After Lin Wu finished his meal, he rested for a while and went out when he thought it was almost time.

The castle was completely silent at night, so quiet that it was even a little eerie and made one's heart beat fast.

Lin Wu looked around and didn't see anyone, nor did he feel any cameras, so he went out and walked towards the stairs.

Lin Wu didn't hear any footsteps either.

It seems that no one would come into the castle where the city lord lives, let alone patrol.

After going down to the first floor, Lin Wu went up the stairs on the right.

However, when she reached the end of the corridor on the second floor according to her memory, she found that there was no staircase! Lin Wu walked forward quickly and touched the wall.

Nothing weird.

"Where the hell are the stairs..."

Lin Wu stepped back and thought about it.

Well, that’s because the city lord doesn’t want to see her tonight. It’s useless for her to look for him. It’s impossible for her to find the stairs to go up.

Lin Wu's mouth twitched slightly, and he had to go back to the first floor.

Just as he was about to go to the stairs on the left, Lin Wu suddenly turned around and looked to the right.

Empty.

But just now she clearly had a creepy feeling, as if something was watching her, and that moment was extremely cold.

Lin Wu waited for a while but saw no unusual movement, so he simply returned to his residence and went to sleep.

But when she fell asleep, the door creaked open a crack.

It seemed that a long and steady breath was heard from inside, and the door was pushed open completely. A tall black shadow stood at the door, silently looking at the person on the bed.

The smell of blood slowly spread in the air.

…

The next day.

Lin Wu was sleeping soundly when suddenly there was a loud "bang" and someone kicked the door open.

Lin Wu was also woken up and frowned.

Without opening her eyes, she raised her hand, pulled out the pillow, and threw it hard.

"roll!"

Lin Wu turned over and pulled the quilt up to cover his head.

"Ansheng! How the hell are you talking like that? What time is it? Get up right now!" The person didn't leave. He came in, slammed the door, put something on the table, and came over to pull Lin Wu's quilt.

Lin Wu raised his foot to kick, but was blocked.

She threw off the quilt, raised her hand and attacked, and immediately started fighting with the intruder.

When she opened her eyes, it was none other than Ren Ke! Lin Wu was even more irritable after waking up, and she didn't hold back when Ren Ke attacked her desperately. The two smashed everything in the room, and even the door was kicked to pieces and fell to the floor of the corridor outside. In the end, Lin Wu pressed Ren Ke against the door and rode on her to clamp her hands.

Several footsteps were heard at the end of the corridor.

Lin Wu caught a glimpse of Mo Lang and his men coming in a hurry.

"What the hell is wrong with you so early in the morning?" Lin Wu cursed, "Not only did you disturb my sleep, but you're also trying to kill me? Hiss - my wound is about to burst open!"

Ren Ke also had a bruised face and sneered, "You're still fine, aren't you? And I wanted to kill you, didn't you know that on the first day? If Fan hadn't asked the city lord to let me take care of your three meals a day, I wouldn't have bothered to come and see you!"

Lin Wu paused. Fan hadn't been able to take her away, but the city lord had also given in? Was the city lord actually so afraid of Fan that he would give in?

Seeing Mo Lang and his men approaching, Lin Wu let go of Ren Ke, staggered to his feet, holding his abdomen, and said, "If you don't want to come, I'm not happy to see you. Get out!"

"Watch your attitude!" Ren Ke glared at Lin Wu.

Mo Lang shouted coldly: "Watch your attitude! This is the city lord's place. You destroyed so much. Are you dissatisfied with the city lord?"

Ren Ke said: "Mo Lang, which eye of yours saw that I destroyed it? It was clearly her who did it!"

Mo Lang looked at Ren Ke expressionlessly.

Ren Ke looked extremely angry. He pointed inside and said to Lin Wu, "Breakfast has been delivered. Eat it! I don't want to see you now. I'll come back at noon. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer by then!"

After saying this, Ren Ke turned and left.

Mo Lang watched her leave before asking Lin Wu, "What's the answer?"

Lin Wu said, "Isn't it obvious? On the way back, she told me to be careful not to say bad things about Fan. You and Ling Xiu both work for the city lord, didn't those words reach your ears? Don't pretend, it's fake."

Mo Lang: “…”

"Also, ask Ling Xiu to change a room for me. I haven't gotten enough sleep." Lin Wu covered his abdomen and hissed again, saying, "Prepare some more medicine for injuries. Come earlier next time, don't wait until I'm done getting beaten up."

