Chapter 13 Night in the Castle

　　Being inexplicably added to the assassination blacklist, no matter how calm Luo Xiao was, there was still a trace of uncontrollable anger.

　　She didn't want to admit that this was a fear coming from her subconscious. She was feeling afraid of a new person. Ever since E Xiu died, everything had gradually been out of control.

　　Fear can make people confused. Luo Xiao closed his eyes tightly and tried his best to adjust his mentality.

　　The atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

　　The three of them walked towards the underground studio.

　　On the way, Peng Lu wanted to mention things about the hospital several times. Even if players had other identities, they would not stray too far from the main map. Peng Lu thought this was abnormal, but every time he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Wen Shi. .

　　There are twice as many candles on the underground floor as there are blood pools. The ceiling is very low, and a damp and dark smell constantly fills the nostrils. The walls on both sides are very thick, and at the end of the long and narrow walkway in the middle is a semicircular arch door, which is covered with a large area of mold.

　　There is no lock.

　　Wen Shi raised his eyebrows. Isn't this the same as putting a sign at the door, welcoming people to steal.

　　The owner of the castle really implemented the principle of keeping the house open day and night in every corner.

　　Jars of dirty paint were placed haphazardly next to the easel, and the wind blowing from the cracks in the wall made the drawing paper squeak. Peng Lu checked and confirmed that it was just ordinary paint.

　　Wen Shi walked to the paint cabinet the housekeeper mentioned. The cabinet was larger than expected, about two meters high. It was still unlocked and there was a faint squeaking sound inside. Wen Shi turned sideways and opened the cabinet door, and a black shadow came out. He, who had been on guard for a long time, managed to avoid it.

　　The palm-sized little mouse fell heavily to the ground. Half of its fur was rotten and smelly. There were still several mice in the cabinet. There was not a single piece of flesh on his body, and the hair around his mouth was stained with scarlet paint.

　　The mouse's body was completely frozen. Wen Shi judged that Yin Qi had entered the body. He drank red wine mixed with paint and was judged to have Yin Qi entering the body.

　　The mice are much more aggressive, and they will just grab the pure paint and chew on it when they are very hungry.

　　Wen Shi suddenly thought of four words: fishing and law enforcement.

　　The owner of the castle is very powerful, but it is restricted in every way. He cannot kill people casually if he wants to.

　　The identity of [thief] is enough for him to deal with it.

　　As long as the Blood Bride is not stupid, she should know the consequences of stealing paints. She probably cannot refuse the temptation of these paints. However, she was very smart and only took away a small amount, which was not enough for the owner of the castle to take action directly, so she asked the housekeeper to issue the task.

　　It was confirmed that the Blood Bride would come here to steal the paint, so it was natural to make arrangements in advance.

　　Peng Lu asked Luo Xiao to get a bowl of clean water to make talisman water and prepare it to be poured into the paint. Whenever the Blood Bride uses paint, her power will be weakened.
