A Sudden Turn of Events, Wang Quan
Humans are social animals, and when there are a large number of people, the Strength of the group can mitigate some of the fear.
However, with all his Teammate gone and only himself left walking down the corridor in a rather comical "Little Black Man" outfit, Fireworks of Romance evoked a sense of the wind blows bleakly as the Yi River runs cold.
Even though her [Criminal Suspect Outfit] was enough to ensure her safety, Fireworks of Romance's heart was still filled with a look of wanting to cry but having no tears.
On the interface visible only to her, the prestige she had painstakingly Storage for ten people was plummeting at a terrifying speed.
After all, with her current "Little Black Man" outfit, forget about being dignified, she's more like a goofball... and what she's Storage isn't just a few servings of goofballs.
According to her estimate, by nightfall, at least half of her last ten portions of the prestigious food would be lost...
Right now, she's heartbroken beyond words.
However, to be fair, although she was full of disdain for this [Criminal Suspect Outfit], the outfit's power was undeniable.
As long as there aren't any elementary school students wearing Glasses around, once you put on this outfit Metamorphosis a "Little Black Man," no one will notice you anymore, unless you deliberately do something quite conspicuous and revealing... like Steel Bones.
In this castle, which was basically made up of Maid, she could move around without any hindrance. So, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, she ran to the kitchen and casually stole a large pile of silver cutlery, barely replenishing her inventory, thus becoming a real suspect...
Although her Skill is still sealed, refilling ammunition is not a problem.
After contentedly taking a large pile of silver, cutlery, and bowls to make up for his losses, the suspect leisurely left the kitchen and bathroom area, leaving behind a group of screaming Maid who were shouting that there was a ghost.
After that, she wandered aimlessly around the castle. After all, being able to walk openly among a bunch of Monster was quite a rare experience... so she took several selfies.
... Although the Little Black Man's outfit was not photogenic at all.
As she wandered aimlessly through the castle, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from inside a room as she turned a corner.
When she peeked through the crack in the door with a hint of curiosity, she was shocked to see a figure that shouldn't have been there.
"Your intelligence was flawed. That guy is too strong. How do you explain that?"
Still dressed in magnificent robes, the middle-aged man who had previously vanished without Corpse Bone had rapidly recovered and was now coldly questioning a Young Man in front of him.
"Well~ I think I already warned you before. Among everyone, she has the highest combat power. You guys underestimated her too much, taking it for granted that you can't die. What does that have to do with me?"
Sitting at the table, a Young Man with uniquely Slitted Eyes smiled and spoke. In the impression of Fireworks of Romance, the other party always seemed to have this kind of faint smile on his face.
He rubbed something that looked like sole lens in his hand, and March-shi's voice was flat.
"I came to cooperate with you with great sincerity, but the problem only arose on your side. However, haven't you also gained a lot?"
"... You know what our goal really is."
After staring at the smiling Young Man for a while, the middle-aged man spoke coldly.
"With a powerful rat infiltrating my castle, the important ceremony tonight could be disrupted at any moment, which is absolutely unacceptable to me. Also, you broke our contract; you were the one who rescued Catherine, weren't you?"
"So dealing with you guys is really troublesome. It was just... never mind."
He seemed to let out a faint sigh, March-shi with a wave of his hand, he tossed two unconscious figures out from who-knows-where.
"How about this, I'll give them to you as an apology?"
The Fengxi’s Bone, Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas...!?
Looking at the two figures on the ground, the shock in the heart of the Fireworks of Romance standing at the entrance was indescribable.
"It's a pity that the others were too wary, otherwise this trouble wouldn't have happened... So, how about it? My personal sincerity is quite sufficient, isn't it?"
Seemingly regretful, March-shi shook her head and looked at the other person.
Are you satisfied with this gift?
Are you sure you want to hand them over to me?
Turning his gaze to the two figures on the ground, the middle-aged man clearly seemed somewhat tempted.
"Certainly."
The March-shi smiled and nodded.
"However, you two had better be careful, because unlike me, they aren't carriers of a potential Curse..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, an extremely powerful Strength suddenly descended upon him.
With a muffled thud, the table in front of March-shi shattered under the immense pressure, and the chair beneath him crumbled into dust in an instant.
In an instant, even Fireworks of Romance, who was anxiously waiting at the door, felt her body become ten times heavier, as if a mountain was pressing down on her, causing her to unconsciously bend over.
"Oh? It seems you've been fully conscious the whole time..."
Even the middle-aged man unconsciously sat down on the ground, while the March-shi, located at the very center of this gravity field, slowly stood up. Looking at the Fengxi’s Bone, who had somehow gotten up on the ground, his face still held that faint smile.
"Judging from your expression, was all that acting before just an act?"
"..."
With a cold expression, Fengxi’s Bone sat on the ground without saying a word, but slowly clenched his outstretched hand into a fist.
With a series of teeth-grinding, creaking sounds, the March-shi's body was gradually suppressed, its entire body cracking like porcelain, and blood slowly flowing out of its body like a stream.
Because the scene in the room happened so quickly, Fireworks of Romance entire incident took only a few seconds, she couldn't react at all. By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late.
Gritting her teeth, disregarding whether she was exposed or not, and bearing the pressure on her, she kicked the door open and anxiously shouted at Fengxi’s Bone inside.
"Get out of here immediately! The Dungeon Boss here has the ability to seal our Skill!!!"