Veins on Mo Lang's forehead were throbbing, and he asked someone to go find Ling Xiu.

He didn't leave either. Instead, he turned and went into the room to check the breakfast that Ren Ke had brought him. When he found nothing, he ignored Lin Wu's mocking gaze and left.

Lin Wu went in, sat on the bed which was barely clean, and slowly finished his breakfast.

Ling Xiu also came at this time and took Lin Wu to a smaller room upstairs.

Lin Wu went in and saw medicine on the table.

Lin Wu sat down and took off his coat. He dealt with it hastily, picked up a few capsules and opened them one by one. When he got the third capsule, he found a very small rolled-up note inside.

She unfolded it and took a look.

There were only a few words on it: Eighteenth Level of Ice Prison.

Lin Wu thought for a moment and swallowed the note and the capsule together.

At noon, Ren Ke came again as expected, delivering lunch with a very sour look on his face, followed by Mo Lang.

"Eat quickly. I'm responsible for your three meals a day. If you don't eat what I bring, you'll go hungry. I will stay with you tonight. If you need to find me, don't count on others because they are busy." After Ren Ke finished speaking, he turned and looked at Mo Lang.

"Lord Mo Lang, do you have to watch her eat? The city lord wouldn't be so concerned, right?" She said with a hint of mockery.

Mo Lang frowned and looked at Lin Wu.

"...Ren Ke, do you know that you don't want to live anymore and are looking for death? If you are dissatisfied with Fan, you can just say it directly. There is no need to retaliate against him in this way." Lin Wu said.

Ren Ke was silent.

Only then did Mo Lang go out.

After the door closed, Ren Ke took a deep breath and said, "I am dissatisfied, so what? Who cares? Do you care?"

Lin Wu drank the soup slowly, "As you said, you and I had no feelings for each other in Lingnan before, so you don't have to expect me to comfort you."

Ren Ke's face twisted.

Lin Wu said: "Just say it straight."

Ren Ke angrily said, "Fan said, don't work for the city lord, don't trust the city lord, find a way to leave the city lord and go back to him."

"What if I don't?"

"You don't want Killer City to know about those people in Lingnan, especially a few of them, right?"

“Bang—”

Lin Wu placed the bowl heavily on the table.

Ren Ke seemed to have vented his anger, and a smile appeared on his face. He said slowly: "I will only give you one night to think about it, and reply to me tomorrow morning. I believe you will definitely find a way to leave here. Of course, to show my sincerity, I can tell you on behalf of Fan that he needs you for something, and you will get satisfactory benefits like in the past, which is much better than being with the city lord."

Lin Wu looked at her solemnly, quickly finished his meal without saying a word, went to bed, and pulled the quilt to cover himself.

Ren Ke tilted his head to look outside the door, said nothing more, closed his eyes and lay on the sofa to catch up on his sleep.

In the evening, Lin Wu's meal was still delivered by Ren Ke's people. Ling Xiu came to accompany her and chatted with her intentionally or unintentionally.

However, after the meal, Ren Ke did not stay, so Ling Xiu took Ren Ke away and arranged for him to live next door.

Lin Wu rested in his room, waiting patiently for night to fall and envelope the castle in darkness.

In the darkness, Lin Wu opened his eyes and looked at his watch.

Two-thirty in the morning.

It's time.

Lin Wu got up, tiptoed down the stairs, and went up to the second floor on the other side.

This time, Lin Wu saw the stairs.

"really……"

Lin Wu walked up to the fifth floor and stopped in front of the wall.

Turn the relief on the left, and the ancient carpet on the wall sinks into the ground, revealing a passage.

In an instant, the tattoo on Lin Wu's shoulder also appeared.

Lin Wu touched it in silence for a few seconds, then walked into the passage and soon arrived in front of the gate.

The black gold door was tightly closed, and there seemed to be no intention of opening it.

Lin Wu stopped, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "City Lord, you asked me to come see you at night, and I am here. Wouldn't it be bad to refuse to see you now?"

The door still remained silent.

Lin Wu was unwilling to go back like this, so he walked forward and pushed the door tentatively.

It actually worked! Lin Wu was slightly startled and pushed it open with force.

Amidst the loud bang, Lin Wu was about to go in, but a pungent smell of blood emanated from inside!

Lin Wu stopped suddenly, a little stunned.

It was pitch black inside and Lin Wu couldn't see what was going on.

"City Lord..."

A hoarse and suppressed male voice suddenly interrupted Lin Wu: "Get out! We'll talk tomorrow!"
