Chapter 1538: Chapter 1536: Study Room
With the information shared by “Aoki Shinshi,” Han Dong has already recorded all the details related to the ancient mansion in his mind, including the other five secret rooms where the treasure chests are stored.
The most prudent solution now is: [Return to the street, go to different villa areas to gather clues, kill the corresponding resentful aggregation to obtain six keys, and open all the mysterious treasure chests.]
Even if all the mysterious treasure chests don’t contain the “Box of Resentnt,”
they should still hold important clues or valuable ga items, surely won’t be a loss.
Since the two teams have reached a temporary alliance, the task burden is relatively halved.
However, Han Dong has other ideas.
“Nicholas, what do you think?
Since we are cooperating, we can return to the street. Based on the experience we’ve gained, acquiring two more keys per team should be no problem.
In the “pre-entry” phase, I carefully observed other participants; besides you, they should all be local killers with little threat, unless there exists a highly concealed presence that I couldn’t detect.
Of course, it’s largely unlikely.
If, during our return to the street to retrieve keys, other teams break in here, we should join forces to create opportunities for ‘justifiable defense’ and handle them cautiously.”
Han Dong does not deny Shinshi’s ideas, “That is indeed a very reliable plan… However, can you give
half an hour before we act?
After all, I have not gone upstairs yet; just hearing Shinshi’s description isn’t intuitive enough for .
Before acting, I want to understand the architectural structure of this building myself.”
Shinshi says tactfully as much as possible:
“Half an hour is a bit long~ This fully random mode doesn’t allow us to estimate when the highest difficulty will suddenly arrive; we should leave this ancient mansion before the ‘sound of leather shoes’ cos.
Nicholas, can you be a bit quicker?”
“Okay, I’ll speed up accordingly.”
After that, Han Dong quickly pulls Sally upstairs, preparing to conduct a detailed search from top to bottom.
Just after the two left, Shinshi softly gave instructions:
“Miss Forbidden Speech, quietly follow them… Be careful, they’re from S-01, don’t get discovered.”
The woman shrouded within her hood, only showing her chin and sealed mouth, appeared slightly puzzled, conveying her thoughts through a unique psychic communication:
“Hasn’t the upstairs been thoroughly checked already? Besides a few secret rooms, there’s nothing noteworthy… Is it necessary to follow them? Moreover, I have agents set up in various areas, if they try to secretly set any traps, I can detect them at any ti.”
“It’s necessary, since they could swiftly perceive the ‘Internal Shrine.’
Their observation level is surely unusual, perhaps they might discover details that we’ve overlooked… I myself feel strange, the six treasure chests hidden in the secret rooms are just too obvious, maybe there really are details we’ve missed.”
Miss Forbidden Speech nods.
She slightly tears off the talisman paper stuck to her mouth, gently chants with her cold lips.
Imdiately, the sounds related to her are muted.
When she steps onto the decaying and battered staircase, even though she sees the wooden stairs compressing and bending, no sound is emitted… She follows in absolute silence.
Watching Miss Forbidden Speech with a serious face, Shinshi is completely unworried.
Turning to Keigo, who was just redeed and looked apologetically.
“Keigo, are those two guys strong?”
“Yes, yes! They’re amazing… That woman’s [leg], not only is incredibly powerful, but also has a certain crushing trait, the instant she kicked my head, the brain tissue inside was already crushed.
Luckily, I withdrew the main body dispersed in the brain in advance, or it would have been crushed together.
As for that young man Boss has his eye on, he resembles a ‘zombie’ we encountered in past gas, but his mutation level is terrifyingly high.
He can grow eyes all over his body, moves quickly, and dodged my main body’s attacks multiple tis.
Moreover, his hand can turn objects into sand upon contact, and the chainsaw he carries on his back is extrely destructive.”
“In your opinion, who’s more formidable compared to ?”
“Judging solely from the situation just now, of course, Boss is more formidable… However, I estimate they haven’t shown their true abilities yet.
Mainly because Boss strictly required
not to ‘release’ without your personal permission.
If not, I wouldn’t be suppressed so easily.”
“So obedient~ Not bad!”
Shinshi stretches out his fine, feminine hand and lightly pats Keigo’s ssy hair as the latter gently shakes his tongue hanging outside his mouth, showing a sense of satisfaction.
…
During the ascent, Sally slowly morphs her long legs into goat’s hooves, leaving behind so sensory-active wool on each step.
“Nicholas, did you think of anything from the information they provided?”
“I didn’t think of directly relevant information, but based on Shinshi’s description, I’m quite interested in the -[Library] located on the third floor of the mansion.
They certainly arrived at the mansion during the second round of [“Highest Difficulty”], with a search ti not exceeding two hours… if they wanted to search all areas, surely there was no ti to peruse the text information in the library.
I hope there’s sothing preserved in the library akin to diaries or notebooks.
If my intuition fails and we find nothing, we’ll just follow Shinshi’s plan, and go back to search for keys.”
“Alright…”
Part of Han Dong’s desire to visit the library was intuition and interest.
According to Shinshi’s description, such a massive mansion having only one library set in a corner room on the third floor… Han Dong does not doubt this group’s search capability.
Only when considering comprehensively, the only area they could overlook would be text information in the library requiring substantial ti to read.
Creak!
The wooden door opens… right arm imdiately conveys a sense of fresh blood.
On the desk near the window, a seemingly living pen is writing sothing, with blood replacing ink.
When Han Dong cautiously approaches to check, he discovers the pen scribbling randomly, even sowhat doodling letters that don’t resemble text at all.
The pen itself poses no danger.
Moreover, the entire library was turned upside down, with books once neatly placed all scattered on the floor, even the bookshelf had a hole dug… and the desk drawers were all opened.
“These guys, really ssed up~ Such destruction might lead to losing critical clues.
Sally, co and help tidy up the books.
By the way…”
Han Dong suddenly sticks his head out of the library, looking towards the lengthy third-floor corridor.
“Miss Forbidden Speech, could you please lend a hand? You should still rember the library’s original layout and the arrangent of books, we need to perfectly restore the scene now.”
Miss Forbidden Speech, cloaked in her hood, slowly erges from the shadows, her face full of astonishnt, unable to fathom how she was exposed, even though she carefully avoided all the wool along the way.
