Joey took a deep breath and shook his head, thinking it was his imagination.
He kept shaking his head repeatedly until he got out of the underground passage, and the uncoordinated feeling disappeared.
Looking at the clock on the wall, only half an hour has passed. It feels like I have been underground for a long time. The confusion of time is very uncomfortable.
"Can the door affect time? It's really scary." Joey looked back with lingering fear. In the darkness, it seemed that there was an eye watching over there.
Wade Wesker walked over with a serious face and sounded a rich voice.
"Joy, you are already a qualified warrior. Now I need you to go on a mission with me. An extraordinary event happened in Count Allen's house. It is very likely that the disciples of the dead are causing trouble. I need your inspiration."
"You've just tasted the sweetness and you're going to risk your life?" Joey reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay, Captain."
He refused in his heart, "Please, I'm just a Sequence Nine scumbag."
Earl Allen has the title of earl. Most of these people are palace nobles or relatives of the royal family. In their own territory, they enjoy military power, and many of them are high-sequence extraordinary people.
Joey couldn't figure out why the nobility would deploy personnel from the Public Security Department since they all had their own bodyguards.
He looked slightly uneasy, but looking at Captain Wade's solemn expression, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only follow silently.
In such silence, the two got on the carriage. After driving for a while, it was obvious that the closer they got to the palace, the more prosperous and exquisite the surrounding buildings became.
It can be regarded as a loan. In terms of status, Joey cannot see the aristocracy.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a luxurious and huge manor, which looked like a castle.
"Ancient emperors, maybe that's it. How many people can live here?" Joey secretly complained.
The two of them waited outside the door, and soon a man in a tuxedo suit came over and opened the door.
In Senegal, a butler is a standard status symbol. In the manor, there are many servants dressed as maids busy, with long white legs that are eye-catching.
"Listen to me, no matter what happens next, don't speak or take any action. Just say your name silently in your heart and don't stop."
Joey was confused for a while, but he still chose to believe in Wade and began to recite the name silently over and over again.
There is still a long distance from the gate to the castle. As they walked, Wade whispered:
"There is an extraordinary item in Count Allen's house, 0-013. The purpose of the Necromancer disciples is very likely to be it. Among many sealed objects, 0-013 is a very dangerous existence. It has the ability to erase everything."
"Time is running out. I only found out that 0-013 was out of control when I entered here. Remember, don't forget your existence."
Joey looked at Vader blankly, feeling very depressed: "I thought I was just here to make some fun, but now you tell me, it's dangerous? What's going on?"
"Why don't we run away?"
He has only been in the Survey Corps for a short time, but he still knows one thing. Extraordinary sealed objects starting with 0-, are very dangerous.
"It's too late." Vader shook his head solemnly, "We were already noticed by 0-013 when we accepted this mission."
"Ah?" Joey's face was full of surprise, and his voice was accidentally loud. He quickly covered his mouth and whispered: "0-013 is so scary."
"Remember, don't follow the director's arrangements. You are yourself, not an actor."
Although there were still many questions, the two of them had already arrived at the castle, and the door slowly opened, as if a huge mouth of the abyss had opened, choosing people to eat.
The inspiration from the lucky master is always giving warnings.
"How about running away?" He had the urge to abandon Vader Wesker and run away alone, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it. He finally managed to get a legal identity, and Vader would hold up if the sky fell.
He wanted to twist his neck to relieve his restless mood, but his body suddenly froze, and Joey found that he couldn't seem to move.
Only his eyes could blink, and his body involuntarily bent over and prostrated on the ground. Although there was nothing in his hand, he was still wiping the floor.
Since Wade Wesker entered the castle, his back has been straightened, his steps have gradually changed into military goose steps, and he chants the chant '121'.
It was also because of Wade's loud trumpet that Joey came out of his daze, and he quickly recited his name silently.
After chanting it a dozen times in a row, the stiffness and numbness in the body disappeared.
He looked at Wade and opened his mouth, but he did not dare to utter any syllables.
