Chu Yue looked at Cheng Ye thoughtfully.
Ever since she noticed something was wrong, the way she looked at Cheng Ye became more and more complicated.
From time to time, he would raise his head and glance at Cheng Ye, as if he wanted to find something out of him.
The more she stared at Cheng Ye, the stronger the feeling of familiarity in her heart.
If he wasn't familiar with it before, then he was hopelessly in love with this man.
Even if there is no reason.
Everyone was quiet at the dinner table, everyone hiding their own undercurrent of thoughts.
Soon, Cheng Ye finished his dinner.
He quickly stood up and prepared to escape from this place.
He strode to the piano on the second floor, and there was still no scary voice calling him from behind.
Cheng Ye frowned slightly.
I originally thought that Chu Yue would arrange a bunch of side tasks to torture him, but in the end there was nothing.
Chu Yue's eyes were dazed, and she faintly noticed something was wrong.
This uncomfortable feeling made her feel the falseness of the world.
It’s as if you are fake and so is the world.
She began to put away the plates silently, thinking about more things.
...
Ten minutes later, Chu Yue returned to her bedroom.
She wanted to see the scratches on the wall again.
Maybe it would make her think of something.
...
When she walked into the room, her eyes were suddenly attracted by the roses in the pen holder.
There are eleven roses in total, all delicate and dazzlingly red.
Slightly bloody smell.
Chu Yue stepped forward and touched the flowers, and saw a trace of blood on the barb of one of the roses.
The blood stains had dried, half hidden and half exposed by the branches and leaves.
The faint smell of blood is a bit familiar.
Chu Yue couldn't help but stretched out her little hand and took out the flower.
Under the moonlight, she bent her head slightly.
The small nose sniffed the sharp smell.
suddenly.
She looked up in surprise.
A pair of bright eyes were full of disbelief.
It was like an electric current coursed through her body, tingling from her fingertips all the way to her heart.
It hurts, it hurts.
Wrongful, very wronged.
It's like a drowning person finally being pulled out and taking his first breath.
This familiar smell is the smell that she misses day and night.
Tears gathered in his eyes and rolled back and forth.
She suddenly looked towards the bed, her face turned pale.
Those twisted scratches came into view.
The fragments of her struggle are still vivid in my mind.
ha.
Chu Yue suddenly smiled.
The hand holding the rose trembled a little.
She is no longer that innocent and innocent look, but has put on a very deceptive and delicate mask.
Taking off the innocence on her face, she calmly walked to the head of the bed and stretched out her hand to touch the marks on the head of the bed.
This was a trace that she used to record time and later used to tell herself to forget her true self.
The calm vertical line in front of her was a line she drew every day to remind herself when she still knew she was a player.
Because as time goes by, it becomes easier for her to be assimilated by the copy.
So, she had to use something to remind herself.
The crooked marks on the back were signs that she was about to forget herself, but then thought about it again after returning to bed, so her trembling hands twisted the scratches.
Later, it was difficult for her to remember who she was. She almost had to stare at the wall for a long time, or other opportunities could make her remember that she was a player.
Whenever she remembered, she would mark a mark on the wall.
But because the copy has not been launched, the game has not started.
Her waking moments became shorter and shorter, until finally, she sank completely.
Chu Yue touched the last scratch that was shaking violently and with great force.
That was the last time she remembered who she was.
I tried my best to keep myself as awake as possible before I made the final mark.
Sadly, halfway through her scratching.
She was swallowed up by the copy again.
She completely became a maid until someone came to save her.
Chu Yue's tears finally fell in large chunks.
Hot tears streaked across her delicate skin and fell on the worn sheets.
"It's okay, he's here."
"It's okay, Chu Yue."
Chu Yue comforted herself softly, as if Cheng Ye was by her side.
Now, there is no possibility of her being assimilated into the game.
Because the game officially started, she regained her memory and time was reset.
When she raised her eyes again, there were no tears in Chu Yue's eyes.
Her fingertips lightly touched the scratches.
Smile brightly.
Thanks to myself who worked hard.
Thanks to myself who loves Cheng Ye deeply.
Probably -
Even if I forget you, I will still fall in love with you again.
...
midnight.
Everything was silent.
Cheng Ye walked to the third floor and knocked gently on the third princess' door.
The knock on the door was loud and clear, a bit abrupt in the quiet night.
But no one was awakened.
Tonight is the first night, and the third princess looks even more special.
Even if you make a mistake, it's okay. The first time is always a matter of trial and error.
Cheng Ye raised his arm and was about to knock on the door again, but footsteps came from behind him...
Cheng Ye's hands were frozen in mid-air.
"Please do not approach the third floor after 8pm."
"If you are considered a gangster, you will be severely punished."
...It can't be so miserable.
Cheng Ye's face stiffened.
But it quickly returns to nature.
