Chapter 375 The Terrifying Castle Owner (35)
.....
Chen Yuan half leaned against the wall of the rooftop. The cool night wind blew away the dull sounds in the stairwell. The breath that seeped out from the crack in the door was faintly bloody and quickly dissipated.
"How did you guess that the paper figurine was Jing Siyu?"
Tan Qing stood beside Shen Yuan, lowering his head slightly and looking at her sideways.
He has gentle features and a calm temperament, but when he fights monsters in the main castle, his moves are swift and sharp, like a sharp sword.
At this moment, he had restrained all his hostility, but now he looked like a gentle flute.
"When she was chasing you earlier, she really looked like a little fangirl. Even I was almost scared. But then you were injured by the monster. Although Jing Siyu looked nervous, I clearly saw that she was very unwilling to see you injured the first time she saw you."
You can't hide the look in your eyes when you truly like someone.
Every world of that person named Fu would look at her with that kind of disgusting look, how could Shen Yuan not be able to tell the difference.
Tan Qing was stunned for two seconds, then laughed.
"So that's how it is."
He shook his head with a smile, looked at Chen Yuan, the corners of his lips twitched twice, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Hearing that the noise in the stairwell was almost over, Shen Yuan stood up.
"Let's go, it's almost dawn. We'll wait for the dead to return to their nest soon, so we don't want those NPCs to notice anything's wrong."
Tan Qing's Adam's apple rolled twice, and his expression seemed a little hesitant.
Shen Yuan turned and looked at her with a puzzled look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, go back quickly."
Finally gave up.
Passing by the stairwell covered with blood, Shen Yuan covered his nose and didn't even look.
Jing Siyu bullied her, lied to her, and finally wanted to kill her.
There was no way she would be soft-hearted.
Going down to the second floor, Shen Yuan suddenly heard two sharp rooster crows. She subconsciously looked out the window. It was dawn, and a round fireball slowly rose from the horizon, dispelling all the darkness.
The two rooster crows were like a spell. The corpses running rampant in the corridors and dormitories suddenly stopped and walked towards a certain direction with a dazed look on their faces.
They looked numb, with no emotion in their gray pupils. They followed a fixed routine, went downstairs, and returned to their nests.
Chen Yuan drew aside the curtains and looked down from the window. The women's dormitory building was filled with densely packed corpses, like migrating ants. It was a nightmare for people with trypophobia.
The windows that were smashed by the corpses and the floors that were stained by a mixture of brain matter and blood were miraculously restored to their original appearance.
Everything was settled and I finally spent the first night safely.
After staying up all night, Chen Yuan felt exhausted. She rubbed her brows irritably and got up to go back to her dormitory.
As I passed the corridor, I suddenly heard a sound of undisguised footsteps behind me.
She turned around and met a pair of red eyes.
He also seemed to have not slept the entire night. His eyeballs were bloodshot, the corners of his eyes were red, and his face was terribly pale.
"You woke up so early?"
Chen Yuan was so sleepy that she just wanted to go back to the dormitory and catch up on some sleep.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was shocked by his own hoarse and dry voice.
"Let's talk about it later. I'm going to go back and catch up on some sleep."
Shen Yuan waved her hand and planned to go back to the dormitory directly.
As she took a step, the footsteps behind her quickened in frequency. Fu Qi had already run in front of her, blocking her way with his arms outstretched.
"I have something to ask you."
Fu Qi's eyes were red and his expression was stubborn, he refused to give in at all.
Shen Yuan narrowed her eyes, not understanding what he was up to.
After a few seconds, Shen Yuan nodded.
"Chat here...?"
.....
The utility room was small, filled with tools and brooms, and covered in dust.
Put a bed in the corner and it became Fu Qi's room.
As the lowest-ranking dog slave, he had no dormitory of his own, and the only place he could have in the utility room was with the tacit approval of the chief executioner.
Afraid that Shen Yuan would be disgusted, Fu Qi took out a rag and hurriedly wiped the dirt off the chair. He didn't even dare to look up at her expression at the moment, for fear of meeting a pair of disgusted and hateful eyes.
"sit...."
Seeing Chen Yuan sitting down without any hesitation and without any disgust on her face, Fu Qi's heart finally settled down a little.
Thinking of the scene he saw a few hours ago, Fu Qi lowered his eyes, and his long and curly eyelashes cast a dark shadow on his eyelids.
Shen Yuan's gaze fell on the knuckles hanging by his side.
The bones and tendons are clearly defined, and the fingertips are faintly pink. At this moment, the sun is rising, and the sunlight shines on the back of the jade-like hand, which is like the finest jade without a single flaw.
He was extremely thin, his body was like a bamboo pole, but his hands were beautiful.
"Why aren't you talking? What on earth did you call me over for? If it's not important, then let me go back to sleep. I'm really too sleepy. I'll chat with you later after work."
Chen Yuan supported his chin, his warm palms supporting the soft flesh on his cheeks, his eyes were hazy and he couldn't muster up any energy.
Fu Qi knew that she was sleepy. After the zombie carnival last night, she was not only sleepy but also very tired.
But he wanted to find out everything about yesterday.
"I have something to ask you."
Chen Yuan murmured and raised her eyelids to look at Fu Qi.
"you say."
Fu Qi dragged a chair and sat down in front of Shen Yuan, staring at her with his dark pupils without blinking.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
It's creepy.
Fu Qi pursed his lips and said softly
"I saw what happened last night."
Chen Yuan hummed softly again, and before she could react to what Fu Qi was referring to, after two seconds of hesitation, her sleepiness instantly dissipated.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I saw you fighting those things last night."
Shen Yuan was surprised: "You can see them?"
She always thought that only players would experience the tide of corpses at night, but she didn't expect that Fu Qi could also see it.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not impossible. He is the future owner of the castle, so he must have his own special qualities.
But is this special feature really lucky for him?
For an unarmed dog slave who is bullied every day, even getting a peaceful sleep is a luxury.
Fu Qi hung his head, his voice low and hoarse, "Ever since I came to this gloomy place, I've seen scenes like this every night. But this isn't the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that I'm the only one who can see them."
"Whether it's the foreman or the other workers, they all seem to be trapped in some kind of curse at night and can't wake up."
"I told them about this, but no one believed me. Instead, they said I was a bad omen and treated me like a dog slave."
Shen Yuan's brows furrowed instantly: "Why?"
It might be understandable to say that Fu Qi was a bad omen, but what did this have to do with the dog slave?
Speaking of this, Fu Qi's eyes instantly turned red, and the temperature rose sharply, becoming scorching hot.
"Because they say dogs see things that people can't."
Chen Yuan: .....
