Chapter 49: Uncle is so fragrant

Coincidentally, other tourists who entered the haunted house also encountered similar situations as Lao Zhang and Lao Lin.

Lu Yiyi and Jiang Qi are a young couple. Lu Yiyi is a native of Jinan City, while Jiang Qi is from a remote area. Although Jiang Qi has various minor flaws, Lu Yiyi has always been very tolerant of her boyfriend because he came to Jinan City for her, and the two have been in love since their sophomore year until graduation.

The two were fans of the Fantasy Park, a must-visit every weekend. Since the park's Haunted House had opened today, they naturally showed up to see it. They'd been to haunted houses before, but the formula was pretty much the same: scary lights and sounds, with an NPC playing the ghost. They'd long since lost interest in haunted houses, and their enthusiasm for the Fantasy Haunted House was driven by the park's high-tech appeal. Unexpectedly, after opening a wooden door adorned with a photo of a sinister-looking boy, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place, their identities altered.

It was a magnificent aristocratic manor with an architectural style never seen before, a vast horse farm with dozens of horses, a huge garden with fountains and swimming pools, a hall with luxurious chandeliers and enough space for hundreds of people to dance at the same time... and all of this now belonged to Jiang Qi.

Yes, Jiang Qi's identity became the owner of this aristocratic manor, a Marquis named Marchi, and Lu Yiyi became a maid in the manor and also the mistress of Marquis Marchi.

At first, they both thought it was just part of a holographic game; after all, they could both recognize each other. But after a day, two days, and finally a month without a response from the park's customer service, they gradually gave up hope, believing they weren't playing a game, but rather had traveled through time after opening that wooden door.

After all, everything including eating, drinking, defecating and urinating was too real. The two of them had no restrictions on their movements here. They even tried to ride horses to faraway places and dug out tiny insect eggs under the soil to confirm that this was reality and could not be an illusion created by holographic technology.

After discovering this, Lu Yiyi was very sad. After all, who could accept leaving their hometown and parents forever without warning and becoming another person?

Jiang Qi's attitude was a little strange. He said he was very sad, but his expression was a little distorted, as if he wanted to laugh but could only hold it back and make a sad expression.

Gradually, Lu Yiyi discovered that Jiang Qi began to perfunctorily treat her, and instead had ambiguous relationships with other women. When Lu Yiyi first discovered this, Jiang Qi felt guilty, but as time went by, this guilt disappeared. Until one day, Lu Yiyi discovered that Jiang Qi was dating a noble lady. When Lu Yiyi accused him of this, he pushed her to the ground and said, "You are just a maid. What right do you have to give orders to this Marquis?"

At that moment, the arrogance and contempt on Jiang Qi's face made him look extremely ferocious. Lu Yiyi stared at him blankly, and then she was dragged away by the housekeeper.

Having fallen from grace, Lu Yiyi's life in the manor was difficult. Initially, she was heartbroken, constantly wondering how Jiang Qi could have let her down. She imagined the day when Jiang Qi would regret his actions and come back to her, where she would then reject him with dignity and elegance, sending this unfaithful man to the crematorium. One day, while fetching water for washing clothes, Lu Yiyi caught sight of her own face and was stunned.

Life was already hard for a low-ranking maid in a medieval manor, and Lu Yiyi was disliked by the Marquis, so the flattering butler deliberately treated her harshly, making her do the most work and eat the least every day. Now, because she hadn't washed her hair or taken a bath for too long, she couldn't eat or sleep well. Her eyes were dark and her face was sallow, her hair was greasy and dirty, and her hands were rough and dark from doing rough work. She was completely different from the only daughter of a wealthy family in a small city.

How could she believe Jiang Qi would come back to her? Would a marquis who owned an entire manor care about a dirty servant?

Lu Yiyi's love-struck mind was punctured by the ice spike of reality. She even began to resent Jiang Qi, thinking that this man was a piece of shit. After all, they were once boyfriend and girlfriend, and they had been together for four years! If he had just said a word, she wouldn't have to live such a hard life. Every time she was scolded by the housekeeper, every time she was assigned to do heavy work, she cursed Jiang Qi in her heart.

It was not known if her curse had worked, but Jiang Qi's bad luck really began to set in. Many people came to the manor one after another, including priests from the church, heroic knights, and people who were talking nonsense... One night, Lu Yiyi saw the manor's servant quietly carrying a box out to bury it, but due to her status, she could not investigate at all.

The days passed by unknowingly, until one morning, Lu Yiyi was awakened by a scream.

She sat up suddenly and looked out through the narrow window of the castle. She saw a monster covered in mud crawling out of the ground and heading straight towards the castle.

"Ah! It's a monster, it's a monster!"

