Wu Shuang and Guimian squeezed through this small ventilation duct. The pipe was very narrow, making Wu Shuang feel uncomfortable; it was even worse for the big guy, Guimian. When they passed by the secret room, there were already over thirty people fully armed outside, with a middle-aged gentleman standing in the center. If Wu Shuang's guess was correct, he should be the Duke—indeed, his information was accurate.

They must have encountered something inside or left behind something that got discovered, which is why it alarmed the Duke. This ventilation duct leads to both the rooftop and the third floor; the rooftop definitely cannot be an option.

The Duke has already spotted them, so there must be snipers on top of all five castles. If they go up to the rooftop, they would surely become targets. Therefore, Wu Shuang decided to move along the ventilation duct to the third floor instead.

There was no one around on the third floor; they entered through the elevator entrance and used the same method to evade surveillance in the monitoring room… The Duke's phone rang—someone from the fifth-floor monitoring room called him, saying that there were issues with the surveillance footage again.

"Which floor" the Duke asked coldly. He had already given orders for any unusual activity in the monitoring room to be reported to him immediately, so upon hearing about the problem with the monitors, he quickly deduced that they must have left the secret room.

This group of treasure thieves seems competent.

"The third to fifth floors are out of sight." As soon as there was an anomaly in the footage, they switched between floor views; all three levels were out of view. A cold smile appeared at the corner of the Duke's lips: "Everyone, head for the third floor!"

The agents, assassins, and guards outside the secret room put away their sidearms and rushed towards the third floor.

The duke ordered a thorough inspection of the third floor, using all available instruments. He also positioned over ten snipers outside the castle to shoot on sight anyone attempting to climb down from the castle walls.

These agents and assassins searched the third floor but failed to locate Wu Shuang and Ghost Mask. They lost four agents in the process: three were shot, while two had their necks broken.

The methods of killing differed; he narrowed his eyes coldly—there were indeed two people involved.

"Don't lose contact with each other. These two are very cunning. If contact is lost, immediately report it," the duke commanded...

Wu Shuang and Ghost Mask hid behind a bed in one of the third-floor bedrooms. Both found their current predicament somewhat amusing; they had never before felt so helpless. There were guards outside the castle walls, making it impossible to slide down them due to the danger involved.

Even if they managed to slip down, how would they escape across 500 meters of open terrain without cover Snipers from above would definitely shoot them; the only way now was to stall for time.

Hiding wasn't Wu Shuang's style, especially when hearing searching footsteps.

"Hey, Ghost Mask, are you still capable as the number one assassin"

"Hmph, I fear it’s more you who can’t!" Ghost Mask retorted coldly.

The two exchanged a smile and decided to act. It was only a matter of time before they were discovered if they kept hiding.

The兩人從床後滾出來，分立於門的兩側，兩名特工踢開大門的時候，無雙和鬼麵一人一邊抓住一個，無雙迅速扭斷男人的脛骨，鬼麵的薄刀也劃破一人的脖頸，他們的悶哼聲傳到其餘特工的耳朵裡，眾人紛紛朝這邊湧過來……

The two rolled out from behind the bed and stood on either side of the door. When two agents kicked open the door, Wushuang grabbed one while Guimian grabbed the other. Wushuang swiftly snapped the man’s tibia, and Guimian’s thin blade sliced through another agent's neck. Their stifled groans reached the ears of the remaining agents who then rushed over...

Gunshots erupted all around...

In the third-floor hallway, gunshots echoed non-stop as Wushuang and Guimian dodged while eliminating members of Devil’s Castle. They kept their distance from windows to avoid becoming targets for snipers.

The Duke narrowed his eyes coldly and waved his hand, commanding with authority, “Kill them all, without regard for life or death.”

Agents downstairs were also roused and rushed up to the third floor. Wushuang and Guimian had already taken down more than ten people by then, picking up their guns and ammunition to conserve resources.

The two ran towards the elevator. One went in front while the other followed behind, entrusting their backs to each other. In this extremely dangerous situation, they shared a mutual trust.

This was Wushuang’s first time trusting someone outside of her family and Kaka.

An agent darted out from behind a room door and shot at Wushuang's back. Guimian did not hesitate; she acted faster than the agent, shooting him down. Meanwhile, Wushuang simultaneously hurled a throwing knife into another killer’s forehead.

This seamless cooperation resulted in the majority of the assassins on the third floor being eliminated. The duke was shocked and couldn't believe that his heavily paid-for assassins were so easily defeated, almost completely wiped out within half an hour. Some had been injured and fell unconscious.

Two assassins escorted the duke away from Devil's Castle; it was too dangerous to stay.

Wu Shuang and Ghostface grew increasingly bold, slashing their way through a bloody path. Suddenly, a man jumped down from above and tackled Wu Shuang to the ground. He saw that she had a woman with her, so he targeted Wu Shuang first. She was vigilant against threats ahead and didn't notice him; thus, she was momentarily knocked over by his tackle, dropping her gun several meters away. The man's blackened gun barrel pointed directly at Wu Shuang’s forehead while three other African assassins lunged for Ghostface to separate them.

Wu Shuang grasped the man's wrist and turned the gun sideways; tragedy struck in this moment of chaos. Since he had already planned to fire, his aim was inadvertently directed towards Ghostface when Wu Shuang twisted it, resulting in a bullet hitting Ghostface’s shoulder.

Wu Shuang suddenly panicked while Ghostface understood that it was an accident and didn't think much about it. However, with three African assassins before him, the moment he was struck by the bullet, one of them punched his wound, sending Ghostface flying.

The bullet hit his right shoulder, rendering his right hand useless.

Wu Shuang's cold gaze hardened; regardless of her relationship with Ghostface, they had saved each other’s lives in this crisis and were partners on a treasure hunt. She wouldn't tolerate such an error that put their mission at risk due to her own mistake.

The man tried to fire a second shot at Wu Shuang but she swiftly raised her right hand, slicing his throat with the blade before he could do so. The man fell dead while Wu Shuang quickly got up from the ground. One of the African assassins was about to shoot Ghostface; Wu Shuang acted without hesitation, leaping forward and tackling him instead. His gun barrel shifted sideways as a result, firing into the window. Rolling over, she straddled the assassin’s lower abdomen and punched his head repeatedly until he passed out.
