ace his past.The man twitched his lips and sneered, "Since the Emperor wants to see the little prince, he shouldn't put on such a face that makes people lose their interest."Ning Shu's face was pale....Many clues in Ning Shu's mind came together, as if a clear thread had emerged. 。The woman, seeing his uncharacteristic expression, couldn't help but ask, "What's on your mind"

Ning Shu nodded and shook his head, then opened his mouth and said, "I need to be certain...>>> 。The office worker seemed a bit agitated, he hesitated to speak, his eyes were bloodshot from staying up late. 。

It seemed like they were a bit tired and their expression was somewhat listless, almost lacking in energy.

But because of the urgency, his body was tense. 。"What evidence, can't you say it now"

Ning Shu shook her head and said: "I will tell you tomorrow" 。Ning Shu returned to his room, and he raised the candlelight. 。Then, he walked towards the only painting in the room, carefully clutching the candlestick. 。

Then slowly moved toward the painting. 。Michel's face on the wall was still hollow and black, he seemed to look down at the person below with a slight tilt of his head. 。Ning Shu's slender and fair hands, in the flickering candlelight, emitted a nearly translucent glow. 。He felt a pair of eyes pass over his face, but when he looked up, 。I only found Michelle's portrait in front of me, but her portrait had no face, including her eyes. 。

Only the exquisitely beautiful face, like that of a god, was missing. 。

Ning Shu was startled, thinking it was her own illusion. 。He stared at Michelle's portrait for a long while, he knew roughly why Michelle's portrait was faceless, because those people feared Michelle. 。He didn't even dare to look at his face, afraid of what he might see. 。So Michelle's face is always vacant. 。Ning Shu, as she had imagined, reached out her hand. 。As expected, I felt a pin on the portrait. 。Where the pins were, the paper had already yellowed a bit. This kind of pin was very popular in the last century. Ning Shu just now touched one on Michelle's portrait too. 。But...

When they entered the castle, the floor was covered with carpets. 。This wool blanket is not an ordinary wool blanket. Ning Shu felt that she had already gotten enough clues. 。He put down the candle. 。Then he drew his finger back, only to meet something soft and yielding. 。

It seemed as if something was playfully teasing his hand. 。

Then soon he let go. 。But when Ning Shu looked, there was only Michelle's portrait, nothing else. 。He gave a slightly hesitant smile and then turned. 。It's probably just my own illusion. 。

The next day, when he woke up, Hun hun appeared at the dinner table with a pale face. 。His lips were a little dry, almost cracked. 。

Things don't look good. 。When he knew Ning Shu had some leads, the hooligan almost stared at him with those eyes, then impatiently and irritably said: “What are you playing coy for I really don’t want to stay in this castle for another second!” He was still shaken, especially by that little boy named Michel. 。Just one glance is enough to send chills down your spine. 。Ning Shu said: "I think I know the secret of the Living Castle." 。Several people stared intently at him. 。

Ning Shudao: "The secret of the castle of living people is that there are no living people." 。"But the woman frowned and said, “There are no living people But aren't we alive”

Ning Shu shook her head. "The system just wants us to guess the secret hidden in this castle, so we aren't considered 'living people' within this castle." 。He paused, then continued to voice his suspicions. 。The blankets in the castle were new and very soft to the touch. 。But back in the last century, this kind of wool blanket hadn't appeared yet. 。

The pins behind the painting appeared in the last century. 。That is to say, this castle has a long history, dating back over a hundred years, while the servants and butlers inside remain unchanged, including Michelle. 。So Ning Shu guessed they were all trapped in a single space, and that space had imprisoned them all. 。Time is passing, and the butler and maid are long gone. 。So they don't need to eat. 。The scoundrels didn't want to listen to their nonsense. He went straight to the system and told it the secrets of the castle of living people. 。System: “Congratulations to the player for guessing the true secret of the living castle.” 。The gangster's face lit up with a look of ecstatic delight. 。

And office workers and women who saw him like this naturally knew that Ning Shu's guess was right. 。They each submitted their answers to the system one by one, and as expected, the system answered correctly. 。Ning Shu also told the system her answer. 。But after the crowd's initial excitement, it quickly subsided. 。Because they found that the system didn't mean for them to clear the instance. 。

The hooligans shouted loudly, "Didn't we already clear the level Why aren't you letting us out!"