He turned around calmly and greeted Chu Yue who was walking towards him like an old friend: "Good evening, Yue Ji."
Chu Yue said nothing and looked at Cheng Ye with clear eyes.
She didn't recognize him, firstly because she stayed in the copy for too long, and secondly because he changed his appearance.
But fortunately, this is only the first night.
They have a long way to go.
"What are you doing?"
Cheng Ye was calm: "The third princess invited me to come to her in the afternoon."
"But it's already midnight." Chu Yue said softly.
A trace of imperceptible solemnity flashed in Cheng Ye's dark pupils.
This maid has become different.
She seemed more sad than during the day.
Why...
"I'm knocking on the door. Isn't this acting like a hooligan?"
Cheng Ye was exploiting the loopholes in Chu Yue's words.
After hearing this, Chu Yue suddenly smiled, with a smile on her face and a clear voice: "Yeah, it doesn't count."
She hadn't seen Cheng Ye like this for a long time.
Always find a way out of desperate situations and draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.
"Then -" Cheng Ye was ecstatic and planned to continue knocking on the door.
Chu Yue said playfully: "Let me guess, do you want to take the princess away today?"
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Don't embarrass him? Even help him?
The maid was taken away?
"Then take me away." Chu Yue's eyebrows arched, like the moon in the sky.
The skylight was behind Chu Yue, and the moonlight pouring down gave her figure a layer of backlight.
Cheng Ye didn't speak for a while. He was alert and thinking about the maid's motive for doing this.
What kind of trap is this?
But Chu Yue's expression remained unchanged, sweet and joyful.
A clear system beep that only she could hear rang in her ears.
【warn! Player "Chu Yue" is playing passively! 】
【warn! The character "maid" cannot use any body language or behavior to hint to the prince that she is the bride. 】
【warn! The behavior of player "Chu Yue" has been suspected of edging, please pay attention to your words and deeds! 】
...
Chu Yue still smiled so sweetly.
She really wanted to reach out and hold Cheng Ye's big hand.
She really, really missed him.
As she thought about it, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if crystal tears were hanging on them.
"No." Cheng Ye decisively rejected Chu Yue.
No joke, he could be chopped in half by a demon tomorrow morning.
Why would he take a maid away when he has nothing to do?
Cheng Ye's mind was spinning very fast. Since he appeared here now, the NPC did not judge him to have violated the rules.
So it means that he is allowed to come to the third floor at night, he just has to politely ask the princess to follow him voluntarily.
Probably the judgment of gangster means forced.
If he hadn't made so many preparations today, maybe no princess would be willing to go with him tonight.
I will also consider whether I lied deliberately because of the beauty of the princesses.
The princesses also consider the risks they take by trusting the other person, and how much wrath they have to bear if it turns out to be a lie.
Fortunately, he doesn't have such trouble now.
Cheng Ye raised his hand, ignored Chu Yue as if it were nothing, and continued to knock on the door regularly.
Chu Yue sighed.
She opened a partially authorized moderator panel.
Yes.
Newcomer copies usually have a moderator.
Yang Cunhua also said this to Cheng Ye.
So Cheng Ye naturally regarded Chu Yue as the host NPC.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with this logic.
But Chu Yue is a player, and she now has some NPC permissions...
It's because she met the most playful host among the NPC guides——
Hearts.
After he entered this dungeon, he discovered that a player who was seeking death had been assimilated.
So he took advantage of the fact that the other player hadn't entered the dungeon yet and didn't know anything, and he authorized part of the operating system to Chu Yue without anyone noticing.
Let her do the work for you.
Go and have fun playing cards by yourself.
Chu Yue still couldn't hold it back. She stopped what she was doing, stretched out her hand and pressed it on Cheng Ye's. She took the opportunity to hold him and asked softly: "Are you sure you are the third princess?"
Cheng Ye nodded, not knowing why.
Chu Yue looked at Cheng Ye deeply with serious eyes.
A few seconds later, Cheng Ye's choice was entered on the host's panel.
Then he said to Cheng Ye: "Okay, you can go back to sleep."
"Tomorrow morning, you will know whether you made the right choice."
Cheng Ye frowned: "I don't have to actually walk through the forest?"
Chu Yue smiled, as if looking at a child who needed care: "Yes, it is a junior copy after all."
"What about tomorrow morning?"
"Everyone must bear the consequences of their own choices." Chu Yue said softly.
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows.
This sentence sounds very familiar.
Chu Yue seemed to understand what Cheng Ye meant, and couldn't help but her eyes flashed.
After all, it was what he once loved to say.
At the same time, Cheng Ye suddenly froze.
He suddenly thought of the first night he and Wei Shengan came to this castle.
They checked the situation on the third floor.
And analyzed: the real princess is alive.
It has been confirmed that the eldest princess is dead.
But now, the third princess' door can't be knocked open.
so......
Cheng Ye's eyes became extremely solemn.