Suddenly, Vader Wesker's voice rose a little higher.
"The creator of light, darkness is driven away by you, your warmth shines on the earth, the sun will expose your skin, and the night will swallow your warmth..."
Joey found that as Wade finished speaking, most of the discomfort of being restrained disappeared.
"Captain, just now, was that the ability of 0-013?"
Wade nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice:
"Joy, you didn't take my words to heart."
Vader walked cautiously towards the depths. He looked awkward, just like the hundred-man rebel army that faced the riot last time. If he was not careful, the lives of the hostages would be in danger.
Following behind, looking at Vader's movements, it seemed like there was some kind of mechanism on the ground, and he followed suit.
Not long after, I arrived on the second floor and opened a small door. On the luxurious leather chair in the center, there was a middle-aged man, 'Earl Allen', sitting.
He wore gorgeous robes, a noble hat, and held a golden staff, demonstrating his supreme status. The high nose bridge and deep eyes look calm and confident.
Behind him, followed a group of gorgeous maids, their graceful postures and elegant manners showed their noble demeanor. Every step he takes seems light and powerful, making people want to stand in awe and salute.
These people, except for Earl Allen, the rest of the waitresses are like puppets, with no expression on their faces, dull and stiff.
Wade stepped forward slowly and bowed deeply.
"Alan, I'm sorry, I'm late."
The earl forced a smile on his face, and then took a deep breath.
"It's not too late, I'm glad you could come, my friend, Vader Wesker"
As he spoke, he moved his gaze towards Joey.
"Joy Creevey, I'm the captain's... deputy." He paused for a few seconds before he thought of a word to introduce himself.
Then he pointed to the maids and said:
"Are they still alive?"
Whether it is their expressions or movements, these people are more like puppets.
Allen seemed to be surprised by Joey's question. He glanced at Wade with a surprised look and asked, "You didn't tell him?"
"Yes, I didn't know that 0-013 was out of control until I got here."
Earl Allen looked at Joey with a sympathetic look, and then sighed and said, "It's unfortunate that you were involved."
"They are actually already dead." At this point, he smiled wryly and spread his hands: "Actually, I'm not far from death either."
"Captain, I think you should tell me something about 0-013 Sealed Artifact now."
He was fine an hour ago, but now his life hangs in the air. Joey said he was innocent.
"The ability of Sealed Artifact 0-013 is to direct a drama, and the people in the drama must cooperate to complete the performance."
So what's the situation now? Joey was still in a daze when he suddenly remembered the scene of him bending over to wipe the floor. "The role assigned to me is a servant?"
Ability is easy to understand, but it is almost impossible to avoid it. Once you enter the story of 0-013, you will lose yourself unconsciously.
Wade Wesker coughed lightly and asked solemnly: "So, tell me now, where is Allen?"
"Huh?" Joey looked surprised. Isn't Earl Allen right in front of him?
With a face full of questions, he turned his gaze to 'Earl Allen' on the luxurious leather chair.
"He is imprisoned in the basement and must ruin the drama. I can feel that time is running out."
Wade Wesker turned his head and told Joey: "Remember your identity."
What he said is to always stay true to your heart and not be affected by 0-013.
"Now tell me, what is the name of this play?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed unnaturally on 'Earl Allen''s face. He hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking:
"The real and fake Earl's substitute lover"
Joey smelled dog blood.
The general meaning is that as a noble earl, he was greedy for wine and lust, and got tired of aristocratic women. Then he found a substitute to replace himself, went to the civilian class to start a family with someone, and then got tired of the toil of the common people and wanted to be an earl again. The identity is completely replaced, and then there is a long emotional story of love and hate.
He even doubted whether 0-013 was a rotten girl. How could anyone, for love, not only want money, but also have a good head for love?
The princess can only be equipped with a prince, and the beggar is a fairy tale, not a fairy tale.
So where is the plot going now?
Exit the side hall and walk towards the basement.
Vader Wesker slowed down his pace, looking around from time to time, always vigilant.
