Chapter 335: Give a Girl a Chance
The Demon Queen had forgotten how long it had been since she last set foot in the human world. Since a long, long, long…ah, anyway, it was back then. After being punished and cast into hell, the Demon Queen had never returned, let alone ascended to heaven, to the side of her beloved. But the one who punished her…was precisely her beloved, that supreme God, the only God.
Sigh, why am I thinking about such sad things again! The queen from hell, let’s just call her the Hell Queen, shook her head vigorously. Pain and relief flickered across her face, as if two split personalities were fighting for control of her body. Soon, the carefree expression prevailed. She returned to her calm and natural demeanor, a smile playing on her lips, murmuring, “Sneaking into the human world…I can’t let my God find out~”.
If anyone saw the Hell Queen at this moment, they would definitely find her state strange, as if she had lost her mind, becoming carefree and foolish, her mentality completely inconsistent with her mature and elegant appearance, more like a playful young girl. This state was like a protective measure after the body suffered a great shock—amnesia, losing those sad and painful memories, leaving only pleasant and comfortable ones. Then she could live on with a smile—in this world without God.
No, no, what am I thinking, haha, how could there be no God? God is eternal and immortal. The whole world was created by her, all laws are controlled by her. God will always exist. I just have to stay in hell obediently…until she calms down. Then I can return to her side and accompany her. Then I won’t be so lonely that I want to die. I want to kiss God’s fingertips, kiss everything about her. I want to return to those happiest times, to be with God… The Hell Queen licked her lips, a charming and seductive expression appearing on her face. Happy memories filled her mind. Yes, she survived on this, barely surviving in the barren hell.
As for why she broke through the barrier and secretly came to the human world today, it was because some time ago, a Great Demon with broken horns reported to her subordinates that it had been summoned to the human world, only to step into God’s battlefield. It was unclear whether it was a continuation of the ancient divine war. According to its description, countless kings of the night, vampires exuding a strong bloody aura, had gathered on the battlefield. And a six-winged angel, one of the highest combat forces on God’s side, descended. A black-winged fallen angel (Chacoco) sang a song of destruction on a brightly lit altar (stage) that flickered with an unknown light and emitted a strange demonic sound. It was clearly a war between angels and fallen angels. Even a large number of humans participated, each holding a bottle of fire (glow stick) that could burn down forests and land when thrown.
In short, the Great Demon was almost scared to death. It didn’t dare to stay for a moment and hurriedly fled from this battlefield, which was even more terrifying than hell, but still paid the price of having its horns cut off by the six-winged archangel.
The Hell Queen didn’t believe there was any continuation of the divine war. It was all over. But unexpectedly, after that, this matter took root in the Hell Queen’s heart like a seed, popping up from time to time, making her restless. Finally, she decided to secretly come to the human world. As long as God didn’t find out, it would be fine. She naively and stubbornly clung to the belief that God still existed, as if she were still living in the distant past.
………………
“Is this the human world now?”
“It doesn’t look any different from back then.” The Hell Queen didn’t know that she had teleported to an escape room experience center inside a shopping mall after breaking through the barrier between hell and the human world. She found herself in a Western fantasy-style castle hall. It was a bit small, but decorated luxuriously. This was the hall of the vampire hunter family. Adele, playing the vampire hunter, would be whipped here as punishment for letting the vampire escape.
At this moment, the NPC hiding behind the secret door was still unaware of the Hell Queen’s arrival. As for the Hell Queen, she noticed him, but didn’t care, just like a human wouldn’t care about an ant crawling on the ground. The queen had no intention of looking down and crushing him. But she was interested in the door that suddenly opened before her.
Behind the door, under the light of the wooden corridor, a girl appeared, wearing an academy-style uniform, white warm stockings, and elegant small leather shoes. She had black hair and pink eyes, delicate and cute. She was holding a mithril Desert Eagle pistol in both hands, posing in a cool shooting stance at the door, as if ready to defend against any enemies emerging from inside. She believed that when a prop gun appeared in the game, there would definitely be a time to use it. Just like when beautiful girls appeared in yuri stories, there had to be some yuri action!
But Adele didn’t expect a real NPC to appear the moment she opened the door. At least, not so soon. She hadn’t even finished exploring the plot yet. But she had to admit, this NPC big sister…was making her drool! A voice in Adele’s heart was screaming, “Give a girl a chance! Beautiful sister!”
She was a beauty that even Adele, who had been among countless flowers, found stunning and unparalleled. She had jet-black goat horns, long, pure white hair, and captivating scarlet amber eyes. Her features were sharp and deep, her figure well-proportioned and slender. She had a mature and elegant, sexy and noble aura, like a resurrected goddess from ancient Greek sculptures, or a seductive succubus from hell. A beauty of this level should be walking the runway at Victoria’s Secret. No, she should be crowned Miss Universe! But she was working in such a small escape room experience center. It was a waste of talent.
Even Adele felt a pang of sympathy, blushing slightly and shyly hiding the Desert Eagle behind her back. How could she bear to shoot this big sister!? Could this be the difficulty of this level? As they said, even heroes couldn’t resist the allure of beauty. But thinking that Tang Linlang might be waiting for her behind this room, Adele gritted her teeth, entered the room, and said to the big sister cosplaying as a demon queen, who was staring at her intently with trembling pupils, “Um, big sister~,” Adele used her cuteness as an attack.
