Spider Lady watched the scene, flexing her spider legs, which had gone numb from poking holes in the ceiling, and secretly nodded. It was a bit troublesome, but when she thought of the Killing Intent and Energy Cores Conan and the others had worked so hard to earn underground... A little effort was worth it. As a ghost, one had to take the long view.
Just as she was thinking that, something flickered in the corner of her eye, and she suddenly sensed someone passing outside.
Spider Lady silently withdrew behind the window. She blended herself into the white curtains, slowly poked out half her head, and checked the situation outside.
After Jiang Xia and the others entered the Secret Passage, Gin and Vodka had not followed them in.
The two Men in Black had made a round of the Old Castle and seemed to find nothing new, so they returned to their car. The only mountain road here not only made Poushi Qinglan feel uneasy; anyone who valued terrain similarly did not want to linger, and they were prepared to leave at any sign of trouble.
At this moment, Gin and Vodka had also spotted the unusual activity in the Castle from afar.
Yet neither of them seemed to care. They did not come to put out the fire, nor did they return to set it ablaze again after the flames died down.
Spider Lady observed them in secret for a moment and confirmed that her task was complete. Her body quickly scattered apart like scraps of paper. Countless butterfly-like Shikigami vanished into the air and returned to the Pattern Seal over Jiang Xia's heart, taking the Ghost Fetus with them.
Near the Castle, inside an inconspicuous Black Sedan.
Vodka watched the direction Poushi Qinglan had driven away
