【Rustle——】

[At first you think that Roderick's enthusiasm is exaggerated, and you have to make a lot of efforts to convince yourself that the person in front of you is indeed your childhood friend.] 】

The narration of the forced simulation of this subsystem continues, and the content makes Jian Hao unable to speak, after seeing that the main NPC of the plot plane, Roderick Usher, is this kind of existence, Brother Hao at least summed up the first unspoken rule - this thing must not be conquered by force.

After a brief conversation (in fact, Roderick asked for warmth), Brother Hao and Lin followed him and began to visit Usher Mansion, during which they also talked about a lot of things about themselves.

Of course, under normal circumstances, no one would want to hear these things at all, at least Brother Hao and Lin don't want to hear them, but in the current situation...... That's another matter, Brother Hao knows that there must be a lot of key information in his chatter, and the task is not also to help Roderick escape from difficulties......

Soon, it was time for dinner.

Usher Mansion is a big mansion, needless to say the standard of dining, although there are only three people eating at the moment, but the table is still not decent, Jian Hao sat on the chair and found that he needed to look out to see the male host opposite......

"Oh~ my dear friends," said Roderick, who seemed to explain why there were only fruits and vegetables and thin soup on the plate, as if the butler had served the dishes.

"As you can see, I'm very sick...... Now I can barely eat only the most bland and tasteless food, so there are not many good ingredients in the cellar, please understand......"

"Ah...... It's okay......" Brother Hao played a round, it doesn't matter what you eat, it doesn't matter what you eat.

"You know, all the scents of flowers are unbearable for me, and even the faint light can make my eyes hurt so much...... So ......"

"Ah...... It's okay......" Brother Hao still understood.

After a moment of silence, dinner went on as scheduled...... This is the first time Brother Hao has eaten in the plot of a blind date show, and the last time was in the trial tower...... But before he could eat anything that time, he was disturbed by the bald William's family.

You can't eat things indiscriminately, but the program team won't be poisoned, so Brother Hao didn't think much about it and began to feast; On the other side, Lin Zaizhi Jian Hao made a move, and he didn't act as a demon, and the three of them carried out the dinner to the end in such a silent manner.

To be honest, as far as Brother Hao's own cognition goes, this dinner is estimated to not last long, and the time limit for the second part of the task is only thirty minutes, although this time has not triggered the FLAG of the related task, but it doesn't seem to be too long.

Sure enough, just as everyone hadn't eaten a few bites, the butler, who had been away for a while, turned back again, and he didn't have a tray in his hand, obviously...... He didn't come to add food, he looked indifferent, came to Roderick's side with a sad face, whispered something to the man, and then ......

Roderick fell into hysteria.

Brother Hao and Lin were shocked to see that the tall Roderick swept the tableware in his hand to the ground, and then raised his head and shouted desperately, "Knock knock!" The ground ran out.

The two people at the table didn't know what was going on, and Brother Hao wondered if he was afraid that the housekeeper had forcibly triggered some plot FLAG...... However, the difficulty in the current situation is to continue to eat apples as if nothing happened...... Or do you want to run out with Roderick and see what's going on?

Fortunately, the tasks in the novice field were not so perverted, and soon, Roderick himself ran back, and as soon as he came back, he collapsed to the ground, muttering all the time.

"She's dead...... She's dead......"

Oh, and by the way, there is another very important person in the House of Usher, and that is Roderick's sister, Madeleine Usher.

…… Speaking of which, why didn't you see her when you were eating?

Looking at Roderick in pain on the floor, Hao Ge felt that it might be because Madeleine had been sick in bed...... So there was no way to welcome guests, or even to move around, and now, the ominous doom was always there, and just as everyone was eating around a table a few meters away, Madeleine ...... Finally succumbed to the overwhelming power of death?

In addition to his grief, Roderick also began to mumble to himself.

"I'm going to die too......"

How do you say that?

"I'm scared of what's coming...... I fear that sooner or later the moment will come when I have to give up both life and sanity at the same time...... Then...... No more ...... Fight against terrible illusions and ...... Fear. ”

"Fear!"

He repeated the word, uh, as Roderick's best friend, Brother Hao felt that he had to pick up the conversation and say something no matter what he said, otherwise it would be embarrassing...... The plot is not easy to unfold.

"But what are you afraid of? Roderick? I must know what is tormenting you at all times, the dead are gone, you have to mourn......"

Brother Hao's language is pale and weak, but ...... He didn't know what to say.

"I confess......" Roderick's face turned paler than Brother Hao's, and he cried out, "most of the melancholy that afflicted me could be traced back to a serious and long-lasting illness......

There was a long pause before he continued, "What I said...... It's my gentle sister, my beloved sister, Madeleine. She has been my soulmate for so many years...... She's me too...... The last loved one in this world......"

To be honest, although he was just an NPC and just a normal girl control maniac, Roderick was so sad when he said this...... It really made Brother Hao and Lin Yiyi shudder a little (after all, there was a thunderstorm outside the window, and there was a light in the house), although he said so, everyone knew that Roderick had completely fallen in love with his sister.

"Madeleine......" Roderick got up from the ground and sat back in his chair trembling, his words still whispering, "she's dead...... I'm the only one left of the old House of Usher......"

Roderick then recounted how Madeleine was afraid of the outside world when she was younger, and when he began to tell, his voice was so helpless, nostalgic and trembling, that Roderick loved her because of her purity, but now ...... Usher's lonely life was destined to have no successor.

When Roderick told these past events, Brother Hao and Lin Yiyi didn't speak, Brother Hao didn't know the direction of the plot, and Lin didn't understand the situation at all, but fortunately, although everyone didn't understand something, they were also very aware of the current affairs, and this would not interrupt the sad behemoth in front of them, so it would be ...... I listened quietly.

Although Roderick talked a lot, fortunately he was not particularly verbose, in addition to the atmosphere rendering was in place, he spoke very concisely, and soon, everything that should be said was finished, at Roderick's request, Brother Hao and Lin followed him to Madeleine's room.

The girls' boudoirs are actually almost the same, dressers, dressing mirrors, princess beds and the like...... The only difference is that Madeleine's room is not much different from the tone of the entire Usher Mansion, this place is dim, old, and precarious, when Brother Hao and the others rushed over, Madeleine lay peacefully on the bed, although she was neatly dressed, but it had indeed been cold for a while......

Brother Hao looked at the dead Madeleine, and then looked at the grief-stricken Roderick, still didn't know and didn't want to say anything, just signaled Lin to care about the bedside with him, just look at it like this, don't do much.

After a while, the grieving Roderick finally made the first request to Brother Hao and others, entrusted by him, Brother Hao and Lin helped him take care of Madeleine's temporary funeral affairs, they put the dead Madeleine in a coffin, nailed willow nails, and carried it into the basement.

On this night, the turquoise moon was silent over the scene.
