The stats of NPCs were naturally different from that of monsters. There were no descriptions of their fighting styles or weaknesses. After all, the system still encouraged players to negotiate peacefully and not try to fight with NPCs.
Knowing that the other party couldn't fight, Feng Bujue relaxed. He put away his weapon and walked towards the shadow.
When he was less than two meters away from the other party, the black shadow suddenly raised an arm and straightened one palm, making a stop gesture.
Seeing this, Feng Bujue stood still and waited for the other party's next reaction.
The music from an unknown place sounded in Feng Bujue's ears again. As expected, the shadow did a zombie dance from 'Thriller'. Who knew what this was hinting at …
After dancing for a minute or two, the shadow did a 720-degree turn and pushed at the metal door behind it. On the surface of the door, another formless formation failed and the sound of glass shattering could be heard.
Then, the Dancing Shadow used its unique voice to scream and danced past Feng Bujue. As it moved further and further away, the surrounding darkness became thicker and thicker.
Feng Bujue now understood that one of the Dancing Shadow's abilities was to control the darkness. Because it came to the surface, the two floors above were slightly brighter. But as the Dancing Shadow left, the surrounding darkness became disorderly and dispersed.
"Alright … That's the only way." Before the surroundings were completely swallowed by the darkness, Feng Bujue took a few steps forward, grabbed the two handles of the metal door, and pushed it open.
The moment he stepped into the hidden room, Feng Bujue concluded that he had found the source of the disgusting smell. Compared to the rotten smell behind the door, the smell of the other parts of the room was not even worth mentioning.
If he had to describe it, it was like someone farted in this room and then the room disappeared.
Feng Bujue had only taken a few steps when the door behind him closed with a bang.
The room was dimly lit. Feng Bujue looked around through the gas mask. First, he saw the synthetic human on the wall … It was the one with the knuckles on its lower body. At this moment, it was nailed to the wall by many thick iron nails. The wound on its chest had stopped bleeding, but the floor directly under it was covered with blood.
The synthetic man with the bone spikes on his wrist was lying in a recess in the wall. There were two metal shelves outside the wall where he could rest his' hands'. The middle of the recess was filled with strange moss-like plants, which seemed to be food for the tongues.
Feng Bujue's eyes moved slowly. He realized that the size of the room was shocking, and the height of the roof did not match the structure of the house. Clearly, the space behind the door did not exist in the room outside the door.
He looked around and realized that there were at least twenty synthetic humans embedded in the wall. They came in different shapes and sizes, and each one of them was incredibly strange. Just looking at them gave Gu Jun goosebumps.
"Andrew, is that you?" A woman's voice came from the chaos before him.
Feng Bujue followed the voice and soon saw a mummified woman lying in one of the recesses. She only had one eyeball, her skin was dry, she had no hair, and her teeth were all black and rotten. She radiated a horrible stench that could drain Gu Jun's Life Points.
The moment Candace entered his field of vision, another cinematic appeared.
…
"Andrew, my child, don't you recognize me?" Candace asked softly.
Andrew looked at the monster before him with shock. He finally understood why Arthur did not allow him to enter this room. "Ma … Ma … No, impossible, you're already …"
"I'm not dead." Candace's voice was filled with resentment. "Until the moment I was buried, I was still conscious. It was all Arthur's doing, it was him! My illness was poisoned by him, and my death was faked by him! The day after the funeral, he dug me out and used alchemy to turn me into this! "
"But … but why would brother …"
"He's not your brother! He's a Xin! The incarnation of a demon! " Candace interrupted. "Look at the synthetic monsters in this room. He's started to kill innocent people, hasn't he?"
"No … those people …" Andrew still wanted to explain.
Candace quickly added, "Don't be fooled by him, Andrew! He's just using you. Look what he's done to Ma! He'll kill you sooner or later! "
"Then … what … what should I do?"
"You have to be patient, Andrew. You can't kill him now. You have to wait for the right time …" Candace lowered her voice. "You have to keep the fact that we're here a secret. Don't reveal anything to him, understand?"
"I …" Andrew did not know what to do.
"Come here and listen to me. Ma will tell you what to do …"
…
When the flashback ended, Feng Bujue realized that he was standing before Candace.
"Andrew, what happened to you?" Candace looked at Feng Bujue and asked. "Wait … you … are you Arthur?"
When Feng Bujue heard that, he understood many things. "No, it's me, Andrew." Feng Bujue mimicked Andrew's tone.
Candace looked at him deeply. "What's wrong with you? Did Arthur do something to you? "
"The alchemy to exchange souls failed," Feng Bujue said as he took out the Advanced Alchemy book and flipped to the second chapter. The content of the chapter was no longer a blur. The system had already translated it, and the second chapter recorded a complete example of the Alchemy Technique.
"Failed … what do you mean … where is Arthur?" Candace asked.
"I killed him, and he turned me into this." Feng Bujue's eyes stopped on the book. After replying, he squatted down and dipped some unknown liquid into a nearby stain. He started to follow the drawing to create a magic circle.
"What are you doing?" Candace looked at her son's strange action and asked with suspicion.
"I'm saving you, ma 'am." Feng Bujue replied. "Using this magic circle, I can turn you back into a normal person."
"Is … is that so …" Candace said.
"Arthur is dead. Ma 'am, you don't have to stay here anymore. We can go back to our normal lives," Feng Bujue said.
"Yes … you're right … Hahaha …" Candace could not help but laugh. "Arthur is dead. Andrew, you're ma 'am's good son … You really killed that Xin race demon, hahaha …" She was overjoyed. "I can finally leave this place …"
Feng Bujue quickly finished the magic circle. He moved Candace out from the wall and placed her in the middle of the circle. Then he took out the 6 items from his pocket and placed them around her.
Candace said impatiently, "Quick, Andrew, activate the magic circle."
"Why are you in such a hurry, ma 'am?" Feng Bujue said in a strange tone. "Are you that desperate for my power?"
"What … what are you talking about?" Candace's expression shifted but she quickly covered it up. She asked in a fake tone, "An … Andrew, what are you talking about? Ma 'am does not understand …"
"Just now, I realized something … I finally understood what Arthur meant when he said 'my dumb little brother'." Feng Bujue smirked. "Actually, I'm not your son either."
