Chapter 321: Escape From Huyue Manor

Chapter 313 Escape from the Moon Manor

When Aiwas woke up again, he felt an unprecedented weakness.

——It was not an illusion.

Aiwas quickly determined that this situation came from severe anemia. But he did not feel any wounds or pain on his body, but there was a light and intoxicated feeling.

It was like the euphoria and comfort when hugging a lover and breathing the fragrance of each other's hair.

He calmed his mind a little, then opened his eyes to check his situation.

He...or she, noticed that she was in a neat and small room at the moment.

She had neat sheets under her body and a soft and thick quilt. There were no decorations or entertainment items in the wooden room. In addition to the single bed, there was only a small desk.

On the desk was a pot of green plants, three or four books fixed with bookends, and a water cup.

But the first bad thing happened.

She noticed that there were no extra clothes in the room.

Her feet were bare, and she was only wearing a thin white nightgown... After leaving the quilt, she felt a distinct, shivering chill.

When she turned over and got up, Aiwass noticed that there was a heavy metal collar hanging around her neck.

Because there was no mirror in the room, she could not confirm her appearance and the specific appearance of the collar. She pulled a strand of her hair that was scattered behind her and put it in front of her to confirm that she should have black hair.

Soon, the host's ethereal and pleasant voice, as gentle as telling a bedtime story, came from her ears:

"You woke up from the afterglow of the sunset and felt that your body became weaker than yesterday.

"You just had a dream, dreaming of the beautiful past when you were the daughter of the Viscount.

"Under the joint efforts of the Alchemy Association and the Art Society, the demonologists of the Empire began to suffer unprecedented persecution. Murders occurred frequently and were almost impossible to handle. The struggle between the extraordinary people has been completely publicized. A large number of nobles have been forcibly deprived of their land and titles, and their property and wives and daughters have also been plundered by the extraordinary people.

"You were sold to the Son of the Moon by your father in exchange for the protection of your family. And now you are a blood slave raised by the 'Hu Yue Manor', numbered 14."

"With day after day of 'feeding', your body has become weaker and weaker. If you only support one master, you may still be able to survive. But if you continue to work in the manor, you will soon die here.

"So there are only two ways before you - find a way to escape from the 'Hu Yue Manor', or be bought from the manor by a master who loves you at a very high price. The latter is almost impossible.

"But if you rely on one person alone, you can't do anything. So the nine of you gathered together and planned to work together to escape from here.

"——However, considering that there are no shoes, no food, and no survival tools. It is unlikely to escape from the dense forest by crossing the mountains, and even if you return to the territory of the empire, you may be killed or captured by others.

"So among the nine of you, there is at least one informant with ulterior motives.

"If someone informs a certain Moon Child about the jailbreak and gains the other party's trust, the Moon Child may report it to the manor. If all the escapees are successfully captured, the manor will give one or two of you to the other party as a gift, which is another way to escape from the Arc Moon Manor.

"——And you are one of the informants. ”

[Required Tasks——]

[Before the sun rises again, be out of the Huyue Manor, in a safe position and without pursuers (points: none)]

[Additional Tasks——]

[Find companions: find all companions first (points: 500)]

[Keep hidden: do not let anyone discover your true identity until the end (points: 500)]

[Useless killing of informers: kill other companions (points: 200 per person)]

[False disguise of informers: successfully hide your identity as an informer from your companions (points: 500)]

[Successful plan: leave Huyue Manor through the secret passage (points: 1000)]

[Instinct of betrayal: destroy the jailbreak plan (points: 1000)]

[Charming breath: be successfully adopted by someone (points: 1000)]

[Master-killing talent: kill your master (points: 2000)]

As the task list pops up Come, Aiwas took a rough look.

The killing intent was slightly lighter than the last New Moon Ritual, but the malice was not eliminated.

It was just that killing became deception and betrayal...

However...

Aiwas took another careful look at the task and confirmed the task requirements again and again.

——Neither "prison break" nor "information" seemed to be clearly listed in the task list.

Even the task of "betrayal instinct" of the informer only required the destruction of the prison break plan. But there was no mandatory requirement to inform.

In other words, their behavior was not constrained. Prison break and inform were just "suggested tasks".

... This also means that even the informer can choose not to inform throughout the process. Because his victory condition has nothing to do with his identity.

Similarly, other people can choose to inform... This will also interfere with other people's tasks of finding informers.

As a symmetrical task of "false disguise of informer", there must be a task of "killing informer" on the other side. As an informer, Aiwas can also instigate others to inform... If he is caught and killed, then he can hide his identity.

However...

In this mission, everyone's gender is reversed.

And it has a special victory condition, that is, no one can discover their identity - not even their companions. This means that those who form a team, including myself and Lily, cannot confirm each other's identity.

——But not being able to confirm the identity does not mean that they cannot see it themselves.

In other words, they need a "knowing" confirmation method.

Do Aiwas and Lily have such a method?

Really.

When they entered, their costumes were reversed, but at that time, it seemed that except for the lady of the Way of Love, no one else noticed this.

In other words, others would think that Aleister was a lady. Then he should be a man now; similarly, if they think that Gray is a gentleman, then he will become a lady now.

Then Aiwass could completely swap identities with Lily——

Now, he is "Gray".

As long as he can see another man who looks like "Alai" in the crowd, then that person is Lily. In this way, they don't need to confirm their identities, and they can also be sure that the other party is their teammate.

... I hope she can react.

Aiwass thought.

She walked to the window and pushed it open with great effort——just such a simple thing made her breathless.

The window was permeated with the golden and red light of the sunset. Looking out of the window, you can see the lush green all over the mountains, which is refreshing.

But this made her heart sink.

Although she knew that she was in the deep mountains... But this is too deep, right?

She stretched out her hands and looked at her hands in the light.

But just doing this made her fingertips tremble uncontrollably. That was because of the weakness caused by anemia.

Judging from the slenderness of her fingers, she didn't look very old. She should be only about fifteen or sixteen years old. The skin is fair, there are no calluses on the hands, and no wounds on the arms.

The nails on her hands are almost bloodless, and have turned into a pale blue and lost their luster. There is no blood in the palms, the fingertips are visibly shriveled, and the palms are full of fine lines.

... With such a weak body, how can she escape?

And at this moment, her door was suddenly opened.

It was a man in black wearing a rabbit mask and dressed as a waiter.

He put his hands behind his back and said calmly:

"It's dinner time, No. 14. The guests have been waiting for a long time, come with me."

"... Yes."

The thin girl instantly entered the acting state, and nodded slightly with some shrinkage.

Last night, I had a fever of 37.6, and woke up after sleeping for six hours... Now the temperature has dropped to 36.8, but I still feel very weak. After taking azithromycin, I feel a little better, but not completely, but at least I don't need to go to the hospital.

There is still a second chapter. I will take a break after lunch and then write it... I guess it will be posted after 3 or 4 o'clock...

Brother Meng, if you want to fatten it up, remember to set up automatic subscription, don't kill the cat (tearful eyes)
