"A lot has changed."
"Yes, the blood sacrifice is about the accumulation of quantitative changes into qualitative changes. According to the plot, this spine has sucked the blood of guests for hundreds of years and has almost reached qualitative changes. As long as those male servants are digested, the blood sacrifice will be completed." Sisir said carelessly. Hanging sideways on Yun Chuan, he reached out and patted the thick blood vessels floating beside the two of them.
"Boss, stretch out your hand." He circled the ugly head with suction cups in its veins and several rings of sharp teeth.
"I refuse." Yun Chuan took a step back indifferently. He would never touch this ugly thing.
"Don't be like this, my boss. Look, the blood lines on your body are about to explode. I'm afraid that when I control them both, I will control you too. And this thing is not good for your health." Thistle looked helpless. He poked at the bulging blood vessels on Yun Chuan's body.
"Liu Ruoyu is here." Yunchuan changed the topic directly.
"Oh, I saw it, it's time for my plot soon." Thistle smacked his lips and pushed away the blood vessels that wanted to come and stick them. He waved and called the two maids.
"Also, I need to aggrieve you for the following plot~" He gave a mean smile and looked at Yunchuan's body with evil intentions.
Anyway, this body was made by the boss, so it doesn’t matter even if it’s damaged.
*
"Ugh..." Liu Ruoyu was suppressed and dragged into this space by the maid. Her pupils shrank in shock as she looked at this bizarre and strange scene.
"It's not a sacrifice, you can't eat it." The maid explained stiffly to the blood vessel that came over.
She dragged Liu Ruoyu through the dense blood vessels and came to the huge spine.
"Nightingale." The maid turned her gray eyes stiffly, searching around.
"I'm here, thank you for your hard work." The Duke still wore a friendly smile and walked out from behind his spine gracefully.
"Good day, my dear guest." He leaned down and looked level with Liu Ruoyu.
"..." If he hadn't been gagged, Liu Ruoyu swore that she would have cursed and then jumped up and bit off his nose.
Damn it...that maid tied something on her hands, so she can't use any powers now.
"Why are you so angry? As her container, you should feel a great honor." The blond Duke stretched out his hand, and the thick and ugly blood vessels touched the back of his hand intimately.
"Go ahead, my dear. We have waited too long for this moment."
"Ugh..." Liu Ruoyu opened her eyes wide in horror and struggled hard, but she couldn't break free from the maid's hand that was like a tong on her body.
She could only watch helplessly as several pulsating blood vessels stretched out towards her like swimming fish, curled up her limbs, and pulled her high into the sky.
Creak…Creak…
The huge spine began to tremble, and each vertebra began to shift.
A thin crack appeared on the snow-white bones, growing bigger and bigger, and finally formed a snow-white bone nest that could accommodate a person's size.
Liu Ruoyu was tied up and placed in the bone socket.
"Very good, very good." The smile on the Duke's face grew wider and wider. He rubbed his fingers with some excitement and put his hand in his pocket.
"..." Thisl's somewhat crazy expression suddenly paused.
‘Boss, where’s your hair? ’ He stammered and sent a message to Yun Chuan.
‘?’ Yunchuan, who was lying in the blind spot of the player’s vision to observe them, used his mental power to draw a question mark in Sisir’s mind.
‘I was touched by Mu Chen just now, didn’t you feel it? ’
‘Holy shit, boss, why didn’t you tell me when you saw it! ’
‘Are you a pig? ’ Yunchuan sent him a voice message in disbelief, ‘You didn’t notice such a big move, I thought you were following the plot. ’
In mid-air, the vertebrae of the spine rotated uneasily while waiting for the Duke's instructions.
"Ahem." Thistle coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
‘Here’s a hint, the players are behind the bunker on your rear left, and the little nightingales are beside them. ’ Yunchuan rolled his eyes, how did this guy become the boss?
‘Okay, thank you. ’
"There are some little mice who have been hiding here for a long time, why don't you come out and ask?" The Duke said respectfully, holding his hands behind his back, and his voice, which was not too loud or too quiet, was just enough to reach the ears of the players.
Discovered…
'How about...' Mu Chen winked at the pale glasses on the side.
