This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 578 The Gospel from Hell

  In the corner of Master Zhao's manor, in the garden next to the servants' dormitory, there is a five-story bungalow with unique decoration.

   Its structure is in the shape of "Hui", with a green lawn on the outside and a spacious patio in the center, where many people live.

  Although the building here is not as grand as the main building, it is one of the few luxurious places in the entire settlement.

  People in the mansion call this "annex".

  The people who live here are all distinguished guests of the master's house. If they are not confidantes or family members of confidantes, or servants who specialize in serving them, they will definitely not be able to get close to this place.

   It is precisely because of this that even though this annex is located in a secluded corner away from the main building, there are still a large number of servants waiting on them.

   Yang Xiaoyang was born here.

  People here are very kind to her, especially after her grandpa, grandma and mother passed away due to illness, this kindness has risen to the level of enthusiasm—even graciousness.

  Especially the master, he treats her as his own. In addition to his meticulous care, he also allowed her to study and play with the young lady, and wear the same beautiful dress.

   Even more than that, he also gave her a "privilege" that other children did not have—allowing her to leave the annex freely.

  As long as she is in the manor, she can go wherever she wants.

   And if it is other children, even if they just go to the garden outside the annex, they will be taken back by the servant who saw them.

   Of course, as the price of freedom, there is always one or two uncles who never speak, and follow her wherever she goes.

   Even when she went to the toilet, she would guard the door.

  Her good friend Yinyin—the youngest daughter of the master, lost her temper with her father because of this, hoping to drive away that annoying "stalker".

  However, the master who favored his little daughter in every possible way on weekdays, never let go of this matter alone, and even threw his daughter into a small black room in a rage.

  Xiao Yang has never seen the master get so angry, and quickly persuades Yinyin that she doesn't care about being followed.

  Because she found that during the few days when her good friend was locked in the small dark room, there were two more pairs of eyes following her, and the uneasiness of being stared at was even stronger.

  Master may be suspicious.

   Suspected that he was instigating his daughter to help him escape from here.

In short, she lived very cautiously in those few days. For this reason, she deliberately acted clumsy, her self-care ability was very poor, and she couldn't survive without anyone taking care of her. wary.

  Although she is only six years old, she is far more precocious than her peers because she lived alone in a sheltered life since she was a child.

   Even though no one has ever told her about those complicated things, she can still see some of the carefully hidden intentions in other people's eyes.

  The reason why those uncles followed her was not for her safety, but just worried that she would run away from the manor.

  The master's love for her is not because of her pity or cuteness, let alone the reasons he claimed, but only because of her father.

   And the relationship between the master and father is not like the close friends between himself and Yinyin, it is just the pure mutual use between adults.

  Adults always like to think of a deceptive name for what they are doing to cover up the original ugly motives.

  She doesn't know much about what a merchant does, but she accidentally heard someone say that her father helped the master sell some farm items outside and made a lot of money.

  Father put her, mother, and grandparents here in exchange for the master's peace of mind and continuous help, and the master used her—her father's only remaining relative in this world—to tie him here.

   It is precisely because of this that the master asked Yinyin's teacher to teach her to read and write.

   This is not for her to learn any knowledge, or for Yinyin to have a playmate of similar age and knowledge, but just for her to write letters with her father.

  Perhaps the letters her father wrote to her were just to reassure the master? After all, if he was really that important to him, why didn't he even want to come back and see him.

  He hasn't come back for a long time, even when her mother left, he was outside. Sometimes she even couldn't help wondering if he already had a family outside, and the reason why he still maintains this father-daughter relationship is just to gain the trust of the master, not out of concern for himself.

   It's not impossible.

  I heard that before her father, there was also a merchant who helped the master, but one day he suddenly lost the news, and he didn't know if he died or disappeared unilaterally.

  Anyway, she never saw the family that the traveler left in the annex again in the manor.

  Maybe one day in the future, she will be like that family.

   She doesn't hate her father, though.

   Even after thinking about these things, she saw a lot more.

