Train to Moscow
To face it or to retreat has always been a difficult and indecisive question since ancient times. Jiang Kexin felt like she was standing on a scale at this moment, with unknowns on both sides, and each side was more difficult to choose than the other and she had no idea where to start.
He didn't know what the consequences would be after making his choice. After all, this was not a game. Games had rollback saves. If he made the wrong choice, he could start over and there were many opportunities.
But it’s different here. The world here is more like a game than a game.
This place felt like a real life. If you died here, you were truly dead, but he couldn't die. He not only had his own life on his shoulders, but also the country's. He needed to remind himself of this all the time; he couldn't just do whatever he wanted.
Some thoughts flashed through Jiang Kexin's mind. This was his habit. When faced with difficult decisions, his brain palace would start to speculate.
He began to speculate on the consequences of the two choices. After careful comparison, Jiang Kexin found that retreating was the worst option.
If he chose to retreat, he could hide for a while but not forever. The fact that Earl Stanford had successfully detected him meant that he most likely knew that he was here. Even if he didn't go out, Earl Stanford would find him sooner or later.
Once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.
Then he had no choice but to face Earl Stanf and use Earl Stanf's liking and love for him to delay time.
Jiang Kexin frowned, suppressing the nausea that was churning in her heart, and used her pale fingertips to press against her chest to ruffle her collar.
His long eyelashes drooped on his clothes, and looking from above you could see his puffy cheeks. He looked like a hamster trying hard to gnaw on its food, with a hint of fatigue between his brows.
The sharp and cold aura was melted away, revealing the inner fragility.
Then, Jiang Kexin picked up the lighter and took a look at it. He pursed his lips and kicked the lighter aside with his foot.
After everything was ready, he didn't rush out. Instead, he made himself look even more embarrassed and dawdled for a long time before getting out of the wall.
As soon as Jiang Kexin walked out, she saw Earl Stanford standing on the last step holding a candle. The candlelight shone on his gloomy face. He looked exactly like Dr. Liu in the shadow of Jiang Kexin's past.
Jiang Kexin was a little dazed. He stood motionless under Earl Stanford's increasingly gloomy gaze, but he raised his fragile neck and offered himself in a trusting manner, like a pure white swan.
When Earl Stanford saw this, his breath stopped. He walked forward with the candle in his hand until he came in front of Jiang Kexin.
The fragile neck, the slightly reddish corners of the eyes, the pretty nose and the face that was just good-looking at best, all these combined easily attracted Earl Stanf's heart and aroused his strong desire to destroy.
Jiang Kexin, who has always been quite indifferent to everything and stayed away from everyone's desires, as if nothing could make him stay, actually showed this rare vulnerability for Earl Stanford.
This kind of contrast would be enough to make anyone feel pity for Jiang Kexin, and they would want to comfort him and stop him from showing that expression again.
But Stan was different, he was not an ordinary person, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable greed, he closed his eyes for a moment, suppressing the desire for destruction, his lips trembled slightly, and finally he spoke very softly as if he was talking to his lover.
"Jiang, this is my fault."
Jiang Kexin tilted his head in confusion, surprise flashing across his eyes. This was not entirely the reaction he had expected.
Earl Stanford clearly saw the confusion in Jiang Kexin's eyes, and he also wanted to despise himself. He had clearly thought of how to punish Jiang Kexin, but he was easily seduced by Jiang Kexin's fragile side and was easily played around with.
He reached out his hand to touch the beautiful hair as if fascinated and continued in a soft voice.
"Yes, it's my fault, Jiang, it's my fault..."
"I forgot about this. There's such an unreasonable basement in this room. It's all my fault for forgetting. That's why you accidentally triggered something and fell down. You look so bad. Are you injured?"
Earl Stanford's hands moved from her hair to the sides, then from her cheeks down, until his hands touched Jiang Kexin's slender waist. Her waist was so thin that one hand could easily hold it.
Earl Stanford was very tall. After hugging Jiang Kexin, all she could see from the back was Earl Stanford's broad back.
He looked like a monster covering his treasure, not allowing outsiders any chance to get a glimpse of it.
The hands even continued to stroke downwards, the cold hands slowly stroking Jiang Kexin's belly, and then stroking, circling, and kneading the soft belly as they covered it.
It was as if he wanted to rip Jiang Kexin open. Jiang Kexin suppressed the discomfort, lowered his eyes and was extremely obedient, like a small animal that sensed some powerful existence.
Jiang Kexin could understand why Earl Stanford hugged and caressed her, but he didn't understand why Earl Stanford rubbed her belly so affectionately.
