Chapter 1 - Manor Mist (1)
This is a room with a medieval decor.
Ye He sat on the edge of the bed with a serious look, and there was a loud mechanical sound in his ears:
[Yes, host, you did die in that car accident. 】
[Because I felt your strong will to survive, I was bound to you. 】
Hearing the system’s words, Ye He couldn’t help but let out a breath.
It should have been a happy thing to get a chance to be reborn after an accidental death, but the system that binds him claims to be the krypton gold system.
The krypton gold system, as the name suggests, has to keep krypton gold in order to survive, and every breath is filled with the breath of money.
According to the system, they charge reasonable, clearly marked prices, not according to the day, month, year, only according to the minute, 100 yuan per minute.
Of course, if there is no money, then life will come to an abrupt end.
Not long after opening his eyes, Ye He realized that he was in an unfamiliar room, and his clothes were not the T-shirt he wore when he was in the car accident, but a clean white shirt and black trousers.
At the same time, this mechanical sound that claimed to be the system also began to sound in his ears, which relieved Ye He’s anxiety when he first arrived in a strange place.
Ye He originally thought that the Krypton Gold System would be his savior, but he didn’t expect that the other party might be a living **** king.
The system didn’t realize what Ye He was thinking, and continued: [The host’s deposit is really thin, and the system deducted all the money from your meal card in exchange for 24 hours and 56 points. 】
[Okay, it’s 24 hours and 55 minutes now. 】
Ye He’s body froze, looked around, and said with grief: “I shouldn’t be here, I should be at the door of the bank.”
Life has entered the countdown, the system has brought him here, this is not a waste of his chance to survive!
[This system does not support the host to do things written in the criminal law. I believe in creating wealth with the hard-working hands of the host. 】The system said righteously.
Ye He glanced down at his hands: “…I have hands, but they are useless.”
[Don’t worry, host, this system will also provide a variety of legitimate part-time opportunities. Although it is a shuttle to different worlds, the rewards are rich and help you achieve freedom of life as soon as possible. 】
Hearing the system’s words, Ye He’s eyes suddenly lit up, feeling guilty for saying that the system was a living **** just now.
Of course, if the system hadn’t really brought him back from the dead, it would have been hard for Ye He not to suspect that it was a black intermediary with the familiar words of the other party.
The system over there continued: [Where you are now is the first work location screened for you by this system – Cesar Manor. 】
[Your position is the servant of the manor, as long as you work for one full week, you can get a basic salary of one million yuan. 】
Ye He: “How much?”
Ye He didn’t know that he heard correctly until the system repeated the reward again.
Ye He said with emotion: “I have only seen such a large number on other people’s bank cards.”
However, once this money is used to buy life, it will be much less.
He quickly thought of an important question, and couldn’t help but ask: “I only have 24 hours left in my life, how can I last a week?”
[In order to allow the host to live for a week, there will also be additional tasks dropped in the middle, and you can also get rewards for completing these additional tasks. 】
Ye He responded, he thought that in 24 hours, he would be working with an unyielding soul.
This task is far simpler than Ye He imagined, and it is actually as legitimate as the system says, but even if it is really difficult, he can only do it bravely in order to survive.
Moreover, the system also told Ye He that as long as he can complete this task, he will be recommended for tasks with higher salary in the future, and then he can return to the real world.
Ye He: “The previous thoughts were judged, and the current thoughts are hopeful.”
The system responded in agreement, praised Ye He’s ideological awareness, and then reminded of something and said: [By the way, during the execution of the mission, it is not allowed to disclose the content of the mission and the existence of the system. 】
It obviously wanted to say something, but before it had time to speak, there was a knock on the door, followed by a clear but irritable voice: “Come out, the housekeeper told us to gather.”
Because the knock on the door was too fast, it seemed that Ye He was in the room, so Ye He had to get up and open the door first.
Standing outside the door was a handsome young man who looked like he had just come of age, but he was much taller than Ye He. He had some baby fat on his face, but his hair was dyed silver, which made him look particularly conspicuous. He was wearing the same uniform as Ye He, with long slender eyebrows and round apricot eyes, he stood at the door impatiently with his arms folded.
Seeing the door opened, he was about to speak fiercely, but the moment he saw Ye He’s face, he breathed a suffocation, and even the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat in an instant: “You…”
He was just entrusted by the housekeeper to call someone, and he was full of resentment because he was assigned a trip, but the resentment in his heart completely disappeared the moment he saw Ye He in front of him.
Ye He’s appearance is feminine and delicate, with fair skin as if he had grown up in milk, his flesh and bones are well-proportioned, his crow-feather-colored hair is as long as his ears, just showing his shiny earlobes, and his beautiful black eyes are reflected The silver-haired youth stared blankly in front of him.
The silver-haired youth was looking down at Ye He, his eyes ranged from his soft hair to his rosy and full lips, his swan-like neck digging into his collar, and his delicate collarbone was faintly visible.
The young man before Ye He’s meeting was silent after the initial opening, and finally couldn’t help but speak first and broke the silence: “Didn’t you just say that the housekeeper was calling us?”
The silver-haired young man came back to his senses. He was a little annoyed at his lack of attention just now. He raised his hand and rubbed his hair. There was a bit of annoyance in his clear voice: “Yes, the housekeeper will arrange tasks for us.”
Ye He originally secretly regretted that he didn’t ask the system servants what the mission was. Now that he heard the silver-haired youth say that the housekeeper was going to arrange tasks for them, he was relieved and smiled at the silver-haired youth: “Let’s go.”
Seeing Ye He’s slightly raised lips, the silver-haired young man’s sight instantly shrank back as if he was burnt, and the roots of his ears gradually climbed to a thin layer of red.
Naturally aware of his hot face, he turned around subconsciously, and said in a gruff deliberately, “Follow up.”