  There's nothing good in the wasteland anyway, why not stay here?

   At least life here is good, at least right now, and she has her best friend. As for the future, I will worry about it in the future. Anyway, she can't do anything now.

   If you want to say that the most important person in your life is Yin Yin without a doubt.

That little girl is the real lady in this manor, two years older than her, and different from everyone here, that lady really regards her as her good friend, not only caring about her from the bottom of her heart, but also for She was angry at the unfair treatment she received, and even defended her against the injustice... Although that naive elder sister always kindly messed things up, and occasionally got herself implicated, Xiao Yang didn't blame her.

   After finishing their homework every time, they will play happily together.

  Sometimes I catch crickets, sometimes I play house with dolls, and I play hide-and-seek with other children in the annex.

  Hide-and-seek is their favorite game because it briefly disappears from the grown-ups' sight, and everyone panics when the lamb is gone.

  The anxious look of those people is really unforgettable.

   It is precisely because of this that sometimes their goal of hide-and-seek will change from finding each other to helping the lamb hide, and then watching the group of servants turn the manor upside down.

   But Xiao Yang is very clear that this joke can only be played occasionally and cannot be overdone. When she feels that everyone is about to get serious, she will deliberately let the servants find her.

   For this reason, Yinyin often complained about her clumsiness.

  However, the young lady didn't know that it was all on her intention.

  Because it's going to be hard to end things otherwise...

   "Damn it... just came close to making that guy cry!"

  Sitting on the edge of the fountain in the garden in front of the annex, Yin Yin, with her calves dangling, sighed in frustration, propping her elbows on her knees, and resting her cheeks heavily on her palms.

  As usual, they made a fuss in the manor all afternoon, making the servants here anxious enough.

  However, unlike usual, her father didn't show up today, not even showing his face. He just told the old housekeeper to send the lamb back to the other building.

  The old butler didn't stay in the annex too much.

   It seems that a distinguished guest has come to the manor, he didn't even say anything to the two of them, and left in a hurry, so that Yinyin couldn't help feeling a little bored.

  So her father wasn't in a hurry this time, right?

  Wouldn’t it be that their work was wasted all afternoon?

   "Evidently such a good hiding place, it's impossible for them to think about it even if they try their best... The lamb is also, if only he could be more clever!"

  Listening to the lady's complaint, the lamb sitting on the side smiled honestly and said weakly.

   "I'm sorry, Sister Yinyin... Xiao Yang is too stupid."

   "No apology! Those who are not polite should apologize! Really, don't these guys have anything else to do? What is it like to follow a lady every day..."

  Looking at the lamb seriously, Yinyin continued to speak solemnly.

   "And oh, we're just playing hide and seek so you can be free for a while, and if it makes you feel even more upset, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"

   "Yinyin..." Xiao Yang looked at her moved, eyes filled with mist.

  She didn't tell her best friend.

  In fact, she doesn't really yearn for freedom, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with being followed at all. She has been used to it since she was born here.

  She didn't think that if she escaped from here, or hid, her current situation would change in any way.

   Maybe even if she ran away, the father who didn't see her often would send her back, just like he sent her mother, grandparents and others back in the past.

but…

   It feels so good to be cared about.

   "You guys, don't look at me like that, the person who made it is really embarrassed."

   Seeing those big watery eyes, Yin Yin suddenly looked away a little embarrassed, and scratched her cheeks that were itchy by the setting sun with her index finger.

   At this moment, her eyes suddenly fell on the nearby guest house, and her eyes lit up.

  She remembered a rumor she heard a long time ago—

  The former annex was actually the main building of the manor. Their family lived there at first, but they moved out after building a new house, and the original main building became an annex.

   In the deepest part of the basement of the annex, there is a door leading to the underground world hidden. That door existed in her grandfather's grandfather's time.

  She didn't know what was there.

  But she knew that no one could have imagined it!

"correct!"

   grabbed the lamb's hands, and Yinyin looked at her excitedly.

