Chapter 922


    "Why don''t we find out?" Arabe, light as a feather, descended from the tree to the ground.


    Romeo followed her lead.


    The guards only caught a glimpse of two shadowy figures before they found themselves unconscious


    on the ground.


    "I''ll handle the heavy lifting.” Romeo, unable to bear the thought of Arabe straining herself, kicked the


    unconscious guards into the underbrush to avoid drawing attention.


    When Arabe was up in the tree earlier, she saw a man emerge from the mountain, fiddling with a


    stone.


    She mimicked the man''s actions, turning the stone counterclockwise. Suddenly, a translucent scanner


    appeared.


    It must be a security system.


    Arabe pulled out her own custom-built software on her phone and scanned the scanner. She soon


    discovered various traces of past check-ins.


    These people must have been using a check-in system to ess the area.


    Each person had a different card with dozens of unique patterns. Arabe input a string of codes into


    her phone, separating each pattern.


    One by one, odd-shaped patterns emerged on her screen.


    Suddenly, a red light on the scanner started shing urgently, apanied by a cold, mechanical


    voice, "You have exceeded the time limit. Please validate your identity within ten seconds, or an rm


    will be activated.


    Ten, nine, eight, seven..."


    Among the separated patterns, Arabe spotted a key-shaped one identical to the one Carol had given


    them.


    "Six, five, four..."


    Arabe used the small key to check-in. The scanner''s red light turned a gentle blue.


    The mechanical voice softened, “Wee home, master."


    Master?


    Asmirk yed on Arabe’s lips, "Seems like the path ahead should be easier."


    A door opened in front of them, and the passage inside was illuminated with high-level lights.


    Arabe exined, "Being recognized as the master by this system means that no traps or hidden


    weapons will target her. The path the master takes is definitely different from that of ordinary people.


    Maybe it leads to the master''s private residence?"


    “Let''s find out" Romeo suggested, taking her hand and leading her inside.


    They had reached a dead end. As Arabe was looking for the next scanner, a door emerged from the

    left wall.


    They went through nine doors before they finally entered the master''s private domain.


    Everything in this ce was made of cold stone. Ten-meter-high walls were decorated with carvings of


    giant, mythical beasts warding off evil spirits. The eerie electronic candlelight gave off a chilling aura. If


    one didnt know better, they would think they''d stumbled into a vampire''sir. It was cold, unlike any


    human abode.


    The space was dauntingly vast, with sofas and tables all carved from stone.


    Everything about this ce screamed one message to anyone who dared enter, the master of this


    ce was heartless.


    A giant diagram on the floor was another talisman against evil spirits.


    The master must havemitted heinous deeds to have such wards in ce.


    "There''s a path over there,’ Romeo pointed to a door on the right.


    Arabe scanned the area with her detector. Finding no cameras or bugs, she followed Romeo into the


    room.


    Ordinarily, such a room would be a lounge or an office.


    But here, it was aboratory.


    The faint smell of blood lingered in the air. Arabe sprayed a luminous substance, revealing glowing


    spots on the floor.


    This indicated that a lot of blood had been spilled here.


    The glow seemed to protest past atrocities silently.


    Could the master have been conducting human experiments here?
