Chapter 61 A Beautiful Love Story
Ma Lulu followed Jiang Liyue into the basement in a daze, then, a beat late in the morning, gave a thumbs-up with a look of admiration: "I've learned something."
So that's how you can do it!
It's all the fault of the puzzle game for misleading her, making her think that you need a key to enter any lock.
Jiang Liyue waved her hand: "It's nothing."
The flashlight beam was extremely weak in the darkness, only vaguely illuminating the approximate structure of the basement.
Compared to the spacious living room upstairs, this is an extremely small room, probably only about ten square meters.
On the central stone platform, there was a golden mask that had appeared in the newspaper.
The mask is carved with intricate and exquisite decorations, but the areas where the eyes should be are empty.
It was just a mask without any warmth, yet it gave people a terrifying feeling of being watched by something.
Ma Lulu rubbed her arms, a mixture of fear and anticipation in her eyes: "Is this the key artifact?"
Hidden in such a secluded basement, it must be the most important collection for the villa owner, right?
Jiang Liyue tentatively greeted the masked figure first: "Hello."
Unexpectedly, the mask flew up on its own the next moment, circling Jiang Liyue twice, as if to confirm something.
Finally, it tentatively tried to rub against Jiang Liyue's fingertips.
It looks a bit like a puppy, and it seems somewhat familiar.
She thought she probably knew whose golden mask it was.
Jiang Liyue didn't dodge; instead, she smiled and asked, "Are you looking for your master? I think he should be upstairs."
The mask swayed slightly, then continued to rub against her fingers affectionately.
Ma Lulu watched Jiang Liyue interact with the golden mask, feeling both hesitant and expectant: "Yueyue, are we going to destroy it?"
The next moment, the golden mask flew up, and an emotion resembling anger appeared on its expressionless face.
Ma Lulu was so frightened that she fell to the ground again, her knees throbbing slightly.
She was kneeling on the ground way too often in this dungeon, sob sob.
Seeing this, Jiang Liyue quickly stopped the golden mask: "We don't want to destroy you, we just want to leave this villa, do you have a way?"
The golden mask floated in mid-air, angrily spun around, and then reluctantly bumped into the wall.
With a creak, a long, black passageway appeared on the right side of the basement.
The man with the golden mask pointed to the black passage, indicating that it was the exit.
"Can we leave the villa from here?" Jiang Liyue asked.
The golden mask nodded, looking exceptionally obedient.
Jiang Liyue tentatively tried to walk towards the passage, but before she could take a step, the golden mask jumped up and down, blocking her way.
"You won't let me leave?" Jiang Liyue tilted her head and asked with a smile, seemingly able to read the mask's meaning. "Do you want me to take you to your master?"
The mask swayed merrily.
Jiang Liyue did not refuse, but looked at Ma Lulu on the ground: "Lulu, why don't you give it a try?"
Ma Lulu shakily got up from the ground and limped into the black tunnel.
Her eyes widened instantly: "Sister Yueyue, the system has notified me that I have completed the mission and can exit the instance now! Come in quickly!"
It seems the mask wasn't lying; this passage is the way out of Blood Moon Villa.
Moreover, there were clearly no other dangers inside, which is why the instance directly determined that the quest "Leave Blood Moon Villa" was completed.
The task was surprisingly easy; the golden mask, unlike the other collectibles, would not intentionally harm anyone.
If we had discovered the basement earlier, we might have been able to leave the villa last night.
However, Jiang Liyue thought about it again and realized that this was only a C-level difficulty dungeon, and she could understand it instantly.
The series of intrigues and power struggles created on the villa are actually just a cover for this simple exit.
If players pay a little attention, they will find that the way out is right under their feet.
The rhythmic footsteps coming from the stairs were particularly noticeable in the dark and empty basement.
Hearing this, Ma Lulu said urgently, "Sister Yueyue, why aren't you here yet? Let's go!"
The golden mask suddenly grew larger, blocking Jiang Liyue's path.
She reached out and touched the mask, as if to soothe it, her tone helpless: "You're just as clingy as your owner."
As she spoke, Jiang Liyue smiled at Ma Lulu, her eyebrows curving upwards: "It seems I can't leave for the time being."
In the darkness, only the beam of the flashlight allowed Ma Lulu to vaguely see Jiang Liyue's smiling face.
She roughly understood that the mask belonged to Zhou Yulin.
So, did Yueyue stay for him?
What an incredibly beautiful love story between a human and a monster!
The couple she ships is real.
What do you call this? You call it a two-way journey!
Ma Lulu covered her face, looking at Jiang Liyue with teary eyes: "Sister Yueyue, you and your brother-in-law must be happy!"
As she spoke, her figure disappeared into the black passage, which slowly closed and turned into the shape of a wall.
Jiang Liyue was taken aback: Huh?
She always felt that Ma Lulu was probably imagining something incredible.
Is this the kind of dedication CP fans have? I'm impressed.
She's still shipping them! She's still shipping them!
[Ma Lulu: I'm my sister's love bodyguard]
Jiang Liyue had no time to consider Ma Lulu's emotional journey; the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer.
She turned her head, and the stairwell leading upstairs was already filled with eerie figures.
Aside from Lu Zhuokai and a few others I knew, there were some strange faces with even more severe rotting.
Beneath the foul-smelling skin, something seemed to be constantly wriggling.
They stared greedily at Jiang Liyue, devoid of consciousness, driven only by an instinctive craving for flesh and blood.
Jiang Liyue's flesh and blood perfectly suited their desires, and they swarmed towards her like hyenas.
But the next moment, the golden mask flew up, emanating a red and black mist, and all the eerie creatures instantly knelt on the ground, trembling.
It was as if I had seen something terrifying.
The golden mask had already flown back to Jiang Liyue's shoulder, and seemed to be currying favor by rubbing against her face.
It looks more like its owner now.
Jiang Liyue patted it as a reward: "You're really amazing."
"Let's go, I'll take you to your master."
Jiang Liyue stepped back onto the stairs and sighed, "I hope he didn't notice I left."
Otherwise, I bet they'll go crazy again.
On the second floor, Zhou Yulin stared at the scattered gold chains, his expression gloomy, with a smug smile: "Yueyue is not well-behaved at all."
