Chapter 95

  "Can we use teleportation? I always feel that this forest is full of too many dangers, perhaps those people didn't disappear after arriving at the castle, but rather never arrived at the castle and disappeared in this dense forest!"

  I've really wasted too many brain cells lately! The people around me can't tell what's true or false, and the unease in my heart is gradually growing.

  "I'll give it a try."

  Hala So said softly and closed his eyes. At this time, we can't consider whether to save physical strength or not. What we need to consider is whether we can safely reach the ancient castle!

  Slowly, I felt myself rising up, and the surroundings suddenly became blurred. In just an instant, a huge ancient castle appeared before our eyes. Haraso suddenly knelt down halfway, panting heavily.

  "Hey, you okay?"

  I looked at Haruto with concern, it seemed that his physical strength had not fully recovered recently, and this time using teleportation was also very strenuous.

  "Don't worry, I'm fine, let's go, be careful what we might encounter inside"

  As we approached the ancient castle gate, it surprisingly opened automatically for us. Looking at the dark and deep entrance, the ancient castle was like a huge mouth with its jaws wide open, waiting for us to enter.

  As I stepped through the gate, it slowly closed behind me. I couldn't help but laugh at myself - it seemed that this time, unless one of us was left dead, there would be no chance of leaving.

  We had been walking around the castle for a while, and it was almost midnight, but what surprised us was that nothing happened. I even began to suspect that the castle mentioned by Ye was not here after all! After all, except for encountering illusions in the forest, nothing else had happened.

  The castle is divided into three layers, although it looks very high from the outside, but in fact there are only three layers, which is the most strange place for me.

  "You say, inside this castle, why does it look like it can't even reach the height of the outside?"

  I looked at Haraso who was deep in thought with his head down and asked doubtfully.

  "Idiot, of course it's because there is a secret passage! Can't you see I'm looking for the entrance to the secret passage?"

  Hala shouted at me in a rage. I shrank my neck and hummed, always scolding me for being stupid, but I was the first one to walk out of the illusion! If it wasn't for me saving him, he might have been frozen to death by the icy creek water long ago!

  Watching Haraso knock on the east and west, I couldn't help but imitate his appearance, starting to find the "interlayer" that might exist in the castle.

  But no matter how long I searched, I couldn't find the so-called secret passage. Whether it was the floor or the walls, they all sounded solid. In frustration, I sat on the ground, dejectedly staring at Haraso and Kama.

  "What's going on? I really suspect we've come to the wrong place."

  With a depressed sigh, I stared blankly at the spotless floor in a daze.

  "If we really came to the wrong place, why is it so clean here? It must have been swept by someone and my intuition tells me that we just haven't found where the mechanism is located."

  Hala also sat down on the ground and said firmly.

  "But we've searched every nook and cranny of this huge castle, and after all this time, if there really is a mechanism, it can only be in the ceiling."

  "Xue Er, what did you just say?!"

  Hala Su suddenly rushed forward, his ten fingers tightly grasping my shoulders. I stared at Hala Su in confusion, what did I just say? It seemed like I said that if there really was a mechanism, it could only be on the ceiling! Ah, the ceiling! Why didn't we think of this earlier?! No one said mechanisms can only be underground or in walls!

  I saw Kamui and Haruto exchange a glance.

  "Perhaps for other humans, starting a machine that goes up to the ceiling is an impossible thing but we forgot, she's an evil spirit, an evil spirit that can fly!"

  "Xue Er, try contacting Ye again and tell him we've arrived!"

  Hala shouted excitedly at me. I hung my head in depression, actually, I had been thinking of a way to contact Ye and tell him we were coming today, but strangely, the paper crane hadn't returned yet. Normally speaking, except for the director and those who were informed, ordinary people couldn't see the paper crane, even if they saw it, they wouldn't be able to harm it in the slightest, nor could they understand the information it was supposed to convey. That's why the paper crane is such a hot commodity!

  But it's been so long and the paper crane still hasn't come back, I'm really worried.

  "What's wrong, Xue Er?"
