Angel is not a player, she is just an ordinary person who has taken the evolution agent. Her physical fitness is close to that of an evolver. It is actually of little use. Judging from the fact that she can still fall when walking against her, she has never done any physical training.
Angel was out of breath while running, but the maze had no end. In the end, her running speed gradually slowed down, and she finally fell down on the steps.
The night rain was cold, but not as cold as her heart. Before she could even take a breath when she lay flat, there were footsteps again behind her.
The "click-click-click" sound of shoes hitting the steps was more terrifying than the note of death. Angel had to grit her teeth and get up and keep running. But no matter how she ran, the sound followed her like a shadow, and she always followed behind slowly.
I can't even see who it is when I look back...
Of course, she didn't dare to look back and see what was following her. After running around for a while, she was surprised to find that the stairs under her feet were getting deeper and deeper, making it more difficult to run higher and lower.
But I still can’t see the end of it!
She tried drilling randomly and climbing over the flower wall, but the maze seemed to have multiplied infinitely. She couldn't find the direction no matter what. Looking out from above, the surroundings were pitch black. She couldn't even tell which direction the castle was.
!
"Click! Click! Click!"
The footsteps came again, and Angel couldn't bear it. She shouted for help, "Mr. Xu! Butler Winter! I'm lost in the maze!"
Under the heavy fog, there was no response, only the footsteps speeding up behind him.
Angel's heart was beating like a drum, she screamed and ran forward with her face in her arms. After stumbling for a few minutes, a bright light appeared at the end of the aisle in front of her!
"Help!" She hurriedly ran over, and then she saw a pale-faced woman in white standing in the rain, holding the lamp she had dropped!
"Ah!!!" The high-pitched wail spread throughout the castle, and Xu Huo frowned and patted the bedside.
Angel, who had been frightened for half her life, got rid of the "female ghost" behind her, and rushed back to the castle in a panic. When she saw the dark building in front of her, she almost lay on the ground in despair, closed her eyes, and gave up completely.
Resisted.
"Click, click", along with the sound of footsteps, a little light gradually shone on her face. Angel gritted her teeth and then heard Mr. Dong say: "Miss Angel, what are you doing lying here?"
Angel opened her eyes suddenly, saw the person standing in front of her and immediately sat up, subconsciously saying: "Yes..."
But before she finished speaking, she found that the castle in front of her became normal again. The night lights were all on. Although it was not enough to illuminate every corner, she could see no problem and the paintings were hung on the wall properly.
Things crawled out from inside, and the previous eerie atmosphere was swept away.
Meeting Mr. Dong's eyes, she swallowed her words and changed her words: "I was a little thirsty and wanted to find some water to drink, but I didn't expect to get lost when I came out."
Mr. Dong did not expose her lame dazzle, "You are soaked all over. Please go back to your room first and I will prepare new clothes for you."
Angel's clothes were not only wet, but her hands, feet, and face were all covered with small scratches. Her knees and calves were also red and swollen in many places, as if she had been severely beaten.
She declined Mr. Dong's offer of help and went upstairs holding on to the railing, feeling a little annoyed at the same time.
After the fear faded and her rationality returned, she still couldn't see that she was a fool because she was tricked by the people in the castle!
I reached the second floor with a lot of anger, and saw the painting girl standing in front. Her figure was cast diagonally behind, and there seemed to be a face struggling to come out in the black shadow. At this time, the corridor suddenly became dark again.
, Angel turned back to look for Mr. Dong, only to find that the person standing behind was a man with a ferocious face, not like a living person. The other person said to her with a bloody mouth: "Why don't you leave? Are you dazzled? The ancient ancient
That's how it is in Fort, sometimes you will see something strange, it's just your eyesight."
Angel no longer had the energy to confirm whether she was dazzled. She rolled her eyes and fell straight to the ground.
Xu Huo took off the pumpkin hood and motioned to Mr. Dong to throw her back into the room, "You are quite brave to come here and steal things."
Mr. Dong came out from behind, "There have been people wandering outside the castle these past few days. It must be someone who heard that the castle has a new owner and wants to make a profit."
"Are there many such things?" Xu Huo asked.
"Places like castles are often visited by thieves." Mr. Dong said, "But no noble woman would visit in this way."
Xu Huo nodded. Angel's family was in a difficult situation and the ordinary income could not support the high expenses. It was not surprising that he, a newcomer who had just entered the upper class, was targeted.
"Let's see if she still wants to be my dance partner after she wakes up. If she doesn't want to, send her back." He didn't intend to embarrass Angel, after all, the other party verified for him that the pumpkin headband was indeed scary.
Angel did not give up being his dance partner, covered the wounds on her face with makeup, and shared breakfast with him with a tired look.
Xu Huo could tell that she was a little scared. She couldn't help but look around when walking or sitting, so he said: "If you feel uncomfortable, I will have someone take you back. You don't have to worry about other problems. I will prepare a generous gift."
Angel looked at the man who was dining elegantly opposite, with a complicated expression for a moment, "I can't go back now. You must also know my family situation. If I don't take this opportunity to find a suitable marriage partner, I will become a complete idiot soon."
Common people will always be reduced to the bottom of society."
"I heard that you are a player?" she asked tentatively, her expression solemn, completely gone from yesterday's pretense.
Xu Huo didn't bother to look at her, but just nodded.
Angel took a deep breath, "I didn't understand the rules last night and disturbed your rest. Please don't send me back. I can apologize to you. You can put forward any conditions, as long as I can do it."
"No need." Xu Huo said calmly: "I won't force you to leave. You can go back with your family after the banquet tonight."
An Qier was heartbroken. When she saw Xu Huo was about to leave, she quickly stood up and watched him go upstairs before sitting down a little dejectedly.
At this time, the painting girl suddenly stuck her head out from the side and stared at her with blinking eyes.
The distance between the two was too close, and Angel subconsciously leaned back. Just as he braced himself to greet her, the painting girl had already sat down at the table, and Mr. Dong brought breakfast and a menu.
"Most of the dishes at today's banquet are not to my liking. This is a menu specially prepared for you. Sir, you can dine in your room."
The painting girl sketched on the menu while eating breakfast. After finishing, she turned on the communication device to shop. In addition to dresses, there were also various styles of casual clothes without blinking an eye.
"Do you want it?" The painting girl took a moment to ask Angel.
Before Angel could refuse, the painting girl typed again with a smile: "Not for you!"
