The boss actually opened a cute new trumpet!

On rainy nights, this Howard Endor looks even more empty and cold.

At this moment, a slight "click" sound suddenly came from the direction of the mechanical elevator.

Su Buyu hid behind the curtain and looked in the direction of the mechanical elevator door vigilantly.

The door closed to the sides, revealing the people inside.

She lifted the hem of her skirt, fixed her eyes on the lowered bed curtain, tiptoed, and approached cautiously.

However, she didn't pay attention to her feet, and kicked the trip wire at the door.

"Dang--"

Two stained glass vases suspended in the air were pulled and collided.

Elizabeth was startled, and immediately looked up in the direction of the sound.

She looked around the trip bell and frowned.

Is this really something an npc can make?

She coughed lightly, "Brother? Brother Nicholas?"

She stopped and looked across the room.

After confirming that there was no one in the room, she walked towards the bed again.

She carefully raised the bed curtain, but she didn't find anyone.

Strange, where did Nicholas go?

Elizabeth relaxed and sank down on the soft velvet bed.

"This is difficult. Where can he go? Could it be that the riot just now has something to do with him? Tsk, it's really causing trouble for my brother."

Her expression changed, she was neither shy nor alarmed.

She was like a man sitting with legs spread apart, arms folded, thinking carefully.

However, after thinking about it for a while, she hugged her head uncomfortably.

"That guy's intelligence-reducing skill is really powerful. Even in the next trial field, it can still affect me. Just thinking about it a little bit makes my brain hurt."

She closed her eyes and meditated, motionless.

This was a good opportunity for a sneak attack, but Su Buyu still didn't move.

After a while, Elizabeth suddenly opened her eyes.

"Is there really no one?" She murmured, putting away the table knife hidden in layers of lace.

As soon as he entered this trial field, he knew that the difficulty here must not be the kind he usually experienced. Such a complete world view and background story are not simple at first glance. The blow, there is no way to do anything, so I have to act on instinct.

He saw that he had turned into a little girl. Yes, he was originally a man, but this time he was bumped into the little girl's body. He thought it would be easy to dress himself up, but unexpectedly, he really He couldn't adapt to this body that was so weak that he would stumble even when he took a big step. Moreover, he suspected that this body had some congenital disease, otherwise why he would always fall when he walked.

The first thing that caught his attention was the young master Patrick who snatched the right to speak, and the second was the young master with the "Arsonist" sign on his head. At least one of them must be a tester.

However, unlike others, he was not so suspicious of Nicholas, who showed his characteristics as a tester when he came here—that brand. What he suspected was the young master Patrick who always showed himself as an NPC. He always felt that There is a problem with this perfect npc.

So, when the two of them got together, he would run the risk of revealing himself... Ah, this dress and this body are very difficult to use.

Since you can't pretend to be an npc, then pretend to be a simple-minded tester, at least it can let the two of them relax their vigilance, and it can also let him hear more news.

As a result, he was even more convinced that Nicholas, who appeared to be a tester, should be an npc, while Patrick, who appeared to be an npc, should be a more advanced tester, and his weakness was being touched by others.

Elizabeth stared at the simple trip bell at the door, and couldn't help asking herself: If Nicholas was an NPC, why did he arrange this thing?

He glanced out of the window inadvertently, and was suddenly attracted by something, and walked slowly, step by step.

He pressed the gray glass window with both hands, and the clock tower in the distance was reflected in his emerald eyes.

He seemed to be looking at a beautiful woman who was overwhelmed by the country, with a greedy expression on his face.

Suddenly, his shoulder was heavy, as if he had been hit hard by someone.

Elizabeth suddenly woke up, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

What happened to him just now?

He looked at the people next to him warily.

Nicholas Su Buyu was staring at him deeply, "My sister, do you know that I saved your life? You are too reckless."

what?

Elizabeth pretended to be silly and said sweetly: "Brother, what was that just now? I think that clock tower is very charming, I can't help it..."

Su Buyu asked earnestly, "Do you really want to know?"

Elizabeth nodded quickly.

Su Buyu kept a straight face, "That's a..."

Elizabeth pricked up her ears.

"……Secret."

Elizabeth: "..."

Grass!

Su Buyu: "Have you seen what happened just now?"

Elizabeth's eyes wandered for a moment, "No..."

"Did you hear the singing just now?"

Elizabeth: "Nor..."

"You should know about the coming crisis, right?"

