The fake young master is being targeted by the paranoid real young master

"You mean... I'm wearing a book?"

【Yes. 】

"Do you still want to live here as a fake young master Lin Yu?"

【Yes. 】

After finishing the question and answer with the system, Lin Yu's vision went dark.

Thinking of the ending of the fake young master in the novel...

What's the point if you have to suffer that kind of horrific pain in exchange for rebirth?

[Don't worry about this, you don't need to bear that, you just need to let He Dongyu's "hatred value" towards you be full, and the mission will be considered complete. 】

Hate value?

Is it the progress bar on He Dongyu's head?

[That's right, the progress bar represents the degree of He Dongyu's hatred for you, and the number next to it represents the "blackening value". A full hatred point will not pose a threat to your personal safety, but the blackening value will . 】

[We have also arranged other traversers before, unfortunately, most of them were eliminated by He Dongyu, whose blackness value soared and completely ran away within a few days.Therefore, Chuanshuju believes that there must be some kind of "unstable factors" that will cause the story to deviate from the track. 】

[So, your task is not only to find out this "unstable factor", but also to ensure that He Dongyu's hatred towards you, that is, the fake young master, is full while ensuring that He Dongyu is not completely blackened. This allowed him to further find out his life experience, return to the Lin family, and complete the original plot of the novel. 】

"..."

Why does it sound so complicated?

And... why does this mission sound a little dangerous?

None of the previous traversers succeeded...

[If the task is completed, you will not only have a new life, but the bookstore will also pay you a bonus, so that you can live comfortably in the real world. 】

The system leads the way.

It said it lightly, but Lin Yu was in a cold sweat: "Then what if I can't complete the task?"

[If the plot develops to the point of no return, the book walker will immediately lose the chance of rebirth and die physically. 】

[Therefore, there is only one chance, so you must seize it. 】

"..."

After listening, Lin Yu didn't know whether to thank Chuanshuju for giving him a chance to be reborn, or to scold them for kidnapping him to do the task.

"System, why couldn't I speak just now?" He suddenly remembered something.

[Because according to the original plot of the novel, the real young master needs to be locked in the basement. If the system detects that this behavior will have a major impact on the subsequent plot, it will warn the tasker. 】

It turned out to be the case.

It seems that blindly pleasing He Dongyu is not going to work, he has to change his strategy.

Lin Yu didn't know whether everything in front of him was a blessing or a curse, and he didn't know what was waiting for him in front of him.

But to have a chance to be reborn is already considered a great gift from God.

However, as long as I think of the painful description of the fake young master at the end of the novel, I can't help but tremble all over.

Moreover, from now on, he will often face He Dongyu's icy face...

Hey.

I hope that I can already complete the task and return to the real world with the task bonus.

"Guru~"

Not long after Lin Yu ate the dinner brought by the butler, he didn't expect to be hungry again so quickly.

Although his current status is a pampered young master, his long-term independent life has not allowed him to develop the habit of ordering others, and he has never thought that he can directly ask the housekeeper to bring him some food.

Lin Yu got out of bed, put on a thin silk pajamas and a pair of fur slippers, opened the door and went out.

His sense of direction is very poor, but the forest house is very big, it took him a lot of time just to find the stairs.

Fortunately, there were a few lights left on the first floor, so he walked around and finally found the location of the restaurant.

He stopped by the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

There was a lot to eat, so Lin Yu took a few buns and put them in the microwave for a bit.

After heating up, he picked up a steamed stuffed bun, and just about to stuff it into his mouth impatiently——

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The voice from nowhere startled Lin Yu.

The buns in his hand almost fell to the ground.

A gust of cool air suddenly came in from the half-opened window of the kitchen, the lights in the room flickered suddenly, and the window coffin made of nanmu was also blown to make a sound of rinsing, just like the plot in a horror movie.

Lin Yu was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

It is said that the old house is very dark... Is this house haunted?

