[Margaret’s Perspective]

I kept the dagger in my hand and my other hand on Elizabeth. “We’re going to have a real fight,” I told her. “Be ready.”

Elizabeth nodded beside .

Her performance just now stunned . I believed that Elizabeth had greater potential. Perhaps we just hadn’t given Elizabeth such an opportunity in our lives before. In the future, perhaps she could beco an outstanding warrior.

I used the key to open the door that was closed to us. I moved carefully, trying to avoid making any noise.

I looked at the stairs straight ahead. There was no one guarding that side. When I went out just now, I had already confird that there was a small hall up there, and then the bathroom on my right. There were no werewolves guarding the entire small hall, and outside the small hall was the exit door. There would definitely be soone there.

If we didn’t want to alert anyone outside, the best way was to go up the stairs. Everyone would think that if we fled, we would be heading for the front door of the house. They would overlook the windows on the second floor.

I opened the door wider so that Elizabeth and I could both get out through it.

I felt the pounding of my heart in my chest. The thumping made suspect that Elizabeth could hear it beside . I had never been so nervous. If I failed, it would not only be who would suffer. I would implicate Elizabeth. She trusted wholeheartedly at this mont, and with everything she had.

I avoided thinking about the possibility that I would fail.

As long as it wasn’t Angel, as long as I wasn’t drugged again, I believed that I could fight her.

Elizabeth and I walked up the stairs together to the small hall where I had just been.

The werewolves must all be outside. I could see the view out the window from here, although it was mostly dark. I guessed it was midnight. A lot of the people in charge of patrolling were probably sleeping too. This was a good ti to run.

I gestured for Elizabeth to follow . We slowly went up the wooden stairs. There was no carpet, so it was easy to make squeaking sounds.

We had to listen for sounds around us at every step to make sure no werewolf was alard by us.

By the ti we reached the upper floor, I was genuinely relieved. We were indeed in luck. Up here was a small attic with so old furniture piled inside. No one was guarding it. And there was a window big enough for either or Elizabeth to go through.

When I tried to open the window, I was slightly hampered.

There was an old-fashioned lock on the window. It looked like it had been there for a long ti. Although we found a key right next to the window, the lock was rusty.

I tried to aim the key at its lock core, but it wouldn’t fit.

If we just wanted to open it forcefully, it wouldn’t be a difficult task. We could just find a heavy object to smash it. However, that would definitely make a lot of noise. We had no way of knowing how many people were here. If we alard a lot of people, it would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of Elizabeth and leaving.

I stood still, thinking. We didn’t have a lot of ti. The other side could realize at any mont that Dick had disappeared.

Rust…?I rembered the relevant knowledge from my high school chemistry class. It took acid to remove rust.

“Acid… But how can there be acid here?” I realized I had given myself a difficult problem.

“Will the vials you found on the man be useful?” Elizabeth suggested.

How could I have forgotten about that?

I took out the small bottles from my clothes and examined them carefully. One of them was black. I recognized this as the kind of liquid that had been fed to us. Since it could be consud, it definitely didn’t have the strong acidity to react with rust.

I looked at the others. One of them was pink. A few bottles were transparent.

So of the strong acids I rembered using in my experintal classes were colorless and clear.

With a last-ditch effort, I opened a small bottle at random. After making Elizabeth take a few steps back, I poured half the bottle of liquid onto the rusty lock.

Elizabeth and I waited in silence for a few seconds.

The liquid didn’t react like water after it was poured on. Just as I was feeling disappointed, I suddenly heard Elizabeth gasp.

My first instinct was to look at the lock. It remained unchanged.

I looked at Elizabeth in confusion. She was pointing straight at the ground, her other hand covering her mouth to avoid making any more noise. I looked where she was pointing and my eyes widened for a mont.

So of the liquid that had been splashed on the lock earlier had dripped to the ground. Because this place was completely made of wood, the floor was naturally made of wood. We could see the spot where the liquid had dripped. The wood was silently dissolving and the effect was spreading. The ground was about to cave in.
