After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 413 Barrage Protection, Leading to the Secret Chamber
Behind the family photo in the study is a secret door leading to a hidden room.

Cedril led the way, holding a light source. The warm light dispelled some of the eerie atmosphere, but outside the light, a chill still ran down one's spine.

Humans are creatures who are always afraid of the strange and bizarre, yet can't help but indulge in wild fantasies.

Commonly known as, scaring yourself.

[There really is a secret passage? That's incredible! What a coincidence! Was the script really something they found at the last minute?]

[The terror level of the castle's encrypted passage is skyrocketing! I'm so scared!!!]

[He really has to be a 'general'! Look at him, charging forward without hesitation, paving the way for 'love,' tsk tsk~]

Why is this secret passage so dark? I really suspect it was used for some shady things before.

[It could also be an escape route or something? I've looked up the history of this castle; it survived wars, and given the current unrest, it's not surprising that it has been preserved.]

So...isn't anyone curious about what's inside? I bet you there's a secret research facility in there!

The sudden appearance of the secret passage has fueled the enthusiasm of netizens. Those who previously thought they had identified the culprit are now regretting their hasty action.

With the existence of the secret passage, the previous timeline and alibi could potentially be overturned.

"It's a good thing I didn't let Beibei come, otherwise I was really afraid she would scream and have nightmares."

As a mother, Evelyn's first thought was of her precious daughter.

Although Beibei participated in the murder mystery game as an NPC last night, her presence or absence will not actually affect the progress of the game.

Today, Bebe's friendship with the Platinum Lion has made great strides, so she doesn't want to leave and just wants to stay with Cyril, even though Cyril ignores her.

"Beibei is actually very brave."

Liang He and Leila tacitly shielded Evelyn in the middle. After hearing her words, Liang He chuckled softly.

After the Platinum Lion saved Beibei, Liang He originally thought that Beibei would be scared or even have nightmares, and that she might need psychological counseling.

When Liang He learned that Bei Bei's mind was entirely focused on the lion that saved her life and that she hadn't been frightened into having any psychological problems, she realized that the little princess was actually a very brave child.

"Her mental resilience is even stronger than that of some adults."

Even nowadays, some adults still threaten suicide at the drop of a hat, and when asked, they always say it's because they're under too much pressure.

Despite the exceptionally privileged environment in which the little princess grew up, her every word and action is still under constant scrutiny.

In short, more attention is focused on Beibei, and there are more expectations and criticisms directed at her. If she makes a slight mistake, she will be criticized. So, at such a young age, she actually bears a lot of pressure.

But everything has its price; she enjoyed wealth and luxury, but she had to pay the price, which naturally included her childhood.

"Actually, as a mother, I only hope that she can be healthy and safe."

Some parents may have thought the same way as Evelyn at first, but gradually they are swayed by societal trends and begin to hope that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes.

But Evelyn was different; she genuinely felt that as long as Bebe was healthy and safe, that was enough.

It doesn't matter if she isn't the royal princess that everyone admires.

“I think Beibei is enjoying it too.”

Liang He comforted Evelyn, sensing Evelyn's guilt towards Beibei, feeling that she had deprived the child of the joys of childhood.

"If she really resists, given her personality, she may not compromise."

Despite her young age, Beibei is actually quite opinionated.

"Besides, you often take her out to play and broaden her horizons, which is already very good." Liang He didn't know much about parenting, but she could tell that Bei Bei was very happy, which was exactly what Evelyn, her mother, hoped for.

"Yes! Beibei is indeed a very good child."

Evelyn, who rarely praises her daughter in public, was oblivious to the live stream cameras.

Fortunately, Beibei probably can't hear, so she doesn't need to worry about the child being too proud or complacent. Of course, she also praised her a lot in private, so the emotional value was still very high.

"Ahem... Why don't you guys check your surroundings first? We're still collecting evidence."

Leila whispered a reminder to them not to get so caught up in parenting that they'd forget what they were doing.

Moreover, there were viewers in the live stream, and Lyra was genuinely worried that Evelyn might get carried away and say something that was inconvenient for the viewers to hear.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it. Please forgive me."

Realizing she had strayed a bit from her character's script, Evelyn immediately apologized to the live stream camera.

Logically speaking, this situation shouldn't occur in such an immersive script-based murder mystery game.

"Actually, it's quite normal for the Countess to have expectations and love for her only daughter."

Noticing Evelyn's emotions, Liang He immediately brought up their conversation with the script.

Bebe herself is also the Countess's child, so what they just said wasn't entirely off-script.

[The young lady is so kind; she even spoke up for the countess!]

[Haha~ Why do I feel like the young lady is even more out of character? Isn't the Countess the stepmother?]

Honestly, if I hadn't overheard them discussing parenting tips, I probably wouldn't have dared to watch the live stream; I was afraid I'd be scared...

Hearing that someone like a 'Countess' also struggles with childcare makes me feel a lot closer to her.

[Shh—everyone, quickly cut the camera to see what Admiral Lille is doing!]

Suddenly someone mentioned Cedril, and driven by curiosity, many netizens were tricked into switching the camera angle, only to be almost scared out of their wits!

Cedril stopped in his tracks, staring at the NPC in white standing motionless in the corner, completely unaware of how terrified the netizens had become.

"Holy crap... this place is haunted?"

You stared wide-eyed, not out of fear, but out of curiosity about whether it was true or not.

Although it's highly likely to be fake, what if it is true? Wouldn't he have a completely new research subject?!
"They must have escaped from there."

Landon pointed to the door around the corner and noticed signs that it had been opened.

Unaware of what lay behind the door, the crowd's curiosity far outweighed their fear.

If this were the real world, it would be a classic case of curiosity killing the cat; you reap what you sow.

"But why is he not moving at all?"

Li Xiao frowned in surprise, not quite understanding the significance of this NPC's appearance.

Since they are NPCs who are deliberately standing here, shouldn't we scare them a little?

"...I was just scared."

Cedril led the charge, standing at the very front, so he was the one directly facing the NPC.
