When Aiwass woke up again, he felt weak as never before.
——It’s not an illusion.
Aiwass quickly determined that this condition was caused by severe anemia. However, he did not feel wounds or pain on his body, but he felt a light and intoxicating feeling.
It's like the euphoria and comfort you get when you hug your lover and breathe in the fragrance of the other person's hair.
After he calmed down a little, he opened his eyes and prepared to check his situation.
He...or rather she, noticed that she was in a neat and small room at the moment.
She was covered with neat sheets and a soft and thick quilt. There were no decorations or entertainment supplies in the wooden room. Apart from the single bed, there was only a small desk.
There is a pot of green plants on the desk, three or four books fixed with bookends, and a water glass.
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 an obvious, chilling chill.
When he rolled over and got up, Aiwass noticed the heavy metal collar hanging around his neck.
Because there was no mirror in the room, she could not confirm her appearance and the specific appearance of the necklace. She picked up 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 sweet voice, as soft as telling a bedtime story, came softly from her ears:
"You wake up from the afterglow of the sunset and feel that your body is weaker than yesterday.
"You just had a dream about the beautiful past when you were the daughter of a viscount.
"Under the joint attack of the Alchemy Association and the Art Society, the demonologists in the empire began to suffer unprecedented persecution. The incidence of murders was so high that it was almost impossible to handle. The struggle between extraordinary people has been fully open, and a large number of nobles have been forcibly taken away from their lands.
His title, property, wives and daughters were also plundered by extraordinary beings.
"You were sold to the Son of the Moon by your father in exchange for protecting your family. And now you are a blood slave raised by the 'Arc Moon Manor', numbered No. 14."
"Under the 'feeding' day after day, your body becomes 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 'Argyue Manor', or be bought from the manor by a master who loves you at an extremely high price. And the latter is almost impossible.
"But you can't do anything by yourself. 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 over the mountains and ridges, and even if you return to the territory of the empire, you may be killed or captured by others.
Walk.
"So among the nine of you, there is at least one informer with ulterior motives.
"If someone reports the escape to a certain Moon Child and gains his 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 reward.
Gift, this is also another way to escape from Huyue Manor.
"—and you are one of the informers."
[Necessary tasks——]
[Before the sun rises again, not in Arc Moon Manor, in a safe position with no pursuers (Points: None)]
[Extra tasks——]
[Finding companions: Find all companions first (points: 500)]
[Stay hidden: No one will discover your true identity until the end (Points: 500)]
[Informer’s useless killing: kill other companions (points: 200 per person)]
[Informer’s false disguise: Successfully hide his identity as an informer from his companions (Points: 500)]
[Successful plan: Leave Arc Moon Manor through the secret passage (Points: 1000)]
[The Instinct of Betrayal: Destroy the Prison Break Plan (Points: 1000)]
[Lord-killing talent: Kill your master (points: 2000)]
As the task list popped up, Aiwass took a quick look.
The murderous intention was slightly lighter than the last new moon ceremony, but the malice did not disappear because of this.
It's just that murder turned into deception and betrayal...
but……
Aiwass took a closer look at the mission and confirmed the mission requirements again and again.
——Whether it is "jailbreak" or "whistleblowing", it seems that they do not appear clearly in the task list.
Even the task of the informer's "instinct to betray" only requires that the prison escape plan be destroyed. However, it is not mandatory to inform.
In other words, their behavior is not forcibly restricted. Jailbreaking and informing are just "suggested tasks".
...This also means that even the informant can choose not to inform the whole process. Because his victory condition has nothing to do with his identity.
And similarly, other people can also choose to whistle-blow... This will also cause other people's task of finding the whistle-blower to be interfered with.
As a symmetrical task of "false disguise of the informer", there must be the task of "kill the informer" on the other side. As an informer, Aiwass can also instigate others to inform...if he is caught and killed,
Then you can hide your identity.
but……
In this mission, everyone's gender is reversed.
And it has a special victory condition, which is that its identity cannot be discovered by anyone - not even its companions. This means that those who form a team, including myself and Lily, cannot confirm each other's identities.
——But just because you can’t confirm your identity doesn’t mean you can’t figure it out for yourself.
In other words, they need a "knowledgeable" confirmation method.
Do Aiwass and Lily have such means?
There really is.
Their attires were reversed when they entered the venue, but no one else seemed to notice it at that time except for the lady from Path of Love.
In other words, if other people think that Aleister is a lady, then he should now be a male; similarly, if they think that Ash is a gentleman, then he will now be a lady.
Then Aiwass can completely exchange identities with Lily——
Now he is "gray".
As long as he can see another man who looks like "Alai" from the crowd, then that person is Lily. In this way, they don't need to confirm their identity and can be sure that the other person is their teammate.
...I hope she can react.
Aiwass thought to himself.
She walked to the window and pushed it open with great effort - just such a simple thing made her breathless.
The golden red brilliance of the sunset permeates the window. What you can see outside the window is the lush green mountains and plains, which is refreshing and refreshing.
But this made her heart sink.
Although I know I am deep in the mountains...but is it too deep?
She stretched out her hands and looked at her hands in the light.
But just doing this made the fingertips of her hands tremble uncontrollably. This was due to weakness caused by anemia.
Judging from the slenderness of her fingers, she seems to be young. She should be only about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her skin is fair, there are no calluses on her hands, and there are no wounds on her arms.
The nails on her hands were almost bloodless and had turned a bluish-white color, and had lost their luster. There was no blood on the palms of her hands, the fingertips were visibly shriveled, and the palms were covered with fine lines.
...How can we escape with such a weak body?
But 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, the 14th. The guests have been waiting for a long time. Come with me."
"……yes."
The thin girl instantly entered into a state of acting, and nodded slightly with some shyness.
My fever reached 37.6 last night, and I woke up after six hours of sleep... Now the temperature has dropped to 36.8, but I still feel very weak. I took azithromycin and I feel a little better, but not completely comfortable yet, but at least I shouldn't need to go to the hospital.
.
There is still a second chapter. I will take a lunch break and then write it again... I think it will be posted after three or four o'clock...