"No……"

Even he himself couldn't bear to say it.

He was locked in the mechanical elevator just now. He wanted to go back to his room but he didn't know which button to press. He was worried that pressing the wrong button would put him in danger, so he didn't dare to press any button. What puzzled him most was Why even the hall is represented by a flower pattern, he can't go back to the hall even if he wants to.

He has been staying in the mechanical elevator, and now he only knows what the flowers belonging to Nicholas' room are. He was trying to find an excuse to go back, when he suddenly heard a strange sound, like singing, but it was not clear, so he took this opportunity When he came back to Nicholas' room, he almost had an accident unexpectedly.

Su Buyu looked at him sternly: "Why don't you know anything? Is your brain empty?"

"..."

Now that the situation is unclear, he endured it.

Su Buyu sighed: "Elizabeth, if you have been so stupid, I have to worry about whether you can live well here."

Elizabeth raised her head abruptly, "What do you mean?"

"Don't you find that this Howard Manor is full of weirdness?"

Before he could speak, Su Buyu asked himself and replied, "Ah, you must not have noticed."

"I have to say, I have seen so many testers, you are the stupidest one."

Elizabeth: "..."

I was blamed for being degraded by someone?

no, wait...

"Trialist..."

The silly and sweet smile that Elizabeth had been trying to show on her face subsided, and he stared at Su Buyu deeply: "So, you admit it."

Su Buyu didn't speak, Yan Ash's eyes were full of sarcasm.

"It seems that you are not fake stupid, you are really stupid."

"you……"

Su Buyu said first: "If I am really a tester, will I tell you directly?"

It also makes sense.

What Elizabeth was thinking didn't show on his face at all. Instead, he said: "The sign above your head has exposed your true identity, and it's useless for you to hide it."

"Heh." Su Buyu sneered.

"Do you know what the sign on my head is for?"

"What is it for?" Elizabeth buttoned the table knife hidden in her sleeve.

Su Buyu leaned down, obviously he was still a young master with baby fat, but he took advantage of his height to press down on Elizabeth who was shorter than him.

"It's designed to fool those idiots who see a punishment sign and think that person is a tester."

Elizabeth: "..."

"There are so many skills and items in the world of Jinzihai. Isn't there a way to cover up the sign on the top of the head? A tester has the ability to get such a sign punishment, so naturally he also has the ability to get a way to hide this thing, but I just like this Running around carelessly with the head on top, how could a practitioner be so stupid?" Su Buyu spoke nonsense without changing his face.

Elizabeth felt that what he said was also very reasonable.

"Do you think I'll believe you when you say that?" Elizabeth chuckled, crossing her arms. "The more you say you're an NPC, the more I think you're a tester."

This is a verbal and psychological contest, whoever shakes first loses first.

But Su Buyu knew that he would never be the loser.

He took a step back, "Since you don't believe it, forget it, I wanted to save your life."

He turned around, as if defenseless against Elizabeth, and showed his back.

Elizabeth's fingertips rested on the blade of the knife.

Seeing him drifting away, as if he was going to take a mechanical ladder, he immediately asked, "What are you going to do?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew that he had lost the confrontation.

Elizabeth scratched her bangs irritably, "Okay, I believe you, please speak clearly."

"The npc in the trial ground can choose an agent to help him win."

"But what good does it do you?"

Su Buyu turned around and glanced at him coolly, "It's my pleasure to play with the tester, and you can't experience my pleasure."

Oh, so angry!

Elizabeth: "Can't you talk nicely?"

"Sorry, I can't, because I'm an NPC, and my personality has already been set. If I hate you, I'm expressing my love for you. Dear experimenter, don't misunderstand my heart." Su Buyu said seriously, Reply coldly.

Elizabeth; "Okay... okay."

That's right, if Nicholas hadn't set up this cold and vicious tongue from the beginning, Nicholas wouldn't still be that popular when he won his trust just now.

At this time, Elizabeth had already believed in the fact that Nicholas was an NPC.

"Now, can you tell me something about this house? Where did the singing just now come from? Also, since you are an NPC in the proving ground, you should know that the mission of the proving ground is what?"

Su Buyu stood at the door, raising his chin: "I need to tell you everything, but what do you want to do?"

Elizabeth: "Little child, don't think that you are small and cute, so I can't do anything about you."

Su Buyu pretended to say: "Oh, sister Elizabeth, what can you do to me? Do you want to use your little fist to hang down my chest?"

