Chapter 2: The Haunted Castle and Werewolf
Werewolf: the Circle Outside the Circle:
"In the end, the surgery can be considered a success," The main doctor in front had a very complicated expression, "At that time on the table, your situation..."
Chi Yu nodded his head, "I know, you guys worked hard."
From the main doctor's perspective, Chi Yu's head was honestly wrapped with bandages, he knitted his eyebrows, "Are you sure you want to leave? The hospital indicates that at least... even if there are special circumstances, we cannot let you leave."
Chi Yu's fingers were pressed on his wrist. He looked to be still completely harmless. Even if he had already used two hourglasses, and the sands in the third hourglass were finely flowing, however, he did not urge on impatiently. He had no way of explaining his situation, and thus only gently and stubbornly said, "That's alright, I will take responsibility for myself. Let me sign the letter of consent for voluntary leave."
Chi Yu used a bit of strength to then come out from the hospital. He was not in a hurry to go to his destination, but first bought a hat to wear, and meticulously covered that layer of thin bandages on his head—— Right now, he no longer needed to over-cautiously treat this head of his, after all, he had already died once.
Seeing the slightly pale youth in the mirror, Chi Yu suddenly revealed a bright smile. In this instant, the person in the mirror was suddenly input with life. He very paid promptly, and quickly got a car, then immediately rushed to the meeting place he set up to see the other person.
He originally should be confessing at this time- yes, after the surgery, he would confess to the other person, but that aneurysm in the brain still ruptured. When he had a lot of blood coming out, Chi Yu hazily heard many bumbling noises. The fast bleeding made him feel ice-cold, however, much more was a kind of regret for failing to show up.
—— Even though everyone clearly felt that it should not erupt this quick...
He felt the flow of life, heard there was someone calling to stop the bleeding, also someone calling for to suck up the blood, and sounds of hurried entering and going, along with the panicked calls of blood not being enough... but all of this was futile. The darkness of death pulled at his four limbs, making him sink within it.
But Chi Yu still wanted to live.
"We're here, remember to give me a good review, love."
The driver's words made Chi Yu wake up from his recollection, He smiled at the driver, pushed open the car door, and walked into the bookstore in front- this was the place he arranged to see Gu Wen Qiao.
Actually in the beginning, it was a coincidence, occasionally discovering that the other person would read books at the bookstore in the afternoon of a Saturday just like him. At that time, Chi Yu did not think too much of it. He only felt that the young man in front had a peculiar eye colour, and so could not help but look a few times more, however slowly, after many times, the two began getting familiar with each other. Chi Yu was deeply drawn in by Gu Wen Qiao, no matter if it was the other person's handsome outer appearance and his jadeite-like eyes, or his gentleman-like style of conversing and scarily erudite knowledge, and even that accidental kindness he'd express towards him, all made Chi Yu fall into enemy hands.
Chi Yu's steps slowed down.
He still had seven hours.
"You are always here so early." As Chi Yu spoke, he pulled a chair out, and lightly sat down, "No matter if I'm here on time, or here a few minutes earlier, I always can see you're here first."
The young man across from him slightly lifted his hand. The inky green eyes carried an icy politeness, but this ruthless and abstruse iciness actually softened a bit when facing Chi Yu. Seeing how Chi Yu took the drink he pushed, he then silently retracted his hand.
But the air in his surroundings seem to turn slightly lighter.
Chi Yu started chatting with him. Originally, he who planned on confessing today had no way of saying out the words he prepared before at all. Whether or not he could see the other person later was a problem, but he really had no way of finding a newer topic for the time being, so the things he spoke of could not help but circle around Gu Wen Qiao. As they spoke and spoke, Chi Yu turned even more excited, "What kind of dreams did you have lately?"
Gu Wen Qiao would always dream of many strange and bizarre dreams. According to him, in the dreams, he would feel like he was drifting in a warm and vast place, deeply sleeping, but some strange dreams would appear in his brain like a strike of lightning, then go away quickly again.
To say it in other words, Gu Wen Qiao was just like a central computer. The him in his dreams would also dream, and drift through different worlds, or perhaps, would see many different dreams on display.
Chi Yu always liked him talking about his own dreams.
That perfect, sculpture-like lips of Gu Wen Qiao's moved, and hesitantly opened his mouth to speak.
"I dreamt that I raised a pet... a very smart one... and also very pretty..."
After he said that, he did not continue after a long time, but knitted his eyebrows with a very awkward look. This made Chi Yu uncontrollably open his mouth, "It must be very pretty! And then, what happened?"
"I wanted to keep it, and so I made a cage later on, but it ran away... that cage, if I locked it inside, I could then always keep it."
Chi Yu clicked his tongue. Who knew Gu Wen Qiao had a bit of a possessiveness to him, and even for a pet in a dream... with the way he spoke about it, the possibility of it being a bird was a bit bigger... no matter how he looked, he did not feel Gu Wen Qiao would be that kind of person who locked up whatever he liked.
Chi Yu persuaded, "It might be that the bird wanted freedom more? If you were to lock it up, it might come to hate the person who confined it, right?"
Gu Wen Qiao did not answer this question directly, and even looked to be a bit upset. They soon skipped over this topic, and after chatting for a while, Chi Yu went back home.
He looked at the timer, laid on the bed, closed his eyes, and prepared to return to the Creator Space.
The system would freeze his body for him, while the things in the room would all be taken care of, and not emerge with a situation of food rotting and smelling, drawing in other people's suspicions.
Before entering the space, Chi Yu silently set a goal for himself—— this time, he will think of a way to walk a ghost! Go go Chi Yu! You can earn even more points!
After the bottom of his feet spread with a feeling of stepping on solid ground, Chi Yu opened his eyes, and saw a big group of people in front.
A total of twelve people with indistinguishable faces gathered in a transparent polyhedron, the optical disk in the very middle lit up, and displayed a timer and the name of this game—— 「Castle Werewolf」
「Special Note: This game has three repechage players, adding other hidden settings」
「Clear Requirements:1. Your team wins
2. Survive
3. The original self survives」
「Special quest: Solve the hidden setting」
—— What is Werewolf...
But obviously, before he got an explanation, the countdown had already finished, and when Chi Yu's eyes were able to see things once again, he saw a luxurious banquet hall of a castle, as well as a long rectangular table for twelve seats.
The head of it sat with a spirit-like figure.
"Welcome to all travelling guests who have come here. The castle has provided a very interesting Werewolf for everyone. In the night, everyone may freely move, but of course, players who have drawn the civilian card are still advised to lock their doors tight. For fairness' sake, if one room has two people inside it at the same time, the person with a lower status will immediately be eliminated—— this is to avoid guests from uniting together, making the werewolves unable to act, we ask that the guests do understand."
"The castle only acts as the referee to watch the guests play, and at the same, will satisfy all the guest's ordinary requests, such as changing out the bedsheets, covers, or provide food..."
"This game naturally will not have any casualties, but the eliminated guests will be taken to the third floor, and after the game ends, they can go downstairs to play."
"Now then, please pull a card."
Chi Yu did not immediately move.
A red-lipped girl with big curly hair first took a status card. She smiled and looked towards a very slender man beside Chi Yu, "Rock, hurry and get a card."
Chi Yu felt a very different atmosphere between these two.
Suddenly, there was short-haired girl behind lightly sighing.
"To think there would be a couple, hope they're on the same team."
Chi Yu pretended not to hear, was the last to go up, and after he took a status card, he looked at it away from everyone.
On the card, a girl holding a candle in their hand was looking right at Chi Yu.
Chi Yu: ...
What kind of card is this...