The third princess was also a corpse, so he made the wrong choice.
never mind.
Cheng Ye didn't regret anything about this.
After all, the first day itself is for testing.
but--
"Why have you become more agile?" Cheng Ye asked his own question.
It was clear that before tonight, Chu Yue was like a puppet on strings, occasionally acting smart, but it was definitely different from tonight.
Tonight, she can answer her own questions.
It even seemed to be reminding myself of something, consciously or unconsciously.
Whether it was a trap or good intentions, he couldn't tell.
"Maybe it's because I'm lazy." Chu Yue replied.
She was not wrong, after all, Hong Tao was indeed slacking off.
Cheng Ye was attracted by her smart little face and suddenly smiled.
But he had no interest in continuing to talk to her.
At this moment, Cheng Ye and Chu Yue had the faces of the prince and maid in the dungeon.
There's no sense of familiarity, it's too normal.
...
Chu Yue stared at Cheng Ye's leaving figure with some reluctance.
According to Cheng Ye's intelligence, as long as no one causes trouble, he can leave this dungeon tomorrow.
Chu Yue's long eyelashes fell down.
In her peripheral vision, only Cheng Ye's shadow was lengthened by the moonlight.
After a while, nothing happened.
She entered this dungeon to awaken Cheng Ye's memory.
But now it seems that too much time has been wasted by mistake, and he has caused so much chaos to Cheng Ye without being able to control it.
Thinking of this, Chu Yue's eyes became cold.
The little face is as cold as ice.
She opened the temporary system panel. In this host system, Hongtao arranged fifty side tasks for Cheng Ye tomorrow.
That's right.
The first day was ten.
The next day there were fifty.
If it comes to the third day, it's a hundred.
This wicked host was too lazy to categorize tasks, so he just lazily piled them all into his schedule.
Chu Yue calmly began to delete tasks.
Behind Cheng Ye's avatar, there was a densely packed list of tasks one after another.
But now, they were removed one by one by Chu Yue.
Hong Tao, who was playing cards, did not hear the system's mechanical prompts.
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the joy of playing cards.
In his opinion, he is just a newbie, so what if a newbie dies?
Not as important as his playing cards.
After the cards in his hand bottomed out, he jumped up and clapped his hands excitedly: "Hahahaha, I won again."
"No more playing, let's switch to mahjong."
"Okay, I'll beat you in mahjong too." Hong Tao said disdainfully.
He stood up and stretched.
At this time, I finally heard the numb prompt tone of the system:
[Ding dong, your preset task has been deleted. 】
[Ding dong, your preset task has been deleted. 】
[Ding dong, your preset task has been deleted. 】
...
Heart:! ! ! ! !
Heart:? ? ? ? ?
"Wait, wait." Hong Tao panicked.
He opened the system panel.
I saw that the tasks above were quickly disappearing.
He clicked on the screen frantically, but the permission had already been granted at that time.
No matter what he did, the panel wouldn't move at all.
"Damn it, these bitches are crazy!" Hong Tao couldn't help but yell.
"Hong Tao, what are you doing? You don't want to run away after winning."
"That's right, drag him over quickly,"
Heart was defeated by everyone and sat down on the mahjong table. She was no longer excited. She numbly grabbed the cards and called Chu Yue frantically.
A milky white panel lit up on Chu Yue's right side.
A temporary emergency call sign was flashing.
But she ignored him.
She calmly deleted tasks one after another.
After deleting the last task, she answered the phone slowly.
"Huh?" A sweet voice.
Heart's lungs are about to burst with anger, not to mention that the cards he draws now are not very good.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and add the task back to me!"
"No, I refuse." Chu Yue didn't even think about it.
"You dare to disobey the host?" Hong Tao was furious.
If he hadn't been busy playing cards, a new player was too lazy to host the copy, and an old player had designated it with a designated card, he wouldn't have simply let the old player issue the task on his behalf.
Chu Yue's voice was clear: "Ah, but my mission is to take good care of the prince..."
The clear black and white eyes revealed a hint of cunning.
Heart:? ? ?
"Seven tubes."
"Hurry up, why are you dazed!"
Heart: "Just wait for me!"
I'll be back after I finish playing this round of mahjong!
Chu Yue disconnected from the host and looked at the bright moonlight in the night sky.
There are no stars tonight and the moonlight is bright.
This mission must be completed immediately.
The host doesn't know when she will come back, and then she won't be able to control the scene.
Starting tomorrow, Cheng Ye will also have part of his body chopped off by the devil during breakfast.
As a rule, she couldn't prompt Cheng Ye.
Even if the damage sustained in the dungeon is not worth the damage, the dungeon will not be taken out.
But how can someone who loves you have the heart to let you suffer...
.......
It's time to end.
ps: Because many people think it’s relatively bland, I cut out part of the foreshadowing to speed up the progress. Kudos to me.