‘Can hold up. ’ He stood up with his glasses on his forehead.
The two stood up from behind cover.
"Would you like to say hello to your good companion? But you don't seem to be united..." The Duke glanced at Liu Ruoyu who was imprisoned in the vertebrae with a smile.
"Uh..." A scream suddenly sounded, interrupting the Duke's words.
It was a male servant who was being sucked out of his veins. It seemed that the maid's hand slipped and allowed him to break free.
The manservant stared in horror with his bloodshot eyes, staggering and trying to escape, but his blood vessels were open so he could be let go.
Countless blood vessels that have not sucked flesh and blood are like a wild cat meeting a fat mouse. They are entangled and coming together like a scarlet tornado.
The manservant panicked and ran into the open space between the Duke and the player.
"Not good." The Duke pointed his finger, and twisting blood vessels immediately appeared on the manservant's body.
The manservant screamed and collapsed to the ground.
'He's threatening us. ’ Mu Chen watched helplessly as the manservant was penetrated by blood vessels in front of him, and the already old man was sucked dry in an instant.
A thin piece of human skin fell from the sky lightly.
"These tentacles contain a liquid that can melt bones without damaging the skin." The Duke actually explained kindly.
"What do you want to do?" Mu Chen could tell that he was stalling for time.
"Don't be so nervous, guest." The Duke waved his hand disapprovingly, "The ceremony hasn't started yet, we can spend a wonderful time."
"To be honest, I am very optimistic about you. Just now I wanted you to have the honor of being the carrier of the soul, but... I changed my mind."
"I'm tired. I originally wanted to find a body for Morton's soul to better revenge him, but I suddenly felt that this was a bit boring. Why must I reward him with a body?" The smile in the Duke's eyes became more and more intense. Come deeper and deeper.
"So, I feel that only one body is left behind."
"Ha... But it's too early to say this now. Do we want to play a game?"
The Duke clapped his hands.
A figure wrapped in several blood vessels descended slowly.
Yunchuan…
The black-haired young man lowered his head and was bound by a blood vessel as thick as his wrist. The ferocious blood vessels on his body had faded away, and a few drops of fresh blood were splashed on his pale side face, which actually looked a bit gorgeous.
"How about I exchange the life of your companion for the nightingale in your hand?" The Duke's eyes fell on the nightingale squatting on the player's collar.
"No..." Mu Chen opened his mouth to refuse.
"Sir, think clearly. Once you refuse, your dear companion will be sucked into a piece of human skin."
"I don't..." Mu Chen refused without thinking.
‘If you dare to risk my life directly, I will kill you now. ’
"I don't believe you. If you take Nightingale, you will definitely kill him." Mu Chen abruptly changed his mind.
"Can't change..." He gritted his teeth through his glasses and cut his finger again. He used the strength he finally recovered to summon the card. The light gray card flashed in the air, killing several sleeping nightingales. Breathe it in.
"He wants to introduce the soul in Liu Ruoyu's body into Liu Ruoyu's body. Once the maid comes back to life, we will definitely die!"
"Okay, okay, let's make an exchange." The Duke shook his head regretfully, "Then let's open this box." He took out the box that sealed Duke Morton's soul from nowhere.
"You can think you are willing, as long as you can cheat this box~"
"I can drive, but you have to put him down first." Mu Chen took a step forward.
"You will be possessed." Glasses wanted to hold him back.
"Happily, I like smart people." The Duke raised his eyebrows, and the blood vessels in the air reluctantly placed Yunchuan on the ground.
"You look like a clown like this. Who just made such a lie that the player can open the box without the player?" Yunchuan complained to him with his eyes closed.
‘…’
‘Please, I don’t want to either… This is not to delay time. How could I have expected that they would be able to enter the tunnel at this time? It’s not yet time to open it. And they have nightingales to guide them, these little little things that eat everything in and out. ’ Thistle replied pitifully.
‘Cooking is the original sin. ’
‘It’s heartbreaking, boss. ’
Of course Mu Chen didn't know that the two bosses, who looked serious on the surface, were quarreling with each other in private.
‘The painting was last completed on July 5, 1654, and 13 days later it was July 18, 1654. The password is 1654718, but there are only six digits on it...' Mu Chen frowned and put his finger on the box.
