Chapter 2: Adventures of Teammates Trapped in the Candy House

The fat rabbit hit Chu Cheng'an on the head with the stick in its hand. Chu Cheng'an could obviously dodge an attack of this intensity and speed, but he seemed to be suppressed and unable to resist.

All I heard was the fat rabbit saying, "You interrupted the system elf and disrespected the system. The game difficulty level will be increased to B, and the main storyline will not be told to the players."

"ah?"

The fat rabbit who claimed to be the system elf smiled and said, "Player Gretel, please take care of yourself."

And then it disappeared.

"Gretel? I'm Gretel, my sister? Oh my god, I'm so handsome and manly, but I'm not the brother? If I'm not? Is Lu Zhenqiu the brother? How can he be my brother? It's really unacceptable even in the game world."

Chu Chengan closed the kitchen door again, which he had never entered, and went back to ask Lu Zhenqiu for justice. On what basis did he take his brother's script?

It's no wonder that Lu Zhenqiu couldn't open the door leading to the balcony. In general, horror games require you to investigate one place before going to the next. Here, it seems that the two of them have to investigate the kitchen first.

Lu Zhenqiu frowned when he saw Chu Chengan approaching him: "Have you finished your investigation?"

"What are you investigating? Didn't you hear what the system wizard said to us?"

"You're crazy! I knew you were unreliable. Never mind, I'll investigate it myself." Lu Zhenqiu walked past Chu Cheng'an and headed towards the kitchen.

Eh? Shouldn't he have asked him about the script first? Why is he not discussing the script but continuing to explore new territory? How can he act so unnaturally?

Could it be that the system hasn't found him yet?

Until this moment, Chu Cheng'an believed that he was not in a dream, but had arrived in some strange dungeon game world, and he was sure that the candy house adventure the rabbit was talking about was the story in the horror fairy tale picture book he had just read.

He knows the whole story, does Lu Zhenqiu know it too?

He watched Lu Zhenqiu open the kitchen door and go in, and he followed him. Could he meet the rabbit-shaped system elf again?

As a result, he didn't touch anything this time, and Lu Zhenqiu didn't look like he saw anything strange. He rummaged through the cabinets in the kitchen, but there was nothing in the chocolate cabinet. With a little force, the handle of the cabinet could be pulled off.

This game scene is so fragile. When will the kind-looking old lady boss show up? He couldn't help but want to push the old lady into the iron pot as soon as possible.

Lu Zhenqiu turned around and glared at Chu Chengan who was lazing around: "What? Are you planning to stay overnight in this weird place?"

Chu Chengan asked tentatively: "Lu Zhenqiu, you said this place is so strange, with all the candy and chocolate, don't you think we have come to another world?"

"Stop talking nonsense... I don't believe in ghosts. Someone must be playing a prank here and brought us here to play a prank on a snake... But I can't find a camera."

Lu Zhenqiu is really naive. It's his fault that he doesn't read much. He probably hasn't read many of those wonderful fantasy novels. Look at how stupid the child has become from reading too much.

They had really traveled through a book! They had traveled through the horror fairy tale picture book that he had been reading before falling asleep.

But is it really necessary for him to tell Lu Zhenqiu about this information? Lu Zhenqiu is his mortal enemy. Although they are partners in this game, there is no guarantee that they will become enemies in the next game. He should observe carefully.

Lu Zhenqiu woke him up from his fantasy: "Chu Chengan, help me find the exit. Even if we can't find the exit, it would be good to find a few cameras."

"They are probably hidden in the holes in the biscuits, right? Lu Zhenqiu, why don't you shout at the ceiling a few times that what they are doing is illegal, and see if that can scare them off."

"Why don't you shout? You've been working the hardest before, haven't you?"

"You haven't seen me for three years. Maybe I've become shy now and am too embarrassed to shout in public?"

Lu Zhenqiu was very disdainful: "Humph, you?"

He glanced at the ceiling a few times, but didn't waste time cursing at the kidnappers. Instead of wasting energy shouting, he would rather continue looking for a way out.

Chu Chengan watched him working in vain. Knowing the plot well, he knew that they could not get out, and the only way to break through was to defeat the old witch.

He looked at Lu Zhenqiu like that because he wanted to play a prank on him. They hadn't seen each other for such a long time, and he didn't expect to meet again in his favorite fairy tale. He couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in now.

"Chu Cheng'an! If you don't help me, I will start to suspect that you are their accomplice."

"Accomplice? I'm a kidnapper? Why did I kidnap you? Do you have a mine? Or are you so beautiful that I can capture you for other purposes?"

"Chu Cheng'an!" Lu Zhenqiu's eyes turned red with anxiety. He grabbed a chocolate frying pan next to him and smashed it at Chu Cheng'an.

Even if it was made of chocolate powder, the big shaped chocolate was still painful when hitting people. Chu Chengan was hit on the arm before he could dodge.

