In the stage play "Fright Night," an old man named Corey played the role of the [Old Butler].
He was an animal smuggler himself,
In this world where human and beast hybrids were the dominant species, animal smuggling was a first-class crime... but he was extremely good at 'escaping' and had escaped capture for hundreds of years.
He had a signature aquiline nose and an agile and thin figure.
He was able to escape the pursuit of the Universe Federal Bureau many times because of his "high mobility."
He was born with four legs, and the extra legs were as slender as bamboo poles. They could usually fit between his main legs, and as long as he wore pants, it was impossible to see them.
When the stage play started, he was teleported to the housekeeper's room.
He quickly changed into the old butler's clothes and quickly got into the mood when he tidied up his clothes in front of the mirror.
As a fugitive, his acting skills were naturally not bad.
The [Old Butler]'s prop was also a practical type - "Automatic Map."
It was essentially a blank sheepskin scroll. As long as he walked through an area, it would be accurately recorded on the sheepskin scroll.
As long as he explored more areas, the map of the mansion would be more detailed.
This prop also had a string of small words - "When the exploration rate reaches 50% or more, the map will also record moving targets between the mansion."
"What a good thing! The later it gets, the more information I can grasp... once the exploration reaches 50%, I can even monitor the movements of each participant to avoid danger in advance. "
Since this prop needed to be actively explored to be effective,
Corey also brought out the temperament of a butler, held a candlestick, and began to explore the mansion.
Of course,
Considering the dangerous situation that he might encounter, Corey cut his trouser legs in advance so that he could separate the appendages at any time to quickly escape.
"The exploration efficiency is quite high... as long as I open the door of any room, the detailed structure of the room will be directly imprinted on the sheepskin. What a good thing!
However, if the room itself has a secret door, I still have to explore it myself.
There's no need for me to explore the secret door or secret passage in the early stages... I'll explore the surface first and reach a 50% exploration rate before considering the deeper things.
Speaking of which, the mansion built by the circus was really like a maze!
Since every passage looked exactly the same, it was easy to numb one's mind during a long period of exploration.
My luck is not bad. Fortunately, I have a map here. "
Creak!
When the old butler Corey pushed open a door on the second floor of the mansion again.
Coincidentally, a bolt of lightning flashed through the window...
In an instant.
He actually saw a terrifying black shadow lying on the ceiling with a bloody mouth and a swaying bony tail … Its blood-red eyes were staring at him.
Although he didn't feel any killing intent, his instincts were already urging him to run.
"What the hell is this?!"
Corey's survival instincts were stimulated. His two thick appendages were already propped up on the ground, and he immediately fled at top speed … He didn't have much desire to fight, and usually, he would just run away.
After running for about a few hundred meters, he was about to turn back to see if that terrifying thing had caught up.
Bang!
Suddenly, he bumped into someone at the corner, and both of them fell to the ground at the same time.
The terrified Corey hurriedly moved the candlestick closer to his eyes.
The individual that was illuminated by the light wasn't the terrifying creature from before … Instead, it was a cold-looking brown-haired woman.
Corey immediately recalled the 'family portrait' he had seen in the housekeeper's office.
"Miss Lyss, I'm really sorry!
A very dangerous creature has broken into the mansion, please return to your room quickly! "
Corey played the role of the old housekeeper quite well. Even in such a tense situation, he still acted as the character.
Miss Lyss was the family's [eldest daughter], and when she heard the housekeeper's words, she also seemed quite nervous.
"My foot seems to have been sprained."
The collision just now seemed to have injured her ankle, and she could only limp forward with the help of the housekeeper.
During this period.
Miss Lyss kept looking behind her, on guard against any monsters chasing after her.
"Housekeeper, the monster you mentioned doesn't seem to be chasing after us … My foot hurts. Should I take a break first?"
"Alright."
The old housekeeper, Corey, glanced at the sheepskin map. They had fled for hundreds of kilometers. Although they couldn't open the rooms they passed along the way, the overall exploration rate had reached 18%.
Ga ~
The two of them temporarily hid in a relatively narrow compartment, like a junk room.
"Miss, let me see your injury … I'm really sorry ~ That monster is too scary."
Corey was still very good at [Foot]. If it was a minor injury to the joints, he was confident that it would be healed immediately.
"It's okay."
Miss Lyss stretched out her white jade-like foot.
If it were any other day, Corey would probably lick it directly … During the performance, he could only suppress the desire in his heart and carefully examine the ankle injury.
However.
As he rubbed his fingers repeatedly, the old housekeeper, Corey, showed a puzzled look because he didn't find any injuries.
"Miss, your foot …"
Halfway through his words, Corey suddenly froze, and his eyes quickly widened.
His appendages and legs cooperated with each other and suddenly bounced up like a grasshopper.
He needed to escape from this room.
Just as he was about to reach the wooden door of the compartment … a thin thread suddenly shot out and tightly wrapped around his body, even drilling under his skin to restrict his muscles and joints.
His body could no longer move.
Corey turned his only unrestricted head and looked behind him in horror.
'Miss Lyss' was showing a morbid and surprised expression, but the voice coming out of her mouth was a strange man's voice:
"Oh? How did you find me … You shouldn't be able to determine my identity just by not being injured, right? Answer my questions well, and maybe I'll make it less painful for you. "
"There's something wrong with your skin … It's like a temporary paste. The bone structure and size are more like a man's, and there are lines wriggling between the blood vessels.
I've been wondering from the beginning where the [Actor], this important person, is? It seems that you should be able to disguise yourself as any of us, so you didn't show up at the beginning.
If I hadn't met that dog-like monster just now, I might have noticed your abnormality in advance. "
"You're very smart. Older guys are more experienced.
As promised, I won't make you suffer. "
His finger moved.
A thin thread went directly through the back of his head, and his consciousness was cut off.
The unconscious old housekeeper was dragged behind the [Actor], as if to be taken to a special area for treatment.
The room that was currently being led into also had another secret.
He gently pushed a certain wall brick.
Boom ~
An "elevator" hidden in the wall appeared, and it seemed to lead straight to an unknown underground area.
Just as the actor Matthew was about to drag the old housekeeper into the elevator, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed outside the room.
When the lightning flashed, a black shadow quickly broke through the window of the compartment.
The sudden change stunned Matthew for a moment, but he also shot out the suture thread in the next second … Whoosh!
However …
The thread didn't completely hit the monster, but only shot into the opposite wall … But the end of the thread was dyed red, which should have caused some superficial damage to the monster.
The black shadow had left through the window.
Matthew himself was not injured, but the right side of the old housekeeper's clothes was torn off by the monster.
"This guy! Did he follow me quietly all the way? "
The actor Matthew didn't chase out, but he suppressed his anger and took the old housekeeper to the basement … He had more important things to do.
The wind was raging, and the snow and rain were falling outside the house.
A Canine was lying on the edge of the roof, holding part of the old housekeeper's torn clothes in its mouth, including the "automatic map."
