55: Heartwarming Passage

Seeing this scene, the assistant was first startled, then reacted.

"Damn it!"

He cursed, not bothering to think further, and rushed up behind Song Yang.

In a pool of blood, Ellie looked at Dai Xiaomei, who even in death, protected her beneath her body, and a certain emotion seemed to appear on her lovely face.

When she saw Song Yang and the assistant rushing towards them, wailing, she suddenly smiled faintly.

The next moment, Song Yang and the assistant both fell.

The strength gap was too great; in just a blink of an eye, they were unceremoniously sent flying by Goethe's chainsaw.

However, in the last moments before their death, the two suddenly heard an ethereal voice in their ears.

On the other side, Dai Xiaomei, who had been reborn in the attic, was no longer afraid this time.

Even alone, she unhesitatingly crawled back into the dark passage.

"Ellie, big sister is coming to save you!"

"Don't be afraid!"

However, before she could crawl out of the passage, Dai Xiaomei heard Ellie's voice in her ear.

At the same time, the darkness before her eyes gradually shattered with Ellie's ethereal voice.

"Big brother, big sister, thank you."

"Ellie... doesn't remember how many times she's been abandoned."

"Thank you for not abandoning me."

"This time, let Ellie send big brother and big sister out."

As her voice fell, Dai Xiaomei appeared outside the castle.

Beside her, the figures of Song Yang and the assistant also reappeared one after another.

Only Yuan Hao and the other two, who had already run out of the castle, were nowhere to be seen.

Looking at everything around her, both familiar and strange, Dai Xiaomei felt as if she had just had a dream.

Suddenly, she came back to her senses and looked up at the castle in front of her.

"Ellie..."

As if remembering something, Dai Xiaomei covered her mouth, tears flashing in her eyes.

Just now... did Ellie send her out of the castle?

On the other side, Song Yang and the assistant were completely bewildered, not yet knowing what had happened.

It wasn't until they heard Dai Xiaomei say the name Ellie that the two finally reacted.

It was that cute and well-behaved little girl who sent them out?

"Brother Yang, why did I hear that little girl's voice just now?"

"And, why do I feel an urge to cry?"

The assistant rubbed his eyes, somewhat puzzled.

"How would I know?"

"Damn it, the boss really knows how to play!"

Song Yang exhaled heavily, saying irritably.

He also felt a bit uncomfortable now.

He hadn't expected the key to clearing the game to be with that little girl.

"Oh, right, boss!"

"I'm going to find the boss!"

Dai Xiaomei now came back to her senses, wiping the corners of her eyes.

However, before she could turn around, a familiar voice sounded behind the three of them.

"Looking for me?"

"What are you looking for me for?"

Li Zhou, who had just arrived from the monitoring room, looked at Dai Xiaomei's slightly red eyes and asked with a smile.

"Boss?!"

Seeing Li Zhou appear, Dai Xiaomei was first startled, then reacted, and immediately stepped forward, eagerly asking, "How is Ellie?"

"Ellie?"

Hearing Dai Xiaomei's words, a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of Li Zhou's eyes.

"That's right, it's Ellie!"

"She wasn't killed by that butcher, was she?"

Perhaps it was maternal love overflowing, or perhaps Dai Xiaomei herself was a kind person.

Even though she knew Ellie was an NPC, and perhaps even virtual.

"Ellie... doesn't remember how many times she's been abandoned."

But the words that had echoed in her ears earlier made Dai Xiaomei feel like crying.

So, after learning that Ellie had sent her out, she just wanted to know how she was doing now.

"She's doing very well right now."

Li Zhou looked at the worry and anxiety in Dai Xiaomei's eyes, a gentle smile appearing on his face, and he said softly.

Hearing this, Dai Xiaomei immediately felt relieved.

On the other side, for some reason, Song Yang and the assistant also suddenly felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

"Do you... want to see her again?"

Li Zhou took in their expressions, and he suddenly asked very mysteriously.

"Of course..."

Dai Xiaomei hesitated for almost nothing, subconsciously wanting to nod.

But the next moment, she seemed to remember something, struggled for a long time, and finally changed her mind, saying, "How about we wait until tomorrow?"

Dai Xiaomei felt that this day had been more exciting than her entire previous year.

After entering the castle, her heart had been like a rollercoaster, never settling down.

Before, because of the tense atmosphere in the castle, she hadn't felt much.

But now, after clearing the game, she felt a deep sense of exhaustion.

After learning that Ellie was fine, she finally relaxed and decided to go back tomorrow to see this little girl who was so well-behaved that she couldn't help but feel pity and love for her.

"I didn't say you could only see her by entering the castle."

Li Zhou suddenly shook his head at this point, chuckling.

What does that mean?

Does it mean they can see her without entering the castle?

Hearing Li Zhou's words, Dai Xiaomei and Song Yang were both stunned.

Before they could think further, the gates of Devils Castle actually opened again.

The next moment, a scene that left the three of them somewhat dumbfounded appeared.

They saw the first-floor hall of Devils Castle reappear.

A familiar tall figure stood silently at the entrance, holding a chainsaw, and on his shoulder sat a cute little girl.

The tall figure was Goethe, and the little girl on his shoulder was Ellie.

At this moment, Ellie's face wore a childlike smile, forming a stark contrast with Goethe, who stood below her, his eyes indifferent and exuding a terrifying aura.

Seemingly remembering Dai Xiaomei and the other two, after the gates opened, Ellie's eyes lit up, and she waved at Dai Xiaomei: "Big sister!"

Dai Xiaomei stood frozen.

For a moment, she couldn't distinguish what was real and what was fake.

Didn't they say everything in Devils Castle was virtual?

Before, after dying and reviving several times, when she met Ellie on the second floor, Ellie hadn't greeted her like this.

Why did Ellie remember her after clearing the game?

"This, this, this..."

"This isn't right?!"

Because of the constant sense of realism, Song Yang and the assistant had successfully forgotten that Li Zhou had previously said Goethe was a robot.

Compared to the stunned Dai Xiaomei, they looked as if they had seen a ghost, their expressions astonished.

The two of them had witnessed Goethe's terror.

They never expected that this terrifying big daddy, who had no human emotions, would be willing to let Ellie sit on his shoulder.

This was too surreal, wasn't it?

"Ellie!"

At this moment, Dai Xiaomei came back to her senses.

A brilliant smile appeared on her face, and she raised her hand, waving at Ellie.

For some reason, just now, Dai Xiaomei felt that she wasn't so afraid of Tianfeng Haunted House anymore.

It seemed that Li Zhou's Haunted House wasn't just about realism and terror.
