Even in the city lord's mansion, the realm of the dead is eerily quiet all day long.
The so-called undead maids are nothing more than puppets that exist only for the occasional banquets. Most of the time, the city lord's mansion does not need to be cleaned, nor does anyone need to prepare anything.
There was no banquet. Bai Xi's first impression upon entering the city lord's mansion was that it was too quiet.
At the entrance, one could see footless ghosts drifting about, acting as guards to watch over the undead trying to enter the city lord's mansion.
Not every undead is powerful; many undead become victims of the law of the jungle.
Therefore, quite a few undead tried to break into the Bone Lord's presence to seek refuge.
He's the official city lord, so at least he won't kill ghosts for no reason.
Looking at the deep, dark corridor, Bai Xi suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for the day of the banquet, where the restless spirits had somewhat dispelled their fear.
She hadn't paid attention to these little details before, but seeing them today, they were a bit scary.
But since she's just a ghost, it doesn't really matter.
As Bai Xi ventured deeper, she became increasingly astonished. The corridors were lined with skeletons, but they didn't appear to be the snow-white bones of the Bone Lord; instead, they were broken, darkened bones.
It is highly likely that these are decorative items he collected.
Occasionally, a ghost maid would pass by, but Bai Xi would choose to avoid her, since she was now invisible and wouldn't be discovered.
As she entered through the main entrance, a long, tall staircase led to the second floor. The atmosphere was so eerie that Bai Xi always felt there was something terrifying inside, and her intuition was always right.
But now that she's come this far, she's not going to back down.
We can always adapt to the situation when necessary.
Bai Xi lightly 'stepped' across the red carpet leading to the second floor. She saw that the second floor, like a human castle, had many, many doors, all of which looked the same, making it impossible to determine where the Bone City Lord was.
Having no other option, she could only try to confirm it.
Theoretically, she could walk through walls, but this was the city lord's mansion of the undead, and the walls here were impenetrable. She was now essentially trapped in a cage from which she could not escape.
Bai Xi's gaze swept across the rooms on the second floor one by one. There was only one relatively large room, which looked like a conference room or something similar, used for discussing business.
Where will the remaining Bone Lords appear...?
Bai Xi fell into deep thought.
Just as she was quietly thinking, a commotion suddenly came from the innermost room. It was a violent male voice mixed with the sound of things being smashed, which sounded a lot like the Bone Lord.
Bai Xi frowned, realizing that something was amiss, and immediately flew towards the source of the sound.
Anyway, she's here to kill the Bone Lord, so as long as she finds her target, that's fine.
As soon as she reached the door of the room, she heard the Bone Lord's extremely arrogant laughter again.
"As long as we have this! As long as we have this!"
His mental state didn't sound quite right, which made Bai Xi feel uneasy. Was there something in this room?
Her curiosity was piqued.
The next second, the door in front of her was opened.
The skull of the Bone Lord was face to face with Bai Xi, only half a meter away, which frightened Bai Xi so much that her whole body stiffened.
The air was silent for a few seconds. The Bone Lord's head did not turn; instead, it was turned toward Bai Xi.
Just when Bai Xi thought she had been discovered, the Bone Lord suddenly grinned, as if he were laughing.
"You will all regret this. I have obtained a new treasure. All the spirits who did not believe me and targeted me will be your nightmare from today onwards."
He muttered frantically, and Bai Xi was just close enough to understand him completely, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
What kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) speech is this?
Fortunately, the Bone Lord didn't intend to stand there for long. Soon after, he turned around and wanted to leave, and at the same time, he was about to close the door.
Actually, now isn't a particularly good time to make a move, but Bai Xi really wants to know what's in that room.
So she chose this time and took action.
Amidst the flickering soul flames of the Bone Lord, a girl's figure seemed to flash by, but before he could react, the holy sword had already pierced his skull.
Aside from liches, the soul fire is especially crucial for skeletal undead like the Bone Lord.
If injured, the undead cannot even exert half of their normal power.
"The Holy Sword is useful, but it's a bit too dangerous."
After Bai Xi appeared, she couldn't help but make a comment.
Then she looked up at the sky above her head and silently lowered her head again.
"I almost forgot I don't have a health bar, what a ridiculous joke."
While Bai Xi was complaining, she also jabbed the holy sword in her hand into the skull of the Bone Lord, afraid that he might suddenly explode and knock her down.
Fortunately, thanks to Bai Xi's persistent efforts in channeling magic, the Bone Lord was unable to withstand her attack.
When the Bone Lord fell, Bai Xi actually saw despair on his face.
He's going to die, this time he's really dead.
Bai Xi was silently criticizing the Bone Lord in her mind.
Only after confirming that the Bone Lord's soul fire had been completely extinguished did Bai Xi feel relieved and squat down to examine the things she had taken out of the room.
In fact, the assassination operation did not go this smoothly in Baixi's original plan.
But she never expected that the Bone Lord would stand in front of her, allowing her to slaughter him at such close range.
It was purely a coincidence, but that's how Bai Xi came to be.
"Your luck is truly..."
The little ghost floated beside Bai Xi with a complicated expression, having witnessed the entire silent assassination.
There were no surprises, and no comebacks.
"not bad?"
Bai Xi replied casually.
"Only after you become an undead."
The little ghost corrected him in a serious tone.
"Thank you."
Bai Xi was speechless.
"What is this? Do you recognize it?"
Bai Xi held up the item in her hand and asked the little ghost a question.
The mini encyclopedia has returned to her side, so of course she should make good use of it.
"Hmm...it looks like something used for teleportation, the core of a teleportation array?"
The little ghost leaned closer to look, its beady eyes almost touching, making it look like it was cross-eyed, staring intently.
"A teleportation array?"
Bai Xi seemed to have figured something out.
After all, the Bone Lord had done something similar before, attempting to lead an army of undead into human territory. Considering this, it's highly likely that it's the core of the teleportation array.
Thinking of this, Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
She silently put away the so-called 'treasure', then turned to look at the room with only a crack in the door. It was dark and somewhat eerie inside.
Bai Xi hesitated for a moment, then tried to pry open a corner of the door.