"Okay, let's find an exit, find an exit." Chu Cheng pretended to look for it.

After searching for less than ten minutes, he looked up from behind the fireplace and said, "Lu Zhenqiu, do you want to eat something here? We've been here for almost a night and haven't eaten anything."

"What do you dare to eat?"

Chu Chengan certainly knew that they couldn't eat random things, but if they didn't eat them, the main storyline wouldn't be triggered. If the old witch didn't come out, how could they pass this copy?

Although he felt bad and knew the terrible experience his brother Hansel would go through in the future, he still had to find a way to make Lu Zhenqiu eat the food here obediently.

In order to lower Lu Zhenqiu's guard, Chu Chengan ate a biscuit first.

Then Lu Zhenqiu stared at him for three seconds with an idiotic look in his eyes: "Are you an idiot?"

Okay, I am.

Chu Chengan was full and wanted to lie down to sleep for a while, but Lu Zhenqiu pulled him up by his clothes: "Are you okay? Is there something wrong with the food?"

The look in Lu Zhenqiu's eyes indicated that there must be something wrong with the food here.

Chu Chengan waved his hands: "No problem, I'm just too lazy to spend the energy to find the way. Let's take a nap first. Maybe the exit will come out by itself tomorrow morning."

"...You are really carefree." Abnormally carefree.

While Chu Cheng'an was lying down, Lu Zhenqiu searched the living room and the bedroom where Chu Cheng'an had stayed at first, but found nothing.

There are only candy chocolate cookies, a large cookie window in the living room that looks like bulletproof glass, and another chocolate door that leads to the balcony.

Although the wall was also made of sugar, Lu Zhenqiu really had no intention of chewing a hole in the wall. According to the logic of this window, they certainly could not get out of the outermost part of the wall.

…

Lu Zhenqiu walked back from the bedroom and looked at Chu Chengan, who was sleeping on the cotton candy sofa in the living room with his eyes closed. This man was too calm to be normal. If it were the Chu Chengan in the past, he would have made a fuss to the point of lifting the ceiling. Could it be that he was really an accomplice this time? He had to pull him to call him master just because he was in the coffee shop?

"Get up!" Lu Zhenqiu walked over to Chu Chengan and grabbed his collar to pull him up.

Chu Chengan opened his hand and said, "I've already said it. There's no point in doing anything useless now. Let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

"Why are you not nervous at all? You seem to know what will happen next. The amount of information we have is not equal at all. Tell me everything you know!"

Chu Chengan raised his eyes and looked at him lazily: "Yes, I know some information about this place, but why should I tell you? Do we have a good relationship? Are you my relative or my friend? Do I have to share information with you?"

"You...!" Lu Zhenqiu was burning with rage, and it seemed that he had to defeat him.

Chu Cheng sat up and looked at Lu Zhenqiu's expression: "Do you want to fight me? Can you win? Doesn't the knee that was kicked in the front hurt anymore?"

"If it weren't for me..." Lu Zhenqiu took the initiative and punched the other person in the eyes before he could react.

Chu Cheng'an turned around and dodged, but he also sat on the ground due to inertia, and Lu Zhenqiu took advantage of the situation and pressed him to the ground.

After a few rounds, Chu Cheng'an realized that Lu Zhenqiu had not learned any fighting techniques in a systematic way. He just followed human instinct, punching and kicking to try to subdue his opponent.

But compared to most people, his level of being a layman is already very strong.

He didn't bully Lu Zhenqiu too much, he just felt sorry for him, a barista who had been learning for three years...

Suddenly, when everything was unexpected, Chu Cheng'an felt something very sharp against his neck. Having fought with others for many years, he immediately sensed the danger. With a ray of moonlight projected from the window, he saw clearly what it was.

This is... This is the engraving needle that Lu Zhenqiu used to carve patterns on coffee? How did he bring this thing in?

"Don't move. Answer my questions honestly, or I'll pierce your throat. No matter how strong you are, can you be faster than the spikes in my hand?"

...Of course it's not fast. Even a skilled Kung Fu master is afraid of a kitchen knife. Even a needle is equally scary at such a close distance.

"No, no, no... Lu Zhenqiu, don't get excited. We are grasshoppers on the same rope. Don't kill our allies by mistake."

"Who told you that you were a grasshopper? Tell me! What's going on here?"

"Hey, can you put the needle away first? I feel like you're not holding it steady. What if you poke me?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Do you really think I dare not stab you?" As he said that, Lu Zhenqiu brought the carved needle closer to Chu Cheng'an's neck. Chu Cheng'an could already clearly feel the pain of the needle. His skin was broken and bleeding. If it was a little deeper, his life would be over.

"I'll tell you... which one do you want to hear first?"

"..." Lu Zhenqiu unhappily deepened it by another 0.01 mm.

Chu Chengan immediately spoke up: "This is the picture book of the Candy House Adventure."
