Chapter 416 Elizabeth's Side QuestIt was not until the feeling on his face emerged clearly that Ranran recognized what the black block was.
A hand, a man's hand, should be wearing a black glove.
The hand gently wiped away the tears on her face, the movement was extremely gentle, and soon the hand left. When the breeze blew on her face again, Ranran no longer felt the chill on her cheeks.
Ranran did not detect any hostility from the brief contact with the owner of the hand.
At least for now.
Ran Ran had no way of understanding the situation. She could only look up, as if trying to find the face of the owner of the black hand in her blurry vision.
She opened her lifeless eyes and slowly searched the air.
The owner of the hand looked at it quietly for a while before speaking softly, "I forgot, you can't hear me."
The air was silent for a moment, and the roses on the bushes blossomed beautifully.
"But it is precisely because you can't hear that I am willing to talk to you." The hand wearing the black glove left Ranran's sight, "Elizabeth."
Ran Ran was silent for a while before she spoke tentatively, "Did you leave?"
The man did not leave, but he also did not make any move to prove to Ranran that he was still there, not even just waving his hand in front of Ranran's eyes.
He just stood aside, quietly looking at Ranran sitting on the chair.
Having lost his hearing and sense of smell, and his vision was almost gone, Ranran was unable to obtain any information.
She had no idea how to play this role. All she had was her incredibly abundant vigilance.
【Play the role carefully】
There is a better way than to achieve this rule perfectly, that is...
Completely become this character.
As long as she becomes Elizabeth completely, her every word and action at every moment will be a perfect performance of the role.
Ran Ran thought about this and couldn't help wondering who was in charge of this judgment? The owner of the castle? Or the horror cave?
Two warning sounds suddenly rang in his mind. Ranran exerted extreme restraint and did not react to the two sudden sounds.
She had no way of being sure whether the owner of the black hand had left, and she couldn't reveal her flaws in front of anyone.
[The character Mellis is now online]
[Character Arnold is now online]
Is it a reminder given by the game after other players in the Terror Cave wake up and accept their identities?
So when she wakes up, will other players also receive a similar message - [Character Elizabeth is online]?
Ranran sat there for a while, with grievance gradually creeping up to the corners of her mouth. She didn't make a sound, and didn't even move her fingers, but her dim eyes were gradually filled with loss.
The man standing next to him had a dark look in his eyes. He observed for a while before snapping his fingers.
In an instant, an old servant with a hunched back appeared behind the man like a shadow.
"At your service, my Lord."
The old servant's voice was hoarse like an ominous crow, and his mocking voice was unpleasant to the ear.
The tall man pinched his fingertips, looking at Ranran's aggrieved expression, he felt his fingers itchy for no reason.
"How long has Elizabeth been like this?"
The old servant bowed his head humbly. "Miss Elizabeth always cries when she is alone. Her tears have never stopped since she came to the castle."
The man laughed with an ambiguous tone, "I'm not crying. Come and see how she looks now. It's so interesting."
"If I remember correctly, she's never been like this before."
The old servant tried to straighten his bent body after hearing the order. He quickly glanced at Ran Ran and lowered his head, a flash of blood-red passed by. "It is indeed the first time. This is the first time I have seen such an expression on the face of the beautiful Miss Elizabeth."
He only glanced at Ranran very quickly, shorter than a dragonfly skimming over the water.
His discomfort with looking people in the eye was only one of the reasons. Another reason was that he knew very well that... his master was extremely possessive of the things he was interested in.
Even if the owner takes the initiative to say something like sharing, he must never assume that the owner is really willing to share with him.
It was just that the old servant was a little surprised. It had been a long time since Miss Elizabeth came to the castle, and the master had never shown any interest in this poor lady, but now...
Did something change without his knowledge?
Come to think of it, Xiaoduo, who was in charge of cleaning the castle, was so careless that he knocked over the dirty basin. He was not such a careless person before.
While the tall man was communicating with the old servant, many game prompts sounded in Ranran's mind.
Ran Ran carefully counted and found seven, which meant that all characters were online.
The ten people who then entered [Flower Eater] heard the same prompt in their heads.
[It has been detected that all characters are online, and the character-exclusive side quests have been opened. Please check it out, players/explorers]
Ran Ran blinked slowly, the loss in her eyes fading for a moment, but the voice in her head continued.
[This instance is divided into two sides, black and white. Explorer Evil Child, your lineup is——"Pure White"]
[Winning condition: Complete the reasoning before the members whose lineup is "pure black"]
[Character Elizabeth, Side Quest 1: Make Count Armand accept you sincerely, Quest Reward: Character Elizabeth's hearing]
Ran Ran suddenly opened her eyes wide. It was indeed just as Hei Cha said. It was completely different.
The gamification of Horror Cave is quite thorough.
There are not only task instructions, but also task rewards.
So her goal now is to find Count Armand... and try to get him to accept her?
But who is Count Armand and where is he?
Ranran could neither hear nor see now, and apart from the brief and crude background information at the beginning, she knew nothing at all. She had no idea how to find this Count Armand.
Black Hand…could it be the owner of the Black Hand?
Blackhand was the first person she met in the castle. She didn't hold out much hope. It didn't make sense for her to be so lucky that she met the target of the mission as soon as she came online.
After all, if she was lucky, she wouldn't have encountered such an explosive start and been in a completely passive position!
If someone really wanted to kill her, she would undoubtedly be a lamb to be slaughtered.
This situation made Ranran very uncomfortable.
But she calmed down and analyzed carefully, and found out that the target of the mission was a count.
According to her limited knowledge, the Earl is not only rich and powerful, but also of a respected status. It is reasonable for such a person to own an ancient castle with a long history.
Although Ranran was confused, she decided to treat Count Armand and the owner of the castle as the same person for the time being.
The reason why she could only make such a rough inference was that the information she had at hand was too little to allow her to make further speculations.
As she was lost in thought, the blurry blocks of color in front of her eyes kept changing.
It's not that she didn't have time to care, nor that she didn't notice, but that she couldn't take care of it.
No matter what happened in front of her, she had no way to cope with it. Although she was not a vegetable now, she was not much different from one.
With a tentative heart, Ran Ran spoke cautiously: "Is it you..."
"count?"
Ranran's assessment of her situation was slightly off. She did have a devastating start, but at the same time she was lucky.
Because the tall man standing next to her was her target - Count Armand.