No... This manor is a Gothic-style building. The Duke once said that this manor was built when the Gothic style was just becoming popular.
He remembers that France was where Gothic-style architecture first emerged.
Although the time does not match up...but the time arrangement in France is day, month and year
Then the password sequence should be 1871654. "..." Wait... He seemed to be remembering a joke he had read on his cell phone before his death. The h in French was silent.
Could it be that one of these numbers has an h...
"Do you understand French?" Mu Chen took a step back and asked the glasses in a low voice.
"Not at all." There was a trace of confusion on the glasses face.
Great...here comes the question. Which number is not needed?
‘[y:t], eight in French, is spelled huit. ’ Yunchuan had no choice but to remind him. ‘Ning Ning can speak French, but it’s a pity that she died abnormally. ’
171654
After entering this string of numbers, the lock on the box began to rattle.
With a bang, the box popped open, revealing an exquisite diamond bird.
"That's great, guest, you saved me a lot of energy." The Duke clapped his hands in surprise.
The black-haired young man who was trapped in mid-air fell from a high altitude.
Mu Chen quickly ran over and caught Yunchuan.
‘Well done, you put everything I taught you to use. ’ Yun Chuan lay in his arms with his eyes closed and praised lazily.
The Duke happily took out the diamond bird and gently turned the clockwork.
The sweet chirping of birds came from it.
"It's been a long time since we heard the sound of nature, don't you think so? Duke Morton." The Duke smiled and looked at Mu Chen who was standing aside with Yun Chuan in his arms.
For a while...nothing happened.
Why are you still naked...How can he delay the plot if Morton doesn't come...
"Perhaps he has died long ago, Nightingale. What traps you is not anyone, but your greed!" Mu Chen said coldly.
He controlled the fog that was diluted to the extreme to cover every inch of the land.
There are dark souls hidden in the bodies of the maids.
A little sour...but delicious...delicious and addictive...but even sweeter than the giant ball of warm orange energy at the center of the estate.
‘The right amount. ’ Yun Chuan reminded lightly. ‘Eating too much can lead to indigestion. ’
"Nightingale, you know. There are countless ways for you to leave the manor, but you don't. You keep saying that the soul in this box is the shackles that bind you, but you see, there is no soul at all in this box, only A machine that once replaced you. And those maids are not souls who came to help you at all." Mu Chen waved his hand, and the maid who had been devoured fell to the ground.
"Look, you are wavering... When you face the truth head-on, the lies will collapse on their own. You..." Mu Chen spat out at him.
"...Have you forgotten your painting? Breakfreeandembracefreedom. Break free and embrace freedom. This cage is yourself!"
"..." The Duke seemed to be staring at him coldly with cold eyes.
‘What he said seems to make sense. Did I miss the character design? ’ But in fact, Sisir was stunned for a moment.
‘What about you, Tiger, Pig? He always deceives people. ’ Yun Chuan opened his eyes and accurately caught the trace of confusion flashing in Sisir’s eyes.
‘If you procrastinate, others will procrastinate. ’
... stalling for time.
"Damn it." Without caring about maintaining his character, Sisl blurted out a curse word.
Sure enough, the place where the glasses originally stood was empty.
"Quick! Burn all the blood vessels!" The glasses climbed hard on the vertebrae, pulling Liu Ruoyu upwards.
"Something is tied up my hands, so I can't use my powers!" Liu Ruoyu struggled to sit up and showed her back to the glasses.
What tied Liu Ruoyu's wrist was a squirming pure black blood vessel.
It's blood vessels again... I close my glasses and my heart opens. Anyway, I have so many blood vessels in my body.
He stretched out his hand to grab the blood vessel and pulled it out hard, forcefully pulling out the blood vessel that penetrated Liu Ruoyu's wrist.
"Uh..." The glasses suddenly let out a muffled groan, and the ferocious blood vessels on his body suddenly became active, sucking away his remaining strength.
"Ha..." As soon as the blood vessels were pulled away, Liu Ruoyu felt a wave of energy wash through her body, which was stronger than before.
"Go!" She raised her hand, and blazing fire instantly filled the entire space, scorching the blood vessels that were attacking them.
