Odd Containment Specialist

The team followed the route that had long been recorded in the data and headed towards the swamp area of ​​Yuezhuo Village at night.

With Ling Xiao's pathfinder, traveling has become much more convenient. Bai He is still responsible for avoiding the moonlight, but fortunately, the main part of this route passes through a cave, so Bai He does not need to continue to consume magic power to use his powers.

Xia Shou walked at the end, silently observing everyone's condition.

For him, the weaker the others, the better, because in the final step of the plan, he will become everyone's enemy. As a blood demon, he has to avoid killing the real person when killing the impostor.

This requires overwhelming strength, so the weaker everyone is, the better. The best situation is that everyone is too weak to move, and only he can move freely, and then he is at his best.

By the way... the blood demon who only woke up after his death shouldn't be affected by the rules of Yuezhuo Village, right?

Oh, what a headache.

It's not just Yuezhuo Village that's in trouble, but also that guy No. 58.

No. 58 and Alice should be old acquaintances, but Alice seems to not remember each other at all. Is it because she became a possessed spirit and lost all her memories of her life?

From the few words spoken by No. 58, it can be known that Alice was still in the House of Merlin even when she was alive, and seemed to be responsible for serving the previous owners of the House of Merlin.

"Alice, who was the previous owner of Merlin House?" Xia Shou walked at the end of the team and asked softly.

"Sorry, Master Xia Shou, I forgot." Alice said guiltily.

"It's okay, don't worry about it," Xia Shou comforted.

Since Alice doesn't remember the previous owners, she has to ask about the Death Record Notes.

Alice is the spirit that Notebook made a contract for. It is impossible for Notebook not to know that Alice is the caretaker of Merlin House, and even Deathnote Notebook was the previous owner of Merlin House.

But when they met for the first time in time travel, it hid such an important thing from itself and only told him that Alice was a resentful spirit.

...Now that I think about it, it seems even more suspicious.

Death Record Notes must know a lot of inside information.

At this moment, Xia Shouzhen really wanted to take out the Death Note from the shadow and ask questions, but there were too many people around and the timing was not right, so he had to endure it.

"Xia Shou, have you brought anything to eat with you? You're so hungry. You've eaten all the beef stew and compressed biscuits." Su Weiyu walked forward with a tired look on her face.

Her mental state was also much worse than before, and her physical and mental strength were weakening at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

What worried Xia Shou even more was her latent abyss syndrome.

Xia Shou's true delusion miraculously never occurred after entering Yuezhuo Village.

But Su Weiyu's symptoms of food addiction never subsided for a moment. He often saw Su Weiyu taking out small snacks and eating a few bites from time to time.

In this case, what will happen if Su Weiyu's appetite cannot be satisfied for a long time?

Although it was curious, Xia Shou felt that it would definitely not be a good thing.

"Wait for me." Xia Shou rushed to the front of the team, asked others for a few compressed biscuits, and got the only bottle of mineral water, then gave them all to Su Weiyu to temporarily curb her abnormal appetite.

Although there were only a few compressed biscuits, they were enough to last for a while. Su Weiyu's symptoms were just frequent cravings for food, but her food intake did not increase much.

Liu Yilong, who had the most energy, was holding a makeshift torch and walking at the front of the team.

The sound of water dripping in the cave, and the stalactites hanging upside down above their heads have experienced tens of thousands of years. They are like thirsty travelers who have been trapped in the desert for three days and three nights. Everyone is listless and their strength has weakened to normal. Halfway through the state, even Xia Shou began to worry about whether they could defeat the mysterious monster that defeated the expedition team in the first place.

"Alice."

"Um?"

"There are so many doors in the House of Merlin. Are the previous owners of the house really sealed inside?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Xia Shou, I don't know." Alice paused and then immediately continued, "But I am absolutely loyal to you, Lord Xia Shou, and I will never betray you."

Xia Shou nodded without delving into this point.

He knew that whether to betray or not, to be loyal or not, it was not Alice who was right. There were some rules that Alice could not break, just like he could not turn his head.

No matter how loyal Alice was, his neck would still be broken if he turned his head.

Now, he has become very accustomed to moving his waist and hips at the same time when looking behind him, so that his entire upper body can turn behind him and avoid turning only his head 60 degrees.

Although it had only been a few months, he felt as if he had not turned his head since he was born and had already formed a habit.

But this time, when he asked about the doors of Merlin's House, he wasn't trying to find out where the other owners had gone.

"Can you open those doors?" Xia Shou asked.

Alice hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly: "Yes, but it is very dangerous. Although I don't know what is sealed inside, they must be very dangerous things that will put you in an unpredictable and huge crisis. And …”

Alice paused before continuing softly: "If you want to open the door, unless the time is right...otherwise, even if you are dead, I shouldn't open those doors."

"Are there rules..."

Xia Shou had already been mentally prepared for this answer.

He had already vaguely guessed the meaning of the existence of Merlin's House, and also understood the true responsibility of Alice, the caretaker of the house.

Alice's duty is probably to restrict the owner from opening the sealed door at will.

It is conceivable that if these doors can be opened at will, most of the owners will force the doors open before they die. Summon the extremely dangerous mythical creatures outside the door and fight the enemy.

Merlin's House cannot have so many doors.

"I see the light, I should be right." Liu Yilong said in front.

They walked out of the cave, sticking to the mountain wall behind them, and observing the surrounding environment in the shadow of the mountain wall.

This is a huge swamp. A large number of floating objects set off the contrast of light and dark shadows under the moonlight. The land under their feet is as soft and sticky as hot asphalt in summer. If they continue to approach the edge of the swamp, I am afraid that their calves will sink into the mud.

"It's really terrible. Do we really have to fight here? Just go back." No. 102 backed out.

"I really want to go back to the village. Miss Kamiya is still waiting for me... If I don't go back, Miss Kamiya will be a widow." Goro said helplessly.

Miss Kamiya?

She is already my fiancée, why is she still so polite?

And if you don't go back, she can remarry, after all, she's just a fiancée.

Xia Shou resisted saying such words to avoid irritating Kirigakure Goro's fragile heart. Now returning to his hometown to marry Miss Kamiya is probably his only spiritual support.

"Try hard, Miss Kamiya must still be waiting for you!" Xia Shou patted Goro's shoulder vigorously.

"Xiao Xia..." Goro stared at Xia Shou's eyes with great emotion, as if he was encouraged.

Ling Xiao turned his head in confusion: "Huh? Is it the custom in your ninja village that you can't remarry if your fiancé dies?"

Xia Shou's expression froze. He saw the light in Goro's eyes that just lit up, and it quickly dimmed.

"It's been distinguished. Ling Xiao is fake." Goro said coldly.

"Why am I fake!" Ling Xiao felt wronged and puzzled.

Liu Yilong sighed and said to Ling Xiao: "Are you an idiot? You have no emotional intelligence, right? Didn't you hear that Fatty still called his fiancée by her surname?

Fat actually doesn't know Miss Kamiya very well. It's probably an arranged marriage, but he just likes her very much. You'll irritate him if you say that."

Xia Shou looked at Liu Yilong and thought that your emotional intelligence wasn't that high. Although all your reasonings were correct, why did you say it out loud?

"The first two I'll kill you later." Wu Lang muttered with his eyes out of focus.

"That... that, everyone, stop arguing... It seems like something is coming over there, right?"

113 said timidly, raised his hand, and pointed to the swamp in the east.
