CHAPTER 310: CHAPTER 310: SEE THROUGH

The shadow fell into silence.

It was clear that the other party didn’t really want to answer the question, but faced with the winner of the game, it couldn’t just brush it off.

This game.

It very likely had a special significance behind it.

"What do you want to ask?

According to the game’s progress, you should be voting out a Werewolf during the day, finding the key at night, and finally arriving at this Gladiatorial Arena."

The hoarse voice of the Ancient Castle owner said, "But you disrupted the game. Although, actually, it’s not a disruption; it’s just that nothing like this has ever happened before.

Two Werewolves perished, and the progress of the game has been altered.

So I can only adjust it this way."

"Is that so? Then who is the little girl in the castle?" At this point, Baiyu asked.

The shadow fell silent again.

This sudden change made the whole game full of loopholes, which it couldn’t explain clearly no matter what.

"You can’t actually harm us, right?"

At this moment.

Baiyu stood in the middle of the Gladiatorial Arena, abruptly saying, "You said earlier in the arena that only one of the five of us could walk out alive.

Now.

Fulfill your game rule, she has already conceded.

Only one of us can walk out alive.

So.

Please kill her."

Baiyu pointed a finger at Duan Yiren.

The black clouds rolled in the night sky of the arena.

The atmosphere was deathly silent.

Duan Yiren stood still, not moving, even though this was the critical moment that would determine her fate.

The shadow was silent.

Baiyu maintained a smile on his face: "What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to act? She has already conceded, according to your rules, shouldn’t you execute her immediately?"

The shadow continued to remain silent.

"You don’t have the right to eliminate players, do you? Or you simply can’t use that kind of power. In this castle, at best, you’re just a maintainer. You are also constrained by the castle’s rules."

Baiyu looked up at the sky.

"What do you want to say?"

The hoarse voice of the Ancient Castle owner echoed.

Hearing this answer, Baiyu’s speculation was confirmed about seventy to eighty percent, and he said, "The castle’s rules can kill, but the rules you set up cannot.

So even if we don’t follow the rules you set up, there won’t be any problems.

The Werewolf game belongs to the castle’s game.

So those voted out during the day are immediately eliminated because it is the power of the castle.

But we all thought it was your power and that you could kill people at will.

But that’s not the case.

During the game, you forcibly stopped the game and transported all of us here, which is the limit of what you can do.

The flaws in this process are still very apparent.

Before, every time we were transported, my Spirit would just blur for a moment, and then I’d open my eyes and find myself in the castle.

But.

The last transportation took at least ten times longer than before.

The difference in technique and power level is not even on the same scale.

So.

If I’m not wrong, each of the previous transportations used the power of the castle’s rules. But this last time, you used some convenient feature on your own to bring us here.

And your goal.

Was just to interrupt the game’s progress.

Is it because some of our actions made you feel threatened?"

Beneath the cloak.

The black aura on the shadow roiled continuously, with a hoarse voice: "The last purple key is right in front of you. The game is over, and you can leave."

"What if I don’t want to go?" Baiyu said.

At this moment, the shadow couldn’t hold back any longer.

It had never met someone like this before.

Given the chance to leave, you don’t even leave.

"Hmph, suit yourself."

It snorted coldly, waved its cloak, and disappeared into the air.

After it completely left.

The stone hanging in Duan Yiren’s heart finally fell, her whole body collapsed weakly, and sweat unknowingly soaked her back.

This was like having walked once through the Ghost Gate.

Of course, up until now, she hadn’t thought about how Baiyu knew so much information or dared to truly confront the Ancient Castle owner directly.

After the shadow left.

The black light screen around slowly dissipated, and Baiyu walked out through the exit door of the Gladiatorial Arena.

Once out.

Below were long, wide stone steps.

The castle complex appeared before the eyes, and the location of the Gladiatorial Arena seemed to be at the southeast corner of the castle’s main hall, built on a slope, capturing the view of most of the castle.

So it was still inside the castle.

The Gladiatorial Arena was just one place within the castle.

Baiyu picked up the purple key from the center of the Gladiatorial Arena.

From this moment on.

He had collected all seven keys.

According to the game’s previous process.

After getting the seven keys, you would immediately return to the starting room and then open the door to leave.

But.

Now the game had been altered midway, and with the shadow gone.

Baiyu and Duan Yiren didn’t return to the hall again but stayed where they were, seemingly freed, able to move freely within the Ancient Castle.

He was not in a hurry to leave.

Instead, he walked out of the Gladiatorial Arena at his own pace.

"Where are we going now?" Duan Yiren asked.

"To find a way out. By the way, do you know how we return?" Baiyu asked curiously.

You could enter through the Spirit of the Shelter.

But what about returning?

This is a very serious question.

"Returning is also through the Spirit of the Shelter. They can find their owner at the weak point of the tide and safely transport back to the Shelter."

Duan Yiren looked at Baiyu’s expression and had a sinking feeling, asking tentatively, "You, can’t?"

Baiyu shook his head.

They both stood awkwardly in place.

"Never mind, we’ll take it one step at a time. That shadow is not the real master of this castle; the other party is clearly also restricted by the castle.

If we really followed its method, we’d probably all end up dead."

Baiyu walked up the steps.

He had a vague idea in his mind.

Perhaps.

The secret of this castle was closely related to that ghostly girl’s shadow.

...

The castle was very large.

But due to the high terrain of the Gladiatorial Arena, during his earlier bird’s eye view, Baiyu remembered about seventy to eighty percent of the castle’s layout.

It wasn’t difficult to find the outdoor structures.

His first target was the garden.

Inside was the ghostly girl that he had not yet investigated. At this moment, he couldn’t be bothered with the danger; it was clear that the shadow intended to kill him.

But within the rules, it was difficult for the other side to harm him.

The rules of the Ancient Castle.

Did not only target these outsiders participating in the game but also restrained that shadow. In some ways, the restraint on it was even heavier.

Very quickly.

Baiyu moved through the castle, passing many of those Armor men, in groups, like the castle’s patrollers.

Apart from that.

There were also some oddly shaped toy soldiers.

Baiyu wisely avoided disturbing these things and took a detour to the garden where he had previously killed Mo Yue.

The shadow of the little girl was still by the edge of the fountain pool, unchanged.
