MTL - Fucking Beauty In Escape Game-Chapter 43
Duan Zhen found the light switch in the house.
Logically speaking, there must be no such high-end things as electric lights in this world. But after he tentatively touched the switch next to the wall, the roof actually shone brightly.
He looked up for a moment, sure that it was a night pearl, but it became controllable for some reason.
Thinking of the light on the sword that he saw in the hunting ground, Duan Zhen gave up studying its principle.
The state of the servant before he left was very strange. After experiencing so many worlds, Duan Zhen became more and more sensitive to this kind of thing, and his intuition was that there was something wrong. Behind the secrets of this world, there must be a murderous intent hidden.
Thinking that Li Xi has no memory now, he frowned slightly, wondering if he should ignore the previous servant's warning and go look for Li Xi.
The sky outside was getting darker and darker. Obviously, there were lights made of magic in this city, but the whole city seemed to be plunged into darkness, and there was no light to be seen.
There was a sudden click of the door, Duan Zhen's muscles tensed, and he bent down slightly, already making an attacking gesture.
It was Li Xi who came in. He had already changed into a black robe.
"What are you doing standing there, come here." He glanced at Duan Zhen.
Duan Zhen hesitated for a moment, then walked over.
Li Xi opened his hand as a matter of course, and gestured for him to undress himself with his eyes.
Duan Zhen understands that what he does as a follower is to take care of Li Xi personally, it is very convenient to think of it this way, and wonders if he can find a chance for Li Xi to recover his memory.
Countless thoughts swirled in his mind, but he didn't show anything on his face, he lowered his head to unbutton Li Xi's button.
Under the black robe was a white shirt with various decorations and dark loose trousers. Duan Zhen calmly unbuttoned the shirt, and inside was a young white jade body.
"The pajamas are in the closet." Li Xi half-closed his eyes and yawned: "You sleep in the cubicle tonight."
The compartment is on the left side of the room, and only this door leads to the outside.
Duan Zhen took the pajamas from the cabinet, which was a robe made of smooth and soft fabric. He was about to put on the shirtless Li Xi, but the young master stretched out his hand against him in displeasure: "Take off your pants first."
"...Yes." Duan Zhen paused.
He squatted down, untied Li Xi's belt deftly with his fingers, and took off Li Xi's pants and shoes lightly and quickly, as if he didn't dare to look at him at first glance, and immediately got up to help Li Xi put on his pajamas.
Seeing him like this, Li Xi raised his eyebrows, dispelled a lot of the heavy sleepiness, and smiled with his lips curled up: "Why don't you dare to look at me?"
Duan Zhen lowered his head: "I'm just a follower, I dare not look directly at Your Excellency."
"Are you afraid to look at me directly, or are you afraid to look at my body?" Li Xi grabbed his collar and let him get closer to him.
Duan Zhen looked away and said, "It's all the same."
Li Xi squinted his eyes to look at him, and smiled shortly: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, go to sleep."
Duan Zhen said good, and was about to turn off the light, but Li Xi suddenly said: "You don't need to turn off the light, just turn it on."
"Yes." Duan Zhen didn't remember Li Xi's habit of sleeping with the lights on, so he kept this difference in his heart. He walked into the cubicle, and the bed inside was against the wall. Because there were no windows, the air circulation was not good, and it was quite dull to breathe.
Duan Zhen first checked the bottom of the bed and other places carefully, and then lay down directly on it after making sure there was nothing wrong.
I don't know if it's because the sound insulation is too good or what, after Duan Zhen closed his eyes, he realized that it was too quiet here. On a normal summer night, there should be at least the sound of insects, and at worst the rustling of leaves, but he heard nothing.
What made Duan Zhen feel at ease was that he could hear Li Xi turning over on the bed and taking long breaths.
It seemed that the people outside were sleeping very peacefully due to amnesia, but Duan Zhen didn't dare to relax any more, but closed his eyes and listened intently to the movement outside, planning to rush out if something went wrong.
I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was a low humming sound, which rang twelve times in a row. Duan Zhen suddenly realized that it was only the chime of midnight.
And what followed was noise.
At first there was little movement, like someone shuffling up and down the stairs, wandering in the corridors. Those footsteps were aimless, as if they were simply circling the room.
After a few minutes, Duan Zhen heard voices from the city outside. Different from the footsteps in this house, what came from outside was the roar of a beast and an unknown sharp howl.
Duan Zhen slowly sat up from the bed, leaning against the wall to listen to the movement outside, frowning tightly.
The footsteps are very light, but they seem to be gathering in this direction. Suddenly, he jumped back, and a pale hand stretched out from the place where the ear was attached just now.
That hand was translucent, pale and dry, with long and sharp nails, revealing a disturbing black-purple color. If Duan Zhen didn't dodge, then it probably didn't penetrate the wall, but his head.
Duan Zhen didn't move, he stared at the place where the hand met the wall, and quickly confirmed the identity of the thing - the undead.
— After twelve o’clock in the evening in this world, everyone will turn into undead, wandering around, thirsting for the flesh and blood of the living.
Duan Zhen didn't have a charm on him for the time being, and he frowned when he saw that the undead wanted to come directly through the wall.