It was the steward of the manor who shouted at the top of his lungs, "Quick, find a knight..."

The butler's voice suddenly stopped and he was eaten alive by the monster.

The manor was in chaos. Lu Yiyi was dragged along by a good maid. She heard the maid say in fear, "Oh my God, how could the monster get here? Run! If you don't, everyone will die."

Monster...

Why does this word sound so familiar?

At this moment, Lu Yiyi had a flash of inspiration and suddenly remembered the fantasy paradise that she had almost completely forgotten.

Could these two be related?

She was in no mood to think, because more and more monsters emerged from the ground, and the knights in the manor died one after another. In the end, they even forgot about the respected Marquis and fled on horseback.

Everyone was fleeing, and Lu Yiyi finally saw Jiang Qi again. Unlike Lu Yiyi, who had been forced to work and become strong and muscular, Jiang Qi had been spoiled by his pampered aristocratic life. Over the same distance, Lu Yiyi ran fast and steady, without blushing or panting, while Jiang Qi's eyes rolled back and he was panting non-stop, like a stray dog.

Isn't he just a lost dog? Seeing him being caught up by the monster, Lu Yiyi originally thought that she would help him, but she didn't. She watched him fall to the ground with cold eyes, and watched him being swallowed by the monster in one gulp.

Everything stopped at this moment, and the cold voice of the report rang in my ears.

Marquis March, craving extraordinary powers undeserving of his, captured monsters for secret experiments, ultimately suffering the consequences and being devoured by the monsters. Perhaps driven by resentment, his evil spirit lingered, gradually merging with the monsters. Dear warrior, you have watched the entire story of March. Please choose: 1. Return to the beginning and continue watching; 2. Take up arms and protect yourself and your companions.

Lu Yiyi was stunned, and then she was ecstatic. She shouted "222..." in succession.

The next moment, she had a bow and arrow in her hand. This was the item she had obtained when she was fighting monsters in the deserted park. At that time, Jiang Qi said that girls were not suitable for using bows and arrows, so she gave the item to Jiang Qi. Unexpectedly, it returned to her hands. "The park is really user-friendly!"

Lu Yiyi quickly accepted everything in front of her, and then when time began to flow again, in front of the astonished gazes of the other maids, she drew her bow and arrow and shot the monster that was chasing them.

After killing her, she did not choose to leave, but chose to go back to the beginning and continue watching. This time, Jiang Qi knew that all this was really a game in Paradise. He did not dare to treat Lu Yiyi the same way as before. However, even if he did not make the choice in the previous round, the monster would still break out of the ground and swallow him up. He would still merge with the monster and be shot by Lu Yiyi.

In this way, Lu Yiyi played seven rounds and killed Jiang Qi seven times. When the two finished the game, Jiang Qi began to tremble when he looked at Lu Yiyi.

On the other side, Lao Zhang and Lao Lin also made a second choice. This time, time went forward to when the monsters had just invaded the farm.

The two big dogs turned into humans on the spot in front of Qilit's surprised gaze, and then killed all the invading monsters.

Even though they knew it was a game, the two old people still felt relieved when they saw that the Qilit family, who had died tragically before, were now intact.

They chose to leave the game, but couldn't leave immediately. Everything in front of them suddenly became dim. A translucent Qilit floated out from "Qilite", flew to them and hugged them. "Although I know this isn't real, I'm still so happy. Two kind grandfathers, thank you for giving me this beautiful dream."

Then Qilit floated away. She turned into a photo in the air and stuck it on a wooden door.

Lao Zhang and Lao Lin looked at the scene in front of them, and somehow, they felt their eyes become a little moist again.

"So this is what a haunted house means!"

Old Zhang murmured.

It's not a scary haunted house, but a house that houses the souls of the dead.

With an inexplicably complicated mood, Lao Zhang and Lao Lin walked out of the haunted house. The sun was shining brightly outside, as if they were in another world.

There were still many people queuing at the door. I looked at my watch and found that only fifteen minutes had passed!

Old Zhang sighed and said, "The technology of this park is incredible!"

Reporter Fang Jiu hadn't left yet. When he saw the two people coming out of the haunted house, he put the interview microphone in front of them.

Facing the camera again, Lao Zhang's demeanor had calmed down considerably. He began, "Fantasy Paradise is a great place. The haunted house is very carefully designed and the content is excellent. Everyone should come and play together!"

Reporter Fang Jiu: ...

Netizens watching the live broadcast: ...

Well, the fragrance came too quickly, they couldn't accept it, and started to get stressed.

—Ah, Mr. Zhang, is the park owner threatening you? Don't worry, netizens are using their keyboards to bring justice to you!