   "I think of a wonderful place! It is absolutely impossible for anyone to find it there! Come with me!"

  Looking at her swearing expression, the lamb felt vaguely uneasy, and they had already played a joke with the adults in the manor once today, and it would not be funny to make the same joke twice a day.

   Pulled by Yin Yin and jumped off the fountain, the lamb looked at her anxiously and said.

   "Wait a minute, Yinyin...how about we go again tomorrow, someone must be following us now, if we go now, wouldn't that wonderful location be exposed?"

   "Don't worry, it won't," Yin Yin approached her ear with a mysterious expression, and said in a low voice, "That place is in the annex... In the annex, wouldn't someone follow you?"

   Lamb hesitated for a while, then nodded slowly.

  If it is in the annex...

  Master should not be angry.

   Seeing this timid and fearful best friend finally mustered up her courage, the corners of Yinyin's mouth could not help but curl up into a happy smile.

"follow me!"

   After finishing speaking, she took the lamb and hurried towards the other building.

   Following behind the lady nervously, Xiao Yang watched as she led him to the north building of the annex, passed through the dark stairwell, and arrived at the basement floor of the annex.

  Lamb heard about this place, it is the warehouse of the annex, but because it is not very convenient to move things up and down, and there is nothing to store in this annex, so no one has used it for a long time.

   Usually, if there is something that needs to be put away temporarily, everyone simply throws it on the open space in the courtyard.

  Having lived here for so long, it was also the first time for her to come down.

  The basement was pitch black, with no electric lights, and the only light source was the flashlight that Yinyin brought down along with her. The gloom and cold that melted into the darkness made the lamb's calf tremble uncontrollably.

  The same goes for Yinyin who is standing next to her.

  Holding a flashlight in her hand, she froze in place motionless. Obviously, she did not expect that the basement of this annex was so spacious.

  It's like a maze here!

   "Where should we... go?" Xiao Yang gave Yin Yin a timid look, expecting her to retreat despite difficulties and give up the idea of ​​exploring the basement.

  However, she still underestimated the determination of this best friend to give her freedom.

   Yin Yin, who was still hesitating at first, just met the hesitant and timid gaze, and the trace of hesitation in her eyes disappeared instantly.

  She promised her that he would give her freedom. Even if it was just for a second, she hoped that she could live freely without having to endure those prying eyes.

   There is no more suitable place than here. Although it is a little dark, but from another angle, this may not be the best camouflage.

  In this labyrinth that no one cares about, even if it is not hide-and-seek, she can hide in and stay for a while, even if it is just to spend a short time without prying eyes.

   Of course, you can come here when you are not happy.

  The corner of Yinyin's mouth could not help but curl up into a smile.

  Thinking about it this way, this place is like their secret castle.

  Perhaps the prayer was answered, and she heard a faint sound in the dark.

  The voice seemed to be calling for something...

   What the **** is it talking about?

  She immediately pointed the flashlight over.

   "This way!"

  Looking at Yin Yin who suddenly started to walk forward, Xiao Yang hurriedly followed.

   "Yinyin...how about we go back."

   "Wait a minute! Right up ahead, we'll be there!"

  Finding the source of the voice, Yinyin walked forward with great interest.

  She had gradually forgotten whether she was continuing to walk to help her good friend find a perfect hiding place, or to hear what the voice was saying.

   Probably both.

  Xiao Yang looked at her back anxiously, feeling that things were gradually deviating from the original track, but he couldn't tell what went wrong.

   Yinyin seems to be very familiar with this place.

   Has she been here before?

   Obviously he never came down.

   Sure enough, I should go back early...

   It's just my own words, if they disappear at the same time, the master will definitely be mad.

  The two walked in the dark basement for a while, and came to a room full of sundries.

  I saw a rusty iron door standing behind a pile of abandoned wooden boxes.

   If you don't look carefully, you won't even find it.

  At least the first time she saw it, she regarded it as a waste product leaning against the wall.

"This is…"

   Yinyin stared at the door with piercing eyes.

