e been her idols since she was young, and she never imagined that she would get to be close to them. She watched their performances with deep reverence, learning from their acting techniques.Cheng Yin...Chapter 418

After sticking the jammer, Wu Shuang pried open the elevator door and quickly slipped out. There were eight surveillance cameras rotating in the hallway; she dashed through it as fast as possible to avoid detection. However, each jammer had a time limit that varied based on circumstances. The jammers Wu Shuang just stuck only worked for five minutes, so from prying open the elevator door to crossing the hallway, she only had five minutes.

The surveillance room on the fifth floor showed pixelated images; it was completely white with nothing visible. One person asked sensitively, "What's going on"

The technician checked the signal and connection of the cameras but frowned in confusion. Suddenly, he glanced up and said calmly, "The wiring is loose."

"Fix it quickly."

He called the surveillance room on the ground floor to ask about their situation; they reported everything was normal with no one entering and nothing unusual happening in the footage. Within less than five minutes, the wiring was fixed. The image wasn't clear but there were faint movements, becoming normal again after a minute. This surveillance room monitored floors 1 to 6, and the staff started checking from floor 6 downwards. No suspicious activity was found.

There were eight people in the surveillance room; some chatted while others worked. One person said, "Tonight is truly bizarre: someone came to steal things earlier, then the surveillance went wrong—could someone have entered"

A staff member replied with a chuckle, "Who can enter here Those who did all left in body bags; getting into the ground floor lobby was already remarkable. The best managed to get to the third floor, and no one reached the fifth."

"That's true."

"These people are truly fearless or don't want to live anymore by stealing from Devil's Castle."

Another staff member laughed, "The Duke is indeed amazing. I wonder where he got this designer. This castle is impregnable."

Wu Shuang had reached the secret room’s entrance; she was familiar with all the mechanisms in this castle and knew how to bypass them from bottom to top. However, she couldn't avoid the sixth floor's mechanism and could only pull the master switch, but doing so would alert others.

The sixth floor wasn’t manned, and the surveillance camera at the secret room’s entrance was rotating. Wu Shuang stood in a blind spot, contemplating how to proceed when suddenly she heard a faint sound; her body tensed as she swiftly turned around, only to see a dark figure rapidly approaching.

It's Ghost Mask

Wushuang thought that Ghost Mask had already come up before her, but she didn't expect him to be behind her. The traces in the elevator were very recent.

The two people stared at each other for a moment; the atmosphere around them became tense. There were only two blind spots near the door of the secret room, and they each occupied one side. Wushuang asked, "Didn't you come up before me"

"Later I realized that I had forgotten something, so I went down again," Ghost Mask replied coldly with no warmth in his voice. He looked at the door of the secret room and said, "Do you have a way to get inside"

Wushuang smiled indifferently without responding. She raised her wrist to check her watch and said, "I have one night's time; there is no need to rush."

"Neither do I," Ghost Mask stated.

Wushuang gave a cold laugh, "It seems that you are determined to follow me."

"You seem very familiar with Devil Castle," he said calmly. It would be more efficient and safer for him to follow Wushuang than to wander around aimlessly risking his life. If it were somewhere else, he wouldn't have followed a woman under any circumstances, but here in Devil Castle, many people had lost their lives. He was determined not to lose his until he achieved his goal.

"Just because I am familiar with the place doesn’t mean that I will bring you along," Wushuang said indifferently as she raised her eyebrows and looked at Ghost Mask. "There are many who repay kindness with malice; why should I take you into the secret room If you were to turn against me, I would have to deal with Devil Castle’s traps while also being wary of you. Am I that foolish Besides, you might stab me in the back. So, Ghost Mask, forget about it. We’ll each go our separate ways."

Ghost Mask gave a cold laugh and looked straight at Wushuang with his icy eyes before saying calmly, "I believe you don't want anything to happen to me because it wouldn't benefit you in any way. The guards here are not like those from third-rate places; many of them used to be retired agents or assassins who are extraordinary. Even if you have the courage and skill to face the dangers of Devil Castle, you must have asked around about these people beforehand. Do you think that you can handle all of them alone"

"What difference does it make whether I can or not This is my business; originally, I was supposed to do this by myself. Meeting you was just a coincidence. It's more convenient for me to act alone. Frankly speaking, Ghost Mask, I don't want you to get in the way of me."

As the top international assassin under Ghost Mask, her attitude towards him was extremely disrespectful. Anyone who heard this would think that Wushuang was arrogant and impolite, but in fact, she really did have a bold and unruly temperament.