'I seem to be about to advance...' A thought suddenly came to Liu Ruoyu's mind.
The flame in her hand gradually transitioned from red to blue, and the temperature around her body suddenly increased.
"Wait a minute...it's too hot!" The glasses painfully grabbed the corners of Liu Ruoyu's clothes, and the Duke below controlled the blood vessels in his body, making him worse than death.
"Don't move." Liu Ruoyu slapped him on the forehead, and the tongue of fire broke into his body with overwhelming force, burning all the way.
crackling
The blood vessels on the glasses twisted and screamed, and finally turned into blackened and shriveled fragments and fell off the skin.
"Your plan has been ruined!" Mu Chen pinched Nightingale and swallowed the soul of the maid contained in it. He knelt on the ground and hugged Yun Chuan with one hand. The twisting blood vessels in his body made his eyes black with pain.
But compared with the pain in my heart, these small pains are not worth mentioning.
Screw the indigestion.
He took a breath and controlled the black mist to rush towards the delicious mass of energy.
Tear, devour
Like a giant puff of delicious toasted marshmallows.
As for why it was roasted, it was because Liu Ruoyu emptied the power in her body at the same time, and blue flames covered her spine.
The huge spine, tens of meters high without energy support, instantly became charred.
Pieces of carbonized bones fell to the ground and turned into handfuls of black powder.
"No...no no no..." The Duke shook his head in disbelief, "Lise...Lise..."
He snatched the soulless Nightingale and rushed into the depths of the sea of fire.

"It's... it's..." Liu Ruoyu dragged her glasses out of the fire with her charred glasses.
"Oh my god, I thought I was going to die...ah..." He lay on the ground, closing his eyes and breathing heavily.
"I advanced!" Liu Ruoyu happily looked at the blue flames floating in his hands.
"What? Why!" Glasses sat up and summoned his card.
"Why didn't I... I also advanced!" He was pleasantly surprised to find that his originally pure black card had a gorgeous pattern on it.
"Then you should have advanced too. Once you become a B-level player, you can develop special abilities." Liu Ruoyu squatted in front of Mu Chen and looked at him curiously.
"I don't feel anything." Of course it was impossible for Mu Chen to say that he already had supernatural powers.
"It's okay, okay. You never know when your superpower will appear after you advance." Liu Ruoyu was very happy.
"Hey, add a friend?" Yan Yan pushed up his melted glasses and stretched out his wrist.
"Of course." Several people touched their arms.
"Well...he should wake up after he releases the dungeon. Don't forget to add a friend when he wakes up." Glasses smiled and nodded at Yunchuan, who had his eyes closed.
"Definitely." Mu Chen nodded.
"Ah, the door is here. I'll leave first, the guild is still waiting for me to report that I'm safe." Liu Ruoyu stood up and walked towards the pure white light door that suddenly appeared on the ground.
"Ah...I'm leaving too. I want to go out and take a shower." Glasses rubbed his sore shoulders and walked towards the light door.
The two players who had been promoted to A level disappeared into the light gate.
……
Then I’ll go too?
Mu Chen hesitantly picked up Yunchuan, who was still pretending to be dead, and walked towards the Guangmen. He had to tell Ning Yu that he was safe first. He didn't know if the little boy had returned safely.
"Let you go?" the black-haired young man with his eyes closed suddenly started.
Yun Chuan opened his eyes, and a pair of brilliant golden eyes reflected the man's dull expression for a moment.
"Ahem..." So beautiful... Mu Chen almost let go.
"Call it off! Get off work! Get off work!" Sisile, who was burnt black and had a nest of little nightingales on his head, jumped out of the fire with big white teeth.
"Let you go too?" Yun Chuan glared at him sideways.
"I'm sorry, boss, I didn't mean anything." Thistle knelt down immediately.
"Okay." Yun Chuan jumped out of Mu Chen's arms and caught the little nightingale rushing towards him.
"Then...work overtime."
"No!!! Boss!!! You can't do this to me!!!" In the tragic cry of Sisir, Yunchuan directly eliminated the pure white light door.
With such a big mess, no one can just pat their butts and leave, leaving me to stay and work overtime!