   "I don't know, but it should be here."

  Lamb finally couldn't help asking out the doubts in his heart.

   "Sister Yinyin...how did you find this place?"

  Yinyin gave the lamb a strange look.

   "Didn't you hear?"

   Lamb was stunned.

   "... hear?"

   Aren't there only two of them here?

   Is there a third person...

  Her little face gradually paled.

"Yeah!" Yinyin nodded vigorously and said excitedly, "Just when I was silently praying in my heart that it would be great if I could find that door, I heard that voice! Although I couldn't make out what it was saying , but I can feel that it said a lot of things, it should invite us to go over!"

"heard it…"

   So what did you hear?

  The lamb looked at Yin Yin blankly, and was about to ask, but saw that she had already walked up excitedly, grabbed the rusty doorknob with both hands, and pulled back with all his strength.

   "...Lamb! Help me!"

  Looking at the still iron gate, the lamb said dumbfoundedly.

   "Wait a minute, Sister Yinyin, we don't have a key, if we just force it like this..."

   "What are you talking about! This door doesn't have a key slot at all, it should be able to be opened directly...Ah! I feel it move! Help me—"

  Before she finished speaking, her movements suddenly stopped suddenly, and her eyes lost their luster.

   Before the lamb came back to his senses, he saw her let go of the doorknob and fell limply to the ground.

   "Yinyin—!"

   Electric shock?

   Or...poison gas?

  The lamb’s face turned pale, but in the end he didn’t turn around and run away. Gritting his teeth, he rushed over, supported Yin Yin who was limp on the ground with his hands, and dragged her away from the door.

  However, even after leaving the door, Yinyin showed no signs of waking up. If she wasn't still breathing, she would look as if she was dead.

"In the end what happened?"

  Looking at the immovable iron door, the lamb’s eyes were full of fear, and he didn’t dare to stay here for a moment. He dragged the unconscious Yin Yin back to the entrance of the basement, and then rushed to the stairs to ask for help.

   It was pitch black outside.

   It didn't feel like it had been a long time, but it was getting dark outside.

   The lamb standing at the door of the North Building looked around and found that it was empty and there was no one there.

it's wired…

  Although they were in the annex, they had disappeared for almost half an hour, and no one came to find them, as if they had been completely forgotten.

  All kinds of abnormal situations caused a trace of uneasiness in her eyes, but out of concern for Yinyin, she still mustered up the courage to shout out.

   "Miss passed out! Is there anyone here... Come on someone—"

   Before her words fell, a dull and rude growl interrupted her voice.

   "Ugh..."

  I saw a woman with her head and shoulders drooping, her neck was crooked, standing in the corridor near the stairwell, a pair of empty eyes were looking straight at her.

   That appearance is indescribably weird.

  There was a chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow in those eyes.

  Seeing the woman limping towards this side, the lamb swallowed and took a step back in horror.

   "Don't...don't come here."

  She didn't know why she wanted to run away, but her legs moved instinctively, dragging her stiff body and rushing towards the stairwell as if desperately.

   Intuition told her that if she was caught, it would be over.

  The moment she rushed into the stairwell, the woman quickened her staggering pace and rushed towards her with a low growl.

   Not daring to look back, the lamb rushed to the basement and used all his strength to close the basement door heavily. At the same time, he grabbed the steel bar that fell on the ground and inserted it into the door handle.

  Almost at the same time, a loud bang came from outside the door, followed by a violent shaking of the door panel, and something hit it.

"ah-!"

   The lamb screamed and took two steps back, looking at the crumbling door, his eyes filled with horror.

  She didn't know what was going on with that woman.

   I don't even know what happened outside.

   Everyone is obviously a very good person, and they always treat her with kindness and amiability, why did they suddenly become like that? !

  The sound of banging on the door suddenly stopped.

   The man outside seems to have given up.

  The lamb squatting in the dark held his breath, staring straight at the closed door, not daring to make a sound.

  She can be sure that the person is not gone.

   That heavy snort was even stuck to the door!