Is this guy a belly fetishist?
Jiang Kexin kept letting her mind wander to distract herself from the discomfort.
While Jiang Kexin was confused and guessing randomly, the system voice in Jiang Kexin's mind appeared again.
The appearance of the system solved Jiang Kexin's doubts in time, the system said.
Jiang Kexin's Charm Check Result: 1d100 = 3/90 "Great Success"
The poor beauty showed her vulnerability to the monster, unaware of what she was about to face. One day, she would become his wife and bear him children.
Jiang Kexin was suddenly horrified, but Earl Stanford took it as fun.
Earl Stanford lowered his head, a rare gentle smile on his lips, and the inhuman aura that Jiang Kexin felt disappeared.
He held Jiang Kexin's long hair lovingly and kissed it with his pale lips, then picked Jiang Kexin up and walked up the stairs step by step towards the secret door.
Jiang Kexin could only ignore the sudden words about the offspring. First of all, acceptance does not mean belief. He is a cautious person and he will not easily believe an unknown existence.
At the same time, Jiang Kexin quietly felt the emotion that had never appeared before rising in his heart. He knew what this emotion was, it came from joy.
His joy again came from the success of his plan.
Sure enough, his choice was right. In fact, love is not as scary as he thought, right?
Love also has its advantages. Love can make people blindly control others, just like Earl Stanford.
Jiang Kexin repeated this sentence in her mind several times, not knowing who she was telling it to.
The light was outside the secret door, and Count Stanf's shadow was infinitely stretched. If Ellisted was here, he would find that at this moment, Count Stanf and Miss Leir's original form were so similar.
But Ellisted was not there. He was now lost in a rare state on the street.
He originally thought that the monsters he had seen before were just imitating the behavior of humans in the Middle Ages.
But what he didn't expect was that these monsters even imitated the streets and other places exactly like those in the human world, which made him feel as if he had come to the Middle Ages for a moment.
Standalone shops stood side by side, their dilapidated houses standing upright like tall trees. The ground was covered with stones, moss interspersed between the stones. Heavy snow covered the roofs and fell from them to the ground...
However, this commercial street extends into the distance, and at the end there are some amusement facilities. This combination looks extremely weird. The collision of ancient and modern dreams is like a clumsy acting that makes people laugh.
All I can say is that the imitation of these monsters is not accurate enough. Everything here is chaotic, messy and yet templated.
Chaotic and messy means that the monsters here imitate human behavior but appear clumsy and strange, and very out of place.
Template means that whether it is a street or an amusement park, it is so popular here, and it looks like what the amusement park and the street look like in people's minds.
Ellisted calmed himself down and looked at the sky. The sun had already set, so it was probably afternoon now. The time he had just heard was the evening dance.
Before the dance takes place, Ellisted must find a way to find Jiang Kexin first and then meet up with Tana to explore this dungeon together.
The plan was already in place, but how should he proceed? Ellis looked outside. People were coming and going, and everywhere were the group of monsters he had seen before, disguised as humans. They were wearing long skirts and holding fans, like medieval nobles.
As he watched, Ellisted came up with a good idea. He took the time to reply to Tana, and then began to think about the feasibility of his idea.
First, he could find a monster noble who might attend the evening dance, and then knock him out and use him as a replacement. In short, it sounded like this method was very feasible. It was so feasible that Ellisted did not hesitate.
Having made up his mind, Ellisted hid beside the trash can and carefully observed the nobles who might participate in the ball.
But he couldn't observe anything from the monster, so at this time he needed the help of identification to find a way out of the predicament.
Ellisted Investigation Test Result: 1d100=72/60 "Failure"
Your luck is really not good. 】
After failing, Ellisted was first confused about how bad his luck was, and then he began to think about how he could leave here safely.
He thought so because if the investigation failed, the people being investigated would immediately realize that someone was spying on them.
If they meet ordinary humans, at most they will look at them in confusion, and then they will smile at each other and everything will be fine.
But Ellisted knew what lay beneath the skin of these nobles; they were a group of monsters.
If monsters discover that humans are spying on them, they will face...
Yes, he would be faced with this scene now. Those nobles suddenly turned around and grinned hoarsely at Ellisted with a clear purpose. Their eyes were empty, filled with darkness. They looked like they could tear Ellisted apart at any time, revealing his inhuman appearance. When they saw the clothes on Ellisted that didn't belong to locals, their laughter became even more absurd...
This horrifying scene made Ellisted swallow his saliva involuntarily and take a step back.
The identification system sound is finally here.
[Ellisted's SanCheck: 53/56 The Sanity check submitted this time was successful.