Ye He heard the fierce voice of the silver-haired boy, but he didn’t feel offended. He only felt that the other party was like a fox and tiger’s mighty little milk dog, forced to bark fiercely.
The system heard Ye He’s thoughts by chance, and for a while it was unclear who was more dog.
Ye He and the silver-haired youth walked through the long corridor.
The corridor was a little dark, and the corridor was covered with a layer of blankets, stepping on it was soft and swallowing the sound of footsteps.
Out of the corner of Ye He’s light, he glanced at a row of oil lamps on the wall. The base was glowing with a layer of gold, like it was made of gold.
If it weren’t for the system saying that only things under his name can be converted into money, I’m afraid this oil lamp would not survive Ye He’s sight.
The system suddenly said: “Don’t look at it, it’s not yours to watch this thing a hundred times; but if you work part-time and do a hundred tasks, the money is mine, and the life is yours. 】
Ye He: “I feel that my shoulders suddenly become very heavy.”
The system is puzzled: [What’s wrong? Hasn’t this started working yet? 】
Ye He: “Because I feel the responsibility is on my shoulders.”
The silver-haired youth walking in front seemed to finally be unable to bear the loneliness and speak out, and took the initiative to speak to Ye He.
The silver-haired young man proudly exchanged names with Ye He. He called himself Xia Qing and came to this manor not long ago.
According to Xia Qing, the reason why they didn’t see anyone along the way was because several servants in the manor were called by the housekeeper to a meeting to arrange tasks.
Ye He heard something wrong: “Are those servants who were called to the meeting as new as us?”
He had some doubts before whether Xia Qing was someone with the same mission as him, or just an aborigines in this world, but because of what the system said before, he couldn’t ask Xia Qing directly.
Xia Qing’s voice was meaningful: “Most of them are newcomers. After all, the servants in the manor change quickly.”
Ye He suddenly realized: “It turned out to be like this.”
His eyes fell on the oil lamp on the wall again, and he couldn’t help feeling the gap between the rich and the poor: “The owner of this manor must be rich.”
Xia Qing: “The first owner of Cesar Manor was Duke Cesar. He came from a famous family. Because he was tired of fighting between royal families, he came to this town to build this manor.”
He walked in the front, Ye He couldn’t see his expression at this time, he could only hear the other party’s suddenly serious voice.
“He died at the age of thirty. He had no children in his life, and the whereabouts of his only lover were unknown, so the house was handed over to his nephew. However, I heard that since the death of the Duke, strange things have happened frequently, so almost no one lives there.”
Ye He keenly captured the words “frequent occurrences of strange things”, his body froze in an instant, and he swallowed silently: “What is the strange thing?”
Xia Qing suddenly stopped, and Ye He walked up to him in a few steps, side by side with him.
Under the dim light, his delicate face showed a calmness and seriousness that did not belong to his age: “Some of the people who have lived here are crazy, and some are dead.”
“According to a mad person, when he was sleeping at night, he heard the sound of chains dragging by the bed, and heard that—” Xia Qing suddenly turned his head and looked straight at Ye He: “That is death. The Duke is looking for his missing lover.”
Ye He had no time to think about why the Duke was holding the chain. After hearing Xia Qing’s words, his heartstrings instantly tightened, and his back was already sweating.
He subconsciously glanced at the window of the corridor. Although the sunset was already shining outside the window, Ye He was relieved by the warm light. At least it was not a short time until the evening.
Ye He’s reaction was taken into account by the system, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart, and he tentatively opened his mouth: “Are you afraid of ghosts? 】
Although Ye He didn’t know why the system suddenly asked these questions, he still said firmly in his heart: “I’m not too afraid, but I might fall asleep, and I might have to pinch someone to wake up.”
system:【……】
Simply put, isn’t this just fainting? !
Ye He paused and asked cautiously, “But why are you asking this? Could it be that there are ghosts in this villa?”
The system was suspiciously silent for a few seconds. It was already bound to Ye He, and it was considered a grasshopper on a rope. Therefore, it was impossible to find another host. Ye He, who knew the truth, might also affect the mission process.
After weighing it several times, the system spoke out of conscience: [No, didn’t you receive 20 years of materialistic education, why do you still believe in the existence of these things? ! 】
Ye He didn’t forget what Xia Qing had said, and repeated frighteningly: “But in just a hundred years, several people who lived there died, crazy crazy, and the sound of chains… .”
System: [Birth, old age, sickness and death are very normal things. Those mad people may be under a lot of mental stress, and the sound of the chains. Scientists have not explained similar phenomena. It may be the sound of water flowing through the aging water pipe. 】
Ye He: “But…”
System: [Believe in science. 】
[Or, are you afraid of ghosts? 】
The system’s words successfully blocked everything Ye He wanted to say.
Ye He laughed dryly: “How is that possible?”
He couldn’t let the system find out that he was afraid of ghosts, a shameful thing!
But after the system said this, Ye He was not so afraid. After all, he didn’t have to believe in the system, but he had to believe in science.
After Xia Qing’s voice fell, he didn’t wait for Ye He’s response for a long time, and finally couldn’t help turning his head to look at Ye He: “What’s wrong?”
He didn’t realize that his words at this time had softened a bit, with some strange tenderness.
Xia Qing paused, and then said awkwardly, “If you feel afraid, you can come into my arms…”
“I’m not afraid.” Ye He had come to his senses at this time, and immediately wanted to cover up: “We have to believe in science, how can there be ghosts? Even if there are, I’m not afraid of those things.”
The system sneered, pretending not to notice that Ye He’s volume suddenly dropped when he said the second half of his sentence.
Ye He paused for a while, and then slapped his head backwards: “Xia Qing, shouldn’t it be that you are afraid of ghosts?”
