Chapter 58 Swan Castle (First Update)
There's no need to say anything more.
The Domain Lord is already the most powerful dungeon guest in "Heartbeat 1000%", and the Priest Folding Fan's own authority is no different from its predecessor, also at the Domain Lord level. However, even so, information related to "He" will be blocked.
That can only mean one thing.
Any news about "He" is taboo to some extent, and is forbidden to be touched in any form.
Yu Naixin had no interest in provoking such a terrifying figure when she was still so weak.
That concludes this discussion.
and……
Yu Naixin narrowed her eyes.
She felt that after she mentioned "He" just now, it was as if an extremely subtle gaze, from a place so far away that she didn't know how far away it was, was cast very lightly over her and brushed past her.
It had no real lethality, but in an instant, it caused every cell in Yu Naixin's body to simultaneously send out intense alarms.
—Do not touch Him! Absolutely do not touch Him!
This is a purely physiological reaction that Yu Naixin simply cannot control on her own.
Once the shiver that struck deep into her soul subsided, Yu Naixin was like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Why would she be so wary of "that person"?!
Based on the limited information available so far, "He" should be the mastermind behind the trashy dating reality show "Heartbeat 1000%", the culprit who threw her out of her normal life and into this lousy dating show without warning.
Yu Naixin let out a soft "heh".
—Wait.
We'll meet again someday.
[Damn, what happened now? That fleeting expression on the Demon King's face just now was terrifying!]
[Why did the fan suddenly appear? Female guest, don't let it stop! Let us hear what's going on!]
I'm so annoyed by these situations where I don't understand anything at all; it's all so confusing!
[The female guest has been receiving her identity information for so long, and she still hasn't finished? Is the background setting of this episode really that complicated?]
Although this is a mutated fusion instance, it's probably the easiest among them. I doubt any of the four male guests have a spiritual power coefficient exceeding 300. After all, the female guest is only a newcomer to the show, participating for the second time; it's unlikely she'd immediately attempt the highest difficulty level.
[Besides her, there's practically no other newbie who would be put into the Mutation Fusion dungeon...]
With a wave of her hand, Yu Naixin gestured for the priest to return the folding fan to its original location, and then turned her attention back to the study on the second floor of the central round tower.
She had only mentioned "that person" in her mind, and that unknown entity was already putting so much pressure on her. The ghost wizard had actually said "He" out loud, so he must be under even more pressure than she was, right?
Inside the study, the ghost wizard and the werewolf knight were still searching for traces of the mirror. When they had to make some physical movements to eliminate the possibility in some places, the two male guests would burn the spiritual power in their hands to temporarily possess a physical form.
Those corners piled high with books were the ones they searched out in this way.
Exploiting loopholes to wander around and investigate other parts of Neuschwanstein Castle in advance naturally comes at a price.
When ghost wizards and werewolf knights burn their spiritual energy, it's easy to tell from their facial expressions that this process is extremely taxing on them.
Yu Naixin even took a closer look at the fluctuations in the spiritual energy flow within the two male guests. The disorder was so great that Yu Naixin was stunned and didn't know how it had gotten like this. Just a slight immersion in the situation made her feel pain all over her body.
Just as the ghost wizard was about to locate the chandelier on the ceiling of the study while levitating, suddenly, as if stimulated by some unknown force, the cloak he was wearing shattered into tiny particles.
The transparent, flowing water-like body burst open directly outwards from the center, scattering water droplet-shaped fragments all over the walls, bookshelves, floor, and ceiling of the study.
The werewolf knight was startled by the commotion behind him. Before he could turn around to see what was happening, the shockwave from the center of the ghost wizard's body also reached him indiscriminately.
Even though the werewolf knight was still in phantom form, he was still slammed hard into the bookshelf in front of him. The entire bookshelf was smashed to pieces, the wooden frame broke, and the werewolf knight's figure was buried under many pieces of wood and books, with no trace of him visible.
Yu Naixin: "..."
Is it really that bad?
It was at least dozens of times more serious than the explosion she caused with the scapegoat during her first simulation in this dungeon show.
"That person" wouldn't have just eliminated the two male guests for her, would they?
Compared to the moment he mentioned "He" and was met with that unintentional pressure from that gaze, there was still a time gap between the ghost wizard uttering the words and suffering a severe blow.
Although there is no evidence, Yu Naixin intuitively felt that when the ghost wizard mentioned "that person," it did not attract "His" attention at all; it was she who drew "His" attention.
After all, the ghost wizard wouldn't be so crazy as to knowingly bring up "He" when there's a huge risk involved.
Then, "that person" casually noticed the ghost wizard who had just spoken arrogantly, and then took action to punish both the ghost wizard who had taken the initiative to offend and the werewolf knight who had been passively complicit.
Yu Naixin suddenly felt like there were too many things to complain about and she didn't know where to begin.
Is "that person"...so sensitive to her?
Inside the study on the second floor of the central round tower, countless shattered water droplets trembled and struggled to piece themselves back together, finally managing to reassemble a human figure with great difficulty.
Yu Naixin felt a sense of awe upon seeing this.
The fact that they could piece this back together is truly terrifying!
The ghost wizard's features were extremely unstable, his face constantly shifting and moving, every drop of water on it filled with terror, fear, and disbelief.
Combining what the Ghost Wizard previously revealed, "that person" must have been "asleep" for quite some time. The Ghost Wizard had at least tested it and found that mentioning "He" was harmless as long as one was careful.
Yu Naixin remained silent.
So... He really was led here by her?
"That person's" purpose was merely to intimidate and warn, not to eliminate the ghost wizard.
After a good ten minutes or so, the ghost wizard finally managed to piece together his facial features correctly. He didn't even have time to care that he was running around naked. While still trembling, he immediately continued searching the mirror.
That's quite impressive.
The werewolf knight finally crawled out from underground at the earthquake collapse site. His injuries were not as severe as the ghost wizard's, but it was still clear that there were many torn and bleeding wounds on his phantom.
The noise from the study was so loud that the NPC servants outside naturally heard it, but they followed the principle of not disturbing any of the guests, only showing their shock and fear from the outside, and none of them came to investigate.
Soon, the ghost wizard discovered the mirror hidden above the chandelier.
This mirror didn't look much different from the one Yu Naixin had seen before, except that the frame wasn't as ornate or elaborate.
The moment he saw the mirror, the ghost wizard forced himself to stop trembling. He tried to keep his hands steady as he tried to take the mirror down.
Just as the ghost wizard's hand was about to touch the mirror, Yu Naixin made her move.
Using her access to the Swan Castle's owner, she remotely took the mirror into her own hands.
Before the ghost wizard could react, he suddenly discovered that the mirror in front of him had vanished into thin air.
Ghost Wizard: "...?!"
Under the ghost wizard's blank and incredulous gaze, Yu Naixin casually turned the mirror in her hand and revealed a sweet smile.
I've been waiting for this moment.
