Chapter 926: The Message
On the staircase from the second to the castle's third floor, Alice and the bespectacled man led the way, Su Xiao and Bubbu following behind.
When Su Xiao stepped onto the stairs leading to the third floor, he felt like he passed through a thin membrane again. He glanced back at the second floor, which still appeared as it initially did, with neatly arranged dining tables.
However, from Su Xiao's current perspective, looking at the second floor felt like peering into another world—so close yet seemingly thousands of miles away.
"Brave one, is something wrong?" Alice's voice was gentle as she stopped walking.
"Nothing, I just left something on the second floor," Su Xiao replied.
"That's unfortunate," Alice said and continued up the stairs.
"Unfortunate?" Su Xiao indeed left something on the second floor—a coordinate transmitter. This revealed to him that each castle floor might be an independent space, making it nearly impossible to return to the second or first floors.
From an external perspective, the castle's structure seemed normal, going from top to bottom, but each floor was tightly sealed. With guidance from Alice or the Wolf Butler, one could freely move within the castle, meaning the game had no retreat.
Realizing this, Su Xiao continued up the stairs.
