Chapter 207: Magic Continent The Mysterious Castle
“Alright, let’s give it our all!”
Sang Chu listlessly accelerated the growth of roses. If she hadn’t only had a superficial understanding of formations, she would have directly used Spirit Stone Jade to set up a formation and accelerate their growth!
What a pity, she could only do it manually now.
Castle, Second Floor
Xiao Yi Fei lay on the bed, looking at Sang Jing Wen, who was nervously standing by the window, and said, “Don’t worry, Sister is fine.”
“But that flower room is too big!”
The window offered a view of the flower room downstairs. Sang Chu’s flower room was several times larger than the other flower rooms, which was truly unreasonably large.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Fei did a somersault and got out of bed, rushing to the window to look.
“Whoa, it really is! This, this isn’t the entire flower room given to Sister, is it!”
“I suspect it is.”
Xiao Yi Fei couldn’t sit still now. “I thought it wasn’t that big. How can a normal flower room be so large? What do we do now? Go help?”
Seeing Sang Jing Wen didn’t reply, Xiao Yi Fei quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the door. “What are you still dallying for? Even though we’re not Wood Element Supernatural Ability Users, we should still be able to help out a bit!”
Sang Jing Wen remained silent, his gaze fixed on the door. He had a feeling they wouldn’t be able to leave so easily.
As expected, the moment Xiao Yi Fei opened the door, they found themselves facing their own room directly opposite!
“Wh-what’s going on!”
Xiao Yi Fei refused to believe it and pulled Sang Jing Wen over. The next second, they were back in the room. After trying this back and forth several times, Sang Jing Wen grabbed his arm. “No need to try anymore, it’s useless, we can’t get out.”
“Then, then what do we do? Just wait here!”
Sang Jing Wen was silent for a moment, then spoke towards the door. “Master, although I am not a Wood Element Supernatural Ability User, my Mental Power cultivation is quite good. I wonder if you could do me a favor and allow me to go help my sister accelerate the growth of the roses.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene outside the door changed, becoming a normal corridor, and Roger’s figure instantly appeared outside the door.
“Guests, please do not worry. Although Sang Chu’s flower room appears large, the things she needs to accelerate growth are within her capabilities and can be completed before the train arrives. For your safety, please do not leave your rooms before the train arrives. Do not open the door if you hear knocking at night. Within the castle, you will not feel hunger, so please endure for a few days and eat after you leave. Please inform others of this information, as I will not repeat myself.”
Roger disappeared, and the scene outside the door once again resembled the bedroom. Xiao Yi Fei shivered all over and, frightened, quickly closed the door.
“He, he, he’s not, human, is he!”
Sang Jing Wen: “Mm, probably not. However, judging by his words, it seems he won’t stop Sang Sang from boarding the train. I feel like his tone of voice has changed?”
This was what made him most puzzled. Previously, he hadn’t warned them not to open the door if they heard knocking at night, but now he was?
Hearing Sang Jing Wen, Xiao Yi Fei nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes, he sounds much kinder. Although he seemed gentle and refined before, it felt like politeness with a mask. But just now, he seemed genuinely friendly to us.”
“A Yi, send a message to Min Feng about this. I’ll contact Sang Sang and have her tell Xue You and Xi Rui, to avoid any mishaps tonight.”
“Okay, I’ll do it right away.”
Sang Jing Wen was constantly worried about problems. He quickly sent a message to Sang Chu. Upon seeing the message, Sang Chu was stunned. “What does my brother mean by this?”
Tu You also saw the message from Sang Jing Wen. “I don’t know. Could this castle have some other strange aspects?”
Tu You flew to the glass of the flower room and looked outside. “I don’t see anything unusual?”
Sang Chu stopped what she was doing and walked over to Tu You. Suddenly, she remembered a detail. “Rabbit, do you remember the servants who suddenly appeared in the castle?”
“You mean that Ghost Servant? But it’s normal to have Ghost Servants in a Magic World, isn’t it? You bought a few yourself, didn’t you?”
Sang Chu shook her head. “I thought it was normal at first, but you said Rose isn’t human, yet she’s the owner of this castle. And her relationship with Roger is clearly extraordinary. So, the fiancée Roger is looking for is likely Rose, and Rose’s disappearance might be more than just a disappearance; it could be death. Tell me, who is most likely to have made a move when the mistress disappeared before the wedding?”
Tu You’s eyes widened in shock. “Someone close to her!”
“Exactly. If it’s someone close, if it were me, the first person I’d suspect would be Roger. But you said he went bankrupt looking for his fiancée, even dealing with a swindler like Qin Si Mian, so he wouldn’t be the murderer. If it’s not him, then the murderer must be one of the people in this castle!”
Hearing this, Tu You looked at Sang Chu with goosebumps. “No way, aren’t you overthinking it!”
“I wish I were overthinking it. If it’s as I suspect, then this entire castle is likely a large hunting ground. After Rose disappeared and he couldn’t find her, and couldn’t find the murderer, Roger must have decided to err on the side of caution and eliminate everyone rather than let the guilty go free.”
The more Sang Chu thought about it, the paler her face became. “My brother and the others are in danger!”
She turned to leave, but saw Roger approaching her. “You are very intelligent. If it were you, perhaps you could help me find Rose faster, so she wouldn’t have to stay underground for so long.”
Looking at Roger’s exquisitely carved face, Sang Chu felt a chill run down her spine. She cautiously took a step back. “Miss Rose has already come out. Congratulations to you two lovers for finally being together.”
Roger walked to the glass and looked at the roses outside. “You know.”
“Are you referring to Miss Rose’s identity? I’ve guessed some things. If there’s anything I can help with, please don’t hesitate to say so.”
Roger: “I can cancel your condition and let you board the train safely, but I need you to buy something for me from Qin Si Mian, something that will allow Rose to live like a normal person.”
“That might be difficult. Miss Rose is not like an ordinary ghost.”
As she said this, Sang Chu felt fear. This was just her guess; she felt Rose wasn’t like a normal ghost, but more like an extremely weak earthbound spirit.
Roger: “Rose has been frail since childhood and carries a strange virus within her. Her entire body, from the inside out, is white, even her blood is white. Because of this, people nearby thought she was a monster, and she never dared to go out during the day for fear of scaring others. She could only sneak out to play under the cover of night.”
“And then?”
Roger seemed to recall something, a gentle smile on his face. “Rose is the most gentle and beautiful girl I’ve ever met. She yearns for the sun and longs to touch the warm sunshine. Therefore, I am willing to compromise for her. As long as you agree to help me find the medicine, I will let you go, and I can even help you summon the train in advance.”
