CH 5

Due to the death of the horses outside the mansion, the players realized that after they stepped into the mansion, there was no possibility of leaving without permission. All they could do was find the way to clear this instance wholeheartedly.

If they hadn’t left the carriage in time and entered the mansion, perhaps, by now, they would have turned into minced meat that melted and disappeared in the pool of blood.

Not even a corner of their clothes would have been left.

Silence, also permeated the live broadcast room, and it took a long time for someone to speak.

[Is the brother who said you could do it before still there? Come out here. Your remaining flesh and blood would be enough to fill a bucket.]

[True, running away with a bucket.]

[This instance has only just begun, and it is so dangerous… I know now why everyone is afraid of [Dear Home].]

[There is no return, there is no way to escape – I will give you a forever home, a boxy wooden coffin.]

The atmosphere among the players were extremely heavy, and they all watched Chi Yiyin enter the mansion in silence.

The moment the handmade sheepskin carved leather shoes stepped over the threshold, the gate of the mansion made a creaking sound and closed tightly.

Chi Yiyin stood on the steps behind the gate, looking down at the players from above.

He was the last person to wake up on the train, and now the last person to step into the instance.

But now, not one of them dared to despise Chi Yiyin and treat him as a dispensable newcomer.

An old player smiled at Chi Yiyin and nodded to show his friendliness.

“It was urgent before, and I had no time to introduce myself. Hello, I’m called Ah Si.”

Ah Si was a young man with a bald head. His appearance was not bad, but he had a dead-like air around him, which made him look like an old man who is dying.

“What’s your name? Let’s get to know each other. After all, we are all in the same instance. We can take care of each other and discuss cooperation when we have the opportunity. Before I entered the game field, I was a programmer who suddenly died while working overtime in the middle of the night. If you need help in this regard, you can come to me at any time.”

Ah Si, who had always regarded Chi Yiyin and other newcomers as nothing before, now smiled and extended his hand to Chi Yiyin.

Even if Chi Yiyin didn’t give him a timely response, he still waited patiently.

There is no false love and hate in the game field, only value.

Players are desperately trying to survive and want to become real survivors. Nobody wanted to waste their time on people with no value.

The reality is almost brutal.

But now for the players, Chi Yiyin is a valuable person.

Therefore, all their previous ignorance was canceled, and they could speak nonsense with eyes wide opened, just to re-establish a good relationship with Chi Yiyin.

Even if Chi Yiyin didn’t respond, Tong Yao who was next to him didn’t want to.

She stared at the players who were showing friendly smiles to Chi Yiyin, and snorted through her nose: “Before, I suggested that everyone help each other, but you all refused. Have all of you discovered the value of Chi Yiyin now?”

Ah Si didn’t feel embarrassed at all, but just explained with a smile: “At that time, I didn’t reject Miss Tong Yao, I was just thinking it through. Now that everyone is safe for the time being, shouldn’t I come right away?”

Tong Yao was pushed back, a little unhappy, but it was not easy to refute Ah Si. She stood aside angrily with a sulk.

At this time, Chi Yiyin stretched out his hand, shook the air, and said with regret in his eyes: “Chi Yiyin.”

“I’m sorry. I’m a person with a strong sense of cleanliness.”

Ah Si smiled brighter, repeatedly expressing that it’s okay and understandable.

It’s completely normal for a capable person to have a little quirk. What’s more, it’s just about cleanliness.

With Ah Si’s head start, other people also stepped forward one after another. While expressing friendship to Chi Yiyin, they also tried to insinuate and find out the details about Chi Yiyin.

But Chi Yiyin walked back calmly, and did not let his information be leaked. Instead, he found out about many players.

For example, the bearded man who was the first to talk to him on the train before, called Li Li, and his companion specially selected this instance. The reason was not because of the generous points mentioned by Tong Yao, but to clear the instance and get the special effect props from this instance’s boss.

——Li Li didn’t actually say that, after all, he is an experienced old player, and would not reveal his affairs at will.

Unfortunately, standing opposite him was Chi Yiyin.

As long as you are human, you must have missing details, and if you have emotions, you must have shortcomings.

And it just so happens that what Chi Yiyin likes most and is good at is reading people.

Past, experience, character, cause, emotion, behavioral pattern…

As long as someone stood in front of him and talked to him, in a few words, he can always see part of the truth.

The smile on Chi Yiyin’s lips became more and more intense, and finally there was a little sincerity in it. He smiled and watched the other players test him, but was tested by him without knowing it.

“Everyone should also know that [Dear Home] is a very special instance. There has been no complete recording and broadcasting material for sale in the live broadcast hall. No one knows what will happen afterwards.”

After talking about it, Ah Si who was conducting himself as a good person actively provided some information to draw in relationship with Chi Yiyin: “Since we are all elder sister, there is a high probability that we will encounter similar situations. In order to pass the customs smoothly, we can at least share some information with each other before the final.”

Ah Si smiled and said, “There is no other meaning. I just want to increase our chances of survival, and don’t want to see unnecessary discord between us. If we do, those NPCs in the instance will take advantage of it.”

Many people listened to these remarks, and the atmosphere among the players began to ease.

However, the young person and female student who are newcomers were still excluded by the players.

Even though Tong Yao was angry, there was nothing she could do.

She subconsciously looked at Chi Yiyin, wanting to seek his advice.

Tong Yao didn’t realize that she had instinctively made decisions centered on Chi Yiyin, and there was a faint tendency to regard Chi Yiyin as the decision maker.

But Chi Yiyin didn’t seem to understand Tong Yao’s meaning, nodded to her and said: “Then I’ll find a place to rest first, you can do whatever you want.”