“Can you go easy on me? I’m in a hurry to clear this level and find my girlfriend.” But it didn’t seem very effective. Because the big sister before her didn’t react to her words at all. Or rather, from the moment she saw Adele, she seemed to have turned into a statue, only the intense trembling of her pupils proving that she was conscious.
Seeing no response, and feeling a chill down her spine from being stared at by the beautiful NPC, Adele grinned slightly and awkwardly brushed past her. Anyway, although she didn’t know what was going on with this NPC, she should just look for clues and piece together the plot. That was her purpose here.
And the following plot was far beyond Adele’s expectations, and it had nothing to do with the demon big sister before her. Adele even suspected that the big sister cosplaying as a demon had entered the wrong room. Perhaps another escape room customer was wondering, Where’s the demon big sister I booked!? Could Adele say that she had “poached” his demon big sister? It was quite amusing to think about.
Let’s first introduce the plot Adele pieced together by searching for clues in this room. The general content was that the vampire hunter who let the vampire go, namely Adele, returned to the vampire hunter family. And here, Adele never expected that she would face the judgment of the entire family.
The man who was the head of the family and also her father appeared, holding an earring in his hand. He glared at his daughter with a disappointed expression. And that gleaming, bloodstained earring was a gift she had given to Tang Linlang. It once swayed on Tang Linlang’s earlobe, shining brighter than the moonlight.
Adele’s heart sank when she found the clue item. Because the appearance of this earring could only mean one thing. Tang Linlang had been captured by the family members, and the fact that she had let her go had been discovered. This was why this escape room was designed as a castle hall.
The price for violating family rules was that Adele would be judged and whipped by the entire family here. A black whip hung on the wall. Looking at the bloodstains on it, Adele imagined herself kneeling on the ground, facing the accusations of everyone, the disappointment of her family, enduring the painful lashes one after another, but still refusing to yield for Linlang, a tragic beauty. Anyway, she was also the unwanted daughter of a monster. When she was still in her mother’s womb, her mother was bitten by a vampire and drank its blood. This caused her mother to develop a thirst for blood, becoming a bloodkin of the vampire.
No one knew whether Adele had been contaminated by her mother’s blood. But ever since she had memories, her only impression of her mother was a black and white sketch. The mother in the painting was gentle and beautiful. No one knew what she did, giving her all just to let her daughter live. As for her own ending, it was already doomed.
Growing up in the vampire hunter family, Adele was always treated as the daughter of a monster, bullied and humiliated… She only endured all this in silence. Perhaps this was one of the main reasons why she was confused about her own identity and wasn’t so cruel to vampires.
The reason she let Tang Linlang go and refused to expose her vampire identity along the way was because before receiving the mission to hunt Tang Linlang, Adele had met her once. It was when Adele was little. She was hiding in the garden, crying, when she met Tang Linlang, who was disguised as a human. Adele, with tears in her eyes, asked Tang Linlang, “Big sister, is life always so painful? Or is it just like this when you’re little?”
Tang Linlang didn’t say anything, but she gave Adele a lily. It was the first and only flower Adele had ever received in her life.
The head of the family asked her to admit her mistake, and he would forgive her, probably because Adele had shown her talent. She could become the strongest vampire hunter in history, a useful tool. But no matter how much she was punished, her back covered in blood, she refused to yield. So they threatened Adele, saying they would execute Tang Linlang in front of her.
Now, Adele had only two choices, but she only saw one—to save her. As Adele pulled the rope representing “choose to save her,” a mechanism was triggered, and a door leading to the dungeon opened. At the same time, several NPCs jumped out from hidden locations. They were the “family members” who were stopping Adele from rescuing Tang Linlang. And Adele’s Desert Eagle finally had a use.
But after they jumped out, before they could chase after Adele, they froze on the spot, because they were equally shocked and confused by the Hell Queen’s presence in the escape room, besides Adele. W-What…is she a customer from another escape room!? How did she get here!? An escape room couldn’t be opened without customers. Did she appear out of thin air!? They didn’t know that the surveillance cameras in this room had already been destroyed by the Hell Queen. So naturally, they didn’t receive any warnings from the staff in the monitoring room.
And Adele was immersed in her role. No one could stop her from saving Tang Linlang. Today, Adele was taking Linlang away, and she would see who dared to stop her. So the girl picked up her Desert Eagle, loaded it, and fired, all in one smooth motion. The current Adele was no longer the inaccurate shooter from before. The training at the academy had allowed her to adapt to tense combat environments.
Bang! A paintball was fired. A red powder cloud appeared on the chest of a staff member dressed as a vampire hunter. This meant the NPC was hit and couldn’t continue the chase.
At this time, the NPCs also reacted. Compared to the presence of the Hell Queen, their primary task was to catch the customer before them. Of course, they needed to go easy on her. But Adele’s skill was so outstanding that they suspected she might be a professional shooter!
Bang! Bang! This time, two shots were fired in quick succession, hitting the remaining two NPCs. The paintballs exploded on their chests, forming powder clouds. They hadn’t even started chasing, and they were all wiped out… How embarrassing. But according to the rules, they could only freeze on the spot, watching as Adele escaped from this room to find her vampire lover, Tang Linlang.
But then something unexpected happened. Adele, still feeling hot, loaded another paintball. However, this time, her target…was the Hell Queen.
