Faint noises could be heard from time to time outside, but soon disappeared completely, and the entire castle returned to silence.

Lin Wu then moved, sliding down the door and sitting down.

He still held Ren Ke's dagger in his hand.

This is a short knife that is completely black in color and has an extremely sharp blade. A crystal clear black jade is inlaid on the top of the handle.

Lin Wu stroked the hilt of the knife with his fingers. After a moment, he stood up and went to bed with an expressionless face.

The next day, Qin Sheng knocked on the door early in the morning.

I don’t know if he knew what happened last night, but he knocked on the door cautiously.

Lin Wu picked up something from the bedside table and threw it hard, hitting the door with a bang, and the noise outside disappeared.

Lin Wu turned over and continued to sleep.

It was not until noon that Lin Wu woke up from hunger and had to get up and go out.

Qin Sheng was standing outside the door. Lin Wu didn't even look at him. He said something like "prepare lunch" and went downstairs.

Qin Sheng quickly followed and said hesitantly, "Sir, last night..."

"Don't ask about things that are none of your business." Lin Wu said in a calm voice.

Qin Sheng shut up.

When she went downstairs, Lin Wu saw Fan sitting at the dining table, obviously waiting for her. There was already food prepared on the table.

Lin Wu didn't pause at all. He looked over, took the plate of buns and went upstairs.

"The city lord knows." Fan said.

Lin Wu paused slightly.

"The city lord asked Ling Xiu to take over Ren Ke's affairs and told me to take a few days off and not to worry about anything. He also asked Mo Lang to take my deputy city lord order. He didn't say how many days I should take off."

Fan raised his head, looked at Lin Wu, and said, "There are spies from the former Eight Rakshasas near the Ice Prison. If we send someone there, we won't be able to hide it from the city lord."

Lin Wu said coldly: "You killed someone, and now you blame me for letting the city lord catch you?"

Fan frowned: "You know, I didn't mean it, I wanted to..."

Qin Sheng, who was standing by, quickly lowered his head and even wanted to run away, not daring to listen any further. However, he failed to run away as Lin Wu stopped him.

"I don't care what you mean. I'm not begging you to do anything for me. Go away and don't bother me."

Lin Wu finished speaking to Fan first, then turned to Qin Sheng and said, "I'm tired. You handle the Nine Camps' city defense. Don't report to me again. I don't want to be in charge anymore."

Qin Sheng looked up in astonishment: "But I have no right..."

"Then you can sit on this Nine Rakshasa."

Lin Wu said this and went upstairs.

Qin Sheng was slightly startled, subconsciously looked at Fan, and hurriedly said: "I don't have such intentions!"

Fan squeezed his palms and waved him away.

Upstairs, after Lin Wu had his fill, he went to bed leisurely to catch up on his sleep.

She stayed in her room all afternoon, exhausted, and did not go out in the evening. She called the internal line and asked someone to deliver dinner to her room, then she kicked the person out and stayed alone.

The next day, Lin Wu also stayed in the room for the whole day.

She threw away the information sheet that Qin Sheng brought with him, and showed with her actions that she didn't want to care at all, nor did she want to listen to what Qin Sheng said, and slammed the door.

On the third day, Lin Wu still stayed in the room and did not go out.

She could still stay, but others couldn't.

Ling Xiu came to see Lin Wu in person and persuaded Lin Wu not to stay in the room all the time and to do more things.

At that time, Lin Wu was standing at the door watching Ling Xiu talk a lot. After she finished speaking, he asked, "Who asked you to come? Does the city lord know?"

Ling Xiu's face changed.

Lin Wu said, "Sister Lingxiu, I've thought it through. I'm fine like this, and my life is not in danger. Whatever you want to do is your business, don't come to me."

After saying that, Lin Wu closed the door again and ignored it.

On the fourth day, no one gave Lin Wu the chance to stay in the room any longer.

Early in the morning, before Lin Wu woke up, someone kicked open the door and woke Lin Wu up.

Lin Wu opened his eyes and saw Fan, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Unable to suppress her anger, she grabbed something on the bedside table and threw it at him.

Fan did not hide, and let Lin Wu finish smashing it, then said: "I will only give you half an hour, see you in the study."

Lin Wu lay back down, turned sideways and said, "Get lost."

"Don't you even care about the secrets you want to know?" Fan said slowly.

Lin Wu sobered up a little, but did not respond.

Fan said: "You are like me, always under the control of the city lord. Why is this so? When did you get caught? Don't you want to know?"

Lin Wu pulled the quilt up to cover himself.

Fan said calmly, "Don't pretend. I know you and Ling Xiu are familiar with each other. If you give me the result I want, I will make her suffer the same fate as Ren Ke. The city lord will not fall out with me just for her."

Lin Wu finally showed his head and looked at the man: "What else can you do besides threaten?!"

Fan curled his lips, but his eyes were cold, "As long as it works."

After saying this, he turned around.

Close the door too.

Lin Wu lay on the bed for a while before sitting up. He went downstairs to close and lock the door, then returned to the bed.

She opened the drawer of the bedside table, and inside was Ren Ke's dagger.

She then rolled up her clothes to reveal her belly.

Her hands are too obvious and she uses them a lot, so she can't get injured. They healed the day before yesterday.

The wounds on his waist and abdomen had only just scabbed over.

Lin Wu gripped the knife tightly and cut the wound on his abdomen again.

…

Half an hour later.

Lin Wu pushed open the door of the study and saw Fan sitting at her desk, looking at the things she had dealt with a few days ago.

Glancing at her, Fan frowned slightly: "Why are you taking a shower so early in the morning? Why do you smell so strongly of soapberries?"

The sofa was far away, so Lin Wu went over to sit down and said indifferently, "I haven't washed for a few days. I'm so sloppy that I just hate it. Is that not okay? It's so early in the morning. I thought you didn't know what time it was."

Fan said coldly: "The city lord is not here at the moment."

Lin Wu was slightly startled.

Fan put down the things in his hand and said, "The city lord has always been very mysterious. The thing he uses to control us is also very strange. As long as you try to find what it relies on to control us, it will be discovered. If you think deeply about it or try to contact it, it will also be discovered. This island is the city lord's island, and 'it' monitors it more strictly. It is only appropriate to talk about it when the city lord is not around."

This aroused Lin Wu's interest.

She sat up straight and asked, "How do you know the city lord is not here? The city lord's whereabouts have always been secretive. Maybe even Mo Lang, who has been following him for a long time, doesn't know."

Fan looked at her and asked instead of answering, "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"

"……What?"

"You escaped from Killer City today, a few years ago."

Brahma said.

Lin Wu said "oh".

Fan continued, "On the same day, after you left, Mo Lang brought the city lord's order to settle the mess. He passed on the city lord's order and punished me to go to the Ice Prison to be punished."

He paused and looked at Lin Wu's reaction.

Lin Wu was very calm. He showed no surprise when this was mentioned to him and didn't seem to care at all.

He pressed his fingers between his brows, no longer looking at Lin Wu, and said something shocking: "It was also on that night that I encountered danger in the Ice Prison, and by some strange coincidence I hid in a special place."

"There, I not only found the traces of the city lord, but also saw the three Rakshasas that had been missing for a long time. Then, I discovered the city lord's secret, which was related to the fact that we were controlled by the city lord."

He also missed Lin Wu's surprise.

The city lord’s secret is indeed in the ice prison!

But why are the three Rakshasas in the Ice Prison?

and--

"Why do you say that the three Rakshasas have been missing for a long time? Haven't he and the other former eight Rakshasas been carrying out secret missions for the city lord? How can they be considered missing?"
