Connor jumped over the wall silently. The door of the castle was locked, so Connor could only sneak in through the window.
Unlike what Connor had imagined, the interior of the castle wasn't as dilapidated as the exterior. Although the various decorations in the corridors and halls were a bit old-fashioned, one could still see the former glory of the castle from the exquisite patterns on them.
Connor tried his best to control the sound of his footsteps as he carefully searched every room in the castle. The revolver in his hand was already loaded with bullets, and the safety was on. As long as he pulled the trigger, he would be able to shoot the 'sinful' bullet!
Not including the basement, the castle had three floors. Apart from the attic on the third floor, the remaining two floors each had seven to eight rooms. Connor's search was quick, and he soon reached the last room on the first floor.
Pushing open the door and looking at the scene inside, Connor's pupils suddenly shrank.
There was someone in this room! However, this person wasn't Rebecca, who Connor was looking for. Instead, it was a dead man whose neck had been twisted!
The dead man was an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. Looking at his clothes, he should be the old servant who had been left behind by the great merchant, Fabinho, to take care of the castle!
Swallowing his saliva, Connor walked over to the corpse and examined it. The corpse seemed to still be warm. If not for the fact that there was no heartbeat or breathing, and that the neck wasn't broken, it wouldn't be any different from a living person.
'A.I. Chip! Search for clues on the corpse in front of me! 'Connor ordered the A.I. Chip in his mind.
[Beep! Mission established!]
[Clue 1, this corpse has been dead for two hours!]
[Clue 2, this corpse's neck was broken when he was alive!]
[Clue 3, this corpse was killed in a single blow!]
In an instant, the A.I. Chip's cold female voice sounded in Connor's mind.
'This old servant was just killed? Furthermore, he was killed with a single blow. Looks like the murderer should be an experienced veteran? " Connor thought inwardly. Not knowing why, Connor suddenly had a kind of ominous feeling, it seemed that there was something or someone that he did not plan for, that was outside of his plan …
Connor gritted his teeth as the uneasiness in his heart grew more and more obvious. A hint of ruthlessness flashed across his face as he changed his pace and walked towards the second floor of the ancient castle.
At this moment, the arrow was already nocked on the bow, and he had no choice but to release it! Even if the road ahead was beyond redemption, Connor could only kill his way out and fight for that slim chance of survival!
There was no one in the first room of the castle, nor was there anyone in the second room. However, just as Connor was about to push open the door of the third room, he stopped.
Taking a deep breath, Connor's instinct told him that his prey was behind the door!
Slowly pushing open the door, Connor did not even have the time to see everything in the room clearly when he heard a low incantation. At the same time, right in front of him, three balls of dark green liquid that was constantly bubbling outwards were rapidly shooting towards Connor's throat, heart and the space between his eyebrows!
Conor Ferguson didn't even have time to react in the face of this strange attack that was completely beyond the scope of physics. He could only watch helplessly as the three balls of dark-green liquid shot towards his body. He couldn't do anything about it!
However, just as the dark green liquid was one centimeter away from Connor's body, the Sun Emblem hanging in front of Connor's body suddenly erupted with a golden light barrier, firmly blocking the dark green liquid outside of the light barrier!
"Si la!" "Si la!"
Looking at the dark green liquid constantly corroding the light barrier, releasing a large amount of white smoke and a pungent smell, Connor could not help but break out in cold sweat. He could not imagine what kind of tragedy this dark green corrosive liquid would cause without the protection of the Sun Emblem's light barrier!
At this moment, there was another man in the room who was as shocked as Connor. He looked at the unbelievable scene in front of him and muttered in disbelief, "Magic item?" After saying that, a hint of greed flashed across his slender triangular eyes.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
Connor reacted quickly. Standing in front of him was a thin man with triangular eyes that were almost exactly the same as in the sketch that Valverde had given him. He pulled out his gun and fired three shots in a row.
The appearance of this man immediately made Connor's heart sink to the bottom. Without a doubt, this man was Vidal, a wanted criminal in the Kaman Empire who had killed his father, brother and other relatives. At the same time, he was also Rebecca's lover according to Valverde! The situation that Connor was most worried about happened. Rebecca came here to meet Vidal!
Connor missed two of the three bullets, but there was still one bullet that hit Vidal's arm. Dark red blood instantly flowed out of the wound.
Seeing this, Connor was overjoyed. He was about to fire the remaining three bullets in the revolver's chamber at Vidal again to send him on his way. But before he could pull the trigger, he heard Vidal chanting again. Then, Connor's arm that was holding the revolver was hit by a big gray hand. Connor's arm suffered a heavy blow. In pain, he lost his grip on the revolver, and the gun fell to the ground.
"Clang!"
Without waiting for Connor to pick up the revolver again, the big gray hand once again threw the revolver that had fallen on the floor into the distance.
"Kekekeke, Connor Ferguson, I have to admit that I really underestimated you. I didn't expect that not only did you not die from the curse, but you also found this place. How amazing!" Vidal looked at Connor in front of him and said with a sinister smile.
"Oh, is that so? It's my great honor to make you, a wanted criminal of the Empire, marvel. But I've prepared something even more amazing for you. I hope you'll like it, Mr. Vidal! "Connor replied to Vidal with a smile as he glanced around with the corner of his eyes.
The room he was in now should be a bedroom in the castle. There was a bed, a bookcase, a desk, and other furniture. Connor noticed that in addition to him and Vidal, Rebecca was also in the room. However, the beautiful Miss Rebecca was lying on the bed, motionless as if she was asleep. In addition, Connor also noticed that although there was no water in the two cups on the desk, there were traces of moisture. Clearly, someone had used them to drink water not long ago!
"By the way, I wonder what Vidal thinks of the well water in this castle? Does it suit Mr. Vidal's taste? "Connor walked to the desk, raised the cup, and said mockingly.
Hearing Connor's mockery, a hint of anger appeared on Vidal's face. His fierce triangular eyes narrowed.
