Chapter 2243: The Person the Death House is Waiting For

Beside the corridor, Anna, wearing a black long dress, pale-faced, with her hands bound at her lower abdomen, stood quietly.

Anna naturally saw the short blade in Su Xiao's hand, but she didn't say anything, just waited quietly.

At this moment, Su Xiao was standing face-to-face with Anna. The short blade in his hand was used to kill the master of the Death House.

【Execution Blade】 could not be completely destroyed. If the Execution Blade in Su Xiao's hand was destroyed, a new Execution Blade would appear before long. It was not forged by any person but generated by the Death House.

It was precisely for this reason that the Execution Blade was not tough enough. It was not used for combat but to maintain balance, to prevent the masters of the Death House through the ages from acting recklessly, just like Alice of the Demon Castle, who wantonly destroyed the game rules and decided who won or lost according to her own preferences.

Su Xiao's ability to obtain this Execution Blade was by no means a coincidence. The hunchbacked old woman in the black fog should have competed with Anna for the ownership of the Death House and eventually lost.

Don't look at Anna's sickly appearance, ready to die at any moment; the fact that she could defeat the hunchbacked old woman already explained her strength and ability.

The hunchbacked old woman finding him, Su Xiao felt, was not luck, nor was it because he was some chosen one, but because he had a Shadow Stone in his hand, which allowed him to obtain the Execution Blade from the Saintess through the Shadow Stone—that was all.

As the master of the Death House, whether she could always stick to her mission and maintain the fairness of the death game, no one knew.

And to judge this, no one had more say than the participants of the death game.

As for killing Anna with the Execution Blade to obtain rewards, there was absolutely no possibility. This short blade was used to restrain Anna. Even if he obtained this short blade, killing Anna without any reason would mean he would never walk out of the Death House.

Anna was not always a bystander. She actually participated in the death game and also had the risk of losing her life, which would also make her increasingly powerful. When one day the Death House no longer generated the Execution Blade, Anna would completely control the Death House.

The Death House was waiting for such a person to appear, and Anna was also moving forward for this. As for the hunchbacked old woman, she was actually the real bystander, the Silent One of the Death House.

The Silent One could not be judged by good and evil. She gave Su Xiao guidance before because she wanted the Saintess to be liberated, and to give Su Xiao a chance to obtain the Execution Blade. One was that the rules of the death game were such, and the other was that she was bewitching Su Xiao to kill Anna.

The important personnel known in the Death House were: Anna, the Silent One, and the Fog Keeper.

Besides these three, there were the Hunting Dragon Spider (Anyu's Throat) at the entrance, the Poet (the main body of the split monster) in the maze, and the Axe Brothers in the gray fog area.

"Are you going to use it to kill me?"

Anna spoke in a soft voice, but before Su Xiao could answer, she continued: "If it's not to kill me, then you want to use it to exchange something with me."

Anna's will to survive was not weak. She was not far from completely controlling the Death House. If she were killed at this time, she would lose everything.

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak, just looked at Anna.

"Even if you stare at me like this, I won't... interact with you? To use the description of your Samsara Paradise, your 1-point charm attribute doesn't allow me to do so."

Anna smiled and quietly took a small step back.

"..."

Su Xiao's gaze clearly began to become unfriendly.

"State what you want? If it's a collection in the Final Place, it can all be given to you. This is the reward for obtaining it."

"Nautical Luo Pan."

"Nau... compass?"

Anna was slightly puzzled. Clearly, there was no such collection in the Final Place.

"It's Mopi's compass."

"That is Mopi's private property..."

Anna shook her head, indicating that she wouldn't go to grab the compass from the hardcore believer Mopi.

"It's not anymore."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Anna immediately thought of what was going on. She knew the grudge between the Fog Keeper and Mopi.

"Wait a moment."

Anna walked toward the small wooden door opposite the corridor. In about half a minute, Anna walked out of the small wooden door, her hands covered in blood, and there were even blood spots on her face.

*Drip~*

Blood dripped from Anna's fingertips. She closed the wooden door lightly. Before the wooden door was closed tightly, Su Xiao saw the scene inside.

At this time, the Fog Keeper was kneeling on the ground, his forehead pressed against the ground, and most of his torso had disappeared. The wound on his torso was jagged, as if pulled off by a force, and near him, it was full of blood and broken visceral fragments.

"Forgive me, sorry, I won't dare next time, no no no, there will never be such a thing again, I swear, I swear..."

The Fog Keeper repeated in a low voice, and the arrogance from before could no longer be seen.

The wooden door closed tightly. Anna returned to the corridor. She raised her hand, and the lanyard of the nautical compass was looped around her index finger.

"It belongs to you."

As Anna spoke, a drop of blood dripped from the nautical compass. This thing was not large, square, about two-thirds the size of a cigarette case, and was of the flip-top type, only after opening could one see the compass scale inside.

Su Xiao tossed the short blade in his hand lightly, gripped the spine of the blade, and pointed the hilt toward Anna. Seeing this, Anna placed the nautical compass in Su Xiao's hand.

Seeing the attributes of 【Nautical Luo Pan】, Su Xiao felt this thing was very interesting. As equipment, it was not very good, at least in Su Xiao's view.

Not to mention the 151-point real charm attribute requirement, just the Sea-Kin race identity required for equipment made it impossible for Su Xiao to equip it.

As a one-time prop, it could play a decisive role. The compass needle would point to what one desired in their heart. This was how convenient and powerful this ability was.

If it weren't for the fact that it could only be used once, this thing could be called an "artifact." From now on, Su Xiao wouldn't have to worry about tasks. Just think about the task target, then open the compass, find the target, and hack them.

Putting away the nautical compass, Su Xiao looked at Anna. At this time, the Execution Blade was floating in front of Anna. Starting from the tip of the blade, the blade gradually turned into a black energy, gathered into a wisp, and was absorbed by the black long dress on Anna's body.

The masters of the Death House through the ages actually could not completely control the Death House. The Death House was not a dead object; it had consciousness, and it was waiting for someone who could completely control it to appear. For this, it had been waiting for no one knew how many years. ===== CHAPTER 2244 =====