“Ah… okay.”

Although Tong Yao was a little disappointed, she quickly adjusted her mood and said that she would look at the situation in the mansion again.

When Chi Yiyin turned around, he even saw that some players had temporarily formed an alliance, exchanging contact information and information, whispering about something.

But at this time, instead of rushing to collect information, he walked towards the servant standing in the corner of the yard.

“The housekeeper left in a hurry, did he not leave anyone to show me the way?”

Chi Yiyin smiled and asked the expressionless servant, “Where is my room?”

The servant looked at him fixedly, and after a long while, he walked towards the back with his legs numbly.

Chi Yiyin also followed.

From the moment the train entered the station, Chi Yiyin realized that the time here was stuck more than a century ago. Gushu Town, as a remote town, still retained a lot of old habits.

Although judging from the background of “elder sister” that he had learned so far. She was sent to school by her parents to receive a new type of education, but this time her parents called her back, and it did not seem like a good thing.

The proof was the heavy lock on the carriage.

A newly returned family member. Who would lock up their own daughter on the road?

This was obviously because they were afraid that this daughter would escape midway.

Regardless of the attitude of the housekeeper or the lack of respect and love of the three younger siblings for her elder sister, Chi Yiyin felt the embarrassment of this elder sister’s status in this family.

If he thought about it, he knew that if he asked the housekeeper directly, the other party would not tell him at all.

So for Chi Yiyin, the best place to find out the identity of “elder sister” is her room.

Name, age, life experience.

The system did not provide any of this basic information.

Thinking of this, Chi Yiyin raised his hand and touched the pocket containing the red letter.

…Also, he also needs to double-check the hints on the red letter to make sure he didn’t miss any hints from the system.

The “lively and lovely” younger siblings did not make Chi Yiyin angry, but instead reminded him to pay more attention to the dark pit under his feet.

——If the system knew that the trap it set within the text was not only seen through by Chi Yiyin at a glance, but also helped Chi Yiyin, it didn’t know if it would be pissed off.

But Chi Yiyin knew that the system would definitely maintain its superficial skills, and no matter how unhappy it would be, it would say, “Congratulations” to him with a mechanical voice.

Chi Yiyin nodded with a smile.

If those who hoped he died were unhappy, then he would be happy.

When following the servant to the room, Chi Yiyin also clearly saw the layout of the mansion.

Although he didn’t know the specific background of the Ma family, but judging from the size of the mansion and the degree of luxury, the housekeeper’s arrogance was also justified.

It seemed that all the valuable things in the whole town had been hoarded here and piled on the garden’s landscape. Every step was a scene with rare flowers competing for beauty, which sets off against the original black and white background of the Hui style mansion.

Chi Yiyin even saw a western clock that was very expensive and rare for the current era. It was placed in the main hall, and the pendulum studded with gems was swinging regularly with brilliance.

At least there was one thing the system didn’t lie to him.

——”Elder sister” is indeed very rich.

In the premise that she could actually inherit this wealth.

Tong Yao wanted to check the situation of the mansion by herself, thinking that only in this way would she be able to see the truth of the mansion. If the servant introduced it to her, they would conceal some stuff.

However, Chi Yiyin graciously let the servant lead the way, and wrote down the layout of the mansion with his excellent memory. The three-dimensional composition of the whole mansion quickly took shape in his mind, without missing a single detail.

With this, even if he wanted to explore the mansion in the middle of the night, it would be much more convenient.

Chi Yiyin was very satisfied with this.

The servant stopped under a small two-story building in the back courtyard, like a robot on standby after completing a task.

Chi Yiyin glanced up at the place where the servant was standing, and found that compared to other buildings in the house, this Hui-style two-story building looked extraordinarily large and had lost its refinement. It was unlike the style of the prominent Ma family would do.

And Chi Yiyin counted carefully, there are nine doors in front of the building.

It just so happened to be the number of players who successfully got off the train.

It looks like that all the “elder sister” will live here.

Chi Yiyin raised his eyebrows, feeling that this “elder sister” might be a bit pitiful, not only was it played by a pink turkey, but also had to live in a dormitory.

“Where are the master and madam now?”

Chi Yiyin stopped the servant who turned around and was about to leave, and asked, “I will go to my parents after a short rest. What are they doing now?”

The servant glanced at Chi Yiyin without saying a word and continued to leave.

Is the matter about the master and madam beyond the scope of the servant’s answer?

Chi Yiyin pondered for a moment, then walked towards the door, where the servant stopped just now.

After pushing the door open, the room full of exquisite and elegant mahogany furniture greets the eyes.

And, there was still a little dust smell in the air.

It seemed that someone had just come to clean it, and the floating dust hadn’t landed yet.

Chi Yiyin blinked and laughed.

So the housekeeper really asked someone to clean up for him temporarily? No wonder the servant would lead the way for him, it seemed that the housekeeper had specially ordered it, and held his temper to satisfy him.

Chi Yiyin was about to enter “elder sister’s” boudoir when suddenly his back felt cold.

The next second, the legs of his trouser were pulled.

Chi Yiyin paused, and lowered his head to look at his feet.

The one who grabbed his trouser legs turned out to be the younger brother who he had just met outside the gate. The younger one.

The little boy held an expensive toy in one hand, and pulled Chi Yiyin with the other, looking up at him eagerly.

Those big, watery eyes full of longing and ingratiating look absolutely adorable.

“Sister, would you like to play with me?”

The little boy’s voice was soft and cute, it was hard to refuse.

But Chi Yiyin didn’t even change the curvature of his polite smile.

He was more concerned about another thing – how did this child approach him without a sound?
