Welcome to the world of horror for those human players who aren't exactly lucky!
They had just arrived in the world of horror.
On the opposite wall, there was a line of large, blood-red characters written in blood.
"If you're welcome, then welcome. Who are you trying to scare with all this blood and gore?"
Lin Xue walked curiously to the wall, dipped her finger in a little blood, and smelled it.
"It's actually true?"
I initially thought they were just trying to scare people, but I never expected that the stuff on the wall was actually human blood.
And it's fresh.
[This instance involves 5 human players. The instance is called "Escape from the Castle." All the clues are around you. May you all have lots of bad luck, be blinded by your own eyes, and die young!]
As Lin Xue examined the bloodstains on the wall, she discovered that the bloodstains seemed to be alive, slowly wriggling and soon turning into another line of text.
By searching through the original owner's memories, Lin Xue learned that the instance she entered this time was not the one the original owner had experienced at all.
Furthermore, the process of recruiting players in the horror world is random, as is the selection of dungeons; even within the same second, there can be time differences.
This slight difference can lead people into different instances.
At the same time, I also learned from the original owner's memories that this dungeon called "Escape from the Castle" tells the story of a cruel and bloodthirsty count who deeply loves a kind and lovely girl.
Unfortunately, the girl had someone else in her heart and didn't like the count at all.
On the eve of the girl's wedding, the count and his men secretly abducted her back to the castle, where she was imprisoned and forbidden from approaching or leaving.
If that were all, the matter wouldn't be urgent.
But this count seems to have a somewhat twisted mind; on the one hand, he loves this girl and has a strong possessive desire for her.
On the other hand, he also hated the girl, feeling that she was unfaithful to love and had betrayed their relationship.
Although this affection belonged only to the Earl, the girl never reciprocated his feelings.
This is similar to the plot of a yandere count falling in love with me.
The original owner had never experienced this instance, so they were unclear about its specifics and had only seen similar descriptions on the official website.
All we can learn are fragmented facts and the locations of a few important clues.
Once the blood-red characters on the wall completely disappeared, Lin Xue knew that the plot had officially begun.
"Thump!"
"Knock knock~"
Hearing the rhythm of the knocking, Lin Xue thought the guy was quite polite.
"Come in!"
She calmly moved away from the wall, and when she turned around, she found herself in a magnificent room.
It seems this count is really rich; the layout of this house must have required a lot of financial support.
"Miss Xue, the Earl requests your presence for dinner!"
The maid who entered was of ordinary appearance. She bowed respectfully to Lin Xue.
"What time is it now?"
Lin Xue glanced around the room; there wasn't even a clock, so there was no way to determine the time.
In addition, the room doesn't even have a window, so it's impossible to see the sky outside through a window.
"It's 7 o'clock now, you should go down for lunch!"
"If we keep the Earl waiting too long, he will be unhappy!"
The maid glanced at Lin Xue indifferently. Although her demeanor was respectful, her gaze was not friendly.
"Let's go then!"
Lin Xue didn't like the maid's gaze, but she guessed that if she didn't leave soon, the maid might transform.
Since it's 7 a.m., that's just the right time for breakfast.
I can't let this maid's disgusting appearance affect my breakfast.
"Xue, you overslept this morning!"
As soon as Lin Xue arrived at the restaurant downstairs, she saw a tall and imposing man sitting in the main seat.
When she arrived, a maid came over and pulled out a chair for her; it happened to be the one to the count's right.
"I want a sandwich. Fry me an egg and put some lettuce in it!"
Lin Xue naturally pushed aside the plate in front of her, which contained a piece of bloody meat.
She could guess what kind of meat it was just by smelling it.
The sour smell of copper rust made her lose all appetite.
"Xue, your health is too poor; you can't always eat vegetarian food!"
The count put down his knife and fork and looked at Lin Xue with some disapproval.
"My lord, since you like me, you should like all my preferences, instead of forcing me to eat foods I don't like!"
She placed her snowy hands on the dining table, and with the tip of her right hand, she gently pushed the plate in front of her.
With a push of her finger, the tableware was moved further outwards.
"Okay, as long as you behave, I might be able to grant you these little wishes!"
The count stared intently at Lin Xue for a while, then finally sighed, which could be considered a compromise.
He winked at the maid beside him, and immediately someone brought Lin Xue a new breakfast.
There was lettuce and a poached egg sandwiched between two slices of bread. Although the poached egg wasn't cooked through, there was still some yellow runny yolk in the yolk.
But it was a normal meal after all, and Lin Xue didn't mind at all. She picked up the sandwich and took a bite.
Seeing that Lin Xue had started eating, the Earl stopped paying attention to her and focused on cutting the steak in his hand until he finished his own portion of food before putting down his knife and fork.
"I'm going out for a bit. You stay in the castle and don't go out!"
After saying this, the count walked out of the restaurant.
Lin Xue didn't look at the departing count, calmly putting the last bite of food into her mouth.
Then he took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid, wiped his mouth, and said, "Cut me some fruit!"
Lin Xue tossed the handkerchief she had used to wipe her hands onto the table and went to the sofa in the living room.
He picked up the newspaper from the coffee table and started reading.
As Lin Xue turned around, the maid rolled her eyes at her retreating figure.
Perhaps the movement was too large, because the eyeball suddenly fell out of its socket, tossed in front of her, and flew off her head.
Fortunately, the maid was well-trained and had probably done this kind of thing so many times that she was already skilled at it.
She turned her hand 90 degrees behind her back, caught the eyeball smoothly, and then put it back into her eye socket.
The information in the newspaper was quite disorganized, recording all sorts of news, big and small, about the city.
The next train to Flower Town will arrive in three days. All residents who wish to visit Flower Town should remember to purchase tickets and board the train at 1 PM on the 29th!
This is one of the clues recorded on the official website. Because the clues and methods of leaving are different each time, the specific process is not recorded on the official website.
