Chapter 667: Black Shadow at Night! Boots That Don't Fit!

Accompanied by a puff of dust, the Master Room's scene appeared at once.

"It's out!"

Su Yang just showed a hint of joy, and his gaze passed through the Master Room and landed on the right wall.

The opposite wall also burst open with a Boom—.

Familiar faces appeared, and the two looked up together, their gazes colliding and sparking.

The initial joy vanished completely, replaced by a chill.

"Isn't that a coincidence? I didn't expect Brother Tang to think the same as me," Su Yang said coolly.

"You really are a pesky plaster, wherever I go you cling to me," Tang Youning said.

"That line should have been given by me; if it weren't for Yu Meng's created commotion, could you have guessed this layer?" Su Yang retorted.

"I must say your luck is truly great; even while sleeping you obtain Luoshi others can't reach," Tang Youning said oddly.

"Stop this weirdness; compared to me, I think your luck is better—you're unrelated yet somehow stumble upon the thread," Su Yang said lightly.

"Instead of wasting words here, why not go into the Master Room to look for new Luoshi?" Tang Youning suggested.

"Su's Gallbladder is small, I don't dare go in without light."

"Brother Su jokes, when it comes to courage, who under the heavens can match you?"

"Speaking of it, I'm more modest; how about Brother Tang goes ahead?"

"Hehe…"

The two probed each other, yet never took that step.

The reason is simple: anyone who dares to take that step will inevitably meet death.

After a brief stalemate, Su Yang yielded first, "It's getting late, Brother Tang, I'll rest first, you take your time."

Saying that, Su Yang immediately pressed the switch, and the wall closed again.

"How unlucky…"

Yu Meng, seeing this, hurriedly asked, "How is it, did you notice any oddity in the Master Room?"

"It's too dark, can't see anything; we'll have to wait for dawn," Su Yang shook his head.

Yu Meng was greatly disappointed, but soon regained composure.

Although there was no direct gain, learning this news itself is already a massive Treasure.

"You say… why does the Count set up these mechanisms?" Yu Meng asked.

"On the surface, he must be a cautious person, a crafty rabbit with three burrows, most likely wanting a Retreat for himself," Su Yang analyzed.

"But… these are all Guest Rooms, and they're Two-way Passages; isn't he afraid that guests might harm him?" Yu Meng asked again.

"I understand your concerns; for safety, all Security Guards reside on the First Floor, while the Second Floor is for Guest Rooms and Maid's rooms."

"He has no gun on him, and there are no weapons in the Master Room; once a crisis hits, he will have no room to retaliate."

"The danger I refer to… is the people around him," Su Yang explained.

Suddenly, a possibility flashed in Yu Meng's mind, "Do you still remember the content of Gailun Bo Ge's letter?"

"A secret meeting?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow.

"The Count's intention is unknown for now, but the Count's wife must know this secret, and she can rendezvous with Security Guards through these Passages!" Yu Meng nodded heavily.

Su Yang could not agree with that point.

A golden hair strand was found on the Master Room's bed; he thought if it were a secret meeting, someone else must have entered the Master Room through the wall mechanism to entwine with the Count.

Only…

Diana lives in the Cellar; to achieve this, she would have to 'travel a long distance.'

The goal is huge, and the risk is also huge.

Thus the likelihood of doing so is extremely low.

"Could it be…"

A flash of insight struck Su Yang's mind, "Maid?"

"What did you say?"

"Do you still remember the Maid content that Zhai Sixin interpreted?"

"You suspect that the black‑haired Maid also has a thing with the Count?"

"No, if she were vying for favor she wouldn't write this; her hatred of Diana stems from more than this."

"What is that reason?"

Su Yang paced back and forth, glancing at the wall now and then, deep in thought.

He vaguely felt he had grasped the key point, but was just a little short.

Just that little bit could connect all the threads.

Just as Su Yang was deep in thought, a faint footstep suddenly sounded outside the window.

Yu Meng and Su Yang exchanged glances, then both ran to the windows of their rooms to look out.

In a hurried glance, a Black Shadow sneaked, clutching something, and ran toward the stables.

"That is… a person?" Yu Meng was stunned.

"To be precise, it's a Player!" Su Yang nodded slightly.

"How is that possible? No one can leave the room now!" Yu Meng's eyes widened as if discovering a New Continent.

"Much like you created a commotion without being punished by the rules, this person must have deceived the rules," Su Yang said gravely.

Just as he used Deception to successfully cause a certain change in the rules.

If Innate Talent were at Second Tier, it would be impossible.

But at Third Tier, the signs already appear.

In other words, this player who "escaped" the room is either a Third Tier Innate Talent who covertly slipped out.

or has a special Innate Talent, and the rules deem that they have not left the room.

"Vision Perception clearly? Male or female?" Su Yang asked.

"Didn't Vision Perception clearly, it was too fast," Yu Meng shook her head.

"No problem, then stay here; he'll come out sooner or later," Su Yang said softly.

Yu Meng lightly nodded, surprise evident in her eyes.

She truly could not imagine that anyone would act secretly in the shadows.

A full ten hours of rest time, according to relativity, while others could not act and this person was out gathering Luoshi, effectively gaining twenty hours.

If he remembers correctly, back during the Date Battle he had personally seen a player use a spirit body to move, crossing the restricted area to reach the male dormitory.

If the two Innate Talents are similar, then the rules truly have no way to deal with him.

After all, the flesh body is indeed staying in the room.

An hour later, Yu Meng was exhausted beyond measure, yet she still forced her eyelids to stay open.

"Why hasn't he come out yet?"

"What treasure inside the stable is so alluring?" Su Yang whispered.

"I've seen that place; besides horses and a pile of Feces, there's nothing else," Yu Meng said.

"Could it be that this guy went in to help clean the Feces?" Su Yang raised an Eyebrow.

As soon as the words finished, Yu Meng's expression turned serious, "He's out!"

Su Yang slightly lowered his posture, staring intently at the Silhouette at the stable entrance.

He saw the person deliberately squatting while moving; the figure under the Black Robe appeared unusually bulky, as if something was stuffed inside.

"He's very cautious, probably guessed that someone has noticed his movements," Yu Meng whispered.

"The heavens' net is vast and leaves no gaps; even if he's extremely alert, wearing shoes of the wrong size can still reveal plenty of information," Su Yang said softly.

Yu Meng fixed her gaze and indeed saw the person's squatting gait was extremely awkward.

And yesterday happened to be a thunderstorm; the ground was muddy, each step leaving a deep shoe imprint.

"Based on the shoe size, I'd estimate it's a size 43."

"But this person deliberately disguised himself, and his odd movement indicates his true shoe size is below 43."

"If it were only one or two sizes smaller, it wouldn't cause such a stumble; I guess his shoe size is around 39," Su Yang said calmly.

"Liang Kaiji?!" Yu Meng's willow Eyebrow twitched.

"Compared to a woman..."

Su Yang's Mouth corner held a strange hue, "I tend to think he's a man!"