Fitting as the daughter of Ye Wei; her demeanor is exactly like hers back then.

The daughter of Ye Wei and Mo Jue is indeed better than her parents.

To dare speak to him in this manner.

What she said was partly true; it's easier for one person to dodge trouble, deal with situations, or escape if something goes wrong. If there were another person around, the risk would increase.

Having more people doesn't always mean having greater strength.

In matters like exploration, too many people can be a hindrance.

If he was discovered, she wouldn't escape either; if he triggered a mechanism, she'd suffer the consequences as well.

Wu Shuang's worries were quite reasonable. The Masked Ghost couldn't refute her; he merely smiled faintly and said, "Rest assured, I won’t drag you down with me. On the contrary, don't drag me down."

She laughed lightly, exuding a hint of domineering authority that chilled like winter snow, making it hard to look away. She suddenly found she quite liked his personality; if he had threatened her by saying something along the lines of creating a commotion and taking everyone down with him unless she brought him along, she might have agreed just to get rid of him once and for all.

She hated it when others tried to threaten her and wouldn't tolerate such behavior under any circumstances.

But the Masked Ghost didn’t make those threats; instead, he mocked her by saying not to drag him down.

This arrogance pleased her.

"Alright then, I'll take you with me," Wu Shuang said succinctly and decisively. "However, there are conditions: First, if what you want inside is the same as mine, you must give it to me; second, you have to follow my instructions."

The Masked Ghost paused for a moment, narrowing his eyes in apparent reluctance. Wu Shuang didn’t push him and gave him ample time to think about it. If he couldn't accept these two conditions, she wouldn’t waste her time.

"My ex-girlfriend wanted the Iranian princess "Invincible". Later, I found out that Invincible is kept in Devil's Castle. I'll take a chance and bet on it. I hope what I want isn’t the same as what you want." The Masked Ghost said solemnly; he was quite afraid that what he wanted might be the same as Invincible because of its name, and also the necklace worn by the Iranian princess. He really couldn't guess what could make Invincible take a risk.

Invincible raised an eyebrow with a smile, "Congratulations to you then, we want different things. This is my first time hearing about Invincible." If she had heard of it earlier, maybe she would be interested as well, but mainly because she wasn’t very interested in jewelry and didn't pay much attention.

The Masked Ghost hummed, "No problem with the second condition."

Everything was settled. Invincible also got to work immediately; she took out a remote control from her handbag, pursing her lips, “You have five minutes once you enter this secret room. The door of this secret room is just an illusion. Once you enter it, turn left and there’s a small statue of a goddess on your right-hand side. Turn the statue to the left.”

"Okay." The Masked Ghost didn’t ask why; Invincible nodded as she pressed the remote control to cut off power in Devil's Castle. The door was made of stone, and there were some carvings on it with protrusions that seemed like a pattern. In the middle, there was a long sequence of English letters. Once the power was turned off, Invincible took out her voice recorder.

"Harley Kane." As soon as the recording started playing, the stone door opened and Invincible quickly turned around, "Go in."

Her hand remained on the palm print of the secret room’s door; it couldn’t be removed. The Masked Ghost swiftly entered through the stone door which closed shut rapidly behind him. He furrowed his brow and understood that he had to follow Invincible's instructions and turn the small statue.

Invincible released her hand, quickly entering into the stone door as well.

The moment the stone door closed, the lights in the corridor turned on.

This was a specially designed stone door that only allowed one person to pass through at any given time. If there were two people trying to enter simultaneously, they would be cut into half by magnetic waves instantly. This had been written down after the experiment by Ocean Blue. She also mentioned how terrifying it felt when her soul was split in half for the first time.

The voice recorded on the recorder was not that of the Duke but his son Harley Kane. That’s why so many people who came to Devil's Castle were turned away as they had all expected the door to be opened by the Duke and not someone else.

That palm print belonged to the Duke, while Invincible’s hand had been covered with a thin layer of artificial human skin which was also that of the Duke. The design of this stone door was ingenious. After entering inside, the Masked Ghost figured out the trick— if he did not turn the small statue, Invincible would be unable to enter since the voice recognition program couldn’t identify it within 24 hours. In other words, only one person had ever entered this secret room in the castle—the Duke—and the master switch was inside.

The Masked Ghost once thought of not letting Invincible come in but that was just a fleeting thought; he knew that when it came to exploration, he could never be as good as Invincible. With her leading the way, his chances of getting the treasure and exiting were higher.r was off-topic, but Wu Shuang's myriad of questions were washed away by his statement.