  She could even conclude that the man was waiting for her outside the door, and when she opened the door a little to see the situation outside, he immediately rushed in and tore her to pieces.

   But why?

  What happened to everyone? !

  Sitting shivering in the darkness, I don't know how long it took, when the lamb felt that his eyelids were about to start fighting, a faint sound suddenly came from the darkness behind him.

   At first she was startled by the movement, until she heard her own name.

   "Lamb..."

  The sound was like a candle in the dark.

  Hearing the weak call, the lamb rushed over immediately, knelt down beside Yin Yin, his eyes filled with tears, and held her limp hand.

   "Yin Yin!"

"sorry…"

   "It's okay, just wake up!"

   "No, it's not..."

  Yinyin shook her head with a painful expression, put her head in her hands, and muttered to herself, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have been smart enough to find it... It's angry, it must be because of me..."

   "...Angry?" Lamb's eyes were full of confusion.

  Intuition told her that what Yinyin said at the moment was related to what was happening outside.

  Could it be...

   Is that voice? !

  However, Yinyin had no intention of explaining, she just kept her head in her arms and repeated that sentence to herself.

"sorry Sorry…"

   "Yinyin! Calm down—"

  Xiao Yang grabbed her shoulder, trying to comfort her to calm down, but Yin Yin, who was holding her head and complaining about herself, suddenly grabbed her hand.

   "Lamb...help me..."

   Lamb looked at her seriously.

   "What do you need me to do? I will definitely help you!"

  A smile of relief appeared on Yinyin's painful face.

   "Tie me up...."

   "Bundle, tie up?!"

   "Mmm!" Yin Yin squeezed out a trace of pain on her face, and there was bean-sized sweat on her forehead, and she urged eagerly, "Hurry up!"

  Seeing her trying her best to endure something, Xiao Yang suddenly remembered the woman outside, and then her hands and feet became cold.

  Is she also...

   "...It's going to be too late."

  Patience seemed to have reached its limit, Yinyin's face was full of despair, and her precarious consciousness went into a trance along with her gradually hollow eyes.

"nothing…"

  For some reason, Xiao Yang suddenly felt less afraid.

  She squeezed Yinyin's hand and said softly.

   "I'll be with you..."

  The sheep in the sheepfold will be eaten one day, no matter how close it is to the shepherd’s family. If you want to say why, because this is something that was decided the moment it was born.

  She never thinks about the future, because she always knows her ending.

   Instead of worrying about the things that have been decided, it is better to live a happy life every day, at least not to disappoint the joy and happiness at this moment.

  She has a good relationship with the shepherd's family, especially the youngest daughter of the family. She could feel that in this manor, only Yinyin treated her well from the bottom of her heart without asking for anything in return.

   It will end up being eaten anyway.

  If it's Yin Yin, it's not bad...

  At this moment, there were a few short gunshots outside the door, followed by deep roars, random running, and the blunt sound of metal chopping bones.

   "Day - there is no end!"

   Faintly, the lamb heard someone talking, but she couldn't understand what the person was saying.

   There was a short bump, and something spilled on the door.

  The man was pulling out something while rambling non-stop.

   "Damn it, this Dogecoin mission only gives you 100,000 yuan, it's really a loss to grandma's house! No, I don't seem to have any money... stupid!"

   At the same time as the voice fell, there was a "boom", and the crumbling door was kicked open, and fell to the ground with a bang.

  The lamb stared blankly at the door.

  I saw a jet-black armor standing there.

  The helmet covered the man's entire face, making it impossible to see his expression.

  He held an automatic rifle under his right arm, and a short knife in his left hand. His whole body was covered with blood, and there seemed to be a few pieces of meat hanging on him, making him look extremely hideous.

"your name?"

   She understood this sentence.

  Although she didn't recognize the person in front of her, she still replied tremblingly.

   "Little...sheep."

  The man breathed a sigh of relief, and threw an inexplicable sentence at her.

"mission completed…"

   "Remember the good reviews."
