The second floor of the castle's main building.
Chi Sui was lying on the hard big bed, snoring softly.
A misty shadow moved across the ground.
Soon, the shadow passed through the wall and the door and entered Chi Sui's bedroom.
The lace bed curtains moved without wind, and a shadow came in silently.
Chi Sui was sleeping soundly when suddenly, the 444 in his mind screamed frantically, "Ding ding ding! Danger is detected approaching, please wake up immediately!"
Chi Sui's eyelids moved slightly, and the shadow stood quietly on the lace bed curtain. The person on the bed muttered something, rubbed the quilt, and then began to snore again.
The shadow slid down from the bed curtain like a piece of paper torn off and landed on the quilt.
In an instant, a shadow appeared on the pillow next to Chi Sui's head.
The shadow faced Chi Sui. The shadow raised his arm slightly, and a dagger appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The tip of the dagger's shadow was pointing at Chi Sui's throat.
Swish
The shadow dagger swung down and stabbed Chi Sui's chest, but the person on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, and whoosh, her body jumped up from the bed at a speed that ordinary people could not achieve.
The shadow was stunned, and soon, its face became ferocious, and it quickly used all objects it could possess to chase Chi Sui.
Chi Sui's physiological functions were stretched to the limit at this moment. She ran downstairs quickly. In her panic, she didn't even have time to put on her shoes.
The shadow chased it along the wall of the corridor, Chi Sui's running figure only one step ahead of it.
444 kept warning in Chi Sui's mind: "444 has already consumed the host's lifespan and prolonged the time of the physiological function explosion as requested by the host."
"Alert, you have consumed five years of your lifespan. The maximum usage authority for this mechanism is ten years."
"Host, please find a way to escape as soon as possible. Countdown 10...9..."
Boom boom boom
The stairs made a slight noise as Chi Sui went down quickly.
“5…4…”
"444, buy a fully charged solar light at the mall!"
"2… This item has been purchased for 178 trading coins. …1. The countdown ends."
clatter
Chi Sui turned on the solar lamp, the countdown ended, his body functions were paralyzed, and he suddenly knelt on the teleportation magic circle outside the castle.
She held the solar lamp high, dispelling the darkness around her.
"齁...齁..."
Chi Sui felt a bloody taste in his throat and his stomach churned.
The teleportation magic circle under his feet emitted a faint light in the dark night, the solar lamp above his head emitted a dazzling white light, and the shadow disappeared.
Chi Sui's body was overdrawn, and his arms were shaking as he held the solar lamp.
In the entire teleportation magic circle, the only sound was Chi Sui's buffalo-like breathing.
444 breathed a sigh of relief. "Host, have you known for a long time that shadows dare not approach light?"
Chi Sui shook his head in his mind: "You said it was a shadow summoned by dark magic, and I thought, since it is a shadow, it must have a dependent."
"It's not enough to just have light, we also need 360-degree light without blind spots."
"From the first day I arrived in the Wasteland, I discovered that this teleportation magic circle is different from the territory's protective formation. It is activated all day long."
"And it's obvious that every magic circle contains light magic. When I ran here, I had an open view. There was a faintly glowing light teleportation magic circle under my feet. There was a solar lamp above my head. As long as the light was on, it wouldn't dare to come near."
444 sighed: "What if things don't happen as you expected..."
Chi Sui shook his head in his heart: "If you fail, you fail. If you succeed, you succeed. This is your own choice. There is nothing to say."
Chi Sui was still panting. Her eyes were sharp as she scanned the surroundings, her lips curled up: "Hmph... old lady... hmph... hmph... you wait... hmph..."
444: "Host, you should catch your breath first... These harsh words lack any momentum."
Chi Sui: "Hmph...Hmph...yue..."
Chi Sui, whose physiological functions had reached their limit, finally vomited.
That night, Chi Sui held the lamp and stayed in the teleportation formation all night.
It wasn't until the sun rose that 444 lifted the alarm: "Host, it's left. It can't exist during the day."
Chi Sui fell to the ground with a thud and fell asleep.
When Mary and Ellie woke up in the morning, they found that Chi Sui was missing. They quickly called Ole and searched everywhere. Finally, they found Chi Sui lying face down and motionless in the teleportation square next to the castle.
The three of them hurriedly took Chi Sui to the bedroom. When Ellie was tidying up Chi Sui's clothes, she found that Chi Sui was holding a piece of paper in his hand.
When I opened it, there was a message on it: "Use the little turtle to contact Prime Minister Turtle and ask them to find a way to protect me. I will give you gold as a reward."
Ole's face changed, his bad premonition came true. He quickly took out the turtle from the small water tank in the hall, studied it for a long time but couldn't use it, so he had to tell the turtle the contents of Chi Sui's note word by word.
The little turtle blew a bubble.
Ole was a little anxious and thought that if it didn't work, he would go to the Demon Realm.
But soon, the little turtle suddenly opened its mouth wide, but without moving, the voice of the Turtle Prime Minister came from inside: "Leave the Duchess's safety to me and the Palace... My magician friend, please wait, we will be here soon."
Ole breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He turned to Mary and Ellie and said, "You go work in the restaurant. If you don't go, the restaurant won't be able to open. Now we all rely on the restaurant to make money."
Mary and Ellie looked at each other and left with worried expressions.
Ole circled around Chi Sui, looking downstairs constantly, until two hours later, a familiar, exquisitely carved wooden carriage stopped outside the castle.
Ole hurried down to open the door.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he was stunned.
He did know Prime Minister Turtle, but who was the tall and handsome man next to Prime Minister Turtle?
She wore a black robe made of dark gold brocade, and her long black hair as white as silk was only fixed by a golden hair crown. Her dark red pupils with gold edges looked at people solemnly, and an inexplicable sense of oppression came over her, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Ole's back involuntarily arched and he quickly looked away.
Long Xi looked up at the castle, and finally his gaze focused on the bloody footprints on the teleportation magic circle next to the castle.
The footprints were long, thin and small, and they were women's footprints.
"Tsk... dark magic."
“It stinks.”
Long Xi chuckled, raised his eyelids, and looked at Aolai: "Lead the way."
Ole nodded and led the way.
When he arrived at Chi Sui's bedroom, Prime Minister Turtle saw Chi Sui sleeping soundly on the bed, frowned, and looked at Long Xi.
"Your Highness...is this...a loss of lifespan? Can dark magic actually take away a person's lifespan?"
Long Xi slowly sat down on the old broken chair beside the bed. He raised his eyebrows and put his hand on Chi Sui's wrist pulse.
Soon, he released his hand and raised the cinnabar mole at the end of his eye slightly: "No, her life span has nothing to do with dark magic."
Prime Minister Turtle was puzzled.
Long Xi didn't explain, but just chuckled: "She has a secret."
whoosh
Long Xi bent her fingers and a small purple bead popped out. The bead shot to Chi Sui's eyebrows and finally merged into her body, disappearing without a trace.
