The End (Part 2)

Liu Xing had always believed he was a mature woman complex type, that black silk stockings and pale legs were the ultimate. But today, Liu Xing felt like he had awakened some incredible new attribute—a Lolita Complex!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but glance at Isabella again, then began to try and convince himself that he wasn't a lolita complex type, it was just that Isabella was too beautiful... Uh, why did he feel even more like a beast now...

Liu Xing shook his head fiercely, casting aside those messy thoughts. He then said to Isabella, "Miss Isabella, I'll go down and inform my friends now, and then we can leave together."

Isabella smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I'll wait for Mr. Liu Xing here. However, I hope Mr. Liu Xing can do me another favor. There's a photo of me in the first-floor hall. I hope Mr. Liu Xing can bring it to me when you return."

"No problem, I'll definitely do it," Liu Xing nodded with a smile, then got up and left Isabella's room.

Although Liu Xing didn't know where Gary had gone, Liu Xing understood now that they had to race against time to successfully escape Ains Castle, escape Ains Town, and finally complete the mission!

Therefore, Liu Xing didn't even bother with the stairs and jumped directly from the second floor to the first. Because of the sound of Liu Xing's landing, Bai He Cheng and the others "naturally" walked out of their rooms and gathered around with concerned expressions.

"Everyone, Mr. Gary seems to have discovered that we took his parchment. Mr. Gary is very angry right now. He even pointed a gun at my head just now. I don't know where Mr. Gary went now, but I still think we need to find a way to leave this castle, lest we be killed by an enraged Mr. Gary." Liu Xing did his best to play his role.

Wang Qi immediately nodded and said, "Yes, since Mr. Gary resorted to a gun, it means he's really angry. If he finds out we took the parchment, he might really kill us. So, let's use the Thirty-Six Stratagems and retreat as the best plan. After all, in this remote place, even if we die, it will probably just be treated as a missing person case. I'll go open the castle gate first. If I remember correctly, the garage is next to the Main Building. Chen Ling, go look and see if you can find a suitable car."

After hearing Wang Qi's words, Chen Ling immediately nodded and left the room with Wang Qi, one going to the castle gate to open it, and the other going to the garage to find a car.

Wang Si Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'll go help Chen Ling now. After all, there are five of us, and the vintage cars in the castle seem to be two-seaters. We might need to drive two cars then."

"Yes, I need to go up to the second floor to get Miss Isabella now. She has agreed to leave the castle with us. After all, Mr. Gary has already blamed Isabella for the mistake we made, so we can't just abandon her." Liu Xing nodded and turned to Bai He Cheng, saying, "Bai He Cheng, wait for me in the room for a while. After I get Isabella, I'll take you to the garage. By the way, how is your condition now?"

The numbness in my body has disappeared, but my eyes aren't completely healed yet. However, I can see things barely now.

"Alright then, Bai He Cheng, don't run around, don't court death again. I'll be right back." Liu Xing glanced at Bai He Cheng with some unease, then left the room with Wang Si Yi and went to the living room.

"Come on, you can make a Perception check now," kp004 said somewhat boredly after Wang Si Yi left.

Perception, 23/60, Success.

The moment the Perception check succeeded, Liu Xing felt a flash of light in the southwest corner of the living room. Liu Xing immediately walked over and saw a photo frame placed upside down on a small table.

Liu Xing picked up the photo frame. Inside was indeed Isabella's photo. At this moment, kp004's voice sounded again, "Liu Xing, you can choose to make an Insight check now."

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow. If kp004 had asked him to make any other check, Liu Xing would have undoubtedly chosen to do it without hesitation. But this time, it was an Insight check.

However, Liu Xing looked at the photo and found nothing unusual, so he decided to make an Insight check.

Insight, 42/90, Success.

"So, you feel that this photo frame is heavier than you expected," kp004 said with a sinister smile. "You can choose to open this photo frame now, but I must remind you, once this photo frame is opened, it cannot be restored to its original state."

A trap! This was indeed a trap!

Liu Xing finally understood that he had fallen into kp004's Series of Stratagems, and this was ultimately a Mind Game, making Liu Xing start to struggle with whether he should open the photo frame. It was obvious that something was hidden inside this photo frame.

However, since the photo frame could not be restored once opened, it meant that he might lose Isabella's trust. This was not something Liu Xing wanted to see. Of course, Liu Xing was afraid that after losing his trust, Isabella would report him to Gary, making it difficult for him to leave Ains Castle.

So, Liu Xing decided to return the photo frame intact and went to the second floor to hand it over to Isabella.

Isabella took the photo frame with a look of joy, then opened it in front of Liu Xing and took out a necklace from it.

It was obvious that Isabella had asked him to bring the photo frame up just for this necklace.

Isabella put on the necklace and said to Liu Xing with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Liu Xing. This is a necklace my mother left me, so I had to take it with me."

Although Liu Xing was a little confused why Isabella didn't get the necklace herself, seeing Isabella's smiling face, Liu Xing couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore.

"Miss Isabella, let's go then. My friends have already started their move." Liu Xing heard the roar of engines from the direction of the Castle Gate and knew that Wang Qi had activated the Electric Door Opener.

Isabella nodded and followed Liu Xing to the first floor.

Liu Xing didn't expect Bai He Cheng to already be sitting in the living room.

"Bai He Cheng, why aren't you waiting in your room for me?" Liu Xing frowned, saying with some displeasure.

"Heh heh, I heard Wang Qi had already opened the door, and I've also recovered some mobility, so I decided to come to the living room to wait for you first. This way, we can save some time." Bai He Cheng smiled and stood up.

Liu Xing shook his head helplessly. Time was urgent now, and it wasn't the time to bicker with Bai He Cheng, so Liu Xing didn't say anything more and directly led Bai He Cheng and Isabella to the Garage outside the Main Building.

PS: Three updates tomorrow.
