If what Lei Jijian said is true, we may indeed have transformed into another form at this point.

After all, I can say with absolute certainty that the temperature on my legs no longer felt as hot as before; instead, it felt like a very comfortable, enveloping sensation, like being in a sauna.

It gave me the illusion that the burning sensation I felt earlier was something that had never happened before.

And what Lei Jijian said was indeed correct. All the strange images that appeared in our minds before, those times that didn't match up with the time, were all due to the influence of Boss He from the Riverside Hotel.

But now, there's absolutely nothing like white fog that could affect our perception.

All those scenes that just happened, those images that suddenly appeared before my eyes...

I didn't think about it any further.

The only thing I'm certain of is that this contract I'm bound to hasn't been terminated, nor could it be terminated in such a short time.

"Perhaps."

I confirmed the claim about the lightning sword.

However, I felt very uncomfortable inside.

If only it could really be resolved like this!

Even if I don't need the energy from this Dew Branch, I can still recover without seeking help from Blue Armor.

After all, while the current situation isn't going to kill us, it's certainly not giving us a chance to catch our breath!

I still remember that when the girl spoke to me just now, although she tried her best to hide her sadness, her expression and words could not conceal it.

I suspect she must have been thinking about what she had experienced at the manor.

Although the girl currently appears harmless, she is likely to be much older than my grandfather.

If that's the case, then she must have suffered a lot to get to her current position in the manor.

It must be very difficult for her.

I won't ask about the hardships involved.

I think even if I asked, the girl wouldn't tell me.

I didn't pursue the matter any further. Right now, regardless of what impact that mural had on me, I'm at least clear that it won't be appearing again anytime soon.

Moreover, even if something comes out that scares me, or rather, makes me feel uneasy, I should be able to handle it.

That is, a sudden, sharp turn of the face.

Since it can't cause me any real harm, I don't need to take it too seriously.

Although this is a piece of cake for me, the girl may have been affected by her previous experiences, which may have caused her psychological trauma.

So she might be quite sensitive about this aspect.

It's possible that she won't be affected by the previous form of the contract at all; in other words, that burning passion might be nothing more than a piece of cake for the girl.

After all, even I could barely resist that burning sensation, so I think the girl would have some extra techniques to combat it.

Thinking about it this way, this agreement doesn't seem so bad.

Or rather, this thing just isn't there yet...

But when I think about the expressions on the faces of the staff at the post office, I still feel a little flustered.

Especially recalling the disapproving looks from the staff at the time, it probably means that this is not something that can be cracked in a short period of time.

But at the time, she thought that the secret behind this treaty was not just the one that the living perish and the dead live.

Could it be that she saw at the time that this contract would make our legs burn and cause us to have some hallucinations or auditory hallucinations?

They simply didn't say it outright, or tell us the details!

If that's the case, then I really have to send my regards to that staff member's family.

My current guess is that we entered the Blue Armor's Compass Chamber and are now in this dark room, which is why the contract on our bodies has changed form.

Or perhaps we see a brand new garment, where everything is unchanged, even the hem is new.

It's possible that activating this garment is what triggers the contract conversion.

Only then will I see the slowly wriggling figures on the wall.

And then there are those ghosts that keep popping their faces out.

As I pondered, I glanced at the wall in front of me again.

What happened next was even more shocking.

Just now, the figures in the mural were still somewhat blurry, but now, the mural seems to have come to life again, and I noticed a faint line in the middle of the entire mural.

It's not very obvious; it looks like a dotted line.

I even think that this might be a hallucination of my eyes.

I asked Yiyi again, and she told me that she had seen the same scene.

This mural is still slowly changing...

I didn't care about anything else and tried to move my body, but I found that as long as we were in the sealed room, that pushing force never disappeared.

The next second, Lei Jijian spoke in my mind with some surprise.

"Master, something's wrong. It looks like the mural is about to open."

ah?

I was absolutely furious when I heard what Lei Jijian said.

Shocked, I shook my head, trying to shake off all the filth.

But this had absolutely no effect.

"Holy crap! Wasn't this the complete one just now...?"

It's slowly extending and moving, which is fine!

Do I have to open it again? Why are you opening it in such different ways?!

Isn't this a wall...?

Suddenly, a lot of questions popped into my head, and I couldn't help but voice them all.

Yi Yi blinked and stood there stunned, too shocked to speak, only holding my hand tightly.

I inwardly groaned, but still managed to pull the girl along and take a big step forward.

I stretched out my other hand and slowly explored along the dynamic lines of the mural, trying my best to observe the changes on the painting.

But after examining it carefully for a long time, I did not see anything like the painting that the Thunder Strike Sword had mentioned that was about to open.

The figures on the screen began to move slightly, but the clarity remained unchanged this time.

After observing for a long time, the girl covered her mouth in surprise and said cautiously, "Brother, it seems that's really the case."

Seeing that she said the same thing, I rubbed my eyes again and examined her carefully.

How come I can't see it?!

Looking at the scene before me... I feel like only the shape on it is slowly changing. If the key is to open it, shouldn't it at least have some embossing?

After looking at them from left to right and scrutinizing them, I finally realized that it was my own eyes that were receiving the information, and that my vision was somewhat delayed.

If that's the case, what I'm seeing now is probably what they just saw.