"I can only believe three points of his words. We can't be sure whether this is also part of the script."
Boom, boom, boom!
The wall clock on the wall chimes the hour, which is particularly loud in the empty castle.
It's more like a signal, or a switch.
As the bell rang, the originally silent castle seemed to be busy. The maid began to clean, the housekeeper made rounds, and the chef prepared dinner.
While Joey was still stunned, he saw the captain walking to one side, picking up a bucket and a brush, and started cleaning.
"team leader?"
Have you been affected? It shouldn’t be, why don’t I feel it?
"Joy, remember your identity. While playing a good role in the script, don't get lost. Losing is equal to death."
Co-authored, just pretend!
But, what is the situation now? Can anyone tell me what I do?
Soon, the butler in a tuxedo told the answer.
He came over and kicked Joey viciously.
"Creevey, is your brain filled with horse manure? Go feed the horses!"
. . .
At the Castle Manor Horse Farm, Joey covered his nose and licked the grass for the stables.
"What does a horse play in a play? Is it also a horse?"
"The white dragon's horse hooves face west..."
"On a sunny morning, the black horse prince and his snow-white frog..."
He could only divert his attention through random thoughts. If he was not careful, he would lose consciousness. When he regained consciousness, he was already working as a groom.
Joey knew that under this subtle influence, he would eventually lose himself and completely become a character in the drama.
In the aristocratic mansion, there are obvious class differences. Everyone has his own scope of activities and cannot cross the boundaries.
The groom was not allowed to enter the mansion, and he could only eat, drink, and sleep at the racecourse.
"Is this a way out?"
How can I find clues if I can't leave the stable?
"0-013 is the director. In the crew, it is order. Through mental influence, the actors are assimilated. We must find ways to avoid mental pollution."
Joey fed the horse and thought hard.
"Spiritual assimilation, to a certain extent, is similar to crazy babble. Gray fog can block babble. Can it also block spiritual assimilation?"
After the experience of creating a trumpet, the idea of dividing consciousness quickly came to mind.
Then he divided a part of it and realized the Round Table Hall, condensing his body as 'Cang Long'.
After connecting his consciousness to the Round Table Hall, Joey suddenly discovered that his control over his body had become much more flexible, and he was immediately overjoyed.
"It really works!"
In his current state, in a sense, he has gotten rid of the mental assimilation from 0-013, because he has a part of consciousness and is awake all the time.
The first step has been successfully completed, and the next step should be to find Vader Wesker.
He bypassed the stables and walked to the other side of the castle. At first, he carefully avoided the maids and gardeners, but later he discovered that these people, who appeared to be normal people, were actually programmed machine puppets.
He would only repeat the same actions and do the established things, and would not notice his surprise.
In this way, Joey walked openly in the castle manor, passing through the crowd, and no one paid any attention to him.
The lumberjack held his ax and chopped down the non-existent tree. The gardener used the scissors in his hand to trim the bare potted plants. The ground was covered with withered yellow branches and leaves.
. . . .
There are still many weird things. I searched all the way but couldn't find Vader, and I inevitably started to feel worried.
When passing by a garden, I saw a sneaky figure in the distance.
"Um···?"
Behavior outside the script.
From a dramatic perspective, this should be the protagonist.
He followed up cautiously, hiding his body in the flower bed, and listened with open ears.
"No eyes to see, no eyes to see!"
As far as the eye could see, two figures were hugging each other and kissing.
"Captain, what are you doing!"
In the garden, Vader Wesker stared lovingly at the woman opposite.
She wore a luxurious evening gown studded with sparkling gems. Curly blond hair was coiled on the top of her head, and there was a cold air on her tight face. When she smiled slightly, the arrogance disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a soft expression, which seemed to have a mysterious and alluring charm, and her sapphire blue eyes made people involuntarily attracted.
Joey gritted his teeth, and his envious eyes almost burst into flames. He looked up at the sky, pinched his lips, and murmured to himself:
"Director, I asked for a substitution! Why, why should he..."
