actually a little guilty.But he couldn't get rid of it, so he could only let it follow.

Maybe the other party can open the door for him.

Xu Wenhao thought without expecting.

However, the earl's room was not locked.

He panicked when the door was easily pushed open, thinking that the count was inside.It wasn't until he saw that there was no one in the room that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Like other rooms, the earl's room was also airtight with thick curtains drawn.

He walked in and closed the door behind his back—before that, the bear squeezed in too.

I looked at it hastily yesterday, but today I discovered that there is a drawer under the countertop where the roses are placed.

He tried to pull it, but couldn't.

Sure enough, it will not be so easy.

Just when he was about to find other clues first, Little Bear jumped up and split open the cabinet.

"!"

Do you want to be so cruel.

The body of the cabinet was split in half, and all the contents inside spilled out.

Rose fell down, Xu Wenhao hurried to catch it.It failed to catch it, and the vase fell on the carpet, cracking the body of the bottle.Rose petals are also scattered a lot.

Broke the present for the boss.

Xu Wenhao looked at the mess silently, then turned his head to look at Little Bear, and asked expressionlessly, "You will be responsible, right?"

Bear put away the kitchen knife.

Xu Wenhao: This bear.

He just wanted to investigate, not sabotage.The matter has come to this point, there is nothing to do, and we must retreat before the Earl finds out.

He turned his gaze back to the split cabinet, and there was a notebook under the cabinet.

After taking it out to look at it, I realized that it was the earl's diary.

In order to complete the story for players, the clues of most horror games appear in the form of diaries or notes.

But after opening it, I realized that this is not so much a diary, but more like a notebook for recording.It records in detail the "sacrifice" method and materials.It's all sorted out from books.

And to the back, it is a detailed implementation plan.

[July 7, this day is his birthday.I want to see him]

Seeing this sentence, Xu Wenhao paused.

The earl's "lover" had the same birthday as him.Not only are they similar in appearance, but also such a coincidence?

[On July 7, all materials were ready.The housekeeper has been notified to dismiss the servants and cannot be disturbed by anyone]

[The sacrifice will be carried out between night and dawn, I am a little nervous]

[What to say in the first sentence.Welcome home? ]

This is the last word.Perhaps because of excitement, it is obvious that the handwriting is slightly distorted compared to the previous one.

If I turn it over later, there are no words. This notebook has no ending.

But what happened after that is pretty clear.The sacrifice failed, the earl suffered a backlash, and the whole house was shrouded in thick fog.

Xu Wenhao turned forward and turned back.

There are two points of interest here.

The sacrifice time is set on "July 7", and it is the time when night and day alternate.

If you want to revive your "lover", you must choose the date of birth of the other party.The specific time is also stipulated by the ceremony.

Then reverse it.If you wait until daytime to "open the door", can you escape the sacrifice?

As for the second point, the notes stated that "the housekeeper has been notified to dismiss the servants", and for the smooth progress of the ceremony, "no one can disturb".

But obviously, judging from the current situation, the servants did not leave.Instead, he turned into a monster because the ritual failed.

Xu Wenhao didn't think the Earl would risk the "ceremony".Could it be that the butler didn't follow the earl's order?He wants to interfere with the ceremony?

Xu Wenhao felt that he was getting closer to the truth.

The butler's attitude towards the Earl was obviously perfunctory.He thought it was due to the failure of the ceremony, but it didn't seem to be the case.

The other party had no plans from the beginning.Deliberately interfering with the ceremony must be for some personal reason, but unexpectedly, it trapped himself instead.

"...That's why sacrifices are needed."

Xu Wenhao was talking to himself.

Why does the housekeeper take people to the sacrificial place every day.Lu Yu said before that he wanted to escape. Although he felt that something was wrong at the time, he couldn't find any other reason.

Thinking about it now, it's impossible.

It is clearly recorded in the book, [A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye].If you sacrifice your "life" in order to "escape", the price is obviously unequal.

What's more, the butler specially prepared props to kill the count.If it can be successful, there is no need to overdo it.

Maybe... looking for a substitute.

A thought flashed through Xu Wenhao's mind.

The ceremony failed.Both the earl and the servants paid the price, and the butler, who was the culprit, could not be unscathed.

So it is likely that, because of the count's wrath, the steward had to repeat the sacrifice every day.

And the sacrifice that was supposed to be sacrificed might be the steward himself.

After that, Xu Wenhao searched around the room again, but found no other clues.

When he was about to leave, a bullet screen appeared in front of him.

【where is this place?Like a bedroom? 】

[Did I miss the plot again! 】

Already this late?

Now that the live broadcast has started, it means that it is past noon.Gotta act fast.

He went out the door.

Originally, during the search, I was always on tenterhooks, worried that the earl would come back suddenly, but luckily he didn't.

It's just that the cabinet destroyed by that bear can't be solved.Once the count returned to the room, he would definitely notice that someone had come in.

Thinking of this, Xu Wenhao felt like stepping on the bear again.

Before going to the study, Xu Wenhao went to the courtyard again.As in previous days, the outside is still filled with fog.The daylight is blocked and it looks gloomy and gloomy.

He hurriedly took off the roses and went back to the study, knocking on the door cautiously.

Then, push the door and enter.

Then in an instant, the eyes were flooded with barrage.

[Ah ah ah ah ah, I miss you so much, Earl! 】

[Today's beauty is also working hard to open]

【Lick lick lick】

Same as when we first met, the young earl held a book in his hand.As if waiting for a long time, he closed the book when he came in.

The white shirt is covered with a dark green vest, no matter how many times you see it, you will feel very clean.

It's hard to imagine a monster in human skin.

Xu Wenhao paused and closed the door behind him.
