The brain has the instinct to protect itself, and it will check unconsciously when it detects danger. Whether it's the sound or the sight, they will instinctively turn their heads back.

But in just half a second, Chi Yiyin forcibly restrained his instinctive reaction. He still remembered the rule that if he saw a female ghost, he would be killed. He couldn't turn around hastily without confirming whether the female ghost was behind him now.

Moreover, after the initial surprise, he had already recognized the owner of the voice.

-housekeeper.

One second he was still talking about letting the eldest miss go to see his parents, but the next second he not only locked the door, but also appeared behind him silently.

Either the butler is malicious towards the eldest lady, and all players will be targeted by the butler. However, Chi Yiyin has doubts about this for the time being. He is now separated from all the players, so there is no way to confirm it.

Or another possibility is that the butler is dissatisfied with him and specifically prevents him from going to the banquet hall to meet his "parents".

But as soon as this idea came out, Chi Yiyin frowned.

Although he is a player participating in the dungeon, he knows the system announcements and rules, and knows that he will die if he fails to complete the task, but the butler is an NPC character in the dungeon, which is different from him.

Regardless of his current understanding of NPCs or the previous reactions of other players, NPCs will not participate in the affairs of players and the system, and only focus on the original story of the instance.

That is to say, there is no housekeeper who is dissatisfied with him, Chi Yiyin - even when he was outside the house, he tossed the housekeeper so much that he couldn't get off the stage.

...is what the butler wants to do to the eldest lady.

In a short moment, Chi Yiyin quickly regained his composure, and at the same time noticed the rapidly rising temperature around him.

It seems that the female ghost has left.

Just when the butler appeared.

disgust? fear?

When he deliberately spoke ill of the housekeeper in front of the female ghost, the female ghost did not refute him.

Although Chi Yiyin was a little puzzled, she still smiled and said to the people behind her: "I should ask you this, housekeeper. I just got home and was going to visit my parents. Why did you stop me?"

And locked the gate, as in the carriage, lest he should escape.

Chi Yiyin looked at the courtyard gate that was close at hand, her eyes dimmed.

He counted down silently in his heart, starting from the 6 minutes just now, even if he set off immediately, it would be difficult to catch up...I'm afraid he will have to find other alternative methods.

The housekeeper didn't deny his identity, but he didn't care about Chi Yiyin's accusation. He just snorted and said contemptuously, "Miss, do you really not know, or are you just pretending to be stupid with me?"

"Don't you know that Madam was seriously ill in bed because of your anger, and she refused to see anyone for a long time. The master is also busy working on the Ma family's property, and hasn't come home for a long time?"

As soon as these words came out, Chi Yiyin was startled.

Leaving aside the truth and falsehood of being mad at my mother by my sister, if the Ma family and his wife didn't show up, why did the housekeeper let everyone go to the banquet hall just now? The most important protagonist is not there. For the instance NPC, it is just four children, and there is no need to gather at all.

This is almost incomprehensible to the era a hundred years ago that valued seniority and inferiority.

Unless... it's a Hongmen Banquet.

Chi Yiyin paused, aware of the maliciousness of the copy. Go to the banquet on time, Hongmen banquet, if you give up the banquet, there is a high probability that you will die.

The two ways of forward and backward have been blocked. Players know that moving forward is death, and they also know that they have to bite the bullet and step into the trap of the dungeon.

But in terms of his current situation, being entangled by the housekeeper, it is difficult to escape in a short time, with only five minutes and one second left, it is obviously impossible to find the banquet hall where he does not know.

Chi Yiyin immediately looked around, his brain running fast, looking for a way to get him out of the dangerous situation in front of him.

"I have no idea."

The housekeeper was still waiting for his answer, Chi Yiyin continued to play her role seriously while thinking wildly quietly, and said coldly: "I go to school far away, how would I know."

Chi Yiyin never turned around to look back—and there was no need for it.

