Chapter 502 - 270: Ogiwara Family’s Big Task, Water Dungeon Dilemma_2
[You’re standing waist-deep in rotten and foul-smelling wastewater, completely surrounded by iron walls, with only a grid of reinforced steel above you.]
[Your hands and feet are shackled by symbol-etched chains that drain all your strength away as soon as you muster a hint of force.]
[Your awakening catches the attention of the guard stationed above your cell, prompting him to quickly leave, presumably to report it.]
[In no time, the figure of the ’Head of the Ogiwara Family’ appears outside your watery cell.]
[He dismisses the guards around him, leaving just you and him in the cell.]
[The ’Head of the Ogiwara Family’ squats down, high above, looking at you soaked half in the rotting water, he slowly begins to speak...]
[Are you still puzzled as to how he discovered your true identity?]
[With a faint smile, the ’Head of the Ogiwara Family’ explains that entering the Castle Tower not only requires a boundary token but also a secret password. You failed to announce the password when you arrived, and you didn’t say a word when challenged by the guards.]
[And when you ordered the men to drop their crossbows and arrows, your unusual command drew attention and further scrutiny, subsequently exposing your true identity.]
[Upon investigation, it was found that four guards and two craftsmen had disappeared from the guard tower, leaving no trace of their bodies.]
[By then linking their discovery to your transformation to Xuan Yi during a daytime assassination attempt with the Ninja Dog, they concluded that you’re not merely sheltering witchcraft, but a terrible demon that steals bodies.]
