Chapter 150 - 113: Sharp Knife
Last cycle, the nun had just wanted to speak when she was brutally silenced.
This time, the streetwalker told the truth but remained unharmed.
"Maybe the protagonist of the movie doesn’t have a curse that kills them for revealing the truth. The reason the nun died last cycle was probably because of that shadow," analyzed one scholar.
"Considering the power displayed by the shadow, invading the Ghost Domain seems unrealistic," said another scholar.
"What if the shadow had been hiding inside the nun’s body all along?" the first scholar pondered. "Combining the existing information, I boldly speculate that the shadow’s true identity is Maeve. She arrived at the villa before everyone else and even issued a challenge. It’s hard to believe she wasn’t prepared."
"I’ll look for the place where they performed the ritual first."
Zhou Yuan called Fang Qing, who was hidden in the shadows, directing her to pull the streetwalker into the sea of blood. He then began searching the first floor of the villa.
When he arrived at the library, the Eyes of Identification provided a crucial clue:
[See the second wall lamp in the front left? Twist the bulb open, and there’s a tiny button hidden underneath. Pressing the button will open a secret door. However, I don’t recommend opening it now since the movie protagonist and Maeve in hiding can sense the door’s status, and you haven’t gathered enough information yet.
Ha, you’re probably thinking of using the Ghost Walker or the Ghost Domain to sneak in undetected, right? Unfortunately, that’s not possible. There’s a magic circle painted inside the door protected by mystical forces. You can’t break in unless you know some ancient, special incantations.]