If all the undead here could enter the room, then Li Xi, who was still sleeping soundly outside, might be in danger. Although Li Xi's memory was replaced, the undead didn't care about it.
Duan Zhen retreated to the door and pushed it open, wanting to see Li Xi's condition.
Unexpectedly, the light from outside came in through the crack of the door, and the undead seemed to be burned by flames, with faint scorched marks on his skin, and he quickly retracted his hand.
Are they afraid of light?
The props that Duan Zhen brought this time were placed with other people, and it was a little difficult to deal with undead, which were not effective in physical attacks. However, now that the weakness is discovered, it is much more convenient.
He didn't worry about the people outside, and there were spells against the undead in his backpack. If Xia Qirong and the others were more alert, they would naturally find out the weaknesses of these undead. Everyone is a team, and Duan Zhen has confidence in their strength.
He opened the door of the compartment, and the light came in. The undead were still wandering outside, but they didn't dare to try to enter the room again.
Duan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was safe in this room at least now, so he stepped forward to shake Li Xi.
As soon as his hand touched Li Xi's shoulder, the young man opened his eyes, as if he had been disturbed from sleep, he asked displeasedly: "What's wrong?"
"Can you hear the sound outside?" Duan Zhen asked him in a low voice.
Li Xi frowned: "Voice?"
He frowned and listened, and then his face changed: "Undead? How could that kind of thing appear here? Could it be that some undead mage tried to attack the city while his father was away?"
With that said, he lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed to check the situation.
"Wait a minute." Duan Zhen held him down: "I just discovered that these undead are afraid of light..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xi interrupted: "You mean, let me shrink in this small room and watch the people under Filot's territory be massacred?"
Duan Zhen was stared at by the young man, his eyes that always only had a sweet smile towards him now seemed to be condensed with ice, and seemed to contain jumping flames of anger.
"No, what I mean is, you can use this weakness to push them back." Duan Zhen continued what he hadn't finished speaking just now.
Li Xi's frowning brows relaxed slightly, but his tone was still cold: "I hope so, there will be no useless people around me."
He got out of bed, picked up the black robe at the head of the bed, covered his half-exposed chest and the soft pajamas, opened the door and walked out.
"Your Excellency Li...Lance!" Duan Zhen was stunned, and hurriedly followed: "Don't you need to prepare?"
"I'm ready." Li Xi replied, he glanced back at Duan Zhen: "If you don't want to be eaten by the undead, just follow."
Duan Zhen frowned, and finally followed Li Xi's footsteps.
They seemed to be traveling through the darkness, and the undead who were still gathering nearby were now gone. In the huge space, only Li Xi and Duan Zhen made sounds.
"Are you going to see Lord Hewlett?" Seeing Li Xi going upstairs, Duan Zhen asked.
"No." Li Xi said, he walked briskly around the spiral staircase: "I need to get to the roof."
"Is there an instrument that emits light on the roof?" Duan Zhen asked.
"You talk too much." Li Xi's tone became cold: "Keep quiet at the right time is the first thing for followers to learn."
"Yes, I'm very sorry." Duan Zhen lowered his head.
Hearing his apology, Li Xi's voice softened a bit: "After all, you came from a hunting ground, it's normal not to know the rules, and I'll let the housekeeper teach you tomorrow."
Duan Zhen answered yes, kept half a step behind, and looked up at Li Xi's back.
Although the young man had just woken up from the bed, his hair had been combed neatly at some point, and the black robe was obviously put on in a hurry, and there were no wrinkles. His back was straight, his steps were quick but not restless, and he moved freely in the dark.
Duan Zhen has a little understanding of Li Xi's temper now.
The person played by Li Xi is the son of a noble duke who is loved by his family, so he has a little arrogant temper. At the same time, he is well-educated, has a strong sense of responsibility, and still retains a softness in his heart.
It's just... Is this character's habit of sleeping with the light on, or is it a safe zone specially reserved by the game for taskers? It still needs to be investigated.
The two of them had good physical strength and quickly climbed to the top floor. Standing on the rooftop, Li Xi stared down at the city full of undead, tightly pursed his lips, a trace of anger flashed across his face.
Duan Zhen looked around quickly, and there was nothing on the rooftop.
Just as he was about to ask, he remembered Li Xi's words just now, so he kept silent for a while, watching Li Xi's actions.
Li Xi stood there for a while, stretched out a hand, and muttered some sentences he couldn't understand, a ray of light shot directly from that white palm to the sky, and spread rapidly, illuminating the city. It's like daylight.
Duan Zhen was stunned for a rare moment.
The undead wailed and dissipated under the dazzling light.
Li Xi withdrew his hand, turned around and was about to say something, his body swayed, and a violent dizziness came, he blinked with difficulty, only felt that the control over his body was gradually lost, and he fell back uncontrollably.
Duan Zhen, who had been paying attention to him, grabbed his hand immediately and pulled him into his arms before he fell off the roof.
The author has something to say: Li Xiaoxi will be fine, don't worry
This world is not exactly the same as Li Xi's memory, it was changed by the Hewlett Demon
