Chapter 477: A Graceful Name
Madame Butterfly did not proceed towards the other rooms. Instead, with a single wave of her hand, two interlocking circular metal gears appeared before her.
Xu Huo had seen this type of gear once before. Compared to the chains, this was a step closer to the core of Madame Butterfly's mental world.
The two gears meshed and rotated together. With a series of clicking sounds, the endlessly multiplying rooms crumbled and shattered from the distance towards her location. Then, the doors on all four sides of the rooms began to vanish, leaving only one behind.
She stepped forward and pushed the door open. What appeared was not the library corridor, but a new spiral staircase.
"Not bad progress at all." Madame Butterfly snorted with a light laugh, raising a finger. The number of gears increased exponentially, quickly filling the space where the staircase was. Once all the gears began rotating, driven by the central gear, the darkness and the staircase shattered like fragments. What unfolded before her again was the snow-white expanse of the library corridor and the white staircase standing at its center.
Madame Butterfly elegantly opened the door to the adjacent room. In the next second, she appeared at the bottom of the library. Looking at the few materialized items still placed on the desk, she said indifferently, "Surrendering so quickly? How boring."
Xu Huo walked out from a room on the first floor, smiling as he said, "I was afraid you'd tear my place apart."
Madame Butterfly glanced at him, only speaking after sitting down beside the table, "He Pu didn't choose the wrong person. You have exceptional qualities."
Xu Huo sat down opposite her. "I came to Rose Castle by chance, merely happening to meet Mr. He Pu's criteria."