The woman also frowned and said, "System, are we not finished yet"

A system voice rang out among the players: "Players, your answers are all correct, but it seems you have forgotten one thing, that is time. It has been over ten days..." 。"

A shift of unease passed over the crowd." 。They vaguely remembered, from when they first entered the castle... 。The copy sent out a welcoming voice: "Welcome to the Living Castle, as our guests for ten days." 。。But now, it is a fatal blow to their carelessness. 。That's why the butler gave them a strange smile when they had breakfast today. 。Everyone's skin was crawling, ten days... but it had already been eleven. 。The hooligan collapsed!

He grabbed his head and shouted. 。Then he turned and ran, but the castle's heavy sounds followed him, and the gate closed at some unknown time. 。And the system's voice also rang out: "Newbie dungeon, the secret of the living castle, the answer is correct because the task was completed overtime." 。So now the dungeon is closed for two hours as a penalty. As long as the players pass the two-hour test, they will receive rewards for leaving the dungeon. 。"If you fail to pass the level, what will happen" Ning Shu asked.The system paused for a moment before responding in a flat, emotionless voice, "Then you will become a resident of the Living Castle. Good luck, players." 。

Then the system disappeared. 。The castle gates were closed, and within the gloomy castle, lights flickered, and candles burned. 。At some point, the steward had been silently watching them. The expression that always seemed painted on his lips now appeared to be a portent of their fate. 。A chill ran down everyone's spines.

The hooligan sneered: "Just two hours I don't believe it. I've lived in this castle for eleven days, how can I not make it through two hours"

But the woman was starting to feel uneasy. 。Office workers are silent, but their eyes seem a little lost. 。His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like his spirit had been suppressed to the extreme. 。Ning Shu fell silent for a moment, he raised his head and glanced at the clock hanging in the castle. 。

Ning Shu always felt that time was passing very slowly, she didn't know if it was her illusion. 。It's not just him who thinks that, everyone else agrees. 。

About a while later.

The woman asked Ning Shu, how long has it been 。Ning Shu glanced at the time, then replied: "Two minutes" 。The office worker's face changed drastically, and he immediately refuted, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible. It can't be just two minutes; at least half an hour has passed. How could it only be two minutes..." However, when they looked at their watches, they realized that the time had indeed passed as much as they thought. 。

Everyone's faces turned slightly pale, and they waited for another half hour. 。The watch hand barely moved, there wasn't much of a change. 。They immediately suspected that someone might have tampered with the time. 。"System, this isn't fair! Time has been tampered with! This isn't fair to us!" 。After enduring so much for so long, the woman finally broke down. 。The system replied, "Greetings, new players. The time in the castle is correct." 。They realized why they were only given two hours of punishment time. 。For those two hours, they were almost pulled from one despair into a new one. 。

Two hours, time seemed to stand still. 。

Then this time is endless. 。Just when they felt hopeless, the sound of a wheelchair gradually approached from upstairs. 。

Michelle is... 。He looked at the people in the hall, his blue eyes falling on each of them, and then said, "What's going on"

Green stood aside, in a good mood, and said: "The guests did not follow the rules, so their contracts of sale are ours, Master >>> 。Do you think they look satisfied

Michelle didn't speak, she just watched Ning Shu with her eyes. 。He lowered his gaze, his eyes burning with a fervent and possessive heat. 。He said, "Greer, it's not very polite to lock up guests without my permission." 。“

The woman seemed to realize something, a thought flashing through her mind: "System, if Michelle is willing to set us free, wouldn't this punishment become void"

The system didn't deny it: "Players judge for yourselves"

” 。The woman, however, was certain. If that weren't the case, the system would have directly answered their words and refuted them. 。So all they had to do was make Michelle willingly let them go. 。But now the problem arises. 。They don't think, Michelle despite only being seven or eight... 。He possesses a face that is quite beguiling, with beautiful golden hair and a striking countenance. 。And those azure eyes, like a face bestowed by the gods themselves. 。

Would be the kindest one in the living castle. 。Because the office workers couldn't hide their joy, he said in a flustered and somewhat ingratiating way: "Master Michel, if you could let us go, we are willing to pay any price" 。Michelle cast her gaze down, a hint of pleasure in her eyes as they landed on Ning Shu. 。The corners of his lips twitched upwards, like a philanthropist 。The blonde, blue-eyed Michelle said, "Of course, I'd be happy to make that kind of deal." 。"And what can you offer me"

The demon stood atop the castle, his lips finally curling into a wicked grin. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze burning with undisguised desire. 。earance is graceful and beautiful, with an air of quiet elegance surrounding her. 。It seems distant but not unfriendly. 。It's this kind of aloofness that makes countless alha curious to explore. 。Ning...
