First, someone broke in and was killed, then there were issues with the surveillance footage, followed by a power outage. This castle has its own private power plant and rarely experiences outages.

Even if an outage does occur, it would be announced beforehand to prepare for it.

It’s impossible for the power to go out without reason.

"What's going on"

In the monitoring room on the first floor, one person frowned. Someone else’s comment woke him up to the possibility that there might still be someone in the castle who hasn’t left.

“Activate all security mechanisms inside and outside the castle, open ventilation outlets, use thermal sensors to check every floor, send a few people to the sixth floor to see what's happening.” After receiving the message, the Duke quickly gave instructions.

Wuzuang and Gimo walked cautiously along the glass path. First was darkness, then came a corridor glowing with blue light. Wuzuang and Gimo put on protective glasses; these glasses not only protect in case of explosions but also shield against various laser radiations to safeguard the eyes. The surrounding blue light is very harmful to the eyes; wearing the glasses allowed them to see infrared lines on the glass floor…

The two exchanged a glance and carefully crossed through the infrared beams. This level of challenge was trivial for them, but after crossing the infrared, Gimo asked, "Where's the master switch for the security mechanisms"

After passing through the infrared, they encountered a dead end with only a wall in front of them. It appeared to be made of obsidian and was pitch black, alternating between blue and black patches, making it seem very eerie.

So far, they hadn't encountered any security mechanisms because everything is inside the castle.

On one of the walls, there’s a chessboard. Wuzuang stood in front of the chessboard which had each piece set up like players waiting for someone to start a game: chariots and generals on both sides, horses and cannons, elephants and pawns...

According to Hailan, this is the mechanism for the main gate.

Without Pity moved the chess pieces into a checkmate position, and suddenly, a square door half a meter high opened in the stone wall. Inside was the master switch; Without Pity pulled down the gate, turned off the gravity sensor, then closed the door, and rearranged the chess pieces on the board.

Checkmate! Death!

The stone door opens!

"Is this the mechanism" Ghost Face asked. Without Pity nodded. "Don't underestimate this chessboard. Setting up such an intricate array isn't simple. Do you know why the Duke set up Chinese chess instead of Western chess"

Ghost Face shook his head. Without Pity laughed and said, "It's very simple. Because Westerners are accustomed to playing international chess, few play this type of chess. In London, most treasure hunters are Westerners who don't know how to play Chinese chess; even if they're Easterners, not many would be able to do so either. So using a Chinese chess layout for the mechanism is both meticulous and clever. The Duke's mind is quite extraordinary."

Can you play

I can, but just now I simply arranged the final position in my memory onto the board.

This chess problem is very difficult. Hailan used her unique ability to memorize the final image of the chessboard and recorded it, so she remembered everything.

Fortunately, it hasn't changed over these many years.

The two entered the secret chamber as the stone door closed behind them; this was the secret room...

The lighting inside was very bright. The floor, walls, and ceiling were all made of glass with embedded lights giving off a strong white light. The temperature in the entire secret chamber must be at least 40 degrees Celsius.

Within the secret chamber lay various treasures: Persian deity statues, priceless paintings, crowns left behind by ancient Egyptian kings, oil paintings from Europe's most famous artists, and countless jewels...

There were several large boxes. When Wu Shuang and Guimian opened them, they saw dazzling treasures inside, filling up the entire box. It seemed that these jewels belonged to one person, which was why they had been carefully stored here with signatures beneath...

In a corner on a special table were擺放著幾頭生肖，青銅製成的，看起來有些年代了，但冇有褪色。

This place itself was like a treasure trove. Just one thing taken out could provide three generations of enjoyment.

Here stored珍藏著

Wu Shuang and Guimian were not greedy people, each seeking what they wanted. It wasn't hard for Guimian to find his 'Wu Shuang', it was a necklace embedded with yellow sapphires. The color was pure and the design perfect; it really was very beautiful.

Having gone through all of the jewelry boxes, Wu Shuang still couldn’t find Heart of Azure Sea.

"What are you looking for"

"Heart of Azure Sea." Wu Shuang said. At this point there wasn't much to hide. Having searched for almost half an hour without finding it, her temper was a little frayed and she let out some rather unbecoming curses. Guimian found this very surprising; he had thought that the cool and icy young woman could control her emotions well.

"What's it like I'll help you look." Guimian offered to help. He hadn't heard of Heart of Azure Sea, so Wu Shuang shook her head at him. "Just stand there and don’t move. The mechanisms in the secret room are tricky; disturbing them could cause trouble. I can find it myself."

Because they had turned off the master switch for all the mechanisms, they were able to search freely here for what they wanted. If they hadn't switched it off, there would be tens of different mechanisms in this place. The placement of these jewels looked ordinary but was actually quite tricky. Wu Shuang did not dare act too recklessly.

As the mechanism map for Heart of Azure Sea ended here, she was afraid that a double mechanism might activate if she touched anything inside; then the master switch would be useless and the mechanisms would start up again. So Wu Shuang was very careful.

"Don’t worry, I know my limits. Tell me what it looks like, two people working together will be faster." Guimian said. Wu Shuang frowned slightly as she briefly described Heart of Azure Sea to him. They then split up to look for it. Even after searching for more than twenty minutes and turning the secret room upside down, they still couldn't find Heart of Azure Sea.

Wu Shuang furrowed her brows, feeling anxious as well. "Damn it, where could she have gone."

The Ghost Mask said, "Could it be that the Sapphirina Heart you're looking for isn't here"

Wu Shuang shook her head. "Impossible, I am certain that it must be here."

The Sapphirina Heart was the Duke's most prized treasure; placing it near him would certainly be dangerous. Given his suspicious nature, the Sapphirina Heart had to be in a secret room. But where exactly

Wu Shuang calmed herself and surveyed this secret chamber. The walls were made of glass, as well as the floor and ceiling. There wasn't much that could be hidden here. The treasure must be inside the secret room…

She glanced at her watch; it was already close to an hour.

She had to act quickly, the longer she stayed here, the more dangerous it would become.

"Wu Shuang, why not leave" The Ghost Mask suggested. "After searching for so long and not finding it, the thing you're looking for may not even be here."

"If you want to go, then go on your own. The importance of the Sapphirina Heart to me far surpasses its significance to Wu Shuang to you. I will stop at nothing to get it," Wu Shuang said sternly, no longer bothering to feign a smile towards him. Her phoenix-like eyes swept over every corner of the secret chamber; what had she overlooked

Wu Shuang's gaze suddenly darkened as she looked up at the ceiling…

The incandescent light was very bright, and Wu Shuang gazed at the lights on the ceiling before suddenly asking, "Do you feel hot"was an unexpected event.Originally, he just wanted someone not too repulsive, but Bai Liu was actually someone Moyao liked very much. He was great, passionate and unrestrained, daring to love and hate...