Su Buyu continued to insert the knife: "You are not as strong or tall as I am now."

Elizabeth choked.

How can even children be so angry and harmful now!

It's still because of his unlucky life, he always meets this kind of people in the golden word sea, there is Su Beep in front, and Nicholas in the back.

Su Buyu pressed the door of the mechanical elevator.

Elizabeth looked at him suspiciously.

Su Buyu said lightly: "The singing just now was the singing of a witch. On St. Valentine's Day, they will sacrifice the city. If they really achieve this goal, then the people in the whole city will Everyone will die, this is the end of all the testers, do you want this end?"

Elizabeth looked at him speechlessly.

Su Buyu took the lead to enter the door: "Let's go, I'll show you around first."

Elizabeth also wanted to know who the flowers suddenly represented, so he hurriedly followed.

Since they had already explained each other, Elizabeth didn't have to pretend anymore. He folded his arms, leaning against the wall in the mechanical elevator, and asked, "What should I call you? Don't you have another name?"

Su Buyu's eyes didn't deviate much: "You can call me brother."

Elizabeth: "...you really have the same skin as someone I know."

Su Buyu: "Then you are so powerful, you can see people from the skin to the bone."

Elizabeth: "..."

Why did he feel that what Nicholas said was not a good one?

Su Buyu pressed a button casually, and the mechanical ladder started to move.

Elizabeth asked, "Where are we going now?"

Su Buyu put on an inscrutable expression.

Elizabeth had no choice but to stop asking, because she would know anyway.

When the door of the mechanical elevator opened again, it was facing a door carved with various flowers.

Of course Su Buyu didn't know where that button would take them, but no matter where it took him, he had the ability to pretend that this was where he was going.

Elizabeth glanced at him: "What are you bringing me to the door for?"

Su Buyu didn't answer him, and stepped out of the mechanical ladder with an attitude of "I just make sense".

Elizabeth trailed behind him.

"Master, Miss." A sudden voice sounded in a dark corner.

The two looked at the same time, only to see the old butler in Howard's mansion standing there, bending down towards them.

"Are you two going out?"

Elizabeth immediately turned behind Su Buyu, making a ladylike gesture.

Su Buyu looked at the old housekeeper coldly, without saying a word.

The old butler: "Yes, I will prepare the car for you."

He turned and disappeared into the darkness again.

Elizabeth stared there for a while: "Is he gone?"

Su Buyu still didn't speak.

Elizabeth raised her elbow to bend Su Buyu, but Su Buyu didn't move.

After a while, the old butler came back again, still holding two black umbrellas in his hand.

"It's still raining outside, please be careful when the young master and miss go out, the car has already parked outside."

Su Buyu took the two umbrellas.

"Oh, that's right." The old butler said slowly: "It is easy to encounter witches at night, and the Howard family has always been cursed by witches, so please be careful, young master and miss, not to die easily outside."

As he spoke, he twitched the wrinkled skin at the corners of his mouth, and cracked a smile that was more appropriate to say that it was friendly rather than scary.

Su Buyu remained motionless, nodded slightly, turned around and walked out the door.

The old housekeeper lowered his shoulders, looking quietly at the back of the two who left.

The door of Howard Mansion was very thick, and because of the heavy rain outside, it was even more troublesome to open the door.

Elizabeth was thinking about how to open the door.

But Su Buyu stopped in front of the door, and said coldly: "Housekeeper, it seems that you are really old. Does the master need to do even such a trivial thing as opening the door?"

The old housekeeper walked over slowly, "Young Master said so."

I saw him raise his hand, and with only one person's strength, he pushed open the huge door that was three people tall.

No, there must be something wrong here.

Elizabeth looked from the old butler to the gate.

Su Buyu walked out without looking sideways, and then was doused by the wind and rain.

In fact, his initial plan was not to go out first. He wanted to find out what the missions of the other testers were. Did he only have the choice of standing on the God of Mechanics or the Witch?In this world, are the two opposing sides, or the three pillars, or are there other forces involved?

Even when he got to the master's room, he could still use the previous lie, saying that he was helping his father prepare a gift for St. Valentine's Day, but unexpectedly, he actually picked the gate right away.

Sure enough, you can't trust your luck at any time.

Forget it, he also wants to see the whole picture of Howard Manor and the location of the clock tower, so come out as soon as you come out.

Su Buyu opened the umbrella slowly, and said to Elizabeth: "What are you waiting for?"