He frantically found a kraft paper bag in the kitchen, stuffed two freshly warmed buns into it, and was about to go back to his dormitory immediately.

However, he thought he was going back along the original path, but when he walked to the end of the corridor, he realized that the path in front of him was not upward, but a winding, obviously spiral staircase leading underground.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The voice came again, more clearly.

Lin Yu poked his head and glanced at the dark underground floor.

For some reason, my curiosity was suddenly aroused.

He took a deep breath and walked down the steps slowly while touching the wall.

In the empty corridor, only the sound of slippers "slapping" echoed.

At this time, the sound of "dong dong dong" sounded again, and the volume was obviously much louder than before.

Lin Yu followed the direction it came from, and finally found the location of the voice.

However, when he walked to the door, the voice inside the door stopped abruptly.

Lin Yu put his ear to the door and listened for a while, then tried to turn the doorknob - no surprise, it was locked.

"He, He Dongyu, is that you?"

He tried to call softly, but no one responded.

Just as Lin Yu was about to turn around and leave, there was another loud bang behind him.

Surprised, he immediately turned back and slammed the door several times: "He Dongyu! Are you okay?"

After a few minutes, Lin Yu saw that there was no movement inside at all, so he was spinning around in a hurry.

Although He Dongyu's injury was not serious, but he didn't bandage it in time, what if the wound got infected?

Moreover, he hasn't eaten since he was locked up, will he faint from hunger?

Next to it was a low cabinet with a spare key on it.

Lin Yu hesitated.

During the day, he tried to order the housekeeper to let He Dongyu go, but was blocked by the system.

If he opens the door now, he wonders if there will be any unpredictable consequences.

However, life and death are at stake, if He Dongyu dies now, wouldn't he never be able to complete the task?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu made up his mind, picked up the key on the low cabinet, and inserted it into the lock.

"Squeak-"

The door was pushed open.

It was pitch black inside, like a bottomless abyss, and nothing could be seen.

The basement was humid and cold at night, and Lin Yu shivered several times due to the cool wind blowing from nowhere. The gloomy environment made him forget to check He Dongyu's life and death, and wanted to leave.

But at this moment, a black shadow quickly jumped out from the corner.

Lin Yu looked back subconsciously when he heard the movement, and was caught off guard by a pair of big hands and dragged him into the room where he couldn't see his fingers!

Help--!

Yet he was completely speechless.

His mouth was covered, and the door was kicked shut after he entered the room.

Lin Yu was so frightened that his whole body became stiff, and the blood on his face completely faded.

Half of the slippers on my feet were lost, and the buns in my hands had already fallen to the ground, and I don't know where they rolled.

Stepping on the cold ground with bare feet, the body is colder than the soles of the feet.

Lin Yu struggled non-stop with "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu who can't break free at all.

Just when he thought he was about to suffocate, the people behind him suddenly relaxed a little.

Lin Yu took the opportunity to push him away, and searched for the wall for a long time but couldn't find the exit, so he ran to the corner and squatted down helplessly.

His heartbeat was unbelievably fast, and he was panting heavily.

There were no windows in the house, and he could see nothing.

The only thing he could perceive was a breathing sound that obviously did not belong to him.

Nerves tense up again.

Lin Yu was sure that the person in front of him was He Dongyu.

But what was he trying to do by dragging himself into the house?

Could it be that he wants to avenge the day's events?

Hey……

After all, he still failed to live up to the expectations of wearing a bookstore.

Became the traverser with the shortest life span in history.

Lin Yu thought he was about to game over.

I thought of what the system had just said to me not long ago.

I also thought of the cruel description at the end of the novel, after the fake young master was imprisoned in a small black room...

Lin Yu's brain was about to shut down.

All the emotions of fear burst out at this moment.

Facing the fear of the unknown, he hugged his knees and curled up into a ball. His instinctive desire to survive made him forget about maintaining his character, and he cried cowardly——

"Please don't kill me!"