The weak sunlight allowed him to see the shadows on the ground when he was standing against the light. The female ghost did not have a shadow, but the butler did.

After the words fell, Chi Yiyin's eyes tightened instantly.

When he saw the butler's shadow on the ground, he changed from a human form to a ferocious one in an instant, baring his teeth and claws like a tangled snake, hissing and spitting his words as he approached him.

At the same time, the steward's voice sounded eerie, causing a resonance like the ventriloquist of a snake, making the listener feel as if a cold, sticky snake wrapped around his arms and legs, and his hairs stood on end.

"Unforgivable, unforgivable! Miss, you have ruined the reputation of the Ma family and shamed such a famous family as the Ma family. The master and wife are kind and spared your life, and you still don't know how to repent!"

"Not only are you not ashamed, but you're also refusing to save the Ma family! Damn white-eyed wolf, you will definitely destroy the Ma family!"

The butler roared in a low voice, and the stench of the wind rushed towards Chi Yiyin, blowing the originally beautiful landscape in the courtyard upside down and in dilapidated condition in an instant.

Chi Yiyin was also blown unsteadily by the strong wind, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, and could only half-close his eyes due to the stench.

And through the gaps in the hair, he sideways saw the butler's current appearance.

The man who was wearing a long gown like a bone frame had completely mutated, and was irritated by the possibility that "the eldest lady will destroy the Ma family", and turned into a skeleton with a height of three to four meters.

The gown has long been torn, revealing groups of snakes and snakes entangled in the skeleton, swimming frantically in the air, trying to get closer to Chi Yiyin.

It's like maggots on rotting bones.

Even the players before the live broadcast were stunned when they saw the butler's image clearly.

[Grass! Isn't this a copy of Carnival? Why is there such a thing! Snakes, skeletons... vomit! ]

[My god, what luck is this newcomer, to directly trigger the butler's branch line, and he will definitely die if it's over. ]

[He still has a banquet task, right? It must be impossible to catch up. ]

[Is he the only one who triggers the butler now? Could it be because he offended the housekeeper outside the house before? Alas, the newbie just can't hold his breath...]

[The current number of viewers is 4002, and the number of followers is 903. Survivors please pay attention, the popularity of the live broadcast room is dropping rapidly]

The skeleton's teeth and jaws opened and closed, and the stench made Chi Yiyin frowned.

"You must never let you ruin the Ma family, it would be better for me to kill you!"

The roar made Chi Yiyin's eardrums ache, and he didn't have time to be surprised by why the butler became like this, he first saw the butler slapping his giant palm against him, covering the faint sunlight.

The system went online in time: [Congratulations! You have triggered "The Butler's Hatred", the current hatred value is 90/100, the NPC's comprehensive hatred value is 53, and it is currently ranked first! 】

[It seems that no one likes you, whether it is parents, siblings or servants, not even friends. Is this your sad life? 】

[You have successfully started your escape journey, it is recommended that you start running as much as you want now - being caught may be worse than death. 】

[Mission 'Banquet Room' countdown 00:04:03]

【"There is a ghost behind" continues to take effect...】

The continuous reminders in his mind combined with the cold mechanical sound made Chi Yiyin squint his eyes, feeling that the system really loved him, like this layer upon layer of murder books, tsk.

But even though he was dissatisfied, Chi Yiyin ran away without the slightest hesitation.

Countless long snakes roamed on the ground, quickly blocking the courtyard gate airtight, and the snake wall surged and entangled, making one's scalp numb.

But Chi Yiyin smiled slightly, and immediately turned the direction of his feet, rushing to the other side away from the gate.

There, a beautiful swing in the center of the garden is covered with creeping flowers.

But the swing without anyone was shaking gently by itself.

"Squeal!"

"Crackling..."

The ear-piercing sound of rubbing echoed in the deserted garden, and the fine horror spread, weaving into a net to firmly hold the heart tightly, as creepy as suffocation.

Chi Yiyin closed her eyes for an instant.
