Chapter 258

Bai Zhi didn't say why she wanted to give up hiding to accompany him on an adventure into the castle, and Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe didn't ask. The two left the laundry room one after the other and stepped onto the gray-white stone path.

Following the path, they walked onto a wide avenue. The two sides of the avenue connected to the purification hall and the main entrance of the castle's main building respectively. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe roughly imagined in his mind: people living in the castle coming out of the main entrance, walking along the wide avenue into the purification hall to bathe, then passing through the rose-filled garden path, and entering the lecture room to listen to the scriptures. Outside the door, in the execution ground, a human head had just fallen to the ground.

The more Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe looked at this Vanessa Castle, the more it seemed like a cult den.

Europeans do not have the habit of planting trees and greenery in gardens. Inside the stone-built city walls, the only green was the thorny roses in the flower beds; apart from that, it was a gloomy gray-white. Being inside the walled city, it was cramped and oppressive.

The main body of the clock tower was a very typical European-style fortress: thick walls, high windows, and narrow doors. It looked more like a gorgeous prison cell than a residence. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe arrived in front of the main entrance of the clock tower; the iron-clad wooden door was tightly closed, seemingly locked from the inside.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe lit the corpse-oil lamp, carefully controlled the range of the light, and pulled Bai Zhi along to circle the outer wall of the clock tower, finally finding a gap they could enter through by relying on the light.

The light spilled onto the ground. Scattered by Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's feet were a few wet stone bricks. The orange light of the corpse-oil lamp cast a nearly three-meter-high hole on the outer wall of the clock tower. Judging by the fact that the stone bricks were scattered outside the room rather than inside, this large hole should have been smashed or burst open from the inside out.

Having had a previous lesson, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe gave the light very conservatively this time, carefully lifting a corner of the covering skin, wanting to raise the corpse-oil lamp a little higher to get closer to the hole and see the situation.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the hole and gripped his wrist.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was quick-witted; his other hand quickly pulled out the dagger hanging at his waist and raised it to stab, but his body was ultimately just that of a weak and thin girl, and she happened to be on her period. Before the dagger in Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's hand could stab out, it was gripped with overwhelming force by another hand reaching out from the hole. A tall, thin blonde young man walked out from inside and appeared before the two of them.

"Calm down, Cynthia, I know you're very scared, but you must be calm, you know? Only then is it possible for us to get out alive." The blonde young man pried open Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's fingers, took the dagger from his palm, and the corner of the covering skin that had been lifted on the corpse-oil lamp was also covered back.

"Cynthia...?" Bai Zhi stood behind Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, hesitating whether or not to smash the lamp in her hand onto the blonde young man's head. If she was any later, there might not be the effect of a sneak attack, but this person and Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's current identity seemed to know each other.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe had once doubted whether Taiyi's rules could take effect normally in this 'Vanessa Castle', and now his doubts had been answered:

—After the blonde young man mistook Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, who was wearing the body of a white girl, for the 'Cynthia' he knew, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe obtained the memories in Cynthia's mind related to the two of them.

The blonde young man's name was 'Spencer Nabar', a university student studying on the Apennine Peninsula.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's current body belonged to a girl named 'Cynthia', who was a classmate of the blonde young man Spencer. Bai Zhi's current image of a petite, blonde girl came from Spencer's younger sister, Katya Nabar.

The three of them, along with a group of university classmates, went out of the city to play and stayed at a beautiful rural farm. Several international students in the team were very interested in ancient European castles, so a classmate named 'Salazar' said that he happened to be a local and had known since childhood that there was a 'Vanessa Castle' in the nearby mountains. It was said that it was the private castle of an ancient duke.

After the establishment of the United European Republic, these historic ancient buildings either became cultural relic protection units or were bought by those wealthy and powerful big shots for private use, and Vanessa Castle was an exception.

Although the European government had sent engineering teams to repair the castle and had dedicated personnel to maintain it regularly every year, the castle itself had never been opened as a tourist attraction. Salazar, the classmate who was a local, had never heard the news of Vanessa Castle being bought by any big shot. Over time, the mysterious color shrouding Vanessa Castle became more intense.

So, early the next morning, the noisy group of university students, full of curiosity, packed their equipment and went into the mountains, and then, unsurprisingly, an accident happened. They got separated in the mountains.

The group, having lost their way, ran around in the mountains like headless flies. Perhaps it was a coincidence, perhaps they were influenced by some power in the dark, but under the shroud of thick fog, they all arrived at Vanessa Castle one after another.

"I was trying to cross to the other side via a fallen dead tree spanning a deep valley, but when I walked to the middle, the trunk suddenly snapped, and I fell down and lost consciousness." Spencer Nabar let go of Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's hand and said, "When I woke up, I was already in Vanessa Castle. I don't know how I got in, and I don't know how to get out, until I found this note in the interlayer of the bedside table..."

Spencer took a yellowed letter paper from his pocket and unfolded it in front of the two.

【Note found by Spencer】

【Greetings, latecomer.】

【When you see this note, I should have already died on the road to escaping from here.】

【Vanessa Castle is an evil land abandoned by the Lord, a fire prison imprisoning demons. For mortals who stray here, the only outcome is death.】

【But if you are truly under the Lord's favor, perhaps it is possible to find that secret basement in the deepest part of the castle, which is the only way to escape from here.】

【Go and search, take your lamp, and go find that only path to survival.】

【The light can illuminate the real world for you, but it will also attract the peeping of the devil.】

【Go and search, take your lamp, and at the same time be careful of other people's lamps.】

【Hell is other people.】

"Hell is other people." After reading the words on the letter paper, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe whispered and repeated this last sentence, lifting his eyes to look at the blonde young man in front of him.

Through the memories just obtained, this young man named Spencer Nabar had some feelings for the female classmate Cynthia. If he were willing to sell some sex appeal, perhaps he could manipulate this person to do some things for him.

After thinking for a moment, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe rejected this idea in his heart. He couldn't sell sex appeal; at most, he could act cute, act spoiled, and call him 'good brother' a couple of times.

Being ridden and bullied by Xia Yubing every night was already humiliating enough; Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe didn't want to be ridden by a man again.