Elizabeth: "Don't you still have an umbrella in your hand? Why do you have to share one with me?"

Su Buyu smiled mockingly, "Oh, the human mind is really amazing. Why do you think I did this? It's not because you are small and weak, and you might not be able to beat such a heavy wind and rain."

He was horrified to find that he had already begun to get used to Nicholas' sarcasm.

"Oh."

Elizabeth was quite embarrassed, and he smiled, "Thank you, I didn't expect that there are good people among your npcs."

Su Buyu snorted lightly: "We are not such fragile creatures as humans."

Elizabeth had a "well, well, say what you like" look.

The two shared an umbrella and came to a steam car.

Su Buyu opened the car door and made a "please" gesture to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth waved her hand readily: "Don't be so troublesome, since you know that I am a tester, you should know that I am not the real Elizabeth, I am a man."

Su Buyu: "At least you are a woman now. Compared with human beings, the biggest advantage of our NPCs is that they lack hypocrisy and are loyal to their original settings."

Elizabeth had no choice but to get into the car with her skirt.

Su Buyu politely helped him lift up the corner of his skirt.

Elizabeth suddenly felt that he should be a good... npc.

The two sat in the back seat of the car, and the heavy rain washed violently against the window glass, making a "crackling" sound.

Su Buyu looked back at Howard Endor, which was drifting away.

There is a large garden in the manor, and the mansion is a Gothic castle. Next to the castle is the tall and slender bell tower.

The cover of the bell tower is very strange, like the hat on the witch's head he saw from the bubble.

Suddenly, Elizabeth touched him.

Su Buyu turned around.

Elizabeth gestured in the direction of the driver.

Su Buyu looked at it seriously.

Driving was a driver in uniform, hat and white gloves.

When the driver turned the steering wheel vigorously, a wrist made of steel, gears and leather was exposed at the edge of the white gloves and sleeves.

Su Buyu pressed the back of the front seat, stood up slightly, and saw the chin under the driver's hat, which was a piece of steel.

Suddenly, the driver turned his head 180 degrees, staring at Su Buyu and Elizabeth.

The horrifying trembling felt like a tiny electric current drilled into their bones.

Su Buyu seemed to have noticed something, grabbed Elizabeth's hand, and pressed the car door with the other hand.

"Run!" he yelled, yanking Elizabeth out of the car.

The robot driver's upper and lower jaws collided, as if laughing strangely.

Then, with a bang, the driver's body exploded, and the steam car was overturned by the force of the explosion, rolled several times and fell into the nearby cliff.

Elizabeth and Su Buyu fell into the puddle of mud.

Elizabeth looked up towards the cliff.

Suddenly, a strong force came from the back of his head, pushing him to the ground.

Elizabeth subconsciously wants to turn back.

Su Buyu roared angrily, "Don't move!"

Then, Su Buyu threw himself on him, covering his head with his arms.

"boom--"

Huge sparks exploded, and countless steel fragments splashed in all directions.

Only then did Elizabeth realize that this npc was protecting him!

He raised his eyes slightly, but saw the blood red on his sleeve.

His pupils quivered violently.

This...is Nicholas' blood.

He coughed, found his voice, and asked hoarsely, "Are you injured?"

Having done so many violent movements just now, it was also a burden for Su Buyu's current small body. He panted lightly and smiled.

"How could I just watch a lady get hurt in front of me?"

"You...I'm not a woman!"

"Oh." Su Buyu said lightly.

Elizabeth bowed her head.

"Thank you, even though you are an npc, I recognize you as a friend."

Su Buyu said coldly: "You don't have to think too much, I am an NPC, my death is not worth mentioning."

"That's not the case..." Elizabeth murmured.

He sighed deeply, "You are already a complete person in my eyes."

He shook his head and smiled, "Hello, my real name is Li Bai, and we will be buddies from now on."

"It is in this practice field, if you can come out in the future, it is also!"

"You saved my life, and you are my lifelong friend, Li Bai!"

Su Buyu was startled, but asked calmly, "Li Bai? Which Li Bai?"

"You are an NPC and may not know that celebrity, then... I am Muzi Li, so I understand."

Su Buyu: "..."

Tell me, talk about it, what kind of shit luck is this for the two of us, you still understand, I'm afraid you will never understand.

Li Dabai, Li Dabai, I obviously don't want to trap you alone, but why did you take the initiative to bump into my hand?

Then don't blame me, if you want to blame it, blame this damn luck.
