Chapter 41: Separate Actions

There were only a few yellow candles lit on the endless corridor, and the faint candlelight could not fully illuminate the way ahead.

Li Beichuan took three burning candles from the candlestick and handed them to Yu Qingmeng and Xu Jingzhe.

Holding candles, the four began to walk forward slowly.

The entire castle was filled with strange music, and the growls of wild beasts could be heard from time to time behind him.

Although I don't know why weeds are growing in the castle, the rustling sound made by the breeze is still extremely frightening.

Yu Qingmeng held Xu Jingzhe's arm and walked forward with a calm expression.

His eyes accidentally glanced at Ayin beside him. She almost curled up in Li Beichuan's arms, her body trembling with fear.

She couldn't help but hug Xu Jingzhe's arms tighter.

Perhaps sensing something unusual, Xu Jingzhe stopped and took Yu Qingmeng into his arms with one hand. The two walked one in front and the other behind. No matter which side the NPC appeared first, Xu Jingzhe could stand in front of her first.

A "click" sound was heard behind him.

The three people except Ayin looked back at the same time. It must be because the castle was too quiet. This time, Xu Jingzhe and Li Beichuan also discovered the presence of the man following them.

Yu Qingmeng lowered her eyes and said, "I just stepped on a cardboard bone."

Although the explanation was very poor, fortunately both of them believed it.

The four of them continued walking forward. Except for A Yin, no one was shrouded in fear. It seemed as if they had been walking for a long time. The three of them began to feel sleepy. A yawn sounded from behind them, and then Xu Jingzhe said, "Is this terror level really level 10? I'm a little sleepy from walking so much."

As soon as these words were spoken, the roar of a wild beast suddenly sounded behind them. Everyone turned around again, holding up the candles in their hands to illuminate the road behind them.

In the dim light, I seemed to see a few four-legged creatures. They didn't look like humans, but wolves.

Is this what the maid meant by "there won't be any danger"?

The wolves growled at the four people, and then pounced on them from the darkness.

As Ayin's screams rang out in the empty castle, the three of them suddenly remembered that this was just a game and it was time to escape.

Li Beichuan reacted quickly, grabbed Ayin's waist and lifted her up, then ran forward.

Xu Jingzhe was not willing to be outdone. Just as he was about to hug Yu Qingmeng and run together, Yu Qingmeng pulled him forward with great force.

When did Mengbao become so strong?

The seeds of doubt were planted in Xu Jingzhe's heart, but he quickly dispelled the doubt.

It must be the adrenaline secreted due to fear.

After running for a long time, I finally arrived at the end of the corridor. There was a door at the end. The door made a "creak" sound and was slowly opened.

A man wrapped in bandages and holding a chainsaw walked out from behind the door. The chainsaw in his hand was buzzing and emitted a dazzling light from time to time.

"Ah!" Ayin screamed again.

There is a weirdo with a chainsaw in front and a wolf chasing after him from behind.

At this moment, a high wall suddenly rose among them, separating the four people into two, and a new road appeared beside them at the same time.

Without having time to think about it, the four of them separated and ran in opposite directions.

Yu Qingmeng and Xu Jingzhe came to a room full of bookshelves. The old-fashioned chandelier above their heads flickered, and strange noises rang out again.

"I remember the guy said at the beginning that our first game project is exploration and treasure hunting. Do we have to find the treasure before we can go to the next level?" Xu Jingzhe looked around in confusion and asked softly.

Yu Qingmeng pretended to be nervous and nodded gently: "Maybe, but we didn't see any treasure maps along the way."

"The treasure map should be hidden on these bookshelves. Let's look for it." Xu Jingzhe held her fingers together and pulled her slowly towards the first bookshelf.

The crackling sound of bones being broken rang out again. Yu Qingmeng looked towards the source of the sound helplessly and angrily, then turned around and said softly, "Jingzhe, this place is so big, it should be much faster if we search separately."

Xu Jingzhe paused as he reached for the book. He pouted in grievance and leaned closer to her: "But I want Mengbao to accompany me. I'm scared to be alone."

I always feel like...I should be the one saying this. Yu Qingmeng smiled awkwardly.

"Well... okay." Yu Qingmeng couldn't persuade him and had to give up the chance to leave.

Although Xu Jingzhe said he was afraid, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. This smile full of happiness was deeply imprinted in the eyes of the people in the dark.

The sound of footsteps was heard, and Yu Qingmeng knew that this time she had to find a way to leave Xu Jingzhe no matter what.

"Jingzhe, let's look for it separately, so that we can leave here faster." Yu Qingmeng held Xu Jingzhe's face and rubbed it gently, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Okay, Mengbao, remember to call me if you have any problems. I will be there as soon as possible!" As he said that, Xu Jingzhe stuffed the communication equipment into Yu Qingmeng's hands.

This library is not very big, and if you speak in a low voice, the other party will most likely hear you.

Yu Qingmeng found the deepest corner and stopped. She glanced behind her and said coldly, "Don't hide, I know you are here."

A triumphant laugh sounded behind him. Yu Qingmeng slowly turned around, and the candle in her hand illuminated the man's handsome face.

Ye Lingtian was dressed very casually today. Perhaps in order to better track in the dark environment, he deliberately changed into black clothes.

In his hand he held a jeweled fan made of gold. The ruby ​​on the fan glowed with a faint reddish light when illuminated by the candlelight.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Yu Qingmeng asked coldly, "You've been following me since we left the hotel. Who told you that I would come to the upper-class residential area today?"

Ye Lingtian spread out his fan and slowly walked over to fan her: "Mengmeng, did anyone tell me? We are so connected, I guessed you would come today."

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the red jade bracelet on Yu Qingmeng's wrist. His voice suddenly turned cold: "Why aren't you wearing the jade bracelet I gave you? Who gave it to you? Why are you wearing it?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Yu Qingmeng rolled her eyes and turned away: "If you don't leave, don't blame me for taking action."

Hearing this, Ye Lingtian used his fan to cover the corners of his mouth that were raised. He said "Oh" softly and smiled: "So Mengmeng is reluctant to attack me. I knew Mengmeng loves me."

Yu Qingmeng turned around in surprise. Although she knew Ye Lingtian's personality, she was still annoyed by his narcissistic attitude. "Are you okay?"

If Xu Jingzhe wasn't nearby, Yu Qingmeng really wanted to punch him on the head twice to vent her anger.

"Mengmeng will definitely not attack me now. After all, your boyfriend is still there. It would be bad if we were discovered." Ye Lingtian walked in front of Yu Qingmeng and bent down.

"Why isn't Mengmeng talking? Are you missing me so much that you can't speak?"

Yu Qingmeng clenched her fists, and despite great restraint, she still swung out that punch, smashing his head again.
